Shaphan must have been much older than Josiah, considering that Shaphan’s son Ahikam was a grown man when Josiah was about 25 years old. ​ — 2 Kings 22: 1 - 3, 11 - 14.
Syafan pasti jauh lebih tua daripada Yosia, mengingat putra Syafan, Ahikam, sudah dewasa sewaktu Yosia berusia sekitar 25 tahun. ​ — 2 Raja 22: 1 - 3, 11 - 14.
