Psal. 89. 38 to 59. and Psal. 132. All which particulars do apparently check and reprehend the contrary late practice of the Subjects and Saints within our three kingdoms and Churches of England Scotland and Ireland 4ly The pietie and loyaltie of Davids Great Officers and Subjects in praying for him and his people in their conferences with and addresses to him I shall instance only in 3. presidents The 1. is that of Joab his chief Captain and General when David commanded him to number the people much against his judgement and disswasions from it 2 Sam. 24. 3. And Joab said unto the King The Lord thy God adde uuto the People how many soever they be and that the eyes of my Lord the King may sée it The 2. is that of Araunah when king David after the three dayes of Pestilence inflicted for his numbring the People came to buy the threshing-floor of him to build an Altar to the Lord that the plague might be stayed from the people 2 Sam. 24. 21 22 23. And Araunah said unto the King The Lord thy God accept thée Both these are direct prayers to God for King David by these two loyal Subjects The 3. president is the gratulatory salutation and prayer of Hushai when he sent him under a pretended revolt from him to his son Absolom who usurped his throne and forced him to flie to undermine Achitophels craftie counsel against him thus recorded 2 Sam. 16. 16. And it came to pass that when Hushai the Archite Davids friend was come unto Absolom he said God save the King God save the King or Let the King live doubling this salutation of and praier for him Whence I inferr these 2. probable if not undeniable Conclusions 1. That this salutation and praier was usual amongst the Israelites not only at their kings Coronations but upon their Officers and Subjects accesses and addresses to them even in king Davids daies as well as in all succeeding ages 2ly That if Hushai thus used it to Absolom a king only by Traterous usurpation of his Fathers Throne he and other loyal Officers subjects used it much more at the inauguration of and their addresses to their lawfull pious king David a man after Gods own heart 3ly The third king over Gods own people was Solomon the first who enjoyed the Crown by inheritance from David his Father by Gods special appointment and crowned king in his Fathers life time to prevent the usurpations of his Brother Adonijah thus recorded in sacred writ 1 kings 1. 30 to 49. When David was old his son Adonijah to defeat Solomon of the Crown making a strong partie caused himself to be proclamed king which David being informed of by Bathsheba Solomons mother he thereupon by the advice of the Prophet Nathan out of a conscientious performance of the Oath he formerly swore in the name of the Lord to Bathsheba that Solomon her son should reign after him which Oath he then renewed commanded Zadock the Priest Nathan and Benaiah to take his servants to cause Solomon his son to ride upon his own mu●… and bring him down to Gihon and there to anoint him King over Israel and blow ye with the trumpet and say God save King Solomon Then ye shall come up after him that he may come and sit upon my throne for he shall be King in my stead and I have appointed him to be ●…uler over Israel and over Judah Whereupon Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the King and said Amen The Lord God of my Lord the King say so too As the Lord hath been with my Lord the King even so be he with Solomon and make his throne greater than the throne of my Lord King David So Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet and Benaiah the son of Jehoiadah and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and caused Solomon to ride upon king Davids Mule and they brought him to Gibeon And Zadok ●…he Priest took an horn of oyle out of the Taberna●…le and anointed Solomon and they blew the Trumpet and all the people said God save King Solomon And all the people came up after him and the people piped with pipes and rejoyced with great joy so that the earth rent with the sound of them and the City rang again Vpon this Jonathan the Son of Abiathar the Priest came in to Adonijah and related the premises to him and all the Ghests that were with him a●…ding also Solomon sitteth on the Throne of the kingdom and moreover the Kings Servants came to bless our Lord King David saying God make the name of Solomon better than thy Name and make his Throne greater than thy Throne and the King bowed himself upon his Bed And also thus said the king Blessed be the Lord God of Israel which hath given me one to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 my Throne this day mine eyes even séeing it After which David assembled all the Princes of Israel the Princes of the Tribes the Captains of the Companies that ministred to the King by course the Captains over the thousands and over the hundreds the Stewards over all the sub●…nce and possessions of the king and of his Sons with the Officers and mighty men and with all the valiant men unto Jerusalem Where standing upon hisfeet he declared to them Gods election of his son Solomon to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel and that he should build God an house then giving the Congregation and Solomon a charge to keep and seek all the commandements of God and to serve him with a perfect heart and willing mind c. he gave Solomon a pattern of the form materials vessels chambers treasuries of the Temple and courses of the Priests After which relating to them the quantity of Gold silver pretious stones brasse and other materials he had provided and dedicated towards the building of the Temple by his example and exhortation he caused both the Princes and people to offer bountifully and willingly both gold silver brasse iron and precious stones for the service of the House of God Whereupon David made a most heavenly thanksgiving and prayer unto God before all the Congregation who joyned with him therein In which praier he and the Congregation used this expression relating to Solomon 2 Chron. 29. 18 19. O Lord God of Abraham Isaac and of Israel our fath●…rs Give unto Solomon my Son a perfect heart to kéep thy Commandements thy Testimonies and thy Statuteo and to do all these things and to build the Palace for which I have made provision After which all the Congregation blessed the Lord God of their Fathers and bowed down their heads and worshipped the Lord and the king And the morrow after they sacrificed sacrifices and offered burnt-offerings unto the Lord even a thousand bullocks a thousand rams and a thousand lambs with their drink-●…ffrings and sacrifices in abundance for all the people and did eat and drink that day before the Lord with gladness and
