Site where Samson met Delilah found near Beit Shemesh
American and Israeli archaeologists uncovered the Timnah site near Beit Shemesh between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The late Bronze Age Canaanite city, burned and destroyed about 1200 years before Christ, yields floors ovens silos and Philistine pottery. Timnah, linked to Samson in Judges, bordered Philistia and Judea and is tied to Sennacherib's 701 B.C. campaign.
