THE ARGVMENT.
This seconde booke conteineth the actes of the Kings of Iudah and Israel: to wit, of Israel, from the
death of Ahab vnto the last King Hosea, who was imprisoned by the King of Assyria, and his citie
Samaria taken, and the ten tribes by the iust plague of God for their idolatry & disobedience to God led
into captiuitie. And also of Iudah, from the reigne of Iehoram sonne of Iehoshaphat unto Zedechia, who
for contemning the Lords commandement by his Prophets, and neglecting his sundry admonitions by famine
and other meanes, was taken by his enemies, sawe his sonnes most cruelly slaine before his face, and
his owne eyes put out, as the Lord had declared to him before by his Prophet Ieremie: and also by the iust
vengeance of God for contempt of his word Ierusalem was destroyed, the Temple burnt, and he and all his
people were led away captiues into Babylon. In this booke are notable examples of Gods fauour towards
those rulers and people which obey his Prophets and imbrace his worde: and contrariwise, of his plagues
towardes those common weales which neglect his ministers, and doe not obey his commaundements.
