Note there are dot word breaks between words and there is no dot between byt and dwd indicating it is one word.

Note the insertion of the word [power] to match the ful. That is not reasonable.

But this line is a masterpeice of forcing it to be biblical.

7. . riots and two thousand horsemen. [I killed Jo]ram son of [Ahab]
First there is no bible king named either ram or the added JOram. Both the "I killed" and "Ahab" can only have come from the bible as it is not in the inscription.

It starts with a roughly dated inscription and then finds something similar in the Old Testament to creatively fill in the blanks. The technical term for this methods is bullshit.
