Shelah was born 1824 AC / 2421 BCE Cainan @ 130.4 He is also recorded born 1694 AC / 2551 BC; Arphaxad @ 35.5 He was the son of Cainan (Gen 10).2 Shelah died 2257 AC / 1988 BCE @ 433 ( 30 + 403.)6
He became the father of Eber 1854 AC / 2391 BCE ; Shelah @ 30.7
There is a descrepency between texts here. Most Hebrew text omit Cainan, while the Septuagint includes him. My dating is assuming the Septuagint version, which includes Cainan.8
