Prophet JOEL (in Judah) "Joel is perhaps the very earliest or the very last or among the last of the writing prophets. This diversity of opinion is due to the fact that there are no direct indications of date in the book itself..." ISBE - "He probably flourished in the reign of Uzziah (about B.C. 800) (Judah), and was contemporary with Amos and Isaiah." Easton, Smith Prophet HOSEA (in Israel) "the prophetic career, of Hosea extended from B.C. 784 to 723, a period of fifty-nine years. The prophecies of Hosea were delivered in the kingdom of Israel" when Jeroboam II was king. (Smith's Bible Dictionary) Hosea was in Israel while Uzziah, Jothan, Ahaz, and Hezekiah ruled Judah. Prophet AMOS (in Judah, to Israel) Amos spoke ca 760 BC while Uzziah's and Jeroboam II's reigns overlaped. International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Prophet ISAIAH (in Judah) "Isaiah must have begun his career a few years before Uzziah's death, probably B.C. 762. He lived till the fourteenth year of Hezekiah, and in all likelihood outlived that monarch (who died B.C. 698), and may have been contemporary for some years with Manasseh. Thus Isaiah may have prophesied for the long period of at least sixty-four years." Easton's Bible Dictionary | ||||||||||

He was contemporary with Hosea and Amos during the part of their ministry in Israel, and with Isaiah in Judah."

| [MANASSEH was] The only son and successor of Hezekiah on the throne of Judah. He was twelve years old when he began to reign (2 Kings 21:1), and he reigned fifty-five years (B.C. 698-643). Though he reigned so long, yet comparatively little is known of this king. His reign was a continuation of that of Ahaz, both in religion and national polity. He early fell under the influence of the heathen court circle, and his reign was characterized by a sad relapse into idolatry with all its vices, showing that the reformation under his father had been to a large extent only superficial (Isaiah 7:10; 2Kings 21:10-15). A systematic and persistent attempt was made, and all too successfully, to banish the worship of Jehovah out of the land. Amid this wide-spread idolatry there were not wanting, however, faithful prophets (Isaiah, Micah) who lifted up their voice in reproof and in warning. But their fidelity only aroused bitter hatred, and a period of cruel persecution against all the friends of the old religion began.... [Easton's Bible Dictionary] | ||||||||||
| Amon | reigned 2 yrs | 2 Ki 21:19 | 2 Ch 33:21 | |||||||
|
[AMON] Son and successor of Manasseh in the throne of Judah ("skillful
in his art", Hebrew). Possibly the name was given by Manasseh, when an
idolater, from the Egyptian god. He reigned from 642 B.C. to 640 (2
Kings 21:19; 2 Chronicles 33:20). His own servants conspired and slew
him in his own house, and in their turn were slain by the people, who
raised his son Josiah to the throne. [Fausset's Bible Dictionary] | ||||||||||

[JOSIAH]
"Healed by Jehovah", or "Jehovah will support". The son of Amon, and
his successor on the throne of Judah (2 Kings 22:1; 2Chr. 34:1). His
history is contained in 2 Kings 22 and 23. He stands foremost among all the kings of the line of David for unswerving loyalty to Jehovah (23:25). [Easton's Bible Dictionary] Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Yahweh given by Moses during Josiah's reign.
| ||||||||||
| Jehoahaz ( Shallum) | (younger son of Josiah) reigned 3mos | 2 Kings 23:30 | 2 Ch 36:2 | | ||||||
| [JEHOAHAZ] Son of Josiah; at his father's death the people took and made him king, 610 B.C., in preference to his two elder brothers, Johanan and Jehoiakim (1 Chronicles 3:15; Jeremiah 22:11; 2 Kings 23:30-31; 2 Kings 23:36; 2 Chronicles 36:2). [Fausset's Bible Dictionary] | ||||||||||
|
Jehoiakim (Eliakim) | (son of Josiah) reigned 11 yrs
| 2 Kings 23:34 | 2 Ch 36:5 | |||||||
| ELIAKIM's route to the throne: On the death of Eliakim's father, JOSIAH, his younger brother JEHOAHAZ (aka SHALLUM, per Jeremiah 22:11) had been made king by the people since he favoured the Chaldeans not the Egyptians. But Egyptian king Pharaoh-necho invaded Judah and deposed Jehoahaz (2 Kings 23:33,34; Jeremiah 22:10-12), setting ELIAKIM on the throne instead, and changing his name to JEHOIAKIM. [from Easton's Bible Dictionary] | ||||||||||
|
Jehoiachin (Jeconiah) | (son of Jehoiakim)(or of Josiah) reigned 3mos (ancestor of Mary's husband Joseph)
| 2 Kings 24:6 | 2 Ch 36:9 | |||||||
| JECONIAH or JEHOIACHIN. Son of Jehoiakim, last but one of Judah's kings. Shortened, by omitting JAH, into CONIAH (Jeremiah 27:20; Jeremiah 22:24). It was virtually Jehovah's declaration of ceasing all connection with him (Hosea 9:12). [Fausset's Bible Dictionary] Matthew 1:11 says Jeconiah was the son of Josiah. | ||||||||||
|
Zedekiah (Mattaniah) | (son of Josiah and Hamutal) reigned 11 yrs
| 2 Kings 24:17 | 2 Ch 36:11 | |||||||
| [ZEDEKIAH was] Judah's last king, 599 to 588 B.C. Youngest son of JOSIAH and Hamutal (Jeremiah 1:3; Jeremiah 37:1), brother to JEHOAHAZ (2 Kings 24:17-18; 2 Kings 23:31). Ten years old when his father died, 21 when he mounted the throne. Originally named Mattaniah; Nebuchadnezzar changed his name to Zedekiah when he deposed Zedekiah's nephew JEHOIACHIN. This proves that Nebuchadnezzar treated his vassal kindly, allowing him to choose a new name (Zedekiah is Hebrew, "righteousness of Jehovah") and confirming it as a mark of his supremacy; this name was to be the pledge of his righteously keeping his covenant with Nebuchadnezzar who made him swear by God (Ezekiel 17:12-16; 2 Chronicles 36:13).
