Notes:

< -- > Indicates a firm association between independent histories. For example, the patriarch Terah in the book of Genesis, is one and the same as Jesse in the books of Ruth and Samuel, and one and the same as Joash in the book of Judges. Abraham, the eldest son of Terah, aligns with Eliab, the eldest son of Jesse. Abraham was also the elder half-brother of both David (Abimelech in Genesis) and Gideon (Mamre in Genesis).

+ King David of the Kings narrative is a composite of Abimelech (Thutmose III) and Isaac (Thutmose III) of the Genesis narrative.

* King Solomon of the Kings narrative is a composite of Jacob (Amenhotep II) and Ephraim (Amenhotep III) of the Genesis narrative.
