Book Description
Mesha was ruler of the small kingdom of Moab, east of the Dead Sea, in the mid 9th century BC. Everything we know about Mesha from the Bible is recorded in 2 Kings 3. But we know a lot more about him from a record he left us, referred to as the Mesha inscription, or Moabite Stone. It was discovered in Dhiban, Jordan, in 1868 be a French Anglican medical missionary be the name of F.A. Klein. The essays in this book discuss the inscription and the insights it provides into Mesha's life and the Iron Age Kingdom of Moab.
