had sent messengers to So Kyng of Egypt and broght no present vnto the Kyng of Asshur as he had done yerely therefore the Kyng of Asshur shut hym vp and put him in prison 5 Then the Kyng of Asshur came vp throughout all the land and went against Samaria besieged it thre yere 6 ¶ * In the ninth yere of Hoshéa the King of Asshúr toke Samaria and caryed Israél away vnto Asshúr and put them in

19 Yet 〈◊〉 kept not the commandementes of the lord their God but walked according to the facion of Israél which they vsed 20 Therefore the Lorde cast of all the sede of Israél and afflicted them and

the gates that were in the entring in of the gate of Ioshúa the gouernour of the citie which was at the left hand of the gate of the citie 9 Neuertheles the priests of the hie places ca me not vp to

defiled the hie places that were before Ierusalē on the right hād of the mount of corruption which * Salomón the King of Israél had buylt for Ashtōreth theidole of the Zidoniās for Chemósh the idole of the Moabites for Milchō the abomination of the children of Ammón 14 And he brake the images in pieces and cut downe the groues and filled their places with the bones of men 15 Furthermore the altar that was at Beth-él the hie place made by Ieroboā the sonne of Nebát which made Israél to sinne bothe this altar and also the hie place brake he do wne and burnt the hie place and stampt to powder and

according to all the factes that he had done in Beth-él 20 And he sacrificed all the priests of the hie places that were there vpon the altars and burnt mens bones vpon them and returned to Ierusalém

of Iudea there was a certeine Priest named Zacharias of the course of Abia and his wife was of the daughters of Aarō and her name was Elisabet 6 Bothe were iust before God and walked in all the commaundements and ordinances of the Lord without reprofe 7 And thei had no childe because that Elisabet was barren and bothe were wel strickē in age 8 And it came to passe as he executed the Priests office before God as his course came in order 9 According to the custome of the Priests office his lot was to burne incense when he went into the Temple of the Lord. 10 And the whole multitude of the

38 Then Marie said Beholde the seruant of the Lord be it vnto me according to thy worde So the Angel departed from her 39 ¶ And Marie arose in those dayes and went into the hill countrey with haste to a citie of Iuda 40 And entred into the house of Zacharias saluted Elisabet 41 And it came to passe as Elisabet heard the saluaciō of Marie the babe sprāg in her bel lie Elisabet was filled with the
