Experience the digital reconstruction of the Tel Dan Stele, a fragmentary basalt monument unearthed in northern Israel and dated to the 9th century BCE. Inscribed in ancient Aramaic, the stele records an Aramaean king's victory over Israel and Judah, boasting:
"I killed Jehoram son of Ahab, king of Israel, and I killed Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of the House of David."

This extraordinary inscription contains the earliest widely accepted mention of the “House of David” outside the Hebrew Bible, providing direct archaeological evidence for the existence of King David’s royal dynasty. The stele’s author—most likely Hazael, king of Aram-Damascus—describes the geopolitical rivalry with Israel and Judah, events echoed in the biblical narrative (see 2 Kings 8:28-29, 2 Chronicles 22:5-9).

The Tel Dan Stele’s reference to the “House of David” powerfully supports the Bible’s depiction of Judah’s monarchy and its role in shaping the region’s history. This victory monument also reminds us of the turbulent times described in the Books of Kings, where kings and kingdoms clashed in a struggle for survival and legacy.
