jan 1, 840 BC - Earliest definite non-biblical reference to Yahweh

The Moabite Stone/Mesha Stele mentions the 'vessels of Yahweh' (line 18) being taken by the Moabite King Mesha following a revolt against Israel.
The events are thought to align (with some differences) to those described in 2 Kings 3
