The reign of Abijam

• Abijam

• Start — 1 Kings 15:1. The year Abijam's reign began is the year Rehoboam's reign ended = 3049 which is also the eighteenth year of Jeroboam's reign (3031 + 18) = 3049
• End — 1 Kings 15:2. The year Abijam's reign ended is the year his reign began (3049) + the length of his reign (2) + the 1-year accession year duration undercount = 3052

START:Additional Scriptural reference: 2CH 13:1-2 HYPOTHESIS: This is the "eighteenth year of King Jeroboam" when counted using Israel's non-accession-year approach. See dataset notes for more information. [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p68] END:HYPOTHESIS: Judah began counting Abijam's regnal years in AH 3050 instead of AH 3049 due to their "accession year" methodology. See dataset notes for more information. [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p69]

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
