The Genealogical Relationships of Jehoram and Ahaziah, and of Ahaz and Hezekiah, Kings of Judah
Abstract
The chronology of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel has been highly controversial, and remains so today. The genealogy of the kings of Judah, on the other hand, has generally been accepted without demur. Only the parentage of Athaliah has been seriously debated. Nevertheless, serious issues are evident in the data. Notable are two relationships: that of Jehoram and Ahaziah, and that of Ahaz and Hezekiah. Their ages and lengths of reign, even considering alternatives suggested by many commentators, plus additional data given in Kings and Chronicles about their fami lies, strongly suggest that these are not father-son pairs but brothers or half-brothers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
