The Search for King David

Summary In the Old Testament, King David is the shepherd poet who, after slaying the giant Goliath, goes on to become the first king of a united Israel. But was he a real historical figure, or a mythological King? According to some scientists the archaeological evidence appears to call the story into question; others claim they have already found the evidence to prove it's true. To find out, Josh examines an ancient basalt slab inscribed with David's name, recreates his famous fight with Goliath, and descends through a `secret' waterway into the heart of Jerusalem.
