To determine the correct chronological order of kings who ruled from Jerusalem in the united kingdom and then in the southern kingdom of Judah, we need to list the rulers in the correct sequence based on historical accounts.

1. **David** - He was the second king of Israel and ruled from approximately 1010 to 970 BCE. He established Jerusalem as the capital of the united kingdom of Israel.

2. **Manasseh** - He was a king of Judah who ruled from about 687 to 642 BCE. He was one of the longest-reigning kings of Judah, known for his idolatrous practices, but he later made reforms.

3. **Josiah** - He became king of Judah after Manasseh and ruled from approximately 640 to 609 BCE. He is known for his religious reforms and for rediscovering the Book of the Law during temple renovations.

Therefore, the correct chronological order of the kings from your list is:

**David, Manasseh, Josiah**.
