Saul (jan 1, 1022 BC – jan 1, 1010 BC)

Description:

Did Saul reign for 40 years or for 12? See this page:
https://www.thebiblicaltimeline.org/saul/

"The ark was moved to Kirjath Jearim before Saul began to reign. The ark was in Kirjath Jearim for twenty years. David removed the ark from Kirjath Jearim when he made Jerusalem his capital, seven and a half years after he began to reign following Saul’s death. If we hold to a strict twenty years for the ark to be in Kirjath Kearim, the math then allows a maximum reign length for Saul of only twelve and a half years (20 -7.5)"
