Adult Sunday School – Judges

This chronological chart covers the major events in the book of Judges. The dates of this period have puzzled generations of Bible scholars, but the scheme worked out by Andrew Steinmann in his article The Mysterious Numbers of the Book of Judges seems to provide a reasonable solution. This chart is adapted from the dates that Steinmann suggests. It assumes the widely accepted date of 970 BC for the beginning of the reign of Solomon, and for the date of the Exodus it uses the numbers found in the Hebrew Bible (1 Kgs 6:1).
