Jephthah (jan 2, 1193 BC – jan 1, 1187 BC)

Description:

Egyptian chronology, 2838-342 BCE, through astronomically dated synchronisms and comparison with carbon-14 dating, by Gérard Gertoux

Jephthah as a judge over Israel for 6 years, Ibzan for 7 years, Elon for 10 years, Abdon for 8 years. Then followed a 40-year period of oppression by the Philistines (Jg 12:7-13:1). The period of 176 years from Jephthah to Solomon may be calculated in two ways, first: 176 = 480 - 300 - 4, or 176 = 6 + 7 + 10 + 8 + 40 + 20 + 5 + 40 + 40.
