The reign of Tibni

• Tibni

• Start — 1 Kings 16:21. The year Tibni's reign began is the year Zimri's reign ended = 3078
• End — 1 Kings 16:22. The year Tibni's reign ended is the year his reign began (3078) + the length of his reign (6) - the 1-year accession/non-accession-year offset - Israel's 1-year all-calendar-years overcount = 3082

START:[Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p70] END:*HYPOTHESIS: Tibni and Omri began a disputed reign over Israel at the same time. Omri is stated to have ruled TWELVE years (total) with SIX undisputed in Tirzah. This leaves SIX years of his reign disputed with Omri. Also, 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]

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.
