Old Testament Kingdom xReference

This Old Testament kingdom timeline consists of five slides which, when placed end to end, produces a continuous timeline from roughly 1,000 BC to 300 BC. It’s an excellent reference to have handy when reading through the time period of the divided kingdom (1&2 Samuel, 1&2 Kings, 1&2 Chronicles and many of the prophets).

The timeline begins the kingdom of Israel, established under its first king Saul around 1,000 BC. It continues down tracing each king through the subsequent division into North and South, attempting to align them side-by-side according to length of reign.

The right half of each slide is dedicated to the consequential kingdoms of that day. They are ordered left-to-right by when they ‘appeared’ or came to promenance in the Old Testament narrative. Also included are relevant Bible notations highlighting when they were mentioned, or some historical event into which they played. We’ve also included just a few of the more popular artifacts from archeology.

Finally, of note, are the prophets of God. They are indicated in purple, distributed roughly as to their approximate time of prophesying and aligned with their primary nation(s) to which they were called to prophey.

The editable slides are available in Keynote format. Or, we can export them to Powerpoint for you (but can’t promise how they will look). Let us know if you would like to receive the file. You can also right-click on each of the five images in order to download each image file.
