Wait! This no longer sounds like dialogue :-)

Well, how about that :^)

OK, we're back to dialogue (sort of :-)

This sounds like you've given me the argument! You are now resorting to
"blind questions." Does the Bible not say Solomon ruled 40 years??? How
do YOU answer that? But, in the spirit of dialogue, let's take a look at
"what you lead with."
*First of all, Ezekiel clearly indicates nothing. I am getting a headache
trying to figure how you get all of that out of Ezekiel 4:1-5. Such a
headache that I am not going to even try to open up my Believer's Bible
Commentary (MacDonald). Please show how Ezekiel 4:1-5 clearly shows
ANYTHING.
