The Clay Tablet That Held a King's Only Proof of Existence
This episode explores the story of Jeconiah, a king of Judah whose only physical record of existence is found on a Babylonian administrative clay tablet. We delve into the circumstances that led to this unusual historical footprint and the enduring legacy of a man reduced to a ration.
Person: Jeconiah
Location: Pergamum Museum, Berlin
Artifact: Babylonian administrative clay tablet
Date: Circa 592 BCE
- The clay tablet, discovered near Babylon's Ishtar Gate, is a hand-sized administrative record of oil allocations.
- German Assyriologist Ernst Weidner identified the name Ia-ku-u-ki-nu on the tablet in the 1930s.
- Jeconiah inherited the throne of Judah in 598 BCE, a kingdom caught between the rising power of Babylon and a declining Egypt.
- His father, Jehoiakim, had revolted against Babylon, leading to Nebuchadnezzar II's campaign against Judah.
- Jeconiah surrendered Jerusalem in 597 BCE, and was exiled to Babylon with his mother, household, and thousands of skilled people.
