  Bible prophecy numbers: Noah, Lamech, 777.
That Lamech is descriptive of the number '7,' is further amplified in that the parallel 'Lamech,' born about the same time, also functions on the principle of 7, and 77.
Therefore, the birth of Abraham and entry to Egypt, is positioned perfectly to the birth and death of Lamech so as to be plus and minus 3½ years at the end of the 1260, 1290, 777, and of 700, 486.5 likewise, due the near 215 years between them.
Briefly, as there are 7 literal years between Lamech's death and Arphaxad's (or, Lamech to flood w the "–2"), so there are 7 figurative years from this literal 7 years, unto the Christ, (or 2300 of Daniel 8:14, which is also a part of the 7-years period structure).

Lamech concludes from the child's appearance that his wife was impregnated by one of the watchers (2:1106:5-6) and is struck with fear at the prospect (2:2-3106:4a).
Lamech suspects that the child has been fathered by one of the heavenly beings that were mating with human women, and Enoch summarizes the story and assures Methuselah that Noah is not a child of the watchers.
Lamech's narrative, however, presumes the immorality of the alleged adultery, but focuses on the anger and anguish felt both by himself and by his wife, and indeed on the pleasure of their lovemaking.

 Daily Bible Study - Lamech
Whether Lamech made it plain that he was not going to be victimized by anyone because of Cain, or whether he was speaking of something more personal when he killed a man in self defense isn't clear, but either way he was almost certainly well equipped for battle.

 Bible History, Old Testament: Vol I - Chapter 3
It has been designated "Lamech's Sword-song," and breathes a spirit of boastful defiance, of trust in his own strength, of violence, and of murder.** Of God there is no further acknowledgment than in a reference to the avenging of Cain, from which Lamech augurs his own safety.
Nor is it without special purpose that the names of Lamech's wives and of his daughter are mentioned in Scripture.
Over their family-life might be written, as it were, the names Adah, Zillah, Naamah; over their civil life the "sword-song of Lamech," which indeed strikes the key-note of ancient heathen society; and over their culture and pursuits, the abstract of the biographies which Scripture furnishes us of the descendants of Cain.

Since Genesis 5:27 indicates this was the age at which Methuselah died, it is logical to conclude that he died the year of the Flood.
