Mesha Stele: The Second 'House of David' Inscription
In 1993, the biblical archaeology world was rocked with the discovery of the Tel Dan inscription, which mentions the 'house of David' - proving that King David existed and that he was the start of a ruling dynasty of kings. However, a year prior, a new reading of the Mesha stele discovered a century earlier claimed to find the same phrase, “House of David.” This second "House of David' inscription was far more difficult to decipher, leading many to dismiss that it mentioned anything about the famed king from Jerusalem.
Now, with the help of modern technology, Prof. Michael Langlois and colleagues have been able to present evidence confirming the “House of David” reading. On today’s program, Prof Langlois joins host Brent Nagtegaal to discuss the Mesha Stele along with current scholarship’s unscientific reluctance to accept the historicity of King David.

What a wonderfully insightful professor. I appreciate his objectivity and JOY when discussing Biblical scholarship!🇨🇦😊🇮🇱
The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. Захария 12:7 / Thank You good work!
Outstanding! This is such an incredible find, and I can tell that professor is elated as am I also. The stones really do speak!!!
Proverbs 25_2 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. Thank you Both God Bless Shalom

Because David "was a man after GOD's own heart".. The Devil wants that fact to be erased from History.

The rampant anti Israel bias in archaeology is truly disgraceful. Such quacademics bring the entire field into disrepute.

Anything dealing in Isreal is constantly meet with bias. Always has been and always will. Our God has already told us that. If God chooses something the devil is right there to try and destroy it. Good Bless Israel and his children, everywhere!

It’s typical of those who think they’re too intelligent to give credibility to the truth of the Bible, and they refer to their bias as “ science “.
I don't think we should be talking about a consensus. Otherwise - the stele is well worth reading in full, as it offers numerous and rare insights into the era from a non-Israelite point of view.
I have my own suspicions but, I'm wondering WHY they don't want the inscription to read "David"?

Next to Christ, David is the second person in Scripture re the amount of text recording their life. A great deal of David's life and writings prophetically point to Christ and the New Covenant.

Thank You. All of this controversy. God knows how to generate serious discussion. Otherwise we would just take things for granted and eventually lose interest.

Stone of stumbling to those that oppose the Truth.

His description of a squeeze at 11:12 sounds incorrect. Maybe it's a language problem, but he says a thin sheet of "plaster" when it was actually a sheet of wet paper.
28 minutes before we get to see a picture of the inscription for 10 seconds.
Awesome.
Proof of The Truth isnt found in pointless arguments over history, the Truth is, what the world needs to know Jesus the Christ rose from the dead 💥 PREACH LIFE, PREACH CHRIST

Where's the Yod?

Good question ... the Mesha Stele seems to use the term for house a number of times without the yod, simply as בת rather than בית.

But this thing isn't temporal to the thing it's supposed to be documenting.
It is dissapointing to know, in the past archeologist broke the stele, so they can get a part of the inscription.

The archeologist didn't break it. The bedouins broke it because there wasn't one owner they all wanted a piece to sell.

There are two different timelines you are trying to mesh together here, Biblical History and HISTORY. As has been discovered many times before, the two are clearly not the same. Biblical History is a tale of wishful thinking trying to become HISTORICAL fact(s).

Here's a historical fact that you seem to be blind to : the calendar literally changed when Jesus Christ came to earth! Before Christ and After Christ. Yet you claim that the Bible isn't factual? By the way history =His story ( it's all about Jesus. Reality and everything that exists is held together by God)
