Below you find the newest analysis of the Kings of Judah, Israel, Syria and Egypt.
The discipline of the Bible History never stands still for there are still unresolved difficulties which call for the attentive reader to try and develop a way to clarify the situation. We are told, that there are still many treasures of spiritual knowledge and perhaps too of secular knowledge waiting to be understood. This chart may be one aspect to such attempts on the matter of how King Baasha's reign ought to be aligned more trouble free.

The newest proposed, Baasha accomodating chronology of Judah, Israel, Syria and Egypt

The colors are supposed to show the various family lines as explained in the text on Thutmose III and on Baasha.
Lavender: The line of the Kings of Judah.
Dark Red: The line of the kings of Israel.
Light Red: Unrelated to previous Israelite kings.
Light Gold: The line of the rulers/kings of Jeroboam.
Dark Gold: The line of the kings of Syria.
Blue: The line of possible alter egos of the kings of Syria.
Light Green: The line of the native kings of Egypt.
Dark Green: The line of possible alter egos of Judaite/Egyptian kings.

While this set up helps explain some relationships, it causes also a puzzle of its onw, mainly that of Nadab reigning more than one year. See the text on that.

He is the father of both the two brothers, Benhadad and Ahab, probably by different wives (1.Kings 20:32-34). Benhadad is the father of Jezebel/Nefertiti.
