- Start — 1 Kings 22:51. The year Ahaziah's reign began is the year Jehoshaphat's reign began (3093) + 17 years - the 1-year accession/non-accession-year offset = 3109
- End — 1 Kings 22:51. The year Ahaziah's reign ended is the year his reign began (3109) + the length of his reign (2) - Israel's 1-year all-calendar-years overcount = 3110
Notes
START:*HYPOTHESIS: Israel and Judah counted the years of a king's reign differently than the other. See dataset notes for more information. [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p71] 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.
