less_o odious_a to_o the_o world_n than_o this_o be_v that_o seem_v so_o cruel_a and_o full_a of_o treason_n again_o they_o show_v violence_n that_o when_o god_n have_v reject_v king_n saul_n for_o his_o wickedness_n and_o determine_v to_o depose_v he_o he_o choose_v to_o do_v it_o by_o raise_v of_o david_n against_o he_o and_o by_o defend_v and_o assist_v david_n both_o in_o arm_n and_o

all_o which_o god_n may_v have_v spare_v and_o have_v take_v he_o away_o quiet_o without_o bloodshed_n if_o he_o will_v but_o he_o choose_v this_o second_o way_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o he_o will_v punish_v king_n rehoboam_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o solomon_n his_o father_n tribe_n and_o yet_o spare_v he_o also_o in_o part_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o grandfather_n david_n he_o cause_v

the_o first_o book_n of_o king_n where_o god_n appoint_v elizeus_fw-la the_o prophet_n to_o send_v the_o son_n of_o another_o prophet_n to_o anoint_v jehu_n captain_n of_o joram_n king_n of_o israel_n
