The seal impression of Hezekiah
A named king of Judah, sealing documents in Jerusalem — recovered from stratified excavation rather than bought on the market.
Nabanggit sa labas ng BibliyaBagayc. 727–698 BC
A clay bulla — the lump of clay that sealed a rolled document — stamped with a royal seal reading "Belonging to Hezekiah, (son of) Ahaz, king of Judah". Unlike most inscribed bullae of biblical figures, this one came out of a controlled excavation rather than the antiquities market.
Belonging to Hezekiah, (son of) Ahaz, king of Judah.
