Who Goes Where?

Trying to understand the royal lines and prophets of Israel and Judah can get confusing. Hopefully,
this chart will alleviate some of those problems. Included with each monarch are his succession
number, the starting date and length of his reign, whether he was good or evil (+, -), the passages
in which he is found, and the big events and/or prophets of his time. Finally, because Judah is the
surviving nation of the two, the chart favors its monarchs, as it is divided into eras of their rule.
