THE ARGVMENT OF PARALIPOMENON.
note
Paralipomenon, that is, A supplement of thinges ommitted,
called by the Hebrews Dibre haiamim, The wordes of the
dayes, or Chronicle, is an Abridgement briefly shewing, besides diuers other
genealogies, from the beginning of the world, the faith and religion both of
the progenitors, and ofspiring of the Patriarch Iacob, whose progenie God
chose and made his peculiar people; and in that nation more particularly recounting
the Actes of king Dauid, and other kinges of his line, til they were
led captiue into Babylon. note A booke of such and so great importance
(sayeth S. Hierom.) as whosoeuer without it arrogateth the knowledge
of Scriptures, may mocke himselfe. The author is vncertaine,
but probably it semeth to be gathered by Esdras, out of other bookes and
traditions, for the perfecting of the old Testament: and is vndoubtedly
canonical Scripture. In hebrew it is al one booke, but being large, is with the
Greekes and Latines parted into two. note And the first booke may be diuided
into three principal partes. The first nine chapters conteyne diuers genealogies,
first by the only right line from Adam to Noe, then by diuers lines of Noes
progenie, but most specially of Iacobs twelue sonnes. note In the tenth chapter the
reiection, and death of king Saul is repeted. The other ninetene chapters are al
of Dauid; to wit, of his election to be king, and inunction, his vertues, his
faultes also, and his special actes, concerning Gods seruice, gouernment of the
people; and prouision made for building Gods Temple.
