A new study in the Jerusalem Journal of Archaeology presents a standing stone that was concealed at Tel ‘Eton as evidence of Hezekiah’s reforms. Excavators at Tel ‘Eton identified a standing stone that had likely stood as part of a platform in the innermost room of an Israelite four-room house, visible from the entrance and courtyard. Sometime before the end of the eighth century BC, the standing stone was laid down and concealed and a stone platform was built around it. The author of the study, Bar-Ilan University professor Avraham Faust, suggests that this might be connected with Hezekiah’s reforms, as described in 2 Kings 18:4: “He removed the high places and broke the pillars and cut down the Asherah” (ESV).
