kingdom_n nechoh_o present_o appoint_v jehoiakim_n to_o succeed_v the_o three_o and_o four_o argument_n depend_v upon_o this_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o septenary_n number_n of_o year_n between_o hezekiahs_n fourteen_o year_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o temple_n as_o also_o between_o moses_n death_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o it_o to_o we_o therefore_o who_o acknowledge_v no_o necessity_n of_o a_o septenary_n number_n of_o year_n these_o argument_n signify_v as_o little_a as_o the_o first_o his_o second_o argument_n only_o remain_v which_o be_v this_o the_o four_o year_n of_o jehoiakim_n be_v the_o twenty_o three_o from_o the_o thirteen_o of_o josiah_n jer._n 25.1_o 3._o from_o which_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o jehoahaz_n be_v nineteen_o complete_a year_n from_o thence_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o four_o year_n of_o jehoiakim_n complete_a three_o year_n and_o so_o from_o the_o thirteen_o of_o josiah_n to_o the_o begin_n of_o jehoiakim_v four_o year_n be_v twenty_o two_o complete_a therefore_o the_o twenty_o three_o year_n jer._n 25._o be_v only_o current_a but_o if_o a_o interregnum_fw-la of_o two_o year_n have_v intervene_v it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o twenty_o three_o year_n but_o the_o twenty_o five_o thus_o he_o for_o answer_v scaliger_n tell_v we_o not_o what_o ground_n he_o have_v to_o reckon_v complete_a nineteen_o year_n from_o the_o thirteen_o of_o josiah_n to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o jehoahaz_n josiah_n reign_v 31_o year_n subtract_v 13_o out_o of_o 31_o and_o there_o remain_v 18._o reckon_v then_o 18_o year_n to_o the_o begin_n of_o iehoahaz'_v reign_n two_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o he_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o jehoiakim_v and_o then_o as_o scaliger_n himself_o compute_v three_o year_n to_o the_o begin_n of_o jehoiakim_v four_o year_n and_o you_o have_v exact_o the_o number_n of_o twenty_o three_o year_n according_a to_o jer._n 25._o i_o only_o add_v that_o though_o scaliger_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v of_o any_o interregnum_fw-la between_o jehoahaz_n and_o jehoiakim_n yet_o the_o learned_a cappellus_n be_v not_o so_o averse_a from_o admit_v one_o for_o he_o allot_v a_o whole_a year_n to_o jehoahaz_n although_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o he_o reign_v only_o three_o month_n viz._n he_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v a_o vacancy_n or_o interregnum_fw-la of_o nine_o month_n have_v thus_o examine_v the_o argument_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o support_v cappellus_n assertion_n i_o shall_v now_o propose_v one_o or_o two_o on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o prove_v that_o jehoahaz_n be_v the_o elder_a brother_n arg._n 1._o if_o jehoahaz_n be_v the_o same_o with_o johanan_n then_o he_o be_v certain_o the_o elder_a brother_n for_o of_o johanan_n it_o be_v say_v express_o 1_o chron._n 3.15_o that_o he_o be_v the_o first_o bear_v some_o say_v that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o first_o bear_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o birth_n but_o of_o dignity_n because_o he_o be_v think_v most_o worthy_a to_o succeed_v his_o father_n in_o the_o kingdom_n but_o this_o need_v no_o confutation_n or_o if_o it_o do_v tostatus_n in_o 1_o chron._n 3._o have_v refute_v it_o sufficient_o as_o to_o iehoahaz'_v be_v the_o same_o with_o johanan_n a_o late_a writer_n say_v that_o all_o commentator_n be_v agree_v in_o it_o but_o i_o must_v not_o say_v that_o partly_o because_o i_o have_v not_o consult_v all_o commentator_n as_o it_o seem_v that_o author_n have_v partly_o because_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o sundry_a commentator_n that_o be_v of_o a_o different_a opinion_n yet_o i_o can_v easy_o produce_v several_a very_o judicious_a expositor_n both_o christian_n and_o jewish_a that_o have_v think_v jehoahaz_n to_o be_v johanan_n but_o i_o shall_v rather_o choose_v to_o prove_v it_o by_o this_o plain_a argument_n jehoahaz_n be_v the_o son_n of_o josiah_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v either_o johanan_n or_o shallum_n this_o scaliger_n urge_v but_o it_o have_v be_v prove_v above_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v shallum_n and_o so_o he_o must_v be_v johanan_n arg._n 2._o he_o that_o succeed_v his_o father_n in_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n be_v the_o elder_a son_n this_o scaliger_n grant_v but_o jehoahaz_n succeed_v his_o father_n in_o the_o kingdom_n have_v thus_o consider_v the_o argument_n on_o both_o side_n as_o diligent_o and_o impartial_o as_o i_o can_v i_o judge_v it_o most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o scripture-history_n to_o say_v that_o jehoahaz_n be_v the_o elder_a son_n of_o josiah_n as_o be_v the_o same_o with_o johanan_n all_o the_o difficulty_n that_o this_o put_v we_o upon_o be_v the_o admitting_z a_o interregnum_fw-la of_o a_o year_n and_o nine_o month_n between_o the_o end_n of_o iehoahaz'_v three_o month_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o jehoiakim_n or_o of_o not_o so_o much_o if_o iehoahaz'_v twenty_o three_o year_n 2_o king_n 23.31_o be_v complete_a and_o jehoiakim_v twenty_o five_o year_n v_o 36._o be_v only_o current_a this_o seem_v to_o i_o not_o comparable_a to_o the_o insupportable_a difficulty_n that_o attend_v the_o other_o opinion_n the_o second_o passage_n in_o the_o learned_a cappellus_n which_o we_o shall_v examine_v but_o more_o brief_o be_v this_o when_o jehoahaz_n be_v say_v to_o to_o be_v twenty_o three_o year_n old_a and_o jehoiakim_n twenty_o five_o he_o suspect_v that_o thirteen_o shall_v be_v read_v instead_o of_o twenty_o three_o and_o fifteen_o instead_o of_o twenty_o five_o his_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o jehoiakim_n have_v be_v twenty_o five_o year_n old_a when_o he_o begin_v to_o reign_v he_o must_v have_v be_v bear_v when_o his_o father_n be_v but_o fifteen_o year_n of_o age_n and_o conceive_v when_o he_o be_v but_o fourteen_o according_o if_o jehoahaz_n have_v be_v twenty_o three_o year_n of_o age_n his_o father_n must_v have_v be_v only_o of_o the_o age_n of_o sixteen_o when_o he_o be_v bear_v now_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o very_o inconsistent_a with_o josiahs_n piety_n to_o begin_v to_o beget_v child_n so_o soon_o answ._n 1._o i_o can_v but_o judge_v it_o very_o agreeable_a to_o that_o good_a king_n piety_n to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o proper_a remedy_n against_o mean_n to_o subdue_v youthful_a lusts._n some_o have_v believe_v that_o solomon_n be_v neither_o fifteen_o nor_o fourteen_o year_n of_o age_n when_o he_o
