Biblical City Where David Battled Goliath Found?

The remains of an ancient gate has pinpointed the location of the biblical city Sha'arayim, say archaeologists working in Israel. In the Bible, young King David is described as battling Goliath in the city, before eventually killing him in the Elah Valley. The fortified gate at the Elah Fortress--the second to be found at the site--proves the existence of Sha'arayim, which means "two gates" in Hebrew, said Hebrew University archaeologist Yosef Garfinkel. "All the sites from this period uncovered so far had only one gate. We have two gates and this is very unusual," Garfinkel said. The gate, constructed of stones weighing up to ten tons, is located on the site's eastern side, facing Jerusalem.
