An interview of the Chief Rabbi of Mount Zion and King David’s Tomb, HaRav Yitzchak Goldstein, Shlit”a, on The Tamar Yonah Show, IsraelNewsTalkRadio.com, about the true location of King David’s Tomb. Included is a supporting statement, recorded on video, by Israeli Antiquities Authority archaeologist Dr. Yiftach Shalev, who says it is now known that Iron-Age Jerusalem, in the time of the kings, included Mount Zion.
“…it’s written in the Tanach, in Ezra and Nehemiah (Nechemyah), that, when the Jewish people came back from the Babylonian exile and rebuilt the walls around Jerusalem, it says they built the wall across the graves of King David, so they knew where it was. At that point, they settled in Jerusalem for another 400 years, before they went into the Roman exile.
“At the end of those 400 years, before they left Jerusalem, there’s a famous story in Flavius Josephus (Yosef ben Gurion), who wrote down in a few of his books that the City of David is here in the south-western mountain — the top of the mountain — and he identifies this area as the place where King David, King Solomon, and King Hezekiah were buried.”
