She gives 915-70, whereas this article gives 920-990. Could someone who has access to reference books please check the sources and decide which of these two is more likely to be correct? Kanjuzi (talk) 10:34, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

"Life" section
I've expanded the "Life" section by translating the material on the Hebrew WP page. Unfortunately there are no sources given there, so I have no idea how accurate the information is, but it's better than the tiny stub we had before. Still missing is anything about his purported "exile" (from where?) which is the subject of the poem attributed below to his wife. The Hebrew WP page has no mention at all of the exile, the wife, or the poem. -- 76.15.128.196 (talk) 05:02, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
