Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters.
God records the lineage of the righteous with care and clarity, setting down their years at length so all can see them, while the wicked are left nameless and forgotten. The memory of the just is blessed; the name of the wicked shall rot. These long lives teach us to number our days, for even centuries are but a quick passage.

Commenting on Genesis 5:6-20
And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died. As his father Adam before him. Seth, according to Josephus (l), was a very good man, and brought up his children well, who trod in his steps, and who studied the nature of the heavenly bodies; and that the knowledge of these things they had acquired might not be lost...
Seth bore the image of God as Adam did, yet corrupted by sin transmitted through his father. The recurring refrain "and he died" announces death as an unchangeable law from Adam onward; yet each man fathered children before he fell, so life persisted amid death, and the race endured to bring forth the Seed who would conquer death itself.
