2 KING. 14 ver. 23. to 29.

[Amaziah 27] [Ierob. 13] [Division 158] Jehu, even from the entring [Amaziah 28] [Ierob. 14] [Division 159] in of Hamath on the North, [World 3189] [Amaziah 29] [Ierob. 15] [Division 160] to the Sea of the plain, or [Amaziah 1] [Ierob. 16] [Division 161] the dead Sea South. He al∣so [Amaziah 2] [Ierob. 17] [Division 162] restoreth Hamath it self, [Amaziah 3] [Ierob. 18] [Division 163] and Damascus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 [Amaziah 4] [Ierob. 19] [Division 164] to Judah in Israel, [Amaziah 5] [Ierob. 20] [Division 165] 2 King. 14. 28. David had [Amaziah 6] [Amaziah 7] [Ierob. 21] [Division 166] conquered them, and they [Amaziah 8] [Ierob. 22] [Division 167] being now revolted, he re∣recovers [Amaziah 9] [Ierob. 23] [Division 168] them to Israel in [Amaziah 10] [Ierob. 24] [Division 169] Judahs title, as fitter to [Amaziah 11] [Ierob. 25] [Division 170] be subject to the Seed of [Ierob. 26] [Division 171] Israel then to Syria. Ju∣dah was not able to recover his own right, for they had

lately been subject to Jeroboams father, and he had sacked Jerusalem, and done with it what pleased; and now Jeroboam his son being a far more potent King, and Judah continuing still in its wickedness, as ha∣ving never recovered strength since Jehoash conquered Amaziah, and pulled down Jerusalem wall, and withal there being now no King on the throne of Judah, this Jeroboam, when he had recovered the two Tribes and half beyond Jordan from Syria, in the right of the King∣dom of Samaria; he also recovers Hamath and Damascus to himself and Israel, in the right and title of Judah, Judah being now exceeding much in his power, since his father had so miserably brought them under.

Of these Victories over the Syrians, Jonah the Prophet prophesied, who lived in these times, but his journey to Niniveh was not as yet, but some space hereafter as shall be observed anon.
