Chapter 2 The practises of Absalom to aspire to the kingdome 14 Dauid and his seruauntes flee 31 Dauids prayer 34 Husai is sent to Absalom to discourse his counsell 1 AFter this Absalō prepared him charettes horses and fiftie men to runne before him 2 And Absalom rose vp early and stoode in the place of the entring in of the gate And euery man that had any matter and came to the king for iudgement him did Absalom cal vnto him and sayde Of what citie art thou He aunswered Thy seruaunt is of one of the tribes of Israel 3 And Absalom said vnto him See thy matters are good and righteous but there is no man deputed of the king to heare thee 4 Absalom sayde moreouer Oh that I were made iudge in the land that euery man which hath any plea and matter in the lawe might come to me and that I might do him iustice 5 And when any man came nye to him and dyd him obeysaunce he put foorth his hande and toke him to him and kissed him 6 And on this maner dyd Absalom to al Israel that came to the king for iudgement so Absalom stale the heartes of the men of Israel 7 And after fourtie yeres Absalom said vnto the king I pray thee let me go to Hebron pay my vowe which I haue vowed vnto the Lorde 8 For thy seruaunt vowed a vowe when I was in Gesur in Siria saying If the Lorde shall bring me againe in deede to Hierusalem I wil serue the Lorde 9 And the king said vnto him Go in peace And so he arose and went to Hebron 10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel saying Assoone as ye heare the voyce of the trumpet blow ye shall say Absalom raigneth in Hebrō 11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Hierusalem that were called And they went with pure heartes not knowing of any thing 12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite Dauids counseller frō his citie Gilo while he offered sacrifices and there was wrought strong treason For the people went and increased with Absalom 13 And ther came a messenger to Dauid and sayde The heartes of the men of Israel are turned after Absalom 14 And Dauid said vnto all his seruaūtes that were with him at Hierusalem Vp that we may flee for we shall not els escape from Absalom Make speede to departe lest he come sodenly catche vs and bring euyll vpon vs and smyte the citie with the edge of the sworde 15 And the kinges seruauntes sayd vnto him Beholde thy seruauntes are redy to do whatsoeuer my lord the king shall appoynt 16 And the king departed and al his housholde at his feete And the king left ten concubines to kepe the house 17 And the king went foorth and all the people at his feete and taried in a place that was farre of 18 And al his seruauntes went about him and all the Cerethites and all the Phelethites and all the Gethites euen sixe hundred men whiche were come after him from Geth went before the king 19 Then sayde the king to Ithai the Gethite Wherfore commest thou with vs Returne and abyde with the king for thou art a straunger depart therfore to thy place 20 Thou camest yesterday and should I vnquiet thee to day to go with vs I will go whyther I can Therfore returne thou cary againe thy brethren Mercy and trueth be with thee 21 And Ithai aunswered the king said As the Lord lyueth and as my lord the king lyueth in what place my lorde the king shal be whether in death or lyfe euen there also will thy seruaunt be 22 And Dauid said to Ithai Come then and go forward And Ithai the Gethite went foorth and all his men and all the children that were with him 23 And all the countrey wepte with a loude voyce all the people went ouer The king also him selfe passed ouer the brooke Cedron and all the people went ouer towarde the waye that leadeth to the wildernesse 24 And lo Sadoc also and all the Leuites were with him bare the arke of the appoyntment of God and they set downe the arke of God and Abiathar went vp vntill the people were all come ouer out of the citie 25 And the king sayde vnto Sadoc Cary the arke of God againe into the citie If I shall finde fauour in the eyes of the Lorde he will bring me againe shewe me both it and the tabernacle therof 26 But if he thus say I haue no lust vnto thee beholde here am I let hym do with me what semeth good in his eyes 27 The king sayde also vnto Sadoc the priest Art not thou a Sear Returne into the citie in peace and take your two sonnes with you Ahimaaz thy sonne and Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar 28 Behold I wil tary in the fieldes of the wildernesse vntil there come some word from you to be tolde me 29 Sadoc therfore and Abiathar caried the arke of God againe to Hierusalem and they taried there 30 And Dauid went vpon mount Oliuet and wept as he went vp and had his head couered went barefoote And all the people that was with him had euery man his head couered as they went vp they wept 31 And one tolde Dauid saying Ahithophel is one of them that haue conspired with Absalom And Dauid sayde O Lorde I pray thee turne the counsell of Ahithophel into foolishnes 32 When Dauid was come to the toppe of the mount he worshipped God and beholde Husai the Arachite came against him with his coate torne and hauing earth vpon his head 33 Vnto whom Dauid sayde If thou go with me thou shalt be a burthen vnto me 34 But if thou returne to the citie and say vnto Absalom I will be thy seruaunt O king as I haue thus long ben thy fathers seruaunt so am I nowe thy seruaunt thou mayest for my sake destroy the counsel of Ahithophel 35 And hast thou not there with thee Sadoc and Abiathar the priestes therfore whatsoeuer thou shalt here out of the kings house thou shalt shewe to Sadoc and Abiathar the priestes 36 And behold they haue there with them their two sonnes Ahimaaz Sadocs sonne and Ionathan Abiathars sonne by them also shal ye sende me all that ye can heare 37 And so Husai Dauids freende went to the citie and Absalom entred into Hierusalem The .xvi. Chapter 1 The infidelitie of Ziba 5 Simei curseth Dauid 16 Husai commeth to Absalom 21 The counsell of Ahithophel for the concubines 1 ANd when Dauid was a
out of the lande of Egypt 10 And it fortuned that when the priestes were come out of the holy place the cloude filled the house of the Lorde 11 That the priestes could not stand and minister because of the cloude for the glory of the Lorde had filled the house of the Lorde 12 Then spake Solomon The Lorde saide that he would dwell in the darke cloude 13 I haue built thee an house to dwell in an habitation for thee to abyde in for euer 14 And the king turned his face and blessed all the congregation of Israel and all the congregation of Israel stoode still 15 And he saide Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel which spake with his mouth vnto Dauid my father hath with his hand fulfilled it saying 16 Sence the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt I chose no citie of all the tribes of Israel to build an house that my name might be therein But I haue chosen Dauid to be ruler ouer my people of Israel 17 And it was in the heart of Dauid my father to build an house for the name of the Lorde God of Israel 18 And the Lorde saide vnto Dauid my father Whereas it was in thyne heart to build an house vnto my name thou diddest well that thou wast so minded 19 Neuerthelesse thou shalt not build the house but thy sonne that shall come out of thy loynes he shall build the house vnto my name 20 And the Lorde hath made good his word that he spake and I am rysen vp in the roome of Dauid my father and sit on the seate of Israel as the Lorde promysed and haue built an house for the name of the Lorde God of Israel 21 And I haue prepared therein a place for the arke wherein is the couenaunt of the Lorde which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the lande of Egypt 22 Solomon stoode before the aulter of the Lorde in the sight of all the congregation of Israel and stretched out his handes toward heauen and sayde 23 Lord God of Israel there is no God like thee in heauen aboue or in the earth beneath thou that kepest couenaunt mercy for thy seruauntes that walke before thee with all their heart 24 Thou that hast kept with thy seruaūt Dauid my father that thou promisedst him Thou spakest also with thy mouth and hast fulfilled it with thyne hand as it is come to passe this day 25 Therfore now Lorde God of Israel keepe with thy seruaunt Dauid my father that thou promisedst him saying Thou shalt not be without a man in my sight to syt on the seate of Israel so that thy childrē take heede to their way that they walke before me as thou hast walked in my sight 26 And now O God of Israel let thy word be verified which thou spakest vnto thy seruaunt Dauid my father 27 Wyll God in deede dwell on the earth Beholde the heauens and heauens of all heauens are not able to contayne thee and how should then this house do it that I haue builded 28 Haue thou therefore respect vnto the prayer of thy seruaunt and to his supplication O Lorde my God to heare the crye and prayer which thy seruaunt 4 And if thou wilt walke before me as Dauid thy father walked in purenes of heart and in righteousnes to do all that I haue commaunded thee and wilt kepe my statutes and my lawes 5 Then will I stablishe the seate of thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer as I promised to Dauid thy father saying Thou shalt not be without a mā vpon the seate of Israel 6 But and if ye and your children turne away from me and will not kepe my commaundementes and my statutes whiche I haue set before you but go and serue other gods worship them 7 Then will I weede Israel out of the lande which I haue geuen them and this house which I haue halowed for my name will I cast out of my sight and Israel shal be a prouerbe and a fable among all nations 8 And this house shal be taken away so that euery one that passeth by it shal be astonied and shall hysse and they shall say Why hath the Lord done thus vnto this lande and to this house 9 And they shal aunswere Because they forsoke the Lorde their God whiche brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt and haue taken hold vpon other gods and haue worshipped them and serued them therfore hath the Lorde brought vpon them all this euyll 10 And it fortuned that at the ende of twentie yeres when Solomon had finished the buylding of the two houses that is to wyte the house of the Lorde and the kinges palace 11 And Hiram the king of Tyre brought Solomon timbre of Cedar firre trees golde and whatsoeuer he desired Then Solomon gaue Hiram twentie cities in the lande of Galilee 12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities whiche Solomon had geuen hym and they pleased him not 13 And he sayde What cities are these which thou hast geuen me my brother And he called them the lande of barren vnto this day 14 And Hiram sent the king sixe score talentes of gold 15 And this is the summe whiche king Solomon raysed for a tribute when he buylded the house of the Lorde and his owne house and Millo and the wall of Hierusalem and Hazor and Megeddo and Gazer 16 For Pharao king of Egypt went vp and toke Gazer and burnt it with fire and slue the Chanaanites that dwelt in the citie and gaue it for a present vnto his daughter Solomons wyfe 17 And Solomon buylt Gazer Beth-horon the neather 18 And Baalath and Thamar in the wildernesse in the lande 19 And all the treasure cities that Solomon had and cities for his charettes and cities for his horsemen and all that Solomon desired and woulde buyld in Hierusalem in Libanon and in all the lande of his dominion 20 And al the people that were left of the Amorites Hethites Pherezites Heuites and Iebusites whiche were not of the children of Israel 21 Their children that were left after them in the lande whom the children of Israel also were not able to destroy those dyd Solomon compell to bring tribute vnto this day 22 But of the children of Israel dyd Solomon make no bondmen But they were men of warre his ministers his lordes his captaynes and rulers of his charettes and his horsemen 23 And these were the lordes that were set ouer Solomons worke euen fiue hundred were they and fiftie and they ruled the people that wrought y e worke 24 And Pharaos daughter came vp out of the citie of Dauid vnto her house which Solomon had buylt for her and then dyd he also buylde Millo 25 And thryse a yere did Solomon offer burnt offringes peace offringes vpon the aulter whiche he buylt vnto the Lorde and he burnt
gaue him a charge concerning this thyng that he shoulde not folowe other gods But he kept not that which the Lorde commaunded him 11 Wherfore the Lorde sayde vnto Solomon Forasmuche as this is done of thee and thou hast not kept myne appoyntment and my statutes whiche I commaunded thee I wil rent the kingdome from thee and will geue it to thy seruaunt 12 Notwithstanding in thy dayes I will not do it because of Dauid thy father but wil take it frō the hand of thy sonne 13 Howbeit I will not take away all the kingdome But will geue one tribe to thy sonne because of Dauid my seruaūt and because of Hierusalem whiche I haue chosen 14 And the Lorde stirred vp an aduersarie vnto Solomon euen one Hadad an Edomite of the kinges seede whiche was in Edom. 15 For when Dauid was in Edom and Ioab the captayne of the hoast was gone vp to burie them that were slaine he smote all the men children in Edom 16 For sixe monethes dyd Ioab remayne there and all Israel till he had destroyed all the men children of Edom. 17 And this Hadad fled and certaine other Edomites of his fathers seruaūtes with hym to come into Egypt Hadad beyng yet a litle childe 18 And they arose out of Madian came to Paran and toke men with them out of Paran and came to Egypt vnto Pharao king of Egypt whiche gaue him an house and appoynted him vittailes and gaue him lande 19 And Hadad gat great fauour in the sight of Pharao so that he gaue him to wyfe the sister of his owne wyfe euen the syster of Thahpenes the queene 20 And the sister of Thahpenes bare him Genubath his sonne whō Thahpenes norished in Pharaos house And Genubath was with Pharaos housholde among the sonnes of Pharao 21 And when Hadad hearde in Egypt that Dauid was layde to sleepe with his fathers that Ioab the captayne of the hoaste was dead also he sayde to Pharao Let me depart that I may go to myne owne countrey 22 Pharao sayde vnto him What hast thou lacked here with me that thou wouldest thus go to thyne owne countrey He aunswered Nothing howbeit let me go 23 And God stirred him vp another aduersarie one Rezon the sonne of Eliada whiche fled from his lorde Hadadezer king of Zoba 24 And he gathered men vnto him and became captayne ouer the companie when Dauid slue them And they went to Damasco and dwelt there and raigned in Damasco 25 Therfore was he an aduersarie to Israel all the dayes of Solomon and this was the mischiefe in that Hadad dyd abhorre Israel and raigned ouer Syria 26 And Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat an Ephrathite of Zareda whose mother was called Zeruah whiche was a wydowe and he Solomons seruaunt lyft vp his hande against the king 27 But this was the cause that he lift vp his hande against the king Solomon buylt Mello and mended the broken places of the citie of Dauid his father 28 And this felowe Ieroboam was a man of strength courage And Solomon sawe the young man that he was able to do the worke he made him ruler ouer all the charge of the house of Ioseph 29 And it chaunced at that season that Ieroboam went out of Ierusalem and the prophete Ahia the Silonite met him by the way hauing a newe mantel on him and they two were alone in the fielde 30 Ahia caught the newe mantel that was on him rent it in twelue peeces 31 And sayd to Ieroboam Take thee ten peeces For thus sayth the Lorde God of Israel Behold I will rent the kingdome out of the handes of Solomon and will geue ten tribes to thee 32 And he shal haue one for my seruaunt Dauids sake and for Hierusalem the citie which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel 33 Because they haue forsaken me haue worshipped Astharoth the god of the Zidons and Chamos the god of the Moabites Milcom the god of the children of Ammon haue not walked in my wayes to fulfill my pleasure my statutes and my lawes as dyd Dauid his father 34 I will not take the whole kingdome out of his hand But I will make him chiefe all his lyfe long for Dauid my seruauntes sake whom I chose because he kept my commaundementes and my statutes 35 But I will take the kingdome out of his sonnes hande and will geue it vnto thee euen ten tribes of it 36 And vnto his sonne will I geue one tribe that Dauid my seruaunt may haue a light alway before me in Hierusalem the citie which I haue chosen me to put my name there 37 And I will take thee and thou shalt raigne according to all that thy soule desireth and shalt be king ouer Israel 38 And if thou hearken vnto all that I commaunde thee and wilt walke in my wayes and do that is right in my sight that thou kepe my statutes and my commaundementes as Dauid my seruaunt dyd then will I be with thee and buyld thee a sure house as I buylt for my seruaunt Dauid and will geue Israel vnto thee 39 And I will for this offence whiche Solomon hath committed vexe the seede of Dauid but nor for euer 40 Solomon sought therfore to kil Ieroboam and Ieroboam arose and fled into Egypt vnto Sisac king of Egypt and continued there in Egypt vntill the death of Solomon 41 The rest of the wordes that concerne Solomon and all that he dyd and his wysdome are they not written in the booke of the wordes of Solomon 42 The tyme that Solomon raigned in Hierusalem vpon al Israel was fourtie yeres 43 And Solomon slept with his fathers and was buried in the citie of Dauid his father and Rehoboam his sonne raigned in his steade The xii Chapter 1 Rehoboam succeedeth Solomon 8 He refuseth the counsel of the auncient 20 Ieroboam raigneth ouer Israel 21 God commaundeth Rehoboam not to fight 28 Ieroboam maketh golden calues 1 ANd Rehoboam went to Sichē for all Israel were come to Sichem to make him king 2 And when Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat whiche was yet in Egypt heard of it for he fled to Egypt from the presence of king Solomon and dwelt in Egypt 3 So they sent and called him and Ieroboam and all the congregation of IsIsrael came spake vnto Rehoboam saying 4 Thy father made our yocke greeuous nowe therfore make thou the greeuous seruice of thy father and his sore yocke whiche he put vpon vs lighter and we will serue thee 5 And he sayde vnto them Depart yet for the space of three dayes and then come againe to me And the people departed 6 And king Rehoboam toke counsel with the olde men that stoode before Solomon his father while he yet lyued and sayd What counsel geue ye that I may haue matter to aunswere this people 7 And they sayd vnto him If thou be a seruaunt vnto this people this day and
blowers and the singers so agreed that it seemed but one voyce in praysing thanking the Lorde And when they lift vp their voyce with the trumpets cymbales and other instrumentes of musicke and when they praysed the Lord How that he is good and that his mercie lasteth euer the house of God was filled with a cloude 14 So that the priestes coulde not endure to minister by the reason of the cloude For the maiestie of the Lorde had filled the house of God The .vi. Chapter 3 Solomon blesseth the people 4 He prayseth the Lorde 14 He prayeth vnto God for those that shall pray in the temple 1 THen Solomon sayde The Lord hath spoken howe that he wil dwell in the darcke cloude 2 And I haue buylt thee an house of habitation for thee and a place for thy dwelling for euer 3 And the king turned his face and blessed the whole congregation of Israel all the congregation of Israel stoode 4 And he sayde Blessed be the Lord God of Israel which hath with his handes fulfilled it that he spake with his mouth to my father Dauid saying 5 Since the day that I brought my people out of the lande of Egypt I chose no citie among all the tribes of Israel to buylde an house in that my name might be there neither chose I any man to be a ruler ouer my people Israel 6 Sauing that I haue chosen Hierusalem that my name might be there and haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel 7 And when it was in the heart of Dauid my father to buylde an house for the name of the Lorde God of Israel 8 The Lorde sayde to Dauid my father Forasmuch as it was in thyne heart to buylde an house for my name thou diddest well that thou thoughtest in thyne heart 9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not buyld the house but thy sonne which is proceeded out of thy loynes he shall buylde an house for my name 10 The Lorde therefore hath made good his saying that he hath spoken and I am rysen vp in the roome of Dauid my father and am set on the seate of Israel as the Lorde promised and haue buylt an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel 11 And in it haue I put the arke wherein is the couenaunt of the Lorde that he made with the children of Israel 12 And the king stoode before the aulter of the Lorde in the presence of all the congregation of Israel and stretched out his handes 13 For now Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of fyue cubites long and fyue cubites brode and three of heyght and had set it in the middes of the great courte and vpon it he stoode and kneeled downe vpon his knees before al the congregation of Israel and stretched out his handes towarde heauen 14 And sayde O Lorde God of Israel there is no god like thee in heauen and earth which kepest couenaunt shewest mercie vnto thy seruauntes that walke before thee with al their heartes 15 Thou whiche hast kept with thy seruaunt Dauid my father the thinges that thou promisedst him thou saydest it with thy mouth hast fulfilled it with thyne handes as it is to see this day 16 And nowe Lorde God of Israel kepe with thy seruaunt Dauid my father the thinges that thou promisedst him saying Thou shalt in my sight not be without a man that shall sit vpon the seate of Israel so that thy children take heede to their wayes to walke in my lawe as thou hast walked before me 17 And nowe Lord God of Israel let thy saying be true whiche thou spakest vnto thy seruaunt Dauid 18 And wil God in verie deede dwel with men on earth Beholde heauen and heauen aboue all heauens do not contayne thee howe much lesse the house which I haue buylded 19 Let it be thy pleasure therfore to turne to the prayer of thy seruaunt and to his supplication O Lorde my God to hearken vnto the voyce and prayer whiche thy seruaunt prayeth before thee 20 And let thyne eyes be open towarde this house day night ouer this place wherof thou hast sayde that thou wouldest put thy name there to hearken vnto the prayer whiche thy seruaunt prayeth in this place 21 Hearken vnto the prayers of thy seruaunt and of thy people Israel which they pray in this place heare thou I say out of thy dwelling place euen out of heauen heare and be mercifull 22 If a man sinne against his neyghbour and take an oth agaynst hym and make him to sweare and they both come before thyne aulter in this house 23 Then heare thou from heauen and do and iudge thy seruauntes that thou rewarde the vngodly recompence hym his way vpon his head and iustifie the righteous and geue him according to his righteousnes 24 And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemie because they haue sinned against thee Yet if they turne geue thankes vnto thy name and make intercession and pray before thee in this house 25 Then heare thou from heauen and be merciful vnto the sinne of thy people Israel and bryng them againe vnto the lande which thou gauest to them and to their fathers 26 When heauen is shut vp and there be no

merciful vnto the sinne of thy seruauntes of thy people Israel and guyde thou them into the good way to walke in and send rayne vpon thy lande whiche thou hast geuen vnto thy people for an

plage or sickenesse it be 29 Then what supplications and prayers soeuer shal be made of any man and of all thy people Israel which shall know euery man his owne sore and his owne griefe shall stretche
