Timeline: "King A", "King B", "Person 1" ??

Hello,

 

I was just reviewing the timeline, and I just noticed that there are labels named "King A", "King B", and "Person 1".

What do these refer to? They had some hits in dictionaries, but only as a mere mention:

 

From the Eerdmans dictionary: "The OT contains a massive amount of chronological data, but almost all of it is in relative terms. For the Divided Monarchy, e.g., the dates are given in terms of the lengths of reign and synchronisms with the opposite kingdom. That gives a relative dating of king A to king B, but it does not give an absolute date B.C.E. for either of them." :huh:

 

From the AYBD: " This suggests that the Ahitub intended in this last list is Ahijah, person 1. above, and, this, in a list which purports to link Ezra the priest to the line of Eleazar, not Ithamar." :blink:

 

Still, I wouldn't know how to explain what they're all about.

 

Would anyone have any further references to these?

 

Thanks.

Those are just sample User Items. You can hide them by selecting [No User Items] from the "Custom List" option in the "Define Item Layers" drop-down list.

Okay; but it's still strange that they got there in the first place. I certainly didn't put them in...

Everyone has them if they have the Timeline installed. They're just there as samples.
