2 Paralipomenon — Chapter 26
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 5
(a) So long as this King obserued the ordinance of God to be directed by the high Priest Num. 27. v. 11. he prospered in his affaires.
Verse 16
(b) For vsurping spiritual authority which pertayned not to him, the high Priest with his assistantes opposed the King: and God confirmed their sentence by striking the same King with leprosie. And so he was not only cast out of the temple, but also out of his Kingdome, and common conuersation with other men, and forced to dwel in a separate house without the citie according to the law. Leuit. 13. v. 46.
Verse 23
(c) Neither could he be buried in the proper sepulchres of the Kings.
