Karl,

I refer you to my book on the Tel Dan Inscription for a detailed argument that בית דוד is the Aramaic equivalent of "City of David".

As for your other claim about the dating of Ugarit and the wholesale reconfiguration of the entire ANE chronology, I guessed I'm enslaved to evidence and orthodoxy because I need a job. But I'll stick with the evidence.
