Shmuel, it appears he died in Year 2884, and five months after this Shaul died [(see Year 2871)]. He was buried in the city of Ramah, and the way to his cave - whoever has any fruit [should bring it], because he was a Nazirite. And his father Elkana and his mother Chana are buried beneath his cave, and close to that is the mikvah of his mother [(BeHaDi)]. And in Sefer Mas'ot Binyamin, when the Notzrim took Ramah from the hands of the Yishmaelim and found there the grave of Shmuel near a synagogue, then they took Shmuel from there and brought him to Shilo and buried him there, and they built upon him a house of prayer and called the house of prayer by his name.

And Shilo is two parasangs from Yerushalayim. And in another place he wrote: at the end of the burial of Shmuel HaTzaddik. [(Seder Hadoros (68, 2) writes that Arcadius Caesar took the bones of Shmuel from where they were and brought them to the kingdom of Tertziah.)]

David reigned in Chevron over his tribe at age thirty, from the year 2884, year 396 from his entry to the land, and so it is in Seder Olam chapter 7 [(and in Seder Hadoros it is written 390, error). And his life, according to some opinions, they entered in 2488, but according to Tzemach David they entered in 2489. And in Yuchsin, Discourse 5, Time 5: from their leaving Egypt until the kingship of David was 440 years, and see Year 3025, 436 from the Exodus of Egypt (and in Seder Olam chapter 7 it is written 430, error)].

And he reigned for seven years and six months [(Shmuel Bet 5) (Tzemach David)].

Ish-Boshet [according to the Tosafot, he reigned for half a year after the death of Shaul (see Year 2889)].

The Mishkan in Givon began after the death of Shaul, when Nov was destroyed in the year 2884, and they took the Mishkan from Nov and brought it to Givon. Even though they offered sacrifices there, there was no Ark of HaShem, as stated in Divrei HaYamim Bet 1:2 [(and in Divrei HaYamim Bet 1:9 and Seder Olam chapter 21)]. And the Mishkan stood there for fifty years until the eternal house [(Seder Olam chapter 14) see Year 2871 (Tzemach David)].
