The reign of Ahab

• Ahab (son of Omri and King of Israel)

• Start — 1 Kings 16:29. The year Ahab's reign began is the year Asa's reign began (3052) + 38 years - the 1-year accession/non-accession-year offset - the 1-year Israel-Judah calendar offset = 3088
• End — 1 Kings 16:29. The year Ahab's reign ended is the year his reign began (3088) + the length of his reign (22) - Israel's 1-year all-calendar-years overcount = 3109

START:*HYPOTHESIS: Israel and Judah counted the years of a king's reign differently than the other and also began their calendar year on different days. These two factors need to be considered when calculating this date. See dataset notes for more information. [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p70] END:*HYPOTHESIS: Israel's "all calendar years" approach means that Scipture records one year more than the "total duration" used in this dataset. See dataset notes for more information. [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p71]

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.
