This isn't from the bible. It is the beginning of the The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln. A score is an older word meaning 20, so 4 x score or 4 x 20 is 80... plus 7. He's saying 87 years before the speech, the pilgrims came to America. etc etc...
A score means twenty. Therefore, Lincoln's speech which said "four score and seven years ago" is referring to 87 years ago.
