The reign of Ahaz

• Ahaz (King of Judah, son of Jotham)

• Start — no reference given. The year Ahaz's sole reign began is the year his co-regency with his father, Jotham, ended = 3231
• End — 2 Kings 16:2. The year Ahaz's reign ended is the year his (sole) reign began (3231) + the length of his reign (16) - a 1-year duration overcount = 3246

START:[Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p77] END:*HYPOTHESIS: The duration does not extend into the next calendar year. [Shulman date p83]

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.
