Hello and welcome. I noticed a slight error in the prophecy. This is about Elisha's prophecy. famine in Samaria. it was not in 930 BC. In 923 he became a prophet. The 7-year famine lasted from approximately 915/13- ok. 908/06. Zrzut ekranu (241)

Wow, @Goykew my brother, that's a very interesting chart!!

Yes, I realize that many dates are (very) approximate - in some cases, more to have something more-or-less in that field rather than nothing at all. But, yes, this one (and others no doubt) will need some precision adjustments.

There are many items I would also like to add to my Timeline of Bible History (TBH) project, but haven't found the time for the research. I know you have your own timeline there, but would you be interested in comparing with mine and 1) pointing out errors and/or 2) listing additional items that could/should be added?

I would ask (if possible) for a reference to where in our publications you have found the date ;-)

Regarding Elisha, I found this: https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1200001316&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=7 So, starts as prophet around 917.

This famine, it's this one: https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1200000636&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=12

But, yes, it was probably closer to 907 B.C.E. Thank you for catching that!
