He was born about 3339 BC, lived for 969 years, and died about 2370 BC, the year in which the flood began. (Insight from the Scriptures Volume 2).
(Genesis 5:27) So all the days of Me‧thu′se‧lah amounted to nine hundred and sixty-nine years and he died.
Methuselah is special because he was The Bible's oldest living human and, according to Genesis, lived to the age of 969, the year of Noah's Flood.
He became a father at 187, which is a multiple of 17 (11x17), and died at 969, which is also a multiple of 17 (57x17). This is especially interesting because the people who feature in early Hebrew tradition (from Adam to Joshua) had lifespans that could be reduced to a formula based on the number 17, indicating the use of numerology in arriving at their ages. Ignoring the physical improbability of any human remaining celibate for nearly 187 years or living for 969 years, there is only 1 chance in 289 that the oldest living man would become a father at a multiple of 17 and then die at a multiple of 17 years. If we think of Methuselah as a real, historical person, this improbability suggests that he could only have lived a short life similar to the lifespans of other humans since earliest times.
Answer:
According to tradition (Genesis ch.5), Metushelach (Methuselah) lived close to one thousand years (969). The exceptionally-long lifespans of the pre-Flood generations is a tradition not only in Judaism; it is recorded in other early nations too (such as the oldest entries in the King-Lists of China, India and Sumer). Interestingly, Maimonides has suggested that only certain leaders enjoyed such long lives, not the general populace.

it was Methuselah. Methuselah is the oldest person mentioned in the Bible. He lived to be 969 years old (Genesis 5:27). In Genesis 5, Methuselah is listed as a descendent of Adam, who also lived nearly a millennium. Methuselah and Adam are not the only persons mentioned in the Bible living over 900 years. Adam lived to be 930 years old.
