Chronology of the kings

According to article, "his chronology contrasts with those presented by the more traditional William F. Albright or Edwin R. Thiele." I hope someone will explain how Galil differs in his chronology. BTW, no I'm not picking on Galil; I hope the same is done for Albright & Thiele. However, when I turned to this article, I was hoping to find an explanation of how Galil -- whom I presume is Jewish (or at least is sympathetic towards a Jewish POV) -- differs from two Protestant scholars. -- llywrch 03:21, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I support the above suggestion. The dates supposedly given by Galil for the reigns in some of the articles in Wikipedia overlap markedly, e.g.

Jehoshaphat c.870 BC – 845 BC
Jehoram of Judah c.851 BC – 843 BC
Ahaziah of Judah 843 BC – 842 BC
Athaliah 843 BC – 835 BC
Jehoash of Judah 842 BC – 802 BC
Amaziah of Judah 805 BC – 776 BC
Uzziah of Judah 788 BC – 736 BC

This makes no sense to me. The dates from Albright & Thiele stated in the same articles run sequentially. Has someone been spoofing the Galil dates? If there's no response here, I'll ask for help -- someone must have access to his book -- otherwise the above dates should be deleted. - Fayenatic london (talk) 19:19, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In all honesty, I am not sure where I got the Galil dates. It is in the days before I sources succession lists and looking back, I wish I had. I didn't quite understand the dates either, but many of the dates were already on the pages and I just adapted them. That's all I can really say. I think I did those dates because of the Jewish POV, but once again, I am not sure. Please remove them if they don't make sense or follow actual research. I created his Wiki page for the mere purpose of removing red links from pages. The info on him I got from the website provided.
