I agree. David ruled for 40 years.
In 2 Samuel 5:4 (ESV)- "David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years." The first temple was destroyed 477 and a half years after David.
What I love about Josephus is his historical approach in his writing. Aside from NT, He is one of the few who historically testifies the existence of Jesus Christ.
