“They were potters and they were living in Neta'im and Gederah; they were residing there with the king, working to his service.”
I start by quoting to the Ancient Testament, in one of his most enigmatic versículos for the historical archaeology specializing in the Bible. There one mentions to two cities, Neta'im and Gederah. The first one of them is the one that we are interested in, since only it is mentioned in this versículo along the whole Old Testament, and this fleeting mention has been enough to Neta'im so that the archaeologists were breaking the head trying to locate his traces.
In yesterday, in an excellent archaeological find for the history of the Christianity, Israeli investigators directed by Gershon Galil, teacher of Biblical studies of the University of Haifa in Israel, have confirmed the location of the city of Neta'im. It is a question of the city Kirbet Qeiyafa, establishment that previously had collaborated the Biblical city Sha'arayim, but that now has corroborated his definitive relation with Neta'im.
The key for it there have been exactly the ceramios mentioned in the Biblical appointment. Analyses of ceramic fragments and of holes where olives were burned have confirmed a dating of 1.000 years B.C. for the place, epoch in which King David was reigning.
“The Neta'im inhabitants were afareros that they were working to the service of the king and that they were living in an important administrative center close to the border with the Philistines”, affirms Gail regarding the inhabitants of the city. The assertion of which this place talks each other of Neta'im is because it is located close to the Vale Elah, identified like the Biblical people of Gederah.
At present Khirbet Qeiyafa contains ruins of an ancient fortitude in the top of a hill with sight to the Vale Elah. 3.000 years ago, nevertheless, there was blooming here a humble people of potters unraveled by the best historical source of the Christianity: the Bible.
