The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

1 KING. XVI. ver. 30. to the end.

[World 3091] [Ahab 3] [Ahab. 6] [Division 62] AHAB doth abominably, [Ahab 4] [Ahab. 7] [Division 63] buildeth a Chappel and [Ahab 5] [Ahab. 8] [Division 64] an Altar to Baal in Samaria. In [Ahab 6] [Ahab. 9] [Division 65] his days Hiel a man of the fami∣ly [Ahab 7] [Ahab. 10] [Division 66] of Rahab, living now in Be∣thel, [Ahab 8] [Ahab. 11] [Division 67] seeing Canaanitish Idolatry, [Ahab 9] [Ahab. 12] [Division 68] and Canaanitish manners come [Ahab 10] [Ahab. 13] [Division 69] on so fast, he is imboldned to set [Ahab 11] [Ahab. 14] [Division 70] on to build Jericho again, to make it a Canaanitish City, but his eldest Son is slain in laying the foundation, and his youngest son in setting up the Gates, ac∣cording to the curse of Joshua denounced upon such an undertaking, above five hundred and thirty years before, 1 King. 17, 18, 19. In the de∣generate and most wicked times of Ahab appeared the glorious piety and Prophetick spirit of Elias, a seasonable reformer when times were come to the very worst: He was of Jabesh Gilead, he shutteth up Heaven that there is no rain for three years and six months, till Baalites be destroyed, and then there is rain enough: He is fed by birds of prey; he feedeth the Sareptane widow, and becometh the first Prophet of the Gentiles: He raiseth her dead Child, destroyeth hundreds of false Prophets, bringeth fire from Heaven, and rain ere long after it: Fasteth forty days and forty nights, seeth the Lord where Moses had seen him, accuseth Israel to him. Is ap∣pointed to anoint Hazael King of Syria, who should plague Israel for their Idolatry, and to anoint Jehu King of Israel, who should destroy the house of incorrigible Ahab, and to anoint Elisha a Prophet in his stead, to go on with the reformation that he had begun. John Baptist was a second Elias, a man in a hairy garment, and leather girdle, 2 King. 1. 8. Matth. 3. 4. of a powerful and operative Ministry, and a great reformer in cor∣rupt times.

1 KING. XX, XXI, & XXII. vers. 51, 52, 53.

[Ahab 12] [Ahab 15] [Division 71] AHAB two years together [Ahab 13] [Ahab 16] [Division 72] hath two great Victories [Ahab 14] [Ahab 17] [Division 73] over the Syrians, but letting [Ahab 15] [Ahab 18] [Division 74] Benhadad go he undoeth himself: [Ahab 16] [Ahab 19] [Division 75] compare the case of Saul about Agag King of Amalek, 1 Sam. 15. Ahab murdereth Naboth for his Vineyard.

[World 3105] [Ahab 17] [Ahab 20] [Ahaziah. 1] [Division 76] AHAZIAH the Son of Ahab reigneth.
