13 Drawn Reuben's, Gad's, Manasseh's lines.
14 Good Caleb Hebron claims.
15 Next Judah's bounds with all his towns,
16 Are Joseph's and Ephraim's.
17 Enlarg'd is Joseph's second lot,
18 Then Benjamin's they fix;
19 And lots are cast for all the rest;
20 With refuge-cities fix.
21 Forty-eight cities Levi hath,
22 [5] Ed breeds a false surmise;
23 Joshua by threats, and promise treats,
24 A cov'nant makes and dies.
[4] Circumcision and Passover.
[5] An altar call'd Ed, see v. 34
_JUDGES_
1 Acts are rehears'd of divers tribes,
2 Next age doth God provoke;
3 Opprest they pray'd, God sends them aid,
4 Deb'rah breaks Jabin's yoke.
5 Barak's and Deb'rah's thankful song,
6 God Gideon up doth raise;
7 With few he fights the Midianites,
8 And their great captains slays.
9 Curst is Abimelech's cruelty,
10 Israel prays when opprest.
11 Of Ammon's slaughter, and Jephtha's daughter,
12 Shibboleth's make a test.
13 Dan's tribe is fam'd for Samson's birth,
14 His riddle they expound;
15 His fire-brands lights: with jaw-bone fights,
16 By Delilah is bound.
17 Ephod and gods doth Micah make,
18 Stol'n by the men of Dan;
19 A Levite's wife bereft of life.
20 Most all the Benjamites are slain,
21 And Wives for all the rest they gain.
_RUTH_
1 Ruth's kindness unto Naomi
2 She gleans on Boaz land;
3 Her virtues move him her to love,
4 And wed her out of hand.
_I. SAMUEL_
1 A Son by prayer Hannah obtains,
2 How Eli's sons offend;
3 Their doom God tells to Samuel,
4 Ark taken: Eli's end.
5 Before the ark down Dagon falls,
6 The ark again they bring;
7 Jews mourn for sins, smite Philistines,
8 The people ask a king.
9 Choice [6] Saul seeks asses; finds a crown,
10 Doth prophesy when crown'd;
11 With Nahash fights, kills Ammonites,
12 Samuel for grace renown'd.
13 Daring to sacrifice Saul's blam'd,
14 Victorious is his son;
15 For Agag's sake Saul's throne doth shake,
16 And David chose thereon.
17 Encounters and Goliah slays,
18 Saul's younger daughter marries;
19 Saul seeks his life, he's sav'd by's wife,
20 For Jon'than's news he tarries.
21 Flees for his life, at Gath seems mad,
22 Saul kills priests great and small;
23 David escapes Saul's treacherous traps,
24 Cuts off the skirt of Saul.
25 Grants Nabal life for his wife's sake,
26 He takes Saul's spear and cruse;
27 With king of Gath great favour hath,
28 Saul of a witch makes use.
29 Home David is by Achish sent,
30 Finds Ziklag captive gone:
31 Saul with his host and sons are lost,
Here chapters thirty one.
[6] See ver. 2
_II. SAMUEL_
1 A Poem David makes on Saul,
2 Doth king in Judah reign;
3 By treacheries stout Abner dies,
4 And Ishbosheth is slain.
