[2] "b." means "born"

[3] These years are not being counted as a part of Israel's prophetic history. These years must be taken into consideration when comparing Acts 13:16-22 to 1 Kings 6:1. [back]

[4] 300 years from the entry into the Land. See note on chart 50. IV. (see below)

The note from chart 50. IV

The key to the arrangement and sequence of the periods of "Servitude" and rest is found in Judges 11:26.

Jephtha was called to be “Captian” in Gilead (Jud.11:6) in 1151. In the diplomatic dispute with Ammon and Moab, Jephtha’s argument is one that would be advanced now in a Court of Law: “If the lands are yours why have you not claimed possession during the 300 years they have been held by us?” The 300 is made up as follows; -- viz.


	Jair's	4	years (see note on Jair)^[4]
	Tola	23
	Gideon	40
	Midian	7
	Barah	40
	Jabiin	20
	Ehud	80
	Moab	18
