| Note:
There is one hundred ten (110) year
difference in the Chronology of Usher, and early Bible scholars, from the actual
dates taken of the "Rock of Behistun", showing the
inscription of Daris Hystaspis. Due to this fact, in the Scriptures even
one day into the next year, or of a reign is considered to be a full year.
Approximate date of the fall of the house of Israel started about 745 B.C.
and ended about 722 B.C. The house of Judah continued another hundred and
fifty years after the fall of Israel. Then Judah's seventy years of
Captivity started in Babylon. |
