biblical | ★★★★★ | |
| The placement (reigned three months in 3316 AM) is a schematic Mesorah Atlas reconstruction: the regnal years stated in Kings are chained backward from the First Temple's destruction in 3338 AM, with sub-year reigns counted as zero — the same rule that yields Chizkiyahu 3199–3228. The cited source states the reign's length, not absolute dates.
The cited sources establish relative chronology or regnal duration; they do not state the absolute AM range.
