Note that 931BC marks the division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes (Judah and Benjamin) and Ten Northern Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware that after the division of the Kingdom in 931BC, the Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as "Judah" and the Northern Kingdom as "Israel." Finally, note that 1 Chronicles 1-9 is not identified on the timeline because these chapters are records of genealogy. (NOTE: Many consider Amaziah and Hezekiah as "good" kings) SEE ALSO: ESV chart - kings of Israel - more information ESV chart - kings of Judah - more information Another Chart with Variable Dates for Reigns of Kings 2 Chronicles 19:1 Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned in safety to his house in Jerusalem.

YLT 2 Chronicles 19:1 And Jehoshaphat king of Judah turneth back unto his house in peace to Jerusalem, in safety: 2Ch 18:31,32 See BELOW FOR BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR 1-2 CHRONICLES - adapted from Paul Apple's Bible Outlines A SAFE RETURN 2Ch 19:1-11 (as is 2Ch 20:1-34) is unique to Chronicles (not repeated in 1 Kings). Raymond Dillard: These verses represent the key to the Chronicler’s use of the Micaiah narrative; the story provided him with a further parallel between Asa and Jehoshaphat and the opportunity to underscore the evil of foreign alliances and the failure to trust Yahweh. (BORROW 2 Chronicles) Then - When is then? From the context, this is clearly after the defeat by the Arameans at Ramoth-Gilead. Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned in safety (shalom; Lxx - eirene) to his house in Jerusalem - Note the divine irony - Abab would not return safely (1Ki 22:27, 28; 2Ch 18:26, 27 - all 4 uses of "safely" = shalom) while Jehoshaphat would! Despite his foolish actions, God protected him in battle and after the battle brought him back to Jerusalem safely. Remember that Jehoshaphat was in the line of David and God was preserving the line of Messiah. This would actually be a fulfillment of Micaiah's prophecy "Let each of them return to his house in peace." (2Ch 18:16). On the other hand God took the life of his counterpart Ahab and clearly did not return in peace but returned to dust and eternal disgrace. Fortunately God disregarded Jehoshaphat's statement "I am as you are" in 2Ch 18:3! THOUGHT- There are blessings for obedience and cursings from disobedience. When will we let that truth register with each of us who are prone to wander? Ron Daniel - Jehoshaphat had stumbled and fallen. And yet God was merciful. He allowed the king to return in safety to his house in Jerusalem.
