980 B.C. - Height of Power / Israel -  "A traditional date when King David's empire was at its peak"
976 B.C. - Jeroboam  I / Israel - "Reportedly, the son of Nebat (1Ki 11:26-39), 'an Ephrathite,' the first king of the ten tribes, over whom he reigned twenty-two years (B.C. 976-945). He was the son of a widow of Zereda, and while still young was promoted by Solomon to be chief superintendent of the 'burnden', i.e., of the bands of forced labourers. Influenced by the words of the prophet Ahijah, he began to form conspiracies with the view of becoming king of the ten tribes; but these having been discovered, he fled to Egypt (1Ki 11:29-40), where he remained for a length of time under the protection of Shishak I. Other  traditional dates attributed to Jeroboam I include: 931-909 B.C."

973 B.C. - Solomon / Israel & Judah -  "A traditional date when Solomon ruled [962-922 B.C.] united Israel-Judah. Other traditional dates attributed to Solomon include: 970-931 B.C."

969 B.C. - Hiram / Tyre -  "A traditional date when Hiram ruled Tyre."

962 B.C. - Jewish Temple Completed -  "A Traditional date for the completion of the First Jewish Temple by Solomon. Reportedly, this building was regarded as the repository of ancient occult wisdom and symbolism by both the Freemasons and the Knights Templar. King David initiated the building of the temple at Jerusalem and after his death his son Solomon completed the task. To build the edifice Solomon imported masons, artists and craftsmen from neighboring countries. Specifically he sent a message to the king of Tyre asking if he could hire the services of the king's master builder, Hiram Abiff, who was skilled in geometry. Solomon appointed Hiram as the chief architect and master mason of the temple to be built in Jerusalem. In the Old Testament it is said of Solomon that 'he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places', [I Kings 3:3] which were the sites of shrines dedicated to the worship of the Great Goddess. The available evidence suggests that during the 370-year  history of the original temple at Jerusalem it was wholly or partly used for Goddess worship for 200 years of that period. When one of Yahweh's prophets  denounced Solomon's waywardness in favor of a young man called Jeroboam who became the new king [I Kings 11:29-40], the worship of pagan gods briefly abated. In I Kings 23: 4-7 it is recorded that the high priest Hilkaih destroyed the shrines to the goddess Ashtoreth which Solomon had erected all over Israel."

933 B.C. - Jeroboam I / Israel - "On the death of Solomon, the ten tribes, having revolted, sent to invite Jeroboam I to become their king. The conduct of Rehoboam favoured the designs of Jeroboam, and he was accordingly proclaimed 'king of Israel' (1Ki 12:1; 1:1-20). He rebuilt and fortified Shechem as the capital of his kingdom. He at once adopted means to perpetuate the division thus made between the two parts of the kingdom, and erected at Dan and Bethel, the two extremities of his kingdom, 'golden calves,' which he set up as symbols of Jehovah, enjoining the people not any more to go up to worship at Jerusalem, but to bring their offerings to the shrines he had erected. Thus he became distinguished as the man 'who made Israel to sin.' This policy was followed by all the succeeding kings of Israel. Other traditional dates attributed to Jeroboam I include: 931-909 B.C."

931 B.C. - Rehoboam / Judah - "A traditional date when Rehoboam ruled in Judah 931-914 B.C."

922 B.C. - Secession / Israel from Judah - "The Bible describes how, soon after the death of Solomon, the ten northern tribes, resenting their subjugation to Davidic kings in Jerusalem, unilaterally seceded from the united monarchy, thus forcing the creation of two rival kingdoms: the kingdom of Israel, in the north, and the kingdom of Judah, in the south. For the next two hundred years, the people of Israel lived in two separate kingdoms, reportedly succumbing again and again to the lure of foreign deities."

Ahab, the king who actually stopped Assyria for a while, is painted in the darkest colors in the Bible, along with his wife, Jezebel. His victory over Assyria isn't even mentioned. Under the influence of Jezebel, King Ahab built an altar to Baal and a sacred grove to the goddess [I Kings 16:30-33].

854 B.C. - Israelite Coalition - "Israel, in combination with Judah [a puppet of Israel at the time] and Aram [Syria] manage to defeat Assyria in battle. Later Syria and Israel turn against eachother and Ahab dies in battle against Syria. Meanwhile, Israel and Judah were not truly monotheistic. The writers of the Bible tried to make monotheism the stern belief of Moses and David, but even if it were, the people did not follow them any more than the Egyptian people had followed Akhenaton. The Yahwists [those who believe in Yahweh as the single god of the Jews] were always a minority at this time, and were, in fact, persecuted by the kings - who found them rigid and extreme, and getting in the way of practical politics. The outstanding Yahwists of this century were Elijah and Elisha. The Bible, written in later times by Yahwists, present them as wonder-working prophets and their opponents as villians. Thus, Ahab, the king who actually stopped Assyria for a while, is painted in the darkest colors in the Bible, along with his wife Jezebel. His victory over Assyria isn't even mentioned."

He followed the example of the first Jeroboam in keeping up the worship of the golden calves (2Ki 14:24). His reign was contemporary with those of Amaziah (2Ki 14:23) and Uzziah (2Ki 15:1), kings of Judah. He was victorious over the Syrians (2Ki 13:4; 14:26-27), and extended Israel to its former limits, from 'the entering of Hamath to the sea of the plain' (2Ki 14:25; Am 6:14). His reign of forty-one years was the most prosperous that Israel had ever known as yet. With all this outward prosperity, however, iniquity widely prevailed in the land (Am 2:6-8; 4:1; 6:6; Ho 4:12-14). The prophets Hosea (Ho 1:1), Joel (Joe 3:16; Am 1:1-2), Amos (Am 1:1), and Jonah (2Ki 14:25) lived during his reign. He died, and was buried with his ancestors (2Ki 14:29). He was succeeded by his son Zachariah (q.v.). His name occurs in Scripture only in 2Ki 13:13; 14:16,23,27-29; 15:1,8; 1Ch 5:17; Ho 1:1; Am 1:1; 7:9-11. In all other passages it is Jeroboam the son of Nebat that is meant. Other dates attributed to Jeroboam include: 788 -747 B.C." [Traditional Old Testament]

800 B.C. - Homer / Greece - "By 800 B.C., Homer [concerning whom next to nothing is known - not even if he really existed] had written the Iliad and the Odyssey. About the same time, Hesiod was writing Theogony, which was an important guide to Greek mythology."

800 B.C. - Bible Authors - "During the nineteenth century, some German biblical scholars developed a critical method which discerned four different sources in the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. These were later collated into the final text of what we know  as the Pentateuch during the fifth century BCE. This form of criticism has come in for a good deal of harsh treatment, but nobody has yet come up with a satisfactory theory which explains why there are two quite different accounts of key biblical events, such as the Creation and the Flood, and why the Bible sometimes contradicts itself. The two earliest biblical authors, whose work is found in Genesis and Exodus, were probably writing during the eigth century, though some would give them an earlier date. One is known as 'J' because he calls his God 'Yahweh,' the other 'E' since he prefers to use the more formal divine title 'Elohim.' By the eighth century, the Israelites had divided Canaan into two separate kingdoms. J was writing in the southern kingdom of Judah, while E came from the northern kingdom of Israel." [A History of God, Karen Armstrong, p. 12]
