1 The real Biblical date, Ussher in Gen. xi. 26 interpolating 6o years, because it is said in Acts vii. 4 that Abraham left Haran after his father Terah's death (Gen. xi. 32), and also (as explained above) interpreting wrongly Ex. xii. 40.
2 Hilprecht's
dates
  (The Bab. Expedition of the University of
Pennsylvania
 , vol. i. pt. i. 1893, pp. II, i2; pt. ii. 1896, pp. 23, 24. 43, 44).
Petrie's dates, Hist. of Egypt, vol. i. (ed. 5, 1903), pp. 20, 30, 233, 251, 252; vol. 111. (1905), pp. 2, 235, 281-7, 296-360. Other authorities, however, assign considerably lower dates for the dynasties prior to the 18th. Thus Breasted (Hist. of Egypt, 1906, pp. 22 if., 221, 597) agrees with Ed. Meyer in giving, for reasons which cannot be here explained, for the beginning of the 1st dynasty c. B C. 3400, for the 4th dynasty c. B.C. 2900--2750, and for the rule of the
Hyksos
  c. B.C. 1680-1580; and in his Researches in
Sinai
 , 1906, p. 175, Petrie proposes for Menes B.C. 5510, and for the 4th dynasty B.C. 4731-4454. See EGYPT (Chronology).
' So Sayce, Rogers (Hist. of Bab. and Ass., 1900, i. 318 f.) and others. The date rests upon a statement of Nabu-na'id's, that Sargon's son, Naram-Sin, reigned 3200 years before himself. Lehmann holds that there are reasons for believing that the engraver, by error, put a stroke too many, and that 2200 should be read instead of 3200. a The real Biblical date.
e Rogers, i. 373-375. Many monuments and
inscriptions
  of other kings in Babylonia, between 4000 and 2000 B.C., are also known.
i The lists of the Babylonian and Assyrian kings are not continuous; and before 1907, from the data then available (see the discussion in Rogers, op. cit. i. 312-348), Khammurabi, the
sixth
  king of the first Babylonian dynasty, was commonly referred to such dates as 2376-2333 B.C. (Sayce) or 2285-2242 B.C. (Johns). But
inscriptions
  recently discovered, by showing that the second dynasty was partly contemporaneous with the first and the third, have proved that these dates are too high : see L. W. King, Chronicles Concerning Early Bab. Kings (1907), i. -1 10; and the article BABYLONIA, Chronology. The date B.c. 2130-2088 is that adopted by Thureau-Dangin, after a discussion of the subject, in the Journal des Savants, 1908, p. 199; and by Ungnad in the Orient. Litt.-zeitung, 1908, p. 13, and in Gressmann's Altorientalische Texte and Bilder zum A.T. (1909), p. 103. 8 King, op. cit. i. 116, ii. 14.
9 The dates of the kings are, in most cases, those given by Kautzsch in the table in his Outline of the Hist. of the Literature of the O.T. (tr. by Taylor, 1898), pp. 167 ff.; see also A. R. S. Kennedy, "Samuel" in the Century Bible (1905), p. 31. The dates given by other
recent
  authorities seldom differ by more than three or four years.
1O The figures after a king's name indicate the number of years assigned to his reign in the O.T. For
Saul
 , see i Sam. xiii. 1, R.V 11 The date of Sheshonq depends on that fixed for Rehoboam. Petrie places the accession of Rehoboam in 937 B.C.
