As always I urge you not believe a word that is written in this
thread but rather be a good Berean and find out for yourself in
Acts 17:11......For GOD in Pro 25:2..(KJV).."It is the glory of
God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out
a matter."

Was the Bible right? Inscription may confirm ancient Israel’s
borders
Abel Beth-Maacah is mentioned in the Bible several times.

How far north did the biblical kingdom of Israel extend?
A newly-discovered Hebrew-language inscription might confirm
that the border of ancient Israel reached areas that some
archaeologists were previously skeptical about, thus confirming
the Bible’s account.

The inscription was discovered at the site of Abel Beth-Maacah,
archaeologists Dr. Naama Yahalom-Mack and Dr. Nava Panitz-Cohen
from the Institute of Archaeology at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem told The Jerusalem Post.
Abel Beth-Maacah is mentioned in the Bible several times.
“Ben-hadad responded to King Asa’s request; he sent his army
commanders against the towns of Israel and captured Ljon, Dan,
Abel-Beth-Maacah and all Chinneroth, as well as all the land of
Naphtali,” reads the first reference in I Kings 15:20
(translation by Sefaria.org).
Later, in II Kings 15:29, the city is listed among those
conquered by the king of Assyria.
As explained by the researchers, the prominent tell was
discovered in the 19th century and identified with the city
mentioned in the Bible because of its location and the
resemblance between the name of the Arab village Abil al-Qameh
that was located on top of it and the ancient biblical name. It
is located on the border with Lebanon, not far from the border
with Syria.

“It is a very large and prominent site, and before we started
our project eight years ago it had never been excavated,
possibly because of its border location,” Panitz-Cohen told the
Post.
The archaeologists pointed out that 3,000 years ago the city was
also at the crossroad between different political entities,
namely the Kingdom of Israel, the Aramean kingdom and the
Phoenicians, who were not part of a unified state but lived in
several independent cities along the northern coast.
Although Abel Beth-Maacah has yielded several important
discoveries over the years, including a unique piece of artwork
shaped like the finely-chiseled head of a bearded male – as well
as figurines, seals and jars – no finding so far has allowed the
archaeologists to understand the city’s political affiliation in
the Iron Age.
“The question archaeologists ask is to whom they paid their
taxes. This though doesn’t necessarily change the culture, the
cults, pottery and the cuisine of the city. Maybe it means that
the Israelites, the Arameans and the Phoenicians at that time,
10th and 9th centuries BC[E], shared many cultural traits,”
Panitz-Cohen said.
At the very end of the excavation period last summer, the team,
led by the two archaeologists from Hebrew University and Prof.
Robert Mullins from Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles,
found five crushed jars in an Iron Age building.
Only much later, when Antiquities Authority restorer Adrienne
Ganur was working on them, did she realize one of the jars
featured an ink inscription, quite rare for that time. After
further studies, Prof. Christopher Rollston from George
Washington University in Washington said that the inscription
included the word Lebenayau, or “belonging to Benayau,” a name
formed by the root Bana – which in Hebrew and many Semitic
languages refers to the concept of building – and the theophoric
ending “yahu” – referring to YHWH, the God of the Israelites.
Yahalom-Mack and Panitz-Cohen explained that more work is needed
in order to prove that Abel Beth-Maacah was part of the Kingdom
of Israel. The jar could have been brought from afar and the
name written on at a later stage, or the city might have been
home to people having different cultural and ethnic identities.
Some answers will come from further research on the artifact,
which is underway. For example, testing the source of the clay
from which the jar was made.
A crucial question about the inscription is also related to its
dating: The archaeologists think that it likely dates back to
the second half of the 9th century BCE, or the beginning of the
8th at the latest. If this proved to be true, the inscription
would be one of the earliest examples of this type of northern
theophoric ending.
Other mysteries surround Abel Beth-Maacah.
For example, the fact that they “have identified cultic
activities, some of them unique, that differ from archaeological
expressions of religious activities at contemporary sites,”
Yahalom-Mack pointed out. Or that so far, the site does not
present any sign of the late 8th century BCE destruction brought
by the Assyrian conquest, which is mentioned in the Bible and
has emerged at other sites in the area.
Answers to these issues might be found this summer when the team
is returning for another excavation season.
“This coming summer, we are going to be excavating again for
another month, focusing on the area and the building where we
found the jars, among other intriguing Iron Age contexts,”
Yahalom-Mack concluded. “If it turned out to be a destroyed
building, it will be the first Iron Age II destruction we
encounter.”
