An inscribed stone found among the ruins of Dibon, in 1868, and unfortunately broken by the natives, owing to the mismanagement of the Europeans, who wished to get possession of it. Almost the whole of the inscription has been recovered from the broken pieces. The stone was set up by Mesha, King of Moab, who rebelled against Jehoram (2 Kings iii. 4, 5), about B.C. 890.
