[cap. 4] So, now he was establishedsole king of all the Land;His warres and all things flourished, [cap. 5] that he did take in hand.Then solemnely he thought it fit, [cap. 6] to fetch the Arke more neere him,But Vzzahs death did hinder it,Gods iudgement did so feare him.Yet afterward he brought it on,and purposed to reareA house for God; but he would none, [cap. 7] as Nathan did declare.
