This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
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
