The Tel Dan inscription is one of the most important and controversial inscriptions found in Israel in the 20th century. It contains a possible mention of the name "David" and is thought by many scholars to verify the existence of this king. This book reviews all of the major theories about the inscription, and contains a full account of the discovery, epigraphic analysis, palaeographical analysis, possible arrangement of the three fragments discovered, textual analysis and historical commentary.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'the reader may learn something from this book'
(Richard S Hess Catholic Biblical Quarterly )"The author moves carefully through each line of the inscription, painstakingly interpreting the Hebrew and comparing it with what is found on other fragments. The charts, tables, graphs, and drawings are quite detailed, and the bibliography at the end of the book demonstrates the scholarly nature of the study. This book is meant for those who know quite a bit about archaeology." -- Dianne Bergant, The Bible Today, May / June 2007 (The Bible Today )
