Description
Chronology of the ancient Near East is a constantly recurring problem scholars have been successfully able to resolve concerning various historical periods. The period of the Divided Monarchy, specifically as it relates to the reign of King Hezekiah, has traditionally been attributed with the inception and exclusive-use of lmlk jar handles. The term "lmlk," as translated from ancient Hebrew, means "to the king," "for the king," or "belonging to the king." In his lecture, Vaughn presents the arguments against attribution of lmlk storage jars to the period of King Hezekiah's reign, and explores the implications, assumptions, and evidences for claims contrary to this chronological placement.
