1 KINGS XVI. vers. 23. to the end.

[World 3076] [Asa 28] [Omri 2] [Division 47] FROM this second of Omri [Asa 29] [Omri 3] [Division 48] 42 years are reckoned to [Asa 30] [Omri 4] [Division 49] Ahaziah, 2 Chron. 22. 2. of which [Asa 31] [Omri 5] [Division 50] when we come there.

[Asa 32] [Omri 6] [Division 51] In the one and thirtieth year of [Asa 33] [Omri 7] [Division 52] Asa Tibni is conquered, and [Asa 34] [Omri 8] [Division 53] Omri is sole King: He reigneth [Asa 35] [Omri 9] [Division 54] six years in Tirzah, and then re∣moveth [Asa 36] [Omri 10] [Division 55] to Samaria, which he had [Asa 37] [Omri 11] [Division 56] built; for Zimri had fired the [Omri 12] Kings Palace at Tirza. Omri is more wicked then any that went before him; he maketh cursed Statutes, Mich. 6. 16.

[Ahab. 1] AHAB reigneth in the 38 [Ahab. 2] year of Asa, 1 King. 16. 29. and [Asa 38] doth more wickedly then his fa∣ther [World 3086] [Asa 39] [Division 57] Omri had done: He bring∣eth [World 3087] [Ahab. 3] [Division 58] in the Sidonian Idoll Baal in∣to [Asa 40] [Division 59] request in Israel, and addeth that Idolatry to the Idolatry with the golden Calves: He had married a Sidonian woman Jezabell an Idolatress, a Murdress, [World 3089] [Asa 41] [Ahab 1] [Ahab. 4] [Division 60] a Witch, and an Whore; and it is no wonder if Ahab grew to a height of wickedness indeed, [Ahab 2] [Ahab. 5] [Division 61] when he had such a father as Om∣ri to bring him up, and such a wife as Jezabell to lye in his bo∣som.
