Bible Chronology (23): From the Exodus to the Temple (6)

After Saul, David reigned 7 years and 6 months in Hebron, then 33 years from Jerusalem. The 6 months explains the origin of Tishri years for the reigns of the kings of Judah. We also deduce David's age when he killed Goliath, and when his son Absalom rebelled, and the age difference between David and Jonathan.
