Note 50 — Chapter II · BEFORE DAVID
Reading edition
Gen. xiv. 1; Josephus, “Wars,” VI. x. 1. See my article in “Murray’s Bible Dictionary,” 1908, “Chronology.” The date is now ascertained from the Babylonian Chronicle’s through-reckoning, and from a text of Nabu-nahid, while the same result was reached by Dr. Felix Peiser (Zeitschrift für Assyr. vi. pp. 264–71) in 1891 from the statements of Berosus.
