Dates were taken from the NIV Study Bible notes. Some of the dates require more nuance than is found in this chart. The NIV Study Bible lists Hosea simply as the middle of the 8th century b.c.
The notes for the NASB place Obadiah as an exilic prophet. His time period is disputed. Joel's prophetic ministry is also disputed.
