     A Memorial Tablet on the  Repair of Jerusalem Temple in the Reign of King Joash
    (II Kings 12:4ff)


    [Translation]

          he saw him [

    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.
