CHAP. XLVI.
1 The praise of Ioshua, 9 Of Caleb, 13 Of Samuel.
1 Iesus the sonne of Naue was valiant in the wars, and was the successor of Moses in prophesies, who according to his name was made great for the sauing of the elect of God, and taking vengeance of the enemies that rose vp against them, that he might set Israel in their inheritance.1
2 How great glory gat he when he did lift vp his hands, and stretched out his sword against the cities?2
3 Who before him so stood to it? for the Lord himselfe brought his enemies vnto him.
4 Did not the Sunne goe backe by his meanes? and was not one day as long as two?
8 And of sixe hundred thousand people on foot, they two were preserued to bring them into the heritage, euen vnto the land that floweth with milk & hony.8
10 That all the children of Israel might see that it is good to follow the Lord.
12 Let their bones flourish out of their place, and let the name of them that were honoured, be continued vpon their children.12
13 Samuel the Prophet of the Lord, beloued of his Lord, established a kingdom, & anointed princes ouer his people.13
14 By the Law of the Lord hee iudged the Congregation, and the Lord had respect vnto Iacob.
16 He called vpon the mighty Lord, when his enemies pressed vpon him on euery side, when he offered the sucking lambe.16
17 And the Lord thundered from heauen, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.
18 And he destroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, and all the princes of the Philistines.
19 And before his long sleepe hee made protestations in the sight of the Lord, and his anoynted, I haue not taken any mans goods, so much as a shoe, and no man did accuse him.19
20 And after his death he prophesied, and shewed the King his end, and lift vp his voyce from the earth in prophesie, to blot out the wickednesse of the people.20
