Tel Dan Stela

On this fragmentary stela, written in Aramaic in the late ninth century BCE and found at the city of Dan in northern Israel, an Aramaean king, perhaps Hazael of Damascus, records his defeat of two Israelite kings, possibly Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, and also Ahaziah, son of Joram of the House of David, king of Judah. Many of the restorations, though based on similar texts, are uncertain.
