1 Samuel 13:1

Common English Bible

13 Saul was 30 years old^[a] when he became king, and he ruled over Israel forty-two years.^[b]

1 Samuel 13:1 LXX^L; Syr twenty-one; MT lacks a number; 13:1 is omitted in LXX^B.
1 Samuel 13:1 Part of the number is missing in MT (… and two years) and all ancient witnesses. Acts 13:21 says Saul ruled forty years, as does Josephus (Ant. 6.14.9 [378]), though Josephus also says Saul ruled twenty years (Ant. 10.8.4 [143]).

1 Samuel 13:1

New International Version

13 Saul was thirty^[a] years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-^[b] two years.

1 Samuel 13:1 A few late manuscripts of the Septuagint; Hebrew does not have thirty.
1 Samuel 13:1 Probable reading of the original Hebrew text (see Acts 13:21); Masoretic Text does not have forty-.
