Biblical account

Monarchs and Biblical chronology

There were four rulers of the United Monarchy – Saul ben Kish (from the association of Benjamin), Ishbaal (name sometimes accounting as Ishboseth due to religious prejudices), a son of Saul, David, son-in-law of Saul through his alliance to Michal and from the association of Judah, and Solomon, son of David and Bathsheba.

King David accustomed Jerusalem as Israel's civic capital; afore then, Hebron had been the basic of David's Judah and Mahanaim of Ishbaal's Israel, and afore that Gibeah had been the basic beneath Saul. Earlier genitalia of the bible announce that Shiloh had been apparent as the civic capital; which, from an archaeological standpoint, is advised plausible, as far as it actuality the religious capital.

For this period, best historians chase either of the earlier chronologies accustomed by William F. Albright or Edwin R. Thiele, or the newer agenda of Gershon Galil, all of which are apparent below. All dates are BCE. Thiele's agenda about corresponds with Galil's agenda beneath with a aberration of at best one year.1
