AS the Prdication of tho EnpIiHh translation of the BIBLE to King JamoB tho First of EnRlnnd socms to bo wholly annecessary for the purpoHfM of «'ilififiitioii, ami iKJihiips on some iM;ej)uiitj» iuipiopor to bo continued in an Aim^ifiin edition, a short account of the tranidationH of tho ( )M And Now Tcstamonts from the orloinai Ilolrew and Greek h wiiich thoy were written, is iubstituted To the Jows WHS first committed the care of tho Sacred Writings, and for many ages they were in a manner confined to that chosen people. There wan tiicn no nvM of translations into other bm^uiigcs; yet was the providence of God particularly manifest in thoir preservation ond purity. Tho Jows wore so faithful to their nnportant trust, thot, when copies of the law or the prophets were transcribed, they observed tins most scrupulous oxuctncss; they not only diligently compared the one with the other, but even counted the number of letters in each book, and compared ond recorded the numbers. The first translations that were made of tho Old Testament were after the Babylonish captivity. Thoy are called tho Targums, which word in the Chaldean language signifies Tninslations. They are also often called tho Chaldco Paraphrases; some of thera ftre exact translations of different parts of Scripture ; othera are properly paraphrases, containing enlargements, explonations, and even additions. Several of them are yet extant, and they are often mentioned by the ancient fathers of tho Christian chureli. Some have aflirmed that tho five books of Moses ond that of Joshua wore translated into Oreok before tho days of Alexander tho Great. But the most remarkable translation of tho Old Tostament into Greek is called tho Soptuagint, which, if the opinion of Mme eminent writers is to bo credited, was made in tho reign of Ptolemy Philadolphus, about 2G0 years before the Christian era. At any rate, it is undoubtedly the most ancient that is now extant, and on many accounts deserving notice, though nut to bo put on » lovel with the Hebrew text, as has been sometimes done. Tho New Testament was originally written in Greek ; and no sooner was tho gospel spread through the nations than it was found necessary to translate the inspired writings for each into ita proper tonguo. Some translations of tho Old Testament, different from the Septuagint, were made into Greek from tho vcar of Christ's birth 128 to 200. It is generally believed that the church of Antioeh was favoured with a Syrian translation of the Bible as early as tho year 100. Tho Ethiopians of Abyssinia have a version of tho Bible, which they ascribe to Fnimontius, of the fourth century. Chrysostom, who livod in tho end of tho fourth, and Tbcodorct, who lived in tho middle of the fifth century, both inform us that they had tho Svrian, Indian, Persian, Armenian, Ethiopic, and Scythian versions. The ancient Egyptians nad the Scriptures translated into their language. The Georgians have a version in their ancient language. The most ancient German translation is supposed to have been made by Uphilas, A. J). S()0. The Old Testament of all these tianslations, except the Syrian, is taken from the Septuagint, c^d not immediately from tho Ilsbrew text. Wo will now give some account of the translations of tho Biblo into the English language. There have been some who have »flirmed that Adolinc, Bishop of Sherburn, who lived in tho beginning of the eighth century, translated the Psalms into the Saxon tongue. That however is u^iccrtain, as some of tho best historians make no mention of it ; yet it is possible, as he was a man of great parts, and of great Icor ling for those times, and said to be tho first Englishman who wrote in the Latin language. About the same time, or a little after, li^de, commonly called tho vonerablo Bcdo, translated some parts of tho New Testament, some say the whole Bible, but that is not probable. Near 200 years later, King Alfred translated the Psalms into the same language. In 1S82 Wiclif finished his translation of the Bible, which is yet extant; that is to say, there are copies of it in some puolic and privnte libraries. All these translations were made from tho Vulgate. In the reign of Henry the Eighth, several editions of the Old and New Testaments were published in English ; one of the most remarkable is that of William Tyndal in 1580. The translation of the New Testament was mado from the original Greek, but probably tho Old Testament either from the Latin of the Vulgate or the Greek of tho Septuagint. This was soon followed by the improvements of Coverdale and Mathews. By order of the king, Tonstal, Bishop of Durham, and Heath, Bishop of Rochester, mado a new translation, which was published in 1541 : but, not pleasing Henry, it was suppressed by authority. In the reign of King Edward the Sixth, another translation was mado ; two editions of whicn were publislied, one in 1549, and tho other in 1561. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth another translation was made, which, being revised by some of the most learned of tho bishops, wont by the name of the Bishops' Bible. This professed to be transmtea from the Hebrew of the Old Testament, and tho Greek of tho New, though, in some instances, when there was a difference, it preferred the Septuagint to the Hebrew. This last circumstance, with dome others, induced King James the First to select fifty-four persons, eminent in learning, and Krticularly well acquainted with the original languages in which the Old and New Testaments were written, to make a new trana* ;ion of the whole Bible. In the year 1G07, forty-seven of those persons, the other seven probably having died, assembled together, and arranged themselves into committees, to each of which a portion was given to translate. They were favoured not only with the best translations, but with the most accurate copies and the various readings of the original text. After about three years' aAiduoua labour, thoy severally completed the parts assigned them. They then met together, and wLJe one read the translation newly formed, the rest had each a copy of tho original text in his hand, or some one of the ancient versions, and when any difficulty occurred thty •topped, till by common consultation it was determined what was most agreeable to the inspired Original. This translation was first published A. D. 1610, and is the one which has been over since that time printed by public authority, and generally used in tho British dominions, as well as in the United States of America. It may be added with safety, that it has been generally approved by men of learning and piety of all denominations, of which its having never been superseded by any other, for two hun^-ed yean, ia a sufficient proof.

And the Lord had 'respect unio Abel, antl to his offering : 5 But unto Cain, and to his ofTcring, he had not respect : and Cain was very wroth, 'and his coun- tenance fell. 6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shait thou not || be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin licth at the door: and II unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass when they were in the fieUI, that Caii^ rose up against Abel his brother, and -'slew him. 9 HAnd f.he Lord said unto Cain, 'Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, *I know not: Am I my brother's keeper ? 10 And 'ne said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's fblood 'criethuntomefromthe ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy bro- ther's blood from thy hand. 12 When tho-' tiUest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength: A fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 1 3 And Cain said unto the Lord, || My punish- ment is greater than I can bear. 1 4 *Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and 'from thy face shall I be hid ; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth ; and ii shall come to pass, "that every one that findeth me shall slay me. 1 5 And the Lord saicl unto him. Therefore who- soever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him "seven-fold. And the Lord 'set a mark upon Cain, lest any findir)^]^ him should kill him. 16 ^And Cain ^went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 1 7 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bare f Enoch : and he builded a city, 'and called die name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. 18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael : and Mehujael begat Methusael, and Methusael begat f Lamech. 19 ^And Lamech took unto him two wives : the name of the one was Adah, and the name of die other Zillah. 20 And Adah bare Jabal : he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have catde. 21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the 'father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an f in- structor of every artificer in brass and iron : and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for ||I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man ||to my hurt. 24 'If Cain shall be avenged seven-fold, truly Lamech seventy and seven-fold. 25 ^And Adam knew his wife again, and she 11 Adanis f^cncalogy unto Noah, bare a son, and 'callt;(l liis name: fH Scrth : For Coil, said she, hath appointed mc another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. a6 And to Seth, •to him also there was born a son ; and he called his name f linos : then began men II "to call upon the name of the Lord. in-.p ^ -1.:.

AND God "remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark ; *and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged. 2 'The fountains also of the deep, and the win- dows of heaven were stopped, and ''the rain from heaven was restrained. 3 An:l the vyoter§ returned from ofT the earth Noah gocth out of tlu ark. + continually ; and after the end 'of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. 4 ^ And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the moun- tains of Ararat. 5 And the waters fdecreasedcontinually.until the tenth month : in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. 6 ^ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened -'the window of the ark which he had made: 7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth f to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark ; for the wa.-ers u".re on the face of the whole earth. Then he put forth his hand, and took her, and f pulled her in unto him into the ark. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days ; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. 1 1 And the dove came in to him ip the evening, and lo, in her mouth was an olive-leaf, pluckt on. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 1 2 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove ; which returned not again unto him any more. 1 3 ^ And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first dav of the montn, the waters were dried up from off the earth : and Noah removed the covenng of the ark, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry. 1 4 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 15 ^And God spake unto Noah, saying, 1 6 Go forth of the ark, 'thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 1 7 Bring forth with thee *every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of catde, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundandy in the earth, and 1)6 fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him : • 1 9 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their f kinds, went forth out of the ark. 20 1[ And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord, and took of *every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar. 2 1 And the Lord smelled 'a -j- sweet savour ; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again "curse the ground any more for man's sake ; | for the "imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth : 'neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 >t While the earth remaineth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter,!

And they said, So ao, as thou hast sair*. 19 ' Abraham intercedeth for Sodom, 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, f Makt; ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man ; :iiid he hasted to dress it. 8 And *he took butter, and milk, and the calf whi:h he h?.d dressed, and set it before them ; and he stood bv them under the tree, and they did cat. 9 ^ And they said unto him. Where is Sarah thy wife ? And he said, Behold, In the tent. 10 And he said, I *will certainly return un»o thee 'according to the time of life ; and lo, "Sarau thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent-door, which was behind him. 1 1 Now "Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age ; and it ceased to be with Sarah 'after the manner of women. 1 2 Therefore Sarah >*laughed within herself, say- ing, 'After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my iord being old also ? 1 3 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old ? 1 4 *Is any thing too hard for the Lord ? 'At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 1 5 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not ; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay ; but thou didst laugh. 1 6 Tl And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom : and Abraham went with them "to bring them on the way. 1 7 And the Lord said, ""Shall I hide from Abra- ham that thing which I do ; 1 8 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be 'blessed in him ? 19 For I know him, 'that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of tlie Lord, to do justice and judg- ment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 20 And the Lord said. Because 'the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because dieir sin is very grievous, 2 1 "I will go down now, and see whether they have done ciltogether according to the cry of it, 'which is come unto me ; and if not, *I will know. 22 And the men turned their faces from thence, 'and went toward Sodom : but Abraham 'stood yet before the Lord. 23 T[And Abraham 'drew near, and said, -'^ Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked ? 24 *^Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city : wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein ? 25 That be far froin thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked ; and *that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: 'Shall not the jud^e of all the earth do right? 26 And the Lord said, *If I find in Sodom fifty 20 GENESIS. lj>t enttrtainttk two j>Hgtls.

And he said. If I find there forty and :, I will not destroy it. 29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there.

Behold,! lay yester- night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lift with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 35 And they made their father drink wine that night also : and the younger arose, and lay with him ; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. 37 And the first-born bare a son, and called his name Moab : 'the same is tlie father of the Moab- ites unto this day. 38 And the younger she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi : 'die same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. 1 7 And "God heard the voice of the lad: and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her.

Lift up now thine eyes and see, all the rams which leap upon the catde are ring- streaked, speckled, and grizzled ; for 'I have seen all ti at Laban doeth unto thee. 1 3 I «»» the God of Beth-el, 'where thou anoint- edst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me : now 'arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. 14 And Rachel and Leah answered, and said unto him, 'Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house } 1 5 Are we not counted of him strangers ? for 'he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. 1 6 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. 17 ^Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels ; 18 And ne carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his get- ting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram ; for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. 19 And Laban went to shear his sheep : and Ra- chel had stolen the f 'images thatttv^'^ her father's. 20 And Jacob stole away f unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. 31 So he fled with all that he had ; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and "set his face toward the mount Gilead. 22 And it was told Laban on the third day, that Jacob was fled. 33 And he took 'his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey : and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 24 And God 'came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him. Take heed that thou 'speak not to Jacob f either good or bad. 35 ^Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his teni in the mount: and Laban with nis brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. 26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and 'carried away my daughters, as captives taJken with the sword ? 27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and f steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp ? 28 And hast not suflered me 'to kiss my sons, and my dau|;hter5 ?

And they did so. 5 ^ And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled : and 'the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us ? 6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him : 7 And he took 'six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. 8 And the Lord 'hardened the heart of Pha- raoh king of Egypt and he pursued after the chil- dren of Israel : and 'the children of Israel went out with ar. Iiigh hand. 9 But the "Egyptians pursued after them (all die horses tout chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army) and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon. 10 ^ And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were so T/u Itratlittt pass through the Red sea. iiore afraid: and the children of Israel 'cned out unto the Lord. II 'And they said unto Moses, Because thert fture no graves in K^pt, liast thuu taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt ? 1 3 *Is not this the word that wc did tell thee in Egypt, saying. Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians ? For // had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 13 ^And Moses said unto the people, 'Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to-day: ||for tlie Egyp- tians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall 'hold your peace. 15 ^And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore cricst thou unto me ? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward : 16 Rut 'lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it : and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 17 And I, behold, I will "harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them : and I will 'get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 18 And the Egyptians 'shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pha- raoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 19 ^And the angel of God 'which went before the camp of Israel, removed, and went behind them ; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them : 20 And it came between the camp of the Egyp- tians and the camp of Israel ; and 'it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these : so that the one came not near the other all the night. 3 1 And Moses 'stretched out his hand over the sea ; and the Lord caused the sea to go 6ach by a !.'rong east wind all that night, and 'made the sea dry /and, and the waters were 'divided. 33 And 'the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground.- and the waters were^^. wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 33 f And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them, to the midst of the sea, even, all Pha raoh's hors ' 's chariots, and his horsemen. 34 And ii came to pass, that in the morning- watch 'the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyp- tians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Eg^yptians, 35 And took off their chariot-wheels, |[that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians saia.

NOW Jericho f was straitly shut up, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, '\ have given into thine hand Jericho, and the *king thereof, md the mighty men of valour. 3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city oice* thus shalt thou do SIX days. 4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven 'trumpets of rams' horns : and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and 'the priests shall blow with the trumpets. 5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout : and the wall of the city shall fall down ffldt, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. 6 ^ And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the cove- nant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord. 7 And he said unto the people. Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the Lord. 8 ^ And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before 17» Jtruho is taken. the LoKP.and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the c<»vt:nant of the Lokd followed them. 9 ^ And the armed men went before the priests that bli'w will) llie trumpets, 'and the f rcre-ward cami- aft'T thi; ark. th* priests goinj^ on, and blow- ing with the trumpets. 10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor f make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout, then shall ve shout. 1 1 So the ark of the Lokd compassed the city, going alMiut it once : and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. 12 ^ And Joshua rose early in the morning, •'and the pries'. ; took up the ark of the Loku. 13 Ami seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lukd went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rere-ward came after the ark of the L(jiU), the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. 14 And the second day they comptassed the city once.and retu rned i nto the camp. So they did six days. 1 5 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed tlie city after the same manner seven times : only on that day they compassed the city seVen times. 16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people. Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city. 17 ^And the city shall be ||accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord : only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because ''she hid ths messengers that we sent. 18 And ye, *in any wise \xit^ yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, 'and trouble it 19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are f consecrated unto the Lord ; they shall come into the treasury of the Lord. 20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets : and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that 'the wall fell down fflat; so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 2 1 And they 'utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the swoivl. 22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied Qut the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, "as ye sware unto her. 23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out R^b, 'and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had ; and they brought out all her f kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel m CHRIST •Num. 10. %\. tHtb. fHuriaf hmt. tH9i34. • I Sun. 4. ■a. aSam. t.a. ft 13. 19.

AND the Lord said unto Joshua, "Fear not, neither be thou dismayed : take all the pco- le of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai : sec, have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land : 2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king, as thou didst unto 'Jericho and her king : only 'the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves : lay thee an ambush for the city behind it. 3 ^ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai : and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night. 4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, 'ye shall lie in wait against the city, evcu behind the city : go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready : 5 And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city : and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that Ave will flee before them, 6 (For they will come out after us) till we have J drawn them from the city ; for they will say. They ee before us, as at the first : therefore we will flee before them. 7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city : for die Lord your God will deliver it into your hand. 8 And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire : according to the commandment of the Lord shall ye do. 'See, I have commanded you. 9 ^Joshua therefore sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai : but Joshua lodged that night among the people. 10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. 1 1 *And all the people, even thepeofde of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai : now there was a valley between them and Ai. 1 2 And h? took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side ||of the city. 13 And when they had set the people, even all ':he host that %vas on the north of the city, and f their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the vallev. 14 ^And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain : but ne 'wist not tliat there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.

And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city. 19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had streiched out his hand : and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted, and set the city on fire. 20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no f power to flee this way or that way : and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers. i r And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai. 22 And the other issued -^""ut of the city against them ; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side : and they smote th'im, so that they ' le L none of them remain or escape. 23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua. 24 And it came to pass when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all me Israel- ites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. 25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, v>ere twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai, 36 For Joshua drew not his hand back where- with he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 27 "Only the catde and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the Lord which he "commanded Joshua, 28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it 'an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day, 29 'And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until even-tide : 'and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the tree, ai.d cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and 'raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day, 30 ^Then Jcihua built an altar unto the Lord God of Israel 'in mount Ebal, 31 As Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the Ixxik of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lifted up any iron : and "they 176 The Gibeonites obtain a league. 'offered thereon ournt-offerings unto the Lord, and sacrfited peace-offerings. 32 ^ And •'he wrote mere upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel, 33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and oii that side before the priests the Levites, 'which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, as well 'the stranger, as he that was born among them ; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal ; "as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel. 34 And afterward 'he read all the words of the law, 'the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law. 35 There was not a word of all that Moses com- manded, which Joshua read not before all the congre- gation of Israel, ''with the women, and the litde ones, and 'the stranger^ that f were conversant among them. . . ■ i', CHAP.

NOW it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; "as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to ^Ai and her king ; and 'how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them ; 2 That they 'feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the f royal cities, and becau!'.e it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereo:" were mighty. 3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem ebron, and unto Piram aphta king of Lachish, on, saying, sent unto Hoham king of H< king of Jarmuth, and unto and unto Debir king of Eg 4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon : 'for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. 5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lacnish, the king of Eglon, •'gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it. 6^ And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua <'to the camp to Gilg^l, saying. Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us : for all the kings of the Amo- rites that dwell in the mountains are gathered to- gether against us. 7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and *all the people of war with him, and all uie mighty men of valour. 8 TfAnd the Lord said unto Joshua, 'Fear them not : for I have delivered them into thine hand ; 'there shall not a man of them stand before thee. 9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night. 10 And the Lord 'discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up "to Beth-horon, and smote them to "Azekah, and unto Makkedah. 1 1 And it came to pass as they fled from before Israd, and wfere in th** going down to Beth-horon, •that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died : they were more which died with haiiston&s than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword. 12 T[Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day whert the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, 'Sun, f stand vhou still upon Gibeon, and thoti Mboh, in the valley of 'Ajalon. 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies.

Come near, 'put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them 25 And Joshua said unto them, 'Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage : for 'thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. 2d And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees : and they 'were hanging upon the trees until the evening. 27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they 'took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid.and laid great stone*:; in the cave's mouth, zc/^V/i remain until this very day. 28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein ; he let none remain : and he did to the king of Makkedah "^s he did unto the king of Jericho. 29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah : 30 And the Lord delivered it also, and tire king thereof, into the hand of Israel : and he smo|te it with the edge of the sword, and alt the souls that v>ere therein ; he let none remain in it ; but did u.;to the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho. 3 J ^And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all 178 JOSHUA.

Gideon sent to deliver Israd, deon threshed wheat by the ■n him, and said, 'Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: 'have not I sent thee? 1 5 And he said unto him, O my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel ? behold, "f my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. 16 And the Lord said unto him, 'Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man. 1 7 And he said unto him. If now I have found grace in thy sight, then ■''shew me a sign that thou talkesL with me. 1 8 'Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my || present, and set iV before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. 19 TI'And Gideon went in, and made ready fa kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. 20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and *lay them upon this rock, and 'pour out the broth. And he did so. 21 ^Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes ; and ''there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight. 22 And when Gideon 'perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! 4or because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face. 23 And the Lord said unto him, ''Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. 24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it NJehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet *in Ophran of the Abi-ezrites. 25 ^And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him. Take thy father's you^g bullock, II even the second'bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that diy father hath, and 'cut down the grove that zi by it: 26 And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this frock, |jin the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt- sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thott shalt cut down. 27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord had said unto him : and so it was, because he feared his father's, household, and 'Peace be unto Qiiior. dtitroytth Baal's altar: th6 men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did <■/ by night. , , . jg ^And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that VMS built 29 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing ? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of joash hath done this thing. 30 Then die men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die : because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it. 31 And joash said unto all thatstood against nim. Will ye plead for Baal ? will ye save him ? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst His yet morning : if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar. 32 Therefore on that day he called him |l*Jerub- baal, saying. Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar. 33 f Then all 'the Midianites,and the Amalekites, and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in "the valley of Jezreel. 34 Br.t "the Spirit of the Lord f came upon Gideon, and he 'blew a trumpet; and Abi-ezer f was gathered after him. 35 And he sent messengers throughout all Ma- nasseh ; who also was gathered after him : and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali ; and they came up to meet them. 36 ^And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, 37 'Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor : tttul if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. 38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water. 39 And Gideon said unto God, 'Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once : let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece ; let.it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all jthe ground let there be dew. 40 And God did so that night : for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

THEN 'Jerubbaal (who is Gideon) and all the people that were with him, rose up early and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them ly the hill of Moreh, in the valley. 2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that tre with thee are too many for me to give the Mi dianites into their hands, lest IsraePvaunt themselves against me. saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. 3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let CHAP.

And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out. 30 ^ And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was II kindled. 31 And he sent messengers unto Abimelech f pri -ily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed, and his brethren, be come to Shechem ; and behold, they fortify the city against thee. 32 Now therefore up by night, thou, and the peo- ple that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field : 33 And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city : and L^hold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to tiiem fas thou shalt find occasion. 34 ^[ And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and 'Stood in the entering of the gate of the city : and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait. 36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Ze- bul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him. Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men. 37 And Gaal spake a^tn, and said, See, there come people down by the f middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of || Meonenim. 38 Then said Zebul unto him. Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou -^saidst. Who ts Abimelech, that we should serve him i is not this the people that thou hast despised ? go out, I pray now, and fight with them. ^39 And Gaal went out before the men of She- chem, and fought with Abimelech. 40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled be- fore him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate. 196 JUDGES.

Job 31. 3. n 94- '3 PreT.5.ti, Abimeieth tlak, 41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Ze- bul thrust out (jaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem. 42 And it came to pass on the morrov/, that the people went out into the field ; and they told Abimelech. 43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them. 44 And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the enter- ing of the gate of the city : and the two other com- panies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them. 45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day ; and 'he took the city, and slew the peo- ple that was therein, and *beat down the city, and sowed it with salt. 46 ^And when all the men of the tower of She- chem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house 'of the god Berith. 47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together. 48 And Abimelech gat him up to mount 'Zal- mon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid {/ on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him. What ye have seen fme do, make haste, and do as I have done. 49 And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the nold, and set the hold on fire upon them : so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women. 50 TJThen went Abimelech to Thebez, and en- camped against Thebez, and took it. 51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut «'/ to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower. 52 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to bum it with fire. 53 And a certain woman 'cast a piece of a mill- stone upon Abimelech's head, and all to break his skull. 54 Then ""he called hastily unto the young man his armour-bearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died. 5 5 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place. 56 T["Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abi- melech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren : 57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came 'the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal j%t Pkilistims and others oppress Israel.

A ND after Abimelcch there 'arose to Htde- /\ fend Israel, Tola ihe son of Puah, the son of Doao, a man of Issachar ; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim. 2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir. 3^ And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two j ears. 4 And he had thirty sons that *rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, 'which are called [I Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land or Gilead. 5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. 6f And 'the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and 'served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and -'the gods of Syria, and the gods of »Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the Lord, and served not him. 7 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Is- rael, and he *sold them into the hands of the Philis- tines, and into the hands of tJie children of Ammon. 8 And that year they vexed and f oppressed the children of Israel eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 9 Moreover, the children of Ammon passed over Jordan, to fight also against Judah, and against lenjamin, and against the house of Ephraim : so that Israel was sore distressed. 10 ^'Andthechildren of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our Goal and also served Baalim. 1 1 And the Lord said unto the children of Is- rael, Did not / deliver you *from the Egyptians, and 'from the Amorites, "from the children of Ammon, "and from the Philistines ? 1 2 •The Zidonians also, ^and the Amalekites, and the Maonites 'did oppress you ; and ye cried 'to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. 13 'Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods : wherefore I will deliver you no more. 1 4 Go and 'cry u nto the gods which ye have chosen ; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. 15 ^And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned : 'do thou unto us whatso- ever fseemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. 16 "And they put away the f strange gods from among them, and served the Lord : and 'his soul fwas grieved for the misery of Israel. 1 7 Then the children of Ammon were f gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the chil- dren of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in 'Mizpeh. 18 And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is lie that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon ? he shall 'be head over all the inhabiunts of Gilead.

My father, ^thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord, 'do to me accord- ing to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as'the Lord hath taken vengeance forthee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon. 37 And she said unto her father. Let this thing be done for me : Let me alone two months, that I may fgo up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows. 38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away/or two months : and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains. 39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned jnt(^her father, whc» 'did with her according -to his vow which he had vowed : and she knew no man. And it was a || custom in Israel, 40 That the daughter s of Israel went fyearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year. ■•'■■ .i .■■riito'i CHAP. XII.

And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made f them sport: and they set him between the pillars. 26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand. Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them. 27 Now the house was full of men and women : and all the lords of the Philistines were there : and there were upon the *roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport. 28 And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, 'remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that 1 may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. 29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and ||on which It was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left 30 And Samson said, Let fme die with the Phi- listines. And he bowed himself v/ith all his might ; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So th'5 dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. 31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and "buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying-place of Manoah his father.

Go, seardi the land : who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the 'house of Micah, they lodged diere. . 3 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite : and they turned in thither, and said unto him.

Do ye know that 'there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do. 1 5 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and f saluted him. 1 6 And the 'six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate. 17 And 'the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took 'the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image : and the priest stood m the en- tering of the gate with the six hundred men f/iat were appointedwith weapons of war. 1 8 And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the tera- phim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them. What do ye ? 19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, 'lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, 'and be to us a father and a priest : is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel ? 20 And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and me graven image, and went in the midst of the people. 2 1 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones, and the cattle, and the carriage before them. 22 ^And when diey were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan. 23 And theycried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, +that thou comest with such a company ? 24 And he said.

Is it not because 'the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over 'his inheritance ? 2 When thou art departed from me to-day, then thou shalt find two men by 'Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin -^at Zelzah ; and they will say unto thee. The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and lo, thy father hath left f the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son ? 3 Then shalt thou goon forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up 'to God to Beth-el, one earning three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and anodier carrying a botde of wine : 4 And they will f s:ilute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread ; which thou shalt receive of their hands. 5 After that thou shalt come to 'the hill of God, 'where is the garrison of the Philistines : and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down 'from ^e high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp before them ; 'and ^ey shall prophesy: 6 And *%he Sphit of the Lord will come upon thee, and "thou shalt proj^iesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. 7 And f let it be, when these 'signs are come tmto thee, f Mo/ thou do as occasion serve thee ; for ^God is with thee.

What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? 'Is Saul also among the prophets ? 1 2 And one f of the same place answered and said. But 'who is their father? Therefore it be- came & proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets ? 13 And when he had made an end of prophesy- ing, he came to the high place. 14 ^And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant. Whither went ye ? And he said. To seek the asses : and when we saw that tluy were no- where, we came to Samuel. 1 5 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you. 1 6 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly tliat the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not. 17 ^And Samuel called the people together 'unto the Lord *to Mizpeh ; 18 And said unto the children of Israel, 'Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all king- doms, ami of them that oppressed you : 19 *And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself*^ saved you out of all your adversities, and your tribulations ; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore pre- sent yourselves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands. 30 And when Samuel had 'caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken. 21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken : and when they sought him, he could not be found. 22 Therefore they 'inquired of die Lord further, if the man should yet come thither. And the Lord answered. Behold, he hath hid himself among die stuff. 25 And they ran and fetdied him thence : and when he stood among the people,-^6 was higher than any of the people from his slxNilders and upward. 24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him 'whom the Lord hath diosen, Ha^^ereis none like him among all the people ?

Let us go down after the Phi- listines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said. Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest. Let us draw near hither unto God. 37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines ? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel ? But 'he answered him not that day. 38 And Saul said, 'Draw ye near hither all the f chief of the people : and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day. 39 For ^as the Lord liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the peo- ple that answered him. 40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee. 41 Therefore Saul said unto the Lord God of Israel, ||'Give a perfect lot, 'And Saul and Jona- than were taken: but the people f escaped. 42 And Saul said.

Is there not a cause ? 30^ And he turned from him toward another, and 'spake after the same f manner: and the peo- ple answered him again after the former manner. 3 1 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul : and he f sent for him. 32 1[ And David said to Saul, *Let no man's heart fail because of him ; 'thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 33 And Saul said to David, ^Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him : for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. 34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his lather's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a ||lamb out of the flock : 35 And I went out after him and smof him, and delivered it out of his mouth : and wh.jn he arose against me, I caugh'. him by his beari, and smote him, and slew him 36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this ur circumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. 37 David said moreover, The Lord that d^ livered me out of the paw of- the lion, and out of the paw of thf, bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and -^the Lord be with thee. 38 If And Saul farmed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head ; also he armed him with a coat of mail. 39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go ; for he had not proved ;/.

And when the Philistines saw their diampion was dead, 'they fled. 52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to 'Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron. 53 And thechildren of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents. 54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem ; but he put his armour in his tent 55 ^And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner the captain of the host, Abner, "whose son is this youth ? And Abner said. As tiiy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. 56 And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is. * 57 And as David returned from the slaughter of tiie Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul 'with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58 And Saul said to him.

And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, 'as fin times past 8 f And there was war again : and David went out, and fought with the Phuistines, and slew them with a great slaughter ; and thev fled from f him. 9 And 'the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand : and David played with his hand. 10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin ; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall : and David fled, and escaped that night. 1 1 'Saulalsosentmessengersunto David shouse, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning : and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying. If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain. 1 2 ^So Michsd "let David down through a win- dow : and he went, and fled, and escapea 13 And Michal took an f image, and laid t^ in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for Us bolster, and covered tt with a cloth. 14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said.

Let me go ; "why should I kill thee ? 18 ^So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. 19 And it was told Saul, saying. Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah. 20 And 'Saul sent messengers to take David: '^and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the mes- sengers of Saul, and they also 'propnesied. 21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the thitd time, and they prophesied also. 22 Then went he iIsq to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu : and he asked and sai4 Where are Samuel and David ? And one said, Be- hold, they be at Naioth in Ramah. 23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah : and ""the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah. 2.^ 'And he stripped off his clothes also, and pro- phesied before Samuel in like manner, and flay down 'naked all that day and all that night Where fore they say, 'Is Saul also among the prophets ^ Jdialkm's kindness to David. CHAP. XX. Dmid ttmultrtk milk Jtmatkam fir hii ufitf, A ND David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and J\ came and said before Jonathan, What have I done ? whattf mine iniquity } and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life ? 3 And he said unto him, God forbid ; thou shalt not (Ue : behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will f shew it me : and why should my father hide this thing from me ? it u not so. 3 And David sware moreover, and said. Thy iatner certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes ; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, \tsx he be grieved : but truly as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death. 4 Then said Jonathan unto David, || Whatsoever thy soul f desireth, I will even do it for thee. 5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to- morrow i> the 'new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat : but let me go, that I may ^de myself in the field unto the third day at even. 6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David eamesdy asked /eave of me, that he might run 'to Beth-lehem his city: for there is a yearly || sacrifice there for all the family. 7 'If he say thus, // is well ; thy servant shall have peace : but if he be very wroUi, then be sure that 'evil is determined by him. 8 Therefore thou shali-^'deal kindly with thy ser- vant; for 'thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee : notwithstanding, *if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou brine me to thy father? 9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee : for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my lather to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee ? 10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what ^thy father answer Uiee roughly? 11 ^And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out bodi of them into the field. 13 And Jonathan said unto David, O Lord God of Israel, when I have f sounded my father about to-morrow any time, or the third i&y, and behold, if there be good toward David, and I dien send not unto thee, and f shew it thee ; 13 The Lord do so and much more to Jona- than: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mavest go in ptac&: and *the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father. 14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not: 15 But also 'thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house forever: no, not when the !^rd hath cut off the enemies of David every one fit)m the (ace of die earth.

If I expressly say unto tlie lad. Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them ; then come thou : for there is peace to thee, and f no hurt; *as the Lord liveth. 22 But if I say thus unto the young man. Behold, the arrows are beyond thee ; go thy way : for the Lord hath sent thee away. 23 And as touching 'the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the Lord be between thee and me for ever. 24 ^So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat. 25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other dmes, even upon a seat by the wall : and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empur. 26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day : for he thought. Something hath befallen him, he is 'not clean ; surely he is not clean. 27 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty : and Saul said unto Jonathan his son. Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to-day ? 28 And Jonathan 'answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem : 29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee ; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city ; and my brother he hath commanded me to be there : and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my breuiren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table. 30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jona- than, and he said unto him, HfThou son of the per- verse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness ? 31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he f shall surely die. 32 And Jonatnan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, "Wherefore shall he be slain ? what hath Iw '"^ne ? 33 And Saul 'cast a javelin at him to smite him : 'whereby Jonathan knew that it was deter- mined of his mther to slay David. 34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce S27 AkimtUch relievtlk David: I.

Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow f beyond him. 37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said. Is not the arrow be- , yond thee ? 38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. 39 But the lad knew not any thing : only Jona- than and David knew the matter. 40 And Jonathan gave his f artillery unto fhis lad, and said unto him, Go, carry thetn to the city. 41 ^And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a fdace toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times : and they Icissed one another, and wept one v'ith another, until David exceeded. 42 And Jonathan said to David, 'Go in peace, II forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying.

Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the •vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, ||yea, though it were sane tified this day-^in the vessel. 6 So the priest 'gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread ttiere but the shew-bread. *that was taken from before the LoRi\ to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. 7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord ; and 838 Bdbn CHRIST ■ksMMfa.

Who will 'go down with me to Saul to the camp ? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee. 7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster : but Abner and the people lay round about him. 8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath f de- livered thine enemy into thine hand this day : now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear, even to the earth at once, and I will not smile him the second time. 9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: 'for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and be guiltless ? 10 David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, Ahe Lord shall smite him ; or '^his day shall come to die ; or he shall Mescend into batde, and perish. 1 1 'The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed : but I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go. 1 3 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster ; and they ^at them awav, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they xoere all asleep ; because 'a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them. i3^Then David went over to the other side and stood on the top of an hill alar off; a great space being between them : 14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou tkU criest to the king ? 1 5 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who tr like to thee in Israel? Wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king ? for there came one of the people in to de- stroy the king thy lord. 1 6 This thmg is not good that thou hast done* As the Lord liveth, ye are f worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master the Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster. 1 7 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, 'It this thy voice, my son Pavid ? and David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king. 18 And he said, "Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue aftr.r his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand ? 19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant If the Lord have "stirred thee up against me, let him f accept an offering : but if they be the children of men, curaed bti they before the Lord ; 'for they have driven M Ziklag given to David. ■ CHAP. out this day from f abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods. 20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lokd : for the king of Israel is cv^me out to seek 'a flea, as when one dotli hunt a partridge in the mountains. 31 f Then said Saul, ''I have sinned: return, my son David ; for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was 'precious in thine eyes this day : behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. 22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear I and let one of the young men come over and fetch it 23 'The Lord render to every man his righteous- ness and his faithfulness : for the Lord delivered thee into my hand to-day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed. 34 And behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let htm deliver mc out of all tribulation. 35 Then Saul said to David, Blessed 6g thou, my son David : thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still "prevail.

Shall the sword devour for ever ? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end ? how long shall it be then ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren ? 37 And Joab said. As God liveth, unless 'thou hadst spoken, surely then fin the morning the people had ijgone up every one from following nis Hrother. 38 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more. 39 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed ov:- Jordan, and went through all Bith-ron, and they came to Mahanaim. 30 Andjoabreturned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men,and Asahel 31 But the servants of David had smitten of Ben- jamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died. 33 ^And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth- lehem.

Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither : || thinking, David cannot come in hither. 7 Nevertheless, David took the strong hold of Zion : ""ths same is the city of David. 8 And David said on that day. Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, 'he shall be chief and captain. || Wherefore they said. The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it, 'The city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward. 10 And David f went on, and grew great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him. 11 T[ And 'Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and f masons : and they built David an house. 12 And David perceived that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake. 13 ^And 'David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was eome from Hebron : and there were yet .<«ons and daughters born to David. 14 And 'these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; ||Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, i5lbharalso,and||Elishua,andNepheg,andJaphia, 1 6 And Elishama, and || Eliada, and Eliphalet. 17 Tf'But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philis- tines came up to seek David ; and David heard of it, 'and went down to the hold. 18 The Philistines also came and spread them- selves in "the valley of Rephaim. 19 And David 'inquired of the Lord, saying. Shall I go up to the Philistines ? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver tlie Philistines into thine hand. 20 And David came to 'Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said. The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place II Baal-perazim. 3 1 And there they left their images, and David and his men *|| burned them. 22 ^'And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 23 And when 'David inquired of the Lcrd, he David bringtth tht ark into Zion. \\.

AN D it came to pass after this, that the •kin"' of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. 2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his i^iher shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon. 3 And the princes of the children of Ammon, said unto Hanun their lord, f Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee ? hath not David ratlur sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it ? 4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, ^even to their buttocks, and sent them away. 5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were gready ashamed. And the king said. Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return. 6 ^f And when the children of Ammon saw that they '^stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired ''the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of ||Ish-tob twelve thousand men. 7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of 'the mighty men. 8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the batde in array at the entering in of the gate: and ''"the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and Ish- tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field. 9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians : ID And the rest of the people he delivered into the liand of Abishai his brother, that he might put tJum in array against the children of Ammon. 1 1 And he said. If die Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me : but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee. f 2 'Be of good courage, and let us *play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God : and 'the Lord do that which seemeth him good. 1 3 And Joab drew nigh, and die people diataw* with him, unto the batde against the Syrians : and they fled before him. 1 4 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 15 ^And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves to- gether. 16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Hs mercomt.

A NO it came to pass, f after the year was ex- t\ P'''6<^> ^^ the time when kings go forth to battle, that "David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel ; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbali. But David tarried still at Jerusalem. 2 ^And it came to pass in an evening-tide, that David arose from off" his bed, 'and walked upon the roof of the king's house : and from the roof he 'saw a woman washing herself; and die woman was very beautiful to look upon. 3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said. Is not this || Bath-sheba the daughter of IJEliam, the wife ''of Uriah the Hittite? 4 And David sent messengers and took her: and she came in unto him, and 'he lay with her ; (||for she was -'"purified from her unjleanness :) and she returned unto her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. 6^ And David sent to Joab, saying. Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him fhow Joab did, and how the peo- ple did, and how the war prospered. 8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and 'wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there ffollowed him a mess of meat from the king, 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's hoflse with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. 10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house "i 11 And Uriah said unto David, *The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents ; and 'my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields ; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife ?

What things this that thou hast done ? thou didst fast and weep for the child while it was alive ; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted, and wept : 'for I said. Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? 23 But now he is dead, wherefore should 1 fa'>t? can I bring him back again ? I shall go to him, but "he shall not return to me. 24 ^[And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her : and 'she bare a son, and 'he called his name Solomon : and the Lord loved him. 25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name ||Jedidiah, be- cause of the Lord. 26 IjAnd 'Joab fought against "Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. 28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and fit be called after my name. 29 And David gathered all the people together,and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. 30 'And he took their king's crown from off his head, (the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones,) and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city fin great abundance. 31 And he brought forth the people thatw^w therein, and put tliem under saws and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made lem pass through the brick-kiln : and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon.

And she took || flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. 9 And she took a pan, and poured them out before him : but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, 'Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him. 10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. 1 1 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he -^took hold of her, and said unto her. Come lie with me, my sister. 12 And she answered him. Nay, my brother, do not f force me; for ^^f no such thing ought to be done in Israel : do not thou this 'folly. 13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go ? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king ; 'for he will not withhold me from thee. 14 Howbeit, he would not hearken unto her voice: but being stronger than she, 'forced her, and lay with her. 15 Tf Then Amnon hated her f exceedingly ; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her. Arise, be gone. 16 And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would npt hearken unto her. ^^ Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said. Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. 18 And she had 'a. garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. 19 IT And Tamar put "ashes on her head, and rent jjer garment of divers colours that tvos on her, and 'laW her hand on her head, and went on crying.

So Tamar remained f desolate in her brother Absalnn's house. 21 ^1 But when kin^ David heard of all these things, he was very wroth. 22 And Absalom spake unto his brotlicr Amnon 'neither good nor bad : for Absalom ■'liated Am- non, because he had forced his sister Tamar. 23 ^[And it came to pass after two full years, tliat Absalom 'had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim : and Absalom invited all the king's sons. 24 And Absalom came to the king, and said. Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers : let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. 25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him : howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. 26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brotlier Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him. Why snould he go with thee ? 27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. 28 ^ Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's 'heart is merry witii wine, and when I say unto you. Smite Amnon ; then kill him, fear not: ||have not I commanded you ? be courageous, and be f valiant. 29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Am- nui. as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man fs^t him up upon his mule, and fled. 30 ^[And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left. 31 Then the king arose, and 'tare his garments, and 'lay on the earth ; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. 32 And "Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said. Let not my lord suppose t/iat they have slain all the young men the king'.s sons ; for Amnon only is dead : for by the f appoint- ment of Absalom this hath been || determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. 33 Now tlierefore 'let not my lord tlie king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead : for Amnon only is dead. 34 'But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him. 35 And Jonadab said unto the king. Behold, the king's sons come : fas thy servant said, so it is. 36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and '.vept : and the king also and all his servants wp,jt f very sore. 37 T[But Absalom fled, and went to 'Talmai, die son of II Ammihud, king of Geshur.

NOW loab the .son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was 'toward Absalom. 2 And Joab sent to *Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, 1 pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, 'and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead : 3 And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab ''put the words in her mouth. 4 ^ And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she 'fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, f^Help, O king. 5 And the king said unto her, Whiii; aileth thee ? And she answered, 'I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead. 6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and tliere was f none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him. 7 And behold, *the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said. Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew ; and we will destroy the heir also : and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neitlur name nor remainder f upon the earth. 8 And the king said unto the woman. Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee. 9 And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king. My lord, O king, 'the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house : *and the king and his throne be guildess. 10 And the king said. Whosoever saith ««_<;'•/«/ unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more. 1 1 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king re- member the Lord thy God, f that thou wouldest not suffer 'the revengers of blood to destroy any mere, lest they destroy my son. And he said, ""As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 1 2 Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on. 1 3 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against "the people of God ? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king dotli not fetch home again 'his banished. 14 For we 'must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again ; || neither doth God respect any person : yet doth he 'devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him. 15 Now therefore that I' am come to speak of 246 nwij . 1*11- immtit.

And he; said. Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel. 3 And Absalom said unto him. See, thy matters are good and right ; but \^there a no man deputed of the king to hear thee. 4 Absalom said moreover, 'Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice ! 5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment : ''so Absalom stole the hearts of the men oflsrael. 7 1[And it came to pass 'after forty years, that Absa om said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the Lord, in Hebron. 8 •^For thy servant 'vowed a vow *while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying.

And the king left 'tt^n women which were concubines to keep the house, 1 7 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off. 18 And all his servants passed on beside him ; 'and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king. iQ^Then said the king to 'Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king; for thou art a stranger, and also an exile. 20 Whereas thou earnest but yesterday, should I this day f make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go "whither I may ; return thou, and take back thy brethren : mercy and truth be with thee. 2 1 And Ittai answered the king, and said, "As the Loud liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be. 22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the litde ones that were with him. 23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over : the king also himself passed over the brook || Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the 'wilderness. 24 ^ And lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, 'bearing the ark of the covenant of God : and they set down the ark of God ; and Abiathar went Uji, until all the people had done passing out of the city. 25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry ba.-:k the ark of God into the city: if I shall fine favour in the eyes of the Lord, he "will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation : 26 But if he thus say, I have noMelight in thee ; behold, here am I, 'let him do to me as seemeth good unto him. 27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest. Art not thou a 'seer ? return into the city in peace, and 'your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 28 See, I -^will tarry in the plain of the wilder- ness, until there come word from you to certify me. 29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem : and they tarried there. 30 ^And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, fand wept as he went up, and 'had his head covered, and he went 'barefoot : and all the people that was with him 'covered every man his head, and they went up, *weepine as they went up. 31 Tf And one told David, saying, 'Ahithophel is 247 Shimci curseth David, II.

And where is thy master's son ? ^And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem : for he said.

'Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so ? 1 1 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants. Behold, 'my son, which 'came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life : how much more now may this Bcnjamitc do it? let him alone, and let him curse ; for the Lord hath bidden him. 1 3 It may be that the Lord will look on mine III affliction, and that the Lord will 'requite me good for his cursing this day. 1 3 And as David and his men went by Ihe way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and feast dust. 1 4 And the king, and all the people that zuere with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there. 1 5 ^f And 'Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him, 1 6 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, 'David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hu- shai said unto Absalom, f God save the king, God save the king. And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this th' 17 "why wentest thou not witi h kindness to thy friend ? thy friend ? 18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide. 1 9 And agair ■'whom should I serve ? slwuld I not serve in the presence of his son ? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence. 20 TfThen said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we slv.!! do. 21 And Ahithophel said u'.ito Absalom, Go in unto thy father's -''concubines, which he hath left to keep the house ; and all Israc' shall hear that thou 'art abhorred of thy father: then "shpi.! 'the hands of all that are with thee be strong. 22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house ; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines 'in the sight of all Israel. 23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had in- quired at the f oracle of God : so was all the coun- sel of Ahithophel 'both with David and widi Ab- salom.

For 'the Lord had fappointed todefeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom. 15 ^*Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abia- thar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled. 16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying. Lodge not this night 'in the plains of the wil- derness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that ar« with him. 1 7 *Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz 'stayed by "En- rogel ; (for they might not be seen to come into |he city) and a wench went and told them ; and they vent and told king .David. 18 Nevertheless, a lad saw them, and told Absa lorn: but they went both of them away quickly, and cai^i^tQ a titan's house "in Bahurim, which had well in his court ; whither they went down. 19 And Hbe wornjui took and spread a covering Ad< )■ /« hit Mumik. tHeb. tlior4. «Heb.

And the king said unto the people, I will st.rely go forth with you myself also. 3 'But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth : for if we flee away, they will not f care for us ; neither if half of us die, will they care for us : but now thou art f worth ten thousand of us : therefore now it is better that thou f succour us out of the city. 4 And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do.

'And all the peo- ple heard when the king gave all th^ captains charge concerning Absalom. 6 ^So the people went out into the field against Israel : and tlie battle was in the ^wood of Ephraim ; 7 Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slauifhter that day of twenty thousand men. 8 I'or the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood f devoured more people that day than the sword devoured. 9 ^ And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth ; and the mule that was under him w(*nt away. 10 And a certain man saw /'/, and told Joab, and said. Behold, 1 saw Absalom hanged in an oak. 1 1 And Joab said unto the man that fold him. And behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the jj^fi'^d ? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle. 1 2 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should f receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: 'for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abisiiai and Ittai, saying, f Beware that none touch the yrung man Absalom. 1 3 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life : for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against tne. 14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus fwith thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the f midst of the oak. 1 5 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. 16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel : for Joab held back the people. 1 7 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and -^laid a very great heap of stones upon him : and all Israel fled every one to his tent 18 If Now Absalom in his life-time had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in 'the king's dale : for he said, *1 have no son to keep my name in remembrance : and he called the pillar after his own name: and itiscalleduntothisday, Absalom's place. 19 If Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the Lord hath favenged hiin ofhis enemies. 20 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not f bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day : but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, be- cause the king's son is dead. 4j/'?ri«#*it< H '**'i»^ ISO beCon CHRIST . tHeb. muUi- flitdlt aev«ur. \ IMbn 'CHRIST I IMJ. tHeb. hmktU mmy. lOr. itHt. iKingi »■ >7- fHcb.

And the king said. He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings. 28 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, lit All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said. Blessed be the Lord thy God, which hath f delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king. 29 And the king said, f Is the young man Absa- lom safe ? And Ahimaaz answered.

Solomon anointed king. 25 'For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen, and fat cattle, and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains uf the host, and Abiathar the priest ; and behold, tht-y eat and drink before him, and say, •'f God save king Adonijah. 26 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called. 27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed -V unto thy servant, vho should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him ? 28 ^Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-sheba. And she came finto the king's presence, and stood before the king. 29 And the king sware, and said, ^As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, 30 'Even as I sware unto thee by the Lord God of Israel, sayinj', Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead ; even so will I certainly do this day. 3 1 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, 'Let my lord king David live for ever. 32 ^[And king David said. Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king. 33 The king also said unto them, 'Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon fmine own mule, and bring him down to "Gihon : 34 AndletZadokthepriestand Nathan the prophet anointhim there king over Israel: and ■'blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon. 35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne ; for he shall be king in my stead : and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. 36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said. Amen : the Lord God of my lord the king say so too. 37 'As die Lord hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and "make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David. 38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, 'and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherc- thites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule,and brought him to Gihon. 39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of 'oil out of die tabernacle, and ''anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet ; 'and all the people said, God save king Solomon. 40 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with || pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them. 41 ^And Adonijah and all the guests that wet'c with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said. Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar ? 42 And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan die 257 David's charge to Solomon. son of Abiathar the priest came : and Adonijah said unto him, Come in ; for -^thou art a valiant man, and brinjjest good tidinjjs, 43 And lonatlian answered and said to Adonijah, Vcrilyourford king David hath made Solomon kmg. 44 And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan tne prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and theyhave caused him to ride upon the king's mule: 45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the pro- phet have anointed him king in Gihon : and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard. 46 An^l also Solomon 'sitteth on the throne of the kingdom. 47 And moreover the king's servants came to "bless our lord king David, saying, *God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. 'And the king bowed himself upon the bed. 48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which hath *givcn one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing // 49 And all the guests thatw^;*.? with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way. 50 ^And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and 'caught hold on the horns of the altar. 51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon : for lo, he hath caught hold on tlie horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to-day that he will not slay his servant with the sword. 52 And Solomon said. If he will shew himself a worthy man, "there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth : but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die. 53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed him- self to king Solomon : and Solomon said u nto him, Go to thipe house. CHAP. IL David, having givtn a charge to Solomon, ditth. ("V T OW "the daysof David drew nigh thathe should X\| die ; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 2 'I go the way of all the oarth : 'be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man ; 3 And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his com- mandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou may- est '^11 prosper in all that thou doest, and whither- so;:ver thou turnest thyself. 4 That the Lord may 'continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying,^If thy children take heed to their way, to 'walk before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul,*there shall not f fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. 5 Moreover, thou knowest also what Joab thy son of Zeruiah 'did to nje, and what he did to the two captains ofthe hosts of Israel, unto *Abner the son of Ner, and unto 'Amasa the soq of Jcther, whom he as8 I.

And he said. Peaceably. 14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on. 1 5 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was 'mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign : howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's : for ''it was his from the Lord. 16 And now I ask one petition of thee, f deny me not. And she said unto him. Say on. 1 7 And he said. Speak, I pray thee, unto Solo- mon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me 'Abishag the Shunammite to wife. 18 And Bath-sheba said, Well ; I will speak for thee unto the king. 1 9 Bath-sheba uierefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and -^bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set forthe king's mother; 'and she sat on his right hand. 20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee ; I pray tfiee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will nof say thee nay. 21 And she said. Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunam- mite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for *Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 23 Then king Solomon sware by the Lord, say- ing, 'God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life. yoab slain. 24 Now therefore, as the Lord llveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he 'promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day. 25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Be- naiah the son of Jchoiada; and he fell upon him that he died. 26 ^And unto Abiathar the priest said the king. Get thee to 'Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou flr/f worthy of death : but I will not at this time put thee to death.^because thou barest the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and because "thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. 27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar fro'n being priest unto the Lord; that he might 'fulfil the word of the Lord, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 28 TfThen tidings came to Joab : (for Joab ''had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom ;) and Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, and 'caught hold on the horns of the altar. 29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord ; and behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him. 30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him. Thus saith the king. Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying. Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me. 31 And the king said unto him, 'Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him ; 'that thou mayest take away the innocent blood which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father. 32 And the Lord 'shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous "and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, 'Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and-''Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. 33 Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and 'upon the head of his seed for ever: "but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the Lord. 34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him : and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness. 35 ^And the king put Benaiah the son of Je- hoiada in his room over the host : and *Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of 'Abiathar. 36 TJAnd the king sent and called for ''Shimel, and saidunto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither. 37 For it shall be, tfiat on the day thou goest out, and passest over 'the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die : 4hy blood shall be upon thine own head. 38 And Shimei said unto the king. The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days. 39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, CHAP. MI. Solomon's petition.

Behold, thy servants be in Gath. 40 And Shimei arose and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants : and Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath. 41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again. 42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him. Did I not make thee to swear by the Lord, and protested unto thee,saying,Know for a cer- tain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, tnat thou shalt surely die ? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good. 43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, ancl the commandment that I have charged thee with ? 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest *all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the Lord shall 'return thy wickedness upon thine own head ; 45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and *the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever. 46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the 'kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon. CHAP. in. Solomon' s judgment biHvetn the two hartots, maketh him renmoned, AND "Solomon made affinity widi Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the 'city of David, until he had made an end of building his 'own house, and ''the house of the Lord, and 'the wall of Jerusalem round about. 2 ^Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the Lord, until those days. 3 And Solomon 'loved the Lord, *walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. 4 And 'the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there ; *for that was the great high place : a thousand burnt- offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. 5 Tf'In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon "•in a dream by night : and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 6 "And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David myfathergreat ||mercy,accordingas he "walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee ; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou ^hastgiven him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 7 And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father : 'and I am but a little child : I know not how "xo go out or come in. 8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou 'hast chosen, a great people, 'that can- not be numbered nor counted for multitude. 9 "Give therefore thy servant an f understanding heart 'to judge thy people, that I may 'discern 2S9 Solomon's judgment between two harlots: Ijctween roocI and bad : for who is able to judge this thy so ^rcat a pco|>lc ? 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solo- mon h.id asked this thmj,'. 1 1 And ' .ndmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. 2 1 And when I arose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead : but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. 22 And the other woman said. Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said. No ; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king. 23 Then said the king. The one saith. This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead ; and die other saith. Nay ; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. 24 And the king said. Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. 25 And the king said. Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. 26 Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for *her bowels f yeamedupon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said. Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. 27 Then the king answered and said, Give her 900 I. KINGS.

Blessed de the Lord this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great peo^/' \ 8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, 1 have f considered the things which thou sentest to me for : and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. 9 My servants shall bring them down from Leba- non unto the sea : 'and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt f appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged tliere, and thou shalt receive t/tem: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, *in giving food for my household. 10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar-trees and fir- trees according to all his desire. 1 1 'And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand f measures of wheat y^r food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil : thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year. 12 And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, "as he promised him : and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together. 13 T[And king Solomon raised a flevy out of all Israel ; and the levy was thirty thousand men. 14 And he sent them to Lebanon ten thousand a month by courses ; a month they were in Leba- non, and two months at home. And "Adoniram was over the levy. 1 5 "And Solomon had threescore and ten thou- So'id that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains ; 1 6 Besides the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hun- dred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work. 1 7 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, a«flf'^hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house. 1 8 And Solomon's builders, and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the || stone-squarers : so they pre- pared timber and stones to build the house. CHAP. VI. The huilding of Solomon's temple. AND "it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that *he f began to build the house of the 1,ord. 2 And 'the house which king Solomon built for the Lord, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty f«^//,f, and the height thereof thirty cubits. 3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to Ml The building and the breadth of the house ; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof, before the house. 4 And for the house he made '|| windows of narrow lights. 5 ^f And II against the wall of the house he built 'fchambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple -^and of the oracle; and he made fchambers round about. 6 The nethermost chamber wrt^ five cubits broad, and the middle was six c jbits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad : for without in the walloi the hou se he made f narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house. 7 And 'the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither : so that there was neither hammer nor axe, nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building. 8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right fside of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third. 9 *So he built the house, and finished it ; and covered the house || with beams and boards of cedar. :o And then he built chambers against all the house, rive cubits high : and they rested on the house with timber of cedar. 1 1 "jf And the word of the Lord came to Solo- mon, saying, 1 2 Coiucming this house which thou art in build- ing, 'if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them ; then will I perform my word with thee, *which I spake unto David thy father : 1 3 And 'I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not "forsake my people Israel. 14 "So Solomon built the house, and finished it. 1 5 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, ||both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling : and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir. 16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the 'most \icAy place. 1 7 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long. 18 Aud the cedar of the house within was carved with II knops and fopen flowers: alltt/o^cedar; there was no stone seen. 1 9 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 20 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he over- laid it with f pure gold; and so covered the altar which xvas of cedar. 21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle ; and he overlaid it with gold. 23 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, 962 I.

J68 Ornaments for the temple. 40^ And f Hiram made the lavers, and tne shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doinq; all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord : 41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars ; and the two 'net-works, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which 7ucrc upon the top of the pillars ; 42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two net-works, even two rows of pomegranates for one net-work, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were f upon the pillars ; 43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases ; 44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 45 'And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were ^f bright brass. 46 'In th^ plain of Jordan did the king cast them, fin the clay-ground between "Succoth and'Zarthan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweig/ied, ■| because they were exceeding many : neither was the weight of the brass ffound out. 48 And Solomon made all the vessels that per- tained unto the house of the Lord : 'the altar of gold, and 'the table of gold, whereupon 'the shew- bread was, 49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and die tongs ^gold, 50 And the bowls, and tlie snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fcensers 0/ pure gold ; and the hinges ^gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most \io\y place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple. 51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the Lord.

So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants. 14 ^Now the weijjht of gold that came to Solo- mon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, 1 5 Besides that lie liad of the merchant-men, and of the traffic cf the spice-merchants, and 'of all the kingsof Arabia, and of the llgovernorsof the country. 16 ^And king Solomon made two hundred tar- gets ^beaten gold; six hundred sliekels of gold went to one target. 1 7 And he made ""three hundred shields ^beaten gold ; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the "house of the forest of Lebanon. 18 T[ "Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the thione was round f behind : and there were f stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays. 20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps : thei-e was not f the like made in any kingdom. 21 ^['AndallkingSolomon'sdrinkingvesselsw^^ ofgo\d, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were ^pure gold ; || none were ^silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. 22 For the king had at sea a navy of 'Tharshish with the navy of Hiram : once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, 1 1 ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 23 So 'king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. 24^ And all the earth f sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. 26 ^'And Solomon 'gathered together chariots, and horsemen : and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, 267 Solomon's idolatry: whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the kin;;; at Jerusalem. 27 "And the kin^' f made silver /o be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore- trees that are in the vale, for abundance. 28 ^'fAnd Solomon had horses bioughtoutof Egypt, and 'linen yarn : the king's merchants re- ceived the linen yarn at a price. 29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: 'and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out fby their means.

And he answered, •{•Nothing: howbeit, let me go in any wise. 23 ^ And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord 'Hadadezer king of Zobah : 24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, 'when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there- in, and reigned in Damascus. 25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. 26 ^ And "Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephra- thite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose motlier's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he 'lifted up his hand against the king. 27 And this was the cause that he lifted up Ms hand against the king: 'Solomon built Millo, and f repaired the breaches of the city of David his father. 28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he f was industrious, he made him ruler over all the t charge of the house of Joseph. 29 And it came to pass at that time when Jero- boam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet ''Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way ; and he had clad himself with a new garment ; and they two were alone in the field : 30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and 'rent it in twelve pieces : 31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces : for -'"thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Solomon's death and burial.

What counsel give ye that we may answer tliis people, who have spoken to me, saying. Make the yoke which tliy father did put upon us lighter ? 10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying. Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou // lighter unto us ; thus shalt thou say unto them. My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 1 1 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke : my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 12 TJSo Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying. Come to me again the third day. 1 3 And the king answered the people f roughly, and forsook the oldmen's counsel that they gave him ; 14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying. My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke : my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people : for Ahe cause was from the Lord, that he might perform his saying, which the Lord ''spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 16 Tf So when all Israel saw that the king heark- ened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, *What portion have we in David ? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse : to your tents, O Israel : now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. 1 7 But 'as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 1 8 Then king Rehoboam *sent Adoram, who was over the tribute ; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. There 'bre kingRehoboam f made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 1 9 So 'Israel || rebelled against the house of David unto this day. 20 And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel : there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah "only. 2 1 ^ And wfien "Rehoboam was come to Jerusa- lem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the Jeroboanis idolatry. tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thou- sand chosen men, which were warriors, to fijjht against the house of Israel, to brinjj the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. 3 3 Hut 'the word of G«xl came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying. 23 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Henjamin,and to the remnant of the people, saying, 34 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel : return every man to his house ; 'for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the Lord, and returned to depart, according to the word of the Lord. 25 ^Then Jeroboam 'built Shechem in mount Kphraim, and dwelt therein ; and went out from Uu-nce, and built 'Penuel. 36 And Jeroboam said in his heart. Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David. 27 If this people 'go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, CHRIST CHRIST 97«- 9«- > Chron.

Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him. 5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord. 6 And the king answered and said unto the man of God, 'Entreat now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought fthe Lord, and the king's hand was restored nim again, and became as it was before. 7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and ^\ will give thee a reward. 8 And the man of God said unto the king, 'If thou wilt give me hilf thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place : 9 For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, *Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou earnest. 10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el. 1 1 ^Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and his f sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el : the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father. 1 2 And their father said unto them, What way went he ? for his sons had seen what way the man of God went which came from Judah. 1 3 And he said unto his sons. Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass : and he rode thereon, 14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitdng under an oak : and he said unto him, Art thou uie man of God that earnest from Judah ? And he said, I am. 1 5 Then he said unto him. Come home with me, and eat bread. 16 And he said, 1 may not return with thee, nor go in with thee : neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place : 1 7 For fit was said to me *by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou earnest 1 8 He said unto him, I ant a prophet also as thou art ; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. 19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house and drank water. 20 ^ And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the Lord came unto the prophet that brought him back : 2 1 And he cried unto the man of God that came Jtrohoam's obstinacy. from Judah, sayinjif, Thus saith the Lorp, Foras- much as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee, 23 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, 'of the which the L ORD did say to thee. Eat no bread, and drink no water ; thy carcass shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers, 23 ^f And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the as^,, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brouijht back. 24 And when he was gone, "a lion met him by the way, and slew him : and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcass. 25 And behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass : and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt. 26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard tlureof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the wcrd of the Lord ; therefore the Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath f torn him, and slain him, ac- cording to the word of the Lord, which he spake unto him. 27 And he spake to his sons, saying. Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him. 28 And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor f torn the ass. 29 And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back : and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him. 30 And he laid nis carcass in his own grave ; and tliey mourned over him, saying, "Alas, my brother ! 31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying. When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried ; 'lay my bones beside his bones : 32 'For the saying which he cried by the wryrd of the Lord against the altar in Beth-el, .ind rigain&t all the i.juses of the high places which are m the cities of 'Samaria, shall surely come to pas;.. 33 1[ 'After diis thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but f made again 0/ the lowest of the people priests of the high places : whosoever would, he t consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places. 34 'And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even 'to cut */ off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.

Nevertheless^in the time of his old age he was diseasod in his feet. 24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers irt the city of David his father: 'and Mehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead. 35 ^ And Nadab the son of Jeroboam fbeean to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two vears. 36 And he aid evil in the sight ot the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in Oiis sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. 37 ^*And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired againsthim ; and Baasha smote him at 'Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines ; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. 28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead. 39 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam ; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed iim, according unto "the saying of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite : 30 'Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he tinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his pro- vocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger. 31 Tf Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 33 'And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years. 34 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in ^the wray of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

And the people were encamped against Gibbe- thon, whicn belonger' to the Philistines. 16 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain tlic king : wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp. 1 7 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died, 19 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of die Lord, 'in walking in the way of Jero- boam, andinhis sin which he did, to make Israel to sin. 30 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Icings of Israel ? 31 ^Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Gmath,tomakehimking; and half followed Omri. 32 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Qnath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. 33 ^ In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years : six years reigned he in Tirzah. 34 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after thu name of Shemer, owner of the hill, f Samaria. 273 Elijah fed by ravens: 25 1[But 'Omri wrougnt evil in the eyes of the LoKD, and did worse than all that were before him. 26 For he "walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Ncbat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anj^er with their 'vanities. 27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, ar.i his might that he shewed, are they not written in tne book of the Chronicles of the kines of Israel ? 28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria : and Ahab his son reigned in his stead. 29 ^[And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel : and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years. jjo And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him. 31 And it came to pass, fas if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, 'that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the 'Zidonians, 'and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. 32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in 'the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 33 'And Ahab made a grove ; and Ahab ''did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. 34 T[In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build Je- richo : he Ip.id the foundation thereof in Abiram his first-born, a^ d set up the gates thereof in his young- est son Segub, 'according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

Fear not; 20 and do as thou hast said : but make me thereofa little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. 14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day titat the Lord fsendeth rain upon the earth. 1 5 And she went and did according to the say- ing of Elijah : and she, and he, and her house, did eat \\many days. 1 6 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake f by Elijah. 17 Tf And it came to pass after these things, /hat the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick ; and his sickness was so sore, that die.'e was no breath left in him. 1 8 And she said unto Elijah, -^What have I to do with thee, O thou manof God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son ? 19 Andhesaiu anto her,Giveme thyson. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his owki bed. 20 And he cried unto the Lord, and said, Lord my God, hast thou^so brought evil upon the wido ; with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? 21 'And he f stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come f into him again. 22 i\nd the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child cameintohim again, andhe*revived. 23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and deli- vered him unto his mother: and Elijah said. See, thy son liveth, 24 ^ And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this 1 know that thou ari a man of God, and that die word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth. CHAP. XVIII.

As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to-day. 16 So Obacliah went to meet Ahab, and told him : and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 1 7 ^ And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, ^Art thou he that 'troubleth Israel ? 18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel ; but thou, and thy father's house, -^in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim. 1 9 Now therefore send, a»>Kiii|i 10. *y » Deut. ij. 5.ftll.M.

Go forth, and stand *upon the mouni before the Lord. And behold, the Lord passed by, and 'a greatand strong wind rent the mountains, and brake m pieces the rocks before the Lord ; but the Lord was not '.n the wind : and after the wind an earthquake ; but >'he hov-uwas not in the earthquake : 12 ^nd p <"tir the earthquake a fire ; but the Lord was noi la the fire : aind after the fire a still small voice. 1 3 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that "he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. "And behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah ? 14 'And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts : because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thinealtars, and slain thy prophets with the sword ; and I, even I only, am left ; and they seek my life, to take it away. 1 5 And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: 'and when diou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria : 16 And 'Jehu the son of Nimsni shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel : and 'Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt tliou anoint /o be prophet in thy room. 1 7 And 'it shall come to pass, thatlam that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay : and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu 'shall Elisha slay. 18 "Yet II I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, 'and every mouth which hath not kissed him. 1 9 ^ So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing ze/tV^ twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth : and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mande upon him. 20 And he left the oxen> and ran after Elijah, and said, ■'Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, f Go back again : for what have I done to thee ? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and 'boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have. Ben-hadad besifgeth Samaria. 5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold! and thy wives, and thy children ; 6 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to-mor- row about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants ; and it shall be, that whatsoever is f pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in. their hand, and take it away. 7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto ire for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold, and f I denied him not. 8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent. 9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben- hadad, Tell my lord the king. All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first, I will do : but this thing I may not do. And the messengers de- parted, and brought him word again. ID And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, 'The god? do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that f follow me. 1 1 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell idm, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off. 1 2 And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this f message as he was 'drinking, he and the kings in the || pavilions, that he s?id unto his servants, \%^t yourselves in array. And they set tliemselves in array against the city. 13 TfAnd behold, there f came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying. Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou seen all this great multitude ? behold, '1 will deliver it into thiwe hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. 14 And Ahab said, By whom ? And he said. Thus saith the Lord, Even by the || young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said. Who shall f order the battle ? And he answered. Thou. 15 Then he tiumbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hun dred and thirty-two : and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, Seing seven thousand. 16 And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad awM 'drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him. 17 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first ; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria. 18 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive ; of whether they be cor out for war, take them alive. *9 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and Uie army which followed them. 20 And they slew every one his man : and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben CHAP.

The Syrians are overthrown. hadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse witli the horsemen. 2 1 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chanots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter. 22 1[And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him. Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what tliou doest : 'for at th6 return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee. 23 And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him. Their gods are gods of the hills ; there- fore they were stronger than we ; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. 24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms : 25 And number thee an army,like the armyf that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for cha- riot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so. 26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to-^Aphek, f to fight against Israel. 27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids ; but the Syrians filled the country. 28 ^And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said. Thus saith the Lord, Because the Syrians have said. The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore '^will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 29 And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined : and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day. 30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city ; and /ii^r^a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, ||f into an inner chamber. 31 ^ And his servants said unto him. Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, *put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel : peradventure he will save thy life. 32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said. Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive ? he w my brother. 33 Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would com* from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him ; and he caused him to come up into the chariot. 34 And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore ; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, Ahab's foolish pity reproved. as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee awav with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away. 35 Tf And a certain man of *the sons of the pro- Ehcts said unto his neighbour 'in the word of the ,oRD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man re- fused to smite him. 36 Then said he unto him. Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon .IS thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, "a lion found him, and slew him. 37 Then he found another man, and said. Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, fso tliat in smiting he wounded him, 38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face. 39 And "as the king passed by, he cried unto the king : and he said. Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Kr^ep this man : if by any means he be missing, then 'shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt fP^X * talent of silver. 40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, the was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, .So sluUl thy judgment be ; thyself hast decided //. 41 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face ; and the king of Israel discerned him that he ivas of the prophets. 42 And he saia unto him. Thus saith the Lord, ^Becau se thou hast let go ou t ofthy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people. 43 And the king of Israel 'went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.

AND it came to pass after these things, that Na- both the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which zc^ox in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying. Give me thy 'vineyard, that I may have it for a gfarden of herbs, because it is near unto my house : and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it ; or if it fseem good to thee, I will gfive thee the worth of it in money. 3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it me, 'that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. 4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and dis- pleased, because of the word which Naboth the Jez- reelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 5 ^But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto nim, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread ? 6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto 978 I.

As the Lord liveth, -'^what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak. 1 5 T[ So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth- gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him. Go, and prosper : for the I ord shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 1 6 And the king said unto him. How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord ? 1 7 And he said, I saw all Israel 'scattered upon the hills, as sheep diat have not a shepherd : and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return every nan to his house in peace. 1 8 And the king of Israel said unto lehoshaphat. Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil ? 19 And he said. Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord : *I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, 'and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. 20 And the Lord said, Who shall || persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead ? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. 21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood be- fore the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. 22 And the Lord said unto him. Wherewith ? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, ^hou shalt persuade him, and prevail also : go forth, and do so. 23 'Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee. 24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak untc thee ? 25 And Micaiah said. Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go ||inio fan inner chamber to hide thyself. 26 And the king of Israel said. Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash die king's son ; 27 And say, Thus saith the king. Put ihis felloiv in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and with water of affllcdon, unUl I come in peace. 28 And Micaiah said. If thou return at all in peace, "the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you. 279 AAaS is slain. II.

And the king of Isratl 'disguised himself, and went into the battle. 31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying. Fight neither with small nor great, save only with Uie king of Israel. 32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw jehoshaphat, that they said. Surely it is the king of Israel. And thev turned aside to fight against him : and Jehoshaphat 'cried out. ^^ And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perrei-'f;d that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. 34 And a certain man drew a bow fat a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the f joints of the harness : wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot. Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host ; for I am f wounded. 35 And the battle f increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the .Syrians, and died at even : and the blood ran out of the wound into the f midst of the chariot. 36 And there went a proclamation throughoutthe host about the going down of the sun, saying. Every man to his city and every man to his own country. 37 ^So the king died, and f was brought to Samaria ; and they buried the king in Samaria. 38 And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria ; and the dogs licked up his blood ; and tiiey washed his armour : according 'unto the word of the Lord which he spake. 39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and ""the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 40 So Ahab slept with his fathers ; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. 41 ^And 'Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to CHRIST I Or. wh4n k4 lit Jiifuitt mmJ tmltr imit llkt tmtllt. • a Chron. ji. it.

And he said. It is Elijah the Tishbite. 9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him : and be- hold, hd sat on the top of an hill. And he spake jnto him. Thou man of God, the king hath said. Come down. 10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I ^^ 4 man of God, then 'let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and con- sumed him and his fifty. 1 1 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty.

And he amse, and went down with b.m unto the king. 16 And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sen', messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, {is it not because there is no God in li rael to inquire of his word ?) therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. 1 7 ^So he di«l according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken.

And he said. Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee ; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said. As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So theycameto Jericho. 5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to-day ?

And they two went on. 7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood f to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan. 8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote tlie waters, and -^they were divided hither and thidier, so that they two went over on dry ground. 9 ^And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion f thy spirit be upon me. 10 And he said, f Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee ; but if not, it shall not be so. 1 1 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that behold, tltere appeared 's. chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 1 3 ^ And Elisha saw it, and he cried, 'My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof !

Where is the Lord God of Elijah ? And when he also had smitten the waters, *they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. 1 5 And when the sons of the prophets which were 'to view at J«richo saw him, they said.

And one of the king of Israel's ser- vants answered and said. Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat which poured water on die hands of Elijah. 1 2 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehosha- phat and the king of Edom 'went down to him. 13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, 'What have I to do with thee ? 'get thee to 'the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab. 1 4 And Elisha said, "As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I re- gard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Ju- dah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee. 1 5 But now bring me a "minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that 'the hand of tne LoRu came upon him. 16 And he said, Thus saith the Lord, ^Make this valley full of ditches. 1 7 For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain ; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your catde, and your beasts. 18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord : he will deliver the Moabites al.so into your hand. 19 And ye sliall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and f mar every good piece of land with stones. 20 And it came to pass in the morning, when 'the meat-offering was offered, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. 21 ^And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they fgathered all that were aUe to fput on armour, anvd upward, and stood in the border. :t2 And they rose up eariy in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood: 7,3 And they said, This is blood : the kings are siirely f slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. 24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them : but || they went for- ward smidng the Moabites, even in their country. 25 And they beat down the cides, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and hUed It ; and they sUwped all the wells of waller, and felled all die good trees : -(-wnly in *^Kir-hara- seth left they the stones thereof} howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it 26 f And when the kii^ of ' ^6ab saw that the bat- tle was too sore for him, he took with him sevsn Bisl^ mulHplieth the widow's oil. hundred men that drew swdrds, to break through even untc the king of Edom ; but they could not 27 Then 'he'tooK his ddest Son, that shouM have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt- offering upon the wall : and there was great indig- nation against Israel : 'and they departed from him, and returned to their own land; • CHAP.

NOW there cried a certain woman of the wives of 'the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, say- ing, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord : and the creditor is come 'to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. 2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee ? tell me, what hast thou in the house ? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house save a pot of oil. 3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels ; '|| borrow not a few. 4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought t/te vessels to her I and she poured out. 6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bri.ig me yet a vessel. And he said unto her. There u not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. '7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said. Go, sell the oil, and pay thy |jdebt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. 8 ^Ahd fit fell on a day, that Elisha passed to 'Shunem, where was a great woman; and she f constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 9 And she said unto her husband. Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which psisseth by us continually. 10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on die wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick : and it shall be. when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thidier. 1 1 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 1 2 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite.

And she said. Nay, my lord, thou man of God, '''do not lie unto thine handmaid. 1 7 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, ac- cording to the time of life. 1 8 ^And whert the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. 1 9 And he said unto his father. My head, my nead. And he said to a lad.

Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God» and come again. 23 And he said. Wherefore wilt thou go to him to-day ? it is neither new-moon, nor sabbath. And she said, // shall be fwell. 24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her ser- vant. Drive, and go forward ; f slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee. 25 So she went and came unto the man of God 'to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite : 26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee ? Is it well with thy husband ? Is it well with the child ? And she an- swered, // is well. 27 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught f him by the feet : but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said. Let her alone ; for her soul is f vexed within her : and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. 28 Then she said. Did I desire a son of my lord? *did I not say. Do not deceive me ? 29 Then he said to Gehazi, 'Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, 'salute him not ; and if any salute thee, answer him not again : and 'lay my staff upon the face of the child. 30 And the mother of the child said, "As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her. 31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the £ice of the child \ but there was neither voice, nor f hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and tokl him, saying. The child is *nbt awaked. 3a And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, end bud upon his bed. 33 He "went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, ^and prayed unto th« L^ro.

Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son. 37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and 'took up her son, and went out 38 ^And Elisha came again to "Gilgal. And there was a 'dearth in the land ; and the sons of the prophets were 'sitting before him : and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets. 39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into uie pot of pottage : for they knew them not 40 So they poured out for the men to eat And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O tJiou man of God, there is 'death in the pot And they could not eat thereof. 41 But he said, Then bring meal.

Behold, 'i/'the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be ? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyeSi but shalt not eat thereof. 3 T[ And there were four leprous men ^t the en- tering in of the gate; and they said one to another, Why sit we here undl we die ? 4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the fomine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us (all unto the host of the Svrians: if they save us aUve, we shall live ; and if tney kill us, we shall but die. 5 And they rose up in the twilight to go unto the> camp of the Syrians : and when uiey werte )come to die uttermost part of the camp ^ ' Syria, bcliold, there was no man there. 6 FortiieLoRoluul nude the hostofthsSyiians I0 hear a noise of chatiots; and a-ndise of horses, evem the noise of a great host: and thej' said one 10 another,Lo, the kwg of Israel hath hired against us /the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of tht Egyptians* to come upon us. > ■ ; u 7 Wherefore they'arose Mid fled in. *.ai.i> The unbelieving lord tro>ldem to death, and left Jieir tents, and their horses, and their ass«8, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. 8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did cat and drink, and carried thence silver, a: \ gold, and raimenti and went and hid it: and came again, and entered into another lent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it. 9 Then they said one to another. We do not well ; this day is a day of good tidingrs, and we hold our peace : if we tarry till the mo -^ing-light, f some mischief will come upon us : now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household. 10 So they came and called unto the porter of the city : and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were. 1 1 And he cal'ed the porters ; and they told it to the king's hovse within. 12 ^And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we bt hungry ; therefore are they gone out of the camp, to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city. 13 And one of his ceivants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left fin the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, / say, they are even as all the multinide of the Israelites that are consumed :) and let us send and see. 14 They took therefore two chariot hoi-ses ; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see. 1 5 And they went after them unto Jordan : and lo, all the way was full of garments aiiu veut:!:^, which the Syrians had cast away in their h,u*^e.

And his chariot was made ready. And 'Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and j-met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 And It came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said.

And he fled to 'Me- giddo, and died there. 28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to ierusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with lis fathers in the city of David. 29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. 30 ^And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jeze- bel heard of it; 'and she fpainted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. 31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, 'Had Zimri peace, who slew his master ? 32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said.

But Jehu did it in subt iy, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. 20 And Jehu said, f Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it. 21 And Jehu sent through all Israel : and all the worshippers of Baal came, so tliat there was not a man left that came not. And they came into tlie 'house of Baal; and the house of Baal was [jfull from one end to another. 22 And he said unto him that was over the vestry. Bring forth vestments for all tlie worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestmem's. 23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here witli you none of the servants of the Lgrd, but the worshippers of Baal only. 24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men with- out, and said, .^any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, ^his life s/uill be for the life of him. 25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them ; let none come forth. And they smote diem with fthe edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to me city of the house of Baal. 26 And they brought fordi the f'images out of the house of Baal, and burned them. 27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, 'and made it a draught-house unto this day. 28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. 29 Tf Howbeit,y;v»» the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to mt, 'die golden calves that were in Beth-cl, and that were in Dan.. ^^1,^^,,,^^,^^^.

If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever. 8 But he forsook the counsel which die old men gaveliim, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him. 9 And he said unto them, What advice give ye, that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us ? 10 And the young men that were brought up with him, spake unto him, saying. Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying. Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us ; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little j^uger shall be thicker than my father's loins, 1 1 Forwhereas myfather f puta heiavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 1 2 So Jeroboam and all the people came tc Re- hoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day. 13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men, 14 And answered them after the advice of the young men.saying. My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto : my father chastised you widi v/hips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: 'for the cause was of God, that the Lord might per- form his word, which he spake by the 'hand of Ahi- jah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat 16 ^ And when all Israel saw that theking would not hearken unto them, the people'answered the king, saying.

Rthoboam's wives and children : ' 2 But the word of the Lx)rd came 'to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Ben- jamin, saying, 4 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren : return every man to his house : for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam. 5 ^ And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Juddh. 6 He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam,andTekoa, 7 And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam, 8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, 9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, 10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fenced cities. 1 1 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, anti store of victual, and of oil and wine. 12 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. 13 ^And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel f resorted to him out of all their coasts. 14 (For the Levites left 'their subui^bs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem : for 'Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from exe- cuting the priest's office unto the Lord : 15 'And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for •''the devils, and for *^the calves which he had made.) 16 *And after them out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord God of thteir fathers. 17 So they 'strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years : for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon. i8T[And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the (laughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse ; 19 Which bare him children, Jeush, and Shama riafa, and Zaham. 20 And after her he took *Maachah, the daughter of Absalom; which bare hint Abijal:, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. 21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter Of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines : •(for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concu- bines ; and begat twenty and eight sons, and three- score daughters.)

AN D "it came to pass, when Refioboam had esta- blished the khgdom, and had strengthened himself, *he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. 2 'And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up agamst Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord, 3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen ; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt ; 'the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. 4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to judah, and came to Jerusalem. 5 ^Then came 'Shemaiah the prophet to Reho- boam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gath- ered together to Jerusalem because of .Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, ■'Ye have for- saken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 6 Whereupon the princes of Israel, and the king ''humbled themselves ; and they said, *The Lord is • righteous. 7 And when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, 'the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves ; therefore 1 will not destroy them, but I will grant them ||some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 8 Nevertheless *they shall be his servants ; that they may know 'my service, and the servirc of the kingdoms of the countries. 9 "So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house ; he took all : he carried away also the shields (v gold which Solomon had "made. ID Instead of which, king Rehoboam madeshield* of brass, and committed /^m'tothehandsof the chief of the guard,that kept the entrance of the king's house. 1 1 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them agdin into the guard-chamber. 1 2 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: jj and also in Judah things went well. 13 ^So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned ; for ^Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, 'the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's nahie was Naamah an Ammonitess. 14 And he did evil, because he || prepared not his heart to seek the Lord. 1 5 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, art they not written in the f book of Shemaiah the prophet, 'and of Iddo the seer concerning genealo- gies ?

His mother's name also was 'Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 3 And Abijah fset the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men : Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. 4^ And Abijah stood up upon mount 'Zema- raim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel ; 5 Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel 'gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons 'by a covenant of salt ? 6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the soa of David, is risen up, and hath •'rebelled against his lord, 7 And there are gathered unto him *^vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened them- selves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and cou' ' not withstand them. 8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David ; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam *made yOu for gods. 9 'Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made irou priests after the manner of the nations oiot/ter ands ? *so that whosoever cometh f to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, ihe same may be a priest of them that are no gods. 10 But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him ; and the priests, which min- ister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: 1 1 'And they burn unto the Lo' > every morning and every evening burnt-sacriikes and sweet in- cense: the "she w-bread also set they in order u pon the pure table; and thecandlestickof gold with the lamps thereof "to burn every evening : for we keep the charge of the LoRDourGod; butye have forsaken him. 1 2 And behold. God himself is with us for our captain, 'and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, ^fighi ye not against the Lord God of your ^fithers ; for ye shall not prosper. 13 ^But Jeroboam caused an ambusbment to come about behind them : so they were before Ju- dah, and the jimbushment was behind them. 1 4 And when Judah looked back, behold, the bat- tle was beibre and behiod : and they cried unto the LcRD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 984 II.

And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people ; and we will it with thee in the war. 4 ^ And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, ''Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to-day. 5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up ; for God will de- liver it into the king's hand. 6 But Jehoshaphat said, /f /A«»rnot here a prophet of die Lord f besides, that we might inquire of him? 7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: but I hate him ; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil : the same is Micaiah the son of Imla.

Behold, the words of the prophets (Uclare good to the king ■\mi\i one assent ; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good. 13 And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, 'even what my God saith, that will I speak. 14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micniah, shall we go to Ramoth- gilead to bartle, or shall I forbear ? And he said. Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand. 1 5 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee tliai diou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the Lord ? 16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shep- herd: and the Lord said. These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. 1 7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell theft that he would not prophesy good unto me, || but evil ? 18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the Lord : I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 19 And the Lord said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ra- moth-gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. 20 Then there came out a •''spirit, and stood be- fore the Lord, and said, I will entice him. And the Lord said unto him,. Wherewith ? 21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And tlie Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out and do even so. 22 Now therefore, behold, 'the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and tile Lord liath spoken evil against thee. 23 Then Zedekiah tne son of Chenaanah came near, and *smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said. Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak unto thee? 24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go || into fan inner cham- ber to hide thyself. 25 Then the king of Israel said.

Thus saith the king, Tut liasfellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace. 27 And Micaiah said.

So the king of Israel dis- guised himself ; and they went to the batde. 30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of tlie chariots that were with him, saying. Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel. 31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said. It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him ; and God moved them to depart from him. 32 For it came to pass, that, wl]en the, captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again f from pursuing him. 33 And a certain man drew a bow fat a ven- ture, and smote the king of Israel f between tlie joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot-man.

Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem ; 'Be- lieve in the Lord your God, so shall ye be estab- lished ; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, 'and f that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, 'Praise the Lori>; 'for his mercy endureth for eve 22 TffAnd when they began fto sing and to praise, ''the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against judah ; and ||they were smitten. 23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them : and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped f to destroy another. 24 And when Judah came toward the watch- tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the mul- titude, and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and f none escaped. 25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for diemselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much. 26 ^And on the fourth day they assembled them- selves in the valley of || Berachah : for there they blessed the Lord : therefore the name of the same place was called,The valley of Berachah,unto thisday. 27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and •Jehoram slayetk his brethren: Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the f rorc-front of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy ; for the Lord had 'made them to rejoice over their enemies. 38 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord. 39 And '''the fear of God was on all the king- doms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel. 30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet : for his 'God gave him rest round about 31 ^*And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Je- rusalem.

And the cotigregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and, as many as were of a free heart, burnt-offerings. 33 And the number of the burnt-otterings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two h'ndred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to the Lord. 33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep. 34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all tne burnt-offerings: wherefore 'their brethren the Levites f did help them till the work was ended, and undl the ot/ier priests had sancdfied themselves: ■''for the Levites w^r^ more *^upright in heart to sancdfy themselves than the priests. 35 And also the burnt-offerings were in abun* dance, with *the fat of the peace-offerings, and 'the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering.

'were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand? 1 4 Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand? 1 5 Now therefore 'let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet be- lieve him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand? 1 6 And his servants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his servant Hezekiah. 1 7 'He wrote also letters to rail on the Lord God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, 'As the gods of the nations oi other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand. 1 8 'Then they cried with a loud voice, in the Jews' speech, unto the people of Jerusalem 'that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city. 19 And they spake against the God of Jerusa- lem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which vtere "the work of the hands of man. 30 'And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and nhe prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven. 21 ^'And the Lord sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, the/ that came forth of his own bowels f slew him there with the sword. 22 Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the in- habitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king 6f Assyria, and from the hand of all^^M^r, and guided them on every side. 23 And many brought gifts unto the Lord to Jerusalem, and f "presents to Hezekiah king of Ju- dah: so that he was ^magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth. 24 Tf'In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the Lord: and he spake unto him, and he Ugave him a sign. 25 But Hezekiah ''rendered not again according to dfie benefit done unto him ; for %is heart was BtRire DcKirs CHRIST CHRIST 710. 1 1 Kings 7'3- /ch. 94 it. iB. 19. f Jcr. 9«. \Of,inlk, 18. 19. fHck./ib llrotir- kcU. li/Hmgrnf.

CHAP. XXXIV, I JosiaKt i-td reign, 3 lit dtttraytth idtlatry. JOSIAH 'was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his ^ther, anddeclined neither to the right hand, nor to the left. 3 T[For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to 'seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began 'to purge Judah and Jerusalem ''from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images. 4 'And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the || images that zc/^^ on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the ( arved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dusf of tJuni, •'and strewed it upon the fgraves of them that had sacrificed unto them. 5 And he 'burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. 6 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto ^laphtali, with their || mattocks round about. 7 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had *beaten the graven images f int'^ powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. 8 \ Now 'in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged die land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Juahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God 9 And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered 'the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem. 10 And they put it in the hand of me workmen that had the oversight of the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and amend the house : 1 1 Even to the artificers and builders gave they itf to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and Ijto floor the houses which the kings of Ju(kh had destroyed. 12 And the men did the work feiithfuUy: an4 the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of tlie sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and oth^r ^the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of music. 84^ Huidah's prophecy. 1 3 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: 'and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters. 14 ^And when they Drought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest "found a book of the law of the Lord given by + Moses. 1 5 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the :icri'je, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan. 1 6 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying. All that was committed tto thy servants, they do it. 1 7 And they have feathered together the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen. 18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, say- ing, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Siuphan read fit before the king. 19 And it came to pass when uie king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes. 20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahi- kam the son of Shaphan, and || Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a ser- vant of the king's, saying, 2 1 Go, inc|uire of the Lord for me, and for them that are left m Israel, and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out upon us, be- cause our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do after all that is written in this book. 22 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of "Tikvath, the son of || Hasrah, keeper of the f wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jeru- salem j| in the college:) ana they spake to her to that effect. 23 ^ And she answered them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me, 24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah: 25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with 2r. •ch. ag. 5, MMsk 6. ao. tHcb. «0trtd, •Cll.ja.a4. tHcb. yosiaKs solemn passover. thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eye s see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again. 29 ^*Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 30 And the kmg went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and the inhabi- tants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, f great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the cove- nant that was found in the house of the Lord. 31 And the king stood in his ^place, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book. 32 And he caused all that were f present iti Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the mhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the cove- nant of God, the God of their fathers. 33 And Josiah took away all the 'abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the chil- dren of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God. "And all his days they departed not f from follow- ing the Lord, the God of their fathers. CHAP. XXXV. yoiiah ktiptth a moil tolemn passavtr. MOREOVER, "Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem : and tliey killed the pass- over on the ^fourteenth day of the first month. 2 And he set the priests in their 'charges, and ''encouraged them to the service of the house of the Lord, 3 And said unto the Levites 'that taught all Is- rael, which were holy unto the Lord, -^Put the holy ark 'in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build: Ht shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the Lord your God, and his people Israel, 4 And prepare yourselves by the 'houses of your fathers after your courses, according to the *writ- ing of David king of Israel, and according to the 'writing of Solomon his son: 5 And "stand in the holy place according to the divisions of f the families of the fathers of your brethren f the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites. 6 So kill the passover, and "sanctify yourselves, and prepareyour brethren, that /A*_y may do accord- ing to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 7 And Josiah f 'gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for die passover-oflferings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thou- sand, and three thousand bullocks: these xvereoi the king's substance. 8 And his princes f gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zech- ariah and Jehiel, rulers of the hous»of God, g£ive unto n Passover, ice, neither will bring ints of the again. :d together )use of the the inhabi- :he Levites, nd he read if the cove- ; Lord. and made r the Lord, estimonies, with all his nant which present iti .

And so did they with die oxen. 13 And they 'roasted the passover with fire, ac- cording to the ordinance : but the other holy offer- ings *sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and fdivided them speedily ai long all the people. 14 And afterward they made ready for them selves, and for the priests : because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt- oiferings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron. 15 And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their f place, according to the 'commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters "waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 16 So ail the service of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer bumt-offerings upon the altar of the Lord, accord- ing to the commandment of king Josiah. 17 And the children of Israel that were f present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of 'unleavened bread seven days. 18 And 'there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a pass- over as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept. 20 ]f*After all this, when Josiah had prepared the f temple, Necho king of Egj'pt came up to fight against Charch.'mish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him. 21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king cf Ju^h? / tme not against thee this day, but against f the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling tvith God, who is with me, that he des' roy thee not 22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face ^ him, but 'disguised himself that he might fight CHAP.

NOW when "the adversaries of Judah and Ben- jamin heard that fthe children of the captivity builded the temple unto the Lord God of Israel; 2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him 'since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither. 3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, 'Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the Lord God of Israel, as 'king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us. 4 Then 'the peopleof the land weakened the hands ofthe people of Judali, and troubled them in building, 5 And nired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. 6 And in the reign of fAhasuerus, in the begin- ning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation agamst the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 7 ^And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote ||Bish- 1am, Mithredath,Tabeel, and the rest of their f com- panions unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter zf tribute, and custom, and so thou shaft endamage the || revenue of the kings. 14 Now because f we have maintenance from M^ ktHg's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and cer- tified the king; 15 That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in tlu; book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have f moved sedition f within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed. 16 We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river. 17 ^Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their -{-companions that dwell in Sama- ria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time. 18 The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me. 19 And f I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath f made insurrection against kings, and that rebel- lion and sedition have been made therein. 20 There have been mighty kings also over Je- rusalem, which have *ruled over all countries 'be- yond the river: and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them. 21 f Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me. 22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings? 23 ^Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes* letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and tlieir companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease -fby force and power. 24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail: 10 'That they may offer sacrifices f of sweet savoui j unto the God of heaven, and -^pray for the life of the king, and of his sons. 1 1 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter diis word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being setup, f let him be hanged there- on ; land let his house be made a dunghill for this. 1 2 And the God that hath caused his 'name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem.

The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall. 1 1 Andour adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease. 12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, II From all places whence ye shall return unto us t/tejy will be upon you. 13 ^Therefore set I fin the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, 1 even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows. 14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the Eeople, 'Be not ye afraid of them : remember the ,()UD which is *great and terrible, and 'fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. 1 5 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, "and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work. 1 6 And it came to pass from that time forth, thai the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah. 1 7 They which builded on the .wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wroitght in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon. 18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded f by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. 1 9 ^ And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people. The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another. 20 In wliat place t/tere/ore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye tliither unto us: "our God shall fight for us. 2 1 So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared. 22 Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge with- in Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day. 23 So neither I; nor my brethren, nor my ser- vants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, notie of us put off our clothes, || saving that every one {.dt: them oif for washing. >HU hi :• •■' CHAP.

UthmiaKs hospitality. 2 For there were that said. We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. 3 Some also there were that said. We have mort- gaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. 5 Yet now 'our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children : and lo, we ''bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, ixAsome of our daughters are brought into bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them: for other men have our lands and vineyards. 6fAnd I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 7 Then fl consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, 'Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them. 8 And I said unto them. We, after our ability, havc'i-edeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen ; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer. 9 Also I said. It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk 'in the fear of our God ^because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: 1 pray you, let us leave off this usury. 11 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive-yards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. 12 Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou say- ^K Then I called the priests, 'and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise. 13 Also *I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and f emptied. And all the congrega- tion said, Amen, and praised the Lord. 'And the people did according to this promise. 14 ^Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year "even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not "eaten the bread of the gov- ernor. 15 But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of sil- ver: yea, even their servants bai-- rule over the peo- ple; but 'so did not I, because of the ^fear of God. 16 Yea, also, I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any lanwi: and all my ser- vaots tumr ^thered thither unto the work. >7 Moreover, there were 'at my table an hundred ««fon ci:ki8T 4l>. • It*. 5I. 7.

NOW it came to pass, "when Sanballat, and To- biah,and ||Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and /^a/ there was no breach left therein ; ('though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates ;) 2 That Sanballat and Geshem 'sent unto me, saying. Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of "'Ono. But they 'thought to do me mischief. 3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? 4 Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. 5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand ; 6 Wherein was written. It is reported among the heathen, and ||Gashmu saith it,hhat thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words. 7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of tliee at Jerusalem, saying. There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together. 8 Then I sent unto him, saying. There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart. 9 For they all made us afraid, saying. Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. 10 Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said. Let us meet together in the house of God, widiin the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee. 1 1 And I said. Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. 1 2 And lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that 'he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 1 3 Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and titat they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me. S»3 A regisltr of those that NEHEMIAH. 14 *My God, think thou upon Tobiah and San- ballat, according to these their works, and on the 'prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear. 1 5 ^ So tlie wail was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. 16 And it came to pass, that *when all our ene- mies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these ihinirs, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for 'they perceived that this work was wrought of our God. 1 7 Tf Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah fsent many letters unto Tobiah, and t/ie tetters of Tobiah came unto them. 18 For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son-in-law of Shcchaninh the son of Arah; and his son Johnnan had taken the daughter of MeshuUam the son of Berechiah. 19 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my || words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear. CHAP VII. A rtgitltr of Ihati wht relumtJ from Babylon, NOW it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had 'set up the doors, and the porters, and the singers, and the Levites were appointed, 2 That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler *of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and "feared God above many. 3 And I said unto them. Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house. 4 Now the city was flarge and great : but the peo- ple xoere few therein, and tlie houses^&l?^'lf not builded. 5 ^And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at tne first, and found written therein, 6 '^rhese are the children of the province, that went up out of tlie captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city; 7 Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehe- miah, || Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bil- shan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The num- ber, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this; 8 The children of Parosn, two thousand an hun- dred seventy and two. 9 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two. 10 The children of Arah,sixhundredfiftyandtwo. 1 1 The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hun- dred etnd eighteen. 1 3 The children of Elam, a thousand two hun- dred fifty and four.

CHAP. VIII. The rtligiotu manntr of reading and hearing Ihe law. AND all 'the people gathered themselves toge- ther as one man into the street that was 'be- fore the water-gate; and they spake unto Ezra the 'scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel. 2 And Ezra the priest brought ''the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all fthat could hear with understanding, 'upon Uie first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read therein before the street that was before the water-gate f from the morning until mid- day, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a fpulpit of wood, which they had made for die purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shcma, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maasciah, on his right hand; and on his left nand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah. and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the fsight of all the people ; (for he A^'as above all the people ;) and when he opened it, all the people ^stood up: 6 And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. And all the people 'answered, Amen, Amen, with 'lifting up their hands: and they 'bowed their heads, and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah,Maaseiah,Kelita, Aza- rial),Jozabad,Hanan.Pelaiah,andtheLevites,*caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. 8 So they read in the book |n the law of God distincdy, and gave the sen^e, and caused them to understand the reading. 9 T['And Nehemiah, which is ||the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, "and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, "This day is holy unto the Lord your God; •mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. xo Then he said unto them. Go your way, eat 866 A solemn fast, and NEHEMIAH the fat, and drink the sweet, 'and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our l^)Rn: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength. 1 1 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. 1 3 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to 'send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had 'understood the words that were declared unto them. 13 ^And on the second day were gathered to- gether the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even [|to understand the words of the law. 14 And they found written in the law which the Loud had commanded fby Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in 'booths in the feast of the seventh month: 1 5 And 'that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and "in Jerusalem, saying. Go forth unto the mount, and 'fetch olive-branches, and pine- branches, and myrtle-btanches, and palm-branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. 1 6 TySo the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the 'roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the 'water-gate, "and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. 1 7 Andallthecongregationofthemthatwerecome again outof the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths; for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very 'great gladness. 18 Also 'day by day, from the first day unto th(^ last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was fa solemn assembly, 'according unto the manner. CHAP. IX. A ttltmn fast, and rtpmlantt cf Iht ptopU. "V T OW in the twenty and fourth day of "this month 1 ^ the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, 'and earth upon them. 2 And 'the seed of Israel separated themselves from all f strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fatliers. 3 And they stood up in their place, and 'read in the book of the lawof the Lord their God r»^ fourth S>art of the day; and another fourth part they con- iessed, and worshipped the Lord their God. 4 ^Then stood up upon the || stairs, of the Le- vites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the Lord their God. 5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said. Stand up, and bless the Lord your God for ever and ever: and blessed be 'thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

And I gath- ered them together, and set them in their fpUce. 1 2 'Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the || treasuries. 1 3 'And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe; and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and f next to them vm Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted 'faithful, and ftheir office was to distribute unto their brethren. 1 4 'Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my f good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the | offices thereof. 15 ^In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine-presses 'on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner cf burdens, "which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals. 16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. 1 7 -^hen I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said ur.io them. What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day? 18 'Did not y9ur fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bnng more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. 19 And it came to pass, that, when the gates of Jerusalem 'began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded mat the gates should be shut, and charged that they shouM not be opened till after the sabbath: "and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day. 20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusdem once or twice. 21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them.

The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not. 18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath. 19 f If it please the king, let there go a royal commandr.ient f from him, and let it be written among die laws of the Persians and the Medes, t that it be not altered.

CHAP. II. Oul eftht choict ofvirgint, a gtuen it tt it thettn. A FTER these things, when the wrath of king r\^ Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and 'what was de- creed against her. 2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him. Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: 3 And let the king appoint officers in all the pro- vinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, funto the custody of || Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women ; and let their things for purification be given thetn: 4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so. 5 ^Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name tuas Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite; 6 *Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with lljeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. 7 And he f brought up Hadassah, (that is Esther,) 'his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was f fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, wheu her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.- 8 T[So it came to pass, when the king's com- mandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were 'gathered together unto Shu- shan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. 9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her 'things for purification, with f such things as be longed to her, and seven maidens wliich were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and f he preferred her and her maids unto the yixsX. place ol the house of tlie women. 10 ■'Esther had not shewi htr people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.

And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. • 1 6 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house-royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. 17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and || favour fin his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti. 1 8 Then the king *made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a f release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king. 1 9 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat 'In the king'sgate. 20 *Esther had not yet shewed her kindred, nor her people, as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as'when she was brought up with him. 21 ^In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, || Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept f the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. 22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, "who told it unto Esther the queen ; and Esther certified the king tftereo/'m Mordecai's name. 2 3 And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged ona tree : and it was written in "the book of the Chronicles before the king.

ON that night f could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring "the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. 2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of II Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the f door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. 3 And the king said. What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There ij nothing done for him. 4 ^ And the king said. Who is in the court? (Now Haman was come into 'the outward court of the king's house, 'to speak unto the king to hang Mor- decai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.) 5 And the king's servants said unto him. Be- hold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said. Let him come in. 6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him. What shall be done unto the man f whom the king delighteth to honour? (Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?) 7 And Haman answered the king. For the man f whom the king delighteth to honour, 8 f Let the royal apparel be brought f which the king useth to wear, and 'the horse that the kii:o rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head: 9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and fbring him on horseback through the street of the city, 'and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour. 10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou h3St said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: fiet nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken. 1 1 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horse- back through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him. Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour. i2^And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman lasted to his house mourn- ing, fand having his head covered. 1 3 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail agaunst him, but shjut surely fall before him. 14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto *the banquet that Esther had pre- pared. ' ' Haman hanged. CHAP. VII, VIII. Mordecai advanced. CHAP. VII. EUhtr maitth tuU for ktr mm Kft and ktr ptepUt. SO the king and Haman came f to banquet with Estlier the queen. 2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day "at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be per- formed, even to the half of the kingdom. 3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request: 4 For we are 'sold, I and my people, f to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bond-men and bond-women, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage. 5 ^[Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen. Who is he, and where is he, fthat durst presume in his heart to do so? . 6 And Esther said, f The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid II before the king and the queen. 7 ^And fhe king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace-garden : and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. 8 Then the king returned outof the palace-garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon 'the bed whereon ^ '\itrwas. Then said the king. Will he force the queen also f before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they 'covered Haman's face. 9 And 'Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king. Behold also-^the f gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in tH« house of Haman. Then the king said, hiang him thereon. 10 So 'they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified. CHAP. VIII. Esthtr maketh mil It revtru I/aman't Uttirs. ON that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told 'what he was unto her. 2 And the king took off *his ring which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. 3 1[And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, f and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agag- ite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews. 4 Then 'the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther.

I HERE was a man "in the land of Uz, whose name was 'Job; and that man was 'perfect upright, and one that ''feared God, and es- chewed evil. 3 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His II substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and live hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great || household; so that this man v'::^ the greatest of all the t men of the east. 4 And his sons wc" : and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent ancj called for their three sisters to eat and to drink vlth them. 5 And it was so, when the day? of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent an 1 sanctified them, and rose up early in the movning, *i ad offered bumt- ofTeringsafftf/TZ/wf tothe ni;mbercf themrJl: for Job said,Itmaybe thatmysons have sinned,and-'cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job f continually. f> T[Now 'there was a day *when the sons of God ca. ae to present themselves before the Lord, and f Satan came also |among them. 7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From 'going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 8 And the Lord said unto Satan, t*Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, 'a perfect and an uprigh man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said. Doth Job fear God for nought ? ^ 10 "Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side ? "thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his II substance is increased in the land. 1 1 'But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hadi, f and he will •'curse thee to thy face. 1 2 And tile Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy f power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. 13 T[And there was a day 'when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house : 14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feed- ing beside them: •G«i.8.2o. ch. 41. 8. /i Ktngt St. 10, 13. t Heb. a// Ik* days, #ch. 3.

AGAIN "there was a day when the sons of God caine to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present him- self before the Lord. 2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And *Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. . 3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou con- sidered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, 'a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he ^old- eth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, f'to destroy him without cause, 4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said. Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 5 •'^But nut forth thine hand now, and touch his 'bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. 377 yob curseth tkt day of his hirlh. 6 *And the Lord said unto Ssuan, Behold, he is in thine hand; ||but save his life. 7 ^So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote lob with sore boils 'from the sole of his foot unto his crown. 8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal ; *and he sat down among the ashes. 9 f Then said his wife unto him, 'Dost thou still "retain tiiinc integrity? curse God, and die. 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish wo.iien speaketh. What! "shall we re- ceive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil ? 'In all this did not Job ^sin with his lips. 1 1 TJNow when Job's three 'friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one irom his own place; HIiphaz the "Temanite, and Bildad the 'Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come 'to mourn with him, and to comfort him. 1 2 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mande, and "sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. 13 So they sat down with him upon the groui. 'seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great. CHAP. III. yd euruH the day anditrvicts of kit birth, AFTER this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. 2 And Job f spake, and said, 3 "Let the day perish wherein I was bom, and the night in which it was said.

CHAP. IX. Like things happen to good and bad. FOR all this f I considered in my heart even to declare all this, "that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all tliat is before them. 2 *A11 things come alike to all: tliere is one event to the righteous and to the wicked ; to the good, and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as lie that feareth an oath. 3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, ^2X there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 4 1[For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5 For the living know that they shall die: but 'the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward ; for ''thf, memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished ; neither have they any more a por- tion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 7 1[Go thy way, 'eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment 9 f Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: . . - . -tf - - Of wisdom, folly, riot, &c.

AND it came to pass in the days of 'Ahaz the son of jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rczin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Kemaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it. 2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria t is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind. 3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, '.and ||.Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the 'conduit of the upper pool in the II highway of the fuller's field; 4 And say unto him. Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, f neither be faint-hearted for the two tails of these smoking fire-brands, for the fierce anger of Rczin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliali. 5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Kema- liah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, 6 L(;t us go up against Judah, and ||vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, ei>cn the son of Tabeal : 7 Thus saith the Lord Gud, ''It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. 8 'For the head of Syria is Damascus, and tlu; head of Damascus is Rczin ; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, f that it, be not a people. 9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. '^||If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. 10 ^f Moreover, the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying, 1 1 ''Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ||ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. 1 2 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord. 13 And he said. Hear ye now, O house of David ; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign ; *Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear 'a son, and || shall call .'ms name Emmanuel. 1 5 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. 1 6 'For before the child shall Itnow to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou ab- horrest shall be forsaken of ""both her kings. 17 ^"The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that 'Ephraim de- parted from Judah; even the king of Assyria. 18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that 475 Comfort to them that fear God. thp L(iRi) 'shall hiss for the fly that is in the utter- most part of the riviTS of l^jj^yP'- •^"'^ '"'' ^^^ ^^ that is in the land of Assyria. 1 9 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the tiesolate valleys, and in 'the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all || bushes. 20 In the s;im(r day shall the Loril shave with a 'razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the kinj; of Assyria, the head, anti the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard. 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a younjj cow, and two sheep; 33 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall ^ive that he shall cat butter: for butter and honey shall everyone eat that is left fin the land. 2;j And it shall co'me to pass in that day, that every plac shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, 'it shall even be for briers and thorns. 24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns. 25 And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.

MOREOVER, the I^)ki) said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and "write in it with a man's pen concerning f Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to re- cord, 'Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. 3 And I f went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me. Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 4 'For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, ||''the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria. 5 ^The Lord spake also unto me again, saying, 6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of 'Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice •''in Rezin and Remaliah's son ; 7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, ei'cn 'the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks: 8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, *he shall reach even to the neck; and f the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O 'Immanuel. 9 ^* Associate yourselves, O ye people, ||and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 10 'Take counsel together and it sliall come to 479 ISAIAH.

IN the year that 'Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought agamst Ashdod, and took it; 2 At the same time spake the Lord f by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the 'sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, 'walking naked and barefoot. 3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years ''for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; 4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away f the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, 'even with tluir buttocks uncovered, to the f shame of Egypt. 5 ■''And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethi- opia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. 6 And the inhabitant of this || isle shall say, in that day. Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape? CHAP. XXI. The prophet invaileth the captivity of CocT t people, THE burden of the desert of the sea. As •whirl- winds in the south pass through ; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. 2 A t grievous vision is declared unto me; *The treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. 'Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Me- dia: all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. 3 Therefore ''are my loins filled with pain: 'pangs have »aken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at die hearing of it; I was dismayed at ^he seeing of it. 4 II My heart panted, fearfulnessaffrightedme:Ahe nightof my pleasure hath hef turned into fearuntome. 5 'Prepare the table, watch in the watch-tower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. 6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me. Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. 7 *And he saw a chariot with a couple of horse- men, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligendy with much heed: 8 And II he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand con- dnually upon the 'watch-tower in the day time, and I am set in my ward || whole nights. 9 And behold, here cometh a chariot of men wiih a couple of horsemen.

What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the house-tops? 2 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, 'a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle. 3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound •j-by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, whuh have fled from far. 4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; 'f I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people. 5 'For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity ''by the Lord God of hosts in the vallfey of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains. 6 'And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men am/ horsemen, and'^Kir f uncovered the shield. 7 And it shall come to pass, that f thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array ||at the gate. 8 T[And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour ^of the house of the forest. 9 *Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusa- lem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall. 1 1 'Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but ye have not looked unto*the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago. 1 2 And in that day did the Lord God of hosts 'call to weeping, and to mourning, and "to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: 13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: "let us eat and drink ; for to-morrow we shall die. 1 4 'And it was revealed in mine ears by the Lord of hosts.

Howl, ye ships of Tar- shish; for it is laid waste, so tliat there is no house, no entering in : 'from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. 2 Be f still, ye inhabitants of the isle ; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished. 3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue ; and 'she is a mart of nations. 4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon : for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, ncr bring up virgins. 5 'As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre. 6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle. 7 Is tliis your 'joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her f afar off to sojourn. 8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, Ahe crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? 9 The Lord of hosts Hath purposed it, f to stain 483 God's judgments for sin. the pride of all jjlory, and to bring into contempt all the lionourable of the earth. 10 I'ass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: Uure is no more f strength. 1 1 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the Lcjrd hath given a com- mandment II against f the merchant-«/y, to destroy the II strong holds thereof. 1 2 And he said, *Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughterofZidon: ai'se,*pass over to Chittim ; there also shalt thou have 10 rest 13 Hehold the land of the Chaldeans; t lis peo- ple was not, //// the Assyrian founded it for 'them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof, and he brought it to ruin. 14 *Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. 1 5 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years f shall Tyre sing as an harlot. 16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten ; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. 1 7 ^ And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and 'shall commit forni- cation with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 18 And her merchandise and her hire "shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up ; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for f durable clothing.

I first propose thiee dear examples given by Mmi; Secoadly, I place six instances of greater difficulty. The clearest examples are, I. The Altar of Incense. Only two sides nf it, f'/x. its length and breadth, are expressed hy Motet; each of them is aflinned to be one Cubit. Yet he declares it was fourequare : whence we collect, that it was just one square Cubit. %w Exad. xxx. s. Now it is demonstrated in the Appendix, that one ymtk sqtiaie Cubit amounts to in surface three En^/hk square Feet, and about 47 square Inches. II. The Table of Shcw-bread, Exoti. xxv. 33. It is nflirmed to be two Cubits in length, and one in breadth. None doubt but it was recUingtllar, containing tv'o yeviitk square Cubits. These amount to six English square Feet, and above hall, vim. 94 squai inches. III. The Boards of the 'f.ibernacle, each 10 Cubits iu length, and one and a-half in breadth, Exod. xxvi. 16, being rcctan^ilar, miwt contain 15 square Cubits, yeviitk. These are proved to contaia very near 50 square freet of Engtith Measure. The more difficult cases reserved to the Appendix are, I. The Mercy Scat, whose surface is = la square Feet and a half. II. Aecneral method is taught of reducing any given number of 7rwirA Cubits to fffj'/MAsquare Feet. III. The esamplc of the 15 square Cubits in the Boards of the Tabernacle is made clearer. IV.

Afoset in E.rod. xxv. 17, affimis, that \\% IciiKth was two Cubits and a h»ir, its breadth one Cubit and a half. The fractions adhering to its Icn^jih and breadth make some dilTiculty to beginners in Arithmetic, which the Decimal way doth much abate. Suppoi* ing therefore, what I have eUewhere proved, that the ynviik Cubit was in Foot measure 1.874; the length must he expressed in F 't measure, and Uccimnfs thereof, 4.^60. The breadth in like maasure will be 3.736. Wherefore the -.roduct of these numbers multiplied Intn each other gives its turfaca 13.47,616: in number of its sq..ar« Feet, nnd Decimiils ihcrenf, 13 square Feet, and very near half a square Koiecimals amount to ab"vc 130 square Inches; and little more than 13 square Inches would make it just 50 Feet, which abatement we need not her\. rccard. ^. Tke Court o/the Tabernacle. — 4. Let us now go to the measure of the surface of land. But wo will begin with the Court of the Tabcmncle, the Kround on whirh the Priests performed all the solemn public worship of Israel in Moses's time. The Area of this Court is described by Moses, ' Ejcod, xxv. 18, by its length 100 Cubits, and its breadth every where 50 Cubits. Wherefore this Area must be in Jewish measure 5000 sauare Cubits, for that is the product of too multiplied into 50. To reduce these 5000 yewisk Cubits into English square Feet, I must multiply 5000 into 3.336,976, ihu product is 16,634.88 English square Feet. But in ca.scs of such long numbers of Feet we use for brevity's sake, and to help our memories, to reduce them Into Perches, or Roods, or Acres, which contain known numbers ol sqiure Feet. A Perch contains "STiV^ sqtiare Feet. A Rood is = to 10,890 square Feet. An Acre is » t0 43,56osquara Feet. It is plain tnat the number 16,634.88 hath not InteRcrs equal to those of an Acre ; but It hath enough to answer those in a Rood, and some overplus, inerefoTe I must divide 16,634.88 by 10,890, which is a Rood six places, which is exact enough, 1 find the quote it> be 1.537,5.171 which assures me that my number 16,634.88 naih but once entirely in it a whole Rood : but it hath moreover in tt many Dccim By such division continued in the I>ecimal way, until I have a fraction of five or ' ly number . -, ^ ™«l parts of a Rood. These therefore I reduce to the Perches contained in them, by multiplying them Into 40^ which is the number of Perches that make up a Kuod : and cutting; off ^ix pUces frum the product, which is 21.101,480; so I find there are at Perches entire, and the figures after the Separatrtx are Decimals of a Perch. These .-ilso I multiply by 373.35, which are the .square Feel and Decimals of n Perch. The product of this last multiplication, after ei^ht places cut off fn^^m it by the Sepnratrix, because there were six phces of Decimals in one of the multmliers, and two in the other, u 37.63,793,000. lichee I learn that there are therein but 37 entire rcet, all the eight Decimal placet amount to little ob. be easier than the Con> mon way of reduction bv division, ana therefore I propose it to be used hv b:^inncrs in this practice of surveying. So I finu this Court to omtain in English measure 1 Rood, 31 Pt rches, 37 Feet, and litUe more than a half a Foot squared. But reflecting upon Mcses's measure by Cubits, and finding them to be precisely 5000 square Cubits, I observed that they were Just half 10,000, which I had observed from Herodotus' s Euterpe to be the Area of the Egyptian Aroura. by which their land was as generally measured, as ours is by Acres and Roods. See Hercdot. 1. a. c. 168. I called also to mincT a passage in Manetho an Egyptian Priest, cited by yosepkus in his first book against Apion. where he aftirms, that Manetho in his history of the reign, wars, and expulsion of the Pastors, 'whom ^ricanus affirms to be Vhitnicians, or Camtanitrs, and yosepkus vainly believed to be yews,) wrote out of the public Records of Egypt, that these Pastors made at Aborts a very la>ge and strong c.icampmcnt, th.^.t encompassed 10,000 WrtTwrir, sufficient to contaii. 340,000 men, and long maintain their cattle. Hence it appears, that not only the Egyptians, but the Fhernicians or Canatinites also, that had dwelt among them, and had reigned there during the time of six kings successively, used the mcasuie ofkuid called Aroura. Now this was long before Moses's (ime : lor the beginning of Amosisi^j Tethmosis. who expelled iheni out of Egypt, was very near the time of y]^ra£iw'/ death, as appears by the annals of the learned Primate o\ Ireland. Wherefore 1 believe that Moses, who was skilled in all Egyptian learning, especially sur^-eying, did of choice make the Court of the Talwmacle to Ik just half an Aroura, which was a known measure to him and his people, who had long dwelt in Egypt, and Divine Authority directed him so to do, 5. The deduction of an Aroura to English measures. -^j. Because we have shewn from t/erodotmt, that an Aroura is the square of ino ynvish or Egyptian Cubits, and 100 such Cubits, may in Eng^ lisk Foot measure be expressed by 182.4 Englisn Feet, it follows, that the square of this number will express exactly the number of the Enrlish square Feet that are contained in an Aromra. Now by multiplication of 183.4 into itself, I find the product to be 3^,769.76 : Therefore I conclude that there are 33,269 square F!et eiiiire, and .76 Decimals of a square Foot, in an Aroura. Now to reduce these English square Feet into Roods, Perches, and the remainder of square Feel, I use the method used in the last paragraph : First, I divide them by 10,890, the square Feet in ft Rood; and the quote I find 3.055,084, thnt is 3 Roods, and .055,084 Decimals of a Rood. Secondly, 1 mul- tiply those Decimals by 40, which is the number of Perches in a Rood ; the product Is 3.202,960. and the quote I find 3.055,084, thnt is 3 Roods, and .055,084 Decimals of a RQK>d. Secondly, 1 mul- tiply those Decimals by 40, which is the number of Perches in a Rood ; the product Is a. 202,960. Hence I conclude there are therein a Perches, and ."o-',96o Decimals of a Perch. Thirdly, I multiply these last Decimals by 273.95, which are the i- --- 6. Th* /.rvit*^ G/tf^, — 6.

But we mum not thence iiiu(ine that it awuu hntite* and ttreeta ftdjoininx in thrir cities, in which sense we sometimes use the word suburbs. For Moitt plainly tells ui they were places for their several turu uf cattle to feed in, such as might also be nrcharda or gardens for fruit, nr perhaps for a little com, comprehended In the wnrdi /AnV/owA. Thrse fields lie limits by r<«o Cubiu, which was juit a quarter '/an ea.<(terii mile, but amounu in mere I'-ntfth to 6rt8 ytrAt Kmgiiik measure, and therefore eacceds a qu.irltr of an KmfUik mWc by i6dy,trds in length. Rut it is certain that cattle cannot feed upj surface, unless we understand it tu mean the two ^ides of a s<|uare, bounded on every side by i.ioo Cubits : these two sides multiplied into each other will produce a vjuare that cimtains just a million of square Cubits, and that is a known and exact incasiir* of Just nn ArMr0 : and ihis shews that the aoou Cubits mentioned ver. j, are the two side! of that square, whereof the 1000 mentioned ver. 4, is one, and may lie called the root of th« M^uare. 'I'liis shews the agreement of the two different numbers. The reduction of thia million of square Cubiu will be performed by the same method that 1 have uaad before. Therefore, first, I uprcH looo >wuA CuMls by 1814 Engliih Feet, without any Reparalria, acconling to the principlea aned li IVrf ArithlMtic; and the square of that number will be J,3a6,97«, without a Scparalria. Secoadh 1?^ thia number by 43,S4l6, which provea that there iabut one .' 'id in them, and the ii« figures cut off bv ihTitlr ratria (because there were sii Decimals In one v"'he Mulliplkrs) are all DecimiU of r«!J!i Fourthly, therefore, to find what Perches are In these ... ' iccimals, I multiply ihen br so lUA^ every other square on each side of every Levitical City, was prescribed to be 76 Acres 1 Rood Perchea, 8a square Feel in oui. measure, but was just « million of square Cubiti in their'nau~' '° To add the four squares belonging lu one LmUcal Cily together, the best way will be to taki ili. first quote that wc found in Acre measure, vit. 7<. 376,859, and we must multiply it by fotir mi^ shall find, by the method 1 have used, all the four sqture* together to amount to 305 Acres a BooI° 1 Perch ; we need not take notice of any lesser quantities In this case. We may also by tk'b SKtWi find the sum of the Acres belonging to all the 48 cities of the iltf«tfrr,and many other Mamaatatt in Ihis kind of measuring surlacies.

PALKSTINE U bounded on the north by mount Libaniis, or Lebanon, which Kp«rate« it from that Wirt of Syria, anciently called Phoenicia ; on the ea.it by mount Hermon, which divides it from Arabia Deteru ; on the toutb by Arabia Petrca ; and un the weit by the Mediterranean sea, or sea of Syria. , . , '\'\\\\ cciuntry received the nane of Palestine from the PhilisiineA. ^ho dwelt on the sea*coatt : it wa« called luilea, frum judalt: and it ii termed the Hi.Iy Land, heing the coim try where Jesu-s Chritt was born, preached his holy doctrines, confirmed thfm by miracles, and laid down his life for mankind. Palestine is about one hunilred and eighty-five niilei in length, and generally eighty in breadth: it is situated between 31° and ^^° 40' north fetittide. The dimatc uf Palestine is, during a great part of the vcar, very hot. The easterly winds are usually dry, thnugh they are sometimes tempestuous ; and those which are westerly are attended with rain. The heat here n-.ight be expected to be excessive : yet mount Libanua, from its uncom- mon height, is covered »\\ the winter with snow. The Ant rains, at they are called, generally fall about the beginning of November; and the latter rains, in the month of April. In the country round ^rusalem, if a moderate ijuantity of snow falb in the banning of February, and the brooks soon after overflow their banks, it is thought to forebode a fruitfuiyear : and the inhabiuntt make rejoicings upon this occasion, as the Egyptians do with petpcct to the Nile : this country is seldom refreshed with rain during the summer season. The rocks of judea are, in many places, covered with n soft chnlky substance, in which is eiKlosed a great variety of tliells and corals. The sreatcst part of the mounuins ofCarmel, and those of Jeru> salem and ncthlchem, arc overspread with a white chalky stratum. In mount Carmcl are gathered many stones, which, being in the form of olives, melons, peaches, and other fruit, an: imposed upon pilurim*, not only as those fruits petrified, but as antidotes ngainst sevcml di«e.-ises. With respect tu the riven ol the country, the Jordan, called bv the Ar.-t))s Sceri.ih, is not only the able, but, next to the Nile, is the largest, cithci in the l/:vant or in Harbary. It has its ■lost considerable, source at the bottom >f mount l..il>anus or Lebanon, and is formed from the waters of two fountains. which are abrut a mile distant fromeuch other. Oneofihem lies to the east, and is called Tor; the other, which is exposed to the south, is named Dan. The confluence of the two streams is found near the ancient city n, the Jazer, the Jacob, and the Carith. After l>eing ausmcnted by these streams, inacourseofsixty-nve miles from the lake of Tiberias, or sea of Galilee, it discharges it«elf into the Dead sea. The Jordan, in the rainy seasons, overflows its banks to the distance of more than four miles ; and, on account of the inequality of the Enind, forms two or three channels. Its current is extremely rapid, and the water always muddy : t when taken from the river, and put into any kind of vessel, it very soon clarifies, and is sweet. The Dead Sea is a nam« of modem date ; the ancienu call it the lake of Asphaltites, the sea of Sodom, the Salt sea, the lake of SirlKin ; the Arabs name It Hahheret*Lut: that is, the sea of Lot. It Is about fifty mites in length, and ten in breadth. The lofty mountains of the country of the Moabites are on the eastern side, and disch.irge into it the waters of Amon and the Jaret. On the west and south it is bounded bv very high mountains also. It is likewise on the wettt that the brook Cedron, which rises at Jcnis.ilcm, empties Into this sea. We are informed that this vast take was covered formerly with fruit trees and abundaiu crops, and that from the bofiam of the earth, now buried under iu waters, arose the superb cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and .>cgor. No plants of any kind grow In this lake. The bottom of it to black, thick, and ffctid. Branches of trees which (all therein become petrified in a little time. The Dead sea produces akind of bitumen, which may be found fioatiiU| on the sur&ce, like large lumps of earth This bitumen is a siilphurmu substance, mixed with salt; it is as brittle as Mack pitch, lb combustiUe, and exhales, white burning, a strong and penetrating smell. The ancient Arabs used it for smearing and emb^ilming their de;td, to preserve them from perishing. The mountains near this sua produce a kind uf black stone, which, when polished, has a beautifiu liutre. Acra, or Acre, (.now called St. John de Acre, and which the Arabs call Accho, or Akka,)is one of the places from which the Israelites could not exp:l thn ancient Canaanites, and wa.; formeriy reckoned among the ancient cities of Phoenicic. It is also known by the name of Ptolemais. The Mtuation is advantafieoiis : on the north and cast it is encompas.sed by a fertile plain ; on the west it is washed by the Mediterranean; and on the souUi by a large bay, which extentto from the city as far as mount Carmel. It contains little more than a few cottages, nnd heaps of ruins. The residence of the faaahaw of the province is at this place. To the south of Acre ts Scbasta, the ancient Samaria, the capiul of the ten tribes after their revolt from the house of David. It is seatcv* on a long motmt. which rises in a fruitful valley, and is now convened Into gardens. A little Cirther to the south is Naplosa. the ancient Sychcm, which stands in a narrow valley, between mount Ebal on the north attd Geririm on the sotnh. At a small dtotancc fivm Naplosa tt Jacob's well, fiunotis for Christ's Gonference with tlw wonian of Samaria. Jerusalem Is encompassed with hills, so that the city seems as if situated in an saiptiitbtttR' there arc few icmains of the city as it appeared in Christ's time ; the bituation being chaaxcd hi mount Sion, the highest part of ancient Jcniiialem, is almost excluded; while the placci sdjoininit to mi unt Calvary arc nearly in the centre. This city, which is about three miles in cin:u)nlciciKe is situated on a rocky mountain, on all sides of which are stcei' ascents, except toward the scnh' The walls are no» strong, nor have they any bastions. The city has six gates. There ait rappoied to be about twelve or foirtccn thousand inhabitants in Jenisalem. Jasa, the ancient Joppa, is the port where the pilgrims disembark. They gcnerslly strive u November, and repair without delay to Jerusalem. Bethlehem, also called EphraU, and the city of David, is famous for being the blnh'pUcc of Christ. It is about two miles to the S. £. of Jerusalem, on the ridge of a hiU; at present otilTin inconsiderable place. Raha. the ancient Jericho, is eighteen miles N. E. of Jerusalem, situated In a plain six or ktco leagues long, by three wide, surrounded by a number of barren mountains. Habroun, or Hebron, is twenty-four miles S. of Bethlehem. The Arabs call it EUKahil.ihevtlt- beloved. It is situated at the foot of an eminence, on which are some remains of an ancicst rttitt. Nasarcth^ now o:Jy a small village, is on the top of a high hill. Cana of Galilee, otherwise called Cana Minor, celebrated fur the miracle wrought by Chrif^of changing the water 'nto wine. If nothin|t more than a small \illagc, with very few inhibitanu. Siaon, called bv the Turks Sa^d, is situated on the sea-coast. It was anciently a place of snat strength, and had a very e xtcnsive commerce. Though it is still populous, and a plsice of conndcr- able trade, it has fallen from its ancient grandeur. Its exports consist in silks, with raw lod ipua cotton; the manufacturinc of which employs most of the inhabitants, amounting to about are thousand. The cily is defended by an old ca.stle, built in the sea. Tvre, called by the Turks Sour, is about twenty miles to the south of Sidon. It wsi once very celebrated fur its purple, called the Tynan dye, produced from a shell-fish. This dtv «u, in ancient times, the centre of an immense commerce and navigation, and the nurse of arts tDdKioKe. The ancient city stood, orielnally, on an islat.d. Joined to the main land by a mole; the rcnuin of which appear at present. It has two harbours ; that on the north side is very good ; but the othtr is choked up with rtiins. The present inhabitants are only a few poor fishermen, who live In vatilu and caves. Cesarea was at first called Strabo's Tower ; and was the capital of Palestine. TUi city wu divided into two parts by a little hill, whereon was erected a temple dedicated to Cesar. Jericho is situated In a large plain, about twenty miles long, and ten broad, bounded by a nrictjr of^motmtaitts on the south-west, the west, and north ; it is at present inhabited by a fcw niienbl: Arabs. The Mount of Forty Days is situated on the north side of the plain of Jericho : the lumiui ii covered neither with shrubs, trees, nnr earth, but consists of a solid mass of white marble; it b very difficult and dangerous to ascend, the path tending by a winding course, between two dismal abyuci. This mountain is one of the highest in the province, ^nd one of its most sacred places. It tsko iu name from the rigorous fast which Christ ooscrved here. From this mount may be seen the hilli cf Arabia, the country of Gilead, the country of the Ammonites, the plains of'^Moab, and thai cf Jericho, the river Jordan, and the whole extent of the Dead sea. Opposite to Jericho, beyond Jordan, rises Mount Nebo. Mount Carmel, on the south side of the bav of Acre, projects at one part into the ics, foirwM% 1 great promontory, called the point of Carmel. There are a number of grottos, gardem, sod con- vents on this mount ; as also many cistenu for receiving the rain-water. On this mounuin wu a fortress called Ecbatane. Mount Tabur is most delightfully situ.ited, rising amidst the pUIns of Galilee, distant sbout twdve miles from the city of Tibenas ; it is distinguished by diffierent names, as Itabyrion, TaburitaB, and by the Arabs Gibcl-cl-Tor, It is in appearance like a sugar-loaf, and u covered from die top to the bottom with small trees. Palestine, which comprehends the ancient country of Canaan, and was ocaipied by nine tnlm of Israel, has experienced many and severe revolutions ; the extreme fertility of the countty, and in many advantages and happy situation, induced the neighbouring and powerful kingdoms to attempt its subjection ; most of tncm succeeded in reducing to obedience and slavery the peaceable inhabit- ants : the Persians. Saracens, Syrians, and Romans have altenutely been masien for i time, and then obliged to yield to superior force; they treated the conquered with the utmost barbarity, ana committra the greatest devastation and slaughter ; not even sparing old or young, women o'^P"* children. Thus it continued changinr its ferocious masters, until. In the twelfth century, the Turn taking Cesarea, the whole country fell into their possession; and has com'nued under their powr ever since. The innumerable scenes of blood and desolation exhibited In this country hare changed it from that happy, fruitful, and pmsperous state, so beautifullv described in Deuteronomv, to an almost uninhabited desert, and heap of ruins: few traces of tU ancient splendour remain; ami confusion and doubt hang over all the researches of the inquirer. > n t- The present masters exercise unlimited and tyrannical authority over their '"'*• '""^^ rine, keeping the miserable inhabiunts in the utmost subjection; governing them by Canpu and Bashaws, with rods of iron ; and holding them in the most deplorable ignorance sod stfcr- stition. 9 A bone of him sha I GRANDMOTHER, a Grandfather's wife, 3 Wife's Gtetitiimother, 4 Father's sister, 5 Mother's sister, 6 Father's brother's wife, {Mother's brother's wife.

A ND Josias held the *feast of the passover in Jerusalem A unto his Lord, and offered the passover the fourteenth day of the iii'st month ; I Having set the priests according to their daily courses, being anayed in long garments, in the temple of the Lord. I And he ^tpake unto the Levites, the holy ministers of Israel that they should hallow themselves unto the Lord, to ict the holy ark of the Lord in the house tliat king Solomon the wn of David had built : nAndtaU. Yeshall no more bear thearkupon your shoulders: now therefore serve the Lord your God, and minister unto his wople toel, and prepare you after your families and kindreds, ' 5 According a» David the king of Israel prescribed, and according to the i..agnificence of Solomon his son : and stand- ing in the temple according to the several dignities of the iamilies of you the Levites, who minister in the presence of yb.j brediren the children of Israel, 6 Offer the passover in order, and make ready the sacrifices for your brethren, and keep the passover according to the com- nuudment of the Lord, which was given unto Moses. 7 And unto the people that was found there Josias gave thirty thousand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves : these things were given of the king's allowance, according as be promised to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. 8 And Helkias, Zacharias, and || Syelus, the governors of the temple, gave to the priests for the passover two thousand and six hundred sheep, and three hundred calves. 9 And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael his brother, and Aasabias. and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over thousands, gave to the Levites for the passover five thousand sheep, and II seven hundred calves. 10 And when these things were done, the priests and Le- vites having the unleavened bread, stood in very comely order according to the kindreds, II And according to the several dignities of the fathers be- fcre the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moset: *and thus did they in the morning. 12 And they roasted the passover with fire, as appertaineth : II for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots, and pans, II with a good savour, 13 And set them before all the people : and afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests their brethren, the ions of Aaron. 14 For the priests offered the fat until night : and the Le- vites prepared for themselves, and the priests their brethren, the sons of Aaron. 15 The holy singers iilso, the sons of Asaph, were in their order, according to the appointment 'of David, to wit, Asaph, Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was *of the king's retinue. 16 Moreover, the porters were at every gate ; it wa? not lawful for any to go from his ordinary service ; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 17 Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices f the liord accomplished in that day,that they might hold the passover, 18 And offer sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, according to Ihi commandment of king Josias. ?9 So the children of Israel which were present held the f****' at that tine, and the feast of sweet bmd seven days. , w And such a passover was not kept in Israel since the tWe of the prophet Samuel. 41 CHRIST cif. 6j|. a 21. ron, 3S. 1.

What have I to do with thee, O king of Judea? 37 I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee ; for my war is upon Euphrates : and now the Lord is with me, yea, the Lord is with me hasting me forward : depart from me, and be not against the Lord. 38 Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy, spoken by the mouth of the Lord : 39 But joined battle with him in the plain of Megiddo, and the princes came against king Josias. 30 Then said the king unto his servants. Carry me away out of the battle ; for I am very weak. And immediately his servants took him away out of the battle. 31 Then gat he up upon his second chariot; and being brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his father's sepulchre. 33 And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him unto this day : and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel. 33 These things are written in the book of the stories of the kings of Judah, and every one of the acts that Josias did, and his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord, and the things that he had done before, and the things now recited, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judea. 34 'And the people took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of Josias his father, when he was twenty and three years old. 35 And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem three months: and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem. 36 And he set a tax upon the land of a hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold. 37 The king of Egypt also made king Joacim his brother king of Judea and Jerusalem. 1 1 38 And he bound Joacim and the nobles : but Zaraces his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt. 39 Five and twenty years old was 'Joacim when he was made king in the land of Judea and Jerusalem; and he did evil before the Lord. 40 Wherefore against him Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came up, and bound him mth a chain of brass, and carried \\\vn into Babylon. 41 (Nabuchodonosor also took of the holy vessels of the Lord, and carried them away, and set them in his own temple at Babylon.) 43 But those things that are recorded of him, and of his un< cleanness and impiety, are written in the chronidesof the kings. 1 Apocrypha. I. ESDRAS. 43 And Joacim his ion reigned in nis stead : he was made king beinff cighteon years old ; 44 And reigned but three months and ten days in Jenisa- lem, and did evil before the Lord. 45 So after a year Nabuchodonosor sent and caused him to be brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord. 46 And made Zedechias king of Judea and Jerusalem, when he was one and twent v years old ; and he reigned eleven years : 47 And he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and cared not for the words that were s|x>ken unto him by the prophet Jeremy from the mouth of the Ix)rd. 48 And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he foreswore himself and re- belled, and hardening his neck and his heart, he transgressed the laws of the Lord God of Israel. 49 The governors also of the people and of the priests did many thin^i against the laws, and passed all the pollutions of all nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, which was sanctified in Jerusalem. 50 Nevertheless, the God of their fathers sent by his mes senger to call them back, because he spared them and his tabernacle also. 5 1 But they had his messengers in derision ; and look, when the Lord spake unto them, they made a sport of his prophets : Sa So far forth, that he, being wroth with his people for their great ungodliness, commanded the kings of the Chaldees to come up against them ; 53 Who slew their young mjn with the sword, yea, even within the compass of their holy temple, and s,iared neither young man nor maid, old man nor child, among them ; for he delivered all into their hands. 54 And they took all the holy vessels of the I^rd, both great and small, with the vessels of the ark of God, and the king's treasures, and carried them away into Babylon. 55 As for the house of the Lord, they burnt it, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem, and set fire upon her towers : 56 And as for her glorious things, they never ceased till they had consumed and brought them all to nought : and the people that were not slain with the sword, he carried unto Babylon : 57 Who became servants to him and his children, till the Persians reigned, to fulfil the ^vord of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremy : 58 Until the land had enjoyed h?rsabbaths,the whole time of her desolation shall she ||rest,until the full term of seventy years.

IN the ■first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord might be accomplished, that he had promised by the mouth of Jeremy ; 1 The Lord raised up the spirit of Cyrus the king of the Persians, and he made proclamation through all his kingdom, and also by writing, ' 3 Saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians ; The Lord of Israel, the most high Lord, hath mademe king of the whole world, 4 And commanded me to build him a house at Jerusalem in Jewry. 5 If therefore there be any of you that are of his people, let the Lord, even his Lord, be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel: for ||he is the Lord that dwelleth in Jerusalem. 6 Whosoever then dwell in the places about, let them help him (those I say that are his neighbours) with gold, and with silver, 7 With gifts with horses, and with cattle, and other things, which have been set forth by vow, for the temple of the Lord at Jerusalem. 8 ^Then the chief of the families of Judea and of the tribe of Benjamin stood up : the priests also and the Levites, and all they whose mind the Lord had moved to go up, and to build a house for the Lord at Jerusalem. 9 And they that dwelt round about them, and helped them in all things with silver and gold, with f horses and cattle, and with very many free gifts of a great number whose minds were stirred up thereto. 10 King Cynis also brought forth the holy vessels which Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem, and had let ap in his temple of idols. % CHRIST ^•W»- 59*. dr. sU. *Jct.js.io. & •9. 10.

NOW when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto ^l his subjects, and unto all his household, and unto ali the princes of Media and Persia, a And to all the governors, and captains, and lieutenant that were under him, from India unto Ethiopia, of a hundred twenty and seven provinces. 3 And when they had eaten and drunken, and being »f«- fied were gone home, then Darius the king went into his bed- chamber, and slept, and soon after awaked. 4 Then three young men that were of the guard, that kept the king's body, spake one to another ; 5 Let every one of us speak a sentence : he that shall over- o further to the ^poaypha. come and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great thinp in token of victory : 6 As, to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, and to sleep upon gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and a head-tire offine linen, and a chain about his neck : 7 And he shall sit next to Darius, because of his wisdom, and shall be called Darius his cousin. 8 And then every one wrote his sentence, sealed it, and laid it under king Darius his pillow, a And said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the irritings ; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Penia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him ihall the victory be given, as was appointed ; 10 The first wrote. Wine is the strongest. 11 The second wrote. The king is the strongest. . n The third wrote. Women are strongest : But above all things truth beareth away the victory. I] Now when the king was risen up, they took their writings and delivered them unto him, and so he read them : 14 And sending forth he called all the princes of Persia and Media, and the governors, and the captains, and the lieu- tenants, and the chief officers ; ■5 And fet him down in the || royal seat of judgment ; and the writings were read before them. i6 And he said. Call the young men, and they shall declare their own sentences. So they were called, and came in. 17 And he said unto them, Declare unto us your mind con- cerning the writings. Then began the first, who had spoken of the strength of wine ; 18 And he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong is wine 1 it causeth all men to err that drink it : 19 It maketh the mind of the king and of the fatherless child, to be all one : of the bondman and of the free man, of the poor man, and of the rich : 20 It turneth also every thought into jollity and mirth, so that a man remembereth neither sorrow nor debt : II And it maketh every heart rich, so that a man remem- bereth neither king nor governor ; and it mcJceth to speak all things by talents: » And when they are in their cups, they forget their love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords : 13 But when they are from the wine, they remember not what they have done. 24 ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth to do thus? And when he had so spoken, he held his peace. CHAP. IV.

THEN the second, that had spoken of the strength of the king, began to say, 2 ye men, do not men excel in strength, that || bear rule over sea and land, and all things in them? 3 But yet the king is more mighty : for he is lord of all these things, and hath dominion over them ; and whatsoever he commandeth them they do. 4 If he bid them make war the one against the other, they do it ; if he send them out against the enemies, they go, and break down mountains, walls, and towers. 5 They slay and are slain, and transgress not the king's commandment : if they get the victory, they bring all to the king, as well the spoil, as all things else. 6 Likewise for those that are no soldiers and have not to do with wars, but use husbandry, when they have reaped again that which they had sown, they J)ring it to the king, ond compel one another to pay tribute unto the king. 7 And yet he is but one man : if he command to kill, they kill J if he command to spare, they spare ; 8 If he command to smite, they smite; if he command to make de8olate,theymakedesolate; ifhecommandtobuild,theybuild; 9 If he command to cut down, they cut down ; if he com- mand to plant, they plant. 10 So all his people and his armies obey him : furthermore M Ueth down, he eateth and drinketh, and Uketh his rest : ti And these keep watch round about him, neither || may My one depart, and do his own busing, neither disobey they wm in anything.

And he held his tongue. 13 \ Then the third, who had s|>oken of women, and of the truth, (this was Zurobabel) began to siieok. 14 O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multitude of men, neither is it wine that fexcelleth: who is it then that ru- leth them, or hath the lordshipover them? are they not women? 15 Women have born the king and all the people that bcnr rule by sea and land. 16 Even of them come they : and they nourished them up that planted the vineyards from whence th*: wine cometh. 1 7 These also make garments for men ; these bring glory unto men ; and without women cannot men be. 18 Yea, and if men have gathered together gold and silver, or any other goodly thing, do they not love a woman which is comely in favour and beauty ? 19 And letting all those things go, do they not gape, and even with open mouth fix their eyes fast on her ; and have not all men more desire unto her than unto s'.lver or gold, or any goodly thing whatsoever? ao A man leaveth his own father that hrouf.ht him up, and his own country, and cleaveth unto his ^i''.. a I He sticketh not to spend his life with his wife, and re- membereth neither father, nor mother, nor country. a a By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you : do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the women ? a3 Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and u|x>n rivers ; a4 And li oketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness ; and when he hath olen,spoiled,and robbed,he bringeth it tohis love. 35 Whereforcamanloveth his wife better than father or mother. a6 Yea, many there be that have |j run out of their wits for women, and become servants for their sakes. a7 Many also have perished, have erred.and sinned,for women. a8 And now do ye not believe me ? is not the king great in his power? do not all regions fear to touch him ? 29 Yet did I see him and Apame the king's concubine, the daughter of the admirable || Bartacus, sitting at the right hand of the king, 30 And talcing the crown from the king's head, and setting it upon her own head ; she also struck the king with her left hand. 31 And yet || for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her with open mouth ; if she laughed upon him, he laughed also ; but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to flatter, that she might || be reconciled to him again. 3a O ye men, how con it be but women should be strong, seeing they do thus? 33 Then the king and the princes looked one upon another : so he began to speak of the truth. 34 O ye men, are not women strong ? great is the earth, high is the heaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he com- passeth the heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again to his own place in one day. 35 Is he not great that maketh these things? therefore great is the truth, and stronger than all things. 36 All the earth || calleth upon the truth, and the heaven blesseth it ; all works shake and tremble at it, and with it is no unrighteous thing. 37 Wine is wicked, the king is wicked, women are wicked, all the children of men are wicked, and such are all their wicked works \ and there is no truth in them ; in their un- righteousness also they shall perish. 38 As for the truth, it endureth, and if always strong ; it liveth and conquereth forevermore. 39 With her there is no accepting of persons or rewards ; but she doeth the things that are just, and refraineth from all un- just and wicked things ; and all men do well like of her works. 40 Neither in her juc'gment is any unrighteousness ; and she is the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty of all ages. Blessed be the God of iruth. 41 And with that he '.leld his peace. And all the people then shouted, and said. Great is truth, and mighty above all things. 4a Then said the kii\g unto him. Ask what thou wilt more than is appointed in the writing, and we will ^ive it thee, be- cause thou art found wisest ; and thou shalt sit next me, and shalt be called my cousin. 43 Then said he unto the kirii;, Remember thy vow, which Apocrypha. I. ESDRAS. thou hut vowed to build Jeruialem, in the day when thou ctmetl to thy kingdom, 44 And to tend away all the vessels that were taken away out of Jerusalem, which Cyrus set a[Mrt, when he vowed to destroy Babylon, and to send them again thither. 45 'I'liou also haat vowed to build up the temple, which the Edomi tea li'irned, when ludea was made desolate by t'te Chaldees. 46 And now, O lord the king, this is that which I re<|uire, and which I desire of thee, andthis is the princely liberality proceeding from thyself: I desire therefore that thou make good the vow, the performance whereof with thine own mouth thou hast vowed to the King of heaven. 47 Then Uarius the king stood up and kissed him, and wrote letters for him unto all the treasurers, and lieutenants, and cap- tains, and governors, that they should safely convey on their way both him, and all those that go up with him to build Jerusalem. 48 He wrote letters also unto the lieutenants that were in Celosyria, and Fhenice, and unto them in Libanus, that they should bring cedar wood from Libanus unto Jerusalem, and that they should build the city with him. 49 Moreov. - he wrote for all the Jews that went out of his realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that no officer, no ruler, no lieutenant, nor || treasurer, should forcibly enter into their doors ; 50 And that all the country which they hold should be free without tribute ; and that the Edomites should give over the villages of the Jews which then they held : 51 Yea, that there should be yearly given twenty talents to the building of the temple, until the time that it were built ; 5a And other ten talents yearly, to maintain the burnt- ofTerings upon the altar every day, as they had a command- ment to offer seventeen : 53 And that all they that went from Babylon to build the city should have free liberty, as well they as their posterity, and all the priests that went away. 54 He wrote also concerning the charges, and the priests' Vestments wherein they minister ; 55 And likewise for the charges of the Levitcs, to be given them, until the day that the house were finished, and Jerusalem buildcd up. 56 And he commanded to give to all that kept the city II pensions and wages. 57 He sent away also all the vessels from Babylon, that Cyrus had set apart ; and all that Cyrus had given in commandment, the same charged he also to be done, and sent unto Jerusalem. 58 Now when this young man was gone forth he lifted up his face to heaven, toward Jerusalem, and praised the King of heaven, 59 And said, From thee cometh victory, from thee cometh wisdom, and thine is the glory, and I am thy servant. 60 Blessed art thou, who hast given me wisdom ; for to thee I give thanks, O Lord of our fathers. 61 And so he took the letters, and went out, and came unto Babylon, and told it all his brethren. 6a And they praised the God of their fathers, because he had given them freedom and liberty 63 To go up, and to build Jerusalem, and the temple which is called by his name : and they feasted with instruments of music and gladness seven days.

It is not for us and you to build to- gether a house unto the Lord our God : 71 We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, ac- cording as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commander, us. 7a But the heathen of the land lying heavy uiion the inhabit- ants of Judca,and holding them strait, hindered their 'juilding ; 73 And by their secret plots, and poiwlar persuasions and commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building all the time th.it king Cyrus lived ; so they were hindered from build- ing for the space of two years, || until the reign of Darius.

Levites, who had received the silver, and the oOld, and the vessels, brought them unto Jeru- salem into the tcmnl'* of the Lord. 61 And from t— river Theras we departed the twelfth day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem by the mighty hand of our Lord which was with us ; and from the || beginning of our journey the Lord delivered us from every enemy, and so we came to Jerusalem. 6a And when we had been there three days, the gold and silver that was weighed, was delivered in the house of our Lon*. on the fourth day || unto Marmoth the priest the son of Iri. 63 And with him was Elcazar the son of Phinees, and with them were Josabad the son of Jesu, and || Moeth the son of Sabban, Levites . all was delivered them by number and weight. 64 And all the weight of them was written up the same hour. 65 Moreover, they that were come out of the captivity offered sacrifice unto the Lord God of Israel, even twelve bullocks for all Israel, fourscore and sixteen rams, 66 f Threescore and twelve lambs, goats for a peace-offering, twelve ; all of them a sacrifice tc the Lord. 67 And they delivered the king's commandments unto the king's stewards, and to the governors of Celosyria and Phe- nice ; and they honoured the people and the temple of God. 68 Now when these things were done, the rulers came unto me, and said, 69 The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests, and Le- ^^7"^' Apocrypha.

THUS .saith the Lord, I brought this people out of bondage, and I gave them my commandments by my servants the prophets : whom they would not hear, but despised my counsels. 3 The mother that bare them, saith unto them. Go your way, ye children ; for I am a widow and forsaken. 3 I brought you up with gladness; but with sorrow and heaviness have I lost you : for ye have sinned before the Lord your God, and done that thing that is evil before him. 4 But what shall I now do unto you ? I am a widow and for- saken : go your way, O my children, and ask mercy of the Lord. 5 As for me, O father, I call upon thee for a witness over the mother of these children, which would not keep my covenant, 6 That thou bring them to confusion, and their mother to a spoil, that there may be no offspring of them. 7 Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let their names be put out of the earth : for they have despised my II covenant. 8 Woe be unto thee, Assur, thou that hidest the unrighteous in thee ! O thou wicked people, remember ■what I did unto Sodom and Gomorrah ; 9 Whose land lieth in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes : even so also will I do unto them that hear me not, saith the Almighty Lord. 10 Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people, that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given unto Israel. 11 Their glory also will I take unto me, and give these the everlasting tabernacles, which I had prepared for them. II They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savour ; they shall neither labour, nor be weary. 13 Go, and ye slull receive: pray for few days unto you, that they may be shortened : the kingdom is already prepared for you : watch. 14 Take heaven and earth to witness ; for I have broken the evil in pieces, and created the good ; for I live, saith the Lord. 15 Mother, embrace thy children, and || bring them up with gladness, make their feet as fast as a pillar; for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord. 16 And those that be dead will I raise np again from their places, and bring them out of the graves : for I have || known my name in Israel. 1 7 Fear not, thou mother of the children : for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord. 18 For thy help will I send my servants, Esay and Jeremy, after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for thee twelve trees laden with divers fruits, 19 And as many fountains flowing with milk and hciey, and seven mighty mountains, whereupon there grow roses and lilies, whereby I will fill thy children with joy. >o Do right to the widow, judge for the fatherless, give to the poor, defend the orphan, clothe the naked, at Heal the broken and the weak, laugh not a lame man to scorn, defend the maimed, and let the blind man come into the signt of my clearness. 10 'UaLi.1 I Or, men/, or, oath. •Gen. 19. •4- >T«Wli. tmrytitm. |Or. friacK XO'.M. tut. , C0ncimat. «Rev. 7.9.

Look for your Shepherd, he shall give you everlasting rest ; for he is nigh at hand, that shall conic in the end of the world. 35 Be ready to the reward of the kingdom, for the everlast- ing light shall shine upon you for evermore. 36 Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulnessof your glory : I testify my Saviour o|)enly. 37 O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath called you to the heavenly kingdom. 38 Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed || in the feast of the Lord ; 39 Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of the Lord. 40 Take thy number, O Sion, and f shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord. 41 The number of thy children whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled : beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed. 43 *I Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great people, whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs. 43 And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature, teller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted ; which I marvelled at greatly. 44 So I asked the angel, and said, || Sir, what are these? 45 He answered and said unto me. These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God : now arc they crowned, and ^^ ceive palms. 46 Then said I unto the angel. What jroung person is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands? 47 So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord, 48 Then the angei said unto me. Go thy way, and tell my people what manner of things, and how great wonders of the Lord thy God thou hast seen. CHAP. III.

IN the thirtieth year after the ruin of the city, I was m Babylon, and lay troubled upon my bed, and my thoughts came up over my heart : 3 For I saw the.desolation of Sion, and the wealth of them that dwelt at Babvlon. . 3 And my spint was lore moved, so that I bega.** to spea words (ull of fear to the Most High, and said, 4 O Lord who barest r le, thou spakest at the begin""* when thou didst plant tL., earth (and that thyself slone) nA commandedst the people, Apttrypka. t •And gavest a body unto Adam without soul which was the •orkmaiuhip of thy hands, and didst breathe into him the breatli of life, and he was made living before thee. i And thou leddest him into paradise, which thy right hand had planted, before ever the earth came forward, I And unto him thou gavest commandment to love thy way : which he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedst death in him and in his generations, of whom came nations, tribes, people, and kindreds, out of number. 8 *And every people walked after their own will, and did wonderful things before thee, and despised thy commandments. 'And again in process of time thou broughtest the flood upon those that dwelt in the world, and destroyedst them. 10 And it came to pass in every of them, that as death was to Adam, so was the flood to these. II Nevertheless, one of them thou leftest, namely, 'Noah with his household, of whom came all righteous men. 12 And it happened that when they that dwelt upon the earth began to multiply, and had gotten them many children , and were sgreat people, they began again to be more ungodly than the first. It Now when they lived so wickedly before thee,'thou didst choose thee a man from amongthem, whose name was^Abraham. i4Him thou lovedst,and unto him only thou shewedst thy will. 15 And inades' on everlasting covenant with him, promising him that thou wouldest never forsake his seed. 16 'And unto him thou gavest Isaac, and *unto Isaac also thou gavest Jacob and Esau. Asfor Jacob, thou 'didst choose him tothee, and put by Esau : and so Jacob becamea great multitude. 17 And it came to pass, that when thou leddest his seed out of Egypt, 'thou broughtest them up to the mount Sinai. 1$ And bowing the heavens, thou didst set fast the earth, movedst the whole world, and niadest the depths to tremble, and troubledst the men of that age. 19 And thy glory went through four gates of fire, and of earthquake, and of wind, and of cold ; that thou mightest give the law unto the seed of Jacob, || and diligence unto tbe gene- ration of Israel. ao And yet tookest thou not away from them a wicked heart, that thy law might bring forth fruit in them. 21 For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart, transgressed, and was overcome ; and so be all they that are born of him. 22 Thas infirmity was made permanent ; and the law (also) in the heart of the people with the malignity of the root ; so that the good departed away, and the evil abode still. 23 So the times passed away, and the years were brought to an end : Hhen didst thou raise thee up a servant, called David. 24 "Whom thou commandedst to build a city unto thy name, and to offer incense and oblations unto thee therein. 25 When this was done many years, then they that in- habited the city forsook thee, 26 And in all things did even as Adam and all his genera- tions had done : for they also had a wicked heart. 27 And so thou gavest thy city over into the hands of thine enemies. 18 Are their deeds then any better that inhabit Babylon, that they should therefore have the dominion over Sion ? 29 For when I came thither, and had seen impieties without number, then my soul saw many evil-doers in this thirtieth year, so that my heart failed me. 30 For I have seen how thou sufTerest them sinning, and mx spared wicked doers ; and hast destroyed thy people, and hast preserved thine enemies, and hast not signified it. 31 II I do not remember how this way may be left : Are thejr then of Babylon better than they of Sion ? 32 Or is there any other people that knoweth thee besides Is rael? or what generation hath so believed thy covenants as Jacob? 33 And yet their reward appeareth not, and their labour hath no fruit : for I have gone here and there through the heathen, and I see that they || flow in wealth, and think not upon thy commandments. 34 Weigh thou therefore our wickedness now in the balance, and theirs also that dwell in the world : and so shall thy name nowhere be found but in Israel. J$ Or when was it that they which dwell upon the earth have not sinned in thy sight ? or what people hath so kept thy connMndments? 3^ Thmi shalt find that Israel by name hath kept thy pre **pt«} hut not the heathen. • .T.asP*(»'«fli'w»jfis,*'ff^f»H' CHAP.

Go thy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, or measure me the blast of the wind, or call me again the day that is past. 6 Then answered I and said, What man is able to do that, that thou shouldest ask such things of me? 7 And he said unto me. If I should ask thee how great dwellings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs are in the beginning of the deep, or how many springs are above the firmament, or which are the outgoings of paradise : 8 Peradventure thou wouldest say unto me, I never went down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither did I ever climb up into heaven. 9 Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of the fire and wind, and of the day wherethrough thou hast passed, and of things from which thou canst not be separated, ancl yet canst thou give me no answer of them. 10 He said moreover unto me. Thine own things, and such as are grown up with thee, canst thou not know ; 1 1 How should thy vessel then be able to comprehend the way of the Highest, and the world being now outwardly cor- rupted, to understand the||corruption that is evident in my sight? 1 2 Then said I unto him. It were better that we were not at all, than that we should live still in wickedness, and to suf- fer, and not to know wherefore. 13 He answered me, and said, I went into a forest into a plain, and the 'trees took counsel, 14 And said. Come, let us go and make war .igainst the sea, that it may depart away before us, and that we may make us more woods. 15 The floods of the sea also in like manner took counsel, and said. Come, let us go up and subdue the woods of the plain, that there also we may make us another country. 16 The thought of the wood was in vain, for the fire came and consumed it. 17 The thought of the floods of the sea came likewise to nought, for the sand stood up and stopped them. 18 If thou wert judge now betwixt these two, whom would- est thou begin to justify ? or whom wouldest thou condemn ? 19 I answered and said. Verily it is a foolish thought that they both have devised, for || the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea also hath his place to bear his || floods. ao Then answered he me, and said. Thou hast given a right judgment, but why judgest thou not thyself also ? ai For like as || the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea to his floods : even so 'they that dwell upon the earth may understand nothing but that which is upon the earth : and he that dwelleth above the heavens may only understand the things that are above the height of the heavens. 33 Then answered I and said, I beseech thee, O lord, let me have understanding : 33 For it was not my mind to be curious of the high things, but of such as pass by us daily, namely, wherefore Israel is given up as a reproach to the heathen, and for what cause the people whom thou hast loved is given over unto ungodly na- tions, and why the law of our forefathers is brought to nought, and the written covenants come || to none effect, 34 And we pass away out of the world as grasshoppers, and our life is astonishment and fear, and we are not worthy to obtain mercy. 35 What will he then do unto his name whereby we are called ? of these things have I asked. 36 Then answered he me, and said, The more thou search- est, the more thou shalt marvel ; for the world hasteth fast to pass away, »|i/i>",t»,i , «,-» ■».. ,......-.-, tl Apocryplta, II. LSDRAS 87 And cannot comprdicnd the things that arc promisetl to the righteous in time td come: for this world is full of un- righteousness and infirmities. 28 But as concerning the things whereof thou askest me, I will tell thee ; for the evil is sown, but the destruction thereof is not yet come. >9 If therefore that which is sown be i.M '.-^med upside down, and if the place where the evil is sown pass not away, then cannot it come that is sown with good. 30 For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much ungodliness hath it brought up unto this time ? and how much shall it yet bring forth until the || time of threshing come? 31 Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wickedness the grain of evil seed hath brought forth. 32 And when the cars shall be cut down, which are without number, how great a floor shall they fill ? 33 Then I answered and said, How, and when shall these things come to pass ? wherefore are our years few and evil 7 34 And he answered me, saying. Do not thon hasten aliovc the Most Highest : for thy haste is in vain to be above him, for thou hast much exceeded. 35 Did not the souls also of the righteous ask question of these things in their chambers, saying. How long shall I hope or this fashion ? when cometh the fruit of the floor of our reward? 36 And tinto these things || Uriel the archangel gave them answer, and said. Even when the number of seeds is filled in you : for he hath weighed the world in the balance. 37 By measure hath he measured the times, and by numbet hath he numbered the times ; and he doth not move nor stir them, until the said measure be fulfilled. 38 Then answered I and said, O lord that barest rule, even we all are full of impiety. 39 And for our sak . peradventure it is that the floors of the righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them thai dwell upon the earth. 40 So he answered me, and said, Go thy way to a woman with child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer within her. 41 Then said I, No, lord, that can she not. And he said unto me. In the grave the chambers of souls ore like the womb of a woman ; 42 For like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to escape the necessity of the travail : even so do these places haste to deliver those things that are committed unto them. 43 From the beginning, look, what thou desirest to see, it shall be shewed thee. 44 Then answered I and said. If I have found favour in thy sight, and if it be possible, and if I be meet therefor, 45 Shew me then whether there be more to come than is past, or more past than is to come. 46 What is past I know, but what is for to come I know not. 47 And 'le said unto me. Stand up upon the right side, and I shall expound the similitude unto thee. 48 So I stood, and saw, and behold, a hot burning oven passed by before me : and it happened, th-i when the flame was gone by I looked, and behold, the smoke remained still. 49 After this there i)a.ssed by before me a watery cloud, and sent down much rain with a storm : and when the stormj rain was past, the drops remained still. 50 Then said he unto me. Consider with thyself; as the rain is more than the dro|is, and as the fir« is greater than tht- smoke ; but the drops and the smoke remain behind i so the II quantity which is jxist did more exceed. 51 Then I prayed, and said, May I live, thtnkest thou, until that time ? or || what shall happen in those days? 5 a He answered me, and said, As for the tokens whereof thou askest me, I may tell thee of them in part : but as touch- ins thy life, I am not sent to shew thee; for I do not know it.

Where hast thou been ? and why is thy countenance so heavy ? 1 7 Kowest thou not that Israel is committed unto thee in the land of their captivity ? 18 Up then, and eat bread, and forsake ns not, as vhe shep- herd that leaveth his flock in the hands of cruel wolves. 19 Then said I unto him. Go thy ways from me, and come not nigh me. And he heard what I said, and went from me. 20 And so I fasted reven days, mourning and weeping, lilie as Uriel the angel commanded me. 21 And after seven days so it was, that the thoughts of my heart were very grievous unto me again, 22 And my'soul recovered the spirit of understanding, and I began to talk with the Most High again, 23 And said,0 Lord that bearest rule,of everywood of the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou hast chosen thee one only vine: 24 And of all lands of the whole world thou hast chosen thee one pit : and of all the flowers thereof one lily : 2sAnd of all thedepthsoftheseathou hast filled thee one fivei'. and of all builded cities thou hast hallowed Sion unto thyself: 26 And of all the fowls that are created thou hast named thee one dove : and of all the cattle that are made thou hast provided thee one sheep : 27 And among all the multitude of peoples thou hut gotten thee one people : and unto this people, whom thou lovedst, thou gavest a law that is approved of all. 28 And now, O Lord, why hast thou given thisonepeopleover unto many ? and || upon the one root hast thou prepared others, and why hast thou scattered thine only one people among many? 39 And they which did gainsay thy promises, and beliered not thy covenants, have trodden them down. 30 If thou didst so much hate thy people, yet shouldest thou pnniih them with thine own hands. 31 Now r hen I had spoken these words, the angel that came to me the night afore was sent unto ihe, 3a And said unto me, Hear me, and I will instruct thee; hearken to the thing that I say, and I shall tell thee more. 33 And I said. Speak on, my lord. Then said he unto me, Thou art sore troubled in mind for Israel's sake: lowit IMu that people better than he that made them ? 34 And I said.

Like as thou canst do none of these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find out my judgment, or in the end the love that I have promised unto my people. 41 And Isaid, Behold, O Lord, yet art thou nigh unto them that be reserved tiil the end : and what shall they do that have been before me or we that be now, or they that shall come after us 7 4a And he said unto me, I will liken my judgment unto a ring: liice as there is no slackness of the last, even so there is no swiftness of the first. 43 So I answered and said, Couldest thou not make those that have been made, and be now, and that are for to come, at once; that thou mightest shew thy judgment the sooner? 44 Then answered he me, and said. The creature may not haste above the maker ; neither may the world hold them at once that shall be created therein. 45 And I said. As thou hast said unto thy servant, that thou which givest life to all, hast jiven life at once to the creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it : even so it might now also bear them that now be present at once. 46 And he said unto me. Ask the womb of a woman, and say unto her. If thou bringest forth children, why dost thou it not together, but one after another? pray her therefore to bring foirh ten children at once. 47 And i said. She cannot : but must do it by distance of time. 48 Then said he unto me. Even so have I given the womb of the earth to those that be sown in it in their times. 49 For like as a young child may not bring forth the things that belong to the aged, even so have I disposed the world which I created. 50 And I asked and said. Seeing thou hast now given me the way, I wiWfiroeteti to speak before thee : for our mother, of whom thou hast told me that she is young, draweth now nighunto age. 51 He answered me, and said. Ask a woman that beareth children, and she shall tell thee. 5a Say unto her. Wherefore are not they whom thou hast now brought forth, like those that were before, but less of stature? 53 And she shall answer thee. They that be born in the strength of youth are of one fashion, .and they that are born in the time of age, when the womb faileth, are otherwise. 54 Consider thou therefore also, how that y« are less of stature than those that were before you. 55 And so are they that come after you less tlian ye, as the creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed over the strength of youth. $6 Then said I, Lord, I beseech thee, if I have found favour in thy sight, shew thy servant by whom thou visitest thy creature, CHAP.

S^ the inventions of them that now sin were turned, before they were sealed that have gathered faith for a treasure : 6 Then did I consider these things, and they all were made through me alone, and through none other : by me alsv they shall be ended, and by none other. 7 Then answered I and said. What shall be the parting asunder of the times: or when shsM be the end of the first, and the beginning of it that follov.reth ? 8 And he said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, when Jacob and Esau were born of him, 'Jacob's hand held [| first the heel of Esau. 9 For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the be- ginning of it that followeth. 10 The hand of man is betwixt the heel and the hand: other question, Esdras, ask thou not. 1 1 ^ I answered then and said, O Lord that bearest rule, if I have found favour in thy sight, 13 I beseech thee, shew thy servant tic end of thy tokens, whereof thou shewedst me part the last nigiit. 13 So he answered and said unto me. Stand up upon thy feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice. 14 And it shall be as it were a great || motion; but the place where thou standest shall not be moved. 15 And therefore when it speaketh be not afraid; for the word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth is understood. 16 And why? because the speech of these things trembteth and is moved : for it knoweth that the end of these things must be changed. 17 And it happened that when I had heard it I stood up upon my feet, and hearkened, and behold, there was a voice that spake, and the sound of it was like the sound of many waters. 18 And it said. Behold, the days come, that I will begin to draw nigh, and to visit them that dwell upon the earth, 19 And will begin to make inquisition of them, what they be that have hurt unjustly with their unrighteousness, and when the affliction of Sion shall be fulfilled ; 20 And when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, shall be || finished, then will I shew these tokens: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and . ?y shall see all together : a I And the children of a year old shall speak with their voices, the women with childshall bring forth untimely children of three or fourmonthsold, and they shall live, and be raised up. aa And suddenly shall the sown places appear unsown, the full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty : 33 And the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man heareth, they shall be suddenly afraid. 24 At that time shall friends fight one ^^;ainst another like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not run. 35 Whosoever remaineth from all these that I have told thee shall escape, and see my salvation, and the end of your world. a6 And the men that are received shall see it, who have not tasted death from their birth: and the heart of the inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another meaning. 27 For ev;i r^hall be put out, and deceit shall be quenched. 28 As f jr faiti?, it shall flourish, corruption shall be over- come, an i the truth which hath been so long without fruit, shall be declrj-ed. 39 /.nd when he talked with me, behold, I looked by little and liitle upon him before whom I stood. 30 And these words said he unto me ; I am come to shew thee the time of the night to come. 31 If thou wilt pray yet more, and fast seven days again, I shall tell thee greater things ||by day than I have beard. 3a For thy voice is heard before the Most High : for the Mighty hath seen thy righteous dealing, he hath seen also thy ch^ity, which thou hast had ever since thy youth. 33 And therefore hath he sent me to shew thee all these things, and to say unto thee. Be of good comfort, and fear not. 34 And hasten not with the times that are past, to think vain things, that thou mayest not hasten from the latter times. 35 And it come to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted seven days in like manner, that 1 might fulfil the three weeks which he told me. 36 And in the eighth night wa.. my heart vexed within em again, and I began to sieak before the Most High. 13 Apocrypha.

It is so. Lord. Then said he unto me, Eres so also is Israel's portion. 1 1 Because for their sakes I made the world : and when Adam transgressed my statutes, thei was decreed that now is done. I a Then were the entrat. ja of this world made narrow full of sorrow and travail : they are but few and evil, fiiU of perib and very painful. 13 For the entrances of the ||elder world were wide and sure, ard brought immortal fruit. 14 If then they that live, labour not to enter these tttait and vair. things, they can never receive those that are laid up for them. 15 Now t'lerefore why disquietest thou thyself, seeing thon art but a corruptible man ? and why art thou moved, wheteu thou art bv< mortal ? 16 Wh} hast thou not considered in thy mind this thing that is to come, rather than that which is present? 1 7 Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rale, thon hast ordained in thy 'law, that the righteous should inherit these things, but that the ungodly should perish. 18 Nevertheless, the righteous shall suffer strait things, and hope for wide : for they that have done wickedly have suffered the strait things, and yet shall not see the wide. 19 And he said unto me. There is no judge above 6od,and none that hath understanding above the Highest. 20 For thcic be many that perish in this life, because they despise the law of God that is set before them. 21 For God hath given strait commandment to such as cane, what they should do to live, even as they came, and what they should observe to avoid punishment. 22 Nevertheless, they were not obedient unto him; but spake against him, and imagined vain things ; 23 And deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the Most High, that he is not ; and knew not his ways: 24 But his law have they despised, and denied his con* nant; in his sUtutes have they not been faithful, and have not performed his works. 25 And therefore, Esdras, for the empty are empty things, and for the full are the full things. 26 Behold, the time shall come, that these tokens which I have told thee shall come to pass, and the bride shall appear, and she coming forth, shall be seen, that now iswithdiawn from the earth. 27 And whosoever is delivered from the aforesaid crili shall see my wonders. 28 For my son Jesus shall be revealed with those that be with him, and they that remain shall rejoice within four bim- dred years. 29 After these years shall my son Christ die, and all ma that have life. 30 And the world shall be turned into the old silence seven days, like af in the || former judgments: so that no man shall remain. 31 And after seven dayi the world, that yet awaketh w)t, shall be raised up, and that shall die that is corrupt. 32 And the earth shall restore those at are asleep in her, and so shall the dust those that dwell in silence, and the secret places shall deliver those souls that were committed onto them. 33 And the Most High shall appear upon the seat of judg- ment, and misery Shall pass away, and the long-suffering thall have an end : 34 But judgment only shall remain, truth shall stand, m faith shall wax strong : 35 And the work shall follow, and the reward <|«J** shewed, and the good deeds shall be of force, and vncM deeds shall bear no rule. Afttrypka. jk Then aid I, ^Abraham prayed first for the Sodomites, lod'Moses for the fathers that sinned in the wilderness : 17 And Jesus after him for Israel in the time of || Achan : t8 And Samuel and 'David for the destruction : and 'Solo- mon for them that should come to the sanctuary : ts And 'Helias for those that received rain ; and for the deid, that he might live: 40 And 'Ezechias for the people in the time of Sennacherib : ud many for many. 41 Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and wicked- n(8 increased, and the righteous have prayed for the ungodly ; whetefore shall it not be so now also ? 41 He answered me, and said, This present life is not the end where much glory doth abide ; therefore have they prayed for the weak. 4} But the day of doom shall be the end of this time, and the Dinning of the immortality for to coitie, wherein corrup- tion is past, 44 Intemperance is at an end, infidelity is cut off, righteous- ness is grown, and truth is sprung up. 45 Then shall no man be able to save him that is destroyed, nor to oppress him that hath gotten the victory. 46 I answered then and said. This is my first and last say- ing, that it had been better not to have given the earth unto Adam : or else, when it was given him, to have restrained him from sinning. 47 For what profit is it for men now in this present time to live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment ? 48 thou Adam, what hast thou done! for though itwas'thou thatsinned,thouart not fallen alone, but we all that come of thee. 49 For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us an im- mortal cime, whereas we have done the works that bring death? 50 And that there is promised us an everlasting hope, whereas ourselves being most wicked are made vuin ? CI And that there are laid up for us dwelling:, of health and lafety, whereas we have lived wickedly ? 51 And that the glory of the Most High is kept to defend them which have led || a wuy life, whereas we have walked in the most wicked ways of all ? 53 And that there should be showed a paradise, whc.e fruit endureth forever, wherein is || security and medicine, since we ihall not ent<>r into it ? 54 (Fui we have walked in unpleasant places.) 55 And that the faces of them which have used abstinence ihall shine above the stars, whereas our faces shall be blacker than darkness? 56 For while we lived and committed iniquity, we consid- eted not that we should begin to suffer for it after death. 57 Then answered he me, and said, This is the || condition of the battle, which man that is born upon the earth shall fight ; jS That, if he be overcome, he shall suffer as thou hast said : but if he get the victory, he shall receive the thing that I say. TO For this is the life whereof Moses spake unto the people while he lived, saying, 'Choose thee life, that thou mayest live. 60 Nevertheless, they believed not him, nor yet the prophets t&a him, no, nor me which have spoken unto them, 61 That there should not be such heaviness in their destPic- tion, as shall be joy over them that are persuaded tosalvatii a. 61 I answered then, and said, I know.

A ND he answered me, saying. The Most High hath made £\ this world for many, but the world to com* for few. a I will tell thee a similitude, Esdras ; As when thou aiJcest the earth, it shall say unto thee, that it giveth much mould whereof earthen vessels are made, but little dust that gold Cometh of: even jo is the course of this present world. 3 'There be many created, but few shaJl be saved. 4 So answered I a"d said. Swallow then down, O my soul, understanding, anil devour wisdom. 5 For thou hast agreed to give ear, and art willing to pro- phesy : for thou hast wo longer space than only to live. 6 O Lord, if thuu suffer not thy servant, that we may pray before thee, and || thou give us seed unto our hei:r!, and culture to our understanding, that there may come fruit of it ; how shall each man live that is corrupt, who beareth the place of a man ? 7 For thou art alone, and we all one workmanship of thy hands, like as thou hast said. 8 For II when the body is fashioned now in the mother's womb, and thou givest it members, t'.y creature is preserved in fire and water, and nine months dotl. thy workmanship endure thy creaturt which is created in her. 9 But that which keepeth and is kept shall both be pre- served : and when the time cometh, the womb preserved de- livereth up the things that grew in it. 10 For thou hast commanded out of the parts of the body, that is to say, out of the breasts, milk to be given, which is the fruit of the breasts. 11 That the thing which is fashioned maybe nourished for a time, till thou disposest it to thy mercy. 1 2 Thou broughtest it up with thy righteousness, and nur- turedst it in thy law, and reforroedst it with thy judgment. 1 3 And thou shalt mortify it as thy creature, and quicken it as thy work. 14 If therefore thou shalt destroy him which with so great 'labour was fashioned, it is an easy thing to be ordained by thy commandment, that the thing which was made might be pre- served. 15 Now therefore. Lord, I will speak; touching man in general, thou knowest best ; but touching thy people, for whose sake I am sorry ; • 16 And for thine inheritance, for whose cause I mourn ; and for Israel, for whom I am heatry ; and for Jacob, for whose sake I am troubled ; 1 7 Therefore will I begfn to pray before thee for myself and for them : for I see the falls of us that dwell in the land. 18 Butlhave heard theswiftnessof the judgewhich is to come. 19 Therefore hear my voice, and understand my words, and I shall speak before thee. This is the beginning of the words of Esdras, before he was taken up : and I said, 30 O Lord, thou that dwellest in everlastingness, which be- holdest from above things in the heaven and in the air ; 31 Whose throne is inestimable; whose glory may not be comprehended : before whom the hosu of angels stand with trembling, 33 Whose service is conversant in wind and fire ; whose word is true, and sayi-^gs constant; whose commandment is strong, and ordinance fearful ; ' 33 Whose look drieth up the depths, and indignation maketb the mountains to melt away ; which the truth witnesseth : 34 O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature. 3$ For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have un> derstanding I will answer. 36 O look not upon the sins of thy people ; but on them which serve thee in truth. 37 Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but the desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions. 38 Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before thee : but remember them, which according to thy will have known thy fear. 39 Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived like beasts; but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy law. 30 Take thou no indignation at them which are deemed 13 Apoayph: II. ESDRAS. worae than beaiU ; but lore them that alwayi put their tnwt in thy righteoutncw and glory. 31 For we and our fathen || do languiih of such diaeaies : but becauM of us linnen thou shalt be called merciful. 31 For if thou || hast a desire to have mercy upon us, thou shalt be called merciful, to us namely, that have no works of righteousness. 33 For the just, which have many good works laid up with thee, shall out of their own deeds receive reward. 34 For what is man, that thou shouldest take displeasure at him ? or what is a corruptible generation, that thQu shouldest be so bitter toward it t 35 'For in truth there is no man araong them that be bom, but he hath dealt wickedly ; and ataong the faithful there is none which hath not done amiss. 36 For in this, O Lord, thy righteousness and thy goodness ■hall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which have not the II confidence of good works. 37 Then answered he me, and said, Some things hast thou spoken aright, and according unto thy words it shall be. 38 For indeed I will not think on the disposition of them which have sinned before death, before judgment, before de- struction ; 39 But 'I will rejoice over the disposition of the righteous, and I will remember also their pilgrimage, and the salvation, and the rewanl, that they shall have. 40 Like as I have spoken now, so shall it come to pass. 41 For as the husbandman soweth much seed upon the ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sown good in his season cometh not up, neither doth all that is planted take root : even so is it of them that are sown in the world ; they shall not all be saved. 42 1 answered then and said, Iflhave found grace.letmespeak. 43 Like as the husbandman's seed perisheth, if it come not up, and receive not thy rain in due season : or if there come too much rain, and corrupt it : 44 Even so perisheth man also, which is formed wiMi thy hands, and is called thine own image, because thou art like unto him, for whose sake thou hast made all things, and likened him unto the husbandman's seed. 45 Be not wroth with us, but spare thy people, and have mercy upon thine own inheritance : for thou art merciful unto thy creature. * 46 Then answered he me, and said, Things present are for the present, and things to come for such as ^ to come. 47 For thou ^:omest far short that thou shouldest be able to love my creature more than I : but I have oft-times drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the unrighteous. 48 In this also thou art marvellous l^fore the Most High: 49 In that thon hast tumbled thyself, as it becometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glorified among the righteous. 50 For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the 'latte- time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride. 51 But undersund thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee. 53 For unto you is paradise ^opened, the tree of life is plant- ed, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, anci rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness apd wisdom. 53 The root of evil is sealed up from you, weakness and the moth is hid from yon, and corruption is fled into || hell to be forgotten ; 54 Sorrows ate passed, and in the end is shewed the treasure of 'immortality. * 55 And therefore ask thou no more Niuestions concerning the multitude of them that perish. 56 For irtien they had taken liberty, they despised the Most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways. 57 Moreover they have trodden down his righteous, 58 And Said in their heart, that there is no God ; yea, and that knowing they must die. 5 For as the things aforesaid shtll receive you, so thirst ana win are prepared for them : for it was not his will "that men should come to nought : 69 But they which he created have defiled the name of him J6 |0t, «rf ikk. • 1 Klnfi •.«6. ■ Chron.

II Who then should make more mourning than she that hath lost so great a multitude ; and not thou, which art sorry but for one? II But if thou sayest unto me, My lamentation is not like the earth's, because I have lost the fruit of my womb, which '\ brought forth with pains, and bore with sorrows ; 13 HBut the earth not $0: for the multitude present in it, arr oraing to the course of the earth, is gone, as it came : 14 Then say I unto thee, Like as thou hast brought forth with labour; even so the earth also hath given her fruit, namely, roan, ever since the beginning unto him that made her. 15 Now therefore keep thy sorrow to thyself, and bear with a good courage that which hath befallen thee. 16 For if thou shalt 'acknowledge the determination of God to be just, thou shalt both receive thy son in time, and shalt be commended among women. 1 7 Go thy way then into the city to thy husliand. 18 And she said unto me, That will I not do; I will not go into the city, *but here will I die. 19 So I proceeded to speak further unto her, and said, 30 Do not so, but be counselled bv me ; for how many are the adversities of Sion ? be comforted in regard of the sorrow of Jerusalem. 31 For thou seest that 'our sanctuary is laid waste, our altar broken down, our temple destroyed ; S3 Our psaltery is laid on the ground, our song Is put to silence, our rejoicing is at an end, the light of our candlestick is put out, the ark of our coven at is spoiled, our holy things are defiled, and the name that ii called upon us is almost pro- faned : our children are put to shame, our priests are burnt, our Levites are gone into captivity, our virgins are defiled, and our wives ravished ; our righteous men carried away, ri\T little ones destroyed, our young men are brought in bond.v,e, and our strong men are become weak ; 33 And, which is the greatest of all, the seal of Siou hath now lost her 'honour ; for she is delivered into the hands of them that hate us. 34 And therefore shake off thy great heavinear>, and put away the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be merci- ful unto thee again, and the Highest shall give tliee rest and ease from thy labour. 35 And it came to pass, while I was talking with her, behold, 'her faceupon asudden shined exceedingly, and her countenance glistered, so that I wasafraid of her, and mused what it might be. 36 And behold, suddenly she made a great cry, very fearful : so that the "earth shook at the noise of the woman, 37 And I looked, and behold, the wonuui appeared unto me no more, but there was a city builded, and a large place shewed itself from the foundations ; then was I afraid, and cried with a loud voice, and said, 38 Where is 'Uriel the angel, who come unto meat th« first? for he hath caused me to fall || into many trances, and mine end is turned into corruption, and my prayer to rebuke. 39 And as I was speaking these words, behold, he came unto me, and looked upon me, 30 And lo, I lay 'as one that had been dead, and mine under- standing wasUken from me; and hetookymeby theright hand, and comforted me, and set me upon my feet, and said unto me, 31 What aileth thee? and whyart thou so disquieted? and why is thine understanding troubled, and the thoughts of thy heart ? 33 And I said. Because thou hast forsaken me, and yet I did according to thy *words, and I went into the field, and lo, I have seen, and yet see, that I am not able to express. 33 And he said unto me. Stand up manfully, 'and I will advise thee. 34 Then said I, Speak on, my lord, in me ; only forsake me not, lest I die frustrate of my hope. 35 For I have seen that I knew iiot,'Wid hear that I do not know. 36 Or is my senso deceived, or my soul in a dream ? 37 Now therefore, I beseech thee, that thou wilt shew thy servant of this || vision. 38 He answered me then, and said. Hear me, and I shall inform thee, and tell thee wherefore thou art afraid : for the Highest will reveal many 'secret things unto thee. 39 He hath voa^ that thy || way is right : for that thon sor- Apocrypha.

So I slept that night and another, like as he commanded me. CHAP. XI. Hi «wM t» til Jrrnm «a ov* ctmiuf -U^flkt urn, amJa lien 0ul^a mocJ latUmg /« tht utfit. THEN saw I a dream, and behold, there came up from the sea an *eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads. 9 And I saw, and behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of the air blew on her, and were gathered together. 3 And I beheld, and out of her ^feathers there grew other contrary feathers ; and they became little feathers and small 4 But her 'heads were at rest : the head in the midst was greater than tite other, yet rested f it with the residue. 5 Moreover I beheld, and lo, the eagle flew with her feath ers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt therein 6 'And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto her, and no man spake against her, no, not one creature upon earth. 7 And I bdield, and lo, the eagle rose apon her talons, and spake to her feathers, saying, 8 Watch not all at once : sleep everyone in his own place, and watch by course : 9 Biit let the heads be preberved for the last. 10 And I beheld, and lo, tlie voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body. 11 And I numbered her ^:ont^try feathers, and behold, there were eight of them.

I And I saw, and behold, 'they a]>peared no more, and the whole body of the eagle was burnt, so that the earth was in creat fear : then awaked I out of the trouble and trance of my mind, and from great fear, and said unto my spirit, 4 Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou 'searchest out the'ways of the Highest. 5 Lo yet am I weary in mv nin.'l, and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is there in me, for the great fear wherewith I was affrighted this night. 6 Therefore will I now beseech the Highest, that he will comfort me unto the end. 7 And I said, Lord 'that bearest rule, if I h.ivc found grare before thy sight, and if I am justified with thee before many others, and if my prayer indeed \k tome up before thy face ; g Comfort me then, and Shew me thy servant the interpre- tation and plain difference of this fearful vision, that thou mayest perfectly comfort my soul. 9 For thou hast judged me worthy to shew me the last times. 10 And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the Tision : II The eagle whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the kingdom which was seen in the 'vision of thy brother Daniel. 11 But it was not exi>uunded unto him, therefore now I declare it unto thee. 13 Behold the days will come, that there shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be 'feared above all the kingdoms tlut were before it. 14 In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another : 15 Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have more time than any of the twelve. 16 And this do the twelve wings signify, 'which thou sawest. 1; As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou lawrst 'not go out from the heads, but from the iftidst of the body thereof this is the interpretation : 18 That,a(ter the time of that kingdom there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in i>eril of falling : nevertheless, it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning. 19 And whereas thou sawest the 'ei^^lit small underfeathers sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation : 20 That in him there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall be but small, and their years swift. 21 And two of them shall j>erish, the middle time approach- ing: four shall be kept until their end begin to approach : but two shall be kept unto the end. 22 And whereas thou sawest 'three heads resting, this is the interpretation : 2j In his last days shall the Most High raise up three kiogdoms, and renew many things therein, and they shall have the dominion of the earth, 24 And of those that dwell therein, with much oppression, above all those that were before them : therefore are they called the "heads of the eagle. 2j For these are they that shall accomplish his wickedness, and that shall finish his last end. a6 And whereas thou sawest that the great head appeared no more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet with pain. a; For the two that remain shall be slain with the sword 28 For the sword of the one shall devour the other : but at the last shall he fall through the sword himself. 29 And whereas thou sawest "two feathers under the wings Fusing over the head that is on the right side ; 10 It signifieth that these are they whom the Highest hath ke|)t unto their end : this is the small kingdom and full of trouble, as thou sawest. %i And the lion,*whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, ud roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking her for Mr unrighteousness with all the words which thou hast heard j ja This is the 'anointed, which the Highest hath kept for •ch. 11.97. *ch. 11.14, •u, t> Job M.J.

And with that he went his way. 40 And it came to i>ass, when all the ijeople saw that the seven days were past, and I not cume again into the city, they gathered them all together, from the least unto the greatest, and came unto me, and :-aid, 41 What have we offended thee? and what evil have we done against thee, that thou forsakes! us, and sittest here in this place? 42 For of all the || prophctj thou 'only art left us, as a cluster of the vintage, and as a candle in a dark place, and as a haven or ship preserved from the tempest. 43 Are not the evils which are come to us sufficient? 44 If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been for us, if we also had 'been burned in the midst of Sion ? 45 For we are not better than they that died there. And they wept with a loud voice. Then answered I them, and said, 46 Be of good comfort, O Israel, and be not heavy, thou house of Jacob : 47 For the Highest hath you 'in remembrance, and the Mighty hath nut forgotten you in temptation. 48 As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I de- parted from you : but am come into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and that I t^ight seek mercy for the 'low estate of your sanctuary, 49 And now go your way home every man, and after these days will I come unto you. 50 So the people went their way into the city, like as I commanded them : 51 But I remained still in the field seven days, as 'the angel coinmanded me ; and did eat only in those days of the flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs, CHAP.

JI Then was the land, even the land of Sion, 'parted among you by lot : but your fathers, and ye yourselves, have done unrighteousness, and have not kept the ways which the High- est commanded you. ji And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took from you in time the thing that he had given you. jj And now "^e ye here and your brethren among you. j4 Therefore if so be that ye will subdue your own under standing, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive, and after death ye shall *obtain mercy. J5 For after death shall the judgment come, when we shall live again: and then shall the names of the righteous be manifnt, and the works of the ungodly shall be declared. j6 Let no man therefore come unto me now, nor seek after me these forty days. J7 So I took 'the five men, as he commanded me, and we went into the Geld, and remained there. j8 And the next day, behold, a voice called me, saying, Eidraa,'open thy mouth, and drink that I give thee to drink. J9 Then opened I my mouth, and behold, he reached me a wll cap, which was full as it were with water, but the colour of It was like fire. 40 And I took it, and drank : and when I had drunk of it, ■y heart uttered understanding, and wisdom grew in my wat, for my spirit strengthened my memory : ^ ij^ mjr*mouth was opened, and shut no more.

Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast strangled thy husbands? thou hast had already seven hus- bands, neither wast thou named after any of them. 9 Wherefore dost thou beat us for them ? if they be dead, go thy ways after them, let us never see of thee either son or daughter. 10 When she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have 'strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave. 1 1 Then *she prayed towards the window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thy holy and glorious name is blessed and honorable forever : let all thy works praise thee for ever. 13 Andnow,OLord,Isetmineeye8andmyfacetowardsthee, 13 And say, "Take me out of the earth, that I may hear no more the reproach. 14 Thou knowest. Lord, that I am pure from all sin with man, 15 And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of "my father, in the land of my captivity ; I am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any || near kinsman, nor any son of his alive to whom 1 may keep myself for a wife : my seven husbands are already dead ; •and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach. 16 So the prayers of them both 'were heard before the majesty of the great God. 1 7 And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the 'whiteness of T i'b eyes, and to give 'Sara the daughter t ' Raguel for a * le to Tobias the son of Tobitj and to binu wsmodeus the evil spirit; because she belongtd to Tobiaa by right of inheriUnce.

Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have inquired to know thy tribe and thy family ; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock : for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we 'went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the first-born, and the tenths of the fruits : and they were not seduced Vith the error of our brethren : my brother, thou art of a good stock. 14 But tell me, Vhat wages shall I give thee? wi/t Iktm a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son ? 15 Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages. 16 So they were well pleased.

And when his son had prepared all things for the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the ^ngcl of God keep you company.

Take the fish. And the yomg man laid hold of the fish, || and drew it to land. 4 To whom the angel said. Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely. 5 So the young man did as the angel commanded him ; and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it : then they both went on their way, till they drew near to 'Ecbatane. 6 Then the young man said to the angel, Brother 'Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gall of the fish ? 7 And he said unto him. Touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make a smoke thereof before the nuut or the wonun, and the party shall be no more vexed. 8 As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath 'white- ness in his eyes, and he shall be healed. 9 And when they were come near to Rages, 10 The angel said to the young man. Brother, to-day we shall lodge with 'KagattI, who is thy cousin \ hv also hath OM as Apocrypha. onljr daughter, named *San ; I will tpeak for her, that ihe may be given thee for a wife. 1 1 For to thee doth the || *right of her appertain, teeing thou onljr art of her kindred.

Moreover, I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things. he loved her, and his heart was || effectually joined to her.

AFTER these things Tobias "went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto 'Nineve. a Then 'Raphael said to Tobias, thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father : 3 Let ns haste before thy wife, and prepare the house. 4 And take in thy hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, 'and the dog went after them. 5 Kow Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son. 6 And when she espied him coming, she said to his father. Behold, thy son cometh, and 'the man that went with him. 7 Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes. 8 Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and 'the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee. 9 Then Anna ran forth, and 'fell upon the neck of her son, »nd said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth *I am content to die. And they wept both. 10 Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled ; bot his son ran unto him, 11 And took hold of his father ; and he strake of the gall on his father's eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father. It And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them ; 13 And "the whiteness pilled away from the comers of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his nerk. 14 And he wept, and said. Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever ; and blessed are all thy holy angels: •ij For thou hast scourged, »and hast taken pity on me : for behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, nd told his father the neat things that had happened to him in Media. . ' I Or, Catmtl iUiud Tttiat and kit juaiui. * I Sam, 10, •FhU.4.<. 'cb. 8. K. •Gen. 14.

And when he came near to Sara his daughter- in-law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter : "God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and Messed be thy father and thy mother.

THEN Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, "see that the man have his wages, which went witn thee, and thou must give him more. 2 And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought : 3 For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, *and made whole my wife, 'and brought me the money, and like- wise healed thee. 4 Then the old man said, It is due unto him. 5 So he called the angel, and he said unto him, 'Take half of all that ye have brought, and go away in safety. 6 Then he took them both apart, and said unto them. Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. 'It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and II honourably to shew forth the works of God ; therefore be not slack to praise him. 7 It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of God, Do that which is good, 'and no evil shall touch you. 8 Prayer is good with fasting, and alms, and righteousness. 'A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighte- ousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold : 9 For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life : 10 But they that sin *are enemies to their own life. 1 1 'Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said. It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of God. 12 Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter-in-law, 'I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when th-^u didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise. 13 And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy dinner t to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from me : but I was with thee. 14 And 'now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter-in-law. 15 I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which pre- sent the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One. 16 Then they were both troubled, and "fell upen their faces : for they feared. 17 But he said unto them. Fear not, for it shall go well with you ; praise God therefore. 18 For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our God I came : wherefore praise him for ever. 19 "All these days I did appear unto yon ; but I did neither eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision. au Now therefore give God thanks ; for I go up to him that sent me ; but write all things which are done in a book. 21 And when they arose, "they saw him no more. 22 Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them. ■■'■ -' ^ CHAP.

When he had said thae things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being a hundred ini eight and fiftv years old ; and || he buried him honouraUy. 12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her wlih his father.

AND *in the eighteenth year, the two and twentieth day of the first month, there was talk in the house of Nabuchod- onosor king of the Assyrians, that he should, 'as he said, avenge himself on all the earth. I So he called unto him all his officers, and all his nobles, and communicated with them his secret counsel, and 'con- cluded the afflicting of the whole earth out of his own mouth. 3 Then they decreed to destroy 'all flesh that did not obey the commandment of his mouth. 4 And when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians called Holofemes the chief captain of his amy, which was f ^^^^ ^^^° bim, and said unto him, LThus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth. Id, thou shalt go forth from my presence, and take with thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen a hun- dred and twenty thousand ; and the number of horses with their riders twelve thousand. 6 And thou shalt go against all the west country, because th^ disobeyed my commandment. 7 And thou shalt declare unto them, :hat they prepare for me Hearth and water : for I will go forth in my wrath against them, and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of mine army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them : 8 So that their slain shall fill their valleys and brooks, and the river shall be filled with their dead, till it overflow : 9 And *I will lead them captives to the utmost parts of all the earth. 10 Thou therefore shalt go forth, and take l)eforehand for me ill their coasts : and if they will yield themselves unto thee, thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of their punishment. II But concerning them that rebel, let not thine eye spare them ; but put them to the slaughter, and spoil them whereso- ever thou goest.

ND when the *tumult of men that were about the council _ was ceased, Holofemes the chief captain of the army of Assur said unto Achior and all the Moabites before all the company of other nations, 3 And who art thou, Achior, and the hirelings of E|>hruin, that thou hast prophesied among us as to-day, and hast said, that we should not vaake war with the people of Israel, because their God will defend them ? *and who is God but Nabuchodonoior? 3 He will send his power, and will destroy them from the face of the earth, and their God shall not deliver them : but we his servants 'will destroy them as one man j for they an not able to sustain the power of ova horses. 4 For with them we will tread them under foot, and 'their mountains shall be dranken with their blood, and their fiekli shall be filled with their dead bodies, and their footsteps shall not be able to stand before us, for thev shaii utterly perish, saith king Nabuchodonosor, lord of all the earth: for heiaid, None of my words shall be in vain. 5 And thou, Achior, *», hireling of Ammon, which hast spoken these words in the day of tnine iniquity, shalt see my face no more from this day, until I take vengeance of this na- tion ^hat came out of Egypt. 6 And then shall the sword of mine arm^, and the multitode of them that serve me, pass through thy sides, and thou ihalt fall among their ilaia, when I return. 7 Now therefore 'my servants shall bring thee back into the hill-country, and shall set thee in one of the cities *ofthcii*i- sages. 8 And thou shalt not perish, till thou be destroyed withthon. 9 And if thou persuade thyself in thy mind that thev shall not be taken, let not thy countenance fitll : I have spoken it, and none of my words shall be in vain. .^ • 10 Then Holofernes commanded bis Krvant«i that waited w Uf^cnt, to take Achior, and bring him to Bethulia, and At- lim liin into ^^ h«ndf of the diildten of Israel. ri Sr) liii lervanti toolc tiim, and brouglit him out of the (MP it >he plain, and they went from the midit of the plain into the hill-country, and came unto the founUins that Me under Bethulia.

II Nevertheless, having gotten privily under the hill, they bound Achior, and cast bim down, and left him at the foot of tiK hill, and returned to their -lord. 14 Dut the Israelites descended from their city, and came nto him, and loosed him, and brought him into "Bethulia, and DRsented him to the governors of the city : 15 Which weie in those days Ozias the son of Micha, of the tribe of Simeon, imd Chabrie the son of Gothonial, and Charmis thennofMelchiel. 16 And they called together all the ancients of the city, and ill their youth ran together, and their women, to the assembly, and they sat Achior in Se midst of all their people. Then Oiias asked him of that which was done. 17 And he answered and declared unto them the words of the council of Holofernes, and all the words that he had spoken in the midst of the princes of Assur, and whatsoever Holofernes bid spoken proudly against the house of Israel. ig Then the people 'fell down and worshipped God, and cried unto God, saying, 19 O'Lord God <^ heaven, behold their pride, and pity the low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those that ue lanctiiied unto thee this day. so Then they comforted Achior, and praised him greatly. ai And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, and nuiide a feast to the elders ; 'and they called on the God of Inel all that night for help.

I a Remain in thy camp, and keep all the men of thine army, and let thy servants get into their hands 'the fountain of wa'.tr, which issueth forth of the foot of the mountain : 13 For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their water thence; So shall thirst kill them, and they shall give up (heir city, and we and our people shall go up to the topa of the rnoim- tains that are near, and will camp upon them, to watch .hat none go out of the city. 14 So they and their wives and their children ihall t* con- sumed 'with famine, and before the sword come aga'itst them, they shall be overthrown in the streets where they dwelt. 15 Thus shalt thou render them an evil rewstid ; because they ■'rebelled, and "met not thy (lerson piaceably. 16 And these words pleased Holofernes and all is servants, and he appointed to do as they had spoken. 17 So the camp of the children of Ammon departed, and with them five thousand of the Assyrians, and they pitched in the valley, and *took the waten, and the fountains of the watera of the children of Israel. 18 Then the children of Esau went up with the children of Ammon, and camped in the hill-country over against 'Dothaim: and they sent some of them toward thC>south, and toward the east, over against Ekrebel, which is near unto Chusi, that is upon the brook Mochmur ; and the rest of the army of the Assyrians camped in the plain, and (covered the face of the whole land ; and their tents and carriages were pitched to a very great multitude. 19 Then the 'children of Israel cried unto the Lord their God, because their heart failed, for all their enemies had com- passed them round about, and there was no way to escape out from among them. so Thus all the company of Assur remained about them, both their footmen, chariots, and horsemen, four and thirty days, *so that all their vessels of water failed all the inhabitants of Bethulia. ai And the || cisterns were emptied, and they had ucf '"ater to drink their fill for one day; for they gave them drink by measure. as Therefore their young children were out of heart, and their women ^nd young men fainted for thirst, and fell down in the streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates, and there was no longer any strength in them. 33 Then all the people a.ssembled to 'Ozias, and to the chief of the city, both young men, and women, and children, and cried with a loud voice, and said before all the elders, 24 God be 'judge between us and you : for ye have done us great injury, 'in that ye have not required peace of the children of Assur. 35 For now we have no helper : *but God hath sold us into their hands, that we should be thrown down before them with thirst and great destruction. 36 Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the whole city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes, and to all his brmy. 37 For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, than to die for thirst : for we v/ill be his servants, that our souls may live, and not see the death of our infants before our eyes, nor our wives nor our children to die. 38 'We take to witness against you the heaven and the earth, and our God and Lord of our fathers, which punisheth us ac- cording to our sins and the sins of our fathers, ||that he do not according as we have said this day. 39 Then ther- vna great weeping with one consent in the midst of the assembly ; and they cried imto the Lord God with a loud voice. 30 Then said K)ziaa t ^ them. Brethren, be of good courage, let us yet endure five days, in the which space the Lord our God may turn his mercy towards us ; 'for he will not forsake us utterly. 3t And if these days pass, and there come no help unto us, I will do according to your word. 3a And he dispersed the people, every one to their own charge, and they went unto the walls and towers of their city, and sent the women and children into their houses: ^d the; were very low lurcwght in the city. 81 JUDITH.

THEN Judith *fell upon iicr face, and put ashes upon her head, and uncovered the sackcloth wherewith the vat clothed ; and about the time 'that the incense of that evening was offered in Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, Judith cried with a loud voice, and said, a O Lord God of my father *Simeon, to whom thon gavot « sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and discovered the thigh to het shame, and polluted her virginity to her reproach ; for thoq saidst. It shall not be so ; and yet they did so ; 3 Wherefore thou gavest their rulers to be slain, so that they dyed their bed in bld, being deceived, and smotett the ser- vants with their lords, and the lords upon their thrones; 4 'And hast given their wives for a prey, and their danghten to be captives, and all their spoils to be divided among thy dear children ; which were moved with thy zeal, and abhorred 'the pollution of their blood, and called upon thee ibr aid : God, O my God, hear me also 'a widow. 5 For tho'j hast wrought not only those things, but sliothe things which fell out before and which ensued after; thou hast thought upon the things which are now, and which are to come. 6 Yea, Vvhat things thou didst determine were ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are here : for all thy ways are prepared, and thy judgments are in thy foreknowledge. 7 For, behold, the Assyrians Vtre multiplied in their power, they are exalted w ith hone and nun ; they glory in the strength of their footmen ; they trust in shield arid spear, and bow sad sling ; and know not that thou art the Lord that breakcit the botUei: the Lord is thy name. 8 Throw down their strength in thy power, and bring down their force in thy wrath : Mbr they have purposed to defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tobemocie where thy glonoiu name resteth, and to cast down with the sword the horn of thine altar. 9 Behold their pride, and send thy wrath upon their badi: giva into my hand, which am a widow, the power that I h«M conceived. 10 'Smite prince, and itateliness by ' ,1 -For thy in strong men ; the oppressed, lorn.tiavi.Mir „ I pray th of the inheritJ Creator of th« ij And mak rtripe, who h.i and thy halloi gainst the hoi 14 And mal thou art the G< Other that prot Apocrypha.

NOW after that she had ceased 'to cry unto the God of Israel, and had made an end of all these words, I She rose where she had fallen down, and called 'her maid, and went down into the house, in the which she abode in the ubbath-days, and in her feast-days, J And pulled off 'the sackcloth which she had on, and put off the garments of her widowhood, and washed her body all o«cr with water, and anointed herself with precious ointment, ind braided the hair of her head, and put on a f tire upon it, ind put on her garments of gladness, wherewith she was clad during the life of 'Manasses her husband. 4 And she took sandals upon her feet, and 'put about her her bracelets, and her chains, and her rings, and her ear-rings, and all her ornaments, and decked herself bravely, to allure the eyes of all men that should see her. 5 Then she gave her nuid a bottle of wine, and a cruse of oil, and filled a bag with parched corn, and lumps of figs, and with fine bread ; so she || folded all these things together, and laid them upon her. 6 Thus they went forth to the gate of the city of Bethulia, and found standing there 'Ozias, and the ancients of the city, Chabris and Charmis. 7 And when they saw her, that her countenance was altered, 'and her apparel was changed, they wondered at her beauty very greatly, and said unto her, 8 The God, *the God of our fathers, give thee favour, and accomplish thine enterprises, to the glory of the children of Israel, and to the exaltation of Jerusalem. Then they wor- shipped God. 9 And she said unto them. Command the gates of the city to be opened unto me, that I may go forth to accomplish the things whereof ye have spoken with me. So they commanded the young men to open unto her, as she had spoken. 10 And when they had done so, Judith went out, she, and her maid with her ; and the men of the city looked after her, until she was gone down the mountain, 'and till she had passed \m valley, and could see her no more. II Thus they went straight forth in the valley : and the first watch of the 'Assyrians met her, IS And took her, and asked her. Of what people art thou ? and "hence coroest thou ? and whither goest thou ? 'And she said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled from them : for they shall be given you to be consumed : I J And I am coming before Holoferues the chief captain of your army, to declare words of truth ; and I will shew him a way whereby he shall go, and win all the hill-country, without losing the body or life of any one of his men. J4 Now when the men heard her words, and beheld her countenance, "they wondered greatly at her beauty, and said unto her, IS Thou hast saved thy life.

Then Judith, standing by his bed, said 'in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of my hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem. 5 For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and to exe- cute mine enterprises to the destruction of the enemies which are risen against us. 6 Then she came to the pillar of the bea which wasat Holo- fernes' head, and took down his falchion from thence, 7 And approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, 'Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day. 8 'And she smote twice upon his neck with all her might, and she took away his head from him, 9 And tumbled his body down from the bed, and palled down the canopy from the pillars, and anon after she went forth, and gave Holofernes' head to 'her maid ; 10 And she put it in her bag of meat : so they twain went together according to their custom unto prayer: and when they passed the camp, they compassed Hhe valley, and went tip the mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof. 1 1 Then said Judith afar off to the watchmen Hx the gate.

Then Judith declared unto him in the midst of the people all that she had done, from the day that she went forth until that hour she spake unto them. 9 And when she had left ofT speaking, *the people shouted with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their citv. 10 And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of bis foreskin, and was 'joined unto the house of Israel gnto this day. 11 And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his weapons, and they went forth by bands unto the || straits of the moun ttin.

H For they that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at. 9 For though no terrible thing diil fear them ; yet licing scared 'with beasts that passed by, and hissing of serpents, 10 They died for fear, || denying that they saw the air, which could of no siile l>e avoided, 1 1 For wickedness, condemned by her own witness, 'is very timorous, and being pressed wiiU conscience, always fore- ca.stcth grievous things.

TAf Prologut of the IVisJom of JESUS, the Son of SIRACH. WHEREAS many and great things have been delivered unto us liy the law and the prophets, and by others that have followed their steps, for the which things Israel ought to be commended for learning and wisdom ; and whereof not only the readers must ncvils become skilful themselves, but also they that desire to learn be able to profit them which are || without, both by speaking and writing : I or.c^ mygnndfather Jesus, when he had much given himself to the reading of the law, and the prophets, and other books of our fathers, V!ui!S'. iwl had gotten therein good judgment, was drawn on also himself to write something pertaining to learning and wiMlom ; to the intent that those which are desirous to learn, and are addicted to these thingS: might profit much more in living according to the law. Wherefore let me entreat you to read it with favour and attention, and to pardon us, wherein we may seem to come short of some words which we have laboured to interpret. For the same things uttered in Hebrew, and translated into another tongue, have not the same force in them, and not only these things, but the law itself, and the f prophets and the rest of the books, have no small || difference, when ^^f^,*^ they are spoken in their own language. For in the eight and tliirtieth year coming into F.gypt, when Kuer^rtes was king, and con- U>t"uti- linuing there some time, I found a || liook of no small learning : the . cforc I thought it most necessary for me to bestow some diligence rT^i jj and travail to interpret it: using great watchfulness and skill in that space to bring the book to an end, and set it forth for them li".«'// ilw), which in a strange country are willing to learn, being pre|xirud Iwfore in manners to live after the law. 2v'"* CHAP.

Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel. 9 He 'created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail. 10 In the 'holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion. 11 'Likewise in the || beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power. 12 And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord's inheritance. 13 I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress- tree upon the mountains of Hermon. 14 I was exalted like a palm-tree in || Engaddi, and as a rose-plant in Jericho, as a fair olive-tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane-tree ||by the water. 15 I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the 'tabernacle. 16 As the turpentine-tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace. 1 7 'As the vine brought I forth a pleasant savour, and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. 18 I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope: I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my children which are || named of him. 19 Come unto m'.', all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with ro^ fruits. 30 For my r.iemorial is fsweeter than honey, and mine in- heritance than the honey-comb. 31 They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that lirink me shall yet be thirsty.

BI.ESSCD is the man that hath a virtuous wife, for the number of his days shall be double. * A vir'Mous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfd the years of his life in peace. 3 A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the iKirtion of them that fear the Lord. 4 Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good heart toward the Lord, he shall at all times rejoice with a cheerful countenance. 5 There be three things that my heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid : fthc slander of a city, and gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation : all these are worse than death. 6 But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which com- rounicateth with all. 7 An evil wife is ||a yoke shaken to and fro: he that hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion. 8 A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great an- ger, and she will not cover her own shame. 9 The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids. 10 *If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty. 11 Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she trespass against thee. I a She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every || hedge she will sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow. i^ The grace of a wife deiighteth her husband, and her dis- cretion will fatten his bones. 14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed. 15 A shamefaced and a faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued. 16 As the sun when it ariseth fin the high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the || ordering of her house. 17 As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face || in ripe age. 18 As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver; so are the || fair feet with a constant || heart. 19 My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers. 30 When thou hast gotten a fruitful possession through all the field, sow it with thine own seed, trusting in the go<^ness of thy stock. 31 So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, hav- ing the confidence of their good descent. 33 A harlot shall be accounted as || spittle, but a married woman is a tower against death to her husband. 33 A wicked woman is given as a portion to a wicked man : but a godl^ woman is given to him that feareth the Lord. 34 A dishonest woman contemneth shame: but an honest woman will reverence her husband. 25 A shameless woman shall be accounted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord. 36 A woman that honoureth her husband shall be judged wise of all ; but she that dishonoureth him in her prioe shall be counted ungodly of all. 68 llafon Ktfera CHRIST ( IIRISr ■bt>UI 9ur) ftbout tuu. . ■ 1.

IX When I travelled, I saw many things; and I understood more than I can express. 1 3 I was oft-times ^n danger of death : yet I was delivered because of these things. 13 The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; 'for their hope is in him that saveth them. 14 Whoso feareth the Lord shall not fear nor be afraid; for he is his hope. 15 Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord: to whom doth he look? and who is his strength? 16 For *the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, *he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from heat, *and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, and a help from falling. 17 He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes: he giveth health, life, and blessing. 18 'He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offer- ing is ridiculous ; and || the gifts of unjust men are not accepted. 19 "The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked ; neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sac- rifices. 20 Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor, doeth as one that killeth the son before his father's eyes. 21 The bread of the needy is their life: "he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood. 22 He that t.iketh away his neighbour's living slayeth him; and he that 'defraudeth the labourer of his hire is a blood- shedder. 23 When one buildeth, and another puUeth down, what profit have they then but labour? 34 When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will the Lord hear? 35 'He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing? 36 So it is with a man that fasteth for his sins, and goeth again, and doeth the same : uty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a man lovf tb nothing better.

I WILL thank thee, O Ix)rd and King, and praise thee, God my Saviour : I do give praise unto thy name: 3 For thou art my defender and helper, and hast pre- served my body from destruction, and from the snare of the slanderous tongue, and from the lips that forge lies, and host been my helper against mine adversaries: 3 And hast delivered me, according to the multitude of thy mercies and greatness of thy name, from f the teeth of them that were ready to devour me, and out of the hands o.'such as sought after my life, and from the manifold afRictions which I had ; 4 From the choking of fire on every side, and from the midst of the fire which I kindled not ; 5 From the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean tongue, and from lying words. 6 By an accusation to the king from an unrighteous tongue, my soul drew near even tinto death, my life was near to the hell beneath. 7 They compassed me on every side, and there was no man to help me: I looked for the succour of men, but there wasnone. 8 Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and upon thine acts of old, how thou deliverest such as wait for thee, and savest them out of the hands of the enemies. 9 Then lified I up my supplication frQB» the earth and prayed for deliverance from death.

BECAUSE of the sins which ye have committed before God, *ye shall be led away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodonosor king of the Babylonians. 3 So when ye be come unto Babylon, 'ye shall remain there many years, and for a long season, namely, seven generations: and after that I will bring you away peaceably from thence. 4 'Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the nations to fear. 5 Beware therefore that ye in no wise be like to strangers, neither be ye afraid of them, when ye see the multitude before them and biehind them, worshipping them. 6 But say ye in your hearts, O Lord, 'we must worship thee. • 7 For 'mine angel is with you, and I myself caring for your souls. 8 As for their tongue, it is polished by the workman, and they themselves are gildeid and laid over with gold; yet are they but false, ^and cannot speak. 9 And taking gold, as it were for a virgin that loveth to go gay, they make crowns for the heads of thefr gods. 7X Apocrypha. 10 Somctimcn tliio the prinH convey from their grxlii gold anil itilver, and lientow it upon ihemnelvei. 1 1 Yea, they will give thereof lo the || common harlot*, and dci k thrm as men with Karmentu, [Wing] goe set up in the temple, their eyes be 'full of dust through the feet of them that come in. 18 And as the || doors are maon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and birds, and the cats also. 23 Uy this ye may know that they arc no gods ; 'therefore fear them not. 24 Notwithstanding the gold that is about them to make them beautiful, except they wiiw off the rust, they will not shine: for neither when they were molten did they feel it. 25 The things wherein there is no breath are bought for ||a most high price. 26 They are borne upon shoulders, having no feet, whereby they declare unto men that they be nothing worth. 27 They also that serve them are ashamed: for if they fall :o the ground at any time, "they cannot rise up again of them- selves :ne':'r, if one set them upright, can they move of them- selves: ne .X, if they be bowed down, can they make them- selvesstra ^iit: buttheyset{|giftsbcforethem,asimtodeadmen. 28 As foi' the things that are sacrificed unto them, their priests sell and || abuse: in like manner their wives lay up part thereof in salt ; but unto the poor and impotent they give nothing of it. 29 Menstruous women, and women in child-bed, "eat their sacrifices: by these things ye may know that they are no gods: fear them not. 30 For how can they be 'called gods? because women set meat before the gods of silver, gold, and wood. 31 And the priests sit in their temples, having their clothes rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads. 32 They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead. 33 The priests also take off their garments, and clothe their wives and children. 34 Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or good, 'they are not able to recompense it : they can neither set up a king, nor put him down. 35 In like manner they can neither give riches nor money: though a man make a vow unto them, and keep it not, they will not require it. 36 'They can save no man from death, neither deliver the weak from the mighty. 37 They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, nor help any man in his distress. 38 They can shew no mercy to the widow, nor do good »o the fatherless. 39 Their gods of wood, and which are 'overlaid with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the moun- tain : they that worship them shall be confoiuided. 40 How should a man then think and say that they are gods, when even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them? 72 BARUCH.

"Tbi Word, the artiflcer of all thing*, who liti apon the [foar] ChcrO' bim, holding together all thingi, being niBnireileil to men, gmve to u. iie rouii/ortned Goepel, Mtnated by one apirit." 80 Mid Irenieug in tlie middle of century lecond, reckoning from the Lord's Moention. Earlier than ho, Tatian had formed a Harmony, titled the DurniARON, or Throuigh4he-Four, And itiU earlier than he, Justin Martyr, Tatian'a own teacher, telle u« what " the apostlei in the memoiVf by them, which are called UoiPiu," laid. And those Gospels, he tells us, were, in his day, publicly read as of sole and unique authority in tlie churches, as the Old Testament was in the synagogues. So that it is beyond rational question, from these and other proofs, that between ttie death of St. John and the time that Justin wrote, the Four GosPia,a had, by silent and spontaneous consent of the holy martyr Church, arisen to a universal, unquestioned, nnrivalled authority. It was not by decrees of councils or any arbitrary authority, but by unanimous oathoUo concurrence, that the evangelical Canon was adopted. But there was a Gospel, that is, a gospel-matter, a gospel-history, \)eforo there were the four written Uospel-books. Our Saviour's deeds, words, death, and resurrection, being the very essence and substance of the Gos- pels, existed in the minds and memory, in the heart and soul of the living Church with great fullness and completeness before the four evangelists wrote. The twelve apostles had been by Jesus chosen as his eye and ear witnesses; and after his death they were the official rehearsers of the nar- ratives. " Beginning at Jerusalem," where the works and words of Jesus were well known, endued with power from on high, they repeated the story of Jesns and him crucified. This oral Igospel the Church accepted from these first eye-witnesses ; and it formed the complete body of tho Christian fikith. Hearers and spectators would sometimes commit to parchment memoranda of particular sayings, discourses, or doings of Jesus. And these would be of various authenticity, arrangement, and extent. In time, more extended and completer, yet imperfect narratives, would bo composed, and come into the possession of many private Christians and most of tho Churches. Thus there existed an oral and documentary gospcl-mattcr before the four Gospel-books, This living oral gospel had a peculiar power to it during the time when its utterances came from the original inspired apostolic lips, and, though in a less degree, from the reports of those who had heard the apostles. Even after the written Gospels had come into existence, and nntil late toward the close of tlie second century, a feeling of interest in behalf of tho oral tradition over the recorded letter pervaded many hearts. "I do not ttiink," says Papiae, soon after the close of the first century, " that I derived so much benefit from books as from the Uving voice of those who are still surviving." His preference was this : " If I met with any one who has been a follower of the elders," (the apostles and their contemporaries,) " I made it a point to inquire what were tlte declarations of the elders ; what was said by Andrew, Peter, or Philip; what by Thomas, James, John, Matthew, or any other of the disciples of our Lord ; what Aristion (Luke T) and the presbyter John, disciples of our Lord, relate."

The TorUal roktioni between Ihn thr«o f]oipeIf are thu* well dracribcd liy Alfiird : " FirHl, perhapn, wi; •hull have thrco, llvu, or luuro wurUi ideu- tieitl ; tlipn M many wholly diMtinct ; thvn two claiiic* or luoro, cxprciied ill Ihn Hamu nrorda, but UiircriiiK in order; then a clauiio contained in ono or two, and not In tho third ; thvn luvoral wordi identical ; then a claUHO not wholly diatinct, bn ' npparcntly inconiiitent ; and to forth, with recar- ronce of the taioa ar iry and auoinaloni alteration!, coiucidencoi, luid tranipoiiitioni." IlicRo agreements and variatinnR cannot be explained on the theory held by lotno writort that one evanguliitt copied from another. Neither can they be explained on the aiiumption that tiio Oospela are tranalated from a common original dociiraont. Nor would they appear in tho style of »ov- eral porfcctly nepnrate and independent narrators of tho iumo trunsaetiunH- The only solution, as tho best biblical scholars now agree, is to bo found in the statement given above. Our (Jospels are the locord of tho oral uarra- tivei and urittnn memoranda of tho apostolio eye-witnesses and ear-wit. Besses, naturally falling into these mingled uniformities and varieties. Of the general comparison u; the Oospels, tiie following are a very few of the interesting results t I. Two, Mathew and Luke, have a proper beginning, middle, and end, namely ! 1. The Early Life of Jesus to his Ministry; 2. Ills Ministry; and S. His Hnflbring, Resurrection, and Aitcension. The other two, Mark and John, with the beginning nearly omitted, have only tho middle and tho end. All are full toward the end, as if tho Redeemer's suQerings were by all held as the supreme point of interest. II. There are but about twenty-five verses in Mark which have no par- allel in either Matthew or Luke; yet Mark is often more full and fresh in his narrative than either of his parallels ; and it is curious to note that Matthew and Lni tains the undoubted Christ of Luke, and the Epistle to the Romans is by all pronounce! auttientic. So that in Paul we have a fifth Gospel of the strongest kind, corroborating the other four.

ANABAPTISTS, oa " MUKSTER BAPTISTS," a Oerman sect which arose during the sixteenth century, who, under the pretext that Christ himself was about to assume all government, bid deflanee to all magistratea, laws, and every restraint Munser, a fanatic, aasumed the leadership, and, at the head of a large army, attempted to propagate the new faith by force of arms. He was aoon overoome, captured, and executed by the elector of Saxony. His followers were scattered, and a party of them settled at Hunster, whence their name. Here they established themselves, deposed tho magistrates, confiscated estates, and deposited all treasure for common uee. They called their city Mount Zion, invited all of their faith to assemble, and proclaimed that they would reduce the world to their doctrines. Tho city was, after a long siege, taken by the army of tho Catholio bishop, and their leaders punished by death. The diatingoishing 4 features of their creed were, first, in eommon with other Baptists, the baptism ol believen by immersion, denying the efloacy of Infant baptism i second, that all civil law was an encroachment on the rights of Christiana, and that all dlstlno> tions of birth and rank should be abolished ; third, the eommunitt doctrine of equality In possession of wealth ; fourth, the patriarchal gnvemmnnt and u*agas in respcot to marriage, Including plurality of wives, Thn taking of Miinnter was the death-blow to the sect, and although scattered over Germany, Switior- land, and Holland, they dwindled and disappeared, merging in other factions or returning to the Romish faith. ANQELITES, so called from their place of concourse, Angetnum, In the city of Alexandria ; a sect of the fifth century, who held the persons of the Trinity to be distinct a common deity pervading all, and each to be a god through partici- pating in thia deity. Also called Sevsrites and Theodoaians. ANTflROPOMORPHITES, an ancient heretic aect who supposed God to be human in form, interpreting Genesis literally. ANTINOMIAKS, a sect founded by John Agrioola about 1538. They held that under tho gospel dispensation, the law is neither of use nor binding ; that, aa Christ assumed our sins, neither good works will promote the salvation of the elect nor evil works hinder it ; that the decalogue was abrogated by the gospel, and should no longer be made the rule of life. During Cromwell's protectorate they spread in England, ever maintaining the impossibility of one of the elect displeasing God. ANTI-SABBATARIANS cUim that the Jewish Sabbath was but a typical form, not binding on Christians, and that no new Sabbath was established by Christ Therefore, they avoid the " observance of days and times." APHTHARDGCITES.— See EutyohiaLS. APOLLINARISTS, oa APOLLINARIANS, firom ApoIUnaria, bishop of Laodicea. Thia sect, in the fourth century, denied the humanity of Christ, maintaining that his divine nature supplied the place of the intelleotaal in nan. APOSTOOLIANS,— See Mennonitea. AQUARIANS,— See Encratitea. ABCHONITES, a sect of the second century, who claimed to have revelationa to the efllBct that the world was created by the higher order of angela, arekonttB, To evil demons they aacribed the creation of woman. ARIANS, a sect founded in the fourth century by Arioa, of Alexandria. They held that Christ was created by God, and tiierefore not oo-etemal, but inferior in nature, though the first and highest of created beings. Since the time of Aritts, the heretical views u.#e also extended to the Holy Spirit, aubordinat- ing that to the Son. ARMENIANS, originating in Armenia, but spread over the entire East They originally were a branch of the Greek Ohnrch, and olaim a very ancient translation of the whole Bible. Their church government is patriarchal ; their worship similar to that of the Greek Chureh. There ia probability of their return to the mother Church. ASCITES See Montanista. ATHAN ASIANS, the believera in the dootrinea advanced by Athanasins, in the fourth century, at Alexandria, and afterward embodied in a creed by Hilary. They believe in the unity in trinity of the Godhead, that " The Father is mode of none, neither created nor begotten ; the Son ia of the Father alone, neither made nor created, but begotten ; the Holy Ghost ia of the Father and the Son, neither made^ nor created, nor begotten, but proeteding." It ia the " orthodox" creed. ATHEISTS believe there is no^Sod nor Supreme Ruler ; that nil things exist without law, design, or cause— by chance. " The fool hath vuul was expelird by the Brahmins, and iprood to Japan, Thibet, China, and Ctylun, where it roniaini tha aatabliibed religion itill.

Thair raligioa is a mixtara of Christianity, Mohammedanism, itnd Stuioisni. CAINITES, a leot of the leoond century, who reverenoed every one rtpfo- bated in the Scriptures, giving Cain the highest honor. CALIXTINES, a division of the HuMitos, which so*. CALVINISTS derive thoir nnmo from John Calvin, a native of Picanly, bcm in 1509. Tho few artiolea which diatinguiali thorn from Arminlana are t 1. Tha^ Ood has chosen a certain number, before the foundation of the world, who shall Inherit everlasting glory, and that the rest he has seen At to ordain to everlasting punishment for their sins, to the praiseof his justice. — Election or predeatlnsilon. 2. That Christ died for the elect only | for if he died for all, then would all be aaved, or a part of his mission would be frustrated. But it is certain that all for whom ha died will be saved ; therefore hia aalvation was intended for the fore- ordained alone Particular redemption. 3. Tha total depravity of all mankind, and the impossibility of redemption save through faith in Christ — Total depra- ^ ity. 4. litat whom Ood hath chosen he will at some time eflTectually call, through the grace of Ohrbt. — Effectual calling. S. That those whom Ood hath called can never finally fall from grace. — ^The persovorance of the sainta. OAMERONIANS, a Scotch sect, followers of Richard Cameron, whoreftised the indulgences grantod by Charles II, on the ground that their acceptance vir- tually acknowledged the authority of tho king in mattera of conscience. They still exist in small numbers— a branch of tha Praaby tarian Ohuroh— in Sootiand, Ireland, and the United Statoa. CAMPBELLITES.— See Disciplea. CAPUTI ATT, enthusiasts of the twelfth eentnry, who undertook to level all disiinotions and to bring the world back to its primitive simplicity. OABAITES.— See Karaites. C ARM ATHITES, followera of Carmath, who undertook to overthrow the faiUi of tho MuHHulmans in tho ninth century. Thoy believed themselves to bo guided by angels and opposed by demons. CAROLOST ASIANS, followers of Carolostadt who diflered from Luther in the doctrine of the real presence in the euchariat C ARPOCRATIANS, a sect adopting the creed of the Gnostics, which see. CELLITES, so called from their abstemious life in colls ; a sect who under- took to make up for the deficiency and negligence of tha clergy by devoting themselves to good works. CERINTHIANS, followera of Cerinthns, who denied the divinity of Jeinn, but maintained that the Spirit took poaaeesion of him at the time of his baptism, and deserted him at his passion ; so that Jeina, tho mere man, died and roa« agiun, but that Christ, the Divinity, suiTercd not at all. CHRISTIANS, a denomination which sprang up about the beginning of th« present century, and have so rapidly extended that they number some two hun> dred thousand communicants, and have upward cf two thousand preachers, and several prominent institutions of learning, besides a periodical literature of thoir own. They believe that all Scriptures were written by inspiration, and should be our rulo of life ; that salvation comos c.nly through faith in Christ and is open to all ; and that those who fall from grace, as well aa those who never re- pent, will be lost They baptise by immersion, and observe the aacrameut of the Lord's Supper. Acknowledging the equal divine essence in Ood, and hia Son, and Spirit they deny a trinity of three equal panoni in Ood. Their church government is essentially congregational, their aosaions compriied of ministers and delegates baring only advisory powers. CHRISTIANS OF ST. THOMAS, an East Indian sect whoae creed is a mixture of Romish, Protestant and Syrian. Their priests are allowed to marry^ and nro distinguished by the tonsuro. Thoy acknowledge the laoraments o tho cucharist — denying the presence — conaocrutioa of priests, and of baptism CHURCH OF ENGLAND.— See Protestant Episcopaliana. HISTORY OP ALL RELIGIONS.

A few still retain this faith. COLORED METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA, aecodors from tho Methodist Episcopal Church in 1820. Their creed is un- changed, but their government diflers in that tboy stylo their bifhops supcrin- tundcnta, and elect them every four years. COME-OUTERS, ao called because they '.lave come out of the Tarious roli- giouK denominations, and have aasumcd no distinctive name. They believe that all Christians should be perfectly free in their faith without any trammels of creed ; that war and tho assumption of judgment and authority by man aro un- trarruDted. They have no church government nor organization. CONGREOATIONALISTS, " Obthodoi."— John Robinson, pastor of the church which, in 1608, was driven from England to Am"' jrdam, is called the father of Congregationalism. It was from his congregation that tho Pilgrims came, who were tho first sett'crs of New England at Plymouth, whence their doctrines have spread over all this country. Their chief tenets aro that each congregation of Christians, bound together by a solemn compact, is in and of itself conipli 10, and competent to exercise all the offices of a church, entirely indppendont of any other human authority. They baptize both infants and ndulta by sprinkling, and observe the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Though their churches aro indepcndert of each other, tho members of tho church are amenable to its authority. Unitarians wore originally a division from the Con- gregationalists about 17C0 ; hence the distinctive designation, " Orthodox." COPTS, an Egyptian sect of Jacobites, or Monophysts. Though now sunk alinu^t to tho level of the Arab, they claim to be descendants of the first Chrv.- tinns, and nu jnl>er one of the apostles among their saints. Their service and church government are essentially similar to those of tho Romish Church. The head of the Church is tho Patriarch, chosen by lot from the monks. Next in authority are twelve bishops, who, as well us the Patriarch, arc not allowed to miirry ; next in order aro arch-priests, then the priests, and, last, tho deacons. They wcro once very numerous, comprising millions of believers, but now will num\)er scarcely one hundred and fifty thousand souls. COVENANTERS.— See Reformed Preshyterians. CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIANS, originated in the Cumberland Pres- bytery of Kentucky. The cause of their separation I'rom the Synod was that they had licensed uneducated young men to preach, to supply the lack ci' edu- oatiKl ministers in the then sparsely settled regions west of the Alleghenies. In course of time they formed a Qonoral Assembly and organized thu full Presby- terian form of government among themselves. The chief points of difierence in d(N:trino are the denial of the doctrine of election as entirely indopoudont of faith or conduct, they declaring that Christ died for all men, that all wha believe in him aro saved, and that infants are saved through His grace. D AMI ANISTS, a sect of the sixth century, followers of Damian, a bishop of Alexandria. They denied that each p .son of tho Trinity was Ood, but main- tained that they partook of the divine eaaenoe, and, by virtue of a common divinity, were Qod. I>.\NCERS, a sect that sprang up in Flanders during the last century. They cliiimed to receive extraordinary manifestations during the extiitoment following violent danoing. DAVIDIeJTS, followers ot an enthusiast of the sixteenth century, named David Ooorge, who claimed to be th«t true Messiah sent by Qod to peoplo heaven. DEISTS believe in one Ood, an infinite, eternal, omnipotent Deity, but clum that nature and reoaun are his only maulfostutions to man. DISCIPLES, also called CA5IPBELLITE BAPTISTS, wore founded by Alexander Campbell in western Penn.iy Ivania. He was one of the ablest theo- logians and polemics of this country, and undertook to unite the various secedera into one church, to be gov rued by the primitive rules and faith of Christianity. Their only creed is the Bible. They reject all troditiona and deductiona of men, requiring faith in Christ and repentance before baptiam. 7hey recognizii tho triple essence of tho Godhead, but object to the word Trinity. Alexander Campbell diod in 18C6. His followers are very numerous in all the Western States. DONATISTS, followers of Donatus, of the fourth century. They mawtained that Christ was of Icso importance than Qod, though of tho some essonoe. They also claimed that tho Church was corrupt, and that there were no good men in it ; therefore, thoy r ebaptized all who joined them. They wero efieotually over* come by the papal power. DRUSES, inhabitants of Mount ^Lebanon, whose creed is peculiar to them- selves, and somewhat veiled in mystery. They believe in a Creator, and assign to Christ the second place in importance. They also profess to receive the Koran. DULCINISTS, followers of Dulcinus, who, in the fourteenth century, main- tained that tho law uf grace given by Moses was suporsedod by the law of love given by Christ, which will last to the end. DUNKERS were originally established in Pennsylvania. Tho unmarred portion of the congregations are communists ; the married retire to a separate part of the community. They are severista, and deny eiemnl punishment, but maintain that Christ and the saints preach the gospel to such as die out of the faith. DURSIANS, a people formerly innabiting Mount Lebanon, Tvhose religion was peculiar to themselves and entirely shrouded in mystery. They wero probably the descendants of the Druses. DUTCH REFORMED, now aimply REFORMED CHURCH, originated in Amsterdam, and was very early instituted in this country at Now York, the first church being bulH where tho Battery now stands, at the foot of Broadway. It is purely Calvinistic, and Presbyterian in government. It h.is a liturgy, whose use is elective by tho clergy. It has many adherents in all porta of the country. EBIONITES, a sect of early Jewish Christians, who received tho Old Testa- ment and admitted the Mcssiahship of Jesus Christ, but rather in a subordinate and temporal manner, still adhering to Mosaic laws and ceremonies. There is great similarity between them nnd tho Nozarenes, and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between their doctrines. EFFRONITES, a sect of the sixteenth century, who denied the divinity of the Holy Spirit, and for baptiam abraded tbe forehead till it bled, (ind then poured oil in the wound. ELXAITES, followera of Elxai, who mingled Chriatianity, Judaism, and I^ganism, accepting and rejecting a part of each. ENCRATITES, a sect of the second century, who rojootod animal food and forbade marriage. ENGLISH PRESBYTERIANS, a denomination of dissenters from the Estab- lished Church, whose creed is similar to the Presbyterian, but whose church government is that of the Independents. They are very numerous. EQUINI ANS, so called from Equinus. Their belief was that Chvist'a death availed only to the faithful. EPHRATA BAPTISTS, a diviaion of Dunkera. See Sevsntu Day Baptists. EPISCOPALIANS, members of the Protestant Episcopal Ohnrch. This church has for its origin the rupture between Henry VIII and the Pope. When the king was excommunicated, he declared himself the head of the Church of England, and appointed Bishop Cranmer to perfect its organization. During the long reign of Elizabeth it assumed tho form and importance which have markca it since. The American Protestant Episcopal Church is the same as tho Church of England, its liturgy only having been sufficiently changed to suit the differ- ence of civil government. In Englsnd, the king or queen is supreme head, tho Archbishop of Canterbury Primate ; beside there are the Archbishop of York, HISTORY OP ALL RELIQIOITS. twenty-fiTa bidhopi appointed by the king, and priests and deacons. The doc- trines of the charoh are those of the thirty-nine articles. In this country, the ohuroh government is delegated to bishops, priests, and deacons, and is directed Iiy the canons of a Ooneral ConTention, consisting of a house of bishops and a house of delegates, clerical and lay, from each diocese. Local matters are re- ferred to an annual dioceaan convention, also both clerical and lay. Rectors are chosen by the churches and installed by the bishop ; wardens are chosen by the church, the vestry by the parish. This denomination holds a very pn^ ninent place for influence and respectability in this country. ERASTIANS, followers of Erastiis, an eminent tierman divine, who main- tained the church to be entirely subservient to the states aoil wulumiiiuiUiurity of itself. EUDOXIANS, a sect of Arians, of the fourth oentnry. EDNOMIANS, also a branch of the Arians. EUSTATHIAN8, followers of Enstathius, in the fourth century, who refused any other bishop, though he was deposed by Arians.

FALASHAS, a people of Abyssinia who have an independent Jewish govern- ment They are probably descendants of the ancient Jews, but have lost all knowledge of the Hebrew language. They have the Old Testament translated into their language. FARMOYI ANS, a divinon of Unitarians, now extinct FETICHISM, the lowest form of idolatry. Its votaries worship some maforial object, either an animal, a tree, a stone, etc., selected apparently at random. It prevails among Africans and the most degraded of Asiatics. FIFTH MONARCHY MEN, an English sect who, from the time of Cromwell, maintained that the time for a fifth universal monarch had arrived, when Christ ■hould reign in person. FLAGELLANTS, a sect of the thirteenth pcutury, who believed the efficacy of the scourge equal to that of Ivipiism or other sacrament. They lasted nearly two centuries. FR ATRES ALBATI, a soot of the fifteenth century, so called from their white raiment They endeavored to renew the war against the Turks in Palestine. They were severists, and fully believed in the efficacy of mortification of the body in attaining the forgiveness of sins. FRATRICELLI, an appellation given to reformed Franoiscnns, and after- Yard applied to many orders of heretics. FREE THINKERS, a name adopted by a schism of the Trinitarian Univer- •alists, who rejected first one doctrine, then another, till finally they are practi- cally infidels. Fr.EE-WILL BAPTISTS, a comparatively new denomination, having been founded in New Hampshire less than a century ago, yet it numl)ers about sev- enty-five thousand communicants. They believe in the freedom of the human will, in opposition to the Calvinistic belief. Their church government and ereed do not differ essentially from those of all Baptists. FREE COMMUNION BAPTISTS, a division of BaptisU who admit to their communion members of other churches who have nut been immersed. FRENCH I'BOPHETS, a sect of fanatics who in the latter part of the seven- teenth century proclaimed themselves inspired prophets. Theirtimesof pi-ophecy were preceded by violent physical spasms and twitchings of the limbs. These eontinued till they ataggered and fell, when the Holy Ohost came upon them, and they uttered whatever came into their minds, the burden of their prophecy being the immediate approach of the year of jubilee and the redemption of the world, mingled with maledictions and threats against the Pope and his votaries. FRIENDS, OR QUAKERS. —This denomination was founded by George Fox, who was born in En{;laiid in 1624. Thoy suiTored severe persecution from their inception at home, and have struggled to an honored place among God's people. To this country William Penn introduced them wlien he founded his colony, and they are mure numerous iu Peunsylvauia, especially in and about Philadelphia, than elsewhere. They discard all outward forms and ceremonies, arc orthodox in their faith in the Bible, but believe tliat the conscience is implanted in man by the Holy Spirit as the guide of life. Their worship is enlirely infi>rmal, each Friend speaking as the spirit moveth him or her. G ALENISTS, followers of Galen, a Mennonite, who extended communion to all believers. OALLICAN CHURCH, the established church of France— Romish. GAZARES, a party of Albigenses, who were pursued to Gazaro by the Pop«. GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH This was founded by Zwingli, a Swiss, contemporary with Luther. Afterward Calvin headed this church, and gave it the firm footing it has since maintained. The Heidelberg Catechism is the foundation of their faith. Their church government is strictly Presbyterian. They were early introduced into this country, and are now spread over the entiro West and South — the two divisions. North and South, having reunited. Thia church absorbs a large proportion of the Protestant German population, GERMAN SEYENTH-DAY BAPTISTS, a community founded by Conrad Pcysel, in 1728, at Mill Creek, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where they still exist The chief tenet in which they differ fn)m other Baptists is evident from their appellation, they maintaining that the seventh day should be observed as the Sabbath. Their dress consists of a white robe, like that of the Capuchian monks. Their life ia one of simplicity, soberneas, and charity, devoted to holy pursuita. GLASSITES, ao called from John Glass, their founder ; n division of Scotch Independents. GNOSTICS, a generic name for a liody of philosophers who, in the first cen- tury, mingled Oriental theology and Greek philosophy with Christianity, and supposed they held the true theory of all religion. Rejecting the revelation of Moses, they classed all things under three heads — material, animal and spirit- ual. All evil tlicy attributed to eternal matter, supposing it to bo beneath the dignity of the Deity to originate any thing noxious. All intelligence they clamed had its origin in aeons, or emanations from the Divine Mind ; that these emanations were capable of reproducing like intelligences, some male, some female, so there could be no end to their dispeminatioo. They were divided into numerous sects, prominent among which were the Cerinthians, ELlunites, NIcolaitans, Valeutiuians. GOSPELLERS, a name of reproach given by papists to all Protestants, but especially to the followers of WickliSe. GREEK CHURCH comprises the greater part of the Christian population of Russia, Greece, Moldavia, and Wallachia, beside many in Turkey and Austria. It separated from the Latin Church at the time of the dismemberment of the Roman Empire, when Rume and Constantinople were each striving to bn the head. It differs from that Church in that it dues not acknowledge the supremacy of the Pope nor v !li infallibility. Its furm of worship is almost entirely cere- monial, though it admits no statues except those of silver or copper, and calla upon saints merely as mediators. The observance of feasts and fasts is strictly enjoined, and celibacy is not compulsory on its clergy, though tliey aro nut per- mitted to marry after taking orders. Full faith is given to the doctrine of con- substantiation. That the lluly Ghost proceeds from the Father and not from the Son, is a fundamental doctrine. They also believe in predestination. Though now quite different from the Romish Church, the twu were uriginally one, and each has made changes in its rites and obsiervances ; but it is hardly jubt to considur this a mere offshoot of the Romish Church. HARMONISTS, a sect originating in Wurtemberg in 17S0. Thoy took um- brage at certain changes mode in the service by tlie government and refused to attend the parish church ; and when the authorities undertook todisuiplino them they emigrated to this country, arriving in Pennsylvania in 1803. After making several settlements in that State and in Indiana, thoy finally settled in Ecunoni v, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburg, whore they have formed a community, having every thing in common. They are Protestants, but profess universal toleration, maintain strict morals, enjoin the rigid observance of the Sabbath, and do nut marry. They have never extended the sect beyond the original congregation. H ATTEMISTS, so called from Pontian Yon Hattem, who, a1>out the close of the seventeenth century, was degraded from his ufRce of pastor on the charge uf maintaining heretical doctrines. They were fatalists, and denied the diatinciiun of good and evil morally. They also denied the fall of man and the expiation uf Christ, and maintained that the divine lu-.vs wore nut binding on us, inasmuch AS, being formed by the Creator, uolhinjj iu us could be diapledoing to him. mSTOEY OF ALL BELIQIONS. HKNKICIANS, foHowein of a monk, Henry, who, in the twelfth century, attoinptoil to reronn the abuses in the Churuh. He wandered OTor Switserland and Uermany, and finally died in priwm at Toulouse. He ezolaimed against the curcmouies of tho Church and infant baptism. HERACLEONITES, an early Christian sect, followers of Heracleon, who rejected the Old Tcitamont tn toto, and denied tho creation of tho world by tho f^ja of Qud, but claimed that he was only the cause uf its creation indirectly. HERMOOENIANS, a sect of the second century, followers of Hermogenes, who claimed that matter was the source of all evil, and the inceptive principle of which all things, sonlg as well as things material, were formed ; that this matter ■:7a8 original, uniformly corrupt, and eternal, and was only changed, nut created, by tho Deity. niCKSITES, a dirisir-a of Friends who, in 1827, separated from the Ortho- dox Friends under the leadership of Elias Hicks. They deny the doctrine of the Trinity, and maintain that the true guide of life is the light within ; that the Scriptures are only an emanation from tho fountain of light, and not tho foun- tain itself, and therefore inefficacious save as accompanied and guided by tho Spirit within. A large number have been attracted from the Society of Friends to this now doctrine. In manner of life and worship they do not differ from the Orthodox societies, but the Socinian doctrines adopted by them have caused an incurable dissension between them. The Hicksites have meetings in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, and Indiana. They are almost entirely coniiued to this country. IIOFFM ANISTS, a small sect of the sixteenth century, followers of Professor Daniel Huffman, of Uelmstadt, who inveighed against the teachings of the old philosophers, and vigr>rou8ly opposed Rationalism, which then threatened great harm to the uoctrirji of the Reformation. They were only temporary. IIOPKINSIAKS, OK HOPKINSIAN CALVINISTS, so called from the expounder of th'jir faith, Rev. Samuel Hopkins, D. D., pastor of a church at Newport, Rhode Island. They claim that be expanded and improved upon the doctrines of Calvin, and therefore claim the second appellation. Their peculiar doctrines are stated as follows : that true virtue and real holiness consist in dis- interested benevolence toward a Universal Being, including God and all intelli- gent creatures ; that all sin has its source in, and is essentially, selfishness, tho whole decalogue being aimed at this, and this alone constituting enmity against Ood ; that there is no promise of regenerating grace to the deeds of the unre- gencrato ; that the impotenoy of sinners, with respect to believing in Christ, is nut natural, but moral : that, in order to faith in Christ, a sinner must approve in his heart of the divine conduct, even though Qod should cast him off forever, which, however, neither implies love to misery nor hatred of happiness ; that the infinitely wise and holy God has exerted his omnipotent power in such a manner as he purposed should be followed with the existence of moral evil and its entrance into the system ; that, therefore, the introduction of sin is, upon the whole, for the general good ; that repentance must be antecedent to saving faith in Christ ; that, though men became sinners by Adam according to a divine constitution, yet they have, and are accountable for, no other sins than personal ; and, lastly, that though believers are justified through Christ's righteousness, yet his righteousness is not transferred to them, they receiving the benefit, not the thing itself. HUGUENOTS, an epithet applied to the Protestants of the sixteenth century in France. They suffered the most terrible persecutions, nearly eight thousand having been massacred in a single day (St. Bartholomew's, in 1572) by decree of Charles IX. In 1598 thoy obtained tho privilege to worship God according to their own consciences, by the decree of Nantes, granted by Henry IV, which they enjoyed till 1681, when Louis XIV revoked the decree and let loose per- secution against them once more. Then many of them fled to America and settled principally in South Carolina. Those who remained were alternately persecuted and tolerated till tho Revolution set them free, there having been no povror since sufficiently powerful to openly perseoute them. HUMANITARIANS, oa PHILANTHROPISTS, niunes applied to those •ects who believe in the mere humanity of Christ, denying his divinity and asserting him to have been a mere man. The most prominent advocates of this duotriuc are Unitarians, who, fn)m their former leader, Rev. Theodore Parker, of Buatun, afterward of San Francisco, are called Parkkritks. HUSSITES, followers of John Huss, an ardent reformer, who was burned nt the Btako in Prague, in 1615. Though he was of most mild and quiet disposi- tion, bis followers, after his martyrdom, waged a fieroo and successful war against King Sigitmund. Finally, a compromise was ogroed upon by tho intervention of the council at Basil, after continual war fur nine years — from 1624 to 1633, From different locations, they were distinguished by the names, Cauxtimu and Taboritis. HUTCHINSONIANS, followers of John Hutchinson, once steward to the Duke of Somerset, afterward expounder of the Scriptures. Ho claimed that "11 necessary knowledge was contained in the Bible, and that God had imparted it in the Hebrew language, which he greatly reverenced. In 1724 he publitaed the first, and in 1727 the second volume of " Moses Prinoipia," in which he en- deavored to deduce from the Hebrew illnstrations the whole law of nature. IBERIANS, OR GEORGIANS, a braneh of the Greek Church inhabiting the country whence their name is taken, who also have some distinctive ceremonies. ICONOCLASTS, a name applied to all who, previous to the Reformation, opposed the worship of images then common in the Romish Church, of whom the most extreme vented their disapprobation by violently destroying or break- ing the images, whence the name. INCORRUPTIBLES, a sect of Alexandria in the reign of Jastinian, who maintained that Christ, after his conception, was nnaffeoted by any human neces- sities or desires, so that he suffered hunger, thirst, pain, etc., only in appearance. INDEPENDENTS, a general name applied to those denominations of Chris- tians who oppose ecclesiastical government in their churches, but maintain each church to be absolutely independent in government, without appeal. They are very numerous, and form an important element among the denominations of this country, England, and the Netherlands. INOH AMITES, a small sect of dissenters who withdrew fh>m the establish- ment in the eighteenth century, and differed from other Independents on the doctrine of tho Trinity, they maintiuning that the Divine Threo were one and inseparable. After the death of their leader they were merged in the other denominations. IRYINGITES, an independent sect, widely spread but nowhere numerous, followers of Rev. Edward Irving, who withdrew from the English Church in 1832- ISMAELIANS, a sect of Mohammedans who claim Arabia descent from Ismael. They are now found in Hindoston. ISRAELITES.— See Jews. JACOBITES, BO called from their renowned leader in the sixth eentury, Jacob Baradzi, a sect of Mesopotamia and Syria. They hold that Christ hod but one nature. JANSENISTS, followers of Cornelius Jansen, who, at Tpres, about 1640, proclaimed certain heresies which were afterward condemned by special bull of tho Pope. He claimed that God gave some precepts which it is impossible for man to obey ; that the influence of divine grace on the mind is irresistible ; that the human will is powerless either to receive or to reject the influences of grace ; that Christ died only for the elect; and also that the service should be conducted in the language of the hearers, and that true piety consists in inward holiness and not in outward observances. JAPANESE are idolaters, divided into two sects. The followers of Sinto believe in one Supreme being, who inhabits the highest heaven, whom they rev- erence too highly to worship. Their adoration is directed to a multitude of lesser deities who govern different departments of nature. After death the good go to a region just beneath heaven ; the bad wander eternally. Followers of Budsdo are very similar in belief to Buddhists of India. They believe in the transmigration of souls, and believe the wicked punished by inhabiting tlie bodies of beasts and reptiles. Every object in earth, air, and water is believed to have a presiding deity, and they accordingly worship thousands of idols. JESUITS, oa THE SOCIETY OF JESUS, a society of the Roman Catholio Church, which was established in 1540, by Ignatius Loyola. The order consists of two classes : Scholars, who take the vows of poverty, chastity, and can discon- tinue their connection or be dismissed ; and of Priests, who take the same vows, but whose connection with the Society cannot be severed. These latter are subdivided into spiritual coadjutors, who are the curators of souls, and members, or Jesuits of the Four Vows, to whom, in addition to the threo obligations mentioned, a fourth vow of obedience to any orders from proper authority is given. These latter are the peculiar propagandists of" the faith." From them the missionaries and secret emissaries are chosen. Their rules are guarded as a profound secret, but enough is known of them to give a clew to tho whole. They believe in the ultimate authority and infallibility of the Pope ; that tho motive mSTORT OF ALL RELIGIONS. of an mUod i* mon to b« considered than the action itaelf ; that in all coses the end jastifles the means ; that the offices of the Church are alone sufficient to save oven the most hardened criminaL They haye acted a Tery prominent part in the dissemination of the dootrines of their Church in this country, and arc now very numeroos in all paria of it, some as missionaries, others as teachers. JEWS, OK ISRAELITES, are the descendants in di^ct line from Jacob, or Israel, and through him from Abraham. The laws which they recognize are ooDtainsd in the Pentateuch, or Five Books of Moses. Their early history is re- lated in other parts of the Old Testament. Since the sacking of Jerusalem by Titus, A. D. 70, they have been scattered over the whole earth. They now number soma fire millions, of which the United States contain some seventy-five thousand. They are, as predicted, ' ' a scattered yet dir.tinct people,' ' never com- mingling with the nations among whom they live. The creed of the modem Jews, as stated by Maimonides, a Rabbi who lived in the eleventh century, is in rubstanoe as follows : Belief in Ood as the Creator, Oovemor, and Maker of all thin^^s, eternal ; in him as one, and that he alone hath been our Qod, is and for- ever shall be ; that the Creator is not corporeal, and there is no bodily essence to be compared to him ; that he is fii'st and lost, that nothing was before him nor shall be afler, and that he shall abide forever ; that he alone is to be worshiped ; that all the words of the prophets are true and spoken by inspiration ; that the prophet Moses was the chief of all wise men, post or future ; that the law was given by Moses ; that the law shall never be changed, and that Qod will give no other ; that God knows all thoughts and actions of men ; that Qod will regard those who obey his commands, and punish all transgressors ; that the Messiah is yet to come ; that the dead shall be raised in God's own time. This is the doctrine of the Conservative or Orthodox Jews, though recently a division, called Progressive or Rationalistic, deny many of these dogmas. KEITHIANS, a division of Friends who, under the leadership of George Keith, adopted the faith of the Baptists ; also called Baptist Quakers. KIRK, or Church of Scotland, was established in its present form in 1689. The Westminster Confession of Faith is the groundwork of their creed. Their worship is very simple. They have no liturgy, very few ceremonies, and do not observe fasts nor feasts. Their church government is delegated to the Kirk Ses- sion, the Presbytery, the Synod, and the General Assembly, ranking in dignity in the order mentioned. There have occurred several dissensions and consequent divisions of the Kirk, which are now in a fair way of settlement and reunion. LABADISTS, followers of Jean de Labadie, a Frenchman, who in the seven- teenth century maintained that the Church of Christ should be a community of sanctified persons, striving after perfection by the guidance of the Scriptures and the light of the Spirit given to the inward mind. The personal reign of Christ upon earth was strongly advocated by him. LAMATSM, the religion of the Buddhist inhabitants of Thibet, Mongolia and of hordes of Tartars. The Grand Lama, or Delai-Lama, is supposed to be the deity inhabiting the body of a human being, ana is worshiped accordingly. When the man dies, the spirit is supposed to have left the worn-out tenement, and to have taken up his abode in the body of some child, where he is discovered, by means of certain tokens, by the Lamas, and the worship is accordingly transferred. This religion is an offshoot of Buddhism, is very nearly coeval with it, and very simi- lar in rites and ceremonies. It is the faith of a very large portion of the human race, and has withstood the lapse of time and efforts of man to overthrow it. LAMPETIANS, followers of Lnmpetins, a monk of the seventeenth century, who maintained that, as man was born free, a Christian should be absolutely nntrammeled, and should act only •■ oonsoienoe prompted him. He therefore condemned the taking of vows. LATITUDIKARIANS, an epithet applied to certain liberal-minded mem- bers of the Church of England, who, in the seventeenth century, endeavored to reconcile the views of Episcopalians, Presbyteri^ms, and Independents, and by mutual compromise to establish an interoommunioation. They named a few primal principles which should be the ground, for reception to Christian com- munion, and endeavored to bring all to their views. LAZARISTS, OB LAZARITES, a French Roman Catholic order, also called Priests of the Mission. They attend to teaching and charitable missions. LE ADLYANS, so called from an English woman who r^laimed to have visions, •nd maintained that if Christians would heed the inward guide, the reign of peace would bo o car at baud. LEUCOPETRIANS, disciples of a fanatic uf the twelfth century, Lcucopetms by name, who rejected all forms and sacraments, and maintained that every soul was inhabited by a demon, which could be expelled only by continual pra- it to the Supreme Bqing. LIBERTINES, a sect of the sixteenth century, who maintained that the Deity pervaded the mind of man and woo the solo cause of h'.s actions ; thnt therefore the distinctions between good and evil were erroneous ; that the aim of religion was the union of the soul, or reason, with the Supreme Being, and after this union was formed, every thought and action must be perfect and blameless ; that the soul, so elevated, passed at death and became part of the Deity. Thesa doctrines led their votaries into excesses and enormiti .a of all kinds. Now the word ha i been applied to the practical results of their license. LOLLARDS, a Gorman sect, who denied the efficacy of many rites > f tho Romish Church, including absolution, extreme unction, and penance, claiming that the sacrifice of Christ availed for all. They r^ected infant baptism, and denied the efficacy of the sacrament They suffered severe persecution. This name is also applied to the followers of Wickliffe, in England. LUCIANISTS, so called from Lucian, a disciple of Marcion, who denied the immortality of the soul, but claimed it to be only material. Ue also condemned marriage. He also advocated the theory that the Father, from possessing the power of generation, had always been a father, and thus explained the doctrine of the CO- eternity of the Son. LCCIFERIANS, followers of Lucifer, Bishop of C^gliari, of the fourth cen- tury, a strenuous opposer of the Arians. He claimed the soul to bd material, passing from father to son. LUTHERANS, or EVANGELICAL LUTHERANS, a name firut applied as an epithet by enemies, but afterward adopted by the believers in the doctrines advanced by Martin Luther, in the sixteenth century. Their creed is sot forth in tho Augsburg Confession, prepared by Luther and Melancthon, and submitted to Charles V. They believed that those who bare faith in Christ to the end of their lives will be saved. Foreordination or predestination they explcin as the foreknowledge of God of this saving faith. They believe that all the perfection* of Christ's divinity were communicated to his humanity. He is ubiquitous, therefore it is possible for him to bo in and of the bread and wine offered in tha sacrament This denomination is very numerous in C'^ntinental Europe, and exists in considerable numbers in many parts of this country, where it baa several seats of learning and numerous periodicals. MACEDONIANS, followers of Macedonius, Bishop of Constantinople, who advanced the doctrine that the Holy Ghost was not a distinct member of the Godhead, but was a divine essence that pervaded the universe. This sect waa put down about the middle of the fourth century, soon after its rise. MAHOMET ANISM, or MOHAMMEDANISM.— Mahomet, or Mohammed, a native of Persia, in the sixth century, was by far the boldest, most skillful, and most successful pretender that has ever existed. He claimed to be the lost of tha prophets. The key of the doctrines found in the Koran, or Alkoran, is this ; True religion remains the same throughout all ages of the world, though it varies in form according to the condition of the people. Whenever it becom' s corrupt and men degenerate, it pleases God to renew it by sending prophets into tha world to remind the good of their allegiance. Of prophets he taught that no le;'.s than two hundred and twenty-four thousand had been sent into the world. Of these, three hundred and thirteen were apostles, sent for the special purpose of reclaiming mankind from infidelity, and six of them brought new laws for the guidance of God's people, numcly, Adnm, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed. The primal doctrine of the Koran is the unity of God, expressed daily by every true Islamite, in the words, "There is but one God, and Moham- med is his prophet" Their religion is divided into two parts, faith and practice. Under the former head are six propositions : Ist, belief in one God ; 2d, in his angels ; 3d, in the Scriptures ; 4th, in his prophets ; 5th, in the resurrection of the dead and in the judgment ; Cth, in God's absolute, inviolable decrees. Their practice embraces four distinctions: Ist, prayer, with purifications; 2d, alms, legal and voluntary; 3d, fasting; 4th, pilgrimage to Mecca, which is essential. They believe the Bible was given by inspiration of God, but thnt it has suffered so many corruptions that the copies in the hands of Jews and Christians are of very little credit, and that the Koran is the only safe guide. They believe tha original copy of this has been, from everlasting, inscribed on a vast tablet on God's throne, and that Gabriel was sent to the luwust heaven with a copy on pnpcr, which was transferred to Mohammed, and by him given to the faithful. Their year begins with the Ilegira, or anniversary of the £ight uf Mohanuned from 10 HISTORY OP ALL RELIGIONS. Mecca, A.

They have fanciful notions of both heaven and hell, both being portrayed vividly In the Koran. Kvcry Mohammedan is reqi'irod to utter five prayers a day, first washing and turning his face towprd Mecca ; and they aro enjoined to give alms, in or''"" '!.. '. Ihoir prayers may bo heeded. Fasting is held to be of utmost im- p< .iancfl. During the whole month Ramadam — in which they believe the Koran Was sent from heaven — they are required to fast from sunrise to sunset. The pilgrimage to Mecca Mahommcd declared to be of such importa.tce, that "ho who fails to perform it may as well die a Jew or a Christian." The orthodox Mohammedans entertain remarkably correct views of the Deity ; but there is a multitude of scots, some descending to abject idolatry. Another name for thin ibolief is I.ilamism. MANICIIEANS, followers of Manes, a heretic of the third century, who en- deavored to combine Christian doctrines with Orlontnl philosophy, lie main- tained there were two p. inciples — light and darkneu, from the first of which proceeded all good ; from tho second, all evil. lie taught the total corruption of all matter, and therefore denied the resurrection of tho body, holding that nothing n>.. lorial could be made worthy of immortality. Many of their doctrines are very similar to those of the Gnostics, They believed that the duality of good end evil pervaded all things; that the souls of men consisted of two parts — good nnd bad ; that the upper part of tho body was made by good spirits, the lower l)y evil i that tho Old Testament was tho inspiration of the evil principle, tho New Testament of the good principle. Like most Oriental systems of religion, Mani- chcism was distinguished both by the austerities which it enjoined and by tho extreme laxity of morals which it permitted, so that its dual principle was ap- plicable to itself at least. Regarding tho body as totally corrupt and the pas- sions abased. Manes enjoined his disciples to lacerate and mortify the one, and to, as far as possible, divest themselves of the latter. MARCARIANS, followers of an Egyptian monk of the fourth century, cele- brated for his piety, but who maintained some superstitions, probably derived from tho ancient traditions of his ancestry, MARCELLANS, so called from Marccllus, of Anoyra, who lived near the close of the second century. Nothing is known certainly of his doctrines, ex- cept that tliey were heretical, some claiming that they were similar to those of Sabellius, while others as stoutly deny this. MARCIONITES, a sect which take their name from their founder, Marcion, who lived in tho second century. They adhered to tho Gnostic doctrine that there were two principles, good nnd evil ; but also maintained that there was a third, intermediate, and neither wholly good nor wholly evil. This was tho God of the Jews. AH other nations, they claimed, were under the dominion of the evil influence. They held that the birth, incarnation, and passion were not real, but only apparent, denied the resurrection of tho body, and practiced trine baptism, that is baptizing three times, but only to those who preserved their continence. They accepted a part and rejected a part of both tho Old and tho New Testaments. At one time this sect was spread very widely throughout Europe and the East, and for a long timo they were very popular. MARCITES, 80 called from Marcus, one of their number, though they claimed to bo adherents of Simon Magus, and called themselves Perfecti.

The first of these divisions is allowed by all critics to be the genuine work of Zechariah the son of Iddo. It consists first of a short introduction or preface, in which the prophf '. announces his com- mission ; then of a series of visions, descriptive of all those hopes and anticipations of which the build- ing of the Temple was the pledge and sure founda- tion; and finally of a discourse delivered two years later, in repl) to questions respecting the ol)servance of certain established fast, (I.) The short intro- ANCIENT WARRIOR HEAVY-ARMID. ductory oracle (ch. i. i-6) is a warning voice from the pa.st,and manifestly rests upon the former warn- ings of Haggai. (2.) In the dream of the night there passed before the eyes of 'h<^ prophet a series of visions (ch. i. 7-vi. 15), These visions are ob- scure, and accordingly the prophet asks their mean- ing. The interpretation is given by an angel who knows the mind and will of Jehovah, (t.) In the first vision (ch. i. 7-15) the prophet sees in a valley of myrtles a rider upon a man horse, aecom- | panieil liy olliers who, havin;; been sunt forth to the four ipiarters of the earth, had rctunied with the tidings that the whole earth was at rest (with reference to I Lag. ii. 2oi. Hereupon the an- gel asks how long this state of things shall last, and is assured that the indifference ol ', of the he.ithcn shall cc.ase, and th.at the Tem- ple shall be built in Jerusalem. (2.) The second vision (ch. ii. I-17, A. V. i. 18-ii. 13) explains'//tf7« the promise of the first is to be fulfilled. The old prophets, in foretel- ling the happiness and glory of the times which should succeed the Captivity in Baby- lon, had made a great part of that happiness anil glory to consist in the gathering together again of tho whole dispersed nation in the land given to their fathers. This vision was designed to teach that the expectation thus raised — the return of the dispersed of Israel — should be fulfilled. (3.) The next two vision' (iii.,iv. ) are occupied with the Tem- ple, and with the principal persons on whom the hopes of the returned exiles rested The ]Himission granted for the rebuilding of the Temple liad 110 douiit stirred afresh the malice and animosity of the enemies of the Jews. Joshua the high-priest had been siiigleil out, it would seem, as the special object of attack, and perhaps formal accusations had already laid against him before the Persi.nn court. The prophet in vision, sees him summoned before a higher tribunal, and solemnly aeipiitted, despite the charges of the Satan or Adversary. This is done with the forms still usual in an Eastern court. (4). The last vision (iv.) supposes that all opposition to the building of the Temple shall be removed. This sees the completion of the work. The tvr^ ne.'.t visions (v. i-ii) signify that the land in which the sanctuary has just been erected, shall be purjed of all its pollutions. (5.) First, the curse is recorded j against wickedness in t/ie 'w/io/e land (v. 3). (6.) i go — \Yhether still in a dream or not, is not very clear — and to employ the silver and gold of their ofl'er- intp; f'T x\v -iTvicc of I,-liovali. lie is to make ni CATAI'ULTA PREPARED FOR THE DISCnAROI! OF AN ARROW. Next, he unclean thing, whether in the form of idol- atry or any other abomination, shall be utterly re- moved. (7.) And now the night is waning fast, and the morning is about to dawn ; chariots and horses appear, issuing from between two brazen mountains, the horses like those in the first vision ; and these receive their several commands, and are sent forth to execute the will of Jehovah in the four 4aarter5 of the earth. Thus, then, the cycle of visions is completed. Scene after scene is unrolled till the whole glowing picture is presented to the eye. All enemies crushed ; the land re-peopled, and Jerusalem girt as with a wall of fire; the Tern pie rebuild, more truly splendid than of old, be cause more abundantly filled with a divine presence ; the leaders of the people assured in the most signal manner of the divine protection ; all wickedness solemnly sentenced, .and the land forever puig;d of it. Such is the magnificent panoramma of hope which the Prophet displays to his countrymen. Im- mediately on these visions there follows a symboli- cal act. Three Israelites had just returned from Babylon, bring wich them rich gifts to ^ rusalem, apparently as contributions to the Temple, and had been received in the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, Thither the Prophet is commanded to BRIDGE NEAR TYRE. them two crowns, and to place these on the he.id of Joshua the higli-priest — a sign that in the Messiah who should build the Temple, the kingly and priest- ly offices should be united. (3.) l''iom this time, for a space of nearly two years, the Prophet's voice was silent, or his words ha\e not been ret-tirded. Bill in the fourth year of king I>.uii:s, in the fourth day of the ninth mimth, there came a ileput.ation of Jews to his Temple, anxious to know whether the fast-days which h.ail been instituted during the sev- enty years' captivity were still to he observed. It is remarkable that tliis question shiuiM have been ad- dressed to priests and prophets conjointly in tin.' Tem pie. This close allianc^between two classes hitherto so separate, and often so antago- nistic, was one of thcmost hope- ful circumstan- ces of the times. .Still Zechariah, as chief of the Prophets, h.is the decision of this question. In lau guage worthy of his position and his olTice — lan- guage which re- minds us of one of the most strik- ing passages of his great prede- cessor (Is. Iviii. S-7), he lays down the same principle, that God loves meny( rather than f. ing and truth and righteousness .a- a slinger. ther than sack- cloth and a sad contenance. Again he foretells, but not now in vision, the glorious times that are near at hand when Jchov.ah shall dwell in the midst of them, and Jerusalem he called a city of truth viii. I-15). Again he declares that "truth and peace" (vers. 16, 19) are the bulwarks of national prosperity. And he announces, in obedience to the ^^^^JllMi* EOYPrlAN JAVELINS, DART AND SPEAR HEADS. command of Jehovah, not only that the fasts are abolished, but that the days of mourning shall hence- forth be d.ays of joy, the fasts he counted for festivals. nrl« rgda, pfik ; e, i, o, i iUnt ; g ut; jIim ih; «,«Iim k; ^u j, gailn {et; 1 mi; supt B u in Uager, Ugk ; duiaaiaa. 102 ZECHARIAH £ECHARiAH ZECHARIAH >f' His proplici-y cuiclmlcs with a ])rc(lict;< dagger} /, yatagan of a dolucKic of the Turlliflb Grand Vizier j y, janizary'i dagger ^ k ~ ' and abealb, prophets may indeed have spoken lies, but upon these will the Lord execute Judgment, and then he will look with favor upon his people, and Ininj; hack lioth Jud.ih and Kphraim IVoin their captivity.

(2.> The second section, xii.-xiv. is entitled ''the burden of the word for Jehovah for Israel." But Israel is here used of the nation at large, not cf Israel as distinct from Jiidah. Indeed, the proph- ecy which concerns Jiulah and Jerusalem. In this the prophet beholds the near approach of troublous times, when Jerusalem should be hard pressed by enemies. But in that day Jehovah shall come to save them, and all the nations which gather them- selves against Jerusalem shall be destroyed. Many modern critics maintain that the later chapters from the 9th to the 14th, were written by some other prophet, who 'lived before the exile. The prophecy closes with a grand and stirring picture. All nations are gathered together against Jerusalem, and seem already sure of their prey. Half of their cruel work hiis lieen accomplished, when Jehovah himself appears on l>ehalf of his people. He goes forth to war against the adversaries of his people. He establishes his kingdom over all the earth. .Ml na- tions that are stiil left shall come up to Jerusalem, as the great centre of religious worship, and the city from that day forward shall be a holy city. .Such • is, briefly, an outline of the sec- ond portion Oi'th.itbook which is commonly known as the proph- ecy of Zech- uriah. In- tegrity.— Mede was the first to call this in question. The proba- bility that the later chapters, from the 9th to the I4lh, were by som e other pro- phet, seems iirsttohave been sug- gested to him by the Bedouin Arab'a dagger citation in St. Mat- \ thew. He rests his opinion partly on the authority ! of St. Matthew, and partly on the contents of the later chapters, which he considers require a date earlier than the exile. Archbishop Newcombe went furtlur. He insisted on the great dissimilarity of style as well as subject between the earlier and later chapters. And he was the first to .tdvocate the theory that the last six chapters of Zechariah are the work of two distinct prophets. (2.)

He is probably the same as the " Zacharias son of Barachias," who was slain 1 between the Temple and the altar (Matt, xxiii. 35), I [Zacjurias, No. 2,] (7.)

From these it i^> evidei't that Zedckiah was a man not so much bad al heart as we.ak in will. It is evident irom Jer. xxvii. and xxviii, that the earlier portion of Zedekiah's reign was marked by an agitation throughout the whole of Syria against the Babylon- ian yoke. Je- rusalem seems to have taken the Icid, siijce in the fourth year of Zede- kiah's reign, we find am- bassadors from all the neighboring kingdoms — Tyre, Sidon, E d o m and Moab — at his court to con- suit as to the steps to be ta- ken . This h a p p e n c d either during the king's ab- sence or im- mediately af- hisrettirnfrom Babylon, wbithpr he went on some errand, the na- ture of which is not named, hut which may have been an attempt to blind the eyes of Nebuchad- nezzar to his con templated revolt (Jer. li. 59). The first act of overt rebellion of which any re- cord survives was the fonn- ation of an al- liance with Egypt of itself, equivalent to a declaration of enmity with Babylon. As a natural consequence it brought on Jerusalem an immediate inviusion of the Chaldaeans. The mention of. this event in the Bible, though sure, is extremely slight, and occurs only in Jer. xxxvii. 5-1 1, xxxiv. 21, and Ez. xvii. 15- 20; but Jose- lihus (X. 7, ? 3) relates it more fully, and gives the date of its oc- e u r r e n c e , namely, t h e eighth year of Zedekiah. It appears that Nebuchadnez. z a r, being made aware of Zedekiah's de- fection, either by the non- payment of the tribute or by other mean', at once set an army to ravage Judaea. This was done, and the whole country reduced, except Jerusalem and two strong places in the western plain, Lachish and Azekah, whivh still hold nut (Jer. xxxiv. 7 . In the mean time I'h.iraiili had nii'vt'il to kW- asvi.stance ttf his ally. On hearing of his appro. tch, the Chaldaeans at once raised the siege and advanced to meet him. The iitlbles seized the monieni of respite to reassert their power over the king. How long the Babylonians EASTERN WELL ; were absent from Jerusalem we are not told. All we certainly know is, that on the tenth day of the tenth month of Zedekiah's ninth year, the Chaldae- ans were again before the walls (Jer. lii. 4).

Wiii'e the king was hesitating tlie end was rapidly coming nearer. The city was indeed re- duccd to the Last extremity. The bread had for long been consumed (Jer. xxxviii. 9), and all the terrible expedients had been tried to which the wretched in habitants of a l>esieged town are forced to resort in such cases. At last, after sixteen dread- ful months, the catastroi)he arrived. It was on tile ninth day of the fourth month, about the middle of July, about midnight, as Josephus with careful min- uteness informs us, that the breach in those stout and vener.iblc walls was effected. The moon, nine days old, had gone down below the hills which form the western edge of the basin of Jernsalem or was at any rate too low to illuminate the utter darkness which reigns in the narrow lanes of an eastern town, wliere the inhrbitants retire early to rest, and wheve there are but few windows to emit light from the interior of the houses. The wretched remnants of the army quitted the city in the dead of night ; and as the Chaldaean army entered the city at one end, the kijig and his wives fled from it by the opposite gate. They took the road towards the Jordan. On the way they were met and recognized by some of the Jews who had formerly deserted to the Chaldac- ans, Uy them the intelligence was communicated, and, as often as the dawn of d.iy permitted it, swift pursuit was made. The king's party were overtaken near Jericho, and carried to Nebuchadnezzar, who was then at Riblah, at the upper end of the Valley of Lebanon. Nebuchadnezzar, with a refinement of cruelty characteristic of those cruel times, or- dered the sons of Zedekiah to be killed before him, WRITING MATERIAU. and lastly his own eyes to be thrust out (b. c. 5^6), He was then loaded with Brazen fetters, and at a later period t.iken to Babylon, where he died, (2 ) Son of Chenaanah, a prophet at the court of Ahab, head, or if not head, virtual leader of the coKege. He appears but once, viz: as spokesman when the prophets as consulted by Ahab on the result of his proposed expedition to Ramotfa-Gilead (l K. xxii. ; 3 Chr. xviii.) Zedekiah had prcjfcred himself for the interview with a pair of iron horns, alter the symbolic custom of the prophets (comp. Jer. xiii,, ZEDEKIAH xix,), the horns of the rrrm, or buffalo, which was the recognized cmbUm of the tribe of Kphraim (licut. xxxiii. 17). With these, in the interval be fnre Micaiah's arrival, he illustrated the manner in which Ahab should drive the Syrians before him. When Micaiah appeared, and had delivered his his prophecy, Zedeki.ih sprang forward and struck him a blow on the face, accompanying it with a taunting sneer. For this he is threatened by Mica- iah in terms which are hardly intelligible to us, but which evidently allude to some jiersonal danger to Zedekiah. Josephus relates that after Micaiah had spoken, Zedekiah again came forward and de- nounced him as false, on the ground that his proph- ecy ccmtradicled the prediction of Elijah, that Ahab's blood should be licked up by the dogs in the field of Naboth of Jezreel ; and as a further proof that he was an impostor, he struck him, daring him to do what Iddo, in somewhat similar circum- stances, had done to Jeroboam — viz: wither his WRITING MATERIALS. hand. As to the question of Zedekiah and his fol- lows were, whether prophets of Jehovah or of some false deity, it seems hardly possible to entertain any doubt. (3.)

The history of Zerrub- babel in the Scriptures is .is follows : In the first of Cyrus he w.as living at Babylon, and was the recognized prince of judah in the Captivity, what in hater times was called "the Prince of the Cap- tivity," or " the Pr'uce." On the issuing of Cyrus's decree he immediately availed himself of it, and pliiced himself at tho head of those of his country- men "whose spirit God had raised to go up to build the house of the Lord whicli is in Jerusalem." It is probable that he was in the king of Babylon's service, both from his having, like Daniel and the three children, received a Chaldee n.ime [Shesii- dazzar], and from the fact that he w.as appointed by the Persian king to the office of governor of Judaea. On arriving at Jerusalem, Zerubbabel's great work, which he set about immediately, was the rebuilding of the Temple. In the second month of the second year of their return, the foundation was laid with all the pomp which they could command. The Samaritans or Cutheans put in a claim to join with the Jews in rebuilding the successful in putting a stop to the work during the seven remaining years of the reign of Cyrus, WOLP OF PALEiTINB. and through the eight years of Cambyses and Smerdis.

It stood on the eastern bank of the T.-.ntic branch of the Nile. Its name indicates a place of departure from a country, and hence it h;'.s been . Identified with Avarls, the capital of the Shepherd dynasty in Egypt. We read in the book of Numbers that " Hebron w.ts built seven years before Zoan in Egypt" (xili. 22), which tends to est.ibllsh the Identity of Avarls and Zoan, since we know that Hebron was already built in Abraham's time, and the Shepherd-invasion may lie dated about the same period. Supposing that the Pharaoh who oppressed the I s r a e I i t es be- longed to the Shepherds, it would be natu- ral for him to reside at Zoan ; and this city is mentioned in connection with the Plagues in such a manner as to leave no doubt that it is the city spoken of in the narra- jtive in Exodus as that where Pharitoh dwelt (Ps. Ixxviii. 42, 43). Tanis gave its name to the xxist and xxiii.

The first allusion to Jewish coin- age is found in the Apocrypha, where it is related, in 1 Maccabees xv. 6, that Simon was granted permission to coin money with his own stamp ; and it is probable that he was the first to issue a distinctive Jewish coin — the silver shekel and half-shekel, called the beka, though this point is disputed.

The denarius during the commonwealth vioi nearly the same as the Greek Anhelau. Tinu drachm, from which it is probable it was copied; and from several passages in the New Testament (where it is tranfdated "a penny"), we judge it to have been the common wages for a day's work.

Note. — A coin, if genuine, is often the very best evic ence concerning ancient persons and places, which cannot be denied or explained away. Even if tliey were forged, in some age near the true date, they have still a value according to their antitjuity. It is often found that ancient records are confirmed by coins, as for instance in he ca.se of the port of Cenchrea, where the coin of Corinth confirms the text in Acts xviii. l8, and Rom. xvi. I. The frequent allusions to bury ng money and treasure w:.s confirmed as true records a few years ago by the discovery of some earthen jars in a garden at Sidon, con- taining nearly 8000 pieces of gold, the coinage of Philip of Macedon, and Alexander, his son. There were no banks or places of secure deposit, and the only safety was in buryins; money or treasure in some secret place, as alluded to in Prov. ii. 4; and also in Jer. xli. 8, where the treasures hid were produced. po »ervi( niul«m> I, 15 owtfc 36 Even if lliey were ns, as for instance \er\ at Sidon, con- he only safety was BIOGRAPHIES OF THE WIIITERS AND or SOilE OF THE PROMINENT MEN AND WOMEN OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

Now he pays the debt of his fidelity to public morals, by giving his life to the truth ; his body 'o tlio earth, by tho hands of his own mourning disciples ; and his head to tho dainty keeping uf that beautiful adulteress, who was not coritent with tho blood of Herod, with tho ruin of hei own daughter, the sacrifice of Philip, her lawful husband, but must lay up in keeping tho righteous blmid of tho Baptist, to moot it in the day of account Our Saviour gives us tho most oxulted testimony ever given to any living worthy, in tho following words ; " Among them that are born of women, thero hath not risen a greater than John tho Baptist ; notwithstanding, ho that is least in tho king- dom of Qod, is greater than ho. If ye will reoeivo it, this is Klias which was for to cumo. IIo that hath ears to hear, let him hear." MATTHEW, THE TAX-GATHERER. MiTTimr was of Qaliloc, and exorcised his calling of customs-gathering at Capernaum, on the western shore of Ooneznreth. The tax-gatherer wns in the service of the Romans ; be was a genuine Hebrew. The Saviour was walking 1 on thn shorn of tho alnivn sea, whnneo hn calhxl this man fnim his vocation, and ho fnllnwod lliin, to Imooma a gathoror of tribute in thn kingdom of the Prini'n of I'i'iicn, Doiibtli'ss rich, and nngagnd in a pmfltiiblu eiiiploymont, he laid by all for this divinn call.

Ho wa^ prudent and wise In his work, irccurnto in mntlmd, careful and labi>ri"us in the details of his Master's biography, and spoelally uuanswer able in his gi*ncah)<{y of Christ. The Gospel by Matthew is a monument of gnnius. It is, boynnd qucstlnn, a legal document. Tho report of facts is cautious to a scrnple. Had our Sa- viour directly provided this man as His biographer, it could not have boon mure In harmony with tho events, as they uiirurred, For his account wus drawn up probably about the year of our Lord 3H, a full generation after tho birth of Clirist, yet, as if in direct view of all — nniking the most nnansworablo doeu> nienl extant. Scarcely forty pages in oxteni, only a littln tract, making no oppoarance on the bookseller's shelf, it is yet thn most momentous piece of composition now in tho keeping of numkind. There are throo pnrtj to the book ; tlio early lifu of Josns, up to the opening of His public ministry; then. Ills minist<-y and its fiidd; and lastly, His suflbring, death, rosurrnctiim, and as- ceiisioii. By what ajipears among writers as common consent, this Qospcl is c rule by which tho other Oiispols are judged. Compact, careful, luminous, modest, complete, full of tho words of Christ, it demonstrates two pnipositinn beyond dispute : first, plenary inspiraliuu ; second, tho highust typo uf a wit uess's tostimuny. PETER. THE FISHERMAN. TnB Apostle Potor was born ot Bethsaida, of Galileo. IIo is thought to haT« boon some ton years tho senior of his Lord. His father's name wus Jonas, who brought up his sou in his own occupation, which was that of a fisherman, on tho Sen of Tiberias. His speech waa that corrupted Hebrew spoken in Ualileo, and ho is roganlol as among tho least educated uf tho Apostles ; yet has he wielded a scepter of moral and religious power over tho mind of the Christian era, and has left a namo which is on the lips of over three hundred millions ol tho world more frequently than tho name of u Ciesur or un Alixandor, and iu in more documents tlian any two names of tho great for two thousand years. Wo note in Potor wdyit is common to those who capture tho finny tribe and bring them forth for the food of man — a certain freedom and boldnoss of soul, and a generosity and solf-forgetfuluess, which rarely stops at tho largest sacri- fices and the richest outlay fur others. All iho nobler features of his character Peter retained to the last, and this fact is tho index to the conspicuous position which ho fills in tho incidents of the next forty years after our Saviour's ascen- sion. Christianity evidently did a vast work for Petor, raising all that was low, and strengthening all that waa week, till ho became "as another man." Peter evidently delivered some of his discourses to tho Hebrews in their own vernacular, while to the Itoman centurion, Cornelius, and his family, ho spako in tho Qrcek language. IIo, with his brother Andrew, and tho two sons of Zebedcc, was a disciple of tho Baptist. Tho acts of his life, as on record in tho Now Testament, are quite varied. He rebuked his Master in a hasty reply to His announcement of his passion at Jerusalem j ho drew out in earnest pro- testation his loyalty to Christ, as the traitor wos announced ; ho resorted to the sword, on the first appearance of the midnight throng sent from the teirple to apprehend the Saviour ; he denied that be knew his Master, and fortified his RhamclRHN coniliict with swearing ; he rppcuted the same night, (bedding bit- t'.T tears (if ponitonoy ; ho hod one of the firHt interviews with Christ after His re»urrcc(ii, uu ' that ho was called of Jesus when in the company of John. A part of John's life was spent in Jerusalem, where he preached the gospel. Twice he was imprisoned : in company witli Peter once, and again with the other Apostles. He was sent to Samaria with Peter, that the converts under the ministry of Philip, the deacon, might receive the Holy Ghost. Domitian banished John to the Isle of Patraos, in tl\o jEgean Soa, where he wrote the Iluvclation. After his return from banishment, ho went into Asia Minor, not far from the year 66. He occupied himsolf in preaching the gospel, princi- pally at Ephesus, where the great temple of Diana was built, and to which vast weolth was sent in votive offerings by tho princes of all Asia. Ho planted chiirclies at Smyrna and Pergamos, and at many other places. His success nnd his bold preaching displeased Domitian, and many others of the chief men of the Roman Empire. On tho coming of Nerva to tlie empire, in A. D. 96, John came to Ephesus, where he died at a good old age, in the third year of Trajan's reign, A. D. 100. Tlie first book attributed to John is the Gospel bearing his name. It is formed upon a plan peculiarly his own, being wholly unlike tha otiior Gospels. In all parts of it John has introduced much of the conversations of Jesus. Tlio Saviour appears in this book in so personal a mode that he stands before us as "very man." John exhibits this divine manhood, by opening the door into that intimate friendship which ho was permitted so highly and exclusively to enjoy. Wo, no doubt, can here behold that image of God, so nobly put forth in Genesis, which God intended to glorify in the first man, and was hindered by the fall. Tlie Revelation was written by John, while in the Isle of Patmos. Though written prior to his Gkispol, it sustains and teaches tho same high doctrine, the J-^hovah, in Jesus of Nazareth. Here, tlioroforo, we, and all coming ages, must find the mysterious nature of the divine incarnate, laid away as the keep- sake of natioiu. LAZARUS, OP BETHANY. This man appears in the sacred history in the most remarkable of attitudes, that of one loved of Clirist. Two men are placed in this most exalted of atti- tudes — Lazarus, of Bethany, and John, the beloved disciple. This intimate relation was admitted by the Saviour, and the part acted by Lazarus was mo- dest and becoming. The resurrection of Lasartis is the crowning miracle of all the mrglity acts of Jesus. No one could say aught against it, either as a miracle, or as an act toward a family at once valued and much admired by the leading racn at Je- rusalem. Ther« is room to believe that Lazarus was well known at Jerusalem, and highly connected. Therefore his death caused much attentiou to be ex- cited in Jerusalem, and his being raised from the dead made Jesus to bo exceed- ingly popular, till the loaders turned the people's will against Him. Lazarus was in public daily after his restoration to life, and his testimony was truth itself, and most remarkable in its incidents. MARY, OF CLEOPHAS. This was Mary, tho mother of James. Cleophas and Alphous are the same person. It is thought she wu.s tho sister of tho Virgin Mary, and had four sons, mentioned in tho Now Testament, James tho loss, Joses, Simon, and Judas, who aro termed br(!thren of Jesus Christ, that in. His cuusin-gcrmans. Mary early embraced faith in Christ, was an attendant on His ministry, and minis- tered to His wants of her substance. She \i ts at Jerusalem at the time of tho last Passover, and at the time of His crucifixion follo-vod Ilim to Calvary : she was with His mother at the foot of the cross, whilo Ho suffered. At His burial she was present, and, on tho third day before, had in tho labor of others borne her part in preparing tho perfumes to embalm His body. Going to His tomb very early on the morning of His resurrection, she there learned from the mouth of an angel that He truly had risen from the dead, and was ono of those who carried tho news of this fact to His disciples. On the way to bear these tidings to the disciples, Jesus appeared in person to them, and they held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. From what wo thus learn of this Mary, sho waa a sincere, benevolent, and devout discipio of her Saviour. MARY, OF MAGDALA. This Mary is so called from Magdala, in Gulilce, from whence sho was. Luke tells us that Christ cast seven demons out of Mary, as kIio had been pos- sessed of them. Pow names have been associated with so nniny coarse jibes and reflections as this one. There is no proof whatever that sho was a coarse or vulgar woman. There is no doubt but that Mary Magdalene was, both in character nnd in circumstances, a woman of good reputjition, and of high standing in society. The sacred writers mention her with honor always, as a constant attendant upon the ministry of Jesus, and as doing things in tho highest degree becom- ing to a pious and intelligent female. In Christ's last journey to Jerusalem, Mary of Magdala was -..ith His disciples in company, and the third Mary, standing at the foot of the cross as Jesus was cracified. Slie stayed in Jorusa- lem over the sad interval to the r again. ■\Vlien tho Princess Mary was to havo her son, the Redeemer, she paid a visit to Kli/.abeth, who was her cousin, residing in the city of Hebron. Har object was ono of congratulation, because of their mutual blessing, as chosen of Ood for great and yet unequal honors. After three months' visit, the princess ro- turned homo. Soon after her departure, Eiizaboth gave birth to Juha tha Baptist. HEROD, THE INFANT-SLAYER. IIeuod was king in tho land of Judoa when Jesus Christ came. IIo had then been sovereign in Judea for tliirty-throo years. We look book on the memory of that period, consigning his namo to the detestation to which his contcmpo- raries assigned it, while wo admiro his great talents, and the remarkalile en- terprises and puljlio monuments of his greatness, and place him in tho first rank of kings. IIo was very properly surnamod the Great. This king was the second s(m of Antipator, the Idumean, and was born B. C. 71. At twenty-five his father made him governor of Galilee, where be dis- tinguished himself by tho suppression of robbers, and tlio execution of their leader, Ilozekiah. In the civil war between the Roman republican loaders and Cresar, ho took sides with Cassius, and was made governor of Ccolo-Syria. Wh"n Mark Antony arrived victorious in Syria, Herod, by some means, was favored by him, who made Herod and his brother tqtrarchs in Judeo. Soon after, Antigonus and tho Jews joined against him, and were too stroni» for him ; hence ho retired first into his native land, Idumca, and then into Kgypt. From thenco ho departed for Rome to seek better fortunes. On a dilferenco arising in tho Asmodean family, Herod obtained tho crown of Judea, returned to Jerusalem, and iu three years got possession of the country. Then he becamo guilty of many oxtortious and cruelties, while he ip-do hasto to bo rich, and he put tho Asmodean race of kings out of his way. When Antony and Octavius quarreled, and it was necessary for Hernd to make choice between them, he raised an army with which to help the former, while, by the determining hand of Providence, Octavius was victor at the battlo of Actium. Now it was necessary to mako peace with the sole master of tho Roman world, and, to prepare his way to it, ho put Hyrcnnus, tho last of tho Asmodeans, to death. Tlicn ho embarked for Rhodes, where Augustus then was. To mako his appearance tho more impressive, and to flatter his master, ho arrayed himself in royal vestments and ornaments, but left off his crown, and thus eamo into tho presence of Ciosar. Ho confessed his attachment to Antony, recapitulated his acts of devotion to him, and did not hesitate to refer to his attachment to his former friend and benefactor. But ho was roady to bo as truo to another frieml and benefactor, and delicately intimated that ho could bo as grateful to Au;;u..tu3, should he recnnfor his crown and kingdom upon him. Struck with Herod's defence, ond admiring his ingenuous confes- sion, tho crown and kingdom were restored, and a largo share of Caosar's con- fidence and many favors wiire besto-.red upon tho re-ecfaUlislicd king of Judeo. But amidst all his prosperity, Herod's domcstio felicity was poisoned, his peace was destroyeil, and his greatness as a king was dl.scolorcd by his vices and deeds as a man. His wife, Mariamne, hated him, and was brought to trial, convicted, and executed. She submitted to her fate with all the intre- pidity of innocency and heroism, and thus stands on the historian's page an honored and an injured woman. Herod was struck with remorse, and never afterward enjoyed a tranquil hour. Now flying tho society of his fellow-men, now ferocious and vindictive, and then frenzied to the last degree, he lo'-t all tlio distinctions of the well-balanoed mind, and sacrificed, with brute vengeful- ness, both friends and foes to his momentary fits of rage and hate. In a srojon of self- possession be built Scbasto and Cossarea, erected many PllOMIXEXT MEN AND WOMEN OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. h strong fortrossos, constructed and ornnmontod a stately theater and nmpl itlica- tor, in which ho celebrated games in lionor of Augustus. The statuary used as ornaincnta in those structures displeased tho Jews, who mado tliem tho occa- eion of a deep-laid conspiracy against his life, wliich they had loiif; souglit, hcoause of his being a native Idumoan, and a murderer of their own Asniodean princes and their families, and tlie usurper of tlieir t'lrouc aud Itinjjdom, and nbovo all, a slavish admirer of the hated Roman cmporor. To cause himself to bo viewed as their benefactor, and to bo regarded as an object of veneration, Ilerod rebuilt tho temple of Jehovah, ut Jerusalem, in a style at once so maj^iQcont and so costly, that the Jews long sp.ike of him as devoted to their religion, and as a model king. While thus en!;agod he mado a visit to Rome, tho metropolis and mistress of tho vorld, and returned with his two sons, who had been educated there under tho patronage of Cicsar, furnished with every means of magnificence and luxury by a doting father. They had not long been in Jerusalem ero they aspired to sovereignty, conspired against their father, wore apprehended, tried, convicted, and executed. This sum- mary treatment of conspiracies did not secure him against them, f.ir, through life, every littlo while he would detect and punish a fresh conspiracy by some of his family relations. Tlie deed which, above all others, covers tho name of Ilorod tho Great with infamy is the slaughter of the innocents of Betlilehein, in order to make way with our Saviour, whose advent had been announced to him ),y tlie coming of tho wise men to Jerusalem. A dreadful visitation followed this deed. A son, Antipater, named from his grandfather, who had but lately returned from Rome, was arrested by his father's orders, convicted of conspiring against tho life of his father, and was cast into prison, where ho was soon after slain by tho com'naud of tho king. The judgments of heaven seemed now to thicken over him: he was seized with a fatal m.ilady. Tormented by a guilty con- ecienco, hazed by fears of conspiracy on all sides, the most loathsome olyect imaginable, he not only decreed conspirators to death while on his dying-bed, but planned murders for others to perpetrate when ho should bo no longer able to shod human blood. After having bequeathed his kingdom to Archelaus, and two tetraroliies to Ilia other two sons, ho called together the chief Jews to Jericho, and bound his pister by an oath to have them all put to death on his demise. But she broke this wicked oath, and, with her husband Alexis, set tlio Jews at liberty. Tills bloody tyrant died at sixty-eight years of age, dreaded by his >^uljjccts, loathed by his relatives, detested by mankind, ond held up as a symbol of infamy on every Mstoriau'a pago who records his name. pcctcd man J HEROD ANTIPAS. Tnis Ilerod was son of Ilerod the Great. His mother was Cleopatra, of Jeru- salem. His father at first iutanded Antipas to succeed him as king, but after- ward changed his will, and made Archelaus his heir and successor. But both of these princes went to Rome, and Augustus changed tho portions to each, giving to Antipas Galilee and Poraea. Herod Antipas returned to his dominions, and there built fortresses, and adorned tho chief places in his dominions. About A. D. 33 he was allied to Aretas, king of Arabia, by tho marriage of his daughter, whom ho soon di- vorced, that he might marry Uerodias, the wifo of his brother Philip, who was atill living. This incestuous marriago was denounced by John the Baptist in deservedly severe terms, and caused Ilorod muoh anxiety. Ilerod often heard this truly wonderful man, and did many things taught by him. but Ilorodias hold him in the toils of vicious indulgence so strongly that he would not give her up. Therefore, a conspiracy was formed against his teacher's life, by Ilorodias and her daughter. They watched their opportunity, and finally chose a fair oppor- tunity. A birthday, from immemorial nsage, was a day of great hilarity and festive day in the palace. The guests would bo full of wine, and therefore easily pleased. This was tho auspicious day to tho artful plot of vengeance against the Baptist, who then lay in prison, for his plain dealing with tho adul- terous king. Tho daughter of Ilorodias entered the festive assembly of wine- drinkers, and danced before them. They were delighted, and Ilerod pledged, by an oath, that he would give the damsel what she might desire. She retired to the apartments of her mother, and was there advised wiiat to ask. She re- turned, and preferred her request in those remarkable works : " Give mo hero John (ho Baptist's head in a charger" Revenge against John for his truth- fulness, was sweeter to Horodios than anything clso could be. Ilerod was sad at tills unrxpi'cti d turn of a.Tair.j, and would gladly have delivered John. His oath, and his liouuniljlo guests, who bad nil joim il in tlic pledge to tho daugli- t .■, decide d the matter against the life of a good and great man. A guard was dispotchcd to tho prison, who then) beheaded Jcjlin, and brought tho head into tlio guest-hall of Ilerod, and it >vas there given to .ho damsel, who took it to her mother. Aretas, king of Arabia, was deeply affronted at the trcotniont which his daughter had received at tho hands of Ilerod, and went against him with a strong force. After an obstinate battle, in which the fortunes of the conflict were with the avenger of the injured prineess of Arabia, Antipas nnnle terms with Aretas, highly honorable to the victor. In A. D. 39 Uerodias persuaded Antipas to visit Rome, and desire of Oaius, who was emperor, that he might be a king, ot least efjual to her own brother Agrippa. Slui, hoping to am Ar- menia. D.
