New archaeological findings support the truthfulness and historical trustworthiness of the Bible.
Research corroborates many of the details found in the First Book of Kings.
Archaeological discoveries in recent times have vindicated numerous details in the Bible.
‘God is the author of Sacred Scripture because he inspired its human authors; he acts in them and by means of them. He thus gives assurance that their writings teach without error his saving truth.’ (Catechism 136)

The burial cave became a pilgrimage destination after local Christians identified it as Salome’s burial place in the Byzantine era, Firer said.
