Death
| Chronology | Date as stated | Year (BC / AM) | Citation & note |
|---|---|---|---|
| CFAH-1 Table 1 Ussher–Jones baseline | 976 BC (Solomon's Death) Precision: year |
976 BC | Griffith & White, "Chronological Framework of Ancient History. 1: Problem, Data, and Methodology," ARJ 15 (2022): 377–390, section "Our Assumptions (Declared Biases)", Table 1 "Biblically derived dates from Ussher and Jones" (opens in a new tab) CFAH-1 Table 1 (Ussher-Jones biblical baseline adopted by CFAH); not a triangulated anchor point. CFAH-1 Conclusions note that their date for Solomon's death is a primary difference from other revisionists. |
| Ussher-Jones | Not yet established | — | — Jones Chart No. 1 gives "3029 AM 975 BC Kingdom DIVIDED" (not explicitly Solomon's death); no death year read in Jones. |

From Creation to Solomon (No. 2, 2001), ch. 11, p. 53: "2989 - Accession of Solomon." / "2990 - Solomon year 1." |
