Shem's birth

Genesis 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
 

2 years after the flood, Shem was 100 years old.

Note: Genesis 5:32 which states "And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth." was not used because it is unclear if all 3 sons were born in the same year. Using Genesis 11:10, Noah was 502 when Shem was born. See the notes for Noah's death. The reference for the end of the flood is not when the waters dried up in Genesis 8:13, but some time before that. As in Genesis 9:28-29, the reference will be when Noah was 600 years old as the end of the flood.

Beginning of the Great Flood 

Genesis 7:11   In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

600 years after Noah's birth, the flood starts

Years after creation

Flood ends (waters were dried up)

Genesis 8:13  And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
 

601 years after Noah's birth, the flood ends.

Josephus: In The Antiquities of the Jews 8:3:1, the construction of the temple began 1440 years after the ‘Deluge’. He also said in that same paragraph that the temple was built 3102 years after the creation of Adam. According to 1 Kings 6:38, the temple took 7 years to complete. The difference puts the year the flood ended to be 1655. This gives validity to the Masoretic text time line. Each of the dates mentioned is rounded to the nearest year. The difference between Josephus and the date derived from the Masoretic text is only 2 years.  That is getting pretty close.

Noah's death

Genesis 9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

Genesis 9:29 So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.

350 years after the flood, or 950 years after Noah’s birth, Noah died.

Note: Subtracting 950 from 350 yields Noah’s age at the flood to be 600. Genesis 8:13 says Noah was 601. Therefore when Genesis 9:28 says that Noah lived 350 years after the flood, the reference is not when the waters dried. The reference is most likely when the rain stopped.

Abraham's Birth

Genesis 12:4 So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran....

Acts 7:4Then came he [Abraham] out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

 

75 years after Abraham’s birth, Abram (later changed to Abraham) departed from Haran. Also, Abraham had been in Canaan 10 years when Ishmael was conceived. Since 9 months later, Ishmael was born, the time Abraham was in Canaan at Ishmael’s birth was 11 years.

Note: An assumption is made in the Genesis 16 passage that Ishmael was conceived less than a year after Abraham took Hagar. Since the times established from Genesis 12 agree with this assumption, it is taken as correct.

Abraham, at 75 years of age, left Harran after his father, Terah, died.  Terah lived 205 years.  Subtracting 75 from the age of Terah at his death places Abraham's birth 2008 yrs after creation.

2008

Genesis 17:17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"

When Abraham was 100 years old, Sarah was 90 years old. Therefore, 10 years after Abraham’s birth, Sarah was born.

Genesis 12:2-4
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
 

75 years after Abraham's birth, God gave Abraham the promise.

Ishmael's birth

Genesis 16:16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

Genesis 17:23-25 So Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very same day, as God had said to him.  Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

Abraham was 86 when Ishmael was born. Also, Ishmael was 13 years old when Abraham was 99 years old. Therefore, 86 years after Abraham's birth, Ishmael was born.

Then God said: "No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

Joseph starts service for Pharaoh

Genesis 41:28-34

(28) This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

(29) Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

(30) And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

(31) And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

(32) And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

(33) Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

(34) Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

Genesis 41:39-40 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. "You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you."

Pharaoh placed Joseph in charge of Egypt because of the interpretation he had of Pharaoh's dream. It is assumed that the years of plenty started the year Joseph started service for Pharaoh. If the abundance didn't start as soon as Joseph started work, Pharaoh would have thought the interpretation was incorrect. Also, Pharaoh put Joseph in charge to plan during the years of plenty, for the years of famine.

(5) And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

(6) And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:

(7) His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

Promise given to Jacob the same year Jacob moves to Egypt.

Genesis 15:13 Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.

400 years before the Israelites leave Egypt, their servitude began

Note: Genesis 50:26 seems to be clear that the 400 years is that of affliction. The beginning of Joseph’s ruling in Egypt was under favorable conditions and the Israelites were invited to come. However, it appears that 30 years after their invitation, the affliction started. An assumption may be made that the start of the affliction is slavery. This would be 41 years before Joseph died.

Law given to Moses

Exodus 19:1-3 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. For they had departed from Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before the mountain. And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, "Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

Galatians 3:16-17 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ.

Numbers 20:12  Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."

Moses was not permitted to go into the promise land (Deuteronomy 34:4 and Numbers 20:12). Moses was alive in the fortieth year of the Israelites time in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 1:3 and 8:2). Moses died before the Israelites entered the promise land (Joshua 1:1-2).  The Israelites entered the promise land 40 years after they left Egypt. Therefore, Moses died the same year that the Israelites entered the promise land.

God makes Joshua leader of Israel

Joshua 1:1-3 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, saying,  "Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them--the children of Israel. "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

Joshua becomes leader of Israel after Moses' death and before the Israelites enter the promise land. Since both events happened in the same year, it is also the year that Joshua becomes leader of Israel.

2768

Israelites enter the promise land

Numbers 14:33-34 `And your sons shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and bear the brunt of your infidelity, until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness.  According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, namely forty years, and you shall know My rejection.

Numbers 32:13  "So the LORD'S anger was aroused against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was gone.

Joshua 5:6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD--to whom the LORD swore that He would not show them the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, "a land flowing with milk and honey."

Joshua 1:1-3 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, saying: "Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them--the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

40 years after the Israelites leave Egypt, the Israelites enter the promise land.

Note: It is assumed that the time in the wilderness began when the Israelites left Egypt and ended when the Israelites entered the promised land.

Judges 2:8And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

The period of the Judges of Israel begins (in progress)

Acts 13:20  And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years , until Samuel the prophet.

The judges of Israel for about 450 years according to Paul.

Judges 3:8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Meesopotamia: and the children of Isral served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.

Israel was in bondage to King Chushan-rishathaim of Mesopotamia for 8 years

Judges 3:9-11 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 10 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.  11 And the land had rest forty years . And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
 

Othniel judged Israel 40 years

Judges 3:12-14  And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.  And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.  So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

Israelites in bondage to Eglon, King of Moab for 18 years

Judges 3:15  But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

Judges 3:21  And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

Judges 3:30  So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

Ehud rises up, assassinates Eglon, king of Moab, and the Israelites have peace for 80 years.

Judges 4:1-3
4:1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.  And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.  And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.

Judges 4:4  And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

Judges 5:31  So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

Judges 6:1  And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

Judges 8:28  Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.

Judges 8:33  And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.

Judges 9:22  When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,

Judges 10:1-2  And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.  And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

Judges 10:3  And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.

Judges 10:6-8  And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.  And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.  And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

Judges 12:7  And Jephthah judged Israel six years . Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.

Judges 12:8-9  And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.  And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

Judges 12:10-11  Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.  And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.

Judges 12:12-14  And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.  And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.  And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.

Judges 13:1  And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

Judges 15:20  And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

The period of the Judges of Israel Ends

Acts 13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

1 Kings 2:11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

King David reigned in Hebron for 7 years

1 Kings 2:11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

King David reigned in Jerusalem for 33 years

1 Kings 2:10  So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

King David died 4 years earlier than Solomon began construction of the temple.

<< 26 >>
Solomon becomes king of Israel

1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

1 Kings 2:12  Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
 

4 years before Solomon begins construction of the temple, Solomon becomes king of Israel

The year King David died, (1 Kings 2:10), then Solomon sat upon his father's throne. (v12)

Note-Worked backwards from the date of the beginning of the construction of the temple in Jerusalem.

3204

<< 25 >>
Construction of the temple starts

1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

480 years after the Israelites leave Egypt, Solomon begins construction of the temple.

This was the 4th year of Solomon's reign.

3208

Construction of the temple ends

1 Kings 6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

7 years after construction began, or 11 years after Solomon became king, the construction was complete.

Josephus:  According to Josephus, in The Antiquities of the Jews 8:3:1, the temple was built 3102 years after the creation of Adam. Each of the dates mentioned is rounded to the nearest year. The difference between Josephus and the dates derived from the Masoretic text is only 53 years. This is well within the expected tolerance. Josephus should never be used as proof for the bible; the bible should be used however to prove or disprove Josephus.

2 Chron 12:13  So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

Rehoboam was born to Solomon and Naamah 41 years before the death of Solomon.

1 Kings 11:42-43  And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

(43) And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

Solomon ruled all Israel for 40 years.

This is also the same year Rehoboam began his reign.

2 Chron 13:1-2  Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

1 Kings 12:20  And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

Jeroboam had been reigning for 18 years when Abijah, king of Judah began his reign.  See the reference to the beginning of the reign of Abijah.

1 Kings 14:25  And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:

Shishak, King of Egypt came up against Rehoboam

2 Chron 12:13  So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

Rehoboam reigned in Jerusalem for 17 years.

He was 41 yrs old when he began his reign. 

2 Chron 13:1-2  Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

Abijah begins his reign over Judah 18 years into the reign of King Jeroboam, King of Israel.  Backing up 18 yrs gives the beginning of the reign of Jeroboam.
 

3272 minus 18 yrs is 3254, which is one year before the death of Solomon.  The years are rounded so we will call the year of the rise of Jeroboam as being the same year as the rise of Rehoboam.

2 Chron 13:1-2  Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

Twenty Seven years into the reign of Jeroboam, Azariah began his reign over Judah.  He was sixteen years old and he reigned over Judah for 52 years.

2 Kings 15:8  In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

38 years into the reign of Azariah, King of Judah, was the beginning of a six month reign of Zachariah over Israel, in Samaria.

Zachariah was the son of Jeroboam.

2 Kings 15:23  In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.

50 years into the reign of Azariah, King of Judah, was the beginning of the two year reign of Pekahiah over Israel, in Samaria.

Pekahiah was the son of Menehem.

2 Kings 15:27  In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.

52 years into the reign of Azariah, King of Judah, was the beginning of the 20 year reign of Pekah over Israel, in Samaria.

2 Kings 15:2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

Azariah died after reigning over Judah for 52 years

Beginning of the reign of Jotham, son of Azariah, King of Judah

2 Kings 16:1-2  In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

2 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

Ahaz began his 16 year reign over Judah in the seventeenth year of the reign of Pekah, King over Israel.

2 Kings 15:27  In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.

Pekah reigned over Israel for 20 years.

2 Kings 17:1
17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

2 Kings 16:2  Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

2 Kings 16:20  And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

Ahaz reigned 16 years over Judah.

2 Kings 16:20  And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.

Hezekiah begins his 29 year reign over Judah.

Notice that 2 Kings 18:1 says that Hezekiah came to power 3 years after Hoshea began his reign in Israel.  Ahaz' reign shows to have started 3303 years after creation.  The years have been rounded off and still fall within a 1 year tolerance.

2 Kings 17:1
17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

Death of Hoshea, King over Judah.

2 Chron 32:33  And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

Amon, son of Manasseh, begins his 2 year reign over Judah.

2 Chron 33:21-25

21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

22 But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

23 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

25 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

Amon was slain by his own servants 2 years after he came to power.

The servants who killed Amon were put to death and the people made Josiah, Amon son, King over Judah.

2 Chron 33:25  But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

2 Chron 34:1   Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

Josiah was made King over Judah by the people.  He reigned for 31 years.  Josiah died in a battle against Phaoah Necho of Egypt. 2 Chronicles 35:22-24

2 Chron 34:1   Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

2 Chron 35:23-24
23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.

24 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

The King of Egypt placed Eliakim, brother of Jehoahaz, King of Judah and changed his name to Jehoiakim. 

His name was changed to Jehoiakim

2 Chron 36:5

5 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.

King Nebuchadnezzar, of Babylon, enslaved him and carried him to Babylon. 

Jer 52:12  Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

King Nebuchadrezzar begins his reign over Babylon 19 years before the End of the reign of Zedekiah

Nebuchadrezzar / Nebuchadnezzar are the same person.  His name was rendered with two different spellings in the .

King Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the temple after Zedekiah revolted and was dethroned.  The date of Nebuchadnezzar's ascension to the throne of Babylon is nineteen years before the overthrow of Zedekiah.

This is when Daniel was imprisoned and taken to Babylon.

Dan 2:1
2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.

Two years into the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, he started having his dreams.

2 Kings 25:1-2

25:1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.

2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

2 Chron 36:5  Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.

2 Chron 36:6   Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

2 Chron 36:7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

2 Kings 24:6  So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

Jehoiakim reigned for 11 years and was enslaved/imprisoned in Babylon.

Nebuchadnezzar replaced him on the throne with his son, Jehoiachin.

2 Chron 36:8-9  Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

After Jehoiakim was carried away to Babylon, his son, Jehoiachin, was placed in power at the tender age of 8 years old. 

He ruled for the rest of that year which was 3 months and ten days.

2 Chron 36:9-10

9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

Jehoiachin was allowed to rule until the years end when he was brought to Babylon.

Zedekiah, his brother was made King over Judah in his place.

King Nebuchadnezzar was obviously unhappy with the performance of Jehoiachin.

Jehoiachin remained in prison, in Babylon until Nebuchadnezzar's successor came to power.

2 Chron 36:10-11

10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

11 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

Zedekiah was placed on the throne of Judah by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.  He reigned 11 years.

2 Chron 36:11  Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

Jer 52:4-5  4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

Zedekiah rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar and was besieged and defeated 11 years after he was placed on the throne by the King of Babylon.

Jerusalem was besieged for over a year and was then destroyed and the temple was burned.

Jer 52:12-13

12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

Assuming the house of the Lord was burned the same year that Zedekiah fell to the King of Babylon. 

This also marks Nebuchadrezzar as having been on the throne for 19 years.  The beginning of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar would then be 3488 years after the creation.

Jer 52:30  In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

23 years into Nebuchadrezzar's reign he enslaved an additional 745 Israelities making the total 4600.

Begin the reign of Evil-merodach, King over Babylon

Jer 52:31  And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

Nebuchadnezzar died 37 years after he imprisoned Jehoiachin

Evil-merodach begins his reign over Babylon in the 37th year of Jehoiachin's captivity by Nebuchadnezzar.

Jehoiachin, King of Judah is released from Babylonian prison.

Ezra 1:1-2Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

 

Cyrus the Great issued the decree to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem.  This was 70 years after the initial overthrow and imprisonment of Jews by Nebuchadnezzar.

Jer 25:12  And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

Jer 29:10  For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

Ezra 1:2  Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

2 Chron 36:20-21  And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

70 years after the invasion of Nebuchadnezzar when Jehoiakim was enslaved and replaced with his son Jehoiachin, Cyrus, King of Persia marked the end of the Babylonian captivity by announcing his intention to rebuild the temple at Jerusalem.

The end of the Babylonian captivity is associated with the time when Persia conquered Babylon.  2 Chron 36:20-21

Ezra 3:8  Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.

Two years after the end of the Babylonian Captivity, the rebuilding of the temple began.

Ezra 4:23-24

23 Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.

24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

 

The rebuilding of the temple was stopped until the second year of the reign of Darius, King of Persia.

A letter from Artaxerxes was read to Rehum and Shimshai which caused this to take place.

3556?

We do not know how long they worked on the temple before they were stopped. 

This date is an estimate.

Ezra 6:15  And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.


 

The temple was finished in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the Great (Hystaspes)

Ezra 7:7  And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

 

Seven years into the reign of Artaxerxes Ezra was sent to work on the temple.

Nehemiah 2:1
And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.

Nehemiah 2:5
And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.

Nehemiah 2:8
And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

 

Twenty years into the reign of Artaxerxes Nehemiah was sent to work on the walls of Jerusalem .

Daniel 11:3-4
And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

Luke 3:21-23

21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

Jesus was about 33 yrs old when He was crucified.  So His baptism at about 30 years of age places it around 3 years prior to His execution.

Daniel 12:11
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
