Praise Jesus! Perhaps it is the same place where Godly King David washed the 200 foreskins before they were presented to the wicked Saul! This is truly an exciting discovery.
1 Samuel 18:25-- And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 18:26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired. 18:27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

I am certain that King David's Bath's changing room was free from homers, unlike the Hellish heath clubs of today. You can blame our liberal judges for outlawing stoning in many cities.
Jesus - gentle, dependable overnight relief.

Not all Rachael; it is no coincidence that the modern, homer baths mock the ancient baths of the Kings of Isreal. That is just Satan's way.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

Well I thought it was exciting.
This bath would have provided King David with the perfect place to relax and unwind after killing sinners and infidels all day. To think David and maybe even Jonathan might have bathed here is nothing short of incredible.
I wonder if he wrote any of the Psalms while he was there.

Nope. Sorry guys. The ancient baths were all very much alike:
sexually segregated. There was no soap either.
Do you wishful thinkers even know how the bathing was done?
Do you know how... ask me or look it up.
I failed Latin 1 for good reason. I could not get past the abysmally homerish Roman bath (Romans copied the Greeks, and all the others copied the early Greeks, in all ways, sorry, true.. No, it first came from the Persians, I think.)
When you put olive oil on a salad, understand that until just a century ago,
olive oil was called "sweet oil". It really was. And do you know why?
This stuff is not in the Bible. I wish it were. Then you'd wish soap had been invented in King David's time.

Of course there was no soap in a public bath!
How homer is that! lahtering up and all that stuff! It makes me quesy to think about. People dropping the soap. God, help me. I won't be able to eat for a week.
Matthew:
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

How about for a month?
Brother, imagine you are back in that time.
It's hot, dry, dusty in the town. You smell like urine,
in part because the dust is of the street, and this is where all creatures piss.
The bath--it's really popular. If you are a greek or roman, you probably try to bathe every day. The baths are public institutions, and segregated for the sexes.
The attendants are always same-sex as you.
OK, ready? Go ahead and hop in for a soak while some young man prepares for what comes next.
scary stuff!

The direction of this thread is vigorously arousing my curiosity, whilst simultaneously raising my hackles.
I sense that something sinful this way comes.

Nothing that'd compare with some "witnessing" I've heard about.
After your soak in a communal pond, probably under roof,
you get slathered in oil by a servant of the bath, or by your mate,
(you might do the same for him, your buddy, I mean).
The oil used was oive oil. It was termed sweet oil for the fact that it has no bad taste, perhaps, or for the fact that it kept well for a long time; did not go rancid as do animal fats.
The oil emulsifies body soil. Soap, by the way, does the same thing, being oil based. Soap is oil rendered water soluble; so soap is quickly water rinsed.
Oil cleans skin very well though (handy fact to know, eh?)
After your mate or slave oils you, you'd be massaged and rubbed all over.
Next comes the strigil This was a curved, dull edge, usually copper knife.
I'll look for a photo of one. The scraping of the flesh removed the oil, dirt and dead skin. I presume it left a fellow feeling
By Roman times, they'd heard of soap, but rejected soap as being effete.
So nothing really changes, eh? Here's the real deal, at least about the (relatively sinful) Roman system.

A favorite dish of the Greeks

You are indeed perceptive, Brother.
Quiz: Do you call it a "washcloth" or use the Vulgar terminology, "washrag"?
Little things can mean a lot, particularly when we get so many Nosey Parkers on this Godly message board

Calling Kind David a Homo is pretty awful in my opinion. You all realize that Jesus was related to David so when you insult David, your insulting a direct ancestor of our Holy Saviour. Uncool as the kids say.
As the worlds greatest king, David would have enjoyed a private, non queer bath and even if he decided to bath in a public bath house, he would have cleared it out first. David was as straight as Fred Phelps and you can put that in the bank.
I still believe this to be good news and further proof of the Bibles being more historically accurate than demonized archeology like fossil hunting and the Homerish "Geology" or rock worshipping science.

Being a joo, I doubt that Kind David washed to excess; he predated the decadence of rome.
Still, his bath must have been formal, and being a Righteous King,
his attendants would not have been virtual harlots, right? I mean,
at least they would not be females.
A man getting his nubs rubbed is not apt to have that done by a female in that era, not
unless it were OK to get arroused.
Hence, special nutless men may have been first choice for the task. I don't know though.
Perhaps he was bathed by conquered, circum-
spect greek slaves; young men with silken olive skin, lean flesh, of athletic prowess...
jet-ringleted hair, green eyes prized...or blue..or perhaps brown, and long...pensive
eyelashes, murmuring supplications in deferential tones.
Nothing sexual about it at all. It was customary, and surely an honor,
for such conquests to scrape naked before the king.
_________________
Am looking for an image of an authentic Greek slave youth--can find no pictures of originals.
here is the closest---a genuine modern Greek.
Nothing has time changed but for the (optional) clothing.
Just strip the garb, and give him a strigil and a pot of sweet oil,
and there it is: history in vivo as known righteously by King David.
