The Moabite Stone

by William Henry Bennett

The Moabite Stone (or Mesha Stele) was discovered in 1868 in what is now Dhiban, Jordan. Its inscription sheds light on the Moabite perspective of 2 Kings 3: 4-8. This introduction by William Henry Bennett (1855-1920) gives a readable history of the stone and a literal translation. It also includes details on the Siloam Inscription and the Gezer Calendar in the brief appendices. This is a facsimile reprint of the 1911 edition.
