Worth mentioning here that "bosheth" was a word inserted into Hebrew religious texts in place of the names of other gods. The word means "shame" - so it is shameful that a king would have the name of a god other than Yahweh incorporated into their name. So the name "Ish-Bosheth" was actually "Ishbaal" or "Eshbaal." "Mephibosheth" was a rewrite of the name "Merib-Baal."
That's very interesting. Thanks for that.
@@Unmannedair The term Ba'al just means "lord." It's a title that could refer to many different gods, including at times, Yahweh. The name Ishbaal means "the lord is great," the lord referred to being Yahweh. It's only much later that authors came to see Ba'al as the name of a false idol or foreign god, and changed names in the bible to remove -baal and add -bosheth.
@@booradley1138 I would love some sources in these comments.
@@bradbowers4414
From the Encyclopedia Britannica article on "Baal Ancient Diety"
"For those early Hebrews, “Baal” designated the Lord of Israel, just as “Baal” farther north designated the Lord of Lebanon or of Ugarit."
From The New International Encyclopædia article on "Baal"
"Jehovah himself was called Baal, and His name was thus associated with the cults at the altars and sanctuaries, which generally were erected on prominent spots, the so-called ‘high places,’ or in groves."
other sources in the wikipedia article. Sorry for multiple replies, it seems there is a word limit on the length of replies and CZcams won't let me post the links.

@@SamAronow true
Canaanite kings too.
I am glad you included Ish-bosheth. Many people skip over him because they assume David took over all of Israel immediately when Saul died.
It's a replacement name anyway, since the name actually means "man of shame"in Hebrew. The name in the original story adapted to the final version of the bible probably had a pagan connotation - some variation of "-Baal" under Phoenician influence is most likely.
This is a fake explaination of Israel they are not white skin they are black

Its recorded that David had a lot of civil warring. With Saul, Ish-bosheth, and Absalom

excited for genealogy of jesus
The genealogy of Jesus is well accounted for in Matthew chapter 1. I think it's the most thoroughly documented genealogy in the Bible. It's just thin on the female side of things, only a few women of note are mentioned.
@Sam Gold You are interpreting the letter wrong. Here is an example from another letter of Hadrian: "The land of Egypt, the praises of which you have been recounting to me, my dear Servianus, I have found to be wholly light-minded, unstable, and blown about by every breath of rumor. There those who worship Serapis are, in fact, Christians, and those who call themselves bishops of Christ are, in fact, devotees of Serapis. There is no chief of the Jewish synagogue, no Samaritan, no Christian presbyter, who is not an astrologer, a soothsayer, or an anointer. Even the Patriarch himself, when he comes to Egypt, is forced by some to worship Serapis, by others to worship Christ."
What it is saying (and what your quote is saying too) is that the worshiping is reversed. I. E., Christians worship Serapis and followers of Serapis worship Jesus, not that Serapis and Jesus are the same. This is pointed out in the last line of the quote, which has the Patriarch worshiping Serapis and Christ as separate entities.
Also, Josephus, a Jewish historian who died 225 years before the Council of Nicaea, has the following quote in The Antiquities of the Jews: "Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day."
Note, he referred to Jesus both as "Jesus" and "Christ", and his followers "Christians".

16:40 "Generally the kings of Judah are presented as being good kings."
If by "generally," you mean eight out of twenty (at most), then yes. The Old Testament authors were still very critical of Judah's monarchy as well. Few kings of the southern kingdom they considered faithful to Yahweh, and even then they usually qualified their assessment (e.g., "This king still did not take down the high places and Asherah poles," etc.).
By Old Testament authors you mean God yes he was critical
@@mysteryjunkie9808 God, yes, and also the men he inspired to write the OT: the major prophets, the minor prophets, the chroniclers, etc. The Bible wasn't created in a vacuum.

I just finished reading Kings and Chronicles today, and I totally agree with you. The author of this video seems very acid and leading ppl to misunderstanding through his opinions, specially when talking about the Jezebel and Athalia.
@@mysteryjunkie9808 Nobody, not even the most extreme religious communities, claims the book of Kings to have been written by god. There were scribes and they formed an opinion about the kings they wrote about.
I cant be the only one who had to keep rewinding, there were so many links and names and cousins and best friends and shit to keep up with. My god, this is going to take hours to digest. Great research. Your approach is perfect balance as well. Respect the books but take the history for what it is.
What you mean, hours how about the 4,000 years since then and nobody’s digested it enough to know the answer. Here’s one for you how old was David when he became King of Judea? And how many did years was he king.

@@KAfa4Christalone wdym?
Yeah like how none of these figures are white! There are multiple verses of ‘our’ prophets letting us know that! But somehow the first man was white which goes bc against all science and basically the truth of the Bible
Hahahahaha nopppppe not by yaself
Being a Christian, I'm just happy he doesn't drag religion though the mud as much as other people.
Chikinbokbok0815 I wholeheartedly agree
Yeah he acknowledges events and their significance and meaning without discrediting Christianity and Judaism as a whole like the some people who say saying the whole thing was made up because of some events being made up or exaggerated. Instead he explains how those story’s were made and how probable those things could have been.
Well that sort of thing doesnt really have place in this type of video. And i'm atheist and have done my fair share of "religion bashing" in my life, but it would just be annoying in this type of video. I do find the historicity of biblical events/characters to be very fascinating (especially since it has shaped the western world so much). I did very much appreciate that he clearified which characters that we have found evidence for outside the bible, seeing that there was so many it's pretty fair to assume that many of the others also were real characters.
I look forward to seeing his video on the lineage of Jesus. It will be interesting to see which people he finds historical proof and records of.
@@simonyeomans5021 Jesus was definitely real, but he did not have superpowers.
Hey mister, I'd just like to say, I LOVE YOU. Your charts are so delicate and informative which I deeply appreciate as a devoted lover of history 💛😭 Thank you so much for your efforts!

@@UsefulCharts And by extention, those link to all European royal families. Also, if you wanted you could somehow end up connecting the spanish royals to the Balthi and Amaling dinasties which would end up linking to Odin... (at least for the Amali, though I suspect the Balthi must have been their distant kin or claimed another god, maybe that of war, since they're mentioned as second in preminence after the Amali).
@@UsefulCharts 40 Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.

The way you splash the full screen images on is really cool, solid addition
I appreciate the hard work and the chart looks amazing. Being an evangelical Christian, I would disagree with your take on many aspects of your description, though I understand your viewpoint. I don't believe this is the forum for debate, however, I would like to point out that there are numerous scholars who disagree with the secular viewpoint of when certain portions of the Bible were written. A lack of archaelogical evidence is not proof of non-existence, Nineveh was thought to be myth for a 150 years until it was discovered, and so it is possible that either evidence hasn't been found yet, or doesn't exist at all.
I would like to stress that I really do enjoy this channel, and your charts, and these videos. Thank you for all your hard work, dedication, and objectivity!
I have a hard time taking seriously the opinions of anyone who fundamentally believes in magic and who is thus determined to interpret the evidence that they see strictly within that magical world view.
@@TacticusPrime that was a really pointless thing to say
@@legogandalf5453 When it comes to questions of truth, the religious have nothing to contribute.
@@TacticusPrime As the video demonstrates (from a secular view, no less), there is historical evidence outside of the Bible for some of the people and events that were described in the video, but as OP said, this is no forum for debate.
@@MrZeusyMoosey That doesn't mean that scholar motivated primarily by religion has anything to contribute to the conversation. A worshipper of Enkidu wouldn't have anything meaningful to contribute to an actual study of the epic of Gilgamesh. They would be hopelessly biased.
Another really informative video! I always appreciate how you're careful to point out what's verified and what's not. I'm also really liking the red line around who you're talking about.
as a christian and a lover of history and science, i love this video because it describes the history of the Israelites in a very satisfying way.
The level of effort to put everything together and explaining events in short is really amazing.
I hope to see such videos based on other civilizations. Keep up the good work! ✌
Very cool. Love the archeological

@@AP-gw2en huh?
On the dreams of zionist son
So many of the scriptures that had previously been mocked and scoffed at has later been confirmed by Archeology... Myself this really says more about those that make claims of myths and legends and presuming the Bible is incorrect when they were simply ignorant. One of those claims was that the Book of Daniel (one of my favorites) was incorrect about Belshazzar that he was mythical and never actually existed and Nabonidus was the last Babylonian king. Then the archeologist spade uncovered the Nabonidus cylinder where he was mentioned by name also making sense of Belshazzar's promise to make who ever interpreted the writing on the wall third ruler instead of second... Well Belshazzar was the second and his father Nabonidus was number one since he was the actual king and coregent with his father.
@@jamesbowman7963 It's not mocking or ignorant, it's just the historical method. There are very strict criteria for what counts as "historical", and for good reason. Nobody is targeting the scriptures for laughs. It's held to the same standards as everything else.
That being said, I hope we find more artifacts confirming what we read in scripture.
@@randairp Wasn't a strict criteria at all it was a presumption presented as historical fact that made claims the Bible was wrong without evidence... Turns out as usual the Bible was right. It was used by scoffers to say the Bible wasn't trustworthy so no they were certainly targeting the scriptures.
The Book of Daniel was vindicated the critic exposed yet again.
I like how half the names early on are perfectly normal names now, and the other half have weird names
It kind of depends if the king was seen as "good" or "bad". People would generally name their sons after righteous kings, but not after evil kings. There are some exceptions, like Menashe, but he shared a name with Joseph's son. And my own name, for some reason. And some of the other names fell into disuse. But I've never met an Ahaz or an Ahab, and I know a number of Hezekiahs and Ezekiels, and Davids and Shlomos (Solomons).
Yes, one of the surer proofs of how much got "invented later on" in the form of the parabolic is the fact that very few people took the names of their imagined forebears. No one ever named their children after any of the patriarchs or their wives? When I scan my brain for early names that got used again later, man, there's not much. That makes no sense. We see Enoch as Hanoch. We do see another Haran. Few and far between, let's say. Name another culture where children weren't given the names of its prominent forebears.
@@thomasraywood679 Perhaps the practice of naming children after forbears is less old than you think. Or perhaps the names have actual meanings, and such meanings would not necessarily be appropriate for another person. Or perhaps the names of the most prominent forbears were considered sacred, and naming a child after them might be seen as sacrilegious, or suggesting that the namesake's shoes could ever be filled.
Or, possibly, the older son and heir often got his own name, still in the lifetime of the proposed namesake, and only the younger children were named after the forbears, and these younger children are not deemed important enough to be mentioned.
By the way, Enoch is properly transliterated as Hanoch, or rather Chanoch, even at its first appearances in Genesis. "Enoch", especially in its Anglicized pronunciation, is unrecognizably wrong.
@@menachemsalomon I know about Enoch and Hanoch being the same or wouldn't have mentioned it. And I stand by the obviation that, no, there are no cultures which do not name their children after their prominent forebears. These are invented names for invented people. That doesn't make the stories not holy.
@@thomasraywood679 But you don't necessarily see many of these names being reused, even when you do get to recorded history. For example, the Talmud recounts names of hundreds of scholars, spanning some 500 years. There are Yitzchaks (Isaac) and Yaakovs (Jacob) and Yosefs (Joseph, as well as Yose/Jose), but I don't recall any Abrahams (though are are Abbas) or Moseses or Aharons or Davids, and of the names of the tribes I remember Simeon, Levi, Judah, and Benjamin, and perhaps Ashi (instead of Asher), but none of the others.
There's even a quip about the name Moses not being found among named scholars until Maimonides, placed on the latter's epitaph: "From Moses to Moses there arose none like Moses." So no, the Israelites and Jews did not reuse names willy nilly. Especially when the prominent previous owner was regarded as sinful, as were most of the kings.
The comment section is a treasure trove of Black Hebrew Israelites and fundamentalist Christians accusing Matt of atheism. I love it.

Dude, if "House of Omri" refers to the dynasty and kingship of Omri, why wouldn't the "House of David" refer to the kingship and dynasty of David? (17:39)
Probably because of some degree of bias....
@@brendanthedreamer
I would be inclined to agree.
David could be considered"legendary", but not "mythological", based on the criteria set forth for Omri.
For the same reason we don't assume that Heracles existed just because the Doric nobility of old called themselves Herakleides.
The historical documents citing Omri are almost contemporary to his supposed period, while those referring to the 'House of David' were written more than a century after his supposed kingdom.
Also, while Omri and his biblical account are compatible with archeological findings, David's account is contradictory with said findings.
That being said, since a reference to a 'house of David' can be found both in Assyrian and Egyptian records, most historians have no problem accepting the fact that a chief called David existed as the founder and ancestors to the king's of Judah, but he would've been a very different character from the one described in the Bible.

This video inspired me to go back to the British Museum to see the Black Obelisk. There are so many things that essentially look like a random stone tablet in the museum that it's easy to overlook such important artifacts so thank you for highlighting this one.
@Terrence Lamar Gantt honestly I wish we would. While I love having everything on my doorstep and understand the argument surrounding artifacts from certain areas needing to be kept safe while there are wars going on, we need to return stuff where its safe to do so.

Now arabs cannot say israel doesn't have history
Can’t say how much I love this. Thank you for doing this. (I much rather watching these charts than reading the lineage in the Bible.)
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The Bible is not written to inform on historical record, it's a religious account and hence emphasizes aspects of religious importance particularly the relationship between man and God. It's a qualitative account.
I’m very well aware that it is a qualitative account. However, I still believe that on reading biblical genealogy, it becomes slightly easier to understand the context. I also agree with what he said about the fact that the portions of the Bible where we receive our information were written about a rival kingdom, and may be distorted. The Bible is an anthology written by numerous people in different time periods. Therefore, it is probably correct to take things with a grain of salt, as the ideas of these people can vary, and time also affects our perceptions.
Thank you for your comment.
@@simonyeomans5021 I see you point. But don't you agree that the same biases could be inherent in archeological evidence. For instance those writings and inscriptions on those stones could also have similar distortions depending on the inscribers positionality. Just because they are old and on stone doesn't make them immune to the biases being only ascribed to the biblical record, no?
@@dataman6744 Of course inscriptions in stones also have biases. All historical records have biases. And i don't think Useful Charts or Simon Yeomans suggested otherwise. The thing is that if someone is mentioned in the bible and also in non-biblical records then it's more safe to assume that it's historical (espesially if dating confirms it's from the time of the event/person). The more different sources you have from different sides, the better.
Dataman, as I do see your point in that there can still be biases in historical and archaeological record, I agree with Kevin Uchiha in that it is safe to have more than one source. This is the same as any research paper. Imagine there is only one reference throughout the whole paper for proof. Would you believe them more or less if they had several other sources? Any or all of the sources could be biased or untrue, however it is best to have many in any situation.

It's a good thing I got my bible opened while watching this. 😊
Probably this type of videos could have been the most boring one.. But the way u narrate makes it so much interesting. I actually watch ur every video..
This is remarkable. Thanks for making these. I am a born again Christian and my knowledge of the Kings of Israel has always been spot lights of information. This take all the spotlights and builds a contiguous history out of them and I'm eating all your videos up. One thing I am REALLY struggling with is the passing statement that Biblical scholars believe Deuteronomy (and parts of the Pentateuch if I recall from other videos) was written much later than claimed, and by several authors at that. That is really really hard to wrap my head around. I don't want to be foolish in any of my understanding, but I take the Bible literally where applicable. I need to dig deeper into that point because I am not there yet. But its amazing work you're doing. Thank you.
As a kid, I would spend my summers before school starts reading the Bible because I was fascinated by the stories in it (and I don't have any other accessible literature at home other than my mother's collection of mystery and detective novels). The books covering the biblical Kings was what intrigued me the most because of how it gave me a strong picture of the politics and intrigue that led to the rise and fall of these figures and their kingdoms. I've long been hoping someone would do a detailed family tree and finally I came across yours, with more information than I ever expected.
Too bad the Bible don't provide a similar family tree since it's hard to follow the stories about whose son ruled for how long and how often they get replaced by a new king and repeat. Heck, some of the rulers listed here were given passing mentions and moved on to the next. lol
Good job and thanks for your hard work. :)
The begats are the tree
The Bible is quite clear about the genealogy. It's all there. You probably skipped those parts as a kid because it's boring.
@@ninagordon4434 Kings was more or less a copy-rinse-repeat kind of book in the Bible as only a few rulers were given highlights what they've done. I didn't question the genealogy cited, but rather there weren't that much detail and attention dedicated to each and every king from the House of David except those given some degree of significance. :)
@@jlhabitan50 That's down to the creator of this video. He lacks that knowledge and the Bible is bogged down with genealogy from the very first book. I am reading Samuel 2 and Chronicles 1 right now and the genealogy and lineage always at the beginning and the end of each book. Sometimes in the middle. This creator is very dismissive of The House of David despite that Jesus came from this lineage. So, he's probably a j3w or Atheist. I said what I said.
@@ninagordon4434 The video actually provided a lot of historical detail that more than makes up for that big gap from the Bible. :)

The messiah already came
@@Arturo-ge9lf Don't worry he not a real one..
So Omri was considered a historical figure because the mention of "the House of Omri" took place a few decades after him but David is not considered a historical figure because the mention of "the House of David" took place over a hundred years after? So "a few dozen years" is valid but "over a hundred years" is not? This seems odd considering these dates were both between 2500 and 3000 years ago.
Even though were dealing with ~3000 years ago, a lot can happen within 100 years. In this case, the archaeological record indicates that a big change did in fact occur between the time that David lived and the time that Omri lived.
@@UsefulCharts Thanks for the reply, Matt.
Believe there may be a typo for Zedekiah, son of Josiah. He is listed in the chart as living/ruling from 697-586, where I believe you may have meant 597-586
Yes.

I am so glad to see this video after reading the Old Testament , it brings all the events and History back and you get a clear picture of what happened during this time in the Old Testament! I wish that you had a biblical Chart on inter-between, the 400 years between Old Testament and the New Testament! I am going to be reading Completed works of Josephus and Philo the Ancient Writers! I will try to find my book called the “internet-between” gives an Historical picture of what went on after Kings Era . If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks 🙏🏽 Linda

It's a good thing I got my bible opened while watching this. 😊
It's interesting how for me all the archeological record is proof that the rest of the Bible account is also true, while for other people if there is no archeological data found - yet - it's proof that it's all legend...
Thank you for your hard work on this chart! Waiting for Jesus' genealogy...
Yeah, personally I like to take a more moderate approach in most things, so I believe that, while the kings before Omri are unverified (that is to say, mentioned in another primary source), it is likely they existed, just that the tales are somewhat exaggerated :) And same, super excited for the Jesus genealogy!!
Look at gobelki tepe and other findings
SO MUCH history is unknown and lost to time either through man made destruction like the sacking of cities and burning of lobraries or natural disasters destroying buildings, wall, statues and so on
I'm sure there were many real interesting things going on before what we know and there were records of people like David and Solomon that are just gone
Some archeological findings are not true and fabrications/exaggerations.
I agree entirely with your view. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
Exactly , why would people inthe bible tell lies one part then add in some true events/ people,then make up all the other names.
Excellent video. It would be nice to see some maps showing the other states that are mentioned (Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, etc).
Jorge Rojas definitely
Although I don't recognize the story of the prophets Solomon and David as legendary, And I don't see the evidence you listed as sufficient of discrediting the kingdom, but it is really interesting to see what is written in the Bible (As I am a Muslim, I highly respect the writings of my Abrahamic Brothers), and their timeline 90% aligns with our Timeline of the leniage of David, I find this video very interesting and Well made and unbaiased, good job as always!

King Solomon is technically more historical than legendary. The First Temple is alternatively known as Solomon's Temple.
People attribute things to legendary characters all the time. This alone doesn't count as good historical evidence.
@@Noam-Bahar I'm pretty sure duke Leto wasn't actually a descendant of the line of Agamemnon and Menelaus.
I disagree. Attribution should be enough. My parents named me Solomon btw, so that is enough attribution for my claim to the temple and Israel.
My dog's name is also grey, so he lays claims to anything of that color.
But presumably a massive construction project, is evidence of SOME form of centralized leadership in Jerusalem. No 'competing' Temple was ever built.
Really a Super and wonderful presentation, very helpful, very clear, concise and absolutely brilliant way of putting out all the most relevant information specially on both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, never seen anything like this .💥💥💥💥💥
It really cleared lot of my doubts about their history , Thank you so much for doing it, May God Bless you and your family .🥰🙏🙏
Given all the twists and turns in this genealogical tree and the predominant lack of extraordinary births (son of a god/holy spirit etc.) I find it unlikely to be a figment of someone's imagination and for the most part I tend to believe the existence of the characters mentioned and their genealogy. Good work btw!
This is the distinction between myth and legend though
Congratulations! Great video and very accurate. As an archaeologist working in the Middle East I’m happy to see your video is so accurate and clear

I highly suggest watching the 3 pattern of evidence documentaries created by Tim Mahoney who review the Exodus and early history of Israel.
Also worth noting are the finds in Qumran (near the Dead Sea). There in jars hidden within a cave are copies of many books of the Bible, including Daniel, proving that they are older than the events recorded.
So well done. Brilliant and well-compiled. I appreciated the archeological comparisons greatly.

Excellent video again, waited for it patiently. Nothing against the other speaker, but I got used to your voice and it fits well with how you explain it. And wow, even dates for the next ones. This will be great, but dont stress yourself of course. :)
Was it just me or did anyone else go mad when Joab kept killing all of the Generals?
Edit: Also if anyone was wondering according to Catholic tradition Nathan (son of David) is thought to be the ancestor of Mary (Mother of Jesus) while Joseph (Jesus' legal father on earth) comes from the line of Solomon.
Edit #2: The Bible (at least the Catholic one) doesn't paint all kings of Judah as good. I actually made a count of all the kings mentioned in the book of Kings the final count came out as 12 bad kings in Judah (Worshiped Idols etc.) and 8 good kings (took down idols and worshiped GOD etc) Asa was actually the first 'good' king mentioned in the bible and all the most of the good kings had a peaceful reign and a long life while the bad ones tended to be king for a shorter time. (Of course with a couple of exceptions)
The RC Douay-Rheims version varies little from most "Protestant" Bibles. You are correct in your comments about Judah having bad examples of kings. One thing the narrator overlooks (actually he overlooks a lot) is the north/Israel was the epicenter of pagan worship. Specifically Mt Hermon and Bashan(Gates of Hades) at its base. All kinds of pagan/demonic worship was happening there. Its also where Jesus and His disciples were standing when He asks Peter the famous question...Who do YOU say I am??
@@Baltic_Hammer6162 might be a little unfair to say that pagan worship was happening exclusively in the northern kingdom though. Archeological evidence leads us to believe that first temple (and pre) Judaism wasn't likely the monotheistic religion the bible portrays anyway and was more likely a henotheistic religion where 1 god was elevated in the pantheon but the others weren't dismissed as non-divine - just very minor deities by comparison. The theory is that both the northern Israelites and the southern judeans operated on those bases with the northern ones favouring the god El and the southerners favouring YHWH. It was the northerners emigrating down to the kingdom of Judea after the Assyrian conquest of Samaria which likely caused the fusion of the two cultures and helped to form second temple Judaism as well as the Samaritan Israelite religion still practiced by the Samaritans (direct descendants of the northern Israelite kingdom) who live in Holon and near their holy mount gerizim today in Israel
@@tzvi7989 I'm not stating the pagan worship was exclusive to the north. There's always overlap with neighboring tribes. Plus there's usually some good sprinkled in, like Lot in Sodom, Noah, etc.
That's a "small t" tradition, to be sure. Though it could easily be true given the number of generations between Mary's generation and David. The differing genealogies of Jesus (or Joseph, biologically) between two of the Gospels are likely both correct, it's just that there really are multiple paths to trace because the lines naturally get tangled up. One hypothesis is that the evangelists walked down different paths because of a popular idea at the time that the Solomonic line was cursed around the time of the exile, so the Messiah wouldn't come from it. Showing the line from Nathan would then be a way to counter that argument, whatever its merit.
its "mi - hal" not "may - kell"
Came here to say this
Most of the Hebrew (as well as other nations') names are harshly mispronounced in English. It's just a linguistic fact, accept it.
@@BiglerSakura never

Make at least one major pronunciation error per video - check ☑️
@@UsefulCharts Well, in the case of Hebrew names it's more a tradition than a mistake. E.g., all Js are Ys in the original (Jonathan should be pronounced Yonatan, Joppa - Yafo etc.)
Okay, so i just found this series and i could listen to you talk about theology all day. Im so grateful to have come across this series. I watched the comments video first and i started at the beginning after that, so i know of your theology history. Do you think you would ever do a series about different religions, their histories, and their beliefs? And different sects of different larger monotheist religions?
Another excellent video! Fantastic, thank you for all your content.
…
After thinking this whilst shaving…I can safely say, that as a child, long ago, I wish I had this video to watch, whilst going to Sunday school.
My Sunday school was run by elderly folks who never went into any of the history of anything, or seemed to care about actually teaching the kids. The history, is what I loved.
I feel this video and many others like it that you produce, should be marketed and used as teaching assistants and made usable to faith study/sunday schools I think giving kids a bedrock of info like this would be beneficial to us all.
The Bible describes some kings as good, some as bad, some as meh. There are 5 truly good Judean king. 5 kings that could be considered meh (a mixed bag).
I think this make the Bible a more reliable source
God tells Samuel in I Samuel chapter 8 that kings are a sacrilegious form of idol worship. So some kings are better than others, but none can be a worthy sovereign like God Himself.
I think when it comes to the history of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, most historians regard it as being mostly reliable once you get past Soloman.
@@bradpara quite odd why a Dynasty called "house of david" will name themselves after someone who didn't exist. i don't think that everything that the bible about David is true, but there was probably such a king.
the fact there isn't an archeological evidences doesn't necessarily means he wasn't exist, just that no archeological evidences haven't found YET.
archeological evidences being discovered all the time.
Y P I said “mostly reliable” as “this stuff happened, though anything involving direct intervention by YHWH should be taken with a grain of salt”
Saul- David- Soloman are seen as true in more of an Arthuresque “ Stuff happened, people did things “ kind of way.
Why is "the chronology of the hebrew bible" video not part of this playlist? I think it should definitely be included
@@norlofthor7088 what?

Hey Matt, I would like to know why you haven't mentioned David with a red tick as well, we do have archeological proof for him in the Tel Dan Stele, which mentions as "House of David" similar to King Omri's case.
Omri is mentioned specifically in multiple contemporary monuments. David is not mentioned specifically but rather the dynasty of David. The Tel Dan is dated 100+ years after David’s reign according to the Bible.
@@Basta11 if the dynasty of David is mentioned then David is mentioned there would be no dynasty without David
It would be cool to see a tree of how people believed they were descended from adam and eve in the bible.
I'll be adding that to this series at some point.

Im really enjoying these videos. Cant wait for the next one.
This channel is amazing!
I really do enjoy these charts. Helps me to get the picture well. It also got me thinking that written documentations are enough to prove history but the Bible characters need multiple witnesses outside it to qualify as historical figures. Whereas people in blue check marks e.g. are often witnesses of their own yet they both are written documents but the other has to go further to prove itself. E.g. Sargon of Akkhad Bible mention wasn't approved until another written document was found. Hm...maybe it's just me. Good videos though.
Not sure if this has already been pointed out by anyone in the comments. But i believe there is a slight typo near the bottom of the chart with Zedekiah son of Josiah. It shows him reigning from 697-586, which is 111 years.
Should it be 597-586 instead?
Otherwise, really great video that has lead me down several research rabbit-holes about this time in middle eastern history.
Good evening. Good and excellent work. Out of curiosity, do you expect to do something similar with the high priests of Israel?
Thank you, Useful Chart, great Teaching, of the Kingdom of Judah and, Isreal., 👏👏👏🙌🙌💡⭐️🌟.
It's great to see this video, especially since recently I got more into this topic thanks to cool Israeli historical CZcamsr Sam Aronow. I very much recommend his channel.
See Dan Stele for extra Biblical reference to house of David, as well as the finds at Khirbet Qaiafa (Shaarayim) which show greater extent of the Davidic period.
I see he used a Finkelstein book as a reference which is a red flag. That guy oozes attitude and he hates anything connected with the Bible. He really goes out of his way to trash any idea that David was anything in Israelite history.
@@Baltic_Hammer6162 tough noogies to Finkelstein, he lost his anti-Judean cred. Main point from Shaaraim and the Arad ostraca is that once you have writing, it's history, not pre-historical myth. Finkelstein is just anti-religious. That's why he's so into the Northern Kingdom. More material goods, more idolatry.
@@chanaheszter168 Ah, makes total sense that he would be attracted to Bashan.
Daniel could not have been written during the Maccabean period (160’s BC) because Daniel was translated into the Septuagint in the 3rd century BC.
Uzziah is also mentioned in extrabiblical sources, as Azaria'u of Ya'uda, in fragmentary Assyrian sources. He's also mentioned in two unprovenanced and controversial seals found in the 19th century.

Thanks a lot for making my Bible study easy& save my time.
Ahab was killed in war against Aram Damascus, not Judah.
6:36 I've heard that the symbolic reigns are something from the masoretic text, which had dates modified when the Maccabees took over to mark themselves as special rulers, while in the septaguant this isn't the case, and the dates are different (and it includes a book of maccabees) I could be wrong but that'd be interesting
Yes, there was a big political debate between the Pharisee Rabbis and the Hasmonean kings (descendants of the Maccabees) over what to include in the official Tanach. The rabbis in the end got their way for the most part (that’s why the books of Maccabees 1 and 2 are not in the Tanach), but the Hasmoneans did edit and censure many texts.
@@shayne-1880 and hellenic jews had the septaguant, right?
