MORE ON THE KHIRBET QEIYAFA INSCRIPTION: Aren Maier was at the 35th archaeological congress in Jerusalem and noted the following on the Tell es-Safi/Gath Excavations Official (and Unofficial) Weblog.

Among that that I heard that were VERY interesting:
1) Haggai Misgav spoke about the Kh. Qeiyafa inscription, which still is for the most part undeciphered, but he showed some good slides of the 5 lines, 50 letters, and showed nicely the reading of, e.g., eved (slave), melek (king), al t’as (don’t do in biblical hebrew), etc. Inter alia, the so-called “Goliath inscription” from Tell es-Safi/Gath was mentioned.
