Abstract

In the Masoretic Text of the 1-2 Kings there is one formula for expressing the synchronisms of the regnal formulas of the kings of Israel and Judah in Hebrew: ( שָׁנהָ ) [year] ,בִשנְׁתַ and two more formulas for expressing the supplementary synchronisms: [yeaַr֠] בשַנָׁהָ ה and שָׁנהָ year בִ. However, these three expressions are represented by four expressions in Greek (LXX): ἐν ἔτει [year] (ἔτει); ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ [year]; ἐν τῷ [year] ἔτει; ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ [year]. Our purpose is threefold: firstly, to find out why there are three different formulas in hebrew to express synchronisms; secondly, to explain why only one is used in the regnal formulas; and finally, to determine the relationship between the Hebrew and the Greek formulas to verify whether the Hebrew source of the Old Greek text (OG) was different or not.
