I think that is what I thought. The part about the kings being longer lived. But, Numenoreans in general being longer lived than the rest of men. Make sense?

Yes, that's it exactly. I remember reading somewhere that the lifespan of the Royal line was about three times that of the regular guys, and that this ratio remained the same even as the lifespan of both decreased.

Don't remember where I read that, though!
