geneva@Numbers:1:1 @ And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of (note:)In the place in the wilderness that was near mount Sinai.(:note) Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first [day] of the Which is part of April and part of May. second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, The Argument - In that as God has appointed that his Church in this world shall be under the cross, both so they could learn not to put their trust in worldly things, and also feel his comfort, when all other help fails: he did not immediately bring his people, after their departure out of Egypt, into the land which he had promised them: but led them to and fro for the space of forty years, and kept them in continual exercises before they enjoyed it, to try their faith, teach them to forget the world, and to depend on him. Which trial greatly profited, to discern the wicked and the hypocrites from the faithful and true servants of God, who served him with pure heart, while the other, preferring their earthly lusts to God's glory, and making religion to serve their purpose, complained when they lacked enough to satisfy their lusts, and despised those who God had appointed as rulers over them. By reason of which they provoked God's terrible judgments against them, and are set forth as a notable example for all ages, to beware how they abuse God's word, prefer their own lusts to his will, or despise his ministers. Nonetheless, God is always true to his promise, and governs his by his Holy Spirit, that either they fall not to such inconveniences, or else return to him quickly in true repentance: and therefore he continues his graces toward them, he gives them ordinances and instructions, as well for religion, as outward policy: he preserves them against all deceit and conspiracy, and gives them many victories against their enemies. To avoid all controversies that might arise, he takes away the occasions, by dividing among all the tribes, both the land which they had won, and that also which he had promised, as seemed best to his godly wisdom.

geneva@Numbers:36:8 @ And every daughter, that possesseth an (note:)When there is no male to inherit.(:note) inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.

geneva@Deuteronomy:4:22 @ But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but (note:)Moses good affection appears in that while he himself is deprived of such an excellent treasure, he does not envy those who must enjoy it.(:note) ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

geneva@Joshua:1:15 @ Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant (note:)By your request, but yet by God's secret appointment, (Deu_33:21).(:note) gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.

geneva@Joshua:22:1 @ Then (note:)After that the Israelites enjoyed the land of Canaan.(:note) Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

geneva@Ruth:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the (note:)In the land of Canaan.(:note) land. And a certain man of In the tribe of Judah, which was also called Bethlehem Ephrathat, because there was another city so called in the tribe of Zebulun. Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. The Argument - This book is called Ruth, who is the main person spoken of in this writing. In which also the state of the Church is set forth figuratively, being subject to many afflictions and yet eventually God gives good and joyful offspring, teaching us to abide with patience till God delivers us out of troubles. In this also it is described how Jesus Christ, who according to the flesh came from David, proceeded by Ruth, of whom the Lord Jesus promised to come, nonetheless she was a Moabite of base condition, and a stranger to the people of God; declaring to us by it that the Gentiles would be sanctified by him, and joined with his people, and that there would be one sheepfold, and one shepherd. It would appear that this account belongs to the time of the judges.

geneva@1Samuel:3:14 @ And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for (note:)Meaning that his posterity would never enjoy the chief priests office.(:note) ever.

geneva@1Samuel:18:6 @ And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the (note:)That is, Goliath.(:note) Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.

geneva@2Samuel:1:1 @ Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag; (note:)The Argument - This book and the former are called Samuel, because they contain the conception, birth and the whole course of his life, and also the lives and acts of two kings, that is, of Saul and David, whom he anointed and consecrated kings by the ordinance of God. The first book contains those things which God brought to pass among this people under the government of Samuel and Saul. This second book declares the noble acts of David, after the death of Saul when he began to reign, to the end of his kingdom, and how it was expanded by him. It also contains the great troubles and dangers he sustained both within his house and without, the horrible and dangerous insurrections, uproars, and treasons wrought against him, partly by false counsellors, feigned friends and flatterers and partly by his own children and people. By God's assistance he overcame all difficulties, and enjoyed his kingdom in rest and peace. In the person of David the scripture sets forth Christ Jesus the chief king, who came from David according to the flesh, and was persecuted on every side with outward and inward enemies, as well in his own person, as in his members, but at length he overcomes all his enemies, and gives his Church victory against all power both spiritual and temporal; and so reigns with them, king for ever.(:note)

geneva@2Kings:9:26 @ Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his (note:)By this it is evident that Jezebel caused both Naboth and his sons to be put to death, that Ahab might enjoy his vineyard more quietly: else his children might have claimed possession.(:note) sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD.

geneva@Ezra:6:22 @ And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of (note:)Meaning Darius who was king of the Medes, Persians and Assyrians.(:note) Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

geneva@Nehemiah:8:10 @ Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is (note:)That is, remember the poor.(:note) prepared: for [this] day [is] holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the Rejoice in the Lord, and he will give you strength. joy of the LORD is your strength.
