Commentary:
This diagram covers from Abraham, to the division, to the exiles, and to the return of Judah. The Prophets are placed at the approximate time of their ministries and at the main place of their assignments. Also indicated are the names of the oppressors and the timings of their sieges. We can clearly see that House of Judah came back, but the House of Israel was literally “cut off” and disappeared from the history of Israel.
Please also note that the kings of the House of Judah were all descendants of David, connected by the bloodline, but not all the kings of the House Israel were related. Many of them took over the throne by a revolt. Judah lasted for about 348 years, and Israel 208 years, according to the estimated time of the events on this diagram (Facts learned mainly from Ryrie’s NASB Study Bible).
