In trying to keep all of these people and messages clear in my mind, I have put together a list of all the kings and prophets during the period of the divided kingdom (roughly 931-586 BC). Some of these prophets only have their words recorded in Kings or Chronicles, while others have their words recorded elsewhere in the Bible (usually the book name is the prophet’s name). In the midst of these kingdoms, several prophets are sent by God. What makes it challenging when reading straight through the Bible is that the history is covered in 1 and 2 Kings and then again in 1 and 2 Chronicles. One challenging point in history is the divided kingdoms of Israel (the 10 northern tribes) and Judah (the 2 southern tribes). Owens ( created the helpful chart below delineating the Old Testament prophets and kings of Israel and Judah and has now updated it:

While Louis Antoine pondered signing the abdication documents, he listened to his wife’s arguments not to sign and to retain his role as king in what was considered to be an incredibly unpopular monarchy. The rights of succession meant that he was king once his father had signed his own abdication papers during the July Revolution of 1830. On August 2, 1830, Louis Antoine was “technically” the king of France for 20 minutes before he agreed to abdicate the throne. He is perhaps the only emperor who both preceded and succeeded himself as a nation’s president. His actions set the Chinese republican goals back by years due to the infighting that arose from his attempt to reestablish the empire. Shikai resumed his role as president, although he died shortly thereafter. He returned China to a republic, making the Empire of China the shortest-lasting empire in history-about three months-from December 12, 1915, to March 22, 1916. Plans for an accession ceremony were delayed, defunded, and ultimately scrapped. He was a general who took on the role as the second Provisional Great President of the Republic of China.īut Shikai wanted to consolidate his power and reestablish the Chinese monarchy, which met a great deal of opposition.

Soon after the last emperor of China, Puyi, abdicated the throne in 1912 following the Xinhai Revolution, a new Chinese Empire arose in its place under the leadership of Emperor Yuan Shikai.
