Biblical Narrative
Other: This file stops at the point of the kingdom's division. The subsequent king-lists of Judah and Israel (2 Kings, 2 Chronicles) — roughly twenty rulers of Judah and nineteen of Israel over the following centuries — are a further extension not yet built, to keep this project to a clear, bounded scope rather than becoming an open-ended royal chronicle.
