Dhiban: Mesha Stele

The Mesha Stele, also known as the Moabite Stone, is an inscription that was written by Mesha, the king of Moab, in the 9th century BCE. In it he writes that he defeated Omri, the king of Israel. It is the earliest known inscriptional evidence of the name of the Israelite god (YHWH) and the most extensive description of Israel.
