*The dates for the period of the Patriarchs to Judges follow the common view among many scholars that the exodus occurred c. 1446 b.c. Many other scholars would date the exodus c. 1260 b.c. (See Introduction to Exodus).
**Possible dates for the beginning of Saul's reign are calculated based on other data in the OT: e.g., David's age at accession and length of reign (2 Sam. 5:4-5); Ish-bosheth's age when he became king (2 Sam. 2:10); and Jonathan's probable age in relation to both Ish-bosheth and David, presuming that Jonathan was Saul's firstborn son (1 Sam. 14:49; 31:2) and was at least 20 when referred to as a commander of troops early in Saul's reign (1 Sam. 13:2).
