Abstract

In this essay the author deals with the high or low chronology debate of the Iron Age IIA in Ancient Israel. Israel Finkelstein dated Stratum VA-IVB at Megiddo to the ninth century B.C.E. with far reaching consequences for the historical, cultural and political processes during the first centuries of the monarchy. Not the House of David (Solomon), but the Omrides are the builders of the monumental structures in Megiddo. The whole debate is reviewed from the methodological point of view. The relationship between archaeological data and the biblical record is discussed as well as the hermeneutical problem of historical reconstruction between ‘Biblical’ and ‘Ancient’ Israel.
