  • The Interphased Chronology of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah and Hoshea1 Harold G
    THE INTERPHASED CHRONOLOGY OF JOTHAM, AHAZ, HEZEKIAH AND HOSHEA1 HAROLD G. STIGERS, Ph.D. Up until the appearance of The Mysteríous Numbers of the Hebrew Kings* by Edwin Thiele in 1951, the possibility of the harmonization of the dates for the Hebrew kings as given in the Book of Kings seemed impossibly remote, if not actually irreconcilable. The apparent conflict of data is seemingly due to the fact that an eye-witness account takes things as they are with no attempt being made to harmonize apparently contradictory data, nor to state outright the clues as to the relationships which would make it possible in an easy manner to coordinate the reigns of the kings. Living in the times of the kings of Israel and Judah, and understanding completely the circumstances, and writing a message, the significance of which is not dependent on the dates being harmonized, the authors of the records used in Kings felt no need of explaining coordinating data. However, if the dating were to be harmonized, the viewpoint that the present text of the Old Testament represents a careful transmission of the Hebrew text through the centuries3, would receive a great testi- mony to its accuracy. Now, with the work of Thiele, that testimony has, in a great measure, been given, but not without one real lack, in that for him, the chronology of the period of Jotham through Hezekiah is twelve years out of phase.4 In this point for him the chronology is contradictory and requires the belief that the synchronisms of 2 Ki. 18:9, 10 and 18:1 are the work of a later harmonizing hand, not in the autograph written by the inspired prophet.5 The method correlating the synchronizations between the Judean and Israelite kings of the time of 753/52 B.C.

  • The Synchronisms of the Hebrew Kings- a Re-Evaluation : I1
    THE SYNCHRONISMS OF THE HEBREW KINGS- A RE-EVALUATION : I1 EDWIN R. THIELE Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan Another period of Hebrew history that has provided serious chronological perplexities is the century covering the reigns of Athaliah to Azariah in Judah and Jehu to Pekahiah in Israel. The reigns of this period are as follows : Israel Athaliah 7 years Jehu 28 years Joash 40 years Jehoahaz 17 years Amaziah 29 years Jehoash 16 years Azariah 52 years Jeroboam I1 41 years Total I 28 years Zachariah 6 months Shallum I month Menahem 10 years Pekahiah 2 years Total I 14 years, 7 months Since Athaliah and Jehu began their reigns simultaneously, and since Pekahiah terminated his reign in the fifty-second and last year of Azariah (z Ki 15 : 27)) the totals of Israel and Judah for this period should be identical, but we notice that there is an excess of approximately 13 years in Judah over Israel. From Assyrian sources the length of this period can be fixed at about a century, for it was in 841 B.C. that Jehu paid tribute to Shalmaneser 111, and it was during the great The first pad of this article was published in A USS, I (1963) 121-138. SYNCHRONISMS OF THE HEBREW KINGS I21 campaign of Tiglath-pileser I11 against the Westland in 743-738 B.C. that Azariah and Menahem are mentioned in the Assyrian records. Noticing the seeming discrepancies between Hebrew and Assyrian history for this period, Albright has proposed the following solution for Judah: "The excess of some 24 years can be eliminated entirely by disregarding the total reigns attributed to the kings of Judah and basing our revised estimates of their reigns solely on the synchronisms with Israel (which throughout contradict the regnal totals of the kings of Judah) ." Thus by a reduction of the reign of Athaliah from 7 years to 6, of Joash from 40 to 38, of Amaziah from 29 to 18, and Azariah from 52 to 42, Albright endeavors to bring the chronology of Judah into line with that of Assyria.

  • Jeroboam II Jeroboam, Son of Joash, Was Israel's Most Successful King
    Jeroboam II Jeroboam, son of Joash, was Israel’s most successful king since Solomon, expanding Israelite control into the Transjordan and north into Aramean territory (2 Kgs 14:23–29). His 41-year reign was characterized by unprecedented peace and economic prosperity. Jeroboam’s success was largely the result of a temporary power vacuum in the ancient Near East that allowed both Israel and Judah to assert more control over the region. Aram, also called Syria, was Israel’s main enemy through the late ninth century BC. By the time of Jeroboam, Aram had been weakened by conflicts with Assyria. As a result, Jeroboam was able to conquer territory formerly under the control of Aram, such as Damascus, Hamath, and the Transjordan. The Assyrian Empire didn’t oppose this expansion until the end of Jeroboam’s reign. In the early eighth century BC, Assyrian power waned because of internal conflicts over succession and external threats from north of Mesopotamia; as a result, they paid little attention to the affairs of Syria-Palestine. Egypt was also weak during this time, consumed by civil war. Barry, J. D., Mangum, D., Brown, D. R., Heiser, M. S., Custis, M., Ritzema, E., … Bomar, D. (2012, 2016). Faithlife Study Bible (Ho 1:1). Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press. 2:19 The four virtues listed in this verse, combined with the faithfulness mentioned in Hos 2:20, form the essence of Yahweh’s character.

  • Smoky Mountain Bible Institute Archeology 104 Cities & Artifacts
    Smoky Mountain Bible Institute Archeology 104 Cities & Artifacts Let’s break out our brush again and knock some dust off more interesting archeological artifacts. This veritable mountain of ancient treasures all makes perfect sense in light of God’s truth. Cities: Here is a small list of Middle Eastern cities or towns that either have, or have had, archeological digs that validate biblical chronologies with regard to those places: Gezer, Shiloh, Ashdod, Beth Shemesh, the pool at Gibia, Gibeah, Beth Shean, Jerusalem, Beersheba, Samaria, Hazor, Carchemish, Babylon, Suza, Nazereth, Bethsaida, Cana, Capernaum, Gergesa, Sychar, Jericho, Bethany, Tiberias, Ceasarea Philippi, Megiddo, Sepphoris, the ten cities of the Decapolis, Damascus, Areopagus, Corinth, Ephesus, multiple Antioch’s, Thessalonica, Smyrna, Pergamum, and Sardis. This is really only a very small sampling of a very large list of such places. House of David: The inscription found on a piece of stone at Tel Dan is the first extra biblical mention of King David. Many claimed in the late 1800’s that he never existed. Ivory: Decorative ivory ornaments, and other objects with Hebrew inscriptions, have been found in several sites in Palestine dating to the time of King Solomon. They may not come from his ivory and gold covered throne, but they do give evidence of a unique craft in use at the time and place of the biblical Solomon. Ancient donation receipts: Ostracon is the word for pieces of pottery used for notes, messages and receipts. Because they are made of pottery, they can be dated very accurately.

  • 2 Kings 18:1 in the Third Year of King Hoshea Son of Elah of Israel, Hezekiah Son of King Ahaz of Judah Began to Reign
    2 Kings 18:1 In the third year of King Hoshea son of Elah of Israel, Hezekiah son of King Ahaz of Judah began to reign. 2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi daughter of Zechariah. 3 He did what was right in the sight of the LORD just as his ancestor David had done. 4 He removed the high places, broke down the pillars, and cut down the sacred pole.1 He broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it; it was called Nehushtan. 5 He trusted in the LORD the God of Israel; so that there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah after him, or among those who were before him. 6 For he held fast to the LORD; he did not depart from following him but kept the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses. 7 The LORD was with him; wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and would not serve him. 8 He attacked the Philistines as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city. 9 In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of King Hoshea son of Elah of Israel, King Shalmaneser of Assyria came up against Samaria, besieged it, 10 and at the end of three years, took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of King Hoshea of Israel, Samaria was taken.
