The Bible is a wonderful source of historical information. This information can be compared with archaeological data, and it is this comparison that will result in the most accurate interpretation possible. The Bible + Archaeology = Historical Truth.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God..." (II Timothy 3:16).
"The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever" (Psalms 12:6 and 7).

Dr. Yigal Shiloh and Bud Chrysler
In the summer of 1984, Bud participated in the City of David Excavations directed by Dr. Yigal Shiloh, of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was assigned to area D-2 with area supervisors Donald Ariel and Yair Shoham. The Mid-Slope Wall, that had been constructed by the Jebusites and later repaired by King Hezekiah and Nehemiah, ran through the center of the area, and much of the pottery Bud found there dated to the eighth century BC. There were rock-cut tombs on top of the ridge overhead, with the Fountain Gate to the south and the Water Gate to the north above the Gihon Spring. "The Bible and the landscape came together before my eyes."
