KINGS, PROPHETS, LEADERS & EVENTS
DIVIDED MONARCHY – POSTEXILIC PERIODS


Kings are listed with their reigning years and totals. Co-regency dates overlap (e.g. a father whose son reigned concurrently). Prophets and other personages who either wrote a biblical book or whose names appear as titles of a biblical book are underlined. Israel’s kings who are listed in bold type were noted for their apostasy. Judah’s eight good kings are highlighted in green.
