some_o particular_a reason_n why_o the_o bow_n be_v instance_a here_o and_o that_o be_v this_o because_o whereas_o jehu_n do_v many_o memorable_a thing_n in_o his_o warlike_a affair_n yet_o none_o more_o than_o that_o he_o do_v by_o his_o bow_n mark_v that_o place_n 2_o king_n 9_o 24._o and_o jehu_n draw_v a_o bow_n with_o his_o full_a strength_n and_o smite_v jeroboam_n between_o his_o arm_n

when_o they_o be_v use_v they_o can_v have_v no_o success_n at_o all_o but_o by_o he_o and_o so_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n in_o a_o peculiar_a sense_n he_o be_v the_o great_a

then_o god_n break_v the_o bow_n when_o he_o please_v for_o as_o god_n have_v a_o providence_n over_o all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n so_o there_o be_v a_o specialty_n of_o providence_n of_o

but_o what_o be_v this_o valley_n of_o jezreel_n it_o be_v worthy_a our_o time_n to_o inquire_v after_o this_o valley_n of_o jezreel_n wherein_o god_n will_v break_v the_o bow_n of_o israel_n there_o be_v two_o place_n call_v jezreel_n the_o one_o belong_v to_o judah_n josh_n 15._o the_o other_o belong_v to_o israel_n josh_n 17._o 16._o &_o chap._n 19_o 18._o jezreel_n be_v a_o fruitful_a valley_n ten_o mile_n long_o and_o by_o it_o there_o be_v a_o famous_a city_n build_v which_o be_v in_o ahab_n time_n the_o principal_a seat_n the_o metropolis_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o there_o be_v a_o

and_o jezreel_n as_o we_o in_o england_n have_v two_o principal_a city_n london_n and_o york_n but_o this_o jezreel_n be_v the_o most_o fortify_v in_o which_o they_o put_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o

if_o we_o can_v fortify_v our_o city_n against_o sin_n we_o may_v soon_o fortify_v they_o against_o a_o enemy_n if_o sin_n once_o get_v in_o the_o enemy_n will_v quick_o follow_v nah._n 3._o 12._o

people_n of_o israel_n as_o judge_n deal_v with_o malefactor_n they_o will_v hang_v they_o up_o there_o where_o the_o fact_n be_v commit_v as_o we_o see_v some_o hang_v up_o in_o chain_n near_o to_o

and_o the_o blood_n of_o jehoram_n and_o there_o will_v god_n break_v the_o bow_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o guilty_a conscience_n be_v many_o time_n afraid_a to_o go_v near_o to_o the_o place_n where_o they_o have_v commit_v wickedness_n because_o their_o conscience_n will_v fly_v in_o their_o face_n for_o fear_n god_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o in_o the_o place_n where_o the_o fact_n be_v do_v but_o further_a 2._o he_o will_v break_v the_o bow_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o valley_n of_o jezreel_n that_o be_v in_o that_o fortify_v place_n in_o which_o they_o do_v so_o much_o glory_n this_o be_v
