King David's Tomb

Hello friends!

I was listening to one of my favorite presenters on a Bible teaching, the interviewer started asking some questions, and the interview started to take a completely different turn.  The off-topic subject turned to a discussion of King David. Where is be buried?  What was buried with him?

As everyone knows, David killed a giant named Goliath, and cut off his head with Goliath's own sword. He took the head and the giant's armor as trophies. This was when he was just a lad, not yet a king.  Later, as King, recieving tributes from lesser kings whom he had conquered, the armor and head may have been displayed in remembrance of King David's feat.  What happened to Goliath's head?  Where is his armor?  A fascinating subject and worth a bit more discussion!

The Traditional Location of King David's Tomb

"King David's Tomb is a site traditionally viewed as the burial place of David, King of Israel. It is located on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, near the Hagia Maria Sion Abbey. The tomb is situated in a ground floor corner of the remains of the former Hagia Zion, a Byzantine church; the upper floor of the same building has traditionally been viewed as the Cenacle of Jesus...

"The contents of the sarcophagus have not yet been subjected to any scientific analysis, to determine their age, former appearance, or even whether there is actually still a corpse there.

"The authenticity of the site has been challenged on several grounds. According to the Bible, David was actually buried within the City of David together with his forefathers... by contrast, the 4th century Pilgrim of Bordeaux reports that he discovered David to be buried in Bethlehem, in a vault that also contained the tombs of Ezekiel, Jesse, Solomon, Job, and Asaph, with those names carved into the tomb walls... The genuine David's Tomb is unlikely to contain any furnishings of value; according to the first century writer Josephus, Herod the Great tried to loot the tomb of David, but discovered that someone else had already done so before him."

Ernest L Martin's Ideas on the Matter

"The location of the Tombs of King David and his family can be easily understood once the proper site of the Temples of God is taken into account. If the biblical and historical evidence is correctly understood (and I believe it is), then what those Tombs could contain would change the world and lead millions to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, starting from Jerusalem...

"“Particularly notice that at the time of Nehemiah the  sepulchres of David (and many other early kings of Judah) were located at the  base of the stairs that went down into the Kedron Valley from the City of  David... They were positioned alongside a pool that was fed by the  waters of a conduit from the Gihon Spring...

"These sepulchres in Nehemiah’s time were positioned  not far south of the Gihon Spring over which the Temple then stood. In the  earlier period from David to Nehemiah it was common to place the tombs of  distinguished persons (especially kings) outside the Temple, but not far  away. They were certainly not buried far to the north near the Dome of the  Rock.

"Martin, Temples Jerusalem Forgot, p. 336"
