Recently been studying, Age of Mankind (Earth; Chronology) in scripture, history.

A related topic is the ECF who were YEC, as seen here -

Adam (Genesis 1:26-31, 2:7,8,15-25) is the 'first man' (1 Corinthians 15:45,47; Luk 3:38), who was 'made' 'in the beginning' (Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6), and he was made in the 6th day before the 7th Day (Mark 2:27). 'All the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years' (Genesis 5:5). We do not know the exact age when Adam had Cain and Abel, but we are given the age of Adam when he had Seth, being at 130 years old (Genesis 5:3) who came after Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:25).
 
Beginning with Adam, using AM (Anno Mundi; Latin for Year of the World):
 
0000 - 0000 - Adam (930) + 130 (Seth; Gen. 5:4; Luk 3:38) + 800 (died; Gen 5:4)
0000 - ???? - Cain (??? born) (??? died; Rom 6:3; Heb 9:27)
0000 - ???? - Abel (??? born) (??? died; Gen 4:8)
0000 - 0130 - Seth (912) (Gen 4:25; Luk 3:38) + 105 (Enos; Gen 5:5; Luk 3:38) + 807 (died; Gen 5:8)
0000 - ???? - wife of Cain, daughter of Adam/Eve (??? born; Gen 5:4) (??? died; Rom 6:3; Heb 9:27)
0130 - 0235 - Enos (905) (Gen 4:26; Luk 3:38) + 90 (Cainan; Gen 5:9; Luk 3:37) + 815 (died; Gen 5:11)
0235 - 0325 - Cainan (910) (Gen 5:9; Luk 3:37) + 70 (Mahalaleel; Gen 5:12; Luk 3:37) + 840 (died; Gen 5:14)
0325 - 0395 - Mahalaleel (895) (Gen 5:12; Luk 3:37) + 65 (Jared; Gen 5:15; Luk 3:37) + 830 (died; Gen 5:16)
0395 - 0460 - Jared (962) (Gen 5:15; Luk 3:37) + 162 (Enoch; Gen 55:18; Luk 3:37) + 800 (died; Gen 5:20)
0460 - 0622 - Enoch (365) (Gen 5:18; Luk 3:37) + 65 (Methuselah; Gen 5:21; Luk 3:37) + 300 (trans.; Gen. 5:24)
0622 - 0687 - Methuselah (969) (Gen 5:21; Luk 3:37) + 187 (Lamech; Gen 5:25; Luk 3:36) + 782 (died; Gen 5:27)
0687 - 0874 - Lamech (777) (Gen 5:25; Luk 3:36) + 182 (Noah; Gen 5:28,29; Luk 3:36) + 595 (died; Gen 5:31)
0874 - 1056 - Noah (950) (Gen 5:28,29; Luk 3:36) + 500 (Gen 5:32) + 100 (Gen 7:6,11) + 350 (died; Gen 9:28,29)
1056 - 1656 - Flood (600th year of Noah's life; 2nd month; 17th day; Gen 7:6,11)
 
Flood – Year (AM 1656; or 600th year of Noah's life), Month (2nd), Day (17th) Gen 7:6,11.
 
1656 - 1657 – Flood (AM 1656, 2nd, 17th + 40 days/nights (Gen 7:12,17) + 150 days (Gen 7:24, 8:3) = Ark resting on Mts. Of Ararat (Gen 8:4; AM 1656, 7th, 17th) + water decreases 73-75 days (Gen 8:5; exclusive-inclusive; 30 day months; AM 1656, 10th, 1st) + 40 days, Noah opens window (Gen 8:6; AM 1656, 11th, 11th) + 35 days (calculated) waiting for Raven, sends Dove (Gen 8:7,8) + 7 days wait (Gen 8:10) + 7 more days wait (Gen 8:12) = 601st, 1st, 1st (Gen 8:13) wherein Noah removes covering, and waits + 56-57 days (exclusive-inclusive) until = 601st, 2nd, 27th = AM 1657 2nd, 27th (Gen 8:14-16) when Noah leaves the Ark.
 
Noah was 600 Years old when the Flood came, and he was 601 when he left the Ark. We have texts which shows that Noah had three sons (Gen 5:32, 6:10) sometime at and after the 500th year of his life, and before the 600th year of his life (when the flood came). Therefore, we have a 100 year time span in which Noah had Shem, Ham and Japheth.
 
Japheth is the oldest, as he is listed first in giving of the lineage (Gen 10:2-5), afterward came Ham (Gen 10:6-20) and finally Shem (Gen 10:21), and the other passages are given in reverse order. How old then was Noah when Shem was born, since that is through whom the genealogy continues in Luk 3:36?
 
Genesis 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
 
This places the birth of Arphaxad, in the year 1656 + 1 year (flood; 370 ish days) + 2 (years after the flood) = AM 1659.
 
This places Shem at 100 in the year AM 1659.
This places Shem at 99 in the year AM 1658.
This places Shem at 98 in the year AM 1657 (end of the flood).
This places Shem at 97 in the year AM 1656 (year of the flood).
This places Shem at birth in the year AM 1559.
This would place Ham at birth in the year AM 1557/8 (501st - 502nd year of Noah).
This would place Japheth at birth in the year AM 1556 (500th year of Noah; 1056 + 500).

Beginning with Noah:

0874 - 1056 - Noah (950) (Gen 5:28,29; Luk 3:36) + 500 (Gen 5:32) + 100 (Gen 7:6,11; +3, Shem; Gen 11:10, +97) + 350 (died; Gen 9:28,29)

1056 - 1559 - Shem (600) (Gen 5:32, 7:6,11, 11:10) + 100 (Arphaxad; Gen 11:10; Luk 3:36) + 500 (died; Gen 11:11)

1559 - 1659 - Arphaxad (438) (Gen 11:10; Luk 3:36) + 35 (Salah; Gen 11:12; Luk 3:35) + 403 (died; Gen 11:13)

???? - ???? - Cainan (Luk 3:35) (several possibilities, none of which are error, neither scribal error, *)

1659 - 1694 - Salah (433) (Gen 11:12; Luk 3:35) + 30 (Eber; Gen 11:14; Luk 3:35) + 403 (died; Gen 11:15)

1694 - 1724 - Eber (464) (Gen 11:14; Luk 3:35) + 34 (Peleg; Gen 11:16; Luk 3:35) + 430 (died; Gen 11:17)

1724 - 1758 - Peleg (239) (Gen 11:16; Luk 3:35) + 30 (Reu; Gen 11:18; Luk 3:35) + 209 (died; Gen 11:19)

1758 - 1788 - Reu (239) (Gen 11:18; Luk 3:35) + 32 (Serug; Gen 11:20; Luk 3:35) + 207 (died; Gen 11:21)

1788 - 1820 - Serug (230) (Gen 11:20; Luk 3:35) + 30 (Nahor; Gen 11:22; Luk 3:34) + 200 (died; Gen 11:23)

1820 - 1850 - Nahor (148) (Gen 11:22; Luk 3:34) + 29 (Terah; Gen 11:24; Luk 3:34) + 119 (died; Gen 11:25)

1850 - 1879 - Terah (205) (Gen 11:24; Luk 3:34) + 130 (Abram; Gen 11:32, 12:4; Acts 7:2-4) + 75 (died; Gen 11:32)

In the text of Genesis 11:26, we read:

Genesis 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

This text, is like unto Genesis 11:10, in that it is not saying that Abraham was born in the 70th year of Terah, for we know this by comparing text with text in scripture. For instance:

Genesis 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

Genesis 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

Genesis 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

This is repeated in Acts 7:

Acts 7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

Acts 7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

Acts 7:4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

Combining Genesis 11:32, with Genesis 12:4, with Acts 7:4, we come to understand that Abram was 75 years old when Terah died at 205. This would place the birth of Abram at 130th year of Terah. If we use a similar approach here, as that of Shem, Ham and Japheth, then it is likely that Haran was the firstborn, and first to die young (Gen 11:28), as it mentions no wives of his, and then the second would be Nahor, followed by Abram, who both take wives after the death of their elder brother Haran (Gen 11:29) in Ur of the Chaldees.

I usually do not follow such links, but after scanning with Virus Total, and it was clean I took a look at it.  Looks like you just started.  :)  Perhaps my own study will help yours.  I also prefer a Left to Right chronology rather than a top to down, but that is just preference.

2009 - 2095 - Ishmael (137) (Gen 16:15-16) + 13 (circumcised; Gen 17:25; AM 2108) + 124 (died; Gen 25:17; AM 2232); Abram was 75 in leaving Haran (Gen 12:4), and Gen 16:3 says that he dwelt 10 years in the land of promise (Canaan), making him 85, when Sarai gave Hagar to Abram (Gen 16:3), and 9 months (pregnancy) later (round 1 year), making Abram 86 (Gen 16:16) at the birth of Ishmael, and Ishmael dying at AM 2232.

2009 - 2109 - Isaac (180) (Gen 17:21, 18:10, 21:2-3,5; Luk 3:34; Acts 7:8; Ishmael is now 14; Gen 17:25; AM 2108) + 8 days (circumcised; Gen 21:4; Acts 7:8) + 40 (Rebekah as wife; Gen 25:20; AM 2149) + 20 (birth of twins, Esau and Jacob; Isaac is 60; Gen 25:26; Acts 7:8; and Ishmael is 74; Gen 17:25; AM 2169) + 120 (died; Gen 35:28-29; AM 2289)

2109 - 2169 - Jacob (147) (Isaac is 60; Gen 25:26; Mat 1:2; Luk 3:34; Acts 7:8) (Jacob grows up, and lives as a 'plain man' 'dwelling in tents'; Gen 25:27' and there is a famine in the land; Gen 26:1, and Isaac then dwells in Gerar, “a long time”; Gen 26:8; and lives another “year” there, Gen 26:12, and afterward moves to the “valley of Gerar”; Gen 26:17; then moves to Rehoboth and Beersheba; Gen 26:23; and Esau is “forty” (40) years old at this time (making Isaac, 60 (40+20) + 40 = 100; AM 2209 (80 years left for Isaac)) and marries Judith and Bashemath, which makes Jacob, his twin, also 40 at that same time (AM 2209)) + X (and then the scripture says, “it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see”; Gen 27:1; which is like unto Israel (147) in Gen 48:10; and Eli (98), in 1 Sam 4:15, but many years had passed, and Jacob then goes to Padanaram; Syria & Laban; Gen 28:5) + 30 days (abides with Laban; Gen 29:14) + 7 (Leah; Gen 29:27; 31:41) + 1 week (Gen 29:27-28) + 7 (Rachel, though she was given that night after the 1 week with Leah; Gen 29:18-21,28,30, 31:41; Hos 12:12; and Rachel was barren for 14 years in which many children were born to Jacob ((Leah) Reuben – Gen 29:32; (Leah) Simeon – Gen 29:33; (Leah) Levi – Gen 29:34; (Leah) – Judah – Gen 29:35; (Bilhah) – Dan - Gen 30:6; (Bilhah) – Naphtali – Gen 30:8; (Zilpah) – Gad – Gen 30:11; (Zilpah) – Asher – Gen 30:13; (Leah) – Issachar – Gen 30:18; (Leah) – Zebulun – Gen 30:20; (Leah) – Dinah (daughter) – Gen 30:21) and finally Joseph; at the end of Rachel's 7 years, making it 14 years total (10 boys and 1 girl, 11 total in 14 years) when Joseph is born; Gen 30:24; Acts 7:8; AM 2260; making Jacob 91 years old) + 6 (working for flocks; Gen 30:28; (flocks producing about every 5 months; Gen 30:39, 31:41) 20 years total working for Laban; Gen 31:38,41; AM 2266) + 11 (coat of many colours; Joseph is 17 years old; Gen 37:2-3) + 11 (years Joseph as a slave) + 2 (years of Joseph in Egypt, serving Potiphar; Gen 39:1 and keeper of the prison; Gen 39:21-22, before famine; Dreams of Pharaoh; Gen 41:1; Joseph is 30 when before Pharaoh; Gen 41:46) + 7 (plenty; Gen 41:29,53) + 2 (famine (5 left); Gen 41:30, 45:6; Jacob meets Pharaoh at age 130; Gen 47:9, 50:22; Exo 1:1; Jos 24:4; 1 Sam 12:8; Psa 105:23; this means that since Isaac was 60 when Esau/Jacob was born, Gen 25:26; Acts 7:8; AM 2169, and Esau/Jacob is now 130 (AM 2299), and Isaac only lived to 180; that Esau/Jacob buried their father 10 years earlier; Gen 35:28-29; AM 2289) + 5 (remaining famine; Gen 41:30, 45:6) + 12 (died; Gen 47:28, 49:33; Acts 7:15; AM 2316)

Death of Jacob (AM 2316; Jacob is 147) – 12 (AM 2304) – 5 (AM 2299; Jacob is 130) – 2 (AM 2297) – 7 (AM 2290) – 2 (AM 2288; Joseph is 30) – 11 (AM 2277; Joseph is 17) – 11 (AM 2266) – 6 (AM 2260; Joseph is born) = 56 years from 147 years total = 91 years of age when Joseph was born to Jacob.

2169 - 2260 - Joseph (110) (finally Joseph; at the end of Rachel's 7 years, making it 14 years total (10 boys and 1 girl, 11 total in 14 years) when Joseph is born; Gen 30:24; Acts 7:8; AM 2260; making Jacob 91 years old) + 17 (coat of many colours; Gen 37:2-3) + 11 (years as a slave) + 2 (years in Egypt, serving Potiphar; Gen 39:1 and keeper of the prison; Gen 39:21-22, before famine; Dreams of Pharaoh; Gen 41:1; Joseph is 30 when before Pharaoh; Gen 41:46) + 7 (plenty; Gen 41:29,53) + 2 (famine (5 left); Gen 41:30, 45:6; Jacob meets Pharaoh at age 130; Gen 47:9) + 5 (remaining famine; Gen 41:30, 45:6) + 66 (died; Gen 50:22,26; Exo 1:6; AM 2370)

When Jacob meets Pharaoh, it is the year AM 2299, and this is the year that Jacob/Israel and his sons (the tribes of) went down into Egypt and 'sojourned' there.

Genesis 46:1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.

Genesis 46:2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

Genesis 46:3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:

Genesis 46:4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.

Genesis 46:5 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

Genesis 46:6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:

Genesis 46:7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

Genesis 46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;

Genesis 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.

Genesis 47:1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.

Genesis 47:2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.

Genesis 47:3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.

Genesis 47:4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

Genesis 47:5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:

Genesis 47:6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.

Genesis 47:7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

Genesis 47:8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?

Genesis 47:9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

Genesis 47:10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.

Genesis 47:11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

Genesis 47:12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.

Genesis 47:29 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

Genesis 50:22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

Now let's see what other information we can glean, since the ages of persons basically ceases with Joseph:

Exodus 12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

Exodus 12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

We have further confirmation of the 400+ year time span (400 years of being entreated evil, and the first 30 of being treated with kindness because of Joseph), as God had foretold this to Abraham:

Genesis 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

Genesis 15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

Acts 7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.

Acts 7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Genesis 47:4 proves that the famine in the land of Canaan was already in its second year (Genesis 41:30, 45:6; at which time Jacob was 130 years of age; Genesis 47:9; AM 2299), and Genesis 46:4 shows that it was God who commanded Jacob/Israel to go into Egypt, and that God would be with Him entering in, and leaving (with his children), for a promise of the future was given to Abraham, that the Egyptians would “afflict them” (Genesis 15:13), and “entreat them evil four hundred years” (Acts 7:6). Yet we know that Jacob/Israel and his children were not entreated evil or afflicted at the first (30 years), but received welcome into Egypt on behalf of Joseph by command of Pharaoh (Genesis 47:6,11,29, 50:22). It was only after the famine of 7 years was over (Genesis 41:30, 45:6; AM 2304), and after Jacob/Israel died (17 years later from speaking to Pharaoh, at the age of 147; Genesis 47:28, 49:33; Acts 7:15; AM 2316) and a few more years (AM 2329), that a change slowly began to take place, and all the moreso when Joseph himself died (Genesis 50:22,26; Exodus 1:6; AM 2370) and a new Pharaoh arose (Exodus 1:8-14). A slow transition had taken place, and didn't all take place in a day.

Therefore, if we take the date at which Jacob/Israel stood before Pharaoh (at age 130; Gen 47:9; AM 2299) and was invited into the land of Egypt, along with all his household, we can simply add the 430 years (Exodus 12:40-41; Galatians 3:17) to that date. AM 2299 + 430 = AM 2729, for the coming out of Egypt, “even the selfsame day” (Exodus 12:41).

From the time that Israel (the peoples) left from out of Egypt (AM 2729) unto the building of Solomon's Temple is 480 more years. AM 3209:

1 Kings 16:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

Side note on Aaron:

???? - 2646 - Aaron (123) (died; Numbers 33:38-39; AM 2769)

Since Aaron was 123 years old in the 40th year (AM 2769) after leaving Egypt (AM 2729), we subtract 123 from AM 2769, to come to AM 2646 for his birth, and add 83 years to come to his (and Moses') speaking with Pharaoh (AM 2729) right before they left Egypt.

Aaron lives in Egypt for 43 years (when Moses leaves), and another 40 years, and then along with Moses who returned after 40 years in the wilderness, speaks to Pharaoh at 83 (when Moses returns at 80, having lived in Egypt for 40 years, and apart from Egypt for 40 years), and leaves Egypt at 83 (Moses at 80), and wanders 40 years in the wilderness dying at 123 (Moses 120).

We do not know the age of Amram when siring Aaron, but we do know that Amram lived to be 137 years old (Exo 6:20), and that Aaron was older than Moses by 3 years (Num 33:38-39; Deut 34:7). Kohath, father of Amram, lived 133 years (Exo 6:18), and Levi, father of Kohath, lived 137 years (Exo 6:16).

Exodus 7:7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.

Numbers 33:38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.

Numbers 33:39 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.

Side note on Moses:

???? - 2649 - Moses (120) (died; Deut 345-7; AM 2769)

Moses leaves at 40 years of age. Returns to Pharaoh at 80, and leaves Egypt at 80, and wanders 40 years in the wilderness dying at 120. We know that Moses was 3 years younger, or was born 3 years after, Aaron (Exo 7:7; Num 33:38-39; Deut 34:5-7).

We do not know the age of Amram when siring Moses (except to say that it was Aaron + 3), but we do know that Amram lived to be 137 years old (Exo 6:20), and that Aaron was older than Moses by 3 years (Num 33:38-39; Deut 34:7). Kohath, father of Amram, lived 133 years (Exo 6:18), and Levi, father of Kohath, lived 137 years (Exo 6:16).

Exodus 7:7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.

Deuteronomy 34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.

Deuteronomy 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.

Deuteronomy 34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

Side note on Saul:

1 Samuel 10:1 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?

1 Samuel 10:24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.

1 Samuel 11:14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.

1 Samuel 11:15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

1 Samuel 12:1 And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.

1 Samuel 13:1 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,

Acts 13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

AM 3125 - Saul reigned - AM 3165 (Ishbosheth, Saul's son, was 40 years old, and co-reigned, in a sense (Israel followed Ishbosheth, but Judah followed) with David, 2 Sam 2:10, for 2 years, and then died, so we do not add 2 years between King Saul and King David, but they are included in King David's reign, which become retroactively applied later to the counting of David's reign over Israel.)

Side note on David:

2 Samuel 2:11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.

2 Samuel 5:4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

1 Kings 2:11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 29:26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

1 Chronicles 29:27 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

David was 30 years old (AM 3165) when he began to reign, and he reigned 40 years, making him 70 years old when he died (AM 3205), and working backwards from Solomon's 4th year of reign when he began to build the Temple (AM 3209), which was 480 years from the coming out of Egypt (AM 2729). We do not know how old Jesse was, when David was born, but we do know that David was the youngest (1 Sam 17:14).

???? - 3135 - David (70) (2 Sam 5:4; 1 Ki 2:11) (died; AM 3205)

AM 3165 - David's reign - AM 3205

Now we can look at the time of the building of the Temple to the Captivity, beginning with Solomon:

1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

Thus we begin Solomon's 4th year in AM 3209. Solomon reigned for 40 years in Israel, thus we would add 36 years; AM 3245:

AM 3205 - Solomon's reign - AM 3245

1 Kings 11:42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

1 Kings 11:43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

2 Chronicles 12:13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

Abijah; reigned 3 years (2 Chr 13:2)

AM 3262 - Abijah's reign - AM 3265

1 Kings 14:31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles 13:2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

Asa; reigned 41 years (2 Chr 16:13)

AM 3265 - Asa reigned - AM 3306

1 Kings 15:8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles 14:1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

2 Chronicles 16:13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

Jehoshaphat; reigned 25 years (1 Ki 22:42; 2 Chr 20:31)

AM 3306 - Jehoshaphat reigned - AM 3331

1 Kings 15:24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

1 Kings 22:42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

2 Chronicles 17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

2 Chronicles 20:31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

Jehoram; reigned 8 years (2 Ki 8:16-17; 2 Chr 21:5)

AM 3331 - Jehoram reigned - AM 3339

Ahaziah; reigned 1 year (2 Ki 8:26; 2 Chr 22:2)

AM 3339 - Ahaziah reigned - AM 3340

2 Kings 8:24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

2 Kings 8:25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.

2 Kings 8:26 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

2 Chronicles 22:1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.

2 Chronicles 22:2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.

Athaliah; reigned 6 full years (2 Ki 11:3; 2 Chr 22:12), deposed in the 7th (2 Ki 11:4,21; 2 Chr 23:1), counting only 6 years, giving the 7th year to Joash's reign so as not to double count this year.

AM 3340 - Athaliah reigns - AM 3346/7

2 Kings 11:1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

2 Kings 11:2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

2 Kings 11:3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

2 Kings 11:4 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and shewed them the king's son.

2 Kings 11:12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.

2 Kings 11:13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.

2 Kings 11:14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.

2 Kings 11:15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.

2 Kings 11:16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.

2 Kings 11:21 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.

2 Chronicles 22:10 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

2 Chronicles 22:12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

2 Chronicles 23:1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.

2 Chronicles 23:2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 23:3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.

2 Chronicles 23:11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.

2 Chronicles 23:12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:

2 Chronicles 23:13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.

2 Chronicles 23:14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.

2 Chronicles 23:15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.
