This examination of various chronological difficulties presented in the Old Testament Scriptures covered the period from Abraham to Solomon. For any Scripture student the timeline across this period was difficult to determine. These time puzzles were resolved by using a much different approach than others have employed. The application of neglected and under appreciated text filled in more than 135 people, their life spans, and event years to bridge from Abraham to Solomon. Rethinking Chronology from Abraham to Solomon presented numerous small details and applied some unique Biblical tools that verified the years stated in 1 Kings 6:1.
The time placement for the book of Job and of its primary characters were detailed, their lineages were shown, and the author of the book of Job was presented. Six methods established the length of time that the twelve tribes of Israel dwelt in Egypt. Joshua's year of death was shown to fit within a four year window. The time period of the elders who outlived Joshua was detailed. So were the time placements for twelve judges named in the book of Judges plus two named in 1 Samuel. David's great-great-grandmother was presented and the very narrow period for the book of Ruth was shown along with its two special purposes.
The birth year of Samuel, Eli and king Saul was established and many more contemporary individuals were set in time. And Jephthah's careful use of three hundreds of years was explained. This book of 270 pages has over 1,260 Scripture citations, nine tables, and twenty-one footnotes to make the material very understandable. Five indexes including Names With Birth, Death and/or Event Year and a Brief Event Timeline make it very suitable for the curious, the layman, and the scholar. Printable supplemental material is provided online.
