Chronology of Israel's Kings and Prophets: Events In Samuel, Kings & Chronicles

Helped out during Bible study.

Well made can use as visual aid

The media could not be loaded.  Excellent quality helpful materials for bible study

It untangled all the roles of the kings of Israel in both Northern and Southern Kingdoms. Very helpful.

Very well laid out and easy to learn from. A great reference

the information is printed on front and back, which makes it not-good for wall-hanging. the print is too small...

Honestly I was a little disappointed. It is beautiful and well done but not what I was looking for. This is something I have a similar line up in my Bible. I was hoping for more chronological order of other prophets like Nehemiah, Ezra, Hosea etc and lining up with events or kings or if Israel was conquered and by who so I had a better big picture understanding of context when I read it through those prophets. Instead this pamphlet basically lines up the kings and chronicles and highlights Samuel, Elijah, Elisha etc. Things I can easily read and discover in my Bible.

This pamphlet "The Chronology of Israel's Kings and Prophets" is a must for anyone studying the Old Testament. As a student of the Bible, the New Testament was always easier for me. First and Second Kings and First and Second Chronicles seemed repetitive and confusing. The Old Testament books labeled the Major and Minor Prophets took more historical training. When I studied the Divided Kingdom, I was a novice and struggled to line up the prophets and the kings with the Upper and Lower Kingdom. The fact that different prophets could serve different kings during the same time period was the key to make a timeline. As a participant in Community Bible Study, I enjoyed entering pertinent facts on a table or chart. Trying to make create my own chart was time-consuming and tedious. When I became a bible study teacher, I searched for a resource to share with others. Hendrickson Publishers and Rose Publishing have the perfect tool: "The Chronology of Israel's Kings and Prophets." The facts are organized in a clear and concise manner throughout this pamphlet using a color. Starting with the book of First Samuel the people demanded a king. Saul and David were anointed by Samuel, chosen by God. Prophets names are written in red. The key events for the King and Prophets are listed in the table with the chapter of the book included. The reign of King Saul is noted with a yellow stripe running vertically on the chart. The reign of King David is shown with the dark green band and King Solomon is denoted with the lighter green band. After the death of Solomon, the kingdom was divided, his descendants ruling Judah in the south and other kings ruling Israel in the North. The color key for the Divided Kingdom: PROPHETS are in red; KINGS OF ISRAEL (Northern Kingdom) are in gold; KINGS OF JUDAH (Southern Kingdom) are in blue. Key events are listed by chapter (CH). The boxes sprinkled throughout the pamphlet contain relevant information about the kings and prophets. It was a privilege to review this resource from Hendrickson Publishers and Rose Publishing. I received this PDF for a fair review.
