^' A ND J—nreigned in the land ; four years
rergnedtt; and he did that*-which- was
*@n the figbrof the Lord, ^d provoked him to
anger; and the people fuffered for their fins which
r they had committed, above all that their fathers
liad done.'„,
3. And it came to pass th the eighth year after
the people came out of the bdufecf bondages that
William the Hibernite kept an h^fe, .which warm,
the midst ofthe city, where the men of the city did
facrifice with offerings of fivory meat, and of bread,
and of wine, which gladdeneth the heart of man.'
3. And the Ettes of the city, a?d their wives
and their sons and their daughter, ofc afembUd at
the house of William the Hibe mite, and danced in
the affembhes of the people ; and before then )the
cunning men founded the trumpets, .«nd pip^d with
pipes, and played on the.timbrels, and f w A in
struments, and rejoiced with exceeding great joy,
To that the foth rent with the found of their ieet
^nd their ratific.
4. And also the wife men of theoity, who kept
The books of Preverbs and cunning foings ; and
alfd such as looked after the poor and the foiourner
Within the land, met at the house of William the
Hibernite.
5. And it tame to pafi, that the day on which
the ^Hibermtes of the city did Sacrifice with copious
offerings of red and mbite wines, J—n sent a mai
den, even ,an Ethiopian damsel, whom he dearly
loved, unto the house of William; and the Ethiopian
was beautiful to look upon.
6. And because William would not freak kindly
Junto the damsel, J —n was wroth aga-nif William,
and said unto him; " I believe the Ethiopian be
fore thee ; thou didst rebel against my command
ments, and thou beared falfe witness again# me,
and again# her;" and William went his way.
7. And William was among the men of roar.
who dwelt in tents, and ' went to battle and over
threw the Btiton^lcs, whom the Lord delivered
into our hands; and he sent word onto J —n, and
said; “ As thou lived, and as thy foul liveth, 1.
will not fuffer this thing from thee."
8, Arid J —m was heavy and displeased, because
of the words which William had spoken unto him;
and he laid him down upon his bed, and turned
away h* face, and would not eat brea?.
9* , And he called unto him bis brethren, and
T— s the Scribe, and R -h the Elder, who
-while the war with the Britonites raged fore, so
journed in the city ofthe Parifites, as Ambaffa-•
dor to the Horenites, who abound with oil, that,
giveth men cheerful countenances.
10. And-tfey faufled, and Hammered, and said
unto J—n, why are thy spirits fad.
<H. And J—n answered and said, I stand in
fear of Wiliam the Hibernite, who is a man of
Belial,and a roarrior.—
12. And bis brethren, and T— sthe Scribe,
and I^ h who holdeth it as an abomination,
that the people Jboald bear rule, said unto fr-n,

not had chariots, and an hundred men to run be
