A sweeping chronological reconstruction of Judah’s monarchy through the lens of the Smith Jubilee Formula (SJF), this work reveals how each king’s reign aligns with precise AM-year placements, Jubilee cycle positions, and prophetic markers embedded throughout Scripture. From Saul’s rise in the 58th Jubilee cycle to Zedekiah’s fall in the 68th, this study unfolds the full narrative arc of Judah’s kings with mathematical clarity, showing exactly where every reign sits within the 50-year cycles that structure biblical time.
Drawing from detailed Jubilee-cycle calculations, this volume traces the faithfulness of David, the architectural glory of Solomon, the reforms of Asa and Hezekiah, the revival under Josiah, and the catastrophic decline under Manasseh, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. With each king, the SJF timeline reveals the pattern of obedience, apostasy, judgment, and restoration woven into Judah’s history.
This guide also highlights pivotal events, including the building of the Temple in 2939 AM, Assyria’s failed siege in Hezekiah’s day, Josiah’s rediscovery of the Law, the Egyptian and Babylonian interventions, and the destruction of Jerusalem, all mapped within their exact Jubilee-cycle coordinates. By merging Scripture, chronology, and mathematical validation, The Kings of Judah restores the continuity of the Davidic line and clarifies how Judah’s rise and collapse fulfill prophetic cycles leading into the Exile.
More than historical narrative, this volume is a teaching tool: a complete SJF-based timeline of Judah’s kings, a chronological backbone for biblical study, and a guide for understanding how the monarchy fits into the larger 70-Jubilee framework, from Adam to the Messiah.
