Leaders - Chronological and Mobile Friendly Ed.

Below are a set of Quick Reference Tables showing the leaders of the bible in chronological order.  There is an overall list (large) and then after that a break down of the four basic types of leaders in the bible matching the other article.  (These tables also include early Patriarchs as well).   There are some arbitrary comments that may help you to remember them.  (Remember "there is no-one good but God" to quote Jesus.)

Leadership

If you are like me, the seemingly endless list of leaders in the bible confuses me.  Who is who in the zoo and were they a good leader or a bad leader is overwhelming.  Below Zuko tries to simplify the whole mess.  There were five broad categories of leaders in the bible.  Patriarchs, Prophets, Judges, Kings and Roman rule like Governors. Only the last four are discussed here as the Patriarchs often stand out nicely on their own but the others get confused.
