- Start — 2 Kings 24:6. The year Jehoiachin's (Jehoiakim's) reign began is the year Eliakim's reign ended = 3364
- End — 2 Kings 24:8. The year Jehoiachin's reign ended is the year his reign began (3364) + the length of his reign (3 months) = 3365
Notes
START:[Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p98] END:*HYPOTHESIS: The three months began in A.H. 3364 and ended in A.H. 3365. This ensures the remaining regnal dates end with the destruction of the Temple in 586 BCE. [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p98]
