Important Notice

As mentioned in the opening, The King's Calendar Computer Generated Mathematical Synchronous Chronology for the Divided Kingdom of Ancient Israel does not follow standard methods for interpreting Israelite history.

It assigns the value of 336 days per Biblical Year - and - shifts the reigns of 3 kings of Babylon by one year. To further understand the King's Calendar Methodology go to:
