1 Kings 2:11
"And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years,.... So says Eupolemus (s), an Heathen writer, which are thus reckoned: seven years reigned he in Hebron; the six

months over are omitted, Sa2 5:5 ; this part of his reign was over Judah only: and thirty three years reigned he in Jerusalem; over the twelve tribes, in all forty, which round number is only given; though in fact he reigned six months more. (s) Apud Euseb. Praepar. Evangel. l. 9. c. 30.
