Ruins at Khirbet Qeiyafa: Proposed site of She'arayim

Shaaraim (Hebrew: שַׁעֲרַיִם, romanized: Šaʿărayim), possibly meaning Two Gates, is an Israelite city mentioned several times in the Hebrew Bible. Some have identified it with Khirbet Qeiyafa, an archaeological site on a hilltop overlooking the Valley of Elah in the Judean Mountains.[1]
