On the Contradictions Regarding the Kings of Judah and Israel: Text and Manuscripts

Go to the Kings of Judah and Israel, Part 1 group, the Visual edition.

In hac media columpna huius numeri ponuntur contrarietates de collatione annorum regum juda et regum israel, que contrarietas est ex diuersis prophetarum dictis ex quibus liber regum collectus est; unde, secundum diuersitates rationum, fit quod alius aliud initium inchoationis regni regum tam juda quam israel assignauerunt .

In this central column the different ways of comparing the years of the kings of Judah and the kings of Israel are set out. The contradictions arise from the various sayings of the prophets, from which the book of Kings is compiled. Hence, according to different reasoning, different people have assigned different starting points to the beginning of the reigns of the kings of both Judah and Israel.
