Meaning of Numbers: The Number 1313
The possible meaning of the number 1313 in the Bible is unclear. It might, however, be partly related to Sabbatical years and the Biblical calendar.
In 1313 B.C. a man named Othniel was a Judge over ancient Israel. He was only the second of a line of Judges that began with Joshua in 1398 B.C. and ended with the prophet Samuel's sons in 1050 B.C.
God allowed Israel, after they began to indulge in idolatry, to be oppressed for eighteen years by Chushanrishathaim who was the king of Mesopotamia (Judges 3:8). At seventeen letters Chushanrishathaim, a name which means "twice-wicked Cushan," is the second longest name in Scripture. After the Israelites cried out to the Lord he raised up Othniel to defeat the enemy!.
