Listing the first year of each king’s reign and the length of reign in years, unless otherwise noted. All dates are BC. Apparent time discrepancies may be due in part to overlapping reigns (examples below), intervals of anarchy and/or other unusual factors such as parts of years counted as years. Note that some kings were known by more than one name.

Examples of co-regency in Judah:
Amaziah reigned for 29 years, with 25 of those being with his son Azariah (Uzziah), so Amaziah was sole ruler for only 4 years.
Azariah/Uzziah, in addition to co-regency with Amaziah above, co-reigned with son Jotham for 10 years. This indicates Azariah ruled alone for 17 years.
Jotham reigned with his father for 10 years, and at the end of his years, with his son Ahaz for 3 years so his sole reign was 3 years.
Hezekiah co-reigned with his son Manasseh and there are differing views on the length of this time.
Above views of co-regency suggested by Andrew C. Bowling, expositor for the books of Kings in the Holman Christian Standard Bible).
