When the Stones Speak

The Remarkable Discovery of the City of David and What Israel's Enemies Don't Want You to Know

De: Doron Spielman

Narrado por: Doron Spielman

This is the untold story of the rediscovery of the ancient City of David in Jerusalem and the powerful evidence that proves the Jewish people’s historical and indigenous connection to the Holy Land.

Since the founding of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have faced nine wars against multiple enemies. Yet, beyond the physical conflicts, a deeper ideological battle has been waged against Israel and the Jewish people. This war, crafted by certain Arab leaders and echoed by international organizations like the United Nations, seeks to erase the Jewish people’s ancestral ties to the land, casting them as outsiders, imposters, and “settlers.”

One thing, however, stands in the way of the denialists: the 3,800-year history of the City of David, a site lying just south of the Old City. Archeologists at the site are unearthing evidence that proves the Jewish people’s origin story in the land for over three millennia. Every shovel of dirt reveals that while others may claim to be indigenous to Jerusalem, the Jewish people are, in fact, more indigenous to the Land of Israel than perhaps any other group living anywhere in the world.

This is the timely story of those who transformed City of David from a neglected hilltop village into one of the most important archeological heritage sites in the world, while facing powerful global institutions and terror groups that would do almost anything to keep this truth hidden. Highly relevant to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this book foreshadows the events and historical denialism that unfolded with Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

“A groundbreaking account of the courageous people and the precious site that proved to the world the truth of Israel’s biblical past. Doron Spielman, soldier and scholar, takes us through the extraordinary story of the City of David and what it means for Israel and its supporters today. A riveting and inspiring read.”—Dr. Michael Oren, Israel's former Ambassador to the United States

Excellent writing and weaving together of the whole story.

This book was captivating from the very first sentence. I loved how the archeological history was woven into the story of the past and the present. I was saddened the book ended and anxiously await more details. Please write more!

The history buried deep

Very good read, explains in detail how history is being erased. What do the others not want us to know about the past? Makes me think of the quote that, “if you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth”

An amazing book you won’t regret every minute you listen!!!

I love reading about the history of Israel and to think now they have actually found the city of David. What an amazing book. What an amazing history.

The truth of it all

Outstanding. I am a Christ follower. Jesus is a Jew while he walked with us on earth. Thank you for telling this story.

Everything!

Nothing to dislike. Great book. Well, I guess it could have on forever. Truth will win!

Roots confirmed

This Proves the heritage of the Jewish homeland, it is well written and presented by the author.

Fascinating and Inspiring

Brilliant performance and fascinating subject matter that pulled me in for hours at a time. In a world where people speak “my (their) truth,” the discovery and excavation of the City of David tells THE truth. The Jews are indigenous to Jerusalem and Doron Spielman and colleagues dug up the City of David to give us the receipts. His performance was captivating, clear, and well paced. Pretty impressive for a nice Jewish boy from West Bloomfield, Michigan. I traveled to Israel in my younger years and I felt a flicker of connection to the land. Now, after listening to this book I feel, in my kishkas, that those of us in the diaspora are truly in exile from our homeland. I know that the next time I land in Eretz Yisrael it will feel like a homecoming. This audiobook will inspire you.

Fascinating, interesting and empowering

I loved this book! The story was compelling, I learned so much and it changed my long held beliefs about the Bible. It shed light on the cause of antisemitism and antizionism and left me with even more admiration for Israel, Israelis and the diaspora.
I loved that the author read the book. He was articulate and emotional in all of the right places. It was captivating.

Every human should read this book!
