- Tell es-Safi Potsherd (10th to mid 9th centuries BC) – Potsherd inscribed with the two names "alwt" and "wlt", etymologically related to the name Goliath and demonstrate that the name fits with the context of late-tenth/early-ninth-century BC Philistine culture. Found at Tell es-Safi, the traditional identification of Gath.

The identification of individuals named in bullae with equivalent names from the Bible is difficult, but identifications have been made with king Hezekiah[18] and his servants (????? avadim in Hebrew).
