About the game

Kings Ladder takes you through every king from Saul to Zedekiah: the united kingdom, Israel in the north (19 kings) and Judah in the south (20 rulers). It helps you keep the long story of 1 and 2 Kings and 1 and 2 Chronicles straight.

There are four ways to play. Climb the Ladder puts the kings in order, Right or Evil? asks for the Bible’s verdict on each king, Match the Prophet asks who spoke in his days, and Side by Side lines up Israel and Judah together. Choose a kingdom, or all of them, and a level: Teens (fewer choices, with hints) or Adults (more choices, names only). Two players can take turns on one device, and the questions can be read aloud.

Study the kings shows every king on a timeline: tap any king to learn about him. Kings I know keeps track of every answer you give, so you can see which kings you’ve mastered. Optional BC dates follow Edwin R. Thiele’s widely-adopted reckoning, with Leslie McFall’s correction for Hezekiah. Lengths of reign are the Bible’s own figures.
