Yeah, this guy failed to see that even the archeologist himself cited in the article was ridiculing the tabloid article that said he discovered David from Bible.
Also to be honest I don't get why Religious people get so worked up which historians think Jesus was based on real person and which not because there is a very small difference. Even those historians that think there was some historical Jesus see that person as perhaps 1% to 5% of what was said in the New Testament he did and said, so it's not like so called "historical Jesus" is any more real to the one they believe existed.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
