    **Uzziah's Biblical cross reference says he began in the 27th yr of Jeroboam II : 793. But Josephus says Uzziah's reign began in the 14th year of Jeroboam II - the year 804. Josephus is consistent with the Biblical information EXCEPT in this one spot. Curiously, this single outside reference allows the chart to complete itself.

The hinge used here is 586 BCE, the alleged fall of Judah,
and it places the beginning of the "Divided Kingdom" at 961 BCE.
