- forty years:
- Josephus says fourscore years; which is sufficiently absurd. Calmet supposes him to have been 18 years old when he came to the throne, and 58 when he died. "And the daysª that¹ Davidª reignedª° over¹ Israelª [were] fortyª years:ª sevenª yearsª reignedª° he in Hebron,ª and thirtyª and threeª yearsª reignedª° he in Jerusalem.ª" {1Kg 2:11}
