Kings of Judah and of the United Monarchy

[The Mikado]

No Northern Kingdom types, sorry Ahab fanboys. For the first several rounds we will be eliminating TWO names.

SAUL
DAVID
SOLOMON
REHOBOAM (United, then Judah)
ABIJAM
ASA
JEHOSHAPHAT
JEHORAM (sometimes known as Joram)
AHAZIAH
ATHALIAH (Queen regent, then usurper)
JEHOASH
AMAZIAH
UZZIAH
JOTHAM
AHAZ
HEZEKIAH
MANASSEH
AMON
JOSIAH
JEHOAHAZ
JEHOIAKIM
JECONIAH
ZEDEKIAH

I'm going to start us off with two votes for Jehoiakim and Zedekiah. If the city gets sacked under your watch, you're going to really have to do a number to convince me of your merits, and Zedekiah's willful ignorance of the warnings of Jeremiah count off.

[The Mikado]

Farewell to Jehoiakim and Rehoboam.

Pick two to eliminate.

SAUL
DAVID
SOLOMON
REHOBOAM (United, then Judah)
ABIJAM
ASA
JEHOSHAPHAT
JEHORAM (sometimes known as Joram)
AHAZIAH
ATHALIAH (Queen regent, then usurper)
JEHOASH
AMAZIAH
UZZIAH
JOTHAM
AHAZ
HEZEKIAH
MANASSEH
AMON
JOSIAH
JEHOAHAZ
JEHOIAKIM
JECONIAH
ZEDEKIAH

I'm going with Zedekiah and Manasseh.

[The Mikado]

So much for Zedekiah and Manasseh.

Pick two to eliminate.

SAUL
DAVID
SOLOMON
REHOBOAM (United, then Judah)
ABIJAM
ASA
JEHOSHAPHAT
JEHORAM (sometimes known as Joram)
AHAZIAH
ATHALIAH (Queen regent, then usurper)
JEHOASH
AMAZIAH
UZZIAH
JOTHAM
AHAZ
HEZEKIAH
MANASSEH
AMON
JOSIAH
JEHOAHAZ
JEHOIAKIM
JECONIAH
ZEDEKIAH

Let's lose Amon and Athaliah. (Eliminating the pagans is a good starting point, I think).
