Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

old   David was probably now about sixty-nine years of age. He was thirty years old when he began to reign, reigned forty, and died in his seventieth year; and the transactions mentioned here are supposed to have taken place about a year before his death. Sixty-nine was not an advanced age; but he had been exhausted with various fatigues, and especially family afflictions, so that he was much older in constitution than in years. 2Sa 5:4; 1Ch 23:1; 1Ch 29:27,28; Psa 90:10
and stricken in years   Heb. and entered into days. Gen 18:11; Gen 24:1; Jos 23:1,2; Luk 1:7
