The first known Bodashtart inscription currently in the Louvre museum.
... that king Bodashtart of
Sidon left more than thirty dedicatory inscriptions (sample pictured) at the
Temple of Eshmun site? Source: Elayi, Josette (2006). "An updated chronology of the reigns of phoenician kings during the Persian period (539-333 BCE)" (PDF). Digitorient. Collège de France - UMR7912 : Proche-Orient—Caucase : langues, archéologie, cultures – via Digitorient. p.5

Recent expansion that's long enough to satisfy criteria. Hook source checks out. Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows a clean slate. QPQ done. There is a referencing error in big red lettering at the bottom of the page that you might want to attend to. Whilst you are at it, I suggest that you have a look at the
shortened footnote template as that would be much better than the handcrafted refs that you've got (not a DYK show stopper; just a suggestion). Given that this is a bio, I have to say that I don't get much of an impression who this person was, and what the family relations are. When I read the Russian version of the article via
Google Translate, I get a much clearer picture. That said, your article implies that Eshmunazar II was Bodashtart's father (or father-in-law), whilst the Russian bio says that he was his cousin. Could you please look into that? The Russian source #4 is in English and seems to deal with the matter; you've listed that as

"A second set of inscriptions (KAI 16) were placed on restoration ashlar stones; these stones mention Yatonmilk and" might say "A second set of inscriptions (KAI 16) were placed on restoration ashlar stones; these stones mention Bodashtart and his son Yatonmilk and..." (at least I assume that KAI 16 also mentions Bodashtart since its implied strongly by the preceeding information) you're right; I took this passage lightly.

Geneaology:
"Bodashtart hails from Eshmunazar I's dynasty" this is a bit unencylopedic in tone ... maybe "Bodashtart was a member of Eshmunazar I's dynasty" done.

I'm taking the non-English sources on faith, I have no way to evaluate their reliablity. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have in this regard.

I randomly googled three phrases and only turned up Wikipedia mirrors.
Earwig's tool shows no sign of copyright violation.
I did do some copyediting, please make sure I didn't change any sourced text beyond what the sources will support or that I haven't broken anything.
I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
