This is Ken Ham, author, speaker, and blogger on why we can trust the Bible.

Transcript

When it comes to God’s Word, it’s accurate in everything it says—even in the details! Here’s an example.

There’s a man who only appears in one verse in the whole Bible—an Assyrian king named Sargon, whose commander captured the city of Ashdod.

Now, for a long time, Sargon wasn’t found anywhere else, so many people assumed the Bible was wrong. But: no one thinks that anymore! Why? Well, because an enormous palace of two hundred rooms was discovered and it belonged to Sargon! In fact, the very battle the Bible mentions has been preserved in Assyrian records.

We shouldn’t accept the doubts of archaeologists over the truth in the Bible!
