Chap. XLVII.
note
Praises of Nathan, 2. Dauid, 14. and Salomon; in whose progenie (21. notwithstanding
his fal) 27. the royal scepter remained for Dauids sake,
though for his and the peoples sinnes, tenne tribes were cut of, and fel into
schisme.
1 After these thinges arose Nathan the Prophet in the
daies of Dauid.
2 And as the fatte separated from the
flesh, so was Dauid from the children of Israel.
3 He plaied
with lyons as it were with lambes: and with beares he did in
like maner as with lambes of sheepe in his youth.
4 Did not
he kil the giant, and tooke away reproch from his nation?
5 In lifting vp his hand, with a stone of the sling he ouerthrew
the boasting of Goliah: for he inuocated our Lord the omnipotent,
and he gaue in his right hand, to take away the man
strong in battel, and to exalt the horne of his nation.
7 So
in ten thousand did he glorifie him, and praised him in the
blessinges of our Lord, in offering to him a crowne of glorie:
8 for he destroyed the enemies on euerie side, and rooted out
the Philisthijms the aduersaries euen vntil this present day:
he brake their horne for euer.
9 In euerie worke he gaue
confession to the Holie one, and to the Highest, in the word
of glorie.
10 From note al his hart he praised our Lord, & loued
-- --
God that made him: and gaue him might against his enemies:
11 and he made singers to stand before the altar, and by their
sound he made sweete tunes.
12 And in the solennities he gaue
honour, and adorned the times euen to the end of his life, that
they should praise the holie name of our Lord, and magnifie
the holines of God in the morning.
13 Our Lord purged his
sinnes, and exalted his horne for euer: and he gaue him a testament
of the kingdom, and the seate of glorie in Israel.
14 After
him arose a wise sonne, and for note him did he ouerthrowe al
the might of the enemies.
15 Salomon reigned in dayes of
peace, to whom God subdewed al his enemies, that he might
build an house in his name, and prepare holines for euer: as
note thou art instructed in thy youth.
16 And thou art replenished
as a riuer with wisdom, and thy soule discouered the earth.
17 And thou didst multiplie darke sayinges in comparisons:
thy name was bruited to the ilandes far of, and thou wast
beloued in thy peace.
18 The landes merueled at the songes
and prouerbes, and comparisons, and interpretations,
19 and
at the name of our Lord God, whose name is, God of Israel.
20 Thou didst gather gold as copper, and filledst siluer as lead,
21 and bowdest thy thighes to wemen: thou hast had power
on thy bodie,
22 thou note hast made a blotte in thy glorie, and
profaned thy seede to bring wrath to thy children, and thy
follie to be kindled,
23 to make the kingdom diuided, and a
stubburne kingdom to reigne of Ephraim.
24 But God wil not
leaue his mercie, and he wil not corrupt, nor abolish his
owne workes, neither wil he destroy from the stocke the
nephewes of his elect: and he wil not corrupt the seede of
him, that loueth our Lord.
25 But he gaue a remnant to Iacob,
and to Dauid of the same stocke.
26 And Salomon had an end
with his fathers.
27 And he leaft after him of his seede, the follie
of the nation,
28 and Roboam hauing litle wisedom, who
turned away the nation by his counsel,
29 and Ieroboam the
sonne of Nabat, who made Israel to sinne, and made a way
of sinning to Ephraim, and their sinnes did abound very
manie.
30 They remoued them away from their land very far.
31 And he sought al iniquities, til there came defense vnto
them, and he rid them from al sinnes.
