Elisha Ostraca: Discovered in 2013 AD at Tel Rehov (Biblical Abel-meholah), the ostraca with the name of Elisha written in ancient Paleo-Hebrew is a stunning confirmation of the Bible. A honey bee factory (apiary) was also discovered with man-made ceramic cylinder bee hives. Excavations at Tel Rehov: Elisha ostraca was found in 2013 AD

Founded as a Negev border fortress by Solomon, it was occupied by the pagan Jews from the corrupt northern tribes whose capital was Samaria. Notice that they are Jews worshipping YHWH, but then say that YHWH has a wife! (Consort or Asherah).
OLDEST BIBLE TEXT ON EARTH: Most striking is that this pagan inscription contains the oldest quotation of the Bible on earth from Numbers 6:24-26 “may the Lord bless and keep you”. Although the text is in Phoenician, it predates the famous silver scroll by 140 years! (See details about the Silver Scroll from Ketef Hinnom)
