Dating the Kings and Judges

The chronology of Biblical events is studied in this book to provide a more accurate analysis of events in the Old Testament from the creation of Adam to the captivity of Judah. This covers the book of Genesis through the second Chronicles. A great deal of focus is directed at establishing the correct exodus date and resolving many chronological issues. Supplementary extra-Biblical sacred texts are used. The Egyptian and the Near East historical records are correlated with Biblical events. The first chapter looks at issues that have created bottle necks in chronological analyses for ages. These issues are then resolved in the next three chapters. After resolving the chronological issues, the Hebrew Kings and Judges are dated more accurately than any existing model. There is overwhelming evidence that the exodus occurred earlier than the conventional 1446 BC date. The history of Ancient Egypt around this date does not in any way justify the condition of exodus as described in the Bible. The exodus date is more accurately and convincingly determined to be 1680 BC. The Pharaohs of the exodus and of the era of Joseph and Abraham are determined and analyzed. This prompts the revised dating of the Egyptian kings list. This book provides a lot of data. Over 205 Biblical events from Genesis to Chronicles are dated. 50 regnal dates of Egyptian pharaohs are also revised.
