ACTS 13:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.”
All this took about four hundred and fifty years — Paul collapses the period from Joshua through the judges into a summary figure (cf. 1 Kings 6:1), using numerical symbolism common in Jewish homiletics. The round number emphasizes the vastness of God's patience and provision rather than precise chronology.
