[There are no materials by which to date, with any approach to accuracy, the events
of the reigns of David and Solomon. Each of them is stated to have reigned forty years.
This is possibly only a 'round number.' If we accept it, we should date David's reign
1018—978 B.C., and Solomon's 978—938 B.C.]
