to streng then him And bows himself with all his power He plucks the Pallace to the ground A thousand slays at his last hour Thus dy'd Heavens Champion with renown And at his Death more Honour won Than by his Glorious Conquests he Even all his Life before had done XVII Vpon David and Goliah 1 Sam. 17. WHen Israel ' gainst the Philistines Made War under King Saul They had a Giant in their Host Whom they Goliah call He taller was than others far In strength he did excel He had an Head-piece all of Brass And he with Pride did swell He marches up to Israel's Tents And boldly does proclaim Defiance to the best of them That dare at him to aim The Israelites were much afraid And trembled at his voice Which made their Enemies laugh and scoff And over them rejoice Thus proud Goliah oft doth vaunt And challenge them to Fight But there was none the courage had To meet this Man of Might When David comes into the Host And hears the boasts he makes He much disdains his Blasphemies The Combate undertakes Goliah doth the Youth despise Swears he will have his life David as vallantly replies His death shall end the strife Goliah comes with Sword and Spear But David with a Sling And though the Giant rage and swear David him down doth bring He only slings a little Stone And therewith lays him dead Which done he bravely marches on And then cuts off his Head XVIII Vpon David and Abigail 1 Sam. 25. IN great distress to th' Wilderness Of Paran David fled To save himself from furious Saul Who close him followed Being in want he sends his Men To Nabal for relief But he instead of Food returns What added to his grief David he calls a Run-away And nothing will bestow He will not give his Bread and Drink To Men he does not know The young Men back to David come And Nabal's words declare Who vows his Family to slay And none of them to spare When one of Nabal's Servants heard His Master so severe He told his Wife who instantly The Consequence did fear Plenty of Bread and Wine she takes And unto David goes To pacify his wrath and save Her House from Blood and Woes Being discreet at David's Feet She falls and favour craves Prays he 'll be pleas'd to be appeas'd Since God him often saves He hears her voice and does rejoyce She kept him back from Blood He up her lifts receives her Gifts And promises her good Soon after Gods revenging Rod Took away Nabal's Life Then David sent for Abigail And took her to his Wife XIX Vpon David and Bathsheba 2 Sam. 11. VVHen Joab against Ammon fought King David staid at home And on his House did use to walk Till Joab back should come From conquering his Enemies One Evening thus imploy'd Bathsheba who was very fair Bathing her self he spied Her Beauty prov'd a snare to him He sent and she is brought With whom he folly doth commit Which him much mischief wrought And to conceal his wickedness And cover this vile deed Her Husband poor Uriah's doom'd Though innocent to bleed This faithful valiant Souldier Must be expos'd to die Lest he his Wives Adultery Should happen to descry Joab must be imploy'd therein Who never asks the Cause David then takes her to his Wife And thus rejects Gods Laws Lord if the best of men may thus So foully sin and fall What need have we to watch and pray And on thy Name to call For thy assistance and thy grace Temptations to withstand That they may ne're prevail on us To break the least Command Since we observe that one sin still Is followed by another Vainly like David men design The first the last shall cover XX. Vpon David and Nathan 2 Sam. 12. DAvid a while lay quietly And thought his Crime conceal'd But foolish Man can never hide What God will have reveal'd For Nathan came and in Gods Name Lay'd to his charge this sin And threatens him that for the same The Lord will visit him Thou didst quoth he this secretly But I before the Sun Will shew to all how I detest The Fact that thou hast done Uriah 's Wife and then his Life Were subject to thy Lust And now thy Wives and Childrens death Shall shew that I am just Thus saith the Lord I 'll draw my Sword Against thy Family And first th' Adulterous Child now Born I do pronounce shall die I made thee king and gave thee Wives And all thou couldst desire Yea more I would have done for thee If more thou couldst require But since mine Enemies now Blaspheme For these thy evil ways Thy House shall have no rest nor peace VVithin it all thy days Thou dost confess thy wickedness I 'll therefore thee forgive Yet to be sure thou must endure My wrath whilst thou dost live Thus God declares he will not spare The best but them chastise Let us then fear him to offend For he is just and wise XXI Vpon David and Absalom 2 Sam. 13. DAvid doth still Gods Judgments see Now Absolom conspires His best beloved Absolom His Fathers Death desires He first contrived Amnon's Death And now invades the Crown David's grey Hairs with sorrow he Will bring unto the ground The Politick Achitophel In League with him doth join The Rebels now grow confident Of carrying their Design David flyes from Jerusalem VVeeps as he goes along VVith covered Head and bared Feet The Traitors still grow strong Alas what shall poor David do He calls upon the Lord And of him humbly doth implore He would his Aid afford God hears his Prayer confounds his Foes Brings all their Plots to nought In rage Achitophel hangs himself In his own Snare he 's caught Joab pursues young Absolom Assur'd of Victory And finds him hanging by the Locks I' th' Branches of a Tree And notwithstanding David's Charge He to him should be kind He with a Dart pierces his Heart The Youth his Life resign'd Then David mourns for Absolom As for an only Son Yea his dear Absolom's Life to save Wishes his own had gone XXII King Solomon and the two Harlots 1 Kings 3. VVHen Solomon in Peace possest The Throne of Israel His Wisdom far and neer was known Most King 's he did excel It happened two Harlots begg'd Of him to do them Right Who having heard them plead their Cause Soon brought the Truth to light Both dwelt together in one House Each did a Man-Child bear One Woman over-laid her Son I' th' Night for want of Care Then rises up and in the dark Doth to the other come And takes away her living Child Leaving her dead i' th' room The Mother wakes the dead Child finds But looking well thereon At length she certainly concludes This Child is not her own The other boldly doth affirm Her 's is the living Child The Difference is so great that they Could not be reconcil'd The King hears all and thinks this Cause Affection must decide
