Exodus 1443 B.C., 430 years later. Note that the original Hebrew is to be translated "a son of" 99, which means 99th year, not 99 years old. Hence most translations (or all) err in keeping to "years old" instead of "... the" year. Noah was "a son of 600 years" - i.e., in 600th year when Flood came.
Crossing of Jordan 1403, Tuesday. Passover Nisan 14 occurred Sabbath; wave sheaf ON Nisan 15.
Solomon's reign, 40 years: 968-928.
480th year of Exodus - I Kings 6:1 - was 964-963 B.C., but Solomon's reign began in Tishri which means fourth year began 965-964 B.C.
Therefore David's reign, 40 years = 1008-968. Saul's reign was 1048-1008 B.C.
Exodus date 1443 occurred at end of ninth year, beginning of tenth year of Amenhotep II who reigned jointly two and a half years with Thutmose III. Thutmose III reigned 54 years 1504-1450 B.C. Amenhotep II began to reign in 1453 B.C. Daughter of Thutmose I (a pharaoh) was Hatshepsut, who adopted Moses. She ruled jointly with her nephew Thutmose from 1504 to 1483 B.C. In the year 1483 Moses' stepmother and protector died. This agrees with Moses' flight 40 years before Exodus.

His first year is joint with his father's 17th year and his sole reign began Jeroboam's 27th year (last with half) - the 27th of 52, not 41. (It was the 16th year of Jeroboam's 41-year sole reign.)
(52 years - 803-751 B.C.) He began to reign solely in Amaziah's 15th year (first half). He reckoned his first sole year (of 41) as year 16 of his father on traditional nonaccession year system. But he reigned jointly with his father for 11 previous years, beginning with year five. (Judah's documents number his years according to his joint reign of 52 years.)
Jotham 16 years
Zachariah six months; in the end of 38th year of reign of Uzziah and in sixth month of Jeroboam's last year (41 or 52), he began a six-month reign, 752-751 B.C.

He shared his reign with Ahaz beginning in his ninth year. (Jotham's ninth) and Uzziah's 48th (Uzziah was a non-functioning leper in his late years.)

Ahaz 16 sole years (28 total with joint reign)
Menahem 10 years
731-715 B.C. These 16 years follow Jotham's 20 years. But he reigned totally from 743-715 B.C. He associated on the throne Hezekiah in 729 B.C. So Hezekiah reigned 14 years jointly with his father and 29 years after that or 43 years in all.
Accession year 751-750 (under Assyrian influence accession year adopted in Israel). So reign is 750-740 B.C.

Hoshea's record is based on joint reign of Hezekiah and Ahaz. But the 14th year (702-701 B.C.) is based on sole reign of Hezekiah after the death of Ahaz. The 15 added years are from 701-686 B.C. Hezekiah associated Manasseh on throne in his (Hezekiah's) 19th year - i.e. 697 B.C.

Manasseh reigned 55 years
697-642 B.C, 11 joint with his father.
House of Judah
Amon two years 642-640 B.C.
Josiah 31 years 640-609 B.C., Tishri dating. In year 609 Necho came through Judah and slew Josiah in late summer.
Jehoahaz reigns three months and continues into autumn past Tishri. He is deposed; Jehoiachin reigns ten days before Jehoiakim placed on the throne. Jehoiachin was adopted by Josiah as a son, though he was actually a grandson. He came to the throne early in his eighth year but was removed. Year 609-608 was accession year of Jehoiakim who reigned 11 years officially 608-598/597 B.C. But in his third year 606-605 when Daniel was taken away (Dan. 1:1) after battle of Carchemish, the Babylonians imposed on Judah a Nisan to Nisan year, so fourth year of Jehoiakim began with Nisan 605 B.C. and 11th year ended officially in 597 B.C.
House of Judah
Then Judah at Jerusalem reckoned Nebuchadnezzar as beginning his first year in 605 (the accession year at Babylon). In Babylon, Jews used Babylonian dating from 604 B.C. See Jeremiah 2 for years 7 & 18 = 8 & 19.
Jehoiakim slain early in 11th year is Kislev. Kislev 3 is traditional Jewish calendar dating for Ezekiel's captivity. Babylonians carry Jehoiachin captive on Adar 2 after three months reign 598-597, winter time.
Zedekiah reigns 597-587/586. In 588, January, siege begins and it ends in summer of 587 in early part of 11th year. Jehoiachin released in 561 B.C. in Adar.
Reign of Josiah 640-609 B.C. His 18th year (623-622) was a Jubilee. Jerusalem fell to Nebuchadnezzar in a sabbatical year (588-587). Zedekiah's reign is reckoned from Nisan to Nisan, so fall occurred 587 in the 11th year after a one and a half year siege, B.C.
Please Note: HWALibrary.com does not know who "change of my perspective" is as noted below, all material below this point was not part of the original document by Dr. Hoeh. The "comments" below were left here for reference only.
Comment: This document was typed from a scanned document written by Dr. Hoeh in December 1983. This is not Dr. Hoeh's final version of the chronology of the kings of Judah and Israel. There are notes from a phone conversation with Dr. Hoeh from December 3, 1997 that speak of a kings chronology beginning in 930 B.C.
CHRONOLOGY UPDATE FROM A PHONE CONVERSATION (Dec 1997)
Dr. Hoeh: he is in a position to support a "change of my perspective" of Israel
— can prove date "about" 930 B.C. is a correct date
— Edwin Thiele — first year of Rehoboam was 930 B.C.
- spring to spring not autumn to autumn - cannot move this date up or down - Jews recognized autumn to autumn
Harvard Sem. Monograph #48 "Studies in the Chronology of the Divided Monarchy of Israel" by William Hamilton Barnes Scholars Press 1991 Harvard Univ.
- Kings of Tyre are linked with building of temple — Solomon 1561 (?)
— 1446 date of Exodus — 1406 Jordan crossing — 3983 Creation — 2328 Flood * 2327 end of Flood — 1975 Abraham's birth — 1800 Abraham's death — 6 1/2 years after crossing of Jordan land was divided after 400 years
A correction is in order
— beginning of Jeroboam's/Rehoboam's reign(s) = 930 B.C.
— 3983 B.C. = Creation
— 2328-2327 B.C. = Flood
— End of 6,000 = 2018 A.D.
— Edwin Thiele:
Thiele has correct date at the beginning of Jeroboam's/Rehoboam's reigns.
Spring to Spring "STUDIES ON THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE DIVIDED MONARCHY OF ISRAEL" by Edwin Thiele
— 1446 = Exodus — 1406 = Entry into Promised Land
— Jehu = "Yahu" (Assyrian records)
— Spring of 930 B.C. = Beginning of Jeroboam's reign
— Velikovsky & Amalekites:
- Dr. Hoeh doesn't think history/archaeology supports the idea that the "AMALEKITES" invaded Egypt right after the Exodus of Israel.
— 1975 B.C. = Abraham Birth 1800 B.C. = Abraham Death 1876 B.C. = God's Covenant with Abraham
