The Iron Age Shrines of Judah: Arad, Be'er Sheva, Lachish

Abstract

We can assume that in the three biblical sites in Judah were sanctuaries of Iron Age. The sanctuary of Iron Age were found at Arad (the only ever discovered House of YHWH in Israel), another altar and cultic objects were also found at Beersheba.

On the relief from Nineveh we can find conquest of Lachish with cultic objects.
