SECT. IV.
NExt him did Salomon his Son,* 1.1
the Kingdoms Scepter sway,
There never sate on regal Throne,
his peer unto this day.
For Wealth,* 1.2 for State, for princely Port,
for Plenty and for Peace,
For Wisdom rare, and great resort;
which made his Fame increase.
Witness his Sentence in that Case,* 1.3
of Queans crying out of Wrongs,
His Purveiance,* 1.4 his horses Race,
his Proverbs, Writings, Songs:
Witness the Glorious Temple,* 1.5 which
he built for God's Great Name;
The Carvings, Coverings, Hangings rich,
the Treasures of the same.
Witness his Prayers that excel,* 1.6
for Words, for Zeal, for Fitness,
His Offerings wonderful and well
may that wise Queen bear witness.
Who wondring at the comon fame,
unto his Court resorted,
To hear and see; and when she came,* 1.7
loe! half was not reported.
Yet Solomon who had these Mines
of Wisdom and of Treasure,
By many Wives and Concubines,
and surfeiting in Pleasure;
Was drawn from true Religion* 1.8
and from Sincerity,
To wicked Superstition,
and gross Idolatry.

For which God's Judgment did begin,
his Kingdom rent in twain,
Judah alone and Benjamin,
did to his Heirs remain.
The other Tribes, in number Ten,
from their Allegiance fell;
Set up a King, and nam'd him then,
the King of Israel.
His Throne was at Samaria
on which he ruled them;
But Judah's Seat Imperial,
was fair Jerusalem.
And there did Rehoboam reign,* 1.9
when Shishak rob'd the Temple:* 1.10
And next him, his Son Abiam,* 1.11
the worse for his ill Example.
Then Asa, then Jehosaphat,* 1.12
both good and holy Kings,
For reformation; saving that,* 1.13
they let alone some things.
