	Mesha Stele
		The Mesha Stele (popularized in the 19th century as the "Moabite Stone") is a fl basalt stone, bearing an inscription by the 9th century BC Moabite King Mesha, discovered in 1868.
		It was set up by Mesha, about 850 BC, as a record and memorial of his victories in his revolt against Israel, which he undertook after the death of his overlord, Ahab.
		This controversy stems partly from the fragmentary state of line 31 of the Mesha stele and partly from a tendency since the 1990s, largely among European scholars, to question or dismiss the historical reliability of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).

	Omri - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		He was significant enough that his name is mentioned on a stele erected by Mesha, king of Moab, who records his victory over a son of Omri -- but omits the son's name.
		Thomas Thompson (The Bible in History), however, interprets the Mesha stele as sugesting that Omri is an eponym, or legendary founder of the kingdom rather than an historical person.
		It was the first in a series of wars that would eventually lead to the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC and the reduction of the Kingdom of Judah to an Assyrian tributary state.

		Besides his warlike exploits, on his stele Mesha boasted of his construction of the ford in Wadi Mujib, probably the ford mentioned in the Bible as the "Arnon ford" (the Hebrew name for Wadi Mujib is "Nahal Arnon").

		The inscription is obviously part of a stele of an Aramean, erected at Dan, on which he is boasting of his military victory over Israel, to which also the king of Judah is a party.
		The stele fragment that bears the inscription was used in a wall that was destroyed by Tiglath-Pilesar III in -732/-731.
		This suggests that the stele was broken up around that time, so that it would have been erected sometime during the first half of the ninth century B.C. It could have stood at least some time before being destroyed and used secondarily in the wall.

		A relationship of some sort is evident between II Kings 3 and the Mesha Stele, since both refer to an Israelite domination over Moab that was thrown off during the reign of Omri's son or grandson.
		Mesha does record that Kemosh "drove him [the king of Israel] away before my face", but he does not elaborate; it may be no more than a religious interpretation of a standard military victory.
		Mesha may have had prophets devoted to Kemosh, as there seem to be prophets for Baal and other non-Israelite deities, though he does not say so in his stele.
