I've never seen the actual use the Seder Olam Rabah chronology before, especially combined with the Christian counting of years, so I assumed it was a typo. I certainly didn't intend to open an argument on the subject...</p>
<p>And you're right, technically the first temple period should begin with the building of the temple sometime during the first half of the 10th century. In modern Land of Israel archaeology the first temple period (aka Iron Age II) has become synonymous with the period of the united kingdom (under Saul, David, Solomon) and the kingdoms of Judah and Israel. This period began c. 1000 and ended with the Babylonian conquest of Judah. </p>rickismom commented on 'A quiet place to read Eicha (Lamentations)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef011572443b50970b2009-07-29T05:12:10Z2009-07-29T05:12:10Zrickismomhttp://beneaththewings.blogspot.com/Sounds like an ideal setting.....<p>Sounds like an ideal setting.....</p>Bob commented on 'A quiet place to read Eicha (Lamentations)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0115714fc4d5970c2009-07-29T04:37:50Z2009-07-29T04:37:50ZBobhttp://lostfart.blogspot.comAvi-- I believe David simply did a direct date conversion from the Hebrew Calendar (which for dates prior to the...<p>Avi--<br />
I believe David simply did a direct date conversion from the Hebrew Calendar (which for dates prior to the days of Alexander the Great gives <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_years" rel="nofollow">erroneous results)</a>. This is a sensitive subject for those who hold to tradition.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, your date of 1000 BCE for the original construction of the Temple is a bit too early.</p>Mark commented on 'A quiet place to read Eicha (Lamentations)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0115724287af970b2009-07-28T21:46:41Z2009-07-28T21:46:41ZMarkI usually wish people a "meaningful fast".

<p>Where did you get those dates? The first temple period is dated c. 1000-586 BCE. </p>
<p>By the way, you're right. There was a Jewish settlement at Horvat Anim during the first temple period. It's identified by archaeologists with the Anim mentioned in Joshua 15:50. This is based on the context of the biblical passage (it's mentioned after Eshtamoa and along with other nearby South Hebron hills place-names) and because of the preservation of the biblical name in the modern Arabic name. The synagogue and other ancient remains which are visible at the site date to the late Roman - Byzantine period (4th-6th century CE). </p>val commented on 'A quiet place to read Eicha (Lamentations)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0115714bbf97970c2009-07-28T10:32:23Z2009-07-28T10:32:23Zvalhttp://bogieval.blogs.com/valcentric/I wish I could.
