Use 1 To teach us that Royal state is no Sanctuary nor Preservative from folly and wilfulness. Not only wicked kings, but all, have had their Pangs and strains of folly; Davids Numbering the People, 2 Sam. 24.10. Adultery and Murder. Solomons love of strange Wives, and Toleration yea Countenance of Idolatry. Asa, his League with Benhadad, Imprisonment of the Prophets, and Trust in Physicians. Jehoshaphat, his affinity with Ahab, and League ⟨p. 90⟩with Idolaters. Hezekiah showing his Treasures to the Ambassadors of Babel. Josiah his War against Pharaoh-Necho. Yea Wilfulness found not only in Pharaoh, Exod. 5.1, 2. in Saul, 1 Sam. 20.30 to 33. in Jeroboam, 1 Kings 13.33. in Jehu, 2 Kings 10.29, 31. but sometimes in good kings; in David, 2 Sam. 24. 1 to 4. in Asa, 2 Chron. 16.9, 10.
