The history of David's Jerusalem remains one of the most
contentious topics of the ancient world. This study engages with
debates about the nature of this location by examining the most
recent archaeological data from the site and by exploring the
relationship of these remains to claims made about David's royal
center in biblical narrative. Daniel Pioske provides a detailed
reconstruction of the landscape and lifeways of early 10th century
BCE Jerusalem, connected in biblical tradition to the figure of
David. He further explores how late Iron Age (the Book of
Samuel-Kings) and late Persian/early Hellenistic (the Book of
Chronicles) Hebrew literary cultures remembered David's Jerusalem
within their texts, and how the remains and ruins of this site
influenced the memories of those later inhabitants who depicted
David's Jerusalem within the biblical narrative. By drawing on both
archaeological data and biblical writings, Pioske calls attention
to the breaks and ruptures between a remembered past and a
historical one, and invites the reader to understand David's
Jerusalem as more than a physical location, but also as a place of
memory.
