Chronology 619-540 BC
Thiele demonstrates that the data of this era falls together remarkably well once it is realized that Kings, Chronicles, portions of Jeremiah quoted from Kings, and Daniel are using Tishri (beginning in Fall) years for both Judah and Babylon, while Ezekiel and the rest of Jeremiah are using Nisan (beginning in Spring) years for both.
