where he is called Jambs also, and renowned to have been noble and very excellent, his mother called him Jambez, because she bare him with most bitter pain, for so doth that name signify in Hebrew: which the father as an unlucky name changed, and in stead of Jambez named his son Othoniel. We read that the same happened unto Benjamin, whom the mother as she was dying, named Benoni, which name because it was not very pleasant nor lucky, Jacob turned and would have him called Benjamin for Benoni. Neither was Othoniel notable only in strength and feats of war, but he was very godly and religious, for in the book of Paralip, and in the place now alleged his prayers are described, ⟨p. 19⟩wherewith he most faithfully called upon God.1 Wherefore the scripture testifieth that his prayer was heard, the Hebrews have added thereunto that he was excellently well learned in the law of the Lord. And these three virtues in one man are most rare, namely to be a good warrior, to be religious, and learned.
where he is called Iambes also, and renowmed to haue bene noble and very excellent, his mother called him Iambez, bycause she bare him with most bitter payne, for so doth that name signifie in Hebrew: whiche the father as an vnluckye name chaūged, and in stead of Iambez named his sonne Othoniel. We read that the same happened vnto Beniamin, whō the mother as she was dyeng, named Benoni, whiche name bycause it was not very pleasaunt nor luckye, Iacob turned and would haue him called Beniamin for Benoni. Neither was Othoniel notable only in strength and feates of warre, but he was very godly and religious, for in the boke of Paralip, and in the place now alledged his prayers are described, ⟨p. 19⟩wherwith he most faithfully called vpō God.1 Wherfore the scripture testifieth that his praier was heard, the Hebrues haue added therunto yt he was excellently wel learned in the law of the Lord. And these thre vertues in one mā are most rare, namely to be a good warriour, to be religious, and learned.
