Below is an exhaustive list (or an attempt at such) of all the scriptures directly related to biblical chronology. As there are less in the New Testament, a few non specific texts corresponding to persons mentioned in profane chronology are included; as well as a parable and its fulfilment—possibly relating to the length of Jesus’s ministry.
Context is included but, at times, limited. For example the age of Caleb (Joshua 14) needs to be read in the larger context to see that it is at the end ot the initial conquest.
All scriptures are from the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible, although figures (other than 1 Samuel 13 and Acts 13) are unlikely to differ through most other English translations.
Please notify me of any omissions.

He tried to reconcile them by saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you want to hurt each other?’
“But the man who was mistreating the other pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us? Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’ When Moses heard this, he fled to Midian, where he settled as a foreigner and had two sons.
