In the seventeenth year of son of Jotham king of Judah, began to reign, xvi. 1. And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead, 2 Chron. xxvii. 9. • And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead, 2 Kings xvi. 20. And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead, 2 Chron. xxviii. 27. VER. 10. Εζεκίας δὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν Μανασσῆ· Μανασσῆς δὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν ̓Αμών· ̓Αμὼν δὲ ἐγέν νησε τὸν Ἰωσίαν· And Ezekias begata Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat 'Josias; a And Hezekiah slept with his fa thers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead, 2 Kings xx. 21.

And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead, 2 Chron. xxxii. 33. b Ammon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. MATT. 1. 11. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did, 2 Kings xxi. 19, 20. reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done, 2 Kings xxiii. 31-37.

And he (Ammon) was buried in his sepulchreniah; Assir Salathiel his son, 1 Chr. in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his stead, 2 Kings xxi. 26. But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Ammon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead, 2 Chron. xxxiii. 25. VER. 11. Ἰωσίας δὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἰεχονίαν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος· And Josias begat a Jechonias and his brethren, b about the time they were carried away to Babylon; * Some read, Josias begat Jakim, and Jakim begat Jechonias. * Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and put the land to a tribute of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt and died there. And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land to give the mo. ney according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land of every one according to his taxation to give it unto Pharaoh-nechoh. Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he iii. 15-17. b And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land. And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon, 2 Kings xxiv. 14-16. Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away, xxv. 11. And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem. And them that had escaped from the sword, carried he away to Babylon, where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia, 2 Chron. xxxvi. 10. 20. Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem, Jer. xxvii. 20. Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the MATT. 1. 12-16. people that remained, xxxix. 9. Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem, And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire. And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about. Then Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard, carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon and the rest of the multitude. This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty : In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons: In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard, carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred, lii. 11-15.28.30. And the LORD gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god, Dan. i. 2. VER. 12. Μετὰ δὲ τὴν μετοικεσίαν Βαβυλῶνος, Ἰεχονίας ἐγέννησε τὸν Σαλαθιήλ· Σαλαθιήλ δὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ζοροβάβελ· And after they were brought to Babylon, a Jechonias begat Salathiel; band Salathiel begat Zorobabel; a And the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel his son, 1 Chron. iii. 17. Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the al tar of the God of Israel, to offer burntofferings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses, the man of God, Ezra iii. 2. Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God, which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them, v. 2. Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Jerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua, Neh. xii. 1. Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, Luke iii. 27. Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἰωσὴφ τὸν ἄνδρα Μαρίας, ἐξ ἧς ἐγεννήθη Ἰησοῦς ὁ λεγόμενος Χριστός. And Jacob begata Joseph the husband of Mary, bof whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. a Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: when as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee | Christ, when he is come he will tell Mary thy wife for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife. And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called his name JESUS, 18-25. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary, Luke i. 27. And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, iii. 23. And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son, iv. 22. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS, Luke i. 31. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn, ii. 7. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord, 10, 11. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb, 21. c Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas or Jesus which is called Christ? Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified, xxvii. 17.22. The woman saith unto him. I know that Messias cometh, which is called us all things, John iv. 25. VER. 17. Πᾶσαι οὖν αἱ γενεαὶ ἀπὸ ̓ Αβεαὰμ ἕως Δαβίδ, γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες· καὶ ἀπὸ Δαβὶδ ἕως τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος, γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες· καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος ἕως τοῦ Χριστοῦ, γενεαὶ δεκατέσσαρες. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. VER. 18. Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἡ γέννησις οὕτως ἦν· Μνηστυθείσης γὰρ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μαρίας τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, πρὶν ἢ συνελθεῖν αὐτοὺς, εὐξέθη, ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα ἐκ Πνεύματος ἁγίου. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child bof the Holy Ghost. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary, Luke i. 27, &c. If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed and if he have betrothed her unto his son, then shall he deal with her after the manner of daughters, Exod. xxi. 8, 9. If a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife, xxii. 16, also, Deut. xxii. 28, 29. And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in battle, and another man take her, xx. 7. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto a husband. and a man find her in the city, and lie with her, &c. xxii. 23. bAnd I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel, Gen. iii. 15. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel, Isa. vii. 14. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which being interpreted is, God with us, Matt. i. 22, 23. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also that Holy thing which shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God, Luke i. 35. But when the fulness of the time was come God sent forth his Son, made of a woman made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law that we might receive the adoption of sons, Gal. iv. 4, 5. For such an High Priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens, Heb. vii. 26. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me, x. 5. VER. 19. Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ὁ ἀνὴς αὐτῆς δίκαιος ὧν, καὶ μὴ θέλων αὐτὴν παραδειγματίσαι, ἐβουλήθη λάθρα ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν, Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her ba public example, was minded to put her away privily. a Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God, Gen. vi. 9. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious and full of compassion and righteous. A good man sheweth favour and lendeth; he will guide his affairs with discretion, Ps. cxii. 4, 5. The just man walketh in his integrity, Prov. xx. 7. The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just, Isa. xxvi. 7. The just shall live by his faith, Hab. ii. 4. For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him, and when he heard him he did many things, and heard him gladly, Mark vi. 20. And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him, Luke ii. 25. And, behold, there А. м. 4000. was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just, xxiii. 50. And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house and to hear words of thee, Acts x. 22. b And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar, thy daughter-in-law, hath played the harlot; and also, behold she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth and let her be burnt, Gen. xxxviii. 24. And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death, Lev. xx. 10. Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you. If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city and lie with her, Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel because she cried not, being in the city; and the man because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife, so thou shalt put away evil from among you, Deut. xxii. 21-24. They say unto him, Master, this wo. man was taken in adultery in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? John viii. 4, 5. When a man hath taken a wife and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her; then let him write her a bill of divorcement and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house, Deut. xxiv. 1. And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting |
