Acts 13:17-21

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out from it.

For a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness.

When He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land as an inheritance—all of which took about 450 years.

After these things He gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
