| Résumé: | The first fragment of the Tel Dan stela, discovered in 1993, caught the attention of the public particularly for its mention of the "house of David," providing a stratified index of the historicity of that figure, and of the early monarchy. The editio princeps placed the inscription early in the ninth century B. C. E., relating it to the invasion of Ben-Hadad I. Reconsideration of the stela suggests, however, that it belongs to the end of the ninth century, when Aramean ascendance over Israel was on the verge of being broken. The language of the stela also indicates that the Aramaic of Damascus in this era had close connections with Hebrew and Moabite. |
