City of David Inscription resin cast about 6 by 2 inches. This is a recreation of a 7th century BC pottery sherd excavated near the Gihon Spring in the City of David. The inscription says, [...]ariah the son of Benaiah. The best match for this name is the father of the prophet Jahaziel, Zechariah son of Benaiah mentioned in 2 Chronicles 20:124.
