CHAP. XLVII.
1 The praise of Nathan, 2 Of Dauid, 12 Of Solomon his glory, and infirmities. 23 Of his end and punishment.
1And after him rose vp Nathan to prophesie in the time of Dauid.1
2As is the fat taken away from the peace offering, so was Dauid chosen out of the children of Israel.
3Hee played with Lions as with kids, and with beares as with lambs.3
4Slew he not a gyant when hee was yet but yong? and did he not take away reproch from the people, when he lifted vp his hand with the stone in the sling, and beat downe the boasting of Goliah?4
6So the people honoured him with ten thousands, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in that hee gaue him a crowne of glory.6
7For hee destroyed the enemies on euery side, and brought to nought the Philistines his aduersaries, and brake their horne in sunder vnto this day.7
9He set singers also before the Altar, that by their voyces they might make sweet melody, and daily sing praises in their songs.9
10He beautified their feasts, and set in order the solemne times, vntill the ende, that they might praise his holy Name, and that the Temple might sound from morning.10
11The Lord tooke away his sinnes, and exalted his horne for euer: he gaue him a couenant of kings, and a throne of glory in Israel.11
12After him rose vp a wise sonne, and for his sake he dwelt at large.
13Salomon reigned in a peaceable time, and was honoured; for God made all quiet round about him, that hee might build an house in his Name, and prepare his Sanctuary for euer.13
14How wise wast thou in thy youth, & as a flood filled with vnderstanding.14
15Thy soule couered the whole earth, and thou filledst it with dark parables.
16Thy name went farre vnto the Ilands, and for thy peace thou wast beloued.
17The countreys marueiled at thee for thy Songs, and Prouerbs, and Parables, and interpretations.17
18By the Name of the Lord God, which is called the Lord God of Israel, thou didst gather gold as tinne, and didst multiply siluer as lead.18
19Thou didst bow thy loines vnto women, and by thy body thou wast brought into subiection.19
21So the kingdome was diuided, and out of Ephraim ruled a rebellious kingdome.21
22But the Lord will neuer leaue off his mercy, neither shall any of his workes perish, neither will hee abolish the posterity of his elect, and the seed of him that loueth him he will not take away: wherefore he gaue a remnant vnto Iacob, and out of him a roote vnto Dauid.22
23Thus rested Solomon with his fathers, and of his seede he left behinde him Roboam, euen the foolishnesse of the people, and one that had no vnderstanding; who turned away the people through his counsell: there was also Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat, who caused Israel to sinne, and shewed Ephraim the way of sinne:23
24And their sinnes were multiplied exceedingly, that they were driuen out of the land.
25For they sought out all wickednes, till the vengeance came vpon them.
