10. Quest. v. 11. How the Lord is said to make Dauid an house.

1. The Hebrew phrase, to make an house, is to giue one issue and posteritie: and so the meaning is, that the Lord would giue vnto Dauid a succeeding posteritie, and an enduring family, which should possesse the kingdome after him. Vatab. 2. This priuiledge was not graunted to any of the Iudges, nor vnto Saul: the Kings of Israel after the kingdome was diuided, had some of them a succession in their posteritie, but it continued not long. Among the Romane Emperours from Iulius Cesar to Antoni∣nus, none of them left a sonne to succeede in the Empire. Vespasian had two sonnes, Titus, and Domitian, which were Emperours after him, but they could not leaue it to their sonnes. 3. The Turkes haue had a succession in one family aboue 250. yeares, but it is by parricide and crueltie, the father killeth the sonnes, one brother an other: but Dauids kingdome continued 400. yeares, in a lawfull gouernment.
