Stratum 6—c. 10th century B.C.E.
Israelite fortresses were built in the Negev desert to protect the southern border from the Egyptians. In ‘En Hatzeva, a structure dating to this period—possibly to the time of King Solomon—resembles others from the 10th century B.C.E., such as one at Arad. In a 925 B.C.E. stela at Karnak, in Egypt, Pharaoh Sheshonq I (called Shishak in the Bible) boasts that he has conquered “the fortified cities of Judah.”
