The reign of Pekahiah

• Pekahiah

• Start — 2 Kings 15:23. The year Pekahiah's reign began is the year Azariah's (Uzziah's) reign began (3170) + 50 years + 1 year for the the accession-year undercount = 3221
• End — 2 Kings 15:23. The year Pekahiah's reign ended is the year his reign began (3221) + the length of his reign (2) = 3223

START:*HYPOTHESIS: Judah counted regnal years starting the year AFTER a king took the throne (accession year) resulting in a 1-year undercount. See dataset notes for more information. [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p76] END:[Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p76]

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.
