Appendix E outlines the chronology of the Kings of Israel and Judah during the periods of the United Monarchy, Divided Monarchy, and Re-United Monarchy. The United Monarchy spans from 1037 to 930 BCE, featuring notable rulers such as Saul, David, and Solomon. The Divided Monarchy, from 930 to 690 BCE, details the reigns of kings in both Judah and Israel, including Rehoboam, Jeroboam I, and Ahab, among others. This section highlights the political fragmentation and succession of leadership, culminating in Assyrian rule from 722 to 690 BCE. The Re-United Monarchy, from 690 to 586 BCE, focuses on kings like Hezekiah and Josiah, concluding with the Babylonian conquest and the exile of the Israelites. This document serves as a historical reference for understanding the governance and political dynamics of ancient Israel and Judah, providing essential context for Masonic teachings related to leadership and moral lessons derived from these historical figures.
