Ancient Inscription from the Time of King David Uncovered in Israel

(i24 News) A rare inscription from the time of King David was discovered at Khirbet Qeiyafa in the Valley of Elah, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced Tuesday. A restored ceramic jar about 3,000 years old was found incised with the inscription: "Eshba'al Ben (son of) Bada." According to Prof. Yosef Garfinkel of the Hebrew University and Saar Ganor of the IAA, "Until about five years ago we knew of no inscriptions dating to the tenth century BCE from the Kingdom of Judah. In recent years four inscriptions have been published: two from Khirbet Qeiyafa, one from Jerusalem and one from Bet Shemesh."
