Zusammenfassung:This article is a plea for an integrated interdisciplinary approach to the study of the history of ancient Israel. It is suggested that the testimony of each of the disciplines involved must be investigated according to its particular method, bearing in mind the other fields of research. This is to criticize the approach of researchers who impart decisive weight to archaeological data and resort to random support of the literary sources based on a hypothetical reconstruction of Israel's ancient history.
