Chart from recommended resource Jensen's Survey of the OT - used by permission 1 Kings Chart from Charles Swindoll THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL (NOTE: Many consider Amaziah and Hezekiah as "good" kings) SEE ALSO: ESV chart - kings of Israel - more information ESV chart - kings of Judah - more information Another Chart with Variable Dates for Reigns of Kings 1 Kings 22:1 Three years passed without war between Aram and Israel. 1 Kings 22 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passages: 1 Kings 20:34 Ben-hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore, and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” Ahab said, “And I will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go. Three years passed without war between Aram and Israel - Recall that in 1Ki 20:34 Ben-hadad said to Ahab (after Ahab made a covenant with him) "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore, and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria." So for 3 years there was relative peace. Recall that Ahab had a golden opportunity to defeat Syria, but he failed to take advantage of that opportunity and now his failure would come back to haunt him like a boomerang thrown out and returning to hit you in the head!
