Solving a Timeline Puzzle
Commentators note that the Bible's detailed chronologies sometimes present puzzles. For example, the start of Amaziah's reign seems to conflict with the timeline of King Joash of Israel. Scholars explain this apparent discrepancy by suggesting a co-regency, where Joash of Israel ruled alongside his father for two years before becoming sole king. This highlights how careful historical analysis can resolve complex details in the text.
