Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings

The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings

Synopsis:
Considered the classic and comprehensive work in reckoning the accession of kings, calendars, and co-regencies based upon the Old Testament text and other extra-biblical sources.

One of the most puzzling aspects of Old Testament chronology has been the synchronization of the reigns of the Hebrew kings. The biblical records provide much information about these kings and how they relate to each other, but when all the information is put together it seems contradictory.

Dr. Edwin R. Thiele has addressed these issues and solved the problems related to the chronology of the Hebrew kings. By carefully studying the biblical data, he determined the dating methods of the early Hebrew scribes. By following the principles established by these scribes, Dr. Thiele has succeeded in producing a chronology that is consistent with the scriptural records and the records of other nations of the ancient world.
