kings of Israel and Judah

So, I did a study of the kings of Israel and Judah; and thought I would share my list for anyone interested. It's hard to format to show the chronology/who was ruling at the same time as who - so, I'll just list them seperately for this blog.
Kings of the Northern tribes of Israel=

I looked at Chronicles too; but didn't list those passages for this blog. When it says, "right" that means that it said of that king: "did right in the sight of the Lord" - although, it was often qualified by big sins that the king committed -- none of the kings were perfect.
