Historical Timeline from Abraham to Isaiah
The historical timeline from Abraham to Isaiah can be traced back to around 2000 BC when Abraham is believed to have lived in the land of Canaan. Around 1900 BC, his grandson Jacob or Israel and his 12 sons come into play. Approximately 1850 BC, Joseph goes down to Egypt due to a famine, leading the family to migrate there. Around 1450 BC, Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt, bringing them into the promised land. This era sees the reign of judges like Samson and Samuel, culminating in the monarchies of Saul, David, and Solomon around 1000 BC. Subsequently, the kingdom divides into the northern kingdom of Israel, comprising 10 tribes, and the southern kingdom of Judah, comprising two tribes, around 930 BC. These kingdoms have a complex relationship, often characterized by conflict and rivalry. By the time of Isaiah, there is a crisis with the northern kingdom threatening Judah with the help of neighboring territories, illustrating the intricate dynamics within the divided Israelite kingdoms.
