And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty gears: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three.

and the days that David hath reigned over Israel are forty years, in Hebron he hath reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he hath reigned thirty and three years.

David was king over Israel for forty years: for seven years he was king in Hebron and for thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.

Forty years - In all forty years and six months. See 2-Samuel 5:5, and 1-Chronicles 3:4. The Jewish writers almost universally omit the fractions of a year.

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, 2-Samuel 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.
