==Tomb and inscription== {{main|Royal Steward inscription}} A royal steward's [[Rock-cut tombs in ancient Israel|rock-cut tomb]] discovered in [[Silwan]] is conjectured to be Shebna's,<ref>[http://www.jewishmag.com/47mag/jerusalemtombs/jerusalemtombs.htm Jewish Magazine - Jerusalem Tombs]</ref> although only the term "-yahu" remains legible on the lintel from the tomb that is now kept in the [[British Museum]].<ref name="Brit">[https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=369626&partId=1&place=7573&plaA=7573-3-1&page=1 British Museum Collection]</ref> The partially preserved inscription was deciphered to read "...yahu who is over the house".<ref name="Brit"/> The assumption is that Shebna's name may have been pronounced 'Shebna-yahu', the missing name fitting onto the damaged portion of the inscription.<ref name=Rahmani2>"Ancient Jerusalem's Funerary Customs and Tombs: Part Two," L. Y. Rahmani, ''The Biblical Archaeologist'', Vol. 44, No. 4 (Autumn, 1981), pp. 229β235.</ref>
