¹⁵ And out of youre trybes I toke the captaynes, (men of wysdome and that were experte) and made them ruelars ouer you: captaynes ouer thousandes & ouer hundredes ouer fyftye and ouer ten, and offycers amonge youre trybes.

¹⁷ his firstborne oxe hath be wtie, and his hornes are as the hornes of an vnycorne. And wyth them he shall trouble the nacyons together, euen vnto the endes of the worlde. These are also the many thousandes of Ephraim, & the thousandes of Manasses.

¹¹ And so Dauid and his men rose vp earlye to departe in the mornynge, & to returne into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went vp to Iezraell.

¹ But whan Dauid & hys men were come to Zikleg the thirde daye, the Amaleckites had russhed in vpon the south, and vpon Zikleg, & had smytten Zikleg, & burnt it wt fyre, ² & had taken the wemen (that were therin) presoners, both small & great: but slew not a man, saue caryed them wt them, & went theyr wayes. ³ So Dauid and hys men came to the cytie: & beholde, it was burnt with fyre, & their wyues, theyr sonnes and their daughters were caryed awaye. ⁴ Then Dauid and the people that was wyth hym, lyfte vp their voyces & wept, vntyll they could wepe no more. ⁵ And Dauids two wiues were taken presoners also: Ahinoam the Iezrahelite, and abigail the wyfe of Nabal the Carmelite. ⁶ And Dauid was in a shrewde combraunce: for the people entended to stone hym, because the hertes of all the people were vexed for theyr sonnes & theyr daughters. But Dauid toke a good courage to hym in the Lorde hys God ⁷ & sayde to Abiathar the preste Ahimelechs sonne: I pray the, bring me the Ephod. And Abiathar brought the Ephod to Dauid. ⁸ And Dauid asked councell at the Lorde, sayinge: shall I folowe after thys companie? and shall I ouertake them? And he answered him: folow, for thou shalt ouertake them, and recouer the praye. ⁹ So Dauid and the syxe hundred men that were with hym, went & cam to the riuer Besor, where a part of them abode. ¹⁰ But Dauid and foure hundred men folowed: For two hundred abode behinde, beynge to werye to go ouer the ryuer Besor. ¹¹ And they founde an Egypcian in the felde, and brought hym to Dauid and gaue hym bread to eate, & water to dryncke, ¹² & gaue hym a fewe fygges & two clousters of reasings. And when he had eaten, hys sprete cam agayne to hym: for he had eaten, no bread nor droncke no water in thre dayes & thre nyghtes. ¹³ And Dauid sayd vnto him: to whom belongest thou? & whence art thou? he sayd: I am a yonge man of Egypt and seruaunt to an Amaleckite: and my master left me behynde, because it is thre dayes agone, that I fell sycke: ¹⁴ we came a rouyng vpon the south of Chretus, and against Iuda, and towarde the south of Caleb. And we burnt Zikleg wyth fyre. ¹⁵ And Dauid sayde to hym: canst thou brynge me to this company? And he sayde: swere vnto me by God, that thou wylt nether kyll me, nor delyuer me into the handes of my master, and I will brynge the to the companye. ¹⁶ And when he had brought hym thyther, beholde, they laye skatered abroade vpon the erth, eatynge & drinckynge, & daunsynge, because of the plenteous & great pray, that they had caried awaye out of the land of the Philistines, & out of the lande of Iuda. ¹⁷ And Dauid layd vpon them from the euen, vntill the twilyght on the morow: so that there escaped not a man of them, saue foure hundred young men which rode awaye vpon cameles, and fledd.

²⁴ for they were growne to a greate multitude. And these were the heedes of the housholdes of theyr fathers: Epher, and Iesi, Eliel and Azriel, Ieremia and Hodauia, and Iaohdiel, stronge men and valeaunt, famouse men, and heedes of the housholdes of theyr fathers.

²¹ Yee amonge thre, he was more honorable then the two, for he was their captayne. Howbeit, he attayned not vnto the thre. ²² Banaia the sonne of Iehoiada (the sonne of a very stronge man) dyd greater actes then Cabzeel: for he slue two strong lyons of Moab, and went downe, and slue a Lyon in a pyt in time of snowe.

²⁰ As he went to Ziklag, there fell to hym of Manasseh: Adna Iozadad, Iediel, Michael, Iozabad, Elihu and Zilthai, heedes of the thousandes that were of Manasse.

² And when Iacob sawe them, he said thys is Goddes hoost: & called the name of that same place Mahanaim.

¹⁴ And he sayde, Naye, but as a captayne of the hoste of the lord am I now come. And Iosua fell on his face to the erth, and dyd reuerence, & sayde vnto hym, what sayth my Lorde vnto hys seruaunt?

² And so Dauid went thither with his two wyues, Ahinoam the Iesrahelite, & Abigail Nabals wyfe the Carmelite. ³ And the men that were wyth him, dyd Dauid carye vp also, euery man with his housholde. And they dwelt in the townes of Hebron. ⁴ And the men of Iuda came, and there they anoynted Dauid kynge, ouer the house of Iuda. And they tolde Dauid sayinge: It is the men of Iabes in Gilead that buryed Saul.

¹ There was longe warre betwene the howse of Saul, and the howse of Dauid. But Dauid waxed stronger and stronger, & the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.

⁹ The righteous also will kepe hys waye, and he that hath cleane handes, wyll euer be stronger and stronger.

² Prayse him all ye angels of hys, prayse hym all hys hoost.

¹ The Lorde sayde vnto Samuel: Howe longe wylt thou mourne for Saul, seynge I haue cast hym awaye from raygnynge ouer Israel? Fyll thyne horne with oyntment, and come, that I maye sende the to Isai the Bethlehemite, for I haue prouided me a kynge amonge hys sonnes.

³ And call Isai to the offerynge, and I wyll shewe the, what thou shalt do: And thou shalt anoynt hym whom I name vnto the.

¹² And he sent, & brought hym in. And he was browne, and of an excellent bewtye, & well fauored in syght. And the Lorde sayde: Aryse, and anoynt him, for this is he. ¹³ Therfore Samuel toke the horne wyth the oyntment, & anoynted him in the myddes of hys brethren. And the sprete of the Lorde came vpon Dauid, from that daye forwarde. And Samuel rose vp, and went to Rama.

¹⁸ Now then do it: for the Lorde hath sayd of Dauid: By the hand of my seruaunt Dauid, I will saue my people Israel, out of the handes of the Philistines, and out of the hande of all their enemyes.

¹ Then cam all the trybes of Israel to Dauid, vnto Hebron and sayd, Beholde, we are of thy bone, and of thy fleshe. ² And in tyme past when Saul was oure kynge, thou leddest Israel in and oute. And the Lorde hath sayd to the: thou shalt fede my people Israell, and thou shalt be a captayne ouer Israel. ³ And so all the elders of Israel came to the kynge to Hebron. And kyng Dauid made a couenaunt wyth them in Hebron before the Lord. And they annoynted Dauid kyng ouer Israell.

¹⁴ and asked not of the Lorde. And therfore he slue hym, and turned the kyngdome vnto Dauid the sonne of Isai.

⁶ Yet haue I set my kynge vpon my holy hyll of Syon.

¹⁹ For the Lord is oure defence, The holy one of Israel is oure kynge. ²⁰ Thou spakest somtyme in vysyons vnto thy saynctes, and saydest: I haue layed helpe vpon one that is myghty, I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.

⁴ And the .vij. yere Iehoiada sent and fet the rulers ouer hundredes, wt the captaynes, & them of the garde, and toke them to hym into the house of the Lorde, and made a bonde wt them, and toke an othe of them in the house of the Lorde, and she wed them the kynges sonne.

⁹ And the captaynes ouer the hundredes dyd, according to all thinges that Iehoiada the preste commaunded: and they toke euery man hys men, that were to come in on the Sabboth daye with them that shuld go out on the Sabboth, and came to Iehoiada the preste.

¹⁸ And the chefe captayne of the men of warre toke Saraia the chefe preste, and Zephoniah the hyest preste saue one, and the thre kepers of the holy thynges.

⁴⁹ But Aaron & hys sonnes burnt incense vpon the aulter of burntofferynge & on the aulter of incense (and were apoynted) for all that was to do in the place moste holy, and to make an attonement for them of Israel, accordynge to all that Moses the seruaunt of God had commaunded. ⁵⁰ These are the sonnes of Aaron: Eleazar, whose sonne was Phinehes, & his sonne Abisua: ⁵¹ & his sonne Boki, whose sonne was Uzi, and hys sonne Zerahia: ⁵² and the sonne of hym Meraioth, and hys sonne Amaria, and the sonne of hym, Ahitob: ⁵³ and Zadoc hys sonne, and Ahimaaz hys sonne. ⁵⁴ And these are the dwellynge places of them (thorowe out theyr townes & coastes) euen of the sonnes of Aaron thorow out the kynredde of the Caathites, for so the lot fell for them. ⁵⁵ And they gaue vnto them Hebron in the lande of Iuda & the Suburbes therof rounde aboute it. ⁵⁶ But the felde of the cytie, & the villages pertaynynge therto they gaue to Caleb the sonne of Iephune. ⁵⁷ And to the sonnes of Aaran they gaue the cyties of refuge: euen Hebron and Libna, with theyr Suburbes: Iathyr & Esthemoa wyth their Suburbes:

²⁰ And Phinces the sonne of Eleazar was their foregyde, and the Lorde was with him.

¹⁷ Amonge the Leuites: Hasabia the sonne of Kemuel. Amonge the Haromites: Zadock.

¹⁷ And Sadoch the sonne of Ahitob, & Abimelech the sonne of Abiathar were the Preastes, and Saraia was the Scrybe.

⁸ But Sabock the preast, Banaiahu the sonne of Iehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Semei and Rei, and all the men of myght which were with Dauid, fauoured not Adonia.

³⁵ And the kynge put Banaiahu the sonne of Iehoiada in hys rowme ouer the hoost and put Sadock the preste in the rowme of Abiathar.

⁸ Ahitob begat Zadoc, and Zadoc begat Ahimaaz.

⁵³ and Zadoc hys sonne, and Ahimaaz hys sonne.

¹⁵ But the prestes, the leuites, the sonne of Sadoch, that kepte the holy ordynaunces of my sanctuary, when the chyldren of Israel were gone fro me, shall come to me, to do me seruyce, to stande before me, and to offre me the fat and the bloude, sayth the Lorde God.

²³ Than he toke his brethren with hym and folowed after him .vii. dayes iourney, & ouer toke hym at the mounte Gilead.

⁸ But Abner the sonne of Ner that was captayne of Sauls host, ⁹ toke Isboseth the sonne of Saul, and brought him to Mahanaim, and made hym kynge ouer Gilead, and ouer the Assurites, & ouer Iesrahel, Ephraim, BenIamin, and ouer all Israel.

² They were weapened with bowes, & coulde hurlle stones with the ryght hande and with the lyft and shote arowes oute of a bowe, & were of Sauls brethren, euen of Beniamin.

⁴ But there were gyauntes in the erth in those dayes: yee and after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daughters of men, and they had gendred vnto them, the same became myghtye men of the worlde, and men of renowne.

¹ This was the lotte of the tribe of Manasses, which was the Eldest sonne of Ioseph. And Machir the Eldest sonne of Manasses which was the father of Gilead (and a man of warre) had Gilead and Basan, ² This was the possession of the rest of the children of Manasses by their kinredes: Namely, of the children of Abiezer: the children of Helek: the children of Ariel: the children of Sichem, the children of Hepher: the children of Semida: for these were the male children of Manasses the sonne of Ioseph by their kinredes. ³ But Zelaphead the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasses, had no sonnes but daughters whose names are these: Mahela, Noa, Hagla, Melcha & Thirza: ⁴ which came before Eleazar the preaste, & before Iosua the sonne of Nun, & before the Lordes saying: the Lorde commaunded Moses to geue vs an enheritaunce amonge oure brethren. And therfore according to the commaundement of the Lord, he gaue them an enherytaunce amonge the brethren of their father. ⁵ And there felle ten porcyons to Manasses, besyde the lande of Gilead & Basan, which is on the other syde Iordan: ⁶ because the daughters of Manasses dyd enherett amonge hys sonnes. And Manasses other sonnes, had the lande of Gilead. ⁷ And the cooste of Manasses was from Aser to Machmathah that lieth before Sichem and went a longe on the ryght hande, euen vnto the enhabiters of Entaphuah, ⁸ & the land of Thaphuah belonged to Manasses, whych Thaphuah is besyde the border of Manasses, and besyde the border of the children of Ephraim. ⁹ And the cooste descended vnto the ryuer Canah southwarde, euen to the ryuer of the cyties of Ephraim, and betwene the cyties of Manasses. The cooste of Manasses wente also on the northsyde to the ryuer, & the endes of it go out at the see: ¹⁰ so that the south pertayned to Ephraim, & the northe to Manasses, and the see is hys border. And they mette togeather in Aser northwarde, and in Isacar eastwarde. ¹¹ And Manasses had in Isacar & in Aser, Bethsean, & her townes: Iiblean, and hir townes: & the enhabitoures of Dor, wyth the townes: pertaynyng to the same: & the enhabitoures of Endor with the townes of the same: and the enhabitoures of Thaanath with her townes: and the enhabitoures of Magedo with the townes of the same, euen thre contreys. ¹² Yet the children of Manasses coulde not ouercome those cyties. But the Cananites presumed to dwell in the same land, ¹³ Neuerthelesse, assone as the children of Israel were waxed strong, they put the Cananites vnder tribute, but expelled them not. ¹⁴ And the chyldren of Ioseph spake vnto Iosua saying: why hast thou geuen me but one lotte and one porcyon to enheret, seing I am a great people, & for as moche as the Lorde hath blessed me hitherto? ¹⁵ and Iosua answered them: yf thou be moche people, then gett the vp to the wodde contreye, and prepare for thy selffe there in the lande of the Pheresites & of the Giauntes, yf mounte Ephraim be to narowe for the. ¹⁶ And the children of Ioseph sayd: The hill is not ynough for vs: & all the Cananites that dwel in the lowe contreye haue charettes of yron, & so haue they that enhabite Bethsean, and the townes of the same, & they also dwel in the valeye of Iezreel. ¹⁷ And Iosua sayde vnto the house of Ioseph, Ephraim & Manasses: ye be moche people, and haue great power, & shall not therfore haue one lotte. ¹⁸ Therfore the hill shalbe youres, & ye shall cut downe the wodd that is in it: & the endes of it shalbe youres, yf ye cast out the Cananites which haue yron charettes, & are very stronge.

¹⁴ Isachar a stronge asse couchynge hym downe betwene .ij. bordens,

¹³ And the kyng spake to the wyse men, that had vnderstanding in the ordinaunces of the land, for the kynges matters must be handled before all soch as haue knowledge of the lawe and iudgement:

⁸ The wysdome of hym that hath vnderstanding is, to take hede vnto his waye but the folyshnesse of the vnwyse disceaueth.

⁵ A wyse man is euer stronge, yee, a man of vnderstanding encreaseth of strength.

¹⁹ Wysdome geueth more corage vnto the wyse, then ten myghtie men of the citye:

¹⁸ For wysdome is better then harnesse: but one vnthryst alone destroyeth moch good.

¹² And in that daye dyd the Lorde God of hoostes call men vnto wepyng and mournyng, to baldnesse & gyrdyng aboute wyth sack cloth. ¹³ And Behold, they haue ioye and gladnesse, slayeng oxen & kylling shepe eatyng flesh & drynkyng wyne: Let vs eate and drynke: for tomorowe we shal dye ¹⁴ And it came to the eares of the Lord of hoostes: This iniquite shall not be pourged from you till ye dye, sayeth the lord God of hostes.

⁶ And a sure stablysshing of thy tymes shalbe strength, health, wisdome & knowledge: and the very feare of the Lorde shalbe the treasure of it.

⁹ The Lordes voyce crieth vnto the citye, & the man that shall be saued considerethe thy name (O Lorde) Herken what is your rodde, & here him that warnith you?

³ And in the mornynge: It wylbe foule wether to daye, for the skye is glowmyng reed. O ye ypocrites, ye can discerne the outward appearaunce of the skye: but can ye not discerne the sygnes of the tymes?

⁵⁶ Ye ypocrytes, ye can discerne the outwarde appearaunce of the skye and of the erthe: but how happeneth it, that ye cannot skyll of this tyme? ⁵⁷ Yee, and why iudge ye not of youre selues what is ryght.

¹⁷ Wherfore, be ye not vnwyse, but vnderstande what the wyll of the Lorde is,

² They talke of vanyte, euery one wyth hys neyghboure, they do but flatter wyth theyr lyppes & dyssemble in theyr double herte.

⁴⁷ Iesus sawe Nathanael comynge to him, & sayeth of him: Beholde a ryght Israelyte, in whom is no gyle.

³³ And of Zabulon that went out to the battayll and proceded forth to the warre, wt all maner of instrumentes of warre, fyftye thousand that were prepared to the warre, without anye dublenesse of hart.

⁷ These shall runne lyke gyauntes, and leape ouer the walles lyke men of warre. Euery man in his goinge shall kepe hys araye, and not goo out of hys path.

³³ And Moses gaue vnto the chyldren of Gad and to the children of Ruben, and vnto halfe the trybe of Manasse the sonne of Ioseph, the kingdome of Sehon kynge of the Amorites, and the kingdome of Og king of Basan, the lande wt the cityes therof in the coastes and cityes of the countrey rounde about. ³⁴ And the children of Gad buylt Dibon & Ataroth, & Aroer, and Atroth, ³⁵ Sophan Iaeser, &, Iegabea, ³⁶ Bethnimra, & Betharan, fenced cities, & they buylt foldes for the shepe. ³⁷ And the children of Ruben buylt Hesbon, Eleale, Kiriathaim, ³⁸ Nebo, Baal, Meon, & turned their names, & Sibama also: and gaue other names vnto the cityes which they builded. ³⁹ And the children of Machir the sonne of Manasse went to Gilead, and toke it, & put out the Amorites that dwelt therin. ⁴⁰ And Moses gaue Gilead vnto Machir the sonne of Manasse, and he dwelt therin. ⁴¹ And Iahir the sonne of Manasse went and toke the small townes therof, and called them Hauoth Iair. ⁴² And Nobah went and toke kenath, and the townes longyng therto, & called it Nobah after his awne name.

¹² And so we conquered this lande the same tyme, from Aroer whych is by the ryuer of Arnon, vnto halfe mount Gilead, & the cities therof gaue I vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites. ¹³ And the rest of Gilead and all Basan of the kyngdome of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe trybe of Manasse: euen all the rygyon of Argob with all Basan: which is called the lande of gyauntes. ¹⁴ Iair the sonne of Manasse toke all the region of Argob vnto the coastes of Gesuri and Maachati, and called them after hys owne name: Basan Hauoth Iair vnto thys daye. ¹⁵ And I gaue Gilead vnto Machir. ¹⁶ And vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites I gaue halfe Gilead vnto the ryuer of Arnon, halfe the valey & beyonde, euen vnto the ryuer Iabock, which is the border of the chyldren of Ammon:

⁷ Now therfore deuide thys land to enheret, vnto the nyne trybes & the halfe trybe of Manasses. ⁸ For with the other halfe the Rubenites and the Gaddites haue receaued theyr enheritaunce, whych Moses gaue them beyonde Iordan eastwarde: euen as Moses the seruaunt of the Lord gaue them: ⁹ from Aroer that lyeth on the brym of the ryuer Arnon, and from the citie that is in the myddes of the ryuer. And all the playn of Medeba vnto Dibon, ¹⁰ & all the cyties of Sehon kynge of the Amorites, which raygned in Hesbon, euen vnto the border of the chyldren of Ammon: ¹¹ and Gilead, & the border of Gesuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, with all Basan vnto Salecah: ¹² euen all the kyngdom of Og in Basan, whyche raygned in Astharoth and Edrai, which same remayned yett of the rest of the Giauntes. These dyd Moses smyte, & cast them out ¹³ Neuerthelesse the chyldren of Israel expelled not the Gesurites & the Machathites: But the Gesurites and the Machathites dwell amonge the Israelites euen vnto this daye, ¹⁴ Only vnto the trybe of Leui, he gaue none enheritaunce: But the offrynge of the Lorde God of Israel is theyr enheritaunce, as he sayde vnto them. ¹⁵ Moses gaue vnto the trybe of the chyldren of Ruben enheritaunce accordyng to theyr kynredes. ¹⁶ And theyr coast was from Aroer that lyeth on the bancke of the ryuer Arnon, & from the citie that is in the myddes of the ryuer, and all the playne which is by Medeba, ¹⁷ Hesbon, wyth all their townes that that lye in the playne: Dibon and the hyll places of Baal, and the house Baalmeon: ¹⁸ and Iahazah, and kedemoth and Mephaah ¹⁹ Kiriathaim, Sabamah and Zarath Zahar in the mounte of the valley, ²⁰ the house of Peor, and the sprynges of the hylles: and Bethiesimoth: ²¹ and all the cyties of the playne. And all the kyngdome of Sehon kynge of the Amorites, whych raygned in Hesbon, which Moses smote with the lordes of Madian, Eui, Rekem, Zur, and Hur and Reba, the which were dukes of Sehon dwellyng in the contrey. ²² And Balaam also the sonne of Beor the sothesayer, dyd the children of Israel slaye with the swerde, among other of them that were slayne. ²³ And the border of the chyldren of Ruben was Iordan with the contrey that lyeth theron. This was the enheritaunce of the chyldren of Ruben after their kynredes, cyties & villages pertaynynge therto. ²⁴ And Moses gaue enheritaunce vnto the trybe of Gad, euen vnto the chyldren of Gad he gaue by theyr kynredes. ²⁵ And theyr costes were Iazer, & all the cyties of Gilead, and halfe the lande of the chyldren of Ammon, vnto Aroer that lyeth before Rabba. ²⁶ And from Hesbon vnto Ramoth, Mazphah, & Betonim: and from Mahanaim vnto the borders of Lidbir. ²⁷ And in the valeye they had Betharan Bethnimra, Socoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kyngdome of Sehon kyng of Hesbon, vnto Iordan and the costes that lye theron, euen vnto the edge of the see of Ceneroth, on the other syde Iordan eastward. ²⁸ This is the enheritaunce of the children of Gad after their kynredes, their cyties and villages. ²⁹ And Moses gaue enheritaunce vnto the halfe trybe of Manasses. And this was the possession of the halfe trybe of Manasses by theyr kynredes. ³⁰ Theyr coste was from Mahanaim, euen all Basan, & all the kyngdom of Og kynge of Basan, and all the townes of Iair which lye in Basan, euen thre skore cyties, ³¹ & halfe Gilead, Astaroth, & Edrai, cyties of the kyngdome of Og in Basan whiche pertayne vnto the chyldren of Machir the sonne of Manasses, euen the halfe porcion of the chyldren of Machir by theyr kynredes. ³² These are the thinges which Moses did distribute in the feldes of Moab, on the other syde Iordan ouer against Iericho eastward.

³ For Moses had geuen enheritaunce vnto two trybes and an halfe on the other syde Iordan. But vnto the Leuites he gaue none enheritaunce amonge them.

¹ Then Iosua called vnto the Rubenites, the Gaddites and to the halfe trybe of Manasses, ² and sayde vnto them: ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded you, and haue obeyed my voyce in all that I commaunded you: ³ ye haue not lefte youre brethren of a long ceason vnto this daye, but haue kept the commaundement of the Lorde youre God. ⁴ And now that the Lorde hath geuen rest vnto youre brethren as he promysed them, therfore retourne ye, and go vnto youre tentes, & vnto the lande of youre possession, which Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde gaue you on the other syde Iordan. ⁵ But in any wise take diligent hede, and do the commaundement and lawe, whych Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde charged you: that ye loue the Lorde youre God, and walke in all hys wayes, and kepe hys commaundementes, and cleaue vnto him, and serue him with all youre hertes, & all youre soules. ⁶ And so Iosua blessed them and sent them awaye. And they went vnto theyr tentes. ⁷ Unto the one halfe of the trybe of Manasses Moses gaue possession in Basan: & vnto the other halfe therof gaue Iosua amonge their brethren on this syde Iordan westwarde. And Iosua sent them awaye also vnto their tentes, and blessed them, ⁸ and sayd vnto them: retourne with moche ryches vnto youre tentes, and with a great multitude of catell, with syluer and golde, with brasse, and yron, and with moch rayment and deuide the spoyle of youre enemyes with youre brethren. ⁹ And the children of Ruben, the children of Gad, and halfe the trybe of Manasses, returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Silo (which is in the lande of Canaan) to go vnto the contreye of Giliad, to the lande of their possession, which they had opteyned, according to the worde of the Lorde by the hande of Moses. ¹⁰ And when they came vnto the place of Geliloth besyde Iordan (that is in the lande of Canaan) there the children of Ruben, the children of Gad and the halfe trybe of Manasses, buylt an altare faste by Iordan, and that a great altare to se to.

¹ The sonnes of Ruben the eldest sonne of Israel: for asmoche as he was the eldest, and had defyled hys fathers bedd, his byrthryght was geuen vnto the sonnes of Ioseph the sonne of Israel. Howbeit, the genealogy is not rekoned after this byrthryght. ² For Iuda, he preuayled aboue hys brethren, and of this trybe came the chefe, and the byrthryght was geuen to Ioseph. ³ The sonnes then of Ruben the eldest sonne of Israel were: Henoch, Phalu, Hezron and Charmi. ⁴ The sonnes of Ioel: Samaiah: hys sonne, Gog hys sonne, and Semhi hys sonne, ⁵ Micah hys sonne, Reaia hys sonne, and Baal hys sonne, ⁶ Beera hys sonne. Whome Thiglath Pylneser kynge of Assyria caryed awaye: for he was a great lorde among the Rubenites. ⁷ And when hys brethren in theyr kynredes, rekoned the genealogye of theyr generacyons: Ieiel and Zachariah were the chefe. ⁸ And Baal the sonne of Azan, the sonne of Sema, the sonne of Ioel, dwelt in Aroer: and so forthe vnto Nebo and Baalmeon. ⁹ And eastwarde, he enhabited vnto the entrynge in of the wyldernesse, from the ryuer Euphrates: for they had moche catell in the lande of Gilead. ¹⁰ And in the dayes of Saul, they warred with the Hagarites, which were ouerthrowen into theyr hande. And they dwelte in theyr tentes thorowout all the east lande of Gilgal.

⁸ Iuda thou art he, whom thy brethren shall prayse. Thy hande shalbe in the necke of thyne enymies, thy fathers chyldren shall stoupe before the. ⁹ Iuda is a lyons whelpe, From thy spoyle my sonne thou art come an hye. He layde hym downe and couched hym selfe as a lyon, and as a lionesse. Who wyll stere hym vp? ¹⁰ The sceptre shall not departe from Iuda, and a lawgeuer from betwene hys fete, vntyll. Sylocome. And vnto hym shall the gatherynge of the people be.

⁶¹ Let youre herte therfore be perfecte with the Lord oure God, that ye walke in hys statutes, and kepe hys commaundementes, as thys daye.

⁴ For it came to passe, when Salomon was olde, hys wyues turned his herte after other Gods: and his herte was not perfecte with the Lord his God, as was the herte of Dauid his father:

³ I beseche the nowe, O Lorde, remembre howe I haue walked before the in trueth and with a perfecte herte, and haue done that which is good in thy syght, and Hezekia wepte sore.

¹⁷ And Dauid went out to mete them and answered, and sayde vnto them, If ye be come peasablye vnto me, to helpe me, myne hert shalbe knytt vnto you. But and yf you come to betraye me to myne aduersaryes (seynge ther is no wyckednes in myne handes) the God of oure fathers loke theron and rebuke it. ¹⁸ And the spiryte came vpon Amasai which was the chefe amonge thyrtye, and he sayde, thyne are we Dauid, and on thy syde thou sonne of Iesai: Peace, peace be vnto the, and peace be to thyne helpers, for thy God is thine helpe. Then Dauid receaued them, and made them heedes of companyes of the men of warre.

¹² And the hande of God was in Iuda, so that he gaue them one hert, to do the commaundement of the kyng and of the rulers, accordyng to the worde of the Lorde.

² O let me haue vnderstandynge in the waye of godlynesse: Whan wylt thou come vnto me? I wyll walcke in my house with a perfecte herte.

³ In the daye of thy power shall thy people offre the frewyll offrynges wt an holy worshippe, the dewe of thy byrth is of the wombe of the mornyng.

¹⁹ And I wyll geue you one hert, and I wyll plante a newe sprete wythin your bowels. That stony herte will I take out of your body, and geue you a flesshy herte?

³⁰ And he made them a feast, & they dyd eate & drincke.

⁵⁴ Then Iacob dyd sacrifyce vpon the mounte, & called his brethren to eate breed. And they dyd eate breed & taryed all nyght in the hyll.

¹⁹ & gaue among all the folke, euen amonge the hole multitude of Israel, as well to the wemen as men, to euerye one a Cake of breed, & a pece of fleshe, & a flasket of drincke. And so all the people departed euery one to his house.

⁴² And all the men of Iuda answered the men of Israel: the kynge is nere of kynne to vs: wherfore be ye angrye for that matter? thynke ye that we eate of the kynges cost, or that we take vs any gyftes?

¹⁸ Then Abigail made hast, & toke two hundred loues, & two bottelles of wine, and fyue shepe readye dressed, and fyue measures of parched corne, and an hundred frayles of reasyngs, and two hundred topnettes of fygges, and laded them on asses,

¹ And when Dauid was a lytle past the toppe of the hyll: beholde Ziba the seruaunt of Miphiboseth came to mete hym with a couple of Asses sadeled, and vpon them two hundred loues and one hundred bonches of Resynges, and an hundred frayles of dryed fygges, and a bottell of wyne.

²⁷ And when Dauid was come to Mahanaim, Sobi the sonne of Nahas out of Rabba the citie of the children of Ammon, & Machir the sonne of Ammiel out of Lodeber, and Berzelai the Gileadite out of Roglim, ²⁸ brought beddes, basens, erthen vesselles, wheat & barly, floure, and parched corne, beanes, rice, ootmell, hony, ²⁹ butter, shepe and chese of kyene, for Dauid and all the people that were with him, to eate. For they sayd: The people is hongrye, weerye, and thyrstye in the wyldernesse.

⁴⁰ And all the people cam vp after him, pyping with pipes and reioysynge greatlye, so that the erth range with the sounde of them.

²⁰ And all the people of the lande reioysed, and the cytye was in quyet. And they slue Athalia wt the swearde besyde the kinges palace.

¹⁰ When it goeth well with the ryghteous, the cytie is mery: and when the vngodly peryshe, there is gladnesse.

² When the ryghteous haue the ouerhande, the people are in prosperite: but when the vngodly beareth rule, there the people mourne.

⁵ Beholde, the tyme commeth, sayeth the Lorde, that I wyll rayse vp the ryghteous braunche of Dauid, which kynge shall beare rule, and he shall prosper with wysedome, & shall set vp equite & righteousnes agayne in the erth. ⁶ In this tyme shall Iuda be saued, and Israell shall dwell without feare. And this is the name that they shal call him: euen the Lorde oure ryghteousnesse.

³⁷ And when he was now come nye to hye goyng downe of the mounte Olyuete, the whole multitude of the discyples began to reioyce, & to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the myracles that they had sene, ³⁸ sayinge: blessed be the kynge that commeth in the name of the Lorde: peace in heauen, and glory in the hyest:

⁵ And a voyce came out of the seat, sayinge: praise our Lord God all ye that are his seruauntes, & ye that feare hym both small and great. ⁶ And I herde the voyce of moche people euen as the voyce of many waters, & as the voyce of strong thondrynges sayinge: Alleluia, for the Lord our God omnipotent raygneth. ⁷ Let vs be glad and reioyce, & geue honoure to him, for the mariage of the lambe is come, and hys wyfe made her selfe ready.
