King Jeroboam II of Israel
In this picture is an impression of a seal showing a figure of a roaring lion bearing the Hebrew inscription: (לשמע - עבד ירובם) meaning "Belonging to Shema, servant of Jeroboam". It refers to Jeroboam II, King of Israel who ruled from 786–746 BCE.
2 Kings 14:23“In the fifteenth year of King Amaziah son of Joash of Judah, King Jeroboam (II) son of Joash of Israel became king of Samaria – for forty-one years.”
The original jasper seal was found in the 1904 excavations at Megiddo. The seal itself was lost en route to the Istanbul Museum, but fortunately, this impression cast in bronze had been made prior to its shipment.
