Israeli archaeologists have unearthed a seal impression belonging to a minister of the biblical King Zedekiah, which dates back 2,600 years, during an archeological dig in Jerusalem's ancient City of David. The finding helps corroborate the story pertaining to the biblical minister's demand to have the prophet Jeremiah killed.

The seal impression, or bulla, with the name Gedalyahu ben Pashur, who served as minister to King Zedekiah (597-586 BCE) according to the Book of Jeremiah, was found completely intact just meters away from a separate seal impression of another of Zedekia's ministers, Yehukual ben Shelemyahu, which was unearthed three years ago.

Both ministers are mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 38 1-4) along with two other ministers when they came to King Zedekiah demanding the death of the prophet Jeremiah for preaching to the besieged city to surrender.

It has well been said that the veracity of Scripture becomes more and more with each turn of the archaeological spade.

I majored in medieval history in college. I really wish I'd stayed with history through grad school and would've loved to focus on Biblical history. It's fascinating! I get goosebumps thinking about the people who unearthed this - it's huge! Anything in tact from that timeframe is an enormous discovery! Thanks for sharing this.
