The<00:02:41.300><c> few</c><00:02:41.539><c> Turks</c><00:02:41.819><c> they</c><00:02:42.120><c> met</c><00:02:42.219><c> were</c><00:02:42.460><c> overpowered</c><00:02:42.919><c> without</c><00:02:43.219><c> a</c><00:02:43.479><c> sound.</c>

00:02:44.020 --> 00:02:46.659
The<00:02:44.360><c> cliffs</c><00:02:44.659><c> were</c><00:02:45.000><c> scaled</c><00:02:45.259><c> and</c><00:02:45.539><c> shortly</c><00:02:45.759><c> before</c><00:02:46.180><c> daybreak,</c>

00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.919
the<00:02:46.919><c> company</c><00:02:47.199><c> had</c><00:02:47.500><c> taken</c><00:02:47.719><c> up</c><00:02:47.960><c> a</c><00:02:48.219><c> position</c><00:02:48.439><c> on</c><00:02:48.740><c> the</c><00:02:49.400><c> half</c><00:02:49.699><c> acre</c>

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:50.979
of<00:02:50.159><c> land.</c>

00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.020
The<00:02:51.439><c> Turks</c><00:02:51.680><c> woke</c><00:02:51.979><c> up</c><00:02:52.439><c> and</c><00:02:52.919><c> believing</c><00:02:53.360><c> that</c><00:02:53.599><c> they</c><00:02:53.759><c> were</c>

00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:54.939
entirely<00:02:54.460><c> surrounded</c>

00:02:54.939 --> 00:02:58.460
by<00:02:55.199><c> the</c><00:02:55.460><c> whole</c><00:02:55.699><c> of</c><00:02:56.039><c> Allenby's</c><00:02:56.560><c> army,</c><00:02:57.500><c> scattered</c><00:02:57.740><c> in</c><00:02:58.039><c> disorder.</c>

00:02:58.819 --> 00:03:02.780
All<00:02:59.039><c> were</c><00:02:59.259><c> killed</c><00:02:59.479><c> or</c><00:02:59.719><c> taken</c><00:02:59.900><c> prisoner</c><00:03:00.400><c> and</c><00:03:00.800><c> then</c><00:03:01.099><c> Allenby</c><00:03:01.639><c> went</c><00:03:01.939><c> straight</c><00:03:02.379><c> on</c>

00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:04.400
to<00:03:03.060><c> take</c><00:03:03.259><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:06.319
After<00:03:05.039><c> nearly</c><00:03:05.439><c> 3</c><00:03:05.719><c>,000</c><00:03:06.039><c> years,</c>

00:03:06.539 --> 00:03:09.659
British<00:03:06.719><c> soldiers</c><00:03:07.159><c> had</c><00:03:07.479><c> followed</c><00:03:07.699><c> in</c><00:03:07.919><c> the</c><00:03:08.139><c> footsteps</c><00:03:08.539><c> of</c><00:03:08.919><c> Jonathan</c><00:03:09.300><c> and</c>

00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:10.900
his<00:03:09.840><c> armor</c><00:03:10.120><c> bearer.</c>

00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:16.020
And<00:03:11.479><c> notice</c><00:03:11.780><c> the</c><00:03:12.039><c> statement,</c><00:03:13.060><c> the</c><00:03:13.080><c> Bible</c><00:03:13.500><c> report</c><00:03:14.120><c> was</c><00:03:14.960><c> right.</c>

00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.439
I<00:03:16.960><c> don't</c><00:03:17.120><c> know</c><00:03:17.259><c> if</c><00:03:17.520><c> you've</c><00:03:17.800><c> heard</c><00:03:17.960><c> that</c><00:03:18.180><c> before.</c>

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:21.000
I<00:03:19.080><c> just</c><00:03:19.259><c> found</c><00:03:19.400><c> that</c><00:03:19.599><c> so</c><00:03:19.919><c> fascinating.</c>

00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:22.120
Anyway,<00:03:21.360><c> there</c><00:03:21.580><c> we</c><00:03:21.860><c> go.</c>

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.620
It's<00:03:22.599><c> 1</c><00:03:22.759><c> Samuel</c><00:03:23.080><c> 15</c><00:03:23.580><c> this</c><00:03:23.840><c> morning,</c><00:03:24.080><c> my</c><00:03:24.199><c> dear</c><00:03:24.360><c> brethren</c><00:03:24.620><c> and</c><00:03:24.900><c> sisters.</c>

00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:28.860
So<00:03:25.939><c> far,</c><00:03:26.819><c> obedience</c><00:03:26.979><c> has</c><00:03:27.240><c> been</c><00:03:27.419><c> the</c><00:03:27.699><c> stone</c><00:03:27.960><c> on</c><00:03:28.300><c> which</c><00:03:28.580><c> Saul</c>

00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:29.539
has<00:03:29.199><c> stumbled.</c>

00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:33.740
In<00:03:30.039><c> this</c><00:03:30.379><c> chapter,</c><00:03:30.879><c> it</c><00:03:31.060><c> will</c><00:03:31.259><c> be</c><00:03:31.439><c> the</c><00:03:31.680><c> rock</c><00:03:32.039><c> that</c><00:03:32.460><c> crushes</c><00:03:32.840><c> him.</c>

00:03:34.580 --> 00:03:37.639
I<00:03:34.680><c> mean,</c><00:03:34.819><c> the</c><00:03:35.020><c> chapter</c><00:03:35.259><c> itself</c><00:03:35.740><c> begins</c><00:03:36.300><c> ominously</c><00:03:37.000><c> enough.</c>

00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:39.960
Anoint<00:03:38.300><c> says</c><00:03:38.599><c> here</c><00:03:38.840><c> that</c><00:03:39.020><c> Samuel</c><00:03:39.360><c> says</c><00:03:39.620><c> to</c><00:03:39.819><c> Saul,</c>

00:03:40.099 --> 00:03:43.000
the<00:03:40.099><c> Lord</c><00:03:40.419><c> sent</c><00:03:40.800><c> me</c><00:03:41.099><c> to</c><00:03:41.439><c> anoint</c><00:03:41.960><c> thee</c><00:03:42.379><c> to</c><00:03:42.580><c> be</c><00:03:42.759><c> king.</c>

00:03:43.219 --> 00:03:48.259
In<00:03:43.419><c> the</c><00:03:43.740><c> original,</c><00:03:44.719><c> it</c><00:03:44.900><c> says,</c><00:03:46.219><c> me</c><00:03:46.240><c> did</c><00:03:46.919><c> the</c><00:03:47.400><c> Lord</c><00:03:47.800><c> send.</c>

00:03:48.460 --> 00:03:50.099
Really<00:03:48.860><c> quite</c><00:03:49.199><c> emphatic.</c>

00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:53.659
As<00:03:50.740><c> if</c><00:03:50.879><c> to</c><00:03:51.159><c> say,</c><00:03:51.699><c> when</c><00:03:51.860><c> I</c><00:03:52.099><c> came</c><00:03:52.300><c> to</c><00:03:52.439><c> you</c><00:03:52.580><c> the</c><00:03:52.819><c> first</c><00:03:53.199><c> time,</c><00:03:53.500><c> that</c>

00:03:53.659 --> 00:03:55.960
was<00:03:53.879><c> a</c><00:03:54.139><c> pretty</c><00:03:54.439><c> awesome</c><00:03:54.900><c> day.</c>

00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:02.780
Am<00:03:57.300><c> I</c><00:03:57.560><c> sure</c><00:03:57.800><c> that</c><00:03:58.000><c> if</c><00:03:58.159><c> I</c><00:03:58.360><c> come</c><00:03:58.560><c> to</c><00:03:58.719><c> you</c><00:03:58.979><c> again,</c><00:03:59.419><c> it</c><00:03:59.659><c> won't</c><00:03:59.860><c> be</c><00:04:00.120><c> just</c><00:04:00.460><c> as</c><00:04:01.659><c> awesome?</c>

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.419
But<00:04:03.520><c> in</c><00:04:03.680><c> a</c><00:04:03.719><c> very</c><00:04:04.020><c> different</c><00:04:04.400><c> manner.</c>

00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:07.620
And<00:04:06.219><c> then</c><00:04:06.539><c> notice</c><00:04:06.719><c> what</c><00:04:06.879><c> he</c><00:04:06.979><c> then</c><00:04:07.280><c> says.</c>

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.919
Now,<00:04:08.860><c> therefore,</c><00:04:09.400><c> hearken</c><00:04:09.680><c> thou</c><00:04:10.259><c> unto</c><00:04:10.620><c> the</c><00:04:10.879><c> voice</c><00:04:11.159><c> of</c><00:04:11.400><c> the</c><00:04:11.539><c> words</c><00:04:11.740><c> of</c>

00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:12.159
the<00:04:12.039><c> Lord.</c>

00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.519
So<00:04:12.479><c> obedience,</c><00:04:13.379><c> please</c><00:04:13.520><c> note</c><00:04:13.759><c> this,</c><00:04:14.280><c> obedience</c><00:04:14.840><c> is</c><00:04:15.159><c> the</c><00:04:15.379><c> issue</c><00:04:15.740><c> before</c><00:04:16.160><c> Saul</c>

00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.379
from<00:04:16.959><c> the</c><00:04:17.120><c> very</c><00:04:17.439><c> start</c><00:04:17.620><c> of</c><00:04:17.839><c> this</c><00:04:18.019><c> chapter.</c>

00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.220
And<00:04:18.980><c> the</c><00:04:19.399><c> instructions</c><00:04:19.899><c> are</c><00:04:20.399><c> explicit.</c>

00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:24.660
Go,<00:04:22.000><c> verse</c><00:04:22.300><c> 3,</c><00:04:22.680><c> and</c><00:04:22.800><c> smite</c><00:04:23.100><c> Amalek,</c><00:04:23.660><c> utterly</c><00:04:23.980><c> destroy</c><00:04:24.360><c> all</c>

00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.600
Slay<00:04:26.639><c> both</c><00:04:26.959><c> man</c><00:04:27.339><c> and</c><00:04:27.600><c> woman,</c><00:04:28.360><c> infant,</c><00:04:29.019><c> suckling,</c><00:04:29.800><c> ox,</c><00:04:30.360><c> sheep,</c>

camel,<00:04:31.620><c> ass.</c>

00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.959
What<00:04:34.519><c> is</c><00:04:34.759><c> this</c><00:04:35.019><c> thing</c><00:04:35.180><c> with</c><00:04:35.379><c> the</c><00:04:35.519><c> Amalekites,</c><00:04:36.199><c> we</c><00:04:36.459><c> might</c><00:04:36.699><c> just</c>

want<00:04:37.180><c> to</c><00:04:37.639><c> question.</c>

00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:39.540
Well,<00:04:38.100><c> of</c><00:04:38.220><c> course,</c><00:04:38.379><c> the</c><00:04:38.439><c> Amalekites</c><00:04:38.860><c> are</c><00:04:39.019><c> descended</c><00:04:39.259><c> from</c>

Esau's<00:04:40.139><c> grandson</c><00:04:40.560><c> Amalek.</c>

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.279
They<00:04:42.920><c> were</c><00:04:43.139><c> nomadic.</c>

00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:48.899
Another<00:04:46.339><c> minimalist</c><00:04:46.819><c> map</c><00:04:47.100><c> for</c><00:04:47.339><c> you.</c>

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.220
You<00:04:50.120><c> can</c><00:04:50.300><c> see</c><00:04:50.399><c> I</c><00:04:50.480><c> couldn't</c><00:04:50.740><c> spell</c><00:04:50.980><c> the</c><00:04:51.399><c> Amalekites</c><00:04:51.939><c> first</c>

00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.319
Bit<00:04:55.360><c> of</c><00:04:55.839><c> a</c><00:04:55.980><c> carelessness</c><00:04:56.360><c> on</c><00:04:56.560><c> my</c><00:04:56.839><c> part</c><00:04:57.019><c> there.</c>

00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.959
That's<00:04:58.079><c> roughly</c><00:04:58.279><c> where</c><00:04:58.500><c> they</c><00:04:58.959><c> lived</c><00:04:59.240><c> on</c><00:04:59.420><c> the</c><00:04:59.579><c> map</c><00:04:59.699><c> there,</c><00:04:59.839><c> as</c>

You<00:05:07.560><c> will</c><00:05:07.839><c> remember</c><00:05:08.220><c> the</c><00:05:08.560><c> scene.</c>

00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.199
It<00:05:09.040><c> is</c><00:05:10.160><c> Rephidim.</c>

00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.600
That's<00:05:12.480><c> the</c><00:05:12.740><c> actual</c><00:05:13.120><c> account</c><00:05:13.600><c> of</c><00:05:14.199><c> what</c><00:05:14.980><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:05:16.120><c> 25</c>

00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:17.279
talks<00:05:16.959><c> about,</c>

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:18.439
is<00:05:17.480><c> in</c><00:05:17.660><c> Exodus</c><00:05:17.939><c> 17.</c>

00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.620
You<00:05:18.600><c> can</c><00:05:18.839><c> chase</c><00:05:19.079><c> that</c><00:05:19.240><c> up</c><00:05:19.399><c> for</c><00:05:19.600><c> yourselves.</c>

00:05:21.259 --> 00:05:24.839
But<00:05:21.399><c> it</c><00:05:21.500><c> was</c><00:05:21.779><c> a</c><00:05:22.759><c> despicable</c><00:05:23.439><c> thing</c><00:05:23.720><c> that</c><00:05:23.920><c> the</c><00:05:24.040><c> Amalekites</c><00:05:24.620><c> did.</c>

00:05:24.899 --> 00:05:27.939
They<00:05:25.100><c> waited</c><00:05:25.399><c> for</c><00:05:25.699><c> the</c><00:05:25.860><c> whole</c><00:05:26.139><c> of</c><00:05:26.699><c> the</c><00:05:26.879><c> Israelites</c><00:05:27.120><c> to</c><00:05:27.379><c> pass</c><00:05:27.680><c> by.</c>

00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.540
Then<00:05:28.279><c> they</c><00:05:28.579><c> attacked</c><00:05:28.819><c> from</c><00:05:29.139><c> behind,</c><00:05:29.660><c> where</c><00:05:29.819><c> all</c><00:05:30.000><c> the</c><00:05:30.240><c> stragglers</c><00:05:30.639><c> were.</c>

00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:33.180
The<00:05:32.139><c> weak</c><00:05:32.579><c> ones</c><00:05:32.899><c> are</c><00:05:33.019><c> monks.</c>

00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:35.980
That<00:05:33.339><c> was</c><00:05:33.560><c> an</c><00:05:33.860><c> appalling</c><00:05:34.339><c> thing</c><00:05:34.579><c> to</c><00:05:34.819><c> do.</c>

00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:39.000
As<00:05:37.300><c> I</c><00:05:37.759><c> say,</c><00:05:38.000><c> that's</c><00:05:38.240><c> Exodus</c><00:05:38.360><c> 17.</c>

00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.459
But<00:05:39.600><c> it's</c><00:05:39.899><c> the</c><00:05:40.079><c> summary</c><00:05:40.420><c> here,</c><00:05:40.819><c> which</c><00:05:40.899><c> will</c><00:05:41.019><c> just</c><00:05:41.220><c> do</c><00:05:41.360><c> us</c><00:05:41.540><c> fine,</c><00:05:41.839><c> I</c><00:05:41.879><c> think.</c>

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:46.540
Deuteronomy<00:05:42.980><c> 25,</c><00:05:44.100><c> and</c><00:05:44.279><c> I'm</c><00:05:44.420><c> looking</c><00:05:44.779><c> at</c><00:05:45.100><c> verse</c><00:05:45.300><c> 17.</c>

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.220
Remember<00:05:47.079><c> what</c><00:05:47.439><c> Amalek</c><00:05:47.920><c> did</c><00:05:48.100><c> unto</c><00:05:48.360><c> thee</c><00:05:48.600><c> by</c><00:05:48.839><c> the</c><00:05:49.040><c> way,</c>

00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:50.740
when<00:05:49.399><c> you</c><00:05:49.579><c> were</c><00:05:49.699><c> come</c><00:05:49.980><c> forth</c><00:05:50.199><c> out</c><00:05:50.379><c> of</c><00:05:50.540><c> Egypt,</c>

00:05:50.779 --> 00:05:54.740
how<00:05:50.959><c> he</c><00:05:51.139><c> met</c><00:05:51.360><c> thee</c><00:05:51.600><c> by</c><00:05:51.819><c> the</c><00:05:52.000><c> way,</c><00:05:52.560><c> and</c><00:05:52.920><c> smote</c><00:05:53.360><c> the</c><00:05:53.759><c> hindmost</c><00:05:54.439><c> of</c><00:05:54.639><c> thee,</c>

00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.660
even<00:05:55.040><c> all</c><00:05:55.199><c> that</c><00:05:55.300><c> were</c><00:05:55.519><c> feeble</c><00:05:55.819><c> behind</c><00:05:56.319><c> thee,</c>

00:05:56.860 --> 00:06:00.980
when<00:05:57.100><c> thou</c><00:05:57.279><c> wast</c><00:05:57.579><c> faint</c><00:05:57.839><c> and</c><00:05:58.139><c> weary,</c><00:05:58.620><c> and</c><00:05:58.920><c> he</c><00:05:59.420><c> feared</c><00:05:59.680><c> not</c><00:06:00.079><c> God.</c>

00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.879
That's<00:06:02.360><c> a</c><00:06:02.560><c> single</c><00:06:02.959><c> verse</c><00:06:03.220><c> summary</c><00:06:03.660><c> of</c><00:06:04.379><c> Exodus</c><00:06:04.699><c> 17</c><00:06:05.220><c> verses</c><00:06:05.579><c> 8</c>

00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:06.579
to<00:06:06.040><c> 13.</c>

00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:11.060
You<00:06:06.860><c> remember</c><00:06:07.180><c> the</c><00:06:07.339><c> situation</c><00:06:07.899><c> where</c><00:06:09.699><c> Moses</c><00:06:10.439><c> had</c><00:06:10.680><c> to</c><00:06:10.899><c> have</c>

00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:11.720
some<00:06:11.360><c> help</c>

00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:16.800
keeping<00:06:12.300><c> his</c><00:06:13.120><c> arms</c><00:06:13.480><c> in</c><00:06:13.759><c> the</c><00:06:13.939><c> air</c><00:06:14.139><c> for</c><00:06:14.339><c> the</c><00:06:14.540><c> battle</c><00:06:15.220><c> to</c><00:06:15.660><c> be</c><00:06:15.959><c> fought.</c>

00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.579
So<00:06:20.060><c> because</c><00:06:20.759><c> of</c><00:06:21.019><c> that,</c><00:06:21.699><c> they</c><00:06:21.800><c> were</c><00:06:22.160><c> doomed</c><00:06:22.660><c> to</c><00:06:23.000><c> destruction.</c>

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:25.199
And<00:06:23.899><c> the</c><00:06:23.959><c> next</c><00:06:24.240><c> verse</c><00:06:24.439><c> makes</c><00:06:24.740><c> it</c><00:06:25.040><c> plain.</c>

00:06:25.300 --> 00:06:27.439
Therefore<00:06:25.620><c> it</c><00:06:25.920><c> shall</c><00:06:26.060><c> be,</c><00:06:26.379><c> when</c><00:06:26.540><c> the</c><00:06:26.720><c> Lord</c><00:06:26.939><c> thy</c><00:06:27.199><c> God</c>

00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.839
hath<00:06:27.660><c> given</c><00:06:27.839><c> thee</c><00:06:28.120><c> rest</c><00:06:28.319><c> from</c><00:06:28.579><c> all</c><00:06:28.759><c> thine</c><00:06:28.920><c> enemies</c><00:06:29.180><c> round</c><00:06:29.519><c> about,</c>

00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.259
in<00:06:30.300><c> the</c><00:06:30.519><c> land</c><00:06:30.699><c> which</c><00:06:30.899><c> the</c><00:06:31.079><c> Lord</c><00:06:31.240><c> thy</c><00:06:31.480><c> God</c><00:06:31.759><c> giveth</c><00:06:32.120><c> thee</c>

00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:34.180
for<00:06:32.500><c> inheritance</c><00:06:32.959><c> to</c><00:06:33.259><c> possess</c><00:06:33.620><c> it,</c>

00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.279
thou<00:06:34.620><c> shalt</c><00:06:35.040><c> blot</c><00:06:35.439><c> out</c><00:06:35.720><c> the</c><00:06:36.100><c> remembrance</c><00:06:36.519><c> of</c><00:06:36.939><c> Amalek</c>

00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:41.019
from<00:06:37.519><c> under</c><00:06:37.879><c> heaven,</c><00:06:38.680><c> thou</c><00:06:38.939><c> shalt</c><00:06:39.480><c> not</c><00:06:39.920><c> forget.</c>

00:06:41.779 --> 00:06:44.899
All<00:06:41.980><c> right,</c><00:06:42.220><c> this</c><00:06:42.379><c> is</c><00:06:43.639><c> grim</c><00:06:43.959><c> news,</c><00:06:44.480><c> isn't</c><00:06:44.639><c> it?</c>

00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:47.459
Even<00:06:45.399><c> Balaam,</c><00:06:46.040><c> you</c><00:06:46.180><c> may</c><00:06:46.399><c> remember,</c>

00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.680
when<00:06:47.740><c> he</c><00:06:48.000><c> talks</c><00:06:48.240><c> about</c><00:06:48.540><c> this</c><00:06:48.740><c> in</c><00:06:48.980><c> Numbers</c><00:06:49.220><c> 24,</c>

00:06:49.779 --> 00:06:51.920
hasn't<00:06:49.959><c> got</c><00:06:50.100><c> a</c><00:06:50.160><c> very</c><00:06:50.379><c> good</c><00:06:50.600><c> word</c><00:06:50.720><c> to</c><00:06:50.939><c> say</c><00:06:51.060><c> about</c><00:06:51.300><c> Amalek.</c>

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.439
In<00:06:52.300><c> fact,</c><00:06:52.540><c> tells</c><00:06:52.800><c> them</c><00:06:53.000><c> very</c><00:06:53.300><c> simply,</c><00:06:53.779><c> their</c><00:06:53.939><c> end</c><00:06:54.040><c> will</c><00:06:54.259><c> be</c><00:06:54.459><c> destruction.</c>

00:06:57.300 --> 00:07:01.459
And<00:06:57.779><c> so,</c><00:06:58.939><c> well</c><00:06:59.139><c> and</c><00:06:59.399><c> so,</c><00:07:00.339><c> time</c><00:07:00.519><c> is</c><00:07:00.720><c> up.</c>

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.980
And<00:07:02.220><c> this</c><00:07:02.379><c> chapter</c><00:07:02.680><c> 15</c><00:07:03.120><c> here,</c><00:07:03.579><c> back</c><00:07:03.720><c> in</c><00:07:03.899><c> 1</c><00:07:04.160><c> Samuel,</c>

is<00:07:06.220><c> where</c><00:07:06.420><c> it's</c><00:07:06.620><c> all</c><00:07:06.860><c> going</c><00:07:07.040><c> to</c><00:07:07.319><c> take</c><00:07:07.560><c> place.</c>

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.839
The<00:07:09.879><c> request</c><00:07:10.279><c> here</c><00:07:10.600><c> by</c><00:07:10.860><c> God</c><00:07:11.160><c> is</c><00:07:11.500><c> for</c><00:07:11.699><c> wholesale</c><00:07:12.240><c> slaughter.</c>

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:14.759
And<00:07:13.439><c> there</c><00:07:13.560><c> are,</c><00:07:13.899><c> of</c><00:07:13.899><c> course,</c><00:07:14.079><c> those</c><00:07:14.319><c> around</c>

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.319

00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.259
well,<00:07:17.540><c> this</c><00:07:17.800><c> is</c><00:07:18.019><c> the</c><00:07:18.180><c> God</c><00:07:18.300><c> of</c><00:07:18.500><c> the</c><00:07:18.639><c> Old</c><00:07:18.879><c> Testament.</c>

00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:22.259
You<00:07:19.500><c> really</c><00:07:19.720><c> don't</c><00:07:19.899><c> expect</c><00:07:20.259><c> me</c><00:07:20.500><c> to</c><00:07:20.720><c> take</c><00:07:20.899><c> this</c><00:07:21.120><c> on</c><00:07:21.360><c> board.</c>

00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:26.939
You<00:07:22.920><c> know</c><00:07:23.040><c> how</c><00:07:23.180><c> we're</c><00:07:23.399><c> going</c><00:07:23.500><c> to</c><00:07:23.699><c> explain</c><00:07:24.319><c> what</c><00:07:25.000><c> is</c><00:07:26.040><c> an</c><00:07:26.220><c> offer</c><00:07:26.439><c> here.</c>

00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.160
I<00:07:27.279><c> think</c><00:07:27.459><c> we</c><00:07:28.160><c> just</c><00:07:28.420><c> need</c><00:07:28.500><c> to</c><00:07:28.600><c> be</c><00:07:28.699><c> aware</c><00:07:28.860><c> of</c><00:07:29.040><c> this.</c>

00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.720
You<00:07:29.439><c> know</c><00:07:29.540><c> what</c><00:07:29.560><c> it</c><00:07:29.699><c> says,</c><00:07:30.019><c> utterly</c><00:07:30.259><c> destroy.</c>

00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.699
The<00:07:31.639><c> Hebrew</c><00:07:32.000><c> word</c><00:07:32.279><c> is</c><00:07:32.600><c> devote.</c>

00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.759
And<00:07:34.660><c> that</c><00:07:34.899><c> means</c><00:07:35.079><c> it</c><00:07:35.240><c> belongs</c><00:07:35.519><c> to</c><00:07:35.779><c> God.</c>

00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:38.680
And<00:07:37.439><c> that</c><00:07:37.579><c> was</c><00:07:37.759><c> the</c><00:07:37.879><c> issue,</c><00:07:38.100><c> wasn't</c><00:07:38.319><c> it?</c>

00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.620
The<00:07:39.319><c> moment</c><00:07:39.680><c> the</c><00:07:40.439><c> Amalekites</c><00:07:40.980><c> placed</c><00:07:41.339><c> just</c><00:07:41.800><c> their</c><00:07:42.060><c> finger</c>

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:47.040
on<00:07:43.139><c> the</c><00:07:43.360><c> hindmost</c><00:07:43.959><c> part</c><00:07:44.279><c> of</c><00:07:44.459><c> the</c><00:07:44.600><c> people</c><00:07:44.759><c> coming</c><00:07:45.040><c> out</c><00:07:45.279><c> of</c><00:07:45.459><c> Egypt,</c>

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.860
they<00:07:47.399><c> were</c><00:07:47.699><c> placing,</c><00:07:48.040><c> if</c><00:07:48.220><c> you</c><00:07:48.360><c> like,</c><00:07:48.620><c> their</c><00:07:48.800><c> finger</c><00:07:49.120><c> on</c><00:07:49.399><c> God</c><00:07:49.639><c> himself.</c>

00:07:51.220 --> 00:07:54.420
It<00:07:51.819><c> wasn't</c><00:07:52.199><c> an</c><00:07:52.199><c> attack</c><00:07:52.459><c> on</c><00:07:52.639><c> those</c><00:07:53.000><c> feeble</c><00:07:53.399><c> and</c><00:07:53.720><c> the</c><00:07:54.040><c> weak,</c><00:07:54.259><c> it</c>

00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:54.920
is<00:07:54.639><c> true.</c>

00:07:55.060 --> 00:07:59.279
But<00:07:55.220><c> in</c><00:07:55.480><c> attacking</c><00:07:55.879><c> God's</c><00:07:56.459><c> inheritance,</c><00:07:57.160><c> they</c><00:07:57.319><c> were</c><00:07:57.540><c> attacking</c><00:07:57.879><c> him.</c>

00:08:00.220 --> 00:08:03.079
And<00:08:00.819><c> time</c><00:08:01.420><c> was</c><00:08:01.660><c> up</c><00:08:02.139><c> for</c><00:08:02.480><c> these</c><00:08:02.759><c> people.</c>

00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:07.800
They<00:08:03.300><c> had</c><00:08:03.519><c> no</c><00:08:03.819><c> regard</c><00:08:04.120><c> whatsoever</c><00:08:04.639><c> for</c><00:08:05.519><c> the</c><00:08:05.740><c> God</c><00:08:06.300><c> of</c><00:08:06.620><c> Israel.</c>

00:08:08.660 --> 00:08:12.420
So<00:08:08.860><c> the</c><00:08:09.240><c> spoil</c><00:08:09.500><c> here</c><00:08:10.000><c> was</c><00:08:10.399><c> never</c><00:08:10.720><c> going</c><00:08:10.920><c> to</c><00:08:11.060><c> be</c><00:08:11.160><c> the</c><00:08:11.420><c> people's,</c>

00:08:12.420 --> 00:08:13.939
it<00:08:12.620><c> was</c><00:08:12.939><c> God's.</c>

00:08:14.259 --> 00:08:17.439
We<00:08:14.560><c> come</c><00:08:14.800><c> face</c><00:08:15.100><c> to</c><00:08:15.259><c> face</c><00:08:15.500><c> here</c><00:08:15.699><c> with</c><00:08:15.879><c> God's</c><00:08:16.360><c> judgment</c><00:08:16.639><c> on</c><00:08:16.980><c> nations</c>

00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.379
and<00:08:17.759><c> societies</c><00:08:18.220><c> that</c><00:08:18.920><c> are</c><00:08:19.439><c> morally</c><00:08:20.100><c> irredeemable.</c>

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.579
And<00:08:22.060><c> we</c><00:08:22.180><c> have</c><00:08:22.379><c> to</c><00:08:22.579><c> accept</c><00:08:23.139><c> that.</c>

00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.199
This<00:08:24.220><c> is</c><00:08:24.379><c> not</c><00:08:24.579><c> a</c><00:08:24.740><c> vindictive</c><00:08:25.399><c> God.</c>

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:30.259
This<00:08:27.000><c> is</c><00:08:27.199><c> a</c><00:08:27.339><c> God</c><00:08:27.480><c> who's</c><00:08:27.800><c> allowed</c><00:08:28.060><c> the</c><00:08:28.279><c> Amalekites</c><00:08:29.000><c> quite</c><00:08:29.579><c> some</c><00:08:29.980><c> time.</c>

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.179
Please<00:08:30.579><c> note,</c><00:08:31.240><c> he</c><00:08:31.379><c> did</c><00:08:31.579><c> that</c><00:08:31.819><c> with</c><00:08:32.039><c> others.</c>

00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:32.639
He<00:08:32.279><c> did</c><00:08:32.419><c> it.</c>

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.700
In<00:08:32.860><c> fact,</c><00:08:33.000><c> I</c><00:08:33.120><c> seem</c><00:08:33.220><c> to</c><00:08:33.340><c> remember</c><00:08:33.500><c> I</c><00:08:33.600><c> was</c><00:08:33.779><c> part</c><00:08:33.940><c> of</c><00:08:34.080><c> a</c><00:08:34.240><c> conversation</c>

00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:37.120
sometime<00:08:35.100><c> this</c><00:08:35.399><c> week</c><00:08:35.580><c> when</c><00:08:35.759><c> we</c><00:08:35.940><c> made</c><00:08:36.159><c> exactly</c><00:08:36.440><c> the</c><00:08:36.620><c> same</c><00:08:36.919><c> comment</c>

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.600
about<00:08:37.340><c> the</c><00:08:37.559><c> Amorites.</c>

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.179
You<00:08:39.059><c> know,</c><00:08:39.600><c> they</c><00:08:39.860><c> were</c><00:08:40.080><c> due</c><00:08:40.200><c> for</c><00:08:40.399><c> destruction</c><00:08:40.919><c> too,</c>

00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:43.139
but<00:08:41.320><c> it</c><00:08:41.379><c> took</c><00:08:41.480><c> a</c><00:08:41.600><c> long</c><00:08:41.779><c> time</c><00:08:41.919><c> for</c><00:08:42.059><c> it</c><00:08:42.159><c> to</c><00:08:42.340><c> happen.</c>

00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:45.059
God<00:08:43.600><c> is</c><00:08:43.960><c> a</c><00:08:44.159><c> patient</c><00:08:44.559><c> God.</c>

00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:47.659
And<00:08:45.620><c> apparently</c><00:08:46.059><c> the</c><00:08:46.279><c> Amalekites</c><00:08:46.700><c> have</c><00:08:46.879><c> now</c><00:08:47.019><c> reached</c><00:08:47.240><c> that</c><00:08:47.519><c> point</c>

00:08:47.659 --> 00:08:50.600
where<00:08:47.879><c> they</c><00:08:48.039><c> are</c><00:08:48.539><c> deemed</c><00:08:48.740><c> to</c><00:08:49.000><c> be</c><00:08:49.559><c> irredeemable.</c>

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.139
So<00:08:53.360><c> the</c><00:08:53.559><c> attack</c><00:08:53.759><c> is</c><00:08:53.980><c> made</c><00:08:54.179><c> in</c><00:08:54.360><c> verses</c><00:08:54.620><c> 7</c><00:08:54.919><c> and</c><00:08:54.960><c> 8,</c>

00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.480
and<00:08:55.279><c> we</c><00:08:55.519><c> now</c><00:08:55.740><c> are</c><00:08:55.940><c> in</c><00:08:56.080><c> 1</c><00:08:56.279><c> Samuel</c><00:08:56.559><c> 15.</c>

00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:04.000
I<00:08:59.080><c> should</c><00:08:59.240><c> have</c><00:09:01.320><c> said</c><00:09:01.519><c> beforehand</c><00:09:02.000><c> that</c><00:09:03.320><c> Saul</c><00:09:03.519><c> has</c><00:09:03.740><c> collected</c>

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:04.460
his<00:09:04.299><c> troops</c>

00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:10.519
at<00:09:04.700><c> Talaim</c><00:09:05.220><c> down</c><00:09:05.779><c> here,</c><00:09:08.639><c> and</c><00:09:08.759><c> battle</c><00:09:09.100><c> is</c><00:09:09.580><c> joined.</c>

00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:14.019
Attack<00:09:11.100><c> is</c><00:09:11.340><c> made,</c><00:09:11.919><c> and</c><00:09:11.919><c> all</c><00:09:12.360><c> that</c><00:09:12.899><c> fell</c><00:09:13.139><c> into</c><00:09:13.399><c> the</c><00:09:13.620><c> hands</c>

00:09:14.019 --> 00:09:16.919
of<00:09:14.580><c> the</c><00:09:14.879><c> Israelites</c><00:09:15.320><c> were</c><00:09:16.039><c> killed.</c>

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:25.200
Well,<00:09:19.919><c> verse</c><00:09:20.220><c> 18,</c><00:09:23.740><c> I'll</c><00:09:23.980><c> just</c><00:09:24.159><c> take</c><00:09:24.340><c> you</c><00:09:24.539><c> forward</c><00:09:24.679><c> a</c><00:09:24.840><c> bit</c><00:09:24.960><c> here.</c>

00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:27.440
The<00:09:25.360><c> Lord</c><00:09:25.659><c> sent</c><00:09:26.120><c> the</c><00:09:26.500><c> on</c><00:09:26.659><c> a</c><00:09:26.879><c> journey</c><00:09:27.100><c> and</c><00:09:27.299><c> said,</c>

00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:31.039
Go<00:09:27.879><c> and</c><00:09:28.320><c> utterly</c><00:09:28.620><c> destroy</c><00:09:29.179><c> the</c><00:09:29.559><c> sinners,</c><00:09:30.019><c> the</c><00:09:30.179><c> Amalekites,</c>

00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:36.840
and<00:09:31.639><c> fight</c><00:09:32.000><c> against</c><00:09:32.440><c> them</c><00:09:33.080><c> until</c><00:09:33.860><c> they</c><00:09:34.639><c> be</c><00:09:35.340><c> consumed.</c>

00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.779
When<00:09:38.100><c> you</c><00:09:38.379><c> and</c><00:09:38.519><c> I</c><00:09:38.659><c> read</c><00:09:38.840><c> about</c><00:09:39.080><c> the</c><00:09:39.240><c> Amalekites</c><00:09:39.779><c> later</c><00:09:40.100><c> on</c><00:09:40.240><c> in</c><00:09:40.500><c> scripture,</c>

00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:44.360
we<00:09:41.000><c> can</c><00:09:41.340><c> see</c><00:09:41.600><c> that</c><00:09:42.019><c> Saul</c><00:09:42.440><c> didn't</c><00:09:43.200><c> finish</c><00:09:43.679><c> the</c><00:09:44.059><c> job.</c>

00:09:44.700 --> 00:09:48.139
Oh,<00:09:44.980><c> sure,</c><00:09:45.519><c> we</c><00:09:45.720><c> are</c><00:09:45.960><c> given</c><00:09:46.139><c> some</c><00:09:46.440><c> pictures</c><00:09:46.840><c> there</c><00:09:47.139><c> in</c><00:09:47.320><c> verse</c><00:09:47.600><c> 7</c>

00:09:48.139 --> 00:09:51.759
of<00:09:48.500><c> the</c><00:09:48.740><c> kind</c><00:09:49.019><c> of</c><00:09:49.320><c> drive</c><00:09:49.580><c> out</c><00:09:49.919><c> to</c><00:09:50.360><c> Shur,</c><00:09:51.080><c> to</c><00:09:51.279><c> Havilah,</c>

00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.639
places<00:09:52.120><c> like</c><00:09:52.519><c> that</c><00:09:52.740><c> in</c><00:09:53.299><c> pursuing</c><00:09:53.759><c> the</c><00:09:53.980><c> Amalekites,</c>

00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:57.779
but<00:09:55.000><c> it's</c><00:09:55.259><c> quite</c><00:09:55.779><c> plain</c><00:09:56.159><c> from</c><00:09:56.620><c> that</c><00:09:56.940><c> 18th</c><00:09:57.639><c> verse</c>

00:09:57.779 --> 00:10:00.659
the<00:09:58.100><c> job</c><00:09:58.460><c> was</c><00:09:58.779><c> never</c><00:09:59.179><c> done</c><00:09:59.519><c> properly.</c>

00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:04.659
The<00:10:02.899><c> spiritual</c><00:10:03.419><c> lesson</c><00:10:03.720><c> is</c><00:10:04.019><c> here.</c>

00:10:04.659 --> 00:10:10.080

00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:52.500

Samuel<00:13:09.159><c> is</c><00:13:09.519><c> grieved,</c><00:13:09.940><c> the</c><00:13:10.019><c> revised</c><00:13:10.179><c> version</c><00:13:10.419><c> said</c><00:13:10.620><c> he</c><00:13:10.720><c> was</c><00:13:10.919><c> angry.</c>

00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.000
He<00:13:13.460><c> could</c><00:13:13.720><c> see</c><00:13:13.879><c> that</c><00:13:14.080><c> the</c><00:13:14.179><c> name</c><00:13:14.399><c> of</c><00:13:14.600><c> God</c><00:13:14.720><c> has</c><00:13:14.940><c> been</c><00:13:15.179><c> dishonored,</c>

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:29.600
We<00:13:26.200><c> will</c><00:13:26.440><c> remember</c><00:13:26.840><c> the</c><00:13:27.039><c> good</c><00:13:27.399><c> start</c><00:13:27.659><c> that</c><00:13:27.899><c> this</c><00:13:28.159><c> man</c><00:13:28.399><c> had.</c>

And<00:13:32.600><c> he</c><00:13:32.659><c> would</c><00:13:32.919><c> feel</c><00:13:33.220><c> angry</c><00:13:33.679><c> because</c><00:13:34.039><c> it</c><00:13:34.220><c> is</c><00:13:34.340><c> not</c><00:13:34.580><c> just</c><00:13:34.840><c> the</c>

00:13:54.899 --> 00:13:57.240
So<00:13:54.960><c> you've</c><00:13:55.179><c> got</c><00:13:55.240><c> to</c><00:13:55.360><c> imagine</c><00:13:55.720><c> early</c><00:13:56.000><c> the</c><00:13:56.179><c> next</c><00:13:56.480><c> day,</c>

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:14.080

00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:20.259

He's<00:14:22.200><c> on</c><00:14:22.279><c> his</c><00:14:22.440><c> way</c><00:14:22.539><c> to</c><00:14:22.759><c> Gilgal,</c><00:14:23.320><c> as</c><00:14:23.539><c> you'll</c><00:14:23.799><c> soon</c><00:14:23.960><c> see</c><00:14:24.240><c> in</c><00:14:24.399><c> a</c><00:14:24.600><c> second</c><00:14:24.960><c> or</c><00:14:25.639><c> two.</c>

00:14:28.820 --> 00:14:32.919
Oh,<00:14:29.299><c> that's</c><00:14:29.740><c> interesting</c><00:14:30.379><c> because</c><00:14:31.600><c> the</c><00:14:31.940><c> scripture</c><00:14:32.259><c> has</c><00:14:32.460><c> something</c><00:14:32.659><c> to</c>

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.740
Saul<00:14:36.820><c> came</c><00:14:37.179><c> to</c><00:14:37.480><c> Carmel,</c><00:14:37.960><c> middle</c><00:14:38.139><c> of</c><00:14:38.220><c> verse</c><00:14:38.399><c> 12,</c>

00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:42.539
and<00:14:39.220><c> behold,</c><00:14:40.019><c> he</c><00:14:40.200><c> set</c><00:14:40.440><c> him</c><00:14:40.679><c> up</c><00:14:41.080><c> a</c><00:14:41.480><c> place.</c>

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:45.600
The<00:14:43.419><c> revised</c><00:14:43.700><c> version</c><00:14:44.039><c> says</c><00:14:44.340><c> monument.</c>

00:14:46.580 --> 00:14:49.379
Now,<00:14:46.740><c> what</c><00:14:46.960><c> do</c><00:14:47.120><c> you</c><00:14:47.259><c> suppose</c><00:14:47.720><c> this</c><00:14:48.039><c> man</c><00:14:48.200><c> is</c><00:14:48.340><c> up</c><00:14:48.600><c> to?</c>

00:14:50.259 --> 00:14:51.259
Well,<00:14:50.480><c> you</c><00:14:50.600><c> can</c><00:14:50.840><c> guess.</c>

00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.419
This<00:14:51.960><c> was</c><00:14:52.179><c> obviously</c><00:14:52.580><c> a</c><00:14:52.940><c> big</c><00:14:53.139><c> victory</c><00:14:53.480><c> of</c><00:14:53.700><c> the</c><00:14:53.860><c> Amalekites,</c>

00:14:54.820 --> 00:14:56.759
and<00:14:55.039><c> Saul</c><00:14:55.299><c> is</c><00:14:55.639><c> recording</c><00:14:56.080><c> that</c><00:14:56.399><c> victory,</c>

00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:01.200
as<00:14:57.539><c> most</c><00:14:58.100><c> kings</c><00:14:58.500><c> and</c><00:14:58.820><c> leaders</c><00:14:59.100><c> used</c><00:14:59.460><c> to</c><00:14:59.700><c> do,</c><00:14:59.840><c> you</c><00:15:00.240><c> remember.</c>

00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.000
The<00:15:01.480><c> Sennacheribs</c><00:15:02.080><c> of</c><00:15:02.179><c> this</c><00:15:02.500><c> world</c><00:15:02.679><c> have</c><00:15:02.820><c> always</c><00:15:03.080><c> had</c><00:15:03.340><c> great,</c>

00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.000
in<00:15:07.580><c> life,</c><00:15:07.980><c> you</c><00:15:08.220><c> know.</c>

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:11.399
So<00:15:09.620><c> Saul</c><00:15:09.840><c> is</c><00:15:10.019><c> one</c><00:15:10.240><c> of</c><00:15:10.519><c> them.</c>

00:15:12.779 --> 00:15:17.179
Now,<00:15:13.779><c> so</c><00:15:14.000><c> that</c><00:15:14.139><c> you</c><00:15:14.240><c> can</c><00:15:14.519><c> see</c><00:15:15.039><c> Saul</c><00:15:15.419><c> in</c><00:15:15.720><c> the</c><00:15:15.960><c> true</c><00:15:16.200><c> light,</c>

00:15:17.460 --> 00:15:19.399
don't<00:15:18.059><c> turn</c><00:15:18.460><c> this</c><00:15:18.639><c> up</c><00:15:18.840><c> now.</c>

00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:21.899
But<00:15:19.759><c> if</c><00:15:19.840><c> I</c><00:15:20.039><c> did</c><00:15:20.220><c> take</c><00:15:20.500><c> you</c><00:15:20.779><c> back</c><00:15:20.960><c> to</c><00:15:21.120><c> where</c><00:15:21.320><c> we</c><00:15:21.620><c> started,</c>

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.720
which<00:15:22.159><c> was</c><00:15:22.379><c> really</c><00:15:22.759><c> Exodus</c><00:15:23.039><c> 17</c><00:15:23.620><c> when</c><00:15:23.879><c> the</c><00:15:24.059><c> Amalekites</c>

00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:29.059
first<00:15:25.080><c> appeared</c><00:15:25.399><c> on</c><00:15:25.679><c> the</c><00:15:25.860><c> scene</c><00:15:26.120><c> as</c><00:15:26.539><c> the</c><00:15:26.799><c> enemies</c><00:15:27.299><c> of</c><00:15:27.840><c> Israel,</c>

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.620
when<00:15:29.980><c> that</c><00:15:30.399><c> battle</c><00:15:30.740><c> was</c><00:15:31.139><c> won</c><00:15:31.379><c> at</c><00:15:31.720><c> Rafidim,</c>

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.940
Moses<00:15:36.200><c> erected</c><00:15:36.799><c> an</c><00:15:37.039><c> altar.</c>

00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:40.259
That's<00:15:39.059><c> the</c><00:15:39.200><c> difference.</c>

00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.059
The<00:15:41.700><c> battle</c><00:15:42.059><c> was</c><00:15:42.340><c> the</c><00:15:42.580><c> lords.</c>

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.899
The<00:15:43.700><c> victory</c><00:15:44.019><c> was</c><00:15:44.279><c> the</c><00:15:44.460><c> lords.</c>

00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:49.220
Here,<00:15:46.120><c> the</c><00:15:46.259><c> victory</c><00:15:46.740><c> was</c><00:15:47.460><c> Saul's,</c><00:15:48.340><c> according</c><00:15:48.620><c> to</c><00:15:48.919><c> Saul.</c>

00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:52.259
That's<00:15:49.860><c> why</c><00:15:50.080><c> he</c><00:15:50.100><c> had</c><00:15:50.240><c> the</c><00:15:50.500><c> monument</c><00:15:50.860><c> put</c><00:15:51.179><c> up.</c>

00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.720
So<00:15:53.659><c> we</c><00:15:53.960><c> go</c><00:15:54.139><c> to</c><00:15:54.320><c> Gilgal.</c>

00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:57.200
Well,<00:15:55.139><c> my</c><00:15:55.340><c> word,</c><00:15:55.620><c> what</c><00:15:55.740><c> a</c><00:15:55.899><c> dramatic</c><00:15:56.340><c> scene.</c>

00:15:58.539 --> 00:16:01.759
It<00:15:58.659><c> was</c><00:15:58.899><c> here</c><00:15:59.159><c> that</c><00:15:59.440><c> Saul's</c><00:15:59.940><c> kingship</c><00:16:00.340><c> was</c><00:16:00.659><c> confirmed.</c>

00:16:02.539 --> 00:16:05.919
In<00:16:02.679><c> a</c><00:16:02.860><c> moment</c><00:16:03.100><c> or</c><00:16:03.320><c> two,</c><00:16:04.200><c> this</c><00:16:04.340><c> is</c><00:16:04.539><c> where</c><00:16:04.679><c> his</c><00:16:05.000><c> kingship</c><00:16:05.399><c> is</c><00:16:05.600><c> going</c><00:16:05.740><c> to</c>

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:06.580
be<00:16:06.080><c> taken</c><00:16:06.279><c> away.</c>

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:09.519
It<00:16:06.740><c> was</c><00:16:06.940><c> here</c><00:16:07.139><c> that</c><00:16:07.320><c> the</c><00:16:07.600><c> consequences</c><00:16:08.360><c> of</c><00:16:08.759><c> disobedience</c>

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:10.600
had<00:16:09.799><c> been</c><00:16:10.139><c> uttered.</c>

00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.759
Do<00:16:10.679><c> you</c><00:16:10.759><c> remember</c><00:16:11.100><c> chapter</c><00:16:11.440><c> 12,</c><00:16:12.320><c> that</c><00:16:12.539><c> great</c><00:16:12.840><c> speech</c><00:16:13.159><c> by</c><00:16:13.480><c> Samuel?</c>

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.080
It's<00:16:14.320><c> all</c><00:16:14.700><c> coming</c><00:16:15.059><c> true.</c>

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.440
Every<00:16:16.580><c> word</c><00:16:16.879><c> is</c><00:16:17.100><c> coming</c><00:16:17.379><c> true</c><00:16:17.659><c> now.</c>

00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:21.340
And<00:16:18.960><c> Samuel</c><00:16:19.299><c> would</c><00:16:19.580><c> not</c><00:16:19.740><c> feel</c><00:16:19.940><c> happy</c><00:16:20.220><c> about</c><00:16:20.480><c> this.</c>

00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.940
He<00:16:21.620><c> will</c><00:16:21.840><c> not</c><00:16:21.980><c> go</c><00:16:22.159><c> around</c><00:16:22.299><c> and</c><00:16:22.440><c> say,</c><00:16:22.559><c> told</c><00:16:22.700><c> yourself.</c>

00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:24.840
Start<00:16:24.220><c> listening</c><00:16:24.480><c> to</c><00:16:24.720><c> me.</c>

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:26.159
You'll<00:16:25.059><c> get</c><00:16:25.220><c> somewhere.</c>

00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:27.860
None<00:16:27.100><c> of</c><00:16:27.220><c> that</c><00:16:27.340><c> from</c><00:16:27.539><c> Samuel.</c>

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:31.159
Samuel<00:16:28.379><c> is</c><00:16:28.740><c> a</c><00:16:28.960><c> grieving</c><00:16:29.259><c> man</c><00:16:29.580><c> now,</c><00:16:30.019><c> brethren</c><00:16:30.139><c> and</c><00:16:30.340><c> sisters.</c>

00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:32.899
This<00:16:31.720><c> is</c><00:16:31.940><c> not</c><00:16:32.120><c> what</c><00:16:32.259><c> he</c><00:16:32.500><c> wanted.</c>

00:16:33.299 --> 00:16:34.759
Not<00:16:33.519><c> for</c><00:16:33.759><c> a</c><00:16:33.960><c> second.</c>

00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:40.240
And<00:16:36.419><c> this</c><00:16:36.860><c> is</c><00:16:37.080><c> now</c><00:16:37.240><c> going</c><00:16:37.419><c> to</c><00:16:37.519><c> be</c><00:16:37.639><c> the</c><00:16:37.840><c> place</c><00:16:38.059><c> where</c><00:16:38.340><c> the</c><00:16:38.600><c> sentence</c><00:16:39.100><c> on</c><00:16:39.419><c> disobedience</c>

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:41.860
is<00:16:40.980><c> going</c><00:16:41.139><c> to</c><00:16:41.299><c> be</c><00:16:41.519><c> pronounced.</c>

00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:42.720
Gilgal.

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:47.080
What<00:16:43.259><c> a</c><00:16:43.500><c> dramatic</c><00:16:44.059><c> place</c><00:16:44.639><c> this</c><00:16:45.100><c> is</c><00:16:45.480><c> in</c><00:16:45.860><c> the</c><00:16:46.000><c> Old</c><00:16:46.200><c> Testament.</c>

00:16:52.139 --> 00:16:55.080
Well,<00:16:52.580><c> I</c><00:16:53.019><c> now</c><00:16:53.299><c> ask</c><00:16:53.539><c> you</c><00:16:53.659><c> to</c><00:16:53.779><c> have</c><00:16:53.940><c> a</c><00:16:53.940><c> look</c><00:16:54.120><c> at</c><00:16:54.360><c> Saul</c><00:16:54.519><c> once</c><00:16:54.899><c> more</c>

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:55.779
in<00:16:55.220><c> all</c><00:16:55.440><c> of</c><00:16:55.639><c> this.</c>

00:16:55.899 --> 00:16:57.360
Now<00:16:56.039><c> he's</c><00:16:56.299><c> caught</c><00:16:56.480><c> up</c><00:16:56.679><c> with</c><00:16:56.840><c> him.</c>

00:16:57.580 --> 00:17:00.080
Samuel<00:16:57.860><c> came</c><00:16:58.120><c> to</c><00:16:58.279><c> Saul,</c><00:16:58.519><c> verse</c><00:16:58.720><c> 13,</c><00:16:59.159><c> and</c><00:16:59.340><c> Saul</c><00:16:59.600><c> said</c><00:16:59.759><c> to</c><00:16:59.919><c> him,</c>

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.659
Bless<00:17:00.580><c> be</c><00:17:00.919><c> thou</c><00:17:01.139><c> of</c><00:17:01.360><c> the</c><00:17:01.519><c> Lord.</c>

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.839
I<00:17:01.919><c> perform</c><00:17:02.360><c> the</c><00:17:02.659><c> commandment</c><00:17:03.240><c> of</c><00:17:03.480><c> the</c><00:17:03.700><c> Lord.</c>

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:07.819
Oh,<00:17:07.319><c> boy.</c>

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:13.240
What<00:17:09.119><c> he</c><00:17:09.460><c> doesn't</c><00:17:09.940><c> know</c><00:17:10.359><c> is</c><00:17:10.980><c> that</c><00:17:11.339><c> Samuel</c><00:17:11.940><c> knows</c><00:17:12.839><c> that</c><00:17:13.079><c> it</c>

00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:14.420
isn't<00:17:13.480><c> true.</c>

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:23.220
And<00:17:18.440><c> surely</c><00:17:18.960><c> Saul</c><00:17:19.559><c> must</c><00:17:20.359><c> have</c><00:17:20.680><c> known</c><00:17:21.200><c> that</c><00:17:21.859><c> he</c><00:17:22.099><c> hadn't</c><00:17:22.759><c> fully</c>

00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.039
Oh,<00:17:29.299><c> that's</c><00:17:29.599><c> the</c><00:17:29.660><c> way</c><00:17:29.839><c> it</c><00:17:29.940><c> is,</c><00:17:30.180><c> is</c><00:17:30.180><c> it,</c><00:17:30.460><c> Saul?</c>

00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.680
Well,<00:17:33.759><c> with</c><00:17:33.980><c> great</c><00:17:34.240><c> respect,</c><00:17:34.900><c> Saul,</c><00:17:35.119><c> I</c><00:17:35.559><c> may</c><00:17:35.759><c> not</c><00:17:35.940><c> be</c><00:17:36.160><c> a</c><00:17:36.299><c> rustic</c>

like<00:17:37.019><c> you.</c>

00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:41.119

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:53.279
I<00:17:51.420><c> fancy</c><00:17:51.660><c> I</c><00:17:51.839><c> hear</c><00:17:52.380><c> oxen.</c>

00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.880
What<00:17:54.079><c> are</c><00:17:54.200><c> you</c><00:17:54.380><c> playing</c><00:17:54.660><c> at,</c><00:17:55.039><c> Saul?</c>

00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:58.559
What<00:17:56.759><c> have</c><00:17:57.220><c> you</c><00:17:57.539><c> done?</c>

00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:01.779
There<00:17:59.539><c> it</c><00:17:59.740><c> is.</c>

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.720
Oh,<00:18:03.299><c> now</c><00:18:03.299><c> look</c><00:18:03.900><c> at</c><00:18:04.140><c> Saul's</c><00:18:04.640><c> response.</c>

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:10.579
They<00:18:07.380><c> have</c><00:18:07.980><c> brought</c><00:18:08.299><c> them</c><00:18:08.500><c> from</c><00:18:08.720><c> the</c><00:18:08.880><c> Amalekites</c><00:18:09.500><c> for</c><00:18:10.059><c> the</c>

00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.240
Oh,<00:18:12.539><c> they</c><00:18:13.000><c> spared</c><00:18:13.240><c> the</c><00:18:13.519><c> best</c><00:18:13.720><c> of</c><00:18:13.940><c> the</c><00:18:14.160><c> sheep</c><00:18:14.380><c> and</c><00:18:14.559><c> of</c><00:18:14.720><c> the</c><00:18:14.880><c> oxen</c>

00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.480
to<00:18:15.599><c> sacrifice</c><00:18:16.279><c> them</c><00:18:16.460><c> to</c><00:18:16.559><c> the</c><00:18:16.700><c> Lord</c><00:18:16.859><c> thy</c><00:18:17.140><c> God.</c>

00:18:17.819 --> 00:18:20.420
Oh,<00:18:17.980><c> and</c><00:18:18.160><c> the</c><00:18:18.299><c> rest</c><00:18:18.539><c> we</c><00:18:18.819><c> have</c><00:18:18.960><c> utterly</c><00:18:19.299><c> destroyed,</c><00:18:20.079><c> as</c><00:18:20.240><c> you</c>

00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:21.819

00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:23.500
Not.

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:30.140
I<00:18:26.079><c> mean,</c><00:18:26.880><c> the</c><00:18:26.920><c> vanity</c><00:18:27.359><c> and</c><00:18:27.680><c> the</c><00:18:28.039><c> covetousness</c><00:18:28.859><c> of</c><00:18:29.200><c> this</c><00:18:29.500><c> man</c>

00:18:30.140 --> 00:18:33.519
now<00:18:31.319><c> leaves</c><00:18:31.640><c> him</c><00:18:31.920><c> to</c><00:18:32.200><c> moral</c><00:18:32.539><c> cowardice.</c>

00:18:33.940 --> 00:18:38.140
He<00:18:34.119><c> has,</c><00:18:34.579><c> as</c><00:18:34.759><c> we</c><00:18:34.980><c> say</c><00:18:35.119><c> in</c><00:18:35.259><c> the</c><00:18:35.380><c> UK,</c><00:18:36.319><c> strongly</c><00:18:36.880><c> sloping</c><00:18:37.539><c> shoulders,</c>

00:18:38.619 --> 00:18:41.819
and<00:18:39.259><c> he</c><00:18:39.500><c> is</c><00:18:39.720><c> putting</c><00:18:40.019><c> the</c><00:18:40.359><c> blame</c><00:18:40.740><c> somewhere</c><00:18:41.319><c> else.</c>

00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:43.319
Do<00:18:42.460><c> you</c><00:18:42.579><c> now</c><00:18:42.779><c> see</c><00:18:43.019><c> why?</c>

00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.880
You<00:18:43.880><c> may</c><00:18:44.099><c> have</c><00:18:44.220><c> felt</c><00:18:44.359><c> I</c><00:18:44.579><c> overstated</c><00:18:45.160><c> the</c><00:18:45.460><c> case</c><00:18:45.640><c> in</c><00:18:45.819><c> chapter</c><00:18:46.099><c> 14</c><00:18:46.579><c> yesterday,</c>

00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:50.680
but<00:18:47.039><c> do</c><00:18:47.160><c> you</c><00:18:47.180><c> now</c><00:18:47.500><c> see</c><00:18:47.920><c> that</c><00:18:48.380><c> that</c><00:18:48.680><c> little</c><00:18:49.039><c> distancing</c><00:18:49.700><c> of</c><00:18:50.400><c> the</c>

00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:52.819
people<00:18:51.519><c> from</c><00:18:52.339><c> Saul</c>

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:56.299
is<00:18:53.140><c> now</c><00:18:53.579><c> beginning</c><00:18:54.220><c> to</c><00:18:54.779><c> show</c><00:18:54.980><c> itself</c><00:18:55.559><c> here?</c>

00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.839
Saul<00:18:57.160><c> is,</c><00:18:58.180><c> I'm</c><00:18:58.740><c> sure</c><00:18:59.059><c> he</c><00:18:59.339><c> is</c><00:18:59.500><c> feeling</c><00:18:59.960><c> insecure.</c>

00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.019
He's<00:19:01.299><c> not</c><00:19:01.519><c> in</c><00:19:01.779><c> control</c><00:19:02.299><c> of</c><00:19:02.579><c> the</c><00:19:02.819><c> nation</c><00:19:03.099><c> in</c><00:19:03.339><c> the</c><00:19:03.519><c> way</c><00:19:03.660><c> that</c><00:19:03.839><c> he</c>

00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:05.500
wanted<00:19:04.380><c> to</c><00:19:04.680><c> be.</c>

00:19:06.059 --> 00:19:08.940
And<00:19:06.099><c> you</c><00:19:06.559><c> could</c><00:19:06.859><c> see</c><00:19:07.000><c> that</c><00:19:07.279><c> happening</c><00:19:07.579><c> in</c><00:19:07.859><c> chapter</c><00:19:08.160><c> 14</c><00:19:08.619><c> where</c>

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:09.839
twice<00:19:09.299><c> the</c><00:19:09.460><c> people</c><00:19:09.700><c> say,</c>

00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:11.779
okay,<00:19:10.359><c> you</c><00:19:10.440><c> just</c><00:19:10.599><c> do</c><00:19:10.700><c> what</c><00:19:10.819><c> you</c><00:19:10.960><c> like.</c>

00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:13.700
And<00:19:12.000><c> the</c><00:19:12.119><c> next</c><00:19:12.339><c> thing</c><00:19:12.519><c> they</c><00:19:12.700><c> say</c><00:19:12.859><c> nothing</c><00:19:13.119><c> at</c><00:19:13.359><c> all.</c>

00:19:14.059 --> 00:19:16.299
And<00:19:14.180><c> then</c><00:19:14.259><c> when</c><00:19:14.339><c> he</c><00:19:14.460><c> steps</c><00:19:14.700><c> out</c><00:19:14.920><c> of</c><00:19:15.079><c> line</c><00:19:15.220><c> and</c><00:19:15.440><c> threatens</c><00:19:15.660><c> Jonathan,</c><00:19:16.299><c> his</c>

00:19:16.299 --> 00:19:16.900
son<00:19:16.440><c> with</c><00:19:16.720><c> death,</c>

00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.000
they<00:19:17.299><c> all</c><00:19:17.559><c> shout</c><00:19:17.759><c> to</c><00:19:18.000><c> a</c><00:19:18.099><c> man,</c><00:19:18.259><c> don't</c><00:19:18.519><c> you</c><00:19:18.720><c> dare</c><00:19:18.880><c> do</c><00:19:19.059><c> that.</c>

00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:26.059
There<00:19:20.640><c> is</c><00:19:21.000><c> a,</c><00:19:21.799><c> no,</c><00:19:22.160><c> I</c><00:19:22.440><c> won't</c><00:19:22.579><c> make</c><00:19:22.799><c> a</c><00:19:23.099><c> chasm,</c><00:19:23.480><c> but</c><00:19:23.519><c> there</c><00:19:23.680><c> is</c><00:19:23.839><c> some</c><00:19:24.160><c> distancing</c><00:19:24.539><c> going</c><00:19:24.839><c> on</c><00:19:25.119><c> here.</c>

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:30.200
This<00:19:26.420><c> man,</c><00:19:26.940><c> by</c><00:19:27.019><c> the</c><00:19:27.140><c> time</c><00:19:27.299><c> you</c><00:19:27.400><c> get</c><00:19:27.599><c> to</c><00:19:27.759><c> chapter</c><00:19:28.019><c> 15,</c><00:19:29.440><c> is</c><00:19:29.839><c> scared</c><00:19:30.079><c> of</c>

00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:31.660
his<00:19:30.380><c> own</c><00:19:30.579><c> people.</c>

00:19:31.859 --> 00:19:36.619
Now,<00:19:32.200><c> I</c><00:19:32.440><c> ask</c><00:19:32.740><c> you,</c><00:19:33.200><c> what</c><00:19:33.460><c> kind</c><00:19:33.700><c> of</c><00:19:33.880><c> a</c><00:19:34.119><c> commander</c><00:19:34.539><c> is</c><00:19:35.380><c> he</c><00:19:35.839><c> who</c><00:19:36.220><c> is</c>

00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:38.680
frightened<00:19:36.940><c> of</c><00:19:37.119><c> his</c><00:19:37.299><c> own</c><00:19:37.660><c> troops?</c>

00:19:39.339 --> 00:19:44.160
That's<00:19:39.700><c> where</c><00:19:39.900><c> we've</c><00:19:40.220><c> reached</c><00:19:40.720><c> in</c><00:19:41.759><c> the</c><00:19:42.079><c> story</c><00:19:42.740><c> of</c><00:19:43.259><c> Saul,</c><00:19:44.000><c> or</c>

00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:45.319
so<00:19:44.319><c> it</c><00:19:44.500><c> seems</c><00:19:44.720><c> to</c><00:19:44.960><c> me.</c>

00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:49.640
And<00:19:45.799><c> it</c><00:19:45.940><c> started</c><00:19:46.359><c> in</c><00:19:46.579><c> chapter</c><00:19:46.819><c> 14,</c><00:19:47.519><c> and</c><00:19:48.700><c> now</c><00:19:48.940><c> it</c><00:19:49.140><c> comes</c><00:19:49.400><c> to</c>

00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:50.960
full<00:19:49.900><c> fruition.</c>

00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.339
And<00:19:53.359><c> it's</c><00:19:53.839><c> really</c><00:19:54.079><c> quite</c><00:19:54.380><c> appalling,</c><00:19:54.900><c> isn't</c><00:19:55.000><c> it?</c>

00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:01.180
That<00:19:56.000><c> he</c><00:19:56.619><c> should</c><00:19:56.859><c> make</c><00:19:57.299><c> service</c><00:19:57.740><c> to</c><00:19:57.940><c> God</c><00:19:58.200><c> as</c><00:19:58.500><c> an</c><00:19:58.799><c> excuse</c><00:19:59.359><c> for</c><00:20:00.299><c> selfishness.</c>

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.619
And<00:20:01.720><c> then,</c><00:20:01.900><c> of</c><00:20:02.059><c> course,</c><00:20:02.180><c> as</c><00:20:02.359><c> I</c><00:20:02.480><c> say,</c><00:20:02.839><c> to</c><00:20:03.019><c> blame</c><00:20:03.220><c> the</c><00:20:03.440><c> people.</c>

00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:04.559
It<00:20:03.759><c> isn't</c><00:20:03.900><c> just</c><00:20:04.180><c> here,</c><00:20:04.440><c> is</c><00:20:04.460><c> it?</c>

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.700
Look,<00:20:04.740><c> verse</c><00:20:04.980><c> 21,</c><00:20:05.680><c> the</c><00:20:05.980><c> people</c><00:20:06.539><c> took</c><00:20:06.819><c> of</c><00:20:07.019><c> the</c><00:20:07.420><c> spoil.</c>

00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:10.579
It<00:20:08.319><c> happens</c><00:20:08.519><c> again</c><00:20:08.779><c> in</c><00:20:08.940><c> verse</c><00:20:09.180><c> 24.</c>

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:12.480
And<00:20:11.359><c> this</c><00:20:11.599><c> really</c><00:20:11.799><c> does</c><00:20:11.980><c> make</c><00:20:12.119><c> the</c><00:20:12.319><c> point.</c>

00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.059
I<00:20:12.680><c> have</c><00:20:13.039><c> sinned,</c><00:20:13.559><c> I</c><00:20:13.559><c> have</c><00:20:13.839><c> transgressed</c><00:20:14.400><c> the</c><00:20:14.519><c> commandment</c><00:20:14.900><c> of</c>

00:20:15.059 --> 00:20:16.220
the<00:20:15.180><c> Lord</c><00:20:15.359><c> and</c><00:20:15.700><c> thy</c><00:20:15.940><c> words,</c>

00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:20.720
because<00:20:17.019><c> I</c><00:20:17.579><c> feared</c><00:20:17.960><c> the</c><00:20:18.299><c> people</c><00:20:18.799><c> and</c><00:20:19.220><c> obeyed</c><00:20:19.839><c> their</c><00:20:20.299><c> voice.</c>

00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:25.680
You<00:20:21.240><c> see,</c><00:20:21.720><c> a</c><00:20:21.880><c> king</c><00:20:22.240><c> who</c><00:20:22.579><c> listens</c><00:20:22.940><c> to</c><00:20:23.180><c> the</c><00:20:23.420><c> voice</c><00:20:23.660><c> of</c><00:20:23.880><c> his</c><00:20:24.099><c> people</c><00:20:24.500><c> in</c><00:20:24.819><c> such</c><00:20:25.079><c> a</c><00:20:25.279><c> matter</c>

00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.839
showed<00:20:26.180><c> that</c><00:20:26.339><c> he</c><00:20:26.500><c> was</c><00:20:26.720><c> not</c><00:20:26.960><c> their</c><00:20:27.160><c> leader</c><00:20:27.420><c> after</c><00:20:27.819><c> all,</c><00:20:29.640><c> but</c>

00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.220
their<00:20:30.140><c> tool</c><00:20:30.539><c> and</c><00:20:31.000><c> their</c><00:20:31.299><c> slave.</c>

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.920
Oh,<00:20:33.319><c> and</c><00:20:33.519><c> incidentally,</c><00:20:33.940><c> what</c><00:20:34.119><c> do</c><00:20:34.220><c> you</c><00:20:34.339><c> make</c><00:20:34.539><c> of</c><00:20:34.720><c> the</c><00:20:34.980><c> phrase,</c>

00:20:36.299 --> 00:20:38.880

00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:50.940
And<00:20:46.000><c> Samuel</c><00:20:46.460><c> said,</c><00:20:47.019><c> verse</c><00:20:47.200><c> 17,</c><00:20:49.359><c> When</c><00:20:49.559><c> thou</c><00:20:49.779><c> wast</c><00:20:50.079><c> little</c><00:20:50.579><c> in</c>

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:52.200
thine<00:20:51.099><c> own</c><00:20:51.420><c> sight,</c>

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:56.259
wast<00:20:52.980><c> thou</c><00:20:53.140><c> not</c><00:20:53.400><c> made</c><00:20:53.740><c> the</c><00:20:54.059><c> head</c><00:20:54.339><c> of</c><00:20:54.599><c> the</c><00:20:54.799><c> tribes</c><00:20:55.099><c> of</c><00:20:55.240><c> Israel?</c>

00:20:56.579 --> 00:20:59.980
And<00:20:56.839><c> the</c><00:20:57.019><c> Lord</c><00:20:57.299><c> anointed</c><00:20:57.819><c> thee</c><00:20:58.140><c> king</c><00:20:58.460><c> over</c><00:20:58.779><c> Israel?</c>

00:21:00.940 --> 00:21:04.160
As<00:21:01.500><c> I</c><00:21:02.059><c> tried</c><00:21:02.259><c> to</c><00:21:02.460><c> indicate</c><00:21:02.779><c> in</c><00:21:02.880><c> the</c><00:21:03.079><c> question</c><00:21:03.319><c> answer</c><00:21:03.559><c> session</c><00:21:03.880><c> yesterday,</c>

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:06.700
I<00:21:04.299><c> think</c><00:21:04.359><c> this</c><00:21:04.519><c> is</c><00:21:04.579><c> one</c><00:21:04.740><c> of</c><00:21:04.740><c> those</c><00:21:04.980><c> verses</c><00:21:05.299><c> which</c><00:21:05.579><c> indicates</c><00:21:06.160><c> a</c>

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:08.460
man<00:21:07.000><c> who</c><00:21:07.400><c> started</c><00:21:07.680><c> off</c>

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:13.160
with<00:21:09.059><c> no</c><00:21:09.359><c> great</c><00:21:09.819><c> picture</c><00:21:10.160><c> of</c><00:21:10.420><c> himself</c><00:21:10.920><c> and</c><00:21:12.380><c> was</c><00:21:12.519><c> the</c><00:21:12.740><c> kind</c><00:21:12.920><c> of</c>

00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.700
character<00:21:13.380><c> that</c><00:21:13.619><c> God</c><00:21:13.819><c> could</c><00:21:14.180><c> work</c><00:21:14.599><c> with</c><00:21:15.200><c> and</c><00:21:15.700><c> mould.</c>

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:20.519
But<00:21:18.279><c> then</c><00:21:18.500><c> as</c><00:21:18.680><c> time</c><00:21:18.880><c> went</c><00:21:19.099><c> by,</c><00:21:19.500><c> there</c><00:21:19.500><c> was</c><00:21:19.740><c> a</c><00:21:19.940><c> stiffening</c><00:21:20.279><c> of</c>

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:22.680

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:25.079
And<00:21:23.259><c> at</c><00:21:23.420><c> that</c><00:21:23.680><c> point,</c><00:21:24.000><c> God</c><00:21:24.259><c> can</c><00:21:24.500><c> do</c><00:21:24.700><c> nothing.</c>

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.059
That's<00:21:25.700><c> where</c><00:21:25.880><c> we're</c><00:21:26.099><c> at</c><00:21:26.220><c> now,</c><00:21:27.039><c> isn't</c><00:21:27.180><c> it?</c>

00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:33.559
There<00:21:28.720><c> was</c><00:21:28.940><c> a</c><00:21:29.119><c> time</c><00:21:29.299><c> when</c><00:21:29.480><c> you</c><00:21:29.660><c> felt</c><00:21:29.960><c> so</c><00:21:30.539><c> unequal</c><00:21:31.299><c> to</c><00:21:31.779><c> this</c><00:21:32.019><c> great</c><00:21:32.759><c> work,</c><00:21:33.319><c> but</c>

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:34.960
look<00:21:33.819><c> at</c><00:21:34.059><c> you</c><00:21:34.359><c> now.</c>

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:43.359
Now,<00:21:35.799><c> please</c><00:21:38.279><c> remember,</c><00:21:39.559><c> Saul,</c><00:21:40.740><c> your</c><00:21:41.160><c> kingship</c><00:21:42.059><c> comes</c><00:21:42.559><c> solely,</c><00:21:43.259><c> and</c>

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:44.220
that's<00:21:43.519><c> the</c><00:21:43.700><c> point,</c><00:21:43.980><c> you</c><00:21:44.079><c> see,</c>

00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.500
at<00:21:44.380><c> the</c><00:21:44.440><c> end</c><00:21:44.619><c> of</c><00:21:44.819><c> the</c><00:21:44.940><c> verse</c><00:21:45.180><c> there.</c>

00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.539
The<00:21:45.960><c> Lord</c><00:21:46.420><c> anointed</c><00:21:47.019><c> thee</c><00:21:47.319><c> king.</c>

00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:57.259
I<00:21:54.539><c> think</c><00:21:54.720><c> you've</c><00:21:55.000><c> forgotten</c><00:21:55.440><c> that,</c><00:21:56.759><c> Saul.</c>

00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:03.599
And<00:21:58.700><c> because</c><00:21:59.140><c> of</c><00:21:59.400><c> that,</c><00:22:00.099><c> you</c><00:22:00.579><c> owe</c><00:22:01.099><c> him</c><00:22:02.099><c> obedience.</c>

00:22:04.579 --> 00:22:07.500
Well,<00:22:05.140><c> you</c><00:22:05.200><c> know,</c><00:22:05.279><c> there's</c><00:22:05.480><c> no</c><00:22:05.700><c> stopping,</c><00:22:06.279><c> no</c><00:22:06.599><c> stopping</c><00:22:06.940><c> Saul</c><00:22:07.259><c> here.</c>

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:12.359
And<00:22:09.539><c> the</c><00:22:09.640><c> Lord</c><00:22:09.819><c> sent</c><00:22:10.079><c> the</c><00:22:10.240><c> unadorned</c><00:22:10.700><c> and</c><00:22:10.700><c> said,</c><00:22:11.099><c> go</c><00:22:11.200><c> and</c><00:22:11.339><c> utterly</c><00:22:11.599><c> destroy</c><00:22:11.940><c> the</c><00:22:12.200><c> sinners,</c>

00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:17.660

00:22:17.900 --> 00:22:19.619
Why<00:22:18.099><c> did</c><00:22:18.240><c> you</c><00:22:18.519><c> fly</c><00:22:18.819><c> upon</c><00:22:19.099><c> the</c><00:22:19.460><c> spoil?</c>

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:22.140
Why<00:22:20.119><c> did</c><00:22:20.299><c> you</c><00:22:20.519><c> do</c><00:22:20.640><c> this</c><00:22:20.900><c> evil</c><00:22:21.200><c> in</c><00:22:21.420><c> the</c><00:22:21.599><c> sight</c><00:22:21.740><c> of</c><00:22:21.920><c> the</c><00:22:22.039><c> Lord?</c>

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:25.160
And<00:22:22.420><c> Saul</c><00:22:22.539><c> said</c><00:22:22.720><c> unto</c><00:22:22.960><c> Samuel,</c><00:22:23.180><c> yea,</c><00:22:23.460><c> I</c><00:22:23.900><c> have</c><00:22:24.119><c> obeyed</c><00:22:24.559><c> the</c><00:22:24.680><c> voice</c><00:22:24.940><c> of</c>

the<00:22:25.319><c> Lord.</c>

00:22:25.660 --> 00:22:27.799
I<00:22:25.940><c> have</c><00:22:26.240><c> gone</c><00:22:26.500><c> the</c><00:22:26.680><c> way</c><00:22:26.839><c> which</c><00:22:27.059><c> the</c><00:22:27.240><c> Lord</c><00:22:27.400><c> sent</c><00:22:27.599><c> me.</c>

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:31.240
I've<00:22:28.460><c> brought</c><00:22:28.720><c> Agag</c><00:22:29.299><c> the</c><00:22:29.480><c> king</c><00:22:29.720><c> of</c><00:22:30.160><c> Amalek</c><00:22:30.500><c> and</c><00:22:30.640><c> have</c><00:22:31.000><c> utterly</c>

destroyed<00:22:31.660><c> the</c><00:22:31.880><c> Amalekites.</c>

00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:36.160
How<00:22:32.839><c> on</c><00:22:33.119><c> earth</c><00:22:33.220><c> this</c><00:22:33.400><c> man</c><00:22:33.619><c> persists</c><00:22:34.859><c> in</c><00:22:35.380><c> trying</c><00:22:35.559><c> to</c><00:22:35.779><c> convince</c>

00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.519
Samuel<00:22:36.759><c> that</c><00:22:36.920><c> he's</c><00:22:37.319><c> completed</c><00:22:37.819><c> the</c><00:22:38.200><c> task</c>

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:42.700
when<00:22:38.900><c> the</c><00:22:39.259><c> evidence</c><00:22:39.640><c> is</c><00:22:39.920><c> all</c><00:22:40.220><c> there</c><00:22:40.519><c> around</c><00:22:41.200><c> to</c><00:22:41.559><c> the</c><00:22:41.779><c> contrary.</c>

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:56.960
You<00:22:50.039><c> see,</c><00:22:52.599><c> when</c><00:22:52.839><c> the</c><00:22:53.160><c> message</c><00:22:53.440><c> came</c><00:22:53.880><c> through,</c><00:22:55.059><c> utterly</c><00:22:55.599><c> destroy,</c>

00:22:57.059 --> 00:23:00.880
which<00:22:57.279><c> you</c><00:22:57.440><c> may</c><00:22:57.619><c> remember</c><00:22:58.019><c> we</c><00:22:58.299><c> said</c><00:22:58.539><c> he's</c><00:22:58.940><c> devoted</c><00:22:59.440><c> to</c><00:22:59.799><c> God.</c>

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:05.549
If<00:23:01.640><c> that's</c><00:23:02.099><c> the</c><00:23:02.380><c> case,</c><00:23:03.259><c> if</c><00:23:03.460><c> that</c><00:23:03.880><c> really</c><00:23:04.200><c> is</c><00:23:04.500><c> the</c><00:23:04.720><c> case,</c>

00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:14.259
the<00:23:07.880><c> spoil</c><00:23:08.180><c> was</c><00:23:08.680><c> devoted</c><00:23:09.359><c> and</c><00:23:10.339><c> was</c><00:23:10.660><c> not</c><00:23:10.940><c> in</c><00:23:11.180><c> any</c><00:23:11.500><c> sense</c><00:23:11.960><c> available</c><00:23:12.619><c> to</c><00:23:13.039><c> anybody</c><00:23:13.519><c> else</c><00:23:13.940><c> to</c>

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:18.680
It<00:23:16.940><c> was</c><00:23:17.240><c> his</c><00:23:17.420><c> already.</c>

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:22.000
And<00:23:19.119><c> this</c><00:23:19.500><c> was</c><00:23:19.799><c> clearly</c><00:23:20.160><c> beyond</c><00:23:20.640><c> the</c><00:23:20.940><c> thinking</c><00:23:21.180><c> of</c><00:23:21.460><c> this</c><00:23:21.720><c> man</c>

00:23:25.380 --> 00:23:29.279
The<00:23:25.779><c> notion</c><00:23:26.200><c> of</c><00:23:26.640><c> collecting</c><00:23:27.059><c> something</c><00:23:27.680><c> to</c><00:23:28.460><c> pass</c><00:23:28.759><c> it</c><00:23:28.960><c> to</c><00:23:29.119><c> God</c>

00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:03.299
Badly.

00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:05.680
Oh,<00:25:03.819><c> and</c><00:25:03.980><c> he</c><00:25:04.119><c> hasn't</c><00:25:04.420><c> finished.</c>

00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:11.220
You<00:25:10.359><c> didn't</c><00:25:10.660><c> listen</c><00:25:10.920><c> to</c><00:25:11.099><c> the</c><00:25:11.160><c> Lord.</c>

00:25:11.220 --> 00:25:12.559
This<00:25:11.380><c> is</c><00:25:11.599><c> rebellion,</c><00:25:11.940><c> but</c><00:25:12.059><c> look</c><00:25:12.220><c> at</c><00:25:12.319><c> this.</c>

00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:16.539
For<00:25:12.859><c> rebellion</c><00:25:13.359><c> is</c><00:25:13.759><c> as</c><00:25:14.000><c> the</c><00:25:14.259><c> sin</c><00:25:14.420><c> of</c><00:25:14.960><c> witchcraft</c><00:25:15.559><c> or</c><00:25:15.920><c> divination.</c>

00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:21.279
And<00:25:17.440><c> stubbornness</c><00:25:18.099><c> is</c><00:25:18.619><c> as</c><00:25:19.019><c> idolatry,</c><00:25:19.920><c> revised</c><00:25:20.279><c> version.</c>

00:25:22.660 --> 00:25:26.039

00:25:30.380 --> 00:25:32.380

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:34.880
I<00:25:32.779><c> think</c><00:25:33.059><c> I</c><00:25:33.259><c> misled</c><00:25:33.579><c> you</c><00:25:33.740><c> yesterday,</c><00:25:34.279><c> brethren</c><00:25:34.359><c> and</c><00:25:34.519><c> sisters,</c>

00:25:53.779 --> 00:25:54.319
It's<00:25:54.039><c> wrong.</c>

00:25:54.619 --> 00:25:57.059
It's<00:25:54.859><c> the</c><00:25:55.079><c> dynasty</c><00:25:55.440><c> that</c><00:25:55.660><c> was</c><00:25:55.900><c> finished</c><00:25:56.220><c> then.</c>

This<00:29:42.960><c> is</c><00:29:43.259><c> a</c><00:29:43.539><c> powerful</c><00:29:44.099><c> phrase</c><00:29:44.500><c> for</c><00:29:44.740><c> the</c><00:29:44.859><c> God</c><00:29:44.980><c> of</c><00:29:45.140><c> Israel.</c>

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:47.980
Will<00:29:46.200><c> not</c><00:29:46.619><c> lie</c><00:29:46.920><c> nor</c><00:29:47.380><c> repent.</c>

00:29:47.980 --> 00:29:50.599
He<00:29:48.400><c> is</c><00:29:48.859><c> not</c><00:29:49.099><c> a</c><00:29:49.380><c> man</c><00:29:49.539><c> that</c><00:29:49.720><c> he</c><00:29:49.920><c> should</c><00:29:50.099><c> repent.</c>

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:53.579
I<00:29:51.119><c> missed</c><00:29:51.359><c> out</c><00:29:51.640><c> the</c><00:29:51.859><c> end</c><00:29:52.079><c> of</c><00:29:52.259><c> that</c><00:29:52.460><c> 28th</c><00:29:53.279><c> verse.</c>

00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:55.880
The<00:29:54.019><c> Lord</c><00:29:54.259><c> hath</c><00:29:54.460><c> rent</c><00:29:54.599><c> the</c><00:29:54.799><c> kingdom</c><00:29:55.059><c> of</c><00:29:55.200><c> Israel</c><00:29:55.460><c> from</c><00:29:55.720><c> thee</c>

this<00:29:56.099><c> day.</c>

00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:59.140
He's<00:29:56.799><c> given</c><00:29:57.019><c> it</c><00:29:57.279><c> to</c><00:29:57.420><c> a</c><00:29:57.559><c> neighbor</c><00:29:57.859><c> of</c><00:29:58.160><c> thine</c><00:29:58.380><c> that's</c><00:29:58.740><c> better</c>

00:29:59.140 --> 00:30:00.200
than<00:29:59.420><c> thou.</c>

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:04.619
Oh,<00:30:02.460><c> light</c><00:30:02.480><c> darts</c><00:30:02.980><c> into</c><00:30:03.259><c> this</c><00:30:03.579><c> man.</c>

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:06.460
Light<00:30:05.539><c> darts.</c>

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:15.079
Every<00:30:08.380><c> phrase</c><00:30:08.940><c> from</c><00:30:09.420><c> Samuel</c><00:30:10.240><c> would</c><00:30:11.259><c> hurt</c><00:30:12.000><c> and</c><00:30:13.759><c> make</c><00:30:14.000><c> its</c><00:30:14.299><c> point.</c>

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:20.579
Nonetheless,<00:30:17.940><c> there</c><00:30:18.039><c> is</c><00:30:18.359><c> somebody</c><00:30:18.779><c> else</c><00:30:19.240><c> in</c><00:30:19.599><c> mind</c><00:30:19.839><c> now.</c>

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:28.900
Now,<00:30:25.759><c> I</c><00:30:26.240><c> have</c><00:30:26.480><c> this</c><00:30:26.680><c> as</c><00:30:26.859><c> a</c><00:30:27.059><c> handout,</c><00:30:27.500><c> so</c><00:30:27.720><c> don't</c><00:30:27.960><c> worry</c><00:30:28.240><c> trying</c><00:30:28.519><c> to.</c>

00:30:29.059 --> 00:30:32.400
In<00:30:29.220><c> fact,</c><00:30:29.440><c> it's</c><00:30:29.740><c> a</c><00:30:30.099><c> very</c><00:30:30.420><c> curly</c><00:30:30.660><c> handout</c><00:30:31.140><c> at</c><00:30:31.299><c> the</c><00:30:31.420><c> minute.</c>

00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:37.960
But<00:30:35.819><c> very</c><00:30:36.220><c> simply,</c><00:30:37.140><c> what</c><00:30:37.299><c> I've</c><00:30:37.480><c> done</c><00:30:37.680><c> here,</c>

00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:40.440

00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:43.480

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:47.039
This<00:30:43.859><c> is</c><00:30:44.259><c> coming,</c><00:30:44.700><c> but</c><00:30:44.839><c> I</c><00:30:45.019><c> am</c><00:30:45.180><c> just</c><00:30:45.599><c> struck</c><00:30:45.839><c> with</c><00:30:46.059><c> the</c><00:30:46.339><c> dramatic</c><00:30:46.759><c> way</c>

You<00:30:57.700><c> know,</c><00:30:57.940><c> everything.</c>

00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:01.799
A<00:30:59.019><c> little</c><00:30:59.259><c> green</c><00:30:59.660><c> light</c><00:30:59.960><c> comes</c><00:31:00.240><c> up</c><00:31:00.400><c> and</c><00:31:00.519><c> a</c><00:31:00.859><c> ping</c><00:31:01.240><c> sounds</c><00:31:01.599><c> when</c>

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:08.539

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:10.099
Have<00:31:08.680><c> you</c><00:31:08.819><c> seen</c><00:31:08.960><c> how</c><00:31:09.119><c> it</c><00:31:09.319><c> happens?</c>

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.720
First<00:31:10.460><c> of</c><00:31:10.640><c> all,</c><00:31:10.859><c> in</c><00:31:10.920><c> chapter</c><00:31:11.160><c> 13,</c><00:31:13.220><c> a</c><00:31:13.240><c> man</c><00:31:13.500><c> after</c><00:31:13.799><c> God's</c><00:31:14.140><c> own</c><00:31:14.460><c> heart.</c>

00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:17.099
Well,<00:31:14.980><c> I</c><00:31:15.099><c> could</c><00:31:15.220><c> be</c><00:31:15.359><c> anybody,</c><00:31:16.000><c> you</c><00:31:16.039><c> know,</c><00:31:16.599><c> just</c><00:31:16.819><c> somebody,</c>

00:31:24.059 --> 00:31:25.900
Oh,<00:31:24.220><c> a</c><00:31:24.339><c> little</c><00:31:24.519><c> closer</c><00:31:24.920><c> now.</c>

00:31:32.779 --> 00:31:35.440
Hey,<00:31:33.319><c> this</c><00:31:33.500><c> is</c><00:31:33.640><c> going</c><00:31:33.720><c> to</c><00:31:33.759><c> be</c><00:31:33.880><c> a</c><00:31:33.960><c> battle</c><00:31:34.180><c> here,</c><00:31:34.380><c> isn't</c><00:31:34.480><c> it?</c>

00:31:35.500 --> 00:31:36.799
No,<00:31:35.779><c> no</c><00:31:36.039><c> problem.</c>

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:43.160
We<00:31:40.079><c> have</c><00:31:40.339><c> the,</c><00:31:40.579><c> we</c><00:31:41.660><c> have</c><00:31:41.859><c> the</c><00:31:42.099><c> technology.</c>

I'm<00:31:52.599><c> sure</c><00:31:52.700><c> this</c><00:31:52.859><c> isn't</c><00:31:53.019><c> what</c><00:31:53.160><c> we're</c><00:31:53.420><c> meant</c><00:31:53.519><c> to</c><00:31:53.700><c> do</c><00:31:53.799><c> with</c><00:31:53.960><c> him</c>

00:31:54.140 --> 00:31:55.539

00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.259
I<00:32:06.420><c> just</c><00:32:06.740><c> love</c><00:32:06.920><c> the</c><00:32:07.099><c> way</c><00:32:07.259><c> in</c><00:32:07.339><c> which</c><00:32:07.420><c> the</c><00:32:07.619><c> writer</c><00:32:07.799><c> does</c><00:32:08.059><c> it.</c>

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:12.980
And<00:32:08.640><c> suddenly,</c><00:32:09.319><c> ping,</c><00:32:09.519><c> he's</c><00:32:09.759><c> there,</c><00:32:10.240><c> you</c><00:32:10.380><c> know,</c><00:32:11.640><c> in</c><00:32:11.759><c> all</c><00:32:12.319><c> the</c>

00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:15.099
way<00:32:13.220><c> in</c><00:32:13.400><c> which</c><00:32:13.680><c> he</c><00:32:14.339><c> is</c><00:32:14.599><c> described,</c>

00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:17.660
you<00:32:15.359><c> know,</c><00:32:15.519><c> as</c><00:32:15.779><c> the</c><00:32:16.019><c> one</c><00:32:16.240><c> that</c><00:32:16.480><c> God</c><00:32:16.779><c> now</c><00:32:17.220><c> wants.</c>

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:20.579
Not<00:32:18.279><c> the</c><00:32:18.519><c> nation,</c><00:32:19.160><c> I</c><00:32:19.559><c> want</c><00:32:19.900><c> my</c><00:32:20.359><c> king.</c>

00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:23.640
And<00:32:20.740><c> he's</c><00:32:20.859><c> gone</c><00:32:21.059><c> for</c><00:32:21.359><c> David,</c><00:32:21.720><c> you</c><00:32:21.920><c> know,</c><00:32:22.240><c> and</c><00:32:22.480><c> here</c><00:32:22.680><c> it</c><00:32:22.859><c> is.</c>

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:26.259
And<00:32:23.859><c> so</c><00:32:23.920><c> the</c><00:32:24.119><c> spirit</c><00:32:24.359><c> of</c><00:32:24.539><c> the</c><00:32:24.660><c> Lord</c><00:32:24.799><c> comes</c><00:32:25.079><c> on</c><00:32:25.319><c> David</c><00:32:25.680><c> mightily.</c>

00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:30.140
He's<00:32:26.799><c> brought</c><00:32:27.059><c> into</c><00:32:27.339><c> Saul's</c><00:32:27.740><c> court,</c><00:32:28.019><c> you</c><00:32:28.200><c> remember,</c><00:32:28.680><c> as</c><00:32:28.880><c> the</c><00:32:29.039><c> musician.</c>

00:32:30.940 --> 00:32:33.519
By<00:32:31.140><c> this</c><00:32:31.420><c> time,</c><00:32:31.660><c> of</c><00:32:31.779><c> course,</c><00:32:32.019><c> David</c><00:32:32.220><c> is</c><00:32:32.680><c> pretty</c><00:32:32.880><c> fine</c><00:32:33.240><c> sharp.</c>

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:34.599
He's<00:32:33.859><c> very</c><00:32:34.079><c> popular.</c>

00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:38.160
And<00:32:35.079><c> the</c><00:32:35.519><c> jealousy,</c><00:32:36.200><c> which</c><00:32:36.420><c> you</c><00:32:36.619><c> always</c><00:32:36.900><c> knew</c><00:32:37.140><c> was</c><00:32:37.380><c> there</c><00:32:37.640><c> in</c><00:32:37.960><c> Saul,</c>

00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:41.500
now<00:32:38.720><c> rises</c><00:32:39.019><c> to</c><00:32:39.240><c> the</c><00:32:39.380><c> surface</c><00:32:39.839><c> and</c><00:32:40.220><c> eyes</c><00:32:40.420><c> David</c><00:32:40.799><c> with</c><00:32:41.059><c> jealousy.</c>

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:44.779
But<00:32:42.000><c> in</c><00:32:42.240><c> the</c><00:32:42.339><c> eyes</c><00:32:42.440><c> of</c><00:32:42.599><c> the</c><00:32:42.759><c> people,</c><00:32:43.440><c> David</c><00:32:43.740><c> can</c><00:32:44.000><c> do</c><00:32:44.160><c> no</c><00:32:44.400><c> wrong,</c>

00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:45.420
all<00:32:45.240><c> right?</c>

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:46.920
He<00:32:45.660><c> then</c><00:32:45.920><c> marries</c><00:32:46.180><c> into</c><00:32:46.420><c> the</c><00:32:46.660><c> family.</c>

00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:49.420
I<00:32:47.059><c> mean,</c><00:32:47.140><c> how</c><00:32:47.400><c> close</c><00:32:47.579><c> you</c><00:32:47.700><c> want</c><00:32:47.839><c> to</c><00:32:48.039><c> be</c><00:32:48.380><c> to</c><00:32:48.680><c> the</c><00:32:48.920><c> throne,</c><00:32:49.259><c> yeah?</c>

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:50.160
And<00:32:49.700><c> here</c><00:32:49.839><c> it</c><00:32:50.000><c> is.</c>

00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:52.559
And<00:32:50.599><c> then</c><00:32:50.900><c> finally,</c><00:32:51.339><c> as</c><00:32:51.700><c> I'm</c><00:32:51.880><c> sure</c><00:32:52.000><c> you</c><00:32:52.240><c> understand,</c>

00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.640
this<00:32:52.740><c> is</c><00:32:52.880><c> not</c><00:32:53.059><c> part</c><00:32:53.259><c> of</c><00:32:53.420><c> our</c><00:32:53.680><c> theme</c><00:32:54.000><c> for</c><00:32:54.380><c> the</c><00:32:54.539><c> week.</c>

00:32:54.660 --> 00:32:56.039
We<00:32:54.779><c> can't</c><00:32:55.039><c> do</c><00:32:55.180><c> everything</c><00:32:55.500><c> on</c><00:32:55.819><c> Saul,</c>

00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:59.500
but<00:32:56.539><c> even</c><00:32:56.940><c> Saul</c><00:32:57.180><c> has</c><00:32:57.400><c> to</c><00:32:57.559><c> acknowledge</c><00:32:58.079><c> that</c><00:32:58.779><c> David</c><00:32:59.160><c> will</c><00:32:59.359><c> be</c>

00:32:59.500 --> 00:33:00.259
the<00:32:59.640><c> next</c><00:32:59.920><c> king.</c>

00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:03.279
And<00:33:00.740><c> finally,</c><00:33:01.140><c> of</c><00:33:01.140><c> course,</c><00:33:01.579><c> when</c><00:33:01.819><c> he's</c><00:33:02.240><c> killed,</c>

00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:07.200
David<00:33:04.099><c> then</c><00:33:04.579><c> is</c><00:33:04.880><c> anointed</c><00:33:05.220><c> first</c><00:33:05.619><c> of</c><00:33:05.839><c> Judah,</c><00:33:06.619><c> then</c><00:33:06.779><c> of</c><00:33:07.000><c> Israel.</c>

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:08.740
All<00:33:07.599><c> of</c><00:33:07.839><c> that.</c>

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:10.359
Thanks,<00:33:09.900><c> Sir</c><00:33:10.099><c> Colm.</c>

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:12.099
All<00:33:10.759><c> of</c><00:33:10.940><c> that</c><00:33:11.220><c> is</c><00:33:11.480><c> on</c><00:33:11.660><c> a</c><00:33:11.819><c> handout.</c>

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.720
If<00:33:12.380><c> you</c><00:33:12.579><c> find</c><00:33:12.779><c> that</c><00:33:13.019><c> at</c><00:33:13.180><c> all</c><00:33:13.319><c> useful,</c><00:33:13.960><c> if</c><00:33:14.140><c> I'll</c><00:33:14.339><c> turn</c><00:33:14.460><c> that</c><00:33:14.599><c> off</c>

00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.079
now,<00:33:15.660><c> okay?</c>

00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:20.519
I<00:33:16.640><c> think</c><00:33:17.519><c> it's</c><00:33:17.759><c> marvellous</c><00:33:18.160><c> writing</c><00:33:18.519><c> of</c><00:33:19.660><c> whoever</c><00:33:19.980><c> put</c><00:33:20.259><c> first</c>

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:21.240
Samuel<00:33:20.759><c> together.</c>

00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:23.819
Under<00:33:21.720><c> the</c><00:33:22.079><c> spirit,</c><00:33:22.480><c> it's</c><00:33:22.759><c> good</c><00:33:22.960><c> stuff.</c>

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:27.759
So<00:33:24.099><c> the</c><00:33:25.180><c> matter</c><00:33:25.380><c> is</c><00:33:25.619><c> settled</c><00:33:25.940><c> now,</c><00:33:26.200><c> isn't</c><00:33:26.380><c> it?</c>

00:33:27.900 --> 00:33:30.319
You<00:33:28.019><c> know,</c><00:33:28.660><c> God</c><00:33:28.839><c> has</c><00:33:29.039><c> made</c><00:33:29.180><c> his</c><00:33:29.339><c> decision.</c>

00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:34.640
And<00:33:32.960><c> that's</c><00:33:33.559><c> it.</c>

00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:43.900
And<00:33:36.380><c> then</c><00:33:37.319><c> Samuel,</c><00:33:38.900><c> who</c><00:33:39.200><c> is</c><00:33:39.579><c> a</c><00:33:39.779><c> man,</c><00:33:41.680><c> repents,</c><00:33:42.779><c> right?</c>

00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:45.240
Verse<00:33:44.519><c> 30.</c>

00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.740
Then<00:33:45.519><c> he</c><00:33:45.819><c> said,</c><00:33:46.240><c> I</c><00:33:46.240><c> have</c><00:33:46.579><c> sinned,</c><00:33:47.079><c> yet</c><00:33:47.259><c> honor</c><00:33:47.519><c> me.</c>

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:50.640
Now<00:33:47.960><c> I</c><00:33:48.220><c> pray</c><00:33:48.480><c> thee</c><00:33:48.700><c> before</c><00:33:49.140><c> the</c><00:33:49.440><c> elders</c><00:33:49.779><c> of</c><00:33:50.000><c> my</c><00:33:50.339><c> people,</c>

00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:52.940
before<00:33:51.039><c> Israel,</c><00:33:51.660><c> and</c><00:33:51.839><c> turn</c><00:33:52.099><c> again</c><00:33:52.480><c> with</c><00:33:52.740><c> me.</c>

00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:56.480
His<00:33:53.680><c> street</c><00:33:54.099><c> cred</c><00:33:54.380><c> is</c><00:33:54.660><c> shot</c><00:33:54.960><c> to</c><00:33:55.319><c> pieces</c><00:33:55.700><c> here,</c><00:33:56.019><c> isn't</c><00:33:56.220><c> it?</c>

00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:00.799
And<00:33:56.720><c> he</c><00:33:56.880><c> simply</c><00:33:57.319><c> wants</c><00:33:57.640><c> to</c><00:33:57.980><c> save</c><00:33:58.140><c> whatever</c><00:33:58.500><c> he</c><00:33:58.819><c> can</c><00:33:59.119><c> in</c><00:33:59.500><c> the</c><00:33:59.839><c> face</c><00:34:00.200><c> of</c>

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:03.079
the<00:34:01.059><c> people</c><00:34:01.519><c> and</c><00:34:01.819><c> the</c><00:34:02.119><c> elders.</c>

00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:05.299
Oh,<00:34:03.940><c> this</c><00:34:04.140><c> is</c><00:34:04.420><c> pride.</c>

00:34:07.220 --> 00:34:12.539
So<00:34:07.220><c> Samuel</c><00:34:08.340><c> turned,</c><00:34:10.480><c> whereas</c><00:34:10.659><c> God</c><00:34:11.019><c> was</c><00:34:11.300><c> not</c><00:34:11.539><c> going</c><00:34:11.820><c> to.</c>

00:34:12.820 --> 00:34:17.340
But<00:34:13.139><c> Samuel</c><00:34:13.579><c> turned</c><00:34:13.940><c> again</c><00:34:14.320><c> with</c><00:34:14.659><c> Saul,</c><00:34:15.460><c> and</c><00:34:15.699><c> Saul</c><00:34:16.099><c> worshipped</c><00:34:16.780><c> with</c><00:34:17.019><c> the</c><00:34:17.159><c> Lord.</c>

00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:22.320
I<00:34:17.900><c> think</c><00:34:18.340><c> he</c><00:34:19.300><c> did</c><00:34:19.699><c> it</c><00:34:19.940><c> not</c><00:34:20.159><c> for</c><00:34:20.420><c> Saul's</c><00:34:20.820><c> sake,</c><00:34:21.699><c> but</c><00:34:21.880><c> for</c><00:34:22.099><c> the</c>

00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:23.139
nation's<00:34:22.900><c> sake.</c>

00:34:23.139 --> 00:34:27.360
Please<00:34:23.780><c> remember,</c><00:34:24.639><c> I</c><00:34:24.840><c> think</c><00:34:25.079><c> Samuel</c><00:34:25.500><c> carries</c><00:34:26.119><c> the</c><00:34:26.480><c> nation</c><00:34:26.840><c> high</c><00:34:27.199><c> on</c>

00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:28.420
his<00:34:27.679><c> heart.</c>

00:34:29.059 --> 00:34:31.860
For<00:34:29.179><c> Saul,</c><00:34:30.659><c> not</c><00:34:30.800><c> now.</c>

00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:34.039
Not<00:34:32.860><c> any</c><00:34:33.139><c> longer.</c>

00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:36.480
Oh,<00:34:35.460><c> and</c><00:34:35.679><c> who's</c><00:34:35.900><c> this</c><00:34:36.099><c> across</c><00:34:36.360><c> here?</c>

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:37.400
We'd<00:34:36.699><c> almost</c><00:34:36.900><c> forgotten</c><00:34:37.219><c> him.</c>

00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:39.380
We've<00:34:38.260><c> got</c><00:34:38.420><c> Agag</c><00:34:38.780><c> across</c><00:34:39.119><c> here.</c>

00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:40.960
I've<00:34:39.699><c> forgotten</c><00:34:39.800><c> all</c><00:34:40.019><c> about</c><00:34:40.219><c> him.</c>

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:42.340
Samuel<00:34:41.719><c> hasn't.</c>

00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:44.679
It's<00:34:42.920><c> just</c><00:34:43.079><c> a</c><00:34:43.219><c> small</c><00:34:43.420><c> matter</c><00:34:43.659><c> to</c><00:34:43.860><c> be</c><00:34:44.059><c> seen</c><00:34:44.239><c> here.</c>

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:48.340
And<00:34:45.219><c> my</c><00:34:45.440><c> guess</c><00:34:45.679><c> is</c><00:34:45.860><c> that</c><00:34:46.099><c> Agag</c><00:34:46.440><c> is</c><00:34:47.019><c> feeling</c><00:34:47.219><c> pretty</c><00:34:47.519><c> comfortable</c><00:34:47.900><c> right</c><00:34:48.179><c> now.</c>

00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:51.699
He<00:34:48.519><c> thinks,</c><00:34:48.739><c> you</c><00:34:48.880><c> know,</c><00:34:49.500><c> he's</c><00:34:50.059><c> safe,</c><00:34:50.539><c> secure,</c><00:34:50.860><c> and</c><00:34:50.920><c> what</c><00:34:51.000><c> have</c><00:34:51.199><c> you.</c>

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:54.139
And,<00:34:52.239><c> well,</c><00:34:53.199><c> that</c><00:34:53.360><c> wasn't</c><00:34:53.599><c> the</c><00:34:53.840><c> case.</c>

00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:56.320
And<00:34:54.360><c> you</c><00:34:54.460><c> know</c><00:34:54.599><c> how</c><00:34:54.800><c> this</c><00:34:55.099><c> story</c><00:34:55.320><c> unfolds</c><00:34:55.840><c> for</c><00:34:55.980><c> the</c><00:34:56.119><c> remainder</c>

00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:57.679
of<00:34:56.500><c> the</c><00:34:56.599><c> chapter.</c>

00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:06.159
Samuel<00:35:00.599><c> sets</c><00:35:01.159><c> about</c><00:35:02.639><c> cutting</c><00:35:04.059><c> in</c><00:35:04.400><c> pieces</c><00:35:05.039><c> Agag.</c>

00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:11.559
And<00:35:06.539><c> please</c><00:35:06.820><c> notice</c><00:35:07.039><c> what</c><00:35:07.280><c> verse</c><00:35:07.519><c> 33</c><00:35:07.940><c> says,</c><00:35:09.639><c> before</c><00:35:10.019><c> the</c><00:35:10.519><c> Lord.</c>

00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:17.380
This<00:35:12.820><c> is,</c><00:35:13.099><c> if</c><00:35:13.239><c> I</c><00:35:13.360><c> might</c><00:35:13.500><c> use</c><00:35:13.760><c> this</c><00:35:14.039><c> phrase,</c><00:35:14.699><c> this</c><00:35:14.920><c> is</c><00:35:15.440><c> a</c><00:35:15.780><c> ritual</c><00:35:16.739><c> killing.</c>

00:35:17.820 --> 00:35:19.460
It's<00:35:18.079><c> not</c><00:35:18.300><c> political.</c>

00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:25.039
God's<00:35:21.440><c> justice</c><00:35:22.000><c> is</c><00:35:22.800><c> being</c><00:35:23.320><c> seen</c><00:35:23.639><c> to</c><00:35:23.840><c> be</c><00:35:24.059><c> done.</c>

00:35:25.380 --> 00:35:28.800
But<00:35:25.539><c> he</c><00:35:25.699><c> should</c><00:35:25.860><c> have</c><00:35:26.019><c> been</c><00:35:26.199><c> dead</c><00:35:26.340><c> long</c><00:35:26.599><c> ago</c><00:35:27.179><c> with</c><00:35:28.139><c> all</c><00:35:28.340><c> the</c><00:35:28.460><c> rest</c><00:35:28.659><c> of</c>

00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:29.940
the<00:35:28.900><c> Amalekites.</c>

00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:32.800
And<00:35:31.820><c> how</c><00:35:32.119><c> sad</c><00:35:32.300><c> is</c><00:35:32.579><c> this?</c>

00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:33.940
Verse<00:35:33.019><c> 34.</c>

00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:39.139
Then<00:35:34.460><c> Samuel</c><00:35:34.900><c> went</c><00:35:35.219><c> to</c><00:35:35.519><c> Ramah,</c><00:35:37.219><c> and</c><00:35:37.480><c> Saul</c><00:35:37.619><c> went</c><00:35:37.960><c> up</c><00:35:38.179><c> to</c><00:35:38.340><c> his</c><00:35:38.579><c> house</c><00:35:38.920><c> to</c>

00:35:39.139 --> 00:35:40.800
Gibeah<00:35:39.539><c> of</c><00:35:39.840><c> Saul.</c>

00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:44.739
And<00:35:42.019><c> Samuel</c><00:35:42.340><c> came</c><00:35:42.719><c> no</c><00:35:43.039><c> more</c><00:35:43.239><c> to</c><00:35:43.480><c> see</c><00:35:43.639><c> Saul</c><00:35:43.920><c> until</c><00:35:44.239><c> the</c><00:35:44.400><c> day</c><00:35:44.619><c> of</c>

00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:45.739
his<00:35:44.960><c> death.</c>

00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:49.699
A<00:35:48.079><c> parting</c><00:35:48.380><c> of</c><00:35:48.639><c> the</c><00:35:48.840><c> ways.</c>

00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:56.900
Saul,<00:35:52.619><c> generally</c><00:35:53.000><c> downwards,</c><00:35:54.480><c> heading</c><00:35:54.719><c> irretrievably</c><00:35:55.900><c> towards</c><00:35:56.579><c> the</c>

00:35:56.900 --> 00:35:59.579
darkness<00:35:57.300><c> that</c><00:35:57.719><c> must</c><00:35:58.000><c> come</c><00:35:58.420><c> when</c><00:35:58.980><c> a</c><00:35:59.260><c> man</c>

00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:04.079
And<00:36:03.260><c> Samuel?</c>

00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:08.079
Well,<00:36:05.059><c> Samuel</c><00:36:05.420><c> no</c><00:36:05.679><c> doubt</c><00:36:05.960><c> had</c><00:36:06.199><c> built</c><00:36:06.460><c> up</c><00:36:06.639><c> his</c><00:36:06.980><c> hopes</c><00:36:07.380><c> for</c><00:36:07.760><c> his</c>

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:10.079
nation<00:36:08.559><c> in</c><00:36:09.199><c> this</c><00:36:09.559><c> man.</c>

00:36:10.420 --> 00:36:14.980
And<00:36:11.019><c> for</c><00:36:11.219><c> the</c><00:36:11.460><c> future</c><00:36:11.880><c> of</c><00:36:12.159><c> an</c><00:36:12.340><c> Israel</c><00:36:12.619><c> that</c><00:36:12.760><c> he</c><00:36:13.019><c> loved</c><00:36:13.340><c> so</c><00:36:14.000><c> much.</c>

00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.300
But<00:36:15.760><c> he</c><00:36:15.940><c> now</c><00:36:16.199><c> knows</c><00:36:16.559><c> that</c><00:36:16.900><c> his</c><00:36:17.719><c> job</c><00:36:18.039><c> as</c><00:36:18.280><c> a</c><00:36:18.500><c> messenger</c><00:36:18.840><c> between</c>

00:36:19.300 --> 00:36:23.079
God<00:36:19.760><c> and</c><00:36:20.179><c> the</c><00:36:20.400><c> king</c><00:36:20.840><c> was</c><00:36:21.880><c> finished.</c>

00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:27.159
Because<00:36:23.800><c> God</c><00:36:24.260><c> had</c><00:36:24.619><c> finished</c><00:36:25.159><c> with</c><00:36:25.940><c> the</c><00:36:26.199><c> king.</c>

00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:31.900
And<00:36:27.920><c> I</c><00:36:29.039><c> don't</c><00:36:29.400><c> think</c><00:36:29.820><c> Samuel</c><00:36:30.179><c> went</c><00:36:30.460><c> home</c><00:36:30.800><c> with</c><00:36:31.019><c> anything</c><00:36:31.400><c> other</c><00:36:31.780><c> than</c>

00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:40.199
Then,<00:36:38.219><c> have</c><00:36:38.360><c> you</c><00:36:38.500><c> seen</c><00:36:38.679><c> how</c><00:36:38.880><c> the</c><00:36:39.019><c> chapter</c><00:36:39.280><c> finishes?</c>

00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:45.559
Samuel<00:36:43.900><c> mourned</c><00:36:44.500><c> for</c><00:36:44.800><c> Saul.</c>

00:36:46.699 --> 00:36:48.400
That's<00:36:47.300><c> right.</c>

00:36:49.260 --> 00:36:53.719
You<00:36:49.280><c> see,</c><00:36:49.539><c> Saul</c><00:36:49.679><c> is</c><00:36:49.980><c> dead,</c><00:36:52.380><c> even</c><00:36:52.559><c> while</c><00:36:52.719><c> he</c><00:36:52.880><c> lives.</c>
