[[Floyd Nolen Jones]]<ref name=Jones>Jones, Floyd N., ''The Chronology of the Old Testament,'' Green Forest, AR: Master Books, 2004, p. 279 and Chart 4</ref> dates Samuel's career from the date of the Fall of the Temple of Dagon ([[Samson]]'s revenge) to five years before King [[Saul]] fell in battle with the [[Philistine]]s. Archbishop [[William Lloyd]], in 1701, had suggested that Samuel had been born twenty years earlier, as shown in the marginal dates in some surviving copies of the [[Authorized Version]] of the Bible.
