The Australian reports the British Museum has announced the discovery of a clay cuneiform tablet that offers “proof of the accuracy of the Old Testament.”

It is rare evidence in a non-biblical source of a real person, other than kings, featured in the Bible.

The tablet names a Babylonian officer called Nebo-Sarsekim who, according to Jeremiah 39 was present in 587 BC when Nebuchadnezzar “marched against Jerusalem with his whole army and laid siege to it”.

Very exciting.
