		| Notes |  
		| 1 | If
			Elah's reign began in the 26th year of Asa's and lasted two years
			(1 Ki. 16:8), and Omri's reign began in Asa's 31st year (1 Ki.
			16:23), then there was no king of Israel for at least 2 years. 
			 |  
		| 2 | If
			Omri's reign began in the 31st year of Asa's, and lasted 12 years
			(1 Ki. 16:23), then Omri's reign was from Asa's 31st to 42nd year. 
Omri's son Ahab began his reign in the 38th year of Asa	(1 Ki. 16:29). Therefore the reigns of Omri and Ahab overlapped by five years (years 38-42 of Asa.) However, 1
			Ki. 16:28 says that Ahab began his reign after his father Omri
			died, so there could not have been any overlap. 
			 |  
		| 3 | At
			this point the story becomes impossible to graph without assuming
			that at least one verse in the Bible is false. 2 Ki. 1:17 states
			that Israel's Jehoram ("Joram") began his reign in the
			2nd year of Judah's Jehoram. Yet 2 Ki. 8:16 states that Judah's
			Jehoram began his reign in the 5th year of Joram's reign! This is
			a circular reference which contradicts itself. For this graph I
			have assumed that 2 Ki. 1:17 is false; I think this yields the
			fewest contradictions. 
			 |  
		| 4 | 2
			Ki. 9:29 states that Ahaziah's reign began in the 11th year of
			Joram. 2 Ki. 8:25 states that Ahaziah's reign began in the 12th
			year of Joram. Since one of these statements must be false, I have
			assumed 2 Ki. 9:29 is false as this prevents Ahaziah's reign from
			overlapping with Jehoram's reign. 
			 |  
		| 5 | There
			is a 3-year overlap in the reigns of Jehoahaz and his son Joash.
			Yet 2 Ki. 13:9 states that Joash began his rule after Jehoahaz
			died. 
			 |  
		| 6 | There
			is an overlap in the reigns of Joash (of Judah) and his son
			Amaziah. Yet 2 Ki. 12:21 states that Amaziah began his rule after
			Joash died. 
			 |  
		| 7 | There
			is an 11-year gap between the reign of Amaziah and his son
			Azariah. But 2 Ki. 14:17-21 indicates that Azariah became king
			immediately after his father was buried. 
			 |  
		| 8 | There
			is a 22-year gap between the reigns of Jeroboam and his son
			Zacharia. Yet 2 Ki. 14:29 indicates that Zacharia began to reign
			right after his father's death. 
			 |  
		| 9 | It's odd that Hoshea's reign is dated as the 20th year of Jotham when Jotham's reign was only 16 years (2 Ki. 15:33). Hoshea's
			reign is also said to have started in the 12th year of the reign
			of Ahaz (2 Ki. 17:1): a 7 year discrepancy which would've left the
			throne of Israel vacant for 7 years.
