Timeline: Prophets in the Reigns of Kings of Judah and Israel


This tables shows the reigns of each of the Kings of Judah and Israel, together with the dates and lengths of the reigns, and the prophets who were active at that time. Because I find it hard to think about BC dates, I've also included the number of years since the end of Solomon's, so that we have a scale of increasing year numbers.
This ties together all the other material: consult the separate tables for more details of the individual monarchs and prophets.
