Author Comments: 

Arbitrary limit of 40 years. Several of these, especially the early Japanese, are somewhat spurious (but not as much a Sumerian king that supposedly lasted up to 1200 years).

I didn't do a lot of in depth research and there are a lot of countries I didn't even look at, so additions/corrections would be appreciated.

I don't really take offense but it seems you have overlooked King Baudouin 1 who reigned over Belgium from 1951 to 1993...

pianoshootis09/20/2005

Profuse apologies. I'll get him in the next update for sure.

Penny09/20/2005

So no kings from, um, that one book?

pianoshootis09/21/2005

What book?

Penny09/21/2005

B-i-b-l-e.

pianoshootis09/26/2005

Any particular Bible Kings in mind?

Penny09/26/2005

Well, let's see...I could look in the book of Kings (I love that). Or I could go to the first chapter of the New Testament and begin with David.

Added David and Jeroboam II with 40 years apiece.
