Footnote

a In Antiquities of the Jews, Book 10, chapter 8, paragraph 4, Flavius Josephus of the first century C.E. assigns twenty years to King Saul. But in Book 6, chapter 14, paragraph 9, Josephus wrote: “Now Saul, reigned eighteen years while Samuel was alive, and after his death two,” to which some Josephus manuscripts add: “and twenty”; making a total of forty years.
