I Samuel 6:13-15 records, “Now the people of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they raised their eyes and saw the ark and were glad to see it. And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite and stood there where there was a large stone...and the Levite’s took down the ark of the Lord and the box that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone...”
This verse has taken on a new significance based upon a possible new discovery. Excavations have been happening at a site 20 miles west of Jerusalem, near Beit Shemesh, where a 3100 year old temple has been revealed. In this digging was also found a stone table, or slab, resting on two smaller rocks.
So, could this be the “large stone” on which the ark of the Covenant was placed? The excavators believe it could be.
