Note that 931BC marks the division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes (Judah and Benjamin) and Ten Northern Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware that after the division of the Kingdom in 931BC, the Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as "Judah" and the Northern Kingdom as "Israel." Finally, note that 1 Chronicles 1-9 is not identified on the timeline because these chapters are records of genealogy.

Jeremiah 1:1-3 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, 2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. THE BEGINNING OF A GODLY REIGN Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. Josiah became king at only eight years old, which means he began his reign as a child after the assassination of his father Amon (2Ki 21:23–24). Because of his youth, the early years of his reign were likely guided by counselors, priests, or royal advisors. Yet Scripture later shows that Josiah personally sought the Lord from a young age. Here is a simple summary of the chronology of King Josiah: 640 BC: Began to reign (age 8) (2Ch 34:1+) 632 BC: 8th year (age 16) began to seek God (2Ch 34:3+) 628 BC: 12th year (age 20) began reforms to purge Jerusalem even BEFORE he heard the Book of the Law! (2Ch 34:3+) 627 BC: 13th year - Word of the LORD came through Jeremiah in the 13th year of his reign (Jer 1:2) 622 BC: 18th yr (age 26) discovery of Book of the Law - Covenant Renewal & Passover (2Ki 23:23+ 2Ch 34:8+, 2Ch 35:19+) 612 BC: Nineveh falls - Predicted Zeph 2:13–15+ 609 BC: Nothing recorded age 26 to age 39. Josiah falls asleep. Assyrians defeated at Battle of Carchemish, Babylon rises. A young unnamed prophet from Judah had predicted Josiah's birth, even his name, roughly 300 years before his birth... 1 Kings 13:1-2+ Now behold, there came a man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD, while Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense. 2 He cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, “O altar, altar, thus says the LORD, ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.’” Josiah ruled 31 years (640–609 BC) in Jerusalem, the capital of the southern kingdom of Judah.
