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.

[@Calatriste54]

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

[@purplestareye]

They want to DISPROVE Israel's history & claim to the land.

[@IsraeliteUry]

Daud was a man after ALahym’s own heart. That is His true title. ALauh at times. As well as ÂL.

[@nealcorbett1149]

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

[@markbaz]

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!

[@mikehenson819]

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 “.

[@IsraeliteUry]

Anti-Yashar’AL. The world doesn’t have an issue with the land of israel. They have an issue with ancient Yashar’AL & its people.

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.

Thanks so much, both of you!

[@ie1961]

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.

[@bosse641]

Awesome.

[@yibaibashimu6223]

I have my own suspicions but, I'm wondering WHY they don't want the inscription to read "David"?

[@j.f.h.holybible6492]

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.

[@bosse641]

@@j.f.h.holybible6492 ....yes, King David was a foreshadowing of the One that would come, the promised Messiah/Christ.

[@TGWazoo1]

Remain suspicious. It’s safe. The fraud in artifacts regarding this are numerous.

[@purplestareye]

I think it's so there is no fueling Israel's claim to the land is the reason.

Thank you for this podcast and information. I was lucky to see it in Paris at the Louvre 2 months ago.

[@borneandayak6725]

It is dissapointing to know, in the past archeologist broke the stele, so they can get a part of the inscription.

[@funhistory]

It was broken by greedy, ignorant natives. Archeologists actually rescued the fragments.

[@j.f.h.holybible6492]

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

[@fensterheim]

Where's the Yod?

[@christophereames1689]

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.

[@IsraeliteUry]

There was no yad. Hay, bat-thau. Dalat-uau-dalat. “Ha’Bath Daud”. The House of Daud. His name is Daud. Or really, Malak Daud (King Daud). Seek the most ancient paleo-hebrew. Not the modern.

[@IsraeliteUry]

His name was Daud. Not david. I can read ancient paleo-hebrew characters. It’s actually called Abryth. Or Lashun Rashyth. The man is explaining using modern functions & a perverse “hebrew”. Hay, which is the letter H-A at the beginning of a word, & turns into A-H in the middle or at the end of a word, means “the”. The letter that looks like a “G” is actually a B. It’s called a Bat/Bath. The “X” is the thau. Which makes it T-H. The triangles are both the letter Dalat or “D”. The Y is actually a “U”. Pronounced ooo. It’s not a waw or vav. Those letters didn’t exist until centuries later. The letter is called uau. The letters put together are pronounced with an “a” in between certain letters. We have Ha’Bath Daud, which means “the House of Daud”. I assure you my words are true. If you want to learn ancient Abryth, “Natsarym of YaHUaH” can assist for free. They have lessons on their channel.

[@AdamMeaney-zs6zw]

Can daud be somehow related to david, perhaps a slang pronunciation, or some connection? I'm no expert, jus asking! It's not david and gerald, but david and daud! Possible?

[@jeanneamato8278]

Thank you.

[@funhistory]

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.

[@dmaxwell167]

Excellent

[@dand3953]

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).

[@steveellis7174]

Sounds like you're actually engaging in wishful thinking.

[@purplestareye]

To different types of archeologists...those whom are looking for & display truth & those whom by wishful thinking that gets disappointed that they been proven wrong & then distort or hide or twist the facts to fit their own desires!

[@tonycoker6523]

Wrong man has changed the dates on history so that is where the errors occur.

[@michellejohnsen912]

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)
