In this episode, I refer to a number of articles and charts I shared with the people who view this study in its original form live on Facebook. Here are links to them:

The Genealogy of the Kings of Ancient Israel and Judah
The Battle of Carchemish
Philstines
Origin of the Palestinians
Doom and Gloom (Jeremiah 46-51)
