The Bible’s 2 Kings 14 names Jeroboam as the son of Jehoash, king of Israel.
The scripture reads: “Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
“And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.”
Professor Goren has since handed the seal over to the Israel Antiquities Authority to be interred at the Israel Museum.
And although rare, archaeologists have been discovering similar seals and artefacts linked to prominent figures in the Bible.
