one to be called by diuerse names or he beeing a straunger his name might be somewhat altered in the pronuntiation as names are when they are vsed or taken vp in a straunge language Mart. 2. For his nation and kinred Kimhi thinketh he was not a Iebusite for they were Cananites and commanded to be rooted out he rather taketh it he was of the race of Abimelech But the text saith he was a Iebusite which is of a more credite then any other humane coniecture though he were a Iebusite yet he might be spared beeing conuerted to the faith of Israel 3. Some thinke he had beene the King of the Iebusites Vatab. Osiand and that by his meanes the fort of Sion was deliuered vp but these things are vncertaine he is in deed called a king v. 23. in respect of his princely liberalitie v. 23. Genevens and it is like he was some principall man among his owne nation and of great authoritie Borrh. for it seemeth by this that all the Iebusites were not expelled Ierusalem but there remained some either conuerted to their faith or else they became tributarie and seruants vnto them sure it is that he was one of Dauids chiefe freinds and was spared when the rest of the Iebusites were ouercome at the taking of the fort of Sion Ioseph 4. In that Dauid commeth to build an Altar in the ground of a straunger it was an euident type of the vocation of the Gentiles among whome the Lord would haue his Church Mart. Quest. 18. Of Araunah his liberalitie and why David refused it 1. Araunah in this bountifull offer to the King to giue him both oxen for the sacrifice and other instruments for wood sheweth the liuely fruites of faith in those that are truely conuerted vnto God Mart. and he was a type of the Gentiles who beeing called to the faith of Iesus thought nothing too deare for Gods seruice Pellican 2. Yet Dauid would not accept of this kindnesse both in regard of Araunah whose ground he would not take from him for beeing once consecrated vnto the worship of God it could no more returne to the former owner or be priuately vsed and in respect of himselfe he would not offer vnto God a meane thing not in it selfe but because it cost Dauid nothing and so the seruice should haue beene done rather by Araunah then by Dauid Dauid therefore here according to that saying of Salomon Honour the Lord with thy riches Prov. 3.9 would offer vnto God of his owne and not of an others Mart. Quest. 19. v. 24. Of the price which Dauid bought Araunahs threshing floore at Here it is said that he bought the threshing floore and the oxen for 50. sheckles of siluer but 1. Chron. 21.15 it is thus written that he gaue for the place 600. shekles of gold by weight 1. The Hebrewes say that because this place was to serue for a publike vse to build a Temple in euerie tribe gaue 50. sheckles which counting 12. tribes maketh in all 600. sheckles and that the sheckles were gathered in siluer and by Dauid turned into gold But this purchase was made vpon the present Dauid had no time to make any such collection among the tribes 2. Some thinke that Dauid gaue 50. sheckles at the first vpon the purchase and afterward 600. sheckles of his liberalitie ex Martyr but it is not like that Dauids franke gift should so much exceed the iust price 3. Some thinke that Dauid gaue 50. sheckles for some part and bought as much afterward as came to 550. sheckles more Genevens but these two summes can not be put together for the 50. were of siluer and the 600. of gold 4. Neither was the 50. sheckles for the oxen and the 600. sheckles of gold for the threshing floore Borrh. which amounteth to a 1500. dollors that is so many ownces of siluer or fiue shilling peeces Iun. for it is like that not the bare threshing floore was valued at so much 5. Therefore the best solution is that he gaue 50. sheckles of siluer for the oxen onely which make about 12. dollors and for the whole place and ground with the houses where the Temple was afterward built 600. sheckles of gold Iun. Mart. Mont. de sicli partib lib. de mensur sacris in appar Quest. 20. v. 25. How it was lawfull for Dauid to build an Altar here there neither beeing the Arke nor Tabernacle 1. Dauid did not this of himselfe for Gad was admonished by the Angel to speake vnto Dauid there to build an Altar So it is like when the holy men of God offered in the high places that they did it not without Gods direction though it be not alwaies expressed 2. Now whereas the Tabernacle was at Gibeon at this time where most of the Preists gaue their attendance yet there were also diuerse and the cheefe of them as Zadok and Abiathar which kept with the Arke at Ierusalem c. 15.25 3. Beside an other reason is yeilded why Dauid could not goe to Gibeon because he was afraid of the sword of the Angel and it might be was stricken with some infirmitie at the least he was in great feare because of the present daunger 4. This Altar here built was a type of the true Altar Christ Iesus who was to suffer at Ierusalem So the Apostle calleth Christ the Altar Hebr. 13.10 that place therefore serueth not to prooue that there ought to be still any materiall altars in the Church But Tonstall replieth that of that Altar they haue no authoritie to eate but Christ is to be eaten therfore he is not meant by that altar Contra. The words following must be weighed they haue no authoritie to eate which serue in the Tabernacle but they which are vnder the Gospel doe eate of this Altar Mart. Quest. 21. v. 25. Of the Lords acceptance of Dauids sacrifice 1. God shewed his acceptance in that he answered Dauid in sending fire from heauen 1. Chron. 11.26 as Aarons sacrifice Leuit. 9. was approoued by fire from heau●n so also Gedeons by fire out of the rocke Iudg. 6.21 and Helias sacrifice was set on fire from heauen 1. King 18.38 Mart. for otherwise it was not lawfull to vse any straunge fire not taken from the Altar as appeareth by the punishment of Nadab and Abihu Leuit. 10.1 Genevens 2. This sacrifice wa● not acceptable in it selfe but as it was a type of Christ and offred by faith in him it beeing also ioyned with the praiers of Dauid and of the rest of the people In Christ then both our altar and sacrifice God is well pleased by whom we are deliuered from euerlasting plagues as now Israel was from this temporall To whom be ascribed all praise for euer Amen FINJS A TABLE OF THE PRINCIPALL matters handled in this Treatise The first figure sheweth the Chapter the second the Question c. standeth for Chapter q. for Question Abel OF the citie Abel c. 20. q. 9 Of the rampire cast vp 20. q. 12 Of that
