The Mesha Stele (popularised in the 19th century as the Moabite Stone) is a black basalt stone carrying an inscription by the 9th-century-BCE Moabite king, Mesha, and was discovered in August 1868, in Jordan.
The inscription supplements and corroborates the history of King Mesha recorded in 2 Kings 3:4-27. It contains the earliest mention of Yahweh, God of the Israelites, outside The Bible.
