Bible Question:
I have been told that the priestly line has been verified in our day thru DNA testing. Was there ever a Kingly or other type of residence during the first or second temple periods situated in close proximity to the temple? |
Bible Answer: When you say Kingly residence situated in close proximity of the temple. Do you mean built on the temple mound? If so yes Davids/Solomon's palace and Herod's palace were all built upon the temple mound. In fact under the temple mound they have found the remnants of Solomon's stables. Muslims have hollowed out under the temple mound to rid the area of any artifacts of Jewish origin. |
