Objective of Israel Kings Chronological Review
Are there gaps to be found in the biblical chronology of Jerusalem kings?
Is it reasonable to ignore a 40 year portion of Ezekiel Jerusalem judgment and use only the 390 year portion of Ezekiel prophesy? Do the Gaps in having a king present in Jerusalem explain this shortage?
How accurate are the predictions of when Jubilee years were celebrated?
Findings
It is concluded there are gaps that can be accounted for by cross referencing the year counts of the kings of Jerusalem and the kings of Samaria. This time gap confirms the prophetic 430 profane
years of Ezekiel chapter 4.
The definitive Jubilees found here are the 300 year mark of Jephthah, Solomon Temple dedication and Christ baptism.
Gaps
The bible method of reporting the Kings of Israel and Judah differs from the chronology method employed for prior patriarchs. The method employed in the Pentateuch is typically given as: in Abe's 100 year he sired Isaac and he died at age 175 years, Isaac lived 137 years and in his 60th year he sired Jacob etc. For the kings in Jerusalem the recording moves to stating years of reign in as King over abc and died at 123 or at age 321 King Yz began to reign in Jerusalem for 123 years. Three recording styles are used,
A. no age at start nor death given only reign time; #0Solomon, #7Athaliah, & #20Zedekiah.
B. start age, reign time, no death age; #1Rehoboam, #2Abijah, , #3Asa, #4 Jehoshaphat, #5Jehoram, #6Ahaziah, #8Jehoash, #9Amaziah, #10Uzziah, #11Jotham, #12Ahaz(20y/16),
#13Hezekiah(29y/25), #14Manasseh(55y/12) #15Amon(2y/22), #16Josiah(31y/8),
#17Jehoahaz(0.25y/23), #18Jehoiakim(11y/25), #19Jehoiachin(1/4or1/2Y/8&18)
C. start, reign, and death, David, start age 30, 7y Hebron, 33Y Jerusalem & died age 70, 2Sam5:4. Kings of Jerusalem captured and exiled from Judah:
a) -06 Ahaziah Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was HIDING IN SAMARIA), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him,.. 2Chr22:9
b) -09Amaziah was CAPTURED by Jehoash and lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash. Israel captured the treasure of Jerusalem 2Kgs14:13-15
Kings of Jerusalem captured and exiled from Judah: c) -14Manasseh, taken to Babylon, repented and
returned to Jerusalem d) -17Jehoahaz, taken to Egypt
e) -18Jehoiakim, taken to Babylon, appointed by Egypt
f) -19Jehoiachin, temple & city sacked taken to Babylon lives at least age 45
g) -20Zedekiah, 11y captive to Babylon
If a king is in exile or captivity, he cannot reign as a king in Jerusalem. Scripture is mostly silent on the duration of these exile and captivity times. Prophecy is one way to find the time span of the Kings of Jerusalem, like Ezekiel 4:1-13. There we find the total years of offense of Jerusalem, 390 plus 40, not just 390 as some wish to make it. This easily seen in the 70 Sabbaths of judgment. For 70 times 7years/1sabbath is 490. Even if one says the 70 punishment years are therein included, one gets 490-70 or 420 years. Still it exceeds the 390 year many wish to use. I think the correct total is 500. For we find 70 judgment years added to the 430 years of apostasy is 500. Also remember that every 50th year is to be 1 extra Sabbath year or 10 Jubilee Sabbaths in 500 years, so 70 times 7 year per Sabbath is 490 plus the 10 Jubilee years gives 500, as does 390+40+70=430+70.
Nebuchadnezzar sacked Jerusalem three times as noted in chronicle of Jeremiah. This happened in Nebuchadnezzar, 7th, 18th, and 23yr years. When the seventy years were complete none of the captured kings returned. They all died in exile, akin to those of the wicked generation of Exodus. Some will say the 70 years started with carry away. Jeremiah says it started with the desolating of the land,
And this whole land shall be desolation, and astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon 70 years. Jer25:11
That only happened under the 3rd smiting of the land in the 23 year of Nebuchadnezzar. Also in looking at Jeremiah count of smiting, ‘in Nebuchadnezzar 7th year ended #19Jehoiachin's reign, then 11 year later in Nebuchadnezzar 18Y ends #20Zedekiah's 11 years, this leaves yet another 5 years, (23-18) until the whole land desolation unto start of the 70 year judgment.
In Jer3:10 can be seen the linking of Judah with Israel, "her sister, Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah". This is yet another indication that Ezekiel 390 and 40 years are to be summed, not taken as separate judgments.
Kings of Jerusalem captured and exiled from Judah: Also found is that Ezekiel was given the same ration for both judgment periods, 20 shekels of meal a day, cooked on cow dung for each of the 430 days of his giving the prophecy.
Also is found in many places the word Israel refers to the combined houses of Samaria, the north 10 tribes plus the south two tribes. A read thru Hosea shows the varied use of these terms, Israel, Ephraim, Judah. One Harlot to represent both as unfaithful.
Sabbaths and Jubilee years
Finally coming to the Sabbaths and Jubilee years, at look at Nehemiah could be helpful. …” For since the days of Joshua the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so… And there was very great gladness. Also day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Law of God.
Sabbaths and Jubilee years
And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day there was a sacred assembly, according to the prescribed manner…” Neh8:17-18
For.. Moses.. Saying: "At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of release, at the Feast of Tabernacles, when all Israel comes to appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Deut31:10-11.
Now if the books of the law were lost until Josiah, how could Israel be keeping the Sabbath years on a regular basis? "Hilkiah the priest found the (lost) Book of Moses Law in temple & after King Josiah had heard the words of the Law, he rent his clothes. 2Kg23:24/25." When the Law was found, alas it only mentions keeping of the Passover, not the Sabbath years.

Table 1 - Jubilee Cycle CalculationsAs Dedication of Temple was 488.5 years from Exodus and Conquest was complete 38.5 years from Exodus, there are (488.5 - 38.5) = 450 years from Moses 1st reading of the law after east bank conquest.
The 450 years are 9 jubilees of 50 years each. Solomon Temple was dedicated at end of 9th Jubilee or start of 10th cycle from when Moses starts Jubilee cycle at end of East Bank conquest.
The 300 years of Jephthah is 6 times 50 or start of the 7th Jubilee from when Moses first read law in ears of all Israel. Christ baptism was at end of 29th or start 30th jubilee cycle from Moses starting.

Finding the Missing Years of Jerusalem Kings by Cross Reference
Here are found the missing years of the Kings of Judah. As per prior statement, kings years are listed only regal years. If a king was captive or there was no king for an interim time, the scripture not account directly those years.
In these two table the listed regal year of each listed king is summed sequentially. There be 2 common base points, the death of King Solomon and the carry away of Samaria. Both Tables and count is from the 38.5 year after Exodus. As seen here there is a maximum of 20.6 years missing. In Table 2 it was found necessary to add 19.8 year(items 20&24) to match the 430 year prophesy of Ezekiel 4. This table substantiates that addition of about 19.8 years. It is thought most overlook these years as they want fit Judean Kings into a total 390 year time gap. Ignoring the continuity of Ezekiel prophesies is not correct.

apostasy, start temple Y4, dedicate Y12, at

& Judah suffered greatly for joining Israel's
idolatry. For Philistines and Arabians near

Go page1 GoTable1
6. Ahaziah - King of Judah
Ahaziah (Jehoahaz) son of Jehoram : Reigned 1
year, KIA23 or 43 by Syria
2Kg8:26, 9:29 Ahaziah was 22Yo when he
became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem 1Y.9:29
in the 11Y of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had
become king over Judah. He became allied with
Joram.
2Chr22:9 Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they
caught him (he was HIDING IN SAMARIA), and
brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, ...
So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume
power over the kingdom... 2Kgs8:27 and he
walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did
evil in the sight of the LORD, like the house of
Ahab, for he was the son-in-law of the house of
Ahab.
42Yo was Ahaziah when he began his 1Y reign in
Jerusalem. His mother was Athaliah, a
granddaughter of Omri. (2Chr.22:2)
(Compare 2Kg8:26). According to that passage, the
commencement of his reign is dated in the 22Y of his
age, and, according to this, in the 42Y of the kingdom
of his mother‘s family [Lightfoot]. “If Ahaziah
ascended the throne in the 22Y of his life, he must
have been born in his father‘s 19Y. The point that is
being stressed by the Holy Spirit who inspired the
Chronicler to so write is that Ahaziah is as much the
"son of Omri" as he is "the son of David". Since the
Messiah was foretold as being "the son of David"
(Mat.22:42), and not the "son of Omri", Ahaziah name
is deliberately omitted in the official genealogy of
Christ Jesus in Matthew 1:8. That is, Ahaziah, his son
Joash, and Joash's son Amaziah have been judicially
removed by the Holy Spirit in Matthew due to their
relationship to Ahab's and Jezebel's wicked daughter
Athaliah. Her idolatrous influence infected, as it were,
the Judaic lineage and these three Kings of Judah were
all charged with idolatry (1. Ahaziah, 2Chr.22:3-4, the
"ways of the house of Ahab"; 2. Joash, 2Chr.24:17-18;
3. Amaziah 2Chr.25:14-15, "gods of Edom"). As the
sins of the parents are visited to the third and fourth
generation (Exo.20:5, cp. Ps109:13-14), 3 generations
are passed over in the register in "cleansing" the
Messianic lineage so that Messiah may be said to be
the "son of David" and none other. Thus it may be
seen that these two Scriptures (2Chr.22:2; Mat.1:8),
both long held to be erroneous, actually sustain and
explain one another. If it be doubted that the Holy
Spirit's omission of these three names in Matthew 1:8
is deliberate, let the skeptic note that the names of
three High Priests, (Amariah [Jehoshaphat's], Jehoiada
[Athaliah etc.], and Zechariah [Joash's]) all of whom
officiated during this time frame, are also not found in
the official register. Moreover Jehoiada was one of the
finest priests since Samuel (2Chr.24:16) and yet his
name is omitted from the genealogical roll
(1Chr.6:1-15, cp. Ezr.7:1-5; also see 2Ki11:4-19; 12:2; 2Chr.
22-24). Jehoiada lived 130 years (2Chr.24:15)
so was alive in the days of Rehoboam, perhaps even back to the time of Solomon. He would have reached the age of assuming the full priesthood during the middle of the reign of Asa and was the high priest at the time of Athaliah overthrow and the installment of little Joash to his rightful throne (2Chr.23:8c, 18-20; 24:6). Why are their names missing? Although a conclusive answer for all three is not known, perhaps it was due in part to their association with several of the monarchs. But, sufficient reasons are to be found related to Jehoiada having been excluded
. First, it was he who made the plural marriages
for young Joash, undoubtedly in an attempt to
insure a male heir to David's throne. Such
marriages were not only wrong in God's eyes, but
by so doing Jehoiada displayed a lack of faith that
God Himself would perform the promise to David
that he would not lack a son who could occupy
the throne", (2Sam.7; Psa.89:19-37).
7. Athaliah - Queen of Judah
Athaliah; usurper mother of Ahaziah Reigned 6
years: (7Y) d62? By revolt
2Kg11:1 now when Athaliah the mother of
Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and
destroyed all the royal family. Thus they hid him
(Joash) from Athaliah, so that he was not put to
death. And he remained with her 6Y, hidden in
the house of the Lord, while Athaliah reigned over
the land. She was the granddaughter of Omri, king
of Israel, 2Kgs8:26
Go page1 GoTable1
8. Joash - King of Judah
Joash Reigned 40 years. D47Y wounded by Syria,
killed in his bed by servant.
2Kg10:36 & the period that Jehu reigned over
Israel in Samaria was 28Y.
2Kg12:1 In 7Y of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign, &
he reigned 40Y in Jerusalem.
2Kg11:21 Jehoash was 7Y old when he became
king, restored Temple only to have city sacked by
Syria.
2Kg13:1 In the 23Yr of Joash the son of Ahaziah,
king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu became
king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned 17Y.
9. Amaziah - King of Judah
Amaziah son of Joash of Judah : Reign of 29
years, killed age 59Y
2Kg14:2 In the second year of Joash the son of
Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash,
king of Judah, began to reign. He was 25Y old
when he began to reign, and he reigned 29Y in
Jerusalem. Lost treasury to Jehoash of Israel who
break down 180m city wall. Amaziah took much
of Edomite land but worshipped they gods & lost
his kingdom and life. 2Kgs14:23 In Amaziah
15Y, Jeroboam-II, the son of Joash, king of Israel,

mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her
Sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept
Sabbath, to fulfill 70Y."
Jer25:11 And this whole land shall be a
desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations
shall serve the king of Babylon 70 years.
For in 70 years of Sabbaths we have 7Y/1Sabbath
year times 70 Sabbath years or 490 years, and in a
total of 500 years there be 10 Jubilee land
Sabbaths spaced 50Y apart. The sum is
490+10=500Y, for in the 50thY, the land was to
rest also. Even double counting 49 year Jubilers
will see 490<(390+40).

iniquity, according to the number of the days, 390
days; so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of
Israel. And when you have completed them, lie
again on your right side; then you shall bear the
iniquity of the house of Judah 40 days. I have laid
on you a day for each year.

granddaughter of Omri. (2Chr.22:2) Amp

commencement of his reign is dated in the
twenty-second year of his age, and, according to this, in the
forty-second year of the kingdom of his mother‘s

The 1st time line breaks the 480 Years into 3 parts: A) From Exodus unto East Bank Conquest in the 38.5 Year from Exodus, B) The 300Y told Jephthah from East Bank Conquest unto beginning of Jephthah Judgeship, C) by difference there remain 141.5Y from start of Jephthah unto start of Solomon Temple. In part C, a further breakdown is made to see how the known years and
unspecified years could be fitted into the 141.5Y time gap.
The key numbers given in old testament are: times of the 4 listed Judges, (6,7,10,8); The 40 year priesthood of Eli’s 98 year life that ended with capture of the Ark; then 20 years the Ark spent at Abinadab’s until David brought it to Jerusalem in the 1st year of his 33 years there, David’s 7 years as King outside Hebron, and the 4 years of Solomon reign unto laying Temple foundation.
Eli’s 98 year life ended at capture of Ark. It is told he was priest for 40 years. This cannot start until age 30 by Moses Law. Thus his last 28 years were as an Elder. It is seen that Eli as Tabernacle Priest, overlapped the 4 judges by 15 years by counting back. The total time of either Samuel or Saul is not specified in scripture. But David kingship began at Solomon death, also Samuel could not be Tabernacle Priest until Eli retired. This leaves about 41 or 42 combined years for Saul and Samuel. It is possible Saul was king for 40 years. In one place David’s term is given as 33Y and a few months. The Ark was also 7 months in Gaza before return to Israel. Samson time by Seder Olam is placed outside the 141.5 year span.
