Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the days that David reigned over Israel [were] forty years,.... So says Eupolemus s, an Heathen writer, which are thus reckoned:

seven years reigned he in Hebron; the six months over are omitted, 2 Samuel 5:5; this part of his reign was over Judah only:

and thirty three years reigned he in Jerusalem; over the twelve tribes, in all forty, which round number is only given; though in fact he reigned six months more.

s Apud Euseb. Praepar. Evangel. l. 9. c. 30.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Forty years - In all forty years and six months. See 2 Samuel 5:5, and 1 Chronicles 3:4. The Jewish writers almost universally omit the fractions of a year.
