How long did Job suffer? years, months days and did Job first wife die or just marry again.
The Bible does not specifically address your questions and commentators make few suppositions regarding the duration of Job’s affliction or details respecting Job’s wife. Consequently, we have nothing to divulge regarding Job’s wife (i.e., whether she died or was the same wife by which Job fathered more children, whether Job married another woman). However, following are three citations that reason Job was about 70 years old when the calamities struck, supposing that to his life was added a double portion of what he already attained, comparable to the doubling of his former possessions, excepting his children (and wife).
His life was long. What age he was when his troubles came we are nowhere told, but here we are told he lived 140 years, whence some conjecture that he was 70 when he was in his troubles, and that so his age was doubled, as his other possessions. (Henry)
The supposition that he was about seventy years of age when his calamities came upon him, is not an unreasonable one. (Barnes, Albert)
After his affliction, Job lived 140 years, just about double his former years. (Strauss)
