The Trauels of IORAM King of Iudah.

IOram signifies, The Exalted of the Lord. He was crowned king (his father yet liuing) at such time as he made his expedition against Mesa King of the Moabites, which hapned about the fift yere of Iehoram King of Israel, An. mundi 3055, before Christ 913. He reigned with his father Iehosaphat 2 yeares, and after his decease six. So Ioram reigned 8 yeares ouer Iudah, and when hee was forty yeares old died miserably, 2 Reg. 8. 9.

About the beginning of the second yeare of this Kings reign, (which was the sixt of Iehoram King of Israel) Elias the Prophet was taken vp into heauen. About the beginning of his reigne he went from Ierusalem to Mount Seir, which was 28 miles South∣ward; where he vsed such extreme cruelty toward the Edomites, which at this time were his subiects, that of a sudden they fell from him, and chose them a King of their own, 2 Reg. 8.

From the Mountain of Seir he returned to Ierusalem which is 28 miles, and there cruelly put to death his owne brothers. But God stirred vp against him the Philistines and Arabians, who broke into Iuda, and destroyed it with fire and sword. They also went to Ierusalem, and tooke thence all his substance and riches, put his children to the sword, all but Ioachas, which also called A∣haziah or Ochorias; & caried away his wiues captiue into Arabia Foelix, which is neer vnto Ethiopia, 1200 miles. Then the Lord

strooke him with an extreme paine in his bowels, of which after two yeares he died, and was buried without any funerall pomp or honorable respect, neere to the Kings tower. A man vnworthy to be buried in the sepulchre of the rest of the Kings, because hee so much degenerated from Dauid his predecessor, 2 Reg. 8. 2 Chr. 28.

So all the trauels of Ioram were 56 miles.
