TABLE 5 illustrates the six Jubilees between an Exodus in 1255 BC and the 12^th year of Solomon and is based upon having six generations (251 years) from the Exodus to David. Nashon was David’s ancestor during the Exodus (Num. 1:7; 7:11). For those who insist on 50-year Jubilees, Josephus and 1 & 2 Macabees identifies the Sabbaticals of 163, 135 and 37 BC showing that they were 49 years apart after 422 BC, the invalid rabbinic date for the destruction of the first temple. These dates are off two years when compared with the Jubilees in 721, 623, 588 and 574 BC. However, Ussher preferred having 479 years from Exodus to Solomon’s temple (as in I Kings 6:1). For more details on the Jubilees, go to the tables in CODE 490 and KINGS. TABLE 6 illustrates how the 111 years of oppressions could possibly fit in with 251 years between the Exodus and David (assuming that we restore 36 years between Eli and David omitted by the rabbinical view). If the Judges happened to rule in several places at the same time, the entire period of the Judges could have lasted only 111 years. If the 111 years of oppressions and 339 years of judges do not overlap, then the period of the Judges was 450 years, as in Acts 13:20. If the 111 overlapped the 339 years, then the period of the Judges lasted 228 years. Notice that rearranging the following seven numbers creates various theories on the period from Exodus to David and Solomon: 111, 228, 251, 339, 450, 479, and 590. Examples: (251 + 228 = 479) (251 + 339 = 590) (111 + 228 = 339) (111 + 479 = 590) (111 + 339 = 450)
