The Life of Shelah

Start — Genesis 11:12. The year of Shelah (son of Arpachshad)'s birth is the year his father, Arpachshad, was born (1660) + the age of his father at Shelah (son of Arpachshad)'s birth (35) = 1695
End — Genesis 11:15. The year of Shelah (son of Arpachshad)'s death is the year his son, Eber (descendant of Shem, son of Shelah), was born (1725) + the years Shelah (son of Arpachshad) lived after his son's birth (403) = 2128

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
