Overview

The Tel Dan Stele is most famous for its mention of the "House of David," considered by many to be the earliest extra-Biblical reference to the Davidic dynasty yet discovered.  The Aramaic inscription describes the triumph of Aram over a king of Israel and king of Yehuda and is believed to speak of Chazael's war against Yehoram and Achazyah, discussed briefly in Melakhim II 8.
