and yet Forty Thousand are slain by a most wicked Tribe Thus did God avenge his own cause when none of Israel would be zealous for him against the Idolatry newly set up and yet all of them could be so sensible and vindicative of Injury done to a Whore When God hath used Benjamin to execute his Wrath against Israel for not punishing Dan's and Micha's Idolatry IUDG XXI he useth Israel to punish Benjamin for not delivering up Gibeah to Justice for her Villany Thus is the Story knit to it self Secondly Consider that the beginning of this Book is the proper place for these Histories tho' they be laid in the latter end For II. 1. The Israelites follow Idols after the Death of the Elders Judges iii. Micah is the first that sets it up 2. There is no King in Israel then that is before any Judge rose 3. The Danites are not yet settled that could not be long after Joshua's Death 4. Phinehas is yet alive Chap. xx 28 So that we must needs cast things into the Thirty-second Year ascribed to Othniel's Judgeship before Cushan afflict them Thirdly Consider the Reason why the Stories are so mislay'd It is III. that the Eleven Hundred Pieces of Silver that made Dan's public Idol Chap. xvii 2 and the Eleven Hundred Pieces of Silver from every Philistin Prince Chap. xvi 5 that brought Sampson of Dan to his End untimely might be laid together for secret Instruction to the Reader Then return to Chap. ii ver 11. and from thence to the end of the Sixteenth Chapter IVDG II. ver 11. to the end of Chap. xvi and to the end of the Book But the Book of Ruth to be taken in near the beginning there is no Scruple for Order Only the Book of Ruth is to come in about the beginning of this Book but the exact place where is not easie to find RUTH Thus near you may go Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab Mat. i. 5 and Boaz married Ruth Ruth Ch. ult Salmon came with Joshua into Canaan and Boaz was in the next Generation Allow Rahab to live two Years in Israel before she had a Child by Salmon and withal allow Boaz to be Seventy or Eighty Years old before he marry Ruth yet is Ruth's Story then about Thirty Years before Ehud's Death Their going to sojourn in Moab Ruth i. is likely to be many Years before Moab be Israel's open Enemy ●●dges iii. 12 In casting the Years of the Judges observe that the times of the Afflicters are to be included in the times of the Judges As Chap. iii. Cusham Rishathaim oppressed Seven Years and Othniel judged Forty These Seven Years must be included in the Forty and not be counted as Forty-seven St. Paul reckoneth them at extent Acts xiii 20 He gave them Judges about the space of Four Hundred and Fifty Years SECT X. I. SAMUEL c. THE Seventeen first Chapters of 1 Sam. lye without scruple of Interposition or Transposition CHAP. I. From the beginning of the Book to Chap. xvii From the Seventeenth Chapter forward the Psalms Proverbs c. fall in in their time and order As for the PSALMS it is above the Reach of Man to bring all those to the Time and Occasion Touching the Book of PSALMS wherein and whereupon they were made Sometime the Title resolves us sometime the Phrase gives strong Presumption in some we have no Light at all for these things Those that are titled to Resolution you may easily lay in their Places For the other and for the whole Book of Psalms take these Observations 1. The Psalms are divided into Five Books according to the Five Books of Moses Where a Psalm ends with Amen is the end of a Book Compare them with Moses his Five Books and you will see how sweetly they agree 2. The Jews have this Rule for the Authors of such or such Psalms Those Psalms which have not a Title to express who made them are to be referred to the next Author that is named before So Psalms xci xcii xciii xciv xcv xcvi xcvii xcviii xcix c. by their Rule were made by Moses the Author next named before in Psal. xc in tit The Subject indeed may inforce no less the Psalms treating concerning things done in Moses's time as the Tabernacle the Sabbath the Temptation in the Wilderness c. But Samuel is named in Psal. xcix 6. but it is as David is in Psal. lxxxix 3. There be Psalms which have no Title yet the Subject and Phrase in divers of them give strong Presumption upon the Occasion As Psal. i. upon the Fall of Man by the Counsel of the Ungodly c. And this shews his Reparation by the contrary So when Israel and Judah are parted because of Rehoboam's heavy Yoke 1 Chron. xii Christ that must joyn them again Hos. i. works it by the contrary Take on you my Yoke which is easie and Burden light Psal. ii upon the Fall of Israel from David's House whom God had appointed King in Sion And thus the Fall of Adam and Israel are handled together Psal. cxxxii upon the bringing of the Ark to Jerusalem Which when it was captived from Ephrata or Shiloh in Ephraim and stayed afterward 20 Years in Kiriathjearim the City of the Wood David provides it an Habitation in Jerusalem c. So in divers others the occasion of it self shews it self But I will not forestall your own finding of them 4. Divers Psalms in the Original are Alphabetical but few of them have the Alphabet true for some reason or other admirably Divine So one Letter in Jeremy's Alphabetic Lamentations is altered constantly for secret and sweet Reason 5. For the Order of the Psalms why they be so laid in many of them the Reason shews it self at the first sight in others it requires a narrower Scrutiny The first and second Psalms made upon Occasions so far distant in time yet laid together for special reason as was touched before The Fiftieth Psalm in ver 8 and 14 15. refuseth all Sacrifice but Prayer That the Fifty-first Psalm offers ver 16 17. and easily shews why these two be laid together Psalm cxxxvi the Mercy of God brings them to Possession of the Land of Promise Psalm cxxxvii brings them into Captivity and shews that their living in the Land of Canaan was so sinful that it was not to be mentioned These and other Observations may be gathered out of this exquisite Book of the Psalms conducing to further the Understanding in reading it But your Eyes be their own Observers and Judges 1 SAM xvii Here take in Psalm ix made upon Goliah's Death 1 SAM xviii xix at ver 12. take in Psalm lix 1 SAM xx xxi at ver 12. take in Psalm lvi and at the end of the Chapter Psalm xxxiv 1 SAM xxii here take Psalm lii 1 SAM xxiii about ver 24. comes in Psalm liv 1 SAM xxiv at ver 4. read Psalm lvii 1 SAM xxv xxvi at

I. fall to Wars and Sihon taketh Land from Moab that Israel might take it from him that was an Amorite for with a Moabite they might not meddle So Adonibezek and his Neighbour Kings fall to civil Wars and he conquers Seventy of them ready to Israel's Hand So that when they have conquered him they have conquered so many They cut off his Thumbs and great Toes and bring him to the great Town of the Kingdom Jerusalem and there for Terror to others do publickly kill him The things next related after the Overthrow of Adonibezek as the taking of Hierusalem Hebron and Kiriath Sepher were done in Joshua's time But they are rehearsed for this reason that we might see that Judah was chosen General after Joshua's Death by God That Israel might war under one to whom they were used and acquainted For Judah was made General by Joshua even in his Life-time And this Matter of Othniel named here to shew why he is made Judge afterward In the rest of the Chapter the Order is proper only whereas some things are mentioned here which are mentioned in Joshua's Book as ver 27 29. about Israel's not expelling the Canaanites it is to shew that as it was not done before Joshua's Death so neither was it done after For which they have heavy tidings from God Joshua's Age and Death mentioned again IVDG II. to v. 11. then read CHAPP XVII XVIII XIX XX XXI of this Book to shew that in his time all was well with them After the Tenth Verse of this Chapter take in the XVII XVIII XIX XX XXI Chapters of this Book for hereabout is their Order For howsoever these these Stories be laid in the end of the Book yet were the things there mentioned done before any Judge arose in Israel For the evidencing of which consider First the Connexion of the Passages there mentioned one to another I.
