biblical finds: the clay seal of Ahaz

biblical finds: the clay seal of Ahaz by ric Gustafson


Ahaz was the son of Jotham. Jotham was the king of Judah. Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king according to II Kings 16: 1-2. Ahaz was king in Jerusalem for sixteen years. He was king of the southern tribes from 732 to 716 BC.  Robert Deutsch confirmed the finding of the seal in the southern part of the West Bank. The seal reads ' belonging to Ahaz son of Yotam King of Judah'.
