A
Memorial Tablet on the Repair of Jerusalem Temple in the Reign of
King Joash
(II Kings 12:4ff)
[Translation] Judah/he streched out(?) and I dealt with dam[age. And it shall be, that] as she was willingly filled, to make odious on earth and in desert and in all cities of Judah, to give/get the holy money abundantly to buy dressed stone and timber and copper of Edom to labor in work with sincerity. Then I dealt with the damage of the temple, the town around, the couch, your dwellings, the festival places(?), recess, and the gates. And it shall be this day to know, for you advanced the work. Jehovah(the Lord) will send the blessing to his people.
