Translation of the Moabite StoneFrom Ancient Near East - Volume I - ANET
"I am Mesha, son of Chemosh, King of Moab the Dibonite my father had reigned over Moab thirty years. As for Omri, King of Israel, he humbled Moab many years, for Chemosh was angry at his land"
Omri and Mesha
The identifications of the biblical Mesha, king of Moab, and of the biblical Omri, king of the northern kingdom of Israel, in the Mesha stele are generally accepted by the scholarly community, especially because what is said about them in the narrative of the Mesha stele agrees well with the narrative in the biblical books of Kings and Chronicles.
Scriptures
2 Kings 3:4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
2 Kings 8:26 Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
