Re: Ezra-Neh
Asia,
Shishak (Sheshonk) is mentioned in Egyptian texts. It's hard to claim
that "contemporary texts lie" when we have confirmation from 2
independent sources.
As for the historicity of Solomon (and David), there has been an
ongoing discussion in the First Century Judaism group, and I refer you
to that. I fon't think the last word has been said.
