The chronology of the kings era is composed of four sequential periods of
130 years!
Saul, David & Solomon 130 years
to death of Jehoiada (@ 130 yrs) 130 years
to fall of house of Israel 130 years
to fall of house of Judah 130 years
It spans a total of 520 years and provides the chronology of events between
the dates, 3100 to 2580 years before the Great Tribulation.
The kings period is presented under 3 headings:
1) Combined Kingdom
2) Divided Kingdom
3) Remaining Judean Kingdom
COMBINED KINGDOM
('BT' = 'Before Tribulation')

* NOTES *
- Saul reigned 40 years, Acts 13:21
- David reigned 40 years over all Israel, 2Sam 5:3-4.
- Solomon reigned 40 years, 1Kings 11:42 & 2Chr 9:30.
- The first year in which Saul reigned over Israel was the year
after he was coronated.
- 1Sam 13:1 Saul was a son of one year when he became king
and in the second year he reigned over Israel.
(This is a revised rendering. The counting of
these years started with the year in which Saul
was anointed, the year God 'called' Saul.)
(NB: A number of modern translations, eg NIV &
NASB, have unwisely started to alter the original
inspired text of 1Sam 13:1 by adding a presumed
age and length of reign.)
- David was crowned king over all the tribes of Israel in the year
after Saul died.
- In the year Saul died, David was crowned king over just the
tribe of Judah (2Sam 2:4), while Ishbosheth (Saul's son)
became king over the other tribes (2Sam 2:8-9).
Ishbosheth reign spanned only 2 years (2Sam 2:10) and it was
in the 2nd year of his reign that he was murdered and as a
consequence David was crowned king over all the tribes of
Israel (2Sam 5:3).
- David reigned 6 months over Judah before becoming king over all
Israel.
- David was king in Hebron over Judah seven years and six months,
2Sam 5:5, 2Sam 2:11 & 1Chr 3:4.
- David reigned in Hebron over all Israel seven years,
1Chr 29:26-27, & 1K 2:11.
- At the time David started to reign over all Israel he was 30 years
old, 2Sam 5:3-4.
- Solomon was crowned twice! Refer 1C29:22.
- 1st during the reign of David, 1K1:28-48.
- 2nd about the time of the death of David, 1C29:28,22-23.
- Solomon's temple - The first crowning of Solomon mentioned
in 1K1:28-53 was in response to Adonijah
(brother of Solomon) having himself crowned.
- The second crowning of Solomon is when David
passed the throne of God (the throne over
Israel) to Solomon, 1C29:23.
Note, this was also the time Solomon began
to build the foundation.
- Solomon began to build the temple foundation
in the month Ziv (the second month) of the
4th year after the first crowning of Solomon
in the 480th year after the Exodus. 1K6:1
- In the 4th year after the second crowning of
Solomon (1C29:22), in the month Ziv, the
foundation of the temple was 'laid',
ie completed. 1K6:37.
Note, this was also the time Solomon began
to build upon the foundation, 2C3:2.
(2C3:2 is commonly rendered the 2nd day of
the 2nd month (the word 'day' being added),
but it is probable the Hebrew text is actually
stating that it was the 2nd month of the 2nd
4th yr of his reign.)
- While Solomon was crowned a second time it
appears he may have been still too young to
reign unaided. 1 Chron 29:1 and 1Kings 3:7.
- David dies 'full of days' using Psalm 90:10
this could be taken to mean 80 years old.
At this time it appears Solomon was old
enough to reign independantly and his 40
years of reign began to be counted.
- In the 11th year of the reign of Solomon the
temple was completed. It had taken a further
7 years to build the house of God upon the
completed foundation. 1K6:37-38.
- In total it had taken Solomon 20 years to build
the house of God, 1K9:10, 2C8:1.
It took 13 years for Solomon to build the king's
house, 1K7:1.
(It appears Solomon started work on both houses
at the same time, fully completing the king's
house and the foundation of the house of God
after 13 years, in the following 7 years he
built the house of God.)

* NOTES *
- 's/k' = sole king
- Situations encountered - co-reigns
- new king too young
- major changes in dominion.
- Reign of Asa - In the 15th year of the dominion (not reign) of Asa
Judah enters into a covenant with God. 2C15:10
- War between Asa and Baasha all their days. 1K15:16,32
- 10 yrs peace in the time of Asa. 2C14:1
- War with Baasha started the 35th year of the dominion
(not reign) of Asa. 2Chr16:1.
- In the 36th year of the dominion (not reign) of Asa
Baasha came up against Judah and built Ramah. 2C16:1-3
- In the 39th year of the dominion (not reign) of Asa
he became diseased in his feet - 2C16:12.
- Hebrew for 'reign' is Strong's 4427
'dominion' is Strong's 4438.
- Jehoiada lives at least to the 23rd of Jehoash, 2K12:6, a son of 130 yrs
when he died, (ie he was a son of the Levitical priesthood under the
divided kingdom, he himself did not reach 130 years of age) 2C24:15.
- Amaziah dies 15 yrs after Joash 2C25:25 & 1K14:17.
- There is an implied jubilee occurrence during the rulership of Jotham.
Refer 2Chron 27:5. (Perhaps when he ruled during the time his father,
Uzziah, was a leper.)
- Earthquake - In the days of Uzziah, Zech 14:5. Mentioned in Amos 1:1.
A figurative earthquake may be implied, but the actual
event indicated is unclear.
(It is possible the event refers to the captivity of the
tribes East of the Jordon. 1Chron 5:26,6.
The removal of these 2.5 tribes from the Promised Land.)
- Isaiah 7:8 predicts that within 65 years Ephraim (ie, house of Israel)
would 'not be a people'. This prophecy was made while Ahaz was king of
Judah, Pekah was the king of Israel and Rezin was the king of Syria
(Isa 7:1). The prophecy was likely made at the end of Pekah's reign,
becuase the subsequent loss of all the land of Naphtali and the
relocation of its people outside the Promised Land (2K 15:29) was
probably the event which resulted in Pekah being murdered (2K 15:30).
While the prophecy mentioned 65 years, Samaria, the capital of the
house of Israel, fell to Assyria some 15 years thereafter, long
before the expiry of the 65 years.
This indicates that a subsequent Assyrian invasion was responsible
for relocating the remaining people of the house of Israel out of
the Promised Land. As the Judean king Manasseh was also later taken
captive by Assyria (2Chron 33:11) it is likely that the relocating
of the children of Israel took place when Manasseh was taken captive.
(NB: A symbolic meaning for the 65 years may also be present.
65 generations of 40 years would indicate a period of 2,600 yrs.
While the original 65 years pertained to the House of Israel,
the prophecy was actually stated to the king of Judah, with the
implication that if He did not believe Judah would also meet
a similar fate. In this chronology 2,600 years before the
prophesied future fall of Jerusalem would roughly correspond
with when Nebuchadnezar started to act against Judah. )
- Assyria - Jareb,- apparently a descriptive title, 'wrangler/defender',
referring to Tiglath-Pileser and/or later kings
- Ephraim's sickness and Judah's wound Hosea 5:13
Ephraim's sickness - 2K15:19 and 2K17:3
Judah's wound - 2K16:7,8 and 2C28:16-21
- obtains the calf of Beth Aven, Hosea 10:6

* NOTES *
- A Jubilee falls in the reign of Hezekiah, refer 2K19:29 & Isa 37:30.
Timing - In the 14th year of Hezekiah, Hezekiah gives tribute
to Sennacherib king of Assyria by taking gold from
the doors of the temple of the LORD, 2K18:13-16.
- Because of this God smote Hezekiah with sickness.
However, Hezekiah repented and God promised to extend
Hezekiah's life another 15 years (length of reign 29
years = 14 + 15 yrs) and deliver him from Assyria.
2K20:1-11.
- In the 15th year of Hezekiah, Hezekiah apparently
fails to pay an annual tax to Assyria and Sennacherib
sends his army against Jerusalem, 2K18:17-20.
- At this time God assures Hezekiah of deliverance
through the prophet Isaiah. According to the words of
Isaiah this 15th year is a land Sabbath year and the
following year (the 16th of Hezekiah) is also a year
of land rest (ie, a Jubilee year).
- At 2700 BT, this would be the 16th Jubilee year if
the first Jubilee was celebrated 50 years after the
Exodus, ie at 3450 BT. (When the land of Canaan was
considered to be under Israelite control).
- During the reign of Manasseh, God delivered up this king to captivity
under the hand of a king of Assyria (2 Chr 33:11), presumably at the
same time that the rest of the people of the house of Israel were
relocated. (When Esarhaddon settled foreigners in the territory of
the house of Israel, Ezra 4:2.)
2 Chr 33:13 records the return of Manasseh to Jerusalem and this,
presumably, would have occurred 10 years later at the time of the
next Jubilee.
- The latter years of the kings of Judah are normally presented,
as they are above, as essentially being composed of 31 years for
Josiah followed by 11 years for Jehoiakim and after that 11 years
for Zedekiah (adjustments being made for inclusive counting).
However, the reader should be aware that the book of Jeremiah in
verses 27:1,3 & 28:1 does indicate that the reigns of Zedekiah
and Jehoiakim overlapped.
It should also be pointed out that this is highlighted in the
differences one finds in the accounts of Kings and Chronicles
for this period.
Kings - Jehoiachin reigns after Jehoiakim dies, 2K24:6
- Jehoiachin reigns age 18 years for 3 months,
2K24:8
- Egypt is not a threat to Babylon, 2K24:7.
Chronicles - Jehoiachin reigns after Jehoiakim is taken
away bound in bronze fetters, 2C36:6
- Jehoiachin reigns age 8 years for 3 months
and 10 days, 2C36:9
- Zedekiah made to swear an oath not to call
upon the assistance of Egypt, 2C36:13 (also
refer Ezek 17:13&15).
[ NB: Such an overlap, if is exists, would normally effect the
overall chronology, but it seems there is reason to believe
it would be compensated for by;
- a delay in Josiah claiming the throne, note his
young age when crowned and the fact that it was
the people (and not him) who judged his father's
murders, 2K21:24.
- The years when Jehoiakim was held prisoner by
Nebuchadnezzar, 2C36:6 & 2K24:1. ]
- The chronology of the Josiah period appears at first to be straight
forward, ie simply a reign of 31 years. However, on closer inspection
it can be seen that the accounts of Kings and Chronicles do not
on the surface harmonise.
Kings - 18th year Book of the Law found, 2K22:1,8
- Covenant made 2K23:1-3
- Purges Judah and Israel, 2K23:4-20
- 18th year a great Passover observed, 2K23:22-23.
Chronicles - 8th year of reign begins to seek God, 2C34:3
- 12th year begins to purge Judah and Jerusalem,
2C34:3
- 18th year of reign Book of the Law found, 2C34:8
& 2C34:14
- Covenant made, 2C34:31.
- Removes abominations from the land of the house
of Israel, 2C34:33
- 18th year of dominion a great Passover observed,
2C35:18-19.
- The stated ages of kings Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim and Zedekiah when they
started to reign, 23 yrs, 25 yrs and 21 yrs respectively, are not in
harmony with their sequence of birth.
Jehoiakim 2nd born, Zedekiah 3rd born and Jehoahaz (also known as
Shallum - refer Jer 22:11-12) 4th born, as clearly stated in
1Chron 3:15.
As the term 'son of' in Hebrew does not always relate to a persons
age, but to a significant event in their life, it seems Zedekiah's
age (which is too low) could relate to the year when the great
Passover was held in the reign of Josiah.
- The prophesying of Jeremiah began in the 13th of Josiah and the
23rd year of his service was the 4th of Jehoiakim. Jer 25:1-3.
- Nebuchadnezzar surrounds Jerusalem 3rd Jehoiakim, Dan 1:1.
Daniel tested 2nd Nebuchadnezzar, Dan 2:1.
- Daniel was given 3 years of training (Dan 1:5).
- the 3rd year of Jehoiakim was the 1st year of this training.
- the 4th of Jehoiakim equated to the 1st of Nebuchadnezzar
(refer Jer 25:1) and was the 2nd year of training.
- the 2nd of Nebuchadnezzar was the 3rd year of training
and was the year of Nebuchadnezzar's dream.
- Nebuchadnezzar's reign is deemed to have started in the 4th year
of Jehoiakim (refer Jer 25:1).
However, one should note that Nebuchadnezzar is first mentioned
one year earlier in the 3rd year of Jehoiakim, Dan 1:1.
In the 4th year of Jehoiakim Nebuchadnezzar defeated the army of
Pharaoh Necho, Jer 46:2. Note, that the army of Egypt reappears
on the scene during the reign of Zedekiah, 37:1,5.
- Jeremiah 52:28-30; 7th year of (Neb.?) = 3,023
18th year of Neb. = 832
23rd year of Neb. = 745
-----
4,600
Chapter 52 of Jeremiah records the above information and these
dates do not align with those stated in other texts.
- The captivity of Jehoiachin and his mother is recorded to
have taken place on the 8th of Nebuchadnezzar (refer 2K24:12)
- The captivity connected to the fall of Jerusalem took place
on the 19th of Nebuchadnezzar (refer 2K25:8, Jer 52:12).
- The 18th yr of Nebuchadnezzar was the 10th yr of Zedekiah
(refer Jer 32:1) and Jerusalem was not breached until the
11th yr of Zedekiah (2K25:1-2).
Hence the dates indicated 7th and 18th of Nebuchadnezzar are a
year too low. This may suggest they therefore correlate with when
God started to deal personally with Nebuchadnezzar, when the king
had his first dream, ie in the second year of his reign (Dan 2:2).
Or it may reflect the different timings for the start of the reign
of Nebuchadnezzar, ie 3rd(Dan 1:1) and 4th(Jer 25:1) of Jehoiakim.
The 23rd date seems to relate to the subsequent captivity of the
Israelites who fled to Egypt, refer Jer 43:11,24:8. (Since there
is also a full 7 year period when Nebuchadnezzar is humbled,
chapter 4 of Daniel, the actual fall of Egypt may have occurred
in the 30th year, ie 23 + 7 years.)
- Ezekiel 33:21 states that Ezekiel heard news of Jerusalem being
'struck down' on the 5th day of the 10th month of the 12th year
of their captivity.
Jerusalem had been,
a) breached on the 9th day of the 4th month,
(2K25:3,Jer 39:2).
b) burnt on the 10th day of the 5th month,
(Jer 52:12).
Therefore, it had taken 5 months for the news to reach Ezekiel.
But more importantly, the year Jerusalem was 'struck down' was
the 12th year of their captivity. Since Zedekiah only reigned
11 years (2K24:18), this indicates that Zedekiah's reign began
in the year following the captivity of the 8th year of the reign
of Nebuchadnezzar (2K24:12).
The 12th year of captivity also appears to be confirmed by the
different datings of attributed to Nebuchadnezzar,
- Jerusalem falls 19th, but captivity on the 8th: a span
of 12 years when counted inclusively
- Jerusalem falls 18th, but captivity on the 7th: a span
of 12 years when counted inclusively.
- Ezekiel 1:1-2, 30th of Jeremiah is the 5th of the captivity
of Jehoiachin.
- Daniel 12:11-12, 1290 & 1335 days.
These equate to 2580 years and 2670 years (ie double)
- 2580 years = Abomination to Abomination
= Nebuchadnezzar and the princes in the
'middle gate' (of the temple), refer
Jer39:3, to the future Great Tribulation.
- 2670 years = House of Israel 'not a people' to the
end of corrupt faith (ie the end of
the Great Tribulation).
Note: To convert the 2670 years to provide a period
ending with the start of the Great Tribulation
deduct 10 years. House of Israel 'not a people'
to start of Tribulation equals 2660 years.
Therefore house of Israel 'not a people' to
Nebuchadnezzar and the princes standing in the
middle gate is 80 years.
- Ezekiel chapter 4, 390 & 40 yrs
- 390 years = Divided kingdom to the fall of Judah
(and the remnant of Israel).
- 40 years = Jeremiah to fall of Judah.
