Abraham Asahac and Iacob and looke not vnto the stubbernesse of this people nor to their wickednesse and sinne 28 Lest the lande whence thou broughtest them say The Lorde is not able to bryng them

Chapter 1 By a vision of a basket of sommer fruite th ende of the kingdome of Israel is shewed 4 He speaketh against the oppressours of the poore 9 And describeth the bitternesse of the plague of Israel 11 And prophecieth of the famine of the worde of God 1 THus hath the Lorde God shewed vnto me and beholde a basket of sommer fruite 2 And he sayde Amos what seest thou And I sayde A basket of sommer fruite Then sayd the Lord vnto me The end is come vpon my people of Israel I wil passe by them no more 3 And the songues of the temple shal be howlinges in that day sayth the Lorde God many dead bodies shal be in euery place they shal cast them foorth with scilence 4 Heare this O ye that swallow vp the poore that ye may make the needy of the lande to fayle 5 Saying When will the new moneth be gone that we may sell corne the Sabbath that we may set foorth wheate and make the Epha small the sicle great falsifie the wayghtes by deceite 6 That we may bie the poore for siluer and the needy for shoes yea and sell the refuse of the wheate 7 The Lorde hath sworne by the excellencie of Iacob surely I will neuer forget any of their workes 8 Shall not the lande tremble for this and euerie one mourne that dwelleth therin And it

Chapter The prayse of Iosue 9 Caleb 13 Samuel 1 MAnly strong in battel was Iesus the sonne of Naue and was the successour of Moyses in prophesies was geuen to be captaine of the people which according vnto his name was a great sauiour vnto the elect of God to punishe the enemies that rose vp against Israel that Israel might optayne their inheritaunce 2 O how great noble and excellent was he when he lift vp his hande and drewe out his sworde against the cities 3 Who stoode so manly before him for the Lord him selfe brought in the enemies 4 Stoode not the sunne still at his commaundement and one day was as long as two 5 He called vpon the hyghest and most mightie when the enemies preassed vpon him on euery side and the mightie Lord heard him with the hayle stones 6 They smote the Heathenishe people mightyly and in falling downe they slue all the aduersaries so that the heathen knew his hoast and all his defence that the Lord him selfe fought against them for he folowed vpon the mightie men of them 7 In the time of Moyses also he and Caleb the sonne of Iephune dyed a good worke whiche stoode against the enemies with held the people from sinne and stilled the wicked murmuring 8 And of sixe hundreth thousande people of foote they two were preserued to bring them into the heritage namely a lande that floweth with mylke hony 9 The Lord gaue strength also vnto Caleb which remayned with him vnto his age so that he went vp into the hie places of the land and his seede conquered the same for an heritage 10 That al the children of Israel might see howe good a thing it is to be obedient vnto the Lorde 11 And the iudges or rulers euery one after his name whose heart went no◠a whoring nor departed from the Lorde and that forsooke not the Lord vnfaithfully whose remembraunce hath a good report 12 Yea their bones florishe out of their place and their names shall neuer be chaunged but honour remayneth still with the children of those holy men 13 Samuel the prophete beloued of the Lorde his God ordayned a king and annoynted the princes ouer the people 14 In the lawe of the Lord ruled he and iudged the congregation and the Lorde had respect vnto Iacob 15 The prophete was founde diligent in his faithfulnes yea he is knowen faithful in his workes because he sawe the God of light 16 〈◊〉 called vpon the Lorde almightie when the enemies preassed vpon him on euery side what time as he offered the sucking lambe 17 And the Lorde thundered from heauen made his voyce to be heard with a great noyse 18 He discomfited the princes of Tyre and all the rulers of the Philistines 19 Before his last ende he made protestation in the sight of the Lorde and his annoynted that he toke neither substaunce nor good of any man no not so much as a shoe and no man might accuse him 20 After this he tolde that his ende was at hand and shewed the king also his ende and death and from the earth lyft he vp his voyce in the prophecie that the vngodlie people should perishe The .xlvii. Chapter 1 The prayse of Nathan 2 Dauid 12 and Solomon 1 AFterward in the time of king Dauid there rose vp a prophet called Nathan 2 For lyke as the fat is taken away from the offering so was Dauid chosen out of the children of Israel 3 He played with the lions as with kiddes and with beares lyke as with lambes of sheepe 4 Slewe he not a giaunt when he was yet but young toke away the rebuke frō his people what time as he toke the stone in his hande and smote downe proude Goliath with the sling 5 For he called vpon the highest Lorde which gaue him strength in his right hande so that he ouerthrewe the mightie giaunt in the battaile that he might set vp the horne of his people againe 6 So he glorified him in ten thousand and made him to haue a good report in the prayse of the Lorde that he should weare a crowne of glorie 7 For he destroyed the enemies on euery side rooted out the Philistines his aduersaries and brake their horne in sunder lyke as it is broken yet this day 8 In all his workes he praysed the hyest and holiest and ascribed the honour vnto him with his whole heart did he prayse the Lorde and loued God that made him 9 He set singers also before the aulter in their tune he made sweete songes that they might geue prayses euery day to God with songes 10 He ordayned to kepe the holy dayes worshipfully that the solempe feastes through the whole yere should be honorably holden with praysing the name of the Lorde and with singing betimes in the morning in the sanctuary 11 The Lorde toke away his sinnes and exalted his horne for euer he gaue him the couenaunt of the kingdome and the throne of worship in Israel 12 After him there rose vp the wyse sonne called Solomon Who by him dwelt in a large possession and for his sake he droue the enemies away far of 13 This Solomon raigned with peace in his time and he obtayned glory For God gaue him rest from his enemies on euery side that he might builde him an house in his name and prepare the sanctuarie for euer 14 How wyse wast thou in thy youth and filled with wysdome and vnderstanding as it were with a water flood 15 Thou coueredst and filledst the whole lande with similitudes wyse prudent sentences 16 Thy name went abrode in the Iles because of thy peace thou wast beloued 17 All landes maruailed at thy songes prouerbes similitudes and at thy interpretations 18 And in the name of the Lorde God which is called the God of Israel thou gatheredst golde as tinne thou hadst as much siluer as leade 19 Thou wast moued in inordinate loue toward women and wast ouercome in affection 20 Thou staynedst thy honour worship yea thy posteritie defiledst thou also in bringing the wrath of the Lorde vpon thy children and hast felt sorowe for thy folly 21 So that thy kingdome was deuided and Ephraim became an vnfaithfull and a rebellious kingdome 22 Neuerthelesse God forsooke not his mercie neither was he vtterly destroyed because of his workes that he should leaue him no posteritie as for the seede that came vpon him which he loued he brought it not vtterly to naught but gaue yet a remmaunt vnto Iacob and a roote vnto Dauid out of him 23 Thus rested Solomon with his fathers and out of his seede he left behinde him a verie foolishnes of the people and such one as had no vnderstanding euen Roboam which turned away the people through his counsell and Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat which caused Israel to sinne and shewed Ephraim the way
Alas that this worthy should be slaine which deliuered the people of Israel 22 As for other thinges pertayning to the battailes of Iudas the noble actes that he did and of his worthynes they are not written for they were very many 23 Now after the death of Iudas wicked men came vp in al the coastes of Israel there arose all such as did worke vngodlinesse 24 In those dayes was there a great dearth in the lande and all the countrie gaue ouer them selues and theirs vnto Bacchides 25 So Bacchides chose wicked men and made them lordes in the lande 26 These sought out and made search for Iudas friendes and brought them vnto Bacchides whiche auenged him selfe vpon them with great dispite 27 And there came so great trouble in Israel as was not since the time that no prophete was seene there 28 Then came all Iudas friendes together and sayde vnto Ionathas 29 Forsomuch as thy brother Iudas is dead there is none like him to go foorth against our enemies against Bacchides and such as are aduersaries of our owne people 30 Wherefore this day we choose thee for him to be our prince and captayne to order our battayle 31 And Ionathas toke the gouernaunce vpon him at the same time and ruled in steade of his brother Iudas 32 When Bacchides gat knowledge therof he sought for to slay hym 33 But Ionathas Simon his brother perceauing that fled into the wildernesse of Thecua with al their campanie and pitched their tentes by the water poole of Asphar 34 Which when Bacchides vnderstoode he came ouer Iordane with al his hoast vpon the Sabbath day 35 Nowe had Ionathas sent his brother Ihon a captayne of the people to pray his friendes the Nabuthites that they would lende them their ordinaunce for they had much 36 So the children of Iambri came out of Madaba and toke Ihon and all that he had and went their way withall when they had taken it 37 Then came worde vnto Ionathas and Simon his brother that the children of Iambri made a great mariage brought the bride from Madaba with great pompe for she was daughter to one of the noblest princes of Chanaan 38 Wherefore they remembred the blood of Ihon their brother and went vp and hyd them selues vnder the shadowe of the mountayne 39 So they lift vp their eyes and loked beholde there was much a do great preparation for the brydegrome came foorth and his friendes and his brethren mette them with tympanies instrumentes of musicke and many weapons 40 Then Ionathas and they that were with hym rose out of their lurking places against them and slue many of them and the remnaunt fled into the mountaynes and they toke all their substaunce 41 Thus the mariage was turned to mourning and the noyse of their melody into lamentation 42 And so when they had auenged the blood of their brother they turned againe vnto Iordane 43 Bacchides hearing this came vnto the very border of Iordane with a great power vpon the Sabbath day 44 And Ionathas sayd to his companie Let vs get vp fight against our enemies for it standeth not with vs to day as in time past 45 Behold our enemies are in our way the water of Iordane vpon the one side of vs with banckes fennes and woods on the other side so that there is no place for vs to depart vnto 46 Wherefore crye nowe vnto heauen that ye may be deliuered from the power of your enemies So they stroke the battayle 47 And Ionathas stretched out his hande to smyte Bacchides but he fled backwarde 48 Then Ionathas and they that were with him leapt into Iordane swimmed ouer Iordane vnto the further banke but the other woulde not passe ouer Iordane after him 49 And there were slayne of Bacchides side that day a thousande men 50 Therefore Bacchides with his hoast turned againe to Hierusalem and buy it vp the castles and strong holdes that were in Iurie Iericho Emans Bethoron Bethel Thamnata Phara and Thopo with hye walles with portes and with lockes 51 And set men to kepe them that they might vse their malice vpon Israel 52 He walled vp the citie Bethsura Gazara and the castle and prouided them with men and vittayles 53 He toke also the chiefest mens sonnes in the countrey for pledges put them in the castle at Hierusalem to be kept 54 Afterwarde in the hundred fyftie and three yere in the seconde moneth Alcimus commaunded that they should destroy the walles of the inwarde court of the sanctuarie and he pulled downe and began to destroy the monumentes of the prophetes 55 But at the same time Alcimus was plagued and smitten with a paulsie and his enterprises were hindered his mouth was stopped by God so that he could no more speake nor commaunde any of his house concerning his businesse 56 Thus died Alcimus in great miserie at the same time 57 And when Bacchides sawe that Alcimus was dead he turned againe to the king so the land was in rest two yeres 58 Then all the vngodly men held a counsell saying Behold Ionathas and his company are at ease and dwel without care wherefore let vs bring Bacchides hyther and he shall take them all in one night 59 So they went and gaue Bacchides this counsell 60 Which arose to come with a great hoast sent letters priuily to his adherentes which were in Iurie to take Ionathas and those that were with hym but they might not for the other had gotten knowledge of their deuice 61 And Ionathas toke fyftie men of the countrey whiche were the ringleaders of them and slue them 62 Then Ionathas Simon with their companie departed vnto the citie Beth-basin whiche lyeth in the wildernesse and repaired the decay therof and made it strong 63 When Bacchides knewe this he gathered all his hoast and sent word to them that were in Iurie 64 Then came he layed siege to Beth-basin and fought against it a long season and made instrumentes of warre 65 Nowe Ionathas left his brother Sâ—mon in the citie and went foorth hym selfe into the countrey and came with a certayne number 66 And slue Odomeras and his brethren and the children of Phaseron in theâ— tentes so that he began to be strong and to increase in power 67 As for Simon and his companie they went out of the citie and brent vp the instrumentes of warre 68 And fought against Bacchides and discomfited him and Bacchides was sore vexed because his counsell and trauayle was in vayne 69 Wherefore he was wroth at the wicked men that gaue him counsel to come into their land slue many of them Then purposed he with his companie to go away into his owne countrey 70 Wherof when Ionathas had knowledge he sent ambassadours vnto hym for to make peace with hym and that he shoulde deliuer him his prisoners againe 71 To the whiche Bacchides consented gladly
