Ahias.
THis Ahias was of Silon,* 1.1 where the tabernacle out of the Citie of Heli was. He died, was buried nighe the Oke in Silon. He is called al∣so Adonias.
Epiphanius wryteth thus of Ahias.
AHias the Selonite, born in Selom, of the tribe of Iuda, where the old tabernacle of the Arke, out of Armathen, the towne of Heli the Priest was to be seene. This is that Prophet which prophecied of Salomon the sonne of Dauid, that he woulde fall from the Lord. He rebuked Ieroboam, saying, that when he came to be king, he woulde deale vnfaithfully with the Lord. He sawe in a vision a yoke of oxen destroying the people, and assaulting the priestes. He prophecied vnto Solomon, that women woulde withdrawe his minde from the Lord. This Ahias became so olde that his sight was dimme, he died not farre from the Oke in Silo, and there was buried.
