in another. The word of God acknowledges _David_ the rightful
sovereign
over all utica ny dating _Israel_, for the space of forty years (1
Kings, ii, 11; 1
Chron. xxix, 26, 27); seven of these utica ny dating he is said to have reigned in
_Hebron_, and thirty-three in _Jerusalem_. During the first seven years
of his reign at _Hebron_, there is a positive confinement of his actual
rule
to the tribe of _Judah_ only; 2 Sam. v, 5. And at the same time,
_Ishbosheth_ is said to be made king over all _Israel_, and to have
reigned two years. In agreeableness to Seceding principles, there is no
reconciling these different texts. According to their scheme _David_ utica ny dating can
with utica ny dating no propriety be said utica ny dating to have reigned forty years over utica ny dating all _Israel_,
seeing seven of the years were elapsed before he utica ny dating was actually
acknowledged by all _Israel_, before providence put him in the utica ny dating actual
utica ny dating possession of all utica ny dating that extensive power. There is another known example,
applicable to the present purpose, in the instance of _David_, during
the rebellion of his unnatural son _Absalom_. According to the sacred
story, 2 Sam. chap, xv, xvi, xvii, xviii, xix, it appears, that he was
wholly ejected, both out of the utica ny dating hearts and territories of _Israel_, and
not only the throne, but the will and consent of the people given up to
_Absalom_. But utica ny dating was _David_ therefore divested of his right and title?
Though it is most contrary to scripture to utica ny dating suppose it; yet, according to
_Seceders_, seeing
