9 Samuel could not have been more than 38 when Eli died. Then, Israel
was lamenting the loss of the ark more than 20 years. Samuel judged

16 The reader will perceive some difference in the dates, and also in
the spelling between this list and the list of Bishops, p. 315. This
difference arises from the following of different authorities in the
chronology and spelling by the compilers of the two lists. It will
be seen that they agree in the order of succession, with one or two
exceptions. The fourth and fifth names in _this_ list are generally
considered as the same individual, and the best authorities place
him before Clement. The other apparent differences in the succession
are caused by the inserting in _this_ list of the names of all who
were in the see of Rome at any time; while in the other, those who
were not lawful bishops of Rome are omitted.
