Reign and ministry years follow a single widely-used evangelical regnal chronology (the Thiele/synchronistic framework already used elsewhere on this site — see e.g. David's page), marked “c.” throughout. Other evangelical chronological frameworks shift several of these dates, especially where a co-regency is involved (Uzziah/Jotham, Amaziah/Uzziah, Hezekiah/Manasseh). Every entry cites the verse stating its reign length or ministry's dating; hover, focus, or open the table below for the reference.
