1 Kings 1:1 (King James Version)
Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
- 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.
