Acts 13:20

Samuel

18 He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.

19 And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.

All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.

22 After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’
