* A.M. 2983. B.C. 1021. An. Ex. Is. 470. forty years.
As David reigned in the whole only forty years, this reading
is evidently corrupt, though supported by the commonly printed
Vulgate, LXX., and Chaldee. But the Syriac, Arabic, Josephus,
Theodoret, the Sixtine edition of the Vulgate, and several
MSS. of the same version, read four years; and it is highly
probable that {arb(8369)m,} forty, is an error for {arb(832c)} four,
though not supported by any Hebrew MS. yet discovered. Two of
those collated by Dr. Kennicott, however, have {yom,} "day,"
instead of {shanah,} "year," i.e., forty days instead of forty
years; but this is not sufficient to outweigh the other
authorities.
