 5. And when they were at Salamis I they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. 6. And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: z.

 2l. And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, man of the tribe of \ Benjamin, by the space of forty years. l P. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave tes- l timony, and said, I have found David l the son oe Jesse, man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.
