Gath, the hometown of the biblical giant Goliath, was destroyed 2,800 years ago by the Arameans. Now, researchers may have found how exactly it was done.
What archaeologists were after was a gap in the otherwise massive fortifications of this Iron Age settlement in central Israel, best known as the hometown of the mythical giant Goliath.
Gath, also known today as Tell es-Safi, was one of the main city states of the Philistines until it was conquered and destroyed around 830 B.C.E. by the forces of the Aramean king Hazael.
