Tyrian King List (with contemporaries)
Associated to Place: AncientWorlds > Mesopotamia > Phoenicia > Tyre > articles -- by * Apiladey ApilSin (4 Articles), General Article
A list, in table form, of all the known kings of Tyre, with their neighboring contemporaries.

This list is a combination of the lists in the books, The Phoenicians and the West (1997) by Maria Eugenia Aubet and The Heritage of Tyre (1992) ed. Martha Sharp Joukowsky. The two kings lists differed slightly, and my combination doesn't exactly fit either one. Though there still aren't many dates given, a better list of the kings of Israel is given here.
