The reign of Zechariah

• Zechariah (King of Israel, son of Jeroboam)

• Start — 2 Kings 15:8. The year Zechariah's reign began is the year Azariah's (Uzziah's) reign began (3170) + 38 years + 1 year for the the accession-year undercount = 3209
• End — 2 Kings 15:8. The year Zechariah's reign ended is the year his reign began (3209) + the length of his reign (6 months) = 3209

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 p75] END:[Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p75]

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.
