Scripture Chronology, during the Times of Solomon's Temple,

Note 4.-Chronologers have confounded the 2d year of Jehoram king of Judah's life, (which coincided with the 18th year of his father Jehoshaphat's reign,) with the 2d year of his own reign, which did not commence until he was 32 years old. During this interval of 30 years the prophet Elisha flourished, and many memorable events happened, as recorded in the first eight chapters of 2 Kings, sufficient to fill up the period, and much more than sufficient to fill up the time usually assigned to them.

Note 5.-Jebu and his descendants governed Israel for four generations, that is 132 years, reckoning 33 years to a generation. 2 Kings x. 30. But in this period there was one minority of 5, and another of 25 years. So in the kingdom of Judah, during the same period, there must have been a double minority of 42 years, or upwards of one generation, to make the years of the kingdom of Judah tally with those of the kingdom of Israel. This adds one generation to the number (13) enumerated between David and the Babylonish Captivity, and completes the number (14) stated in Matt. i. 17.

the Times of the Second Temple at Jerusalem, 585 Years.

Note 1.-Our Saviour was born in the year of the world 4215, about the autumnal equinox, six months after
John Baptist: and he was 34 years old when he died. There were five Passovers in the time of his public
ministry, mentioned in the New Testament, as follows:-(1.) John ii. 13.-(2.) John iv. 35, four months after
conversing with the woman of Samaria.-(3.) Luke vi. 1, a few days before the disciples rubbed the ears of
corn.-(4.) A little after the feeding of the four thousand.-(5.) At the time of the crucifixion,-See Sir Isaac
Newton's Remarks.

Note 2.-Chronologers rest chiefly on human testimony in settling the particular times relative to the
second Temple; and happily they differ very little in their computations in this part of history.
