EXAMINATION OF ANACHRONISMS IN BIBLICAL AND ASSYRIAN CHRONOLOGIES by Gerard Gertoux

This Egyptian chronology, anchored on three dates calculated by astronomy: Psamtik III (526-525), Shabataka (712-689), Takelot II (865-840), and one date calculated by carbon-14 dating: Amenemope (1018-1009), is in perfect agreement with all the synchronisms of the chronologies of the kings of Byblos, Assyria, Judah, and Israel. All these chronologies are used by epigraphers to accurately date Phoenician inscriptions. Six biblical synchronisms with Egyptian chronology are of particularly remarkable accuracy:
• The city of Gezer was burned by Siamun (Kitchen: 2003, 108-110) 20 years after its construction (1Ki 9:10-17), which had begun in early Year 4 (1Ki 6:37-7:1), in Year 24 of Solomon, in 993 BCE.
• Flight of Jeroboam into Pharaoh Shoshenq I's country, in the last years of Solomon's reign (1Ki 11:40-42), or during the years 39 and 40 (978-977 BCE).
• Shoshenq I attacked Jerusalem in the 5th year of Rehoboam, in 972 BCE, he is called Shishaq in the Hebrew Bible (1Ki 14:25,26; 2Ch 12:2-9) and Sousakim in the Septuagint.
• Hosea II negotiated in 723 BCE with Assyrian King Shalmaneser V (727-722) and Egyptian King Osorkon IV (741-712), written So (2Ki 17:1-6) or Segor (LXX).
• Taharqa, the co-regent of Shabataka (712-689), tried to prevent Sennacherib from attacking Jerusalem (2Ki 19:8-9) in the 14th year of Hezekiah (726-697) dated to 712 BCE (2Ki 18:13-17).
• Josiah (640-609) died at Megiddo (2Ki 23:29-34), in 609 BCE, just as Necho II (609-594) arrived in that city to repel the Babylonian attack against Assyrian King Aššur-uballiṭ II (612-609).
