Scripture: 2 Kings 3:4–27
2 Kings 3 describes Mesha, king of Moab, rebelling against Israel after the death of Ahab.
A basalt found in 1868 at Dhiban (biblical Dibon), Jordan. Mesha records Moab's oppression by 'Omri king of Israel' and his son, his own revolt, and mentions Yahweh. It was broken apart after discovery, but an earlier paper squeeze allowed reconstruction. It is now in the Louvre. André Lemaire proposed in 1994 that a damaged line reads 'House of David', a reading that remains debated.
