King 15.32,33 52 3249 Ahaz reigned in all 16 years but alone but 13 years 2 King 16.1 with 2 King 17.1 where it appears that Hosheah began to reign in the 12 th year of Ahaz therefore Ahaz reigned 4 years compleat after And that Hezekiah began to reign in the third year of Hoshea therefore he began to reign with his father in the 14 th of Ahaz 16 3262 Hezekiah reigned 29 years 2 King 18.2 that is

the meaning is not that they were all born at a birth but that then he began to beget Now that Shem was not born before two years after appears in that it is said Gen. 11.10 That Shem at one hundred
