CHRON. 24. CHAP. 17.18 VERSES And after the death of Ichoiada came the Princes of Iudah and did reuerence to the King and the King harkened vnto them And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers and serued groues and Idols and wrath came vpon Iudah and Ierusalem because of this their trespasse IN this portion of Scripture Right worshipfull and beloued in our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ the spirit of God setteth downe the lamentable fall of King Ioash vnto Idolatrie which was by the malice of Sathan effected by his Princes but before we come to speake of the wordes set downe in this Text it shall not bee amisse to consider diuers circumstances going before which are verie pertinēt to this place In which circumstāces first we may obserue the prouidēce of God in preseruing this yong king Ioash from the cruell tyrannie of Athalia who after the death of Ahaziah his father caused all the kings lynage to be slaine to the ende that she might vsurpe the kingdome and so raigne as Queene ouer Iudah and Ierusalem Which thing she brought to passe for a time but the Lord who ouerthroweth the practises of the wicked whē it pleaseth him deliuered this yong infant out of her bloodie hands by the good policie of Iehosheba his fathers sister who did steale the child away that he might not be put to death according to the commandement of that blood thirstie woman and caused him to be kept secretly in the bedchamber of the house of the Lord All which time wicked Athalia raigned ouer the people But when the appointed time was come and that Ioash being of the age of seuen years that Grandcaptaine and holy high priest of the Lord Iehoiada brought forth this child with great solemnitie and caused him to be crowned king ouer the people and commaunded the vsurping Queene to be put to death which thing was performed accordingly by the iust iudgement of God she being troaden vnder the feete of horses And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene him and the people 2. Chro. 23.16 and the king that they should be the Lords people all which time the land inioyed her peace And Iehoiada was protector to the king from time to time teaching him the feare of the Lord insomuch that the young king grew to be more forward in the Law of God giuen by Moses as also in repairing of the Temple then any of the Priests or Leuites which zeale and forwardnes of his continued all the lifetime of Iehoiada which forwardnes of King Ioash in religion and repairing of the Temple as also the bloodie Tragedy of Athalia with the courage and boldnes of Iehoiada I will referre you to the chapter going before as also this out of which I haue chosen my Text with the 11. and 12. chapters of the 2. booke of the Kings where the holy Ghost hath most largely and amplie set downe this historie vnto vs. Now let vs come to the words as they lie in order to be handled and after the death of Iehoiada c. In these words I obserue fiue speciall circumstances the three first are contained in the 17. verse the other two in the 18. verse In the first there is offered vnto our considerations by the holy Ghost the time when these princes came to seduce Ioash and that is set down in these words After the death of Iehoiada came the princes of Iuda c. In the second we are to consider the manner of their comming in these words And they did reuerence vnto the King In the third the willing and readie consent of the King vnto their counsell in these words And the King hearkened vnto them In the fourth is set downe the matter wherein the king obeyed them in these words And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers and serued groues Idols In the fift and last is set downe the iust iudgement of God against the king Princes and people for their rebellion and disobedience in these words And wrath came vpon Iuda and Ierusalem because of this their trespasse Concerning the first which is the time wherin Sathan stirred vp his instruments to wit these princes of Iuda to alienate and withdraw the heart of this yong king from the true feare and seruice of God wherin he was trained vp by Gods high Priest it is said to be after that death of Iehoiada By which practise of Satā we may see that to be verified in this king which Peter speaketh of in his first Epistle and last chapter The
