2 CHRON. XXVII. all. 2 KING. XV. from ver. 32. to the end.
[World 3253] [Iotham 1] [Pekah 2] [Division 224] JOTHAM reigneth, and [Iotham 2] [Pekah 3] [Division 225] doth uprightly, and pro∣spereth, [Iotham 3] [Pekah 4] [Division 226] buildeth the Gate be∣tween [Iotham 4] [Pekah 5] [Division 227] the Kings house and the [Iotham 5] [Pekah 6] [Division 228] Temple, and buildeth many [Iotham 6] [Pekah 7] [Division 229] forts in the Country, subdueth [Iotham 7] [Pekah 8] [Division 230] Ammon as his father had done, [Iotham 8] [Pekah 9] [Division 231] bringeth them under a great [Iotham 9] [Pekah 10] [Division 232] Tribute, and executeth some [Iotham 10] [Pekah 11] [Division 233] more of Amos his Prophesie [Iotham 11] [Pekah 12] [Division 234] against them. He was Son to [Iotham 12] [Pekah 13] [Division 235] JERUSASH the daughter [Iotham 13] [Pekah 14] [Division 236] of Zadok the High Priest. This [Iotham 14] [Pekah 15] [Division 237] it may be made Uzziah the [Iotham 15] [Pekah 16] [Division 238] more forward to assail the Priests Office, because he had married the High Priests daugh∣ter, but Jotham, though so much of the Priests Seed, yet did not attempt the like.

[World 3253] [Iotham 1] [Pekah 2] [Division 224] PEKAH seemeth to have [Iotham 2] [Pekah 3] [Division 225] been a Gileadite, and Pe∣kahiah [Iotham 3] [Pekah 4] [Division 226] a Gadite, Pekah with fif∣ty [Iotham 4] [Pekah 5] [Division 227] Gileadites slayeth him in the [Iotham 5] [Pekah 6] [Division 228] Palace at Samaria, and reigneth [Iotham 6] [Pekah 7] [Division 229] wickedly after him. He pro∣veth [Iotham 7] [Pekah 8] [Division 230] a very sore scourge to Ju∣dah [Iotham 8] [Pekah 9] [Division 231] before he dieth. In these [Iotham 9] [Pekah 10] [Division 232] times, even in the days of Jo∣tham [Iotham 10] [Pekah 11] [Division 233] there was an account ta∣ken [Iotham 11] [Pekah 12] [Division 234] of the families of Reuben, [Iotham 12] [Pekah 13] [Division 235] Gad, and half Manasseh, the [Iotham 13] [Pekah 14] [Division 236] inhabitants beyond Jordan, [Iotham 14] [Pekah 15] [Division 237] 1 Chron. 5. 17. and so had [Iotham 15] [Pekah 16] [Division 238] there been in the days of Je∣roboam the second: then at their restoring by Jeroboam out of the hands of Hamath and Syria, and now at their arming against the Assyrian, under whose hand they fall, in the time of Pekah, and are never again restored to Israel.
