THE ARGVMENT OF THE FOVRTH BOOKE OF KINGES.
This fourth booke prosecuteth the historie of the two Kingdomes of
Iuda and Israel, to the seueral captiuities of them both. Shewing manie
special vertues and heroical actes of good Kinges, Prophetes, and other godlie
persons: and diuers crimes of the wicked. For in Iuda were some good kinges,
highly commended; some euil, whom God spared in this world for Dauids
sake. note So that in both sortes King Dauids seede continued in his throne, and
royal state (first in the twelue tribes, afterward in two) nere foure hundred
fourscore yeares. And after the captiuitie (as wil appeare in the age ensuing)
it was conserued in honour and estimation, til Christ our Sauiour. But in the
Kingdome of Israel (or tenne tribes) which stood about two hundred fiftie
yeares, was great change, by raysing and extirpating royal families. note Al their
kinges were bad, yet partly were set vp by God himself, partly suffered to
reigne; and in both Kingdomes, were true and false prophetes, God vsing
the ministerie of al, to his owne glorie, the good of his Church, and punishment
of others, and sometimes of themselues. So this booke may be diuided into two
partes. note In the seuentene former chapters, are recorded ioyntly and mixtly the
principal thinges donne in both kingdomes, til the captiuitie of the tenne
tribes. The other eight chapters conteine other thinges donne in Iuda, vntil
their captiuitie in Babylon.
