Archaeology has confirmed many passages of scriptures that have been
doubted in the past.
Archeology and Scripture
When due allowance has been paid to the increasing number of supposed errors which have been subsequently eliminated by the discovery of archaeological evidence, to the many aspects of history indirectly affirmed or in some instances directly confirmed by extra-biblical sources, I would still maintain that the historical facts of the Bible, rightly understood, find agreement in the facts culled from archaeology, equally rightly understood, that is, majority of errors can be ascribed to errors of interpretation by modern scholars and not to substantiated errors of fact presented by the biblical historians. This view is further strengthened when it is remembered how many theories and interpretations of Scripture have been checked or corrected by archaeological discoveries.-D.J. Wiseman
As I have dealt with one apparent discrepancy after another and have studied the alleged contradictions between the biblical record and the evidence of linguistics, archaeology, or science, my confidence in the trustworthiness of Scripture has been repeatedly verified and strengthened -Dr. Gleason Archer
This is the first time that the name of David has been found in any ancient inscription outside the Bible. That the inscription refers not simply to a David but to the House of David, the dynasty of the great Israelite king, is even more remarkable. this may be the oldest extra-biblical reference to Israel in Semitic script -Avaraham Biram

Now, however, it is no longer possible to reject the substantial historicity of the Bible, at least as far back as the time of Abraham, because of the remarkable discoveries of archaeology. -Henry Morris
