This article is dedicated to the memory of Professor Benjamin Mazar, our mentor, supporter and teacher. We cherish his memory and will always be grateful for his profound interest in our archaeological work at ‘En Hatzeva and in the Negev. His endeavors on behalf of Biblical archaeology have been and will continue to be an inspiration to generations of archaeologists.
