The Mesha Stele: Evidence for the Moabite Rebellion of 2nd Kings 3:4-5

The Mesha Stele, also known as the Moabite Stone, (c. 9th century BC) found at Dibon (Dhiban), Jordan contains the Moabite account of their rebellion against the kingdom of Israel after the death of king Ahab of Israel in c. 853 BC. This stele supports the account of what is found recorded in 2nd Kings 3:4-5 and gives extra-biblical evidence for several important Old Testament individuals and places.
