to_o go_v with_o a_o staff_n untimely_a death_n by_o the_o sword_n and_o penury_n and_o want_n of_o bread_n wherein_o david_n show_v himself_o more_o severe_a against_o his_o own_o servant_n and_o

see_v david_n be_v a_o prophet_n and_o here_o the_o reason_n be_v give_v of_o this_o judgement_n because_o both_o the_o brethren_n consent_v to_o kill_v abner_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n because_o he_o

of_o naaman_n by_o the_o prophet_n sentence_n do_v cleave_v unto_o gehezi_n and_o that_o this_o prophetical_a curse_n be_v effectual_a it_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o jun._n and_o bor._n 4._o it_o be_v then_o resolve_v upon_o that_o david_n both_o as_o a_o prophet_n accurse_a joab_n his_o sin_n of_o blood_n so_o deserve_v and_o as_o a_o wise_a man_n that_o it_o may_v appear_v to_o all_o israel_n that_o david_n be_v no_o way_n consent_v to_o this_o fact_n yet_o these_o doubt_n further_o will_v be_v make_v first_o why_o david_n lay_v this_o curse_n upon_o the_o whole_a family_n not_o except_v the_o innocent_a whereas_o in_o the_o law_n the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o visit_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o generation_n of_o those_o that_o hate_v he_o ans._n 1._o this_o condition_n be_v always_o include_v in_o such_o prophetical_a curse_n though_o it_o be_v not_o express_v 2._o or_o david_n may_v foresee_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v always_o some_o in_o joabs_n family_n who_o sin_n may_v be_v worthy_a of_o those_o plague_n 3._o and_o yet_o in_o temporal_a chastisement_n the_o child_n may_v bear_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n without_o any_o impeachment_n of_o god_n justice_n 2d_o 2._o kin._n 5_o 2d_o so_o the_o prophet_n impose_v the_o plague_n of_o leprosy_n upon_o gehezi_n and_o his_o seed_n for_o ever_o without_o any_o exception_n second_o it_o will_v be_v object_v why_o david_n do_v pronounce_v this_o execration_n rather_o against_o joab_n then_o against_o saul_n which_o put_v the_o lord_n priest_n to_o the_o sword_n ans._n saul_n be_v the_o lord_n anoint_a and_o therefore_o david_n be_v no_o more_o to_o curse_v he_o then_o to_o lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o he_o again_o
