"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 {arbâim,} forty, is an error for {arbâ,} 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. 2Sa 13:38; 1Sa 16:1,13" |
