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.
|

|
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.

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.
