The Kings of Israel.

Ieroboam raigned 21. yeares, which I prooue thus: Asa king of Iudah beganne to raigne in the twentieth yeere of Ie∣roboam, [ 21] 1. King. chapter 15, verse 9. and Nadab the sonne of Ieroboam beganne to raigne ouer Israel, in the second yere of Asa, 1. King. chapter 15, verse 25: therefore Ieroboam his father whom he succeeded in the kingdome, raigned before his death 21. yeares.

Nadab raigned 2. yeares, 1. King. 15. verse 25. [ 2]

Baasha raigned 24. yeares, 1. King. 15. verse 33. [ 24]

Elah or Hela raigned 2. yeares, 1. King. 16.8. [ 2]

Zimri raigned 7. dayes, 1. King. 16. verses 15, and 16. [daye 7]

Amri or Omri raigned 12. yeares, 1. King. 16.23. [ 12]

[ 22] Achab or Ahab reigned 22. yeeres, 1. King. 16.29.

[ 2] Ochozias or Ahaziah reigned 2. yeeres, 1. King. 22.51.

[ 12] Ioram or Iehoram raigned 12. yeeres, 2. King. 3. verse 1. both these two, to wit, Ochozias and Ioram were the sonnes of Achab.

[ 28] Iehu reigned 28. yeeres, 2. King. 10. verse 36.

[ 17] Ioachas or Iehoahaz reigned 17. yeeres, 2. Kin. 13. ve. 1.

[ 16] Ioas or Iehoash reigned 16. yeeres, 2. King. 13. verse 10.

[ 41] Ieroboam the sonne of Ioas or Ioash reigned 41. yeeres, 4. King. 14. verse 23. where we must note well by the way, that the other Ieroboam was the sonne of Nebat, 1. King. 12.2.

We must heere obserue as a necessarie rule, that betweene [ 23] Ieroboam and Zachariah was an inter-reigne of 23. yeeres. I prooue it, because we reade, 2. Kin. 15.1, 8. that Azariah king of Iudah beganne his raigne in the seuen and twentieth yeere of Ieroboam; as also that Zacharias beganne his raigne in the eight and thirtieth yere of Azariah, to which we must adde, that Ieroboam raigned 41. yeeres, and so the kingdome per∣force was voide 23. yeres. For, if we make abstraction of 14. from 37. the remainder will be 23. yeres for the inter-reigne.

[moneths 6] Zachariah reigned 6. moneths, 2. King. 15.8.

[moneth 1] Sellum or Shallum reigned 1▪ moneth, 2. King. 15.13.

[yeeres 10] Menahem or Manahen reigned 10. yeeres, 2. King. 15.17.

[ 2] Pekahiah or Phaceas reigned 2. yeeres, 2. King. 15.23.

[ 20] Pekah or Phasee raigned 20. yeeres, 2. King. 15.27.

[ 9] Osee or Hosheah reigned 9. yeeres, 2. King. 17. verse 1.

In the dayes of this king, about the yeare of the worlde 3304. beganne the captiuitie.
