 An Alternative Interpretation of the Stone Tablet with Ancient Hebre Inscription Attributed to Jehoash King of Judah by ...
The radiocarbon dates that postdate the destruction of the Temple by the Babylonians (namely 586 BCE) by about 200-400 years are connected in their opinion with the fire that destroyed Jerusalem and the temple, with the addition of younger carbon from later strata.
The temple was burned at 586 BCE, but it was built at the 10th century BCE and perhaps restored at the 9th, so an average date of 300 BCE is much too late.

 Recent Archaeological Discoveries at Hazor
Hazor was the largest city in the southern Levant for much of the 2nd millennium BCE and closely associated with the large and powerful Bronze Age city-states in Syria.

The recent excavations at Hazor have shown definitively, however, that the six-chambered gate and casemate wall were built in the mid-10th century BCE, along with a large public building connected to the earliest phase of the casemate wall by a paved street.
