Kings of Israel and Judah

So we’re reading about all the kings of Israel and Judah and all the wars they get into.  There are a lot of characters to keep track of and, for me, the names are a bit unfamiliar (even after hearing them at least once before!).  So I’ve culled from various websites a table of the kings and estimated dates on their reigns.  While this list and the overlap between these folks is correct, the dates are definitively estimates – I saw variations of up to 10 years on some of these, but went with the ones that were most consistent.
