The power of biblical archaeology is it corroborates the historicity of the Bible down to its tiniest details.
Cameo figures from thousands of years ago come “back to life” through artifacts out of the ground.
Excavations in a Babylonian temple produced a small cuneiform tablet, quite mundane, that refers to a small gold offering made by the chief eunuch Nebo-Sarkesim in the 10th year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign.
Who is this Nebo-Sarkesim? Not a figure of any importance in Jewish history. But he is mentioned in the Bible.
Jeremiah 39:3 states, “All the officials of the king of Babylon came and took seats at the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezar of Samgar, Nebo-Sarkesim a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezar a high official, and all the other officials of the king of Babylon.”
Jeremiah names the Babylonian officials who were present at the capture and subsequent burning of Jerusalem.
And there he is: Nebo-Sarkesim.
Once again a minor character jumps out of the Bible and into the pages of history via the pathway of archaeology.

The Bible speaks of the reforms of King Josiah, one of the righteous kings of the Bible.
In that context, 2 Kings 23:11 says the king “removed the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entry of the house of the Lord, by the hall of Nathan-melech.”
This is the sole reference to Nathan-melech in Scripture. A biblical “extra.”
In 2018 several seal impressions (called bullae) were found in excavations near the royal quarter in Jerusalem.
One bulla is stamped as belonging to “Nathan-melech, servant of the king.”
Same name. Ssme location. Same time period.
It’s the same guy!
This is one of several seals that confirm the historicity of various figures, large and small, in the Bible.
