Days 140-141, more insights

I Kings 6:1—the importance of the date According to The Bible Knowledge Commentary of the O.T., edited by Walvoord and Zuck, ©1985, p.499 1 Kings 6:1 is one of the most important verses in the Old Testament, chronologically, because it enables us to fix certain dates in Israel’s history. The dates of Solomon’s reign have been quite definitely established through references in ancient writings. They were 937–931 B.C. According to this verse, in the fourth year of his reign, Solomon began to build the temple. That was in 966 B.C. The Exodus took place 480 years earlier (1446 B.C.) The month Ziv is April–May….The rebuilding of the temple, 430 years later under Zerubbabel (536), also began in the second month (Ezra 3:8).
