THE ARGVMENT.
Because the children of God shoulde looke for no continuall rest and quietnes in this worlde, the holie
Ghost setteth before our eyes in this booke the varietie and change of things, which came to the people
of Israel from the death of Dauid, Salomon and the rest of the Kings, vnto the death of Ahab, declaring
how that flourishing kingdomes, except they bee preserued by Gods protection, (who then fauoureth
them when his word is truely set forth, vertue esteemed, vice punished, and concord maintained) fall
to decay and come to nought: as appeareth by the deuiding of the kingdome vnder Roboam, and Ieroboam,
which before were but all one people, and now by the iust punishment of God were made two, whereof
Iudah and Beniamin claue to Roboam: and this was called the kingdome of Iudah, and the other tenne
tribes helde with Ieroboam, and this was called the kingdome of Israel. The King of Iudah had his throne
in Ierusalem, and the King of Israel in Samaria, after it was built by Amri Ahabs father. And because
our Sauiour Christ according to the flesh should come of the stocke of Dauid, the genealogie of the Kings
of Iudah is here described, from Salomon to Ioram the sonne of Iosaphat, who reigned ouer Iudah in Ierusalem,
as Ahab did ouer Israel in Samaria.
