00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:15.800
the<00:03:12.080><c> condition</c><00:03:12.479><c> of</c><00:03:12.780><c> David,</c><00:03:13.860><c> a</c><00:03:13.979><c> man</c><00:03:14.340><c> stricken</c><00:03:14.719><c> in</c><00:03:14.979><c> years,</c><00:03:15.620><c> a</c>

bedridden,<00:03:18.460><c> it</c><00:03:18.639><c> would</c><00:03:18.879><c> seem.</c>

00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:24.979
As<00:03:20.900><c> I</c><00:03:21.099><c> mentioned</c><00:03:21.319><c> before,</c><00:03:22.740><c> he</c><00:03:22.740><c> was</c><00:03:22.919><c> only</c><00:03:23.280><c> 70</c><00:03:23.759><c> years</c><00:03:24.219><c> of</c><00:03:24.400><c> age,</c>

00:03:28.259 --> 00:03:30.680
it<00:03:28.460><c> seems</c><00:03:28.860><c> that</c><00:03:29.099><c> he</c><00:03:29.180><c> was</c><00:03:29.439><c> so</c><00:03:29.580><c> much</c><00:03:29.740><c> older.</c>

00:03:31.219 --> 00:03:35.439

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.939

00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:19.259
And<00:10:17.879><c> it's</c><00:10:18.080><c> not</c><00:10:18.220><c> expected.</c>

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.720
If<00:10:19.740><c> you</c><00:10:19.899><c> ask</c><00:10:20.100><c> someone</c><00:10:20.860><c> out</c><00:10:21.840><c> of</c><00:10:21.919><c> the</c><00:10:22.059><c> blue</c><00:10:22.200><c> and</c><00:10:22.419><c> say</c><00:10:22.559><c> to</c><00:10:22.639><c> them,</c>

00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.039
what<00:10:22.840><c> is</c><00:10:23.019><c> the</c><00:10:23.240><c> dominant</c><00:10:23.659><c> characteristic</c><00:10:24.399><c> of</c><00:10:25.080><c> David?</c>

00:10:26.179 --> 00:10:28.059
It's<00:10:26.440><c> unlikely</c><00:10:26.779><c> they</c><00:10:26.960><c> would</c><00:10:27.159><c> probably</c><00:10:27.460><c> come</c><00:10:27.679><c> up</c><00:10:27.779><c> with</c><00:10:27.879><c> the</c>

00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.440
But<00:10:28.919><c> I</c><00:10:29.200><c> believe</c><00:10:29.379><c> it's</c><00:10:29.659><c> there</c><00:10:29.799><c> to</c><00:10:30.000><c> be</c><00:10:30.240><c> seen.</c>

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:33.220
He<00:10:31.019><c> was</c><00:10:31.240><c> a</c><00:10:31.519><c> humble</c><00:10:31.919><c> man</c><00:10:32.299><c> in</c><00:10:32.559><c> all</c><00:10:32.700><c> his</c><00:10:32.919><c> ways.</c>

00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:34.779
That's<00:10:33.779><c> what</c><00:10:33.899><c> made</c><00:10:34.000><c> him</c><00:10:34.159><c> a</c><00:10:34.299><c> great</c><00:10:34.460><c> leader.</c>

00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:42.120
This<00:10:38.879><c> humility</c><00:10:39.399><c> was</c><00:10:39.860><c> pervasive</c><00:10:40.399><c> in</c><00:10:40.559><c> the</c><00:10:40.799><c> character</c><00:10:41.059><c> of</c><00:10:41.320><c> David.</c>

00:10:42.419 --> 00:10:44.899
And<00:10:42.679><c> it's</c><00:10:42.860><c> an</c><00:10:43.080><c> essential</c><00:10:43.580><c> characteristic</c><00:10:44.139><c> for</c><00:10:44.419><c> us,</c><00:10:44.779><c> brethren</c>

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.440
And<00:10:46.480><c> I</c><00:10:46.620><c> keep</c><00:10:46.820><c> on</c><00:10:47.080><c> harping</c><00:10:47.320><c> on</c><00:10:47.500><c> about</c><00:10:47.740><c> it</c><00:10:47.919><c> because</c><00:10:48.320><c> pride</c><00:10:48.860><c> is</c><00:10:49.360><c> an</c>

00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.419
Peter<00:10:51.899><c> says,</c><00:10:52.919><c> likewise</c><00:10:53.279><c> you</c><00:10:53.559><c> younger,</c><00:10:54.779><c> submit</c><00:10:54.940><c> yourselves</c>

00:10:56.820 --> 00:11:00.360
Yea,<00:10:56.980><c> all</c><00:10:57.179><c> of</c><00:10:57.279><c> you</c><00:10:57.360><c> be</c><00:10:57.539><c> subject</c><00:10:57.879><c> one</c><00:10:58.139><c> to</c><00:10:58.279><c> another</c><00:10:58.460><c> and</c><00:10:58.820><c> be</c><00:10:59.220><c> clothed</c><00:10:59.620><c> with</c><00:10:59.820><c> humility.</c>

00:11:00.779 --> 00:11:03.940
For<00:11:00.940><c> God</c><00:11:01.220><c> resists</c><00:11:01.759><c> the</c><00:11:02.019><c> proud</c><00:11:02.220><c> and</c><00:11:02.639><c> gives</c><00:11:02.899><c> grace</c><00:11:03.320><c> to</c><00:11:03.500><c> the</c><00:11:03.659><c> humble.</c>

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.519
Isn't<00:11:10.440><c> that</c><00:11:10.580><c> the</c><00:11:10.720><c> message</c><00:11:10.940><c> for</c><00:11:11.159><c> Adonijah?</c>

00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.279
That<00:11:11.899><c> he</c><00:11:12.139><c> will</c><00:11:12.399><c> exalt</c><00:11:12.779><c> you.</c>

And<00:11:13.740><c> whenever</c><00:11:13.919><c> we</c><00:11:14.159><c> want</c><00:11:14.259><c> to</c><00:11:14.519><c> exalt</c><00:11:14.779><c> ourselves</c><00:11:15.480><c> and</c><00:11:16.460><c> establish</c><00:11:17.039><c> ourselves,</c>

For<00:15:02.120><c> I</c><00:15:02.419><c> give</c><00:15:02.600><c> you</c><00:15:02.799><c> good</c><00:15:03.080><c> doctrine,</c><00:15:03.720><c> forsake</c><00:15:04.019><c> ye</c><00:15:04.179><c> not</c><00:15:04.340><c> my</c><00:15:04.639><c> law.</c>

00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:08.019
For<00:15:05.360><c> I</c><00:15:05.740><c> was</c><00:15:06.039><c> my</c><00:15:06.500><c> father's</c><00:15:07.279><c> son,</c>

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:11.259
tender<00:15:08.879><c> and</c><00:15:09.220><c> only</c><00:15:09.460><c> beloved</c><00:15:09.840><c> in</c><00:15:10.080><c> the</c><00:15:10.299><c> sight</c><00:15:10.460><c> of</c><00:15:10.740><c> my</c><00:15:10.940><c> mother.</c>

00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:13.940
He<00:15:11.899><c> taught</c><00:15:12.179><c> me</c><00:15:12.500><c> also</c><00:15:12.879><c> and</c><00:15:13.120><c> said</c><00:15:13.240><c> unto</c><00:15:13.440><c> me,</c>

00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:16.159
let<00:15:14.279><c> thine</c><00:15:14.600><c> heart</c><00:15:14.840><c> retain</c><00:15:15.340><c> my</c><00:15:15.700><c> words,</c>

00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:18.320
keep<00:15:16.679><c> my</c><00:15:17.019><c> commandments</c><00:15:17.559><c> and</c><00:15:18.080><c> live.</c>

00:15:18.820 --> 00:15:20.860
Solomon<00:15:19.220><c> makes</c><00:15:19.659><c> a</c><00:15:19.940><c> strange</c><00:15:20.179><c> statement,</c><00:15:20.500><c> isn't</c><00:15:20.679><c> it?</c>

00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:22.559
I<00:15:21.220><c> was</c><00:15:21.399><c> my</c><00:15:21.679><c> father's</c><00:15:22.279><c> son.</c>

00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.019
Pretty<00:15:22.899><c> much</c><00:15:23.100><c> redundant.</c>

00:15:24.419 --> 00:15:25.460
What<00:15:24.539><c> is</c><00:15:24.659><c> he</c><00:15:24.860><c> telling</c><00:15:25.039><c> us?</c>

00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.460
I<00:15:25.899><c> think</c><00:15:26.019><c> he's</c><00:15:26.340><c> saying</c><00:15:26.460><c> I</c><00:15:26.840><c> was</c><00:15:27.039><c> a</c><00:15:27.299><c> special</c><00:15:27.620><c> son</c><00:15:27.879><c> to</c><00:15:28.059><c> my</c><00:15:28.259><c> father.</c>

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:30.940
He<00:15:29.080><c> treated</c><00:15:29.480><c> me</c><00:15:29.700><c> like</c><00:15:29.940><c> a</c><00:15:30.120><c> son.</c>

00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.399
Perhaps<00:15:31.340><c> the</c><00:15:31.600><c> other</c><00:15:31.820><c> sons</c><00:15:32.019><c> would</c><00:15:32.179><c> have</c><00:15:32.279><c> said</c><00:15:32.379><c> he</c><00:15:32.500><c> was</c><00:15:32.679><c> my</c><00:15:32.960><c> king</c>

00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:34.779
and<00:15:34.059><c> not</c><00:15:34.259><c> my</c><00:15:34.519><c> father.</c>

00:15:34.899 --> 00:15:36.919
Solomon<00:15:35.299><c> said</c><00:15:35.580><c> he</c><00:15:35.899><c> was</c><00:15:36.220><c> my</c><00:15:36.519><c> father.</c>

00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:38.379
And<00:15:37.360><c> he</c><00:15:37.679><c> instructed</c><00:15:38.019><c> me.</c>

00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:39.500
He<00:15:38.700><c> taught</c><00:15:38.960><c> me.</c>

00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:41.980
He<00:15:40.120><c> taught</c><00:15:40.419><c> me</c><00:15:40.600><c> to</c><00:15:40.779><c> my</c><00:15:41.039><c> heart.</c>

00:15:42.379 --> 00:15:43.559
Let<00:15:42.580><c> not</c><00:15:42.879><c> your</c><00:15:43.220><c> heart.</c>

00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:45.559
Let<00:15:43.919><c> your</c><00:15:44.159><c> heart</c><00:15:44.340><c> rather</c><00:15:44.600><c> retain</c><00:15:44.980><c> my</c><00:15:45.320><c> words</c>

00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.919
and<00:15:46.019><c> keep</c><00:15:46.279><c> my</c><00:15:46.580><c> commandments</c><00:15:47.080><c> and</c><00:15:47.720><c> live.</c>

00:15:48.179 --> 00:15:48.820
Get<00:15:48.419><c> wisdom.</c>

00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.740
Get<00:15:49.240><c> understanding.</c>

00:15:49.899 --> 00:15:50.500
Forget<00:15:50.100><c> it</c><00:15:50.340><c> not.</c>

00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:53.279
Neither<00:15:50.840><c> decline</c><00:15:51.379><c> from</c><00:15:51.620><c> the</c><00:15:51.820><c> words</c><00:15:52.019><c> of</c><00:15:52.259><c> my</c><00:15:52.480><c> mouth.</c>

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.580
And<00:15:53.539><c> so</c><00:15:53.720><c> this</c><00:15:54.139><c> whole</c><00:15:54.460><c> picture</c><00:15:54.779><c> we</c><00:15:54.940><c> get</c><00:15:55.019><c> of</c><00:15:55.240><c> wisdom</c>

00:15:55.580 --> 00:15:57.460
seems<00:15:55.960><c> to</c><00:15:56.139><c> have</c><00:15:56.240><c> come</c><00:15:56.340><c> from</c><00:15:56.519><c> David</c>

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:59.820
that<00:15:57.740><c> Solomon</c><00:15:58.059><c> then</c><00:15:58.340><c> talks</c><00:15:58.519><c> about</c><00:15:58.740><c> in</c><00:15:58.940><c> Proverbs</c><00:15:59.200><c> chapter</c><00:15:59.480><c> 4</c>

00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:01.139
as<00:16:00.059><c> well.</c>

00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.120
So<00:16:01.720><c> although</c><00:16:02.200><c> he</c><00:16:02.340><c> had</c><00:16:02.519><c> made</c><00:16:02.659><c> the</c><00:16:02.840><c> mistakes</c>

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:04.779
it<00:16:03.259><c> would</c><00:16:03.419><c> seem</c><00:16:03.539><c> with</c><00:16:03.720><c> the</c><00:16:03.860><c> first</c><00:16:04.100><c> three</c><00:16:04.360><c> sons,</c>

00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:07.879
he<00:16:05.480><c> doesn't</c><00:16:05.740><c> make</c><00:16:05.919><c> the</c><00:16:06.159><c> same</c><00:16:06.320><c> mistake</c><00:16:06.720><c> with</c><00:16:06.980><c> Solomon.</c>

00:16:08.299 --> 00:16:11.700
Now,<00:16:09.360><c> we</c><00:16:09.419><c> can</c><00:16:09.700><c> see</c><00:16:09.899><c> in</c><00:16:10.159><c> 2</c><00:16:10.399><c> Kings</c><00:16:10.720><c> or</c><00:16:10.879><c> rather</c><00:16:11.179><c> 1</c><00:16:11.419><c> Kings</c>

00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:14.620
why<00:16:12.340><c> Adonijah</c><00:16:12.840><c> must</c><00:16:13.100><c> have</c><00:16:13.240><c> been</c><00:16:13.360><c> quite</c><00:16:13.639><c> confident.</c>

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:17.000
He<00:16:15.740><c> follows</c><00:16:16.139><c> the</c><00:16:16.299><c> way</c><00:16:16.519><c> of</c><00:16:16.700><c> Absalom</c>

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.720
but<00:16:17.480><c> he</c><00:16:17.779><c> thinks</c><00:16:17.960><c> he</c><00:16:18.120><c> will</c><00:16:18.320><c> succeed</c><00:16:18.700><c> where</c><00:16:18.919><c> Absalom</c><00:16:19.379><c> failed.</c>

00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:20.179
Why?

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:23.879
Because<00:16:20.700><c> he</c><00:16:20.879><c> has</c><00:16:21.120><c> the</c><00:16:21.440><c> support</c><00:16:21.840><c> of</c><00:16:22.259><c> not</c><00:16:22.399><c> just</c><00:16:22.639><c> Ahithophel</c>

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.179
who<00:16:24.480><c> we</c><00:16:25.019><c> know</c><00:16:25.460><c> Absalom</c><00:16:26.179><c> had</c><00:16:26.340><c> the</c><00:16:26.580><c> support</c><00:16:26.820><c> of,</c>

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:32.879
but<00:16:27.519><c> he</c><00:16:27.600><c> has</c><00:16:27.779><c> the</c><00:16:28.080><c> support</c><00:16:28.639><c> of</c><00:16:30.059><c> Joab</c><00:16:30.700><c> and</c><00:16:31.200><c> Abiah</c><00:16:31.720><c> the</c><00:16:31.860><c> priest.</c>

00:16:33.299 --> 00:16:35.860
And<00:16:33.860><c> you</c><00:16:34.019><c> think,</c><00:16:34.279><c> well,</c><00:16:34.519><c> why</c><00:16:34.740><c> did</c><00:16:34.879><c> these</c><00:16:35.220><c> two</c><00:16:35.460><c> men,</c>

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:39.820
these<00:16:36.620><c> two</c><00:16:36.960><c> men</c><00:16:37.179><c> who</c><00:16:37.379><c> had</c><00:16:37.700><c> stayed</c><00:16:37.899><c> with</c><00:16:38.139><c> David</c><00:16:38.440><c> all</c><00:16:39.000><c> his</c><00:16:39.320><c> life</c>

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:41.580
through<00:16:40.299><c> bad</c><00:16:40.639><c> times</c><00:16:40.980><c> and</c><00:16:41.299><c> good,</c>

00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:44.679
why<00:16:42.279><c> now</c><00:16:42.860><c> do</c><00:16:43.120><c> they</c><00:16:43.399><c> desert</c><00:16:43.700><c> David?</c>

00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.860
And<00:16:45.340><c> it's</c><00:16:45.519><c> not</c><00:16:45.960><c> an</c><00:16:46.240><c> easy</c><00:16:46.539><c> one</c><00:16:46.740><c> to</c><00:16:46.919><c> answer.</c>

00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.919
I<00:16:48.200><c> guess</c><00:16:48.519><c> when</c><00:16:48.700><c> it</c><00:16:48.820><c> comes</c><00:16:49.159><c> to</c><00:16:49.440><c> Abiah,</c>

00:16:50.139 --> 00:16:54.679
perhaps<00:16:51.100><c> there</c><00:16:51.360><c> are</c><00:16:52.259><c> some</c><00:16:52.679><c> ideas</c><00:16:53.240><c> we</c><00:16:53.440><c> can</c><00:16:53.600><c> put</c><00:16:53.820><c> forward.</c>

00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:58.360
Well,<00:16:55.419><c> we</c><00:16:55.559><c> know</c><00:16:55.720><c> that</c><00:16:55.899><c> Abiah</c><00:16:56.580><c> was</c><00:16:57.279><c> and</c><00:16:57.539><c> probably</c><00:16:57.879><c> understood</c>

00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:59.440
that<00:16:58.500><c> there</c><00:16:58.639><c> was</c><00:16:58.840><c> a</c><00:16:59.059><c> prophecy</c>

00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.659
that<00:17:00.539><c> seemed</c><00:17:00.820><c> to</c><00:17:01.139><c> favour</c><00:17:01.360><c> the</c><00:17:01.639><c> sons</c><00:17:01.899><c> of</c><00:17:02.200><c> Zadok.</c>

00:17:02.659 --> 00:17:06.319
And<00:17:03.559><c> David</c><00:17:03.820><c> had</c><00:17:04.059><c> begun</c><00:17:04.359><c> to</c><00:17:04.680><c> include</c><00:17:04.960><c> Zadok</c><00:17:05.380><c> more</c><00:17:05.779><c> and</c><00:17:06.000><c> more</c>

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.759
in<00:17:06.779><c> all</c><00:17:07.019><c> the</c><00:17:07.279><c> priestly</c><00:17:07.619><c> duties</c><00:17:07.819><c> that</c><00:17:08.000><c> he</c><00:17:08.079><c> was</c><00:17:08.319><c> establishing.</c>

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:10.759
And<00:17:09.279><c> perhaps</c><00:17:09.480><c> from</c><00:17:09.720><c> Abiah's</c><00:17:10.119><c> point</c><00:17:10.359><c> of</c><00:17:10.559><c> view,</c>

00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.700
he<00:17:11.119><c> saw</c><00:17:11.480><c> David</c><00:17:12.200><c> and</c><00:17:13.299><c> the</c><00:17:13.759><c> supporters</c><00:17:14.140><c> of</c><00:17:14.380><c> David</c>

00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:16.359
as<00:17:15.000><c> not</c><00:17:15.220><c> supporting</c><00:17:15.660><c> his</c><00:17:15.940><c> family.</c>

Other<00:18:13.920><c> than</c><00:18:14.160><c> perhaps,</c>

00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:18.819

All<00:20:48.279><c> of</c><00:20:48.400><c> us,</c><00:20:48.619><c> I</c><00:20:48.759><c> guess,</c><00:20:49.000><c> need</c><00:20:49.240><c> friends</c><00:20:49.640><c> like</c><00:20:50.000><c> Nathan.</c>

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.660
Those<00:20:51.599><c> who</c><00:20:52.039><c> not</c><00:20:52.259><c> only</c><00:20:52.539><c> are</c><00:20:52.759><c> prepared</c><00:20:52.980><c> to</c><00:20:53.140><c> be</c><00:20:53.359><c> friends</c>

00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:55.359
when<00:20:53.819><c> we</c><00:20:53.940><c> have</c><00:20:54.240><c> problems</c><00:20:54.660><c> and</c><00:20:54.960><c> crises,</c>

00:20:57.839 --> 00:20:59.500
You<00:20:57.920><c> see,</c><00:20:58.059><c> here</c><00:20:58.140><c> was</c><00:20:58.319><c> Nathan</c><00:20:58.619><c> sitting</c><00:20:58.859><c> in</c><00:20:59.099><c> the</c><00:20:59.240><c> sideline,</c>

00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:00.599

00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:01.960
He<00:21:00.920><c> could</c><00:21:01.099><c> have</c><00:21:01.299><c> stepped</c><00:21:01.480><c> back</c><00:21:01.720><c> and</c><00:21:01.839><c> said,</c>

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.839

00:21:02.859 --> 00:21:04.460
I'm<00:21:02.980><c> sure</c><00:21:03.140><c> David</c><00:21:03.400><c> has</c><00:21:03.579><c> a</c><00:21:03.720><c> plan.</c>

00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.140
But<00:21:04.680><c> he</c><00:21:04.819><c> knew</c><00:21:04.920><c> that</c><00:21:05.160><c> David</c><00:21:05.319><c> was</c><00:21:05.539><c> a</c><00:21:05.740><c> bedridden</c><00:21:06.140><c> man,</c>

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:11.200
And<00:21:09.839><c> so</c><00:21:10.019><c> at</c><00:21:10.119><c> this</c><00:21:10.319><c> time</c><00:21:10.480><c> of</c><00:21:10.740><c> desperate</c><00:21:11.039><c> need,</c>

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:13.279

00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.579
I<00:21:16.640><c> guess</c><00:21:16.859><c> you</c><00:21:17.039><c> all</c><00:21:17.160><c> remember</c><00:21:17.400><c> that</c><00:21:17.900><c> proverb</c><00:21:18.200><c> of</c><00:21:19.220><c> Solomon,</c>

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:24.940
And<00:21:22.900><c> in</c><00:21:23.079><c> Nathan,</c><00:21:23.579><c> as</c><00:21:23.720><c> in</c><00:21:23.880><c> Jonathan,</c>

00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:27.500
He<00:21:26.299><c> had</c><00:21:26.539><c> started</c><00:21:26.740><c> as</c><00:21:26.920><c> a</c><00:21:27.140><c> prophet,</c>

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:32.980
Now<00:21:30.759><c> he</c><00:21:30.880><c> was</c><00:21:31.079><c> a</c><00:21:31.299><c> friend</c><00:21:31.460><c> helping</c><00:21:31.859><c> to</c><00:21:32.160><c> make</c><00:21:32.440><c> sure</c>

00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:35.460
that<00:21:33.460><c> the</c><00:21:33.660><c> message</c><00:21:33.960><c> became</c><00:21:34.339><c> a</c><00:21:34.579><c> reality.</c>

00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:39.299
And<00:21:36.420><c> so</c><00:21:36.559><c> there</c><00:21:36.740><c> is</c><00:21:36.920><c> this</c><00:21:37.299><c> plan</c><00:21:37.759><c> to</c><00:21:38.019><c> stop</c><00:21:38.240><c> the</c><00:21:38.420><c> rebellion.</c>

00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:46.960
He<00:21:46.559><c> says,</c>

00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:09.180
We<00:22:06.059><c> have</c><00:22:06.299><c> to</c><00:22:06.539><c> try</c><00:22:06.740><c> and</c><00:22:07.299><c> stir</c><00:22:07.720><c> up</c><00:22:08.019><c> this</c><00:22:08.359><c> man</c><00:22:08.579><c> of</c><00:22:08.839><c> zeal.</c>

00:22:09.619 --> 00:22:13.099
Is<00:22:09.819><c> there</c><00:22:09.960><c> just</c><00:22:10.319><c> one</c><00:22:10.779><c> last</c><00:22:11.240><c> bit</c><00:22:11.420><c> of</c><00:22:11.680><c> zeal</c><00:22:12.140><c> left</c><00:22:12.480><c> in</c><00:22:12.759><c> David</c>

00:22:13.099 --> 00:22:17.079
that<00:22:13.400><c> we</c><00:22:13.599><c> can</c><00:22:13.819><c> capture</c><00:22:14.200><c> and</c><00:22:14.640><c> use</c><00:22:15.319><c> to</c><00:22:15.799><c> set</c><00:22:15.920><c> up</c><00:22:16.059><c> the</c><00:22:16.259><c> kingdom?</c>

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:20.640
And<00:22:18.079><c> so</c><00:22:18.339><c> it</c><00:22:18.460><c> is</c><00:22:18.599><c> that</c><00:22:18.799><c> this</c><00:22:19.079><c> plan</c><00:22:19.359><c> is</c><00:22:19.519><c> put</c><00:22:19.680><c> in</c><00:22:19.920><c> place,</c>

00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:23.519
that<00:22:21.059><c> Bathsheba</c><00:22:21.539><c> would</c><00:22:21.720><c> go</c><00:22:22.000><c> and</c><00:22:22.240><c> talk</c><00:22:22.619><c> to</c><00:22:23.079><c> David</c>

00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:25.400
about<00:22:24.059><c> the</c><00:22:24.339><c> promise</c><00:22:24.579><c> that</c><00:22:24.799><c> he</c><00:22:24.960><c> had</c><00:22:25.160><c> made</c>

00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:26.539
about<00:22:25.680><c> Solomon</c><00:22:26.039><c> being</c><00:22:26.299><c> king.</c>

00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:27.640
And<00:22:26.880><c> while</c><00:22:27.119><c> she's</c><00:22:27.380><c> talking,</c>

00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:28.660
look<00:22:27.920><c> at</c><00:22:27.980><c> the</c><00:22:28.019><c> whole</c><00:22:28.220><c> thing</c><00:22:28.420><c> worked</c><00:22:28.579><c> out.</c>

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:30.700
Everybody's<00:22:29.240><c> always</c><00:22:29.519><c> working</c><00:22:29.740><c> out</c><00:22:30.000><c> stories</c><00:22:30.299><c> for</c><00:22:30.480><c> David.</c>

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.140
It's<00:22:31.319><c> one</c><00:22:31.440><c> of</c><00:22:31.599><c> the</c><00:22:32.079><c> lovely</c><00:22:32.440><c> themes</c><00:22:32.720><c> to</c><00:22:32.900><c> look</c><00:22:33.059><c> at.</c>

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:34.759
Remember,<00:22:33.460><c> Nathan</c><00:22:33.759><c> has</c><00:22:33.940><c> a</c><00:22:34.119><c> story</c><00:22:34.259><c> for</c><00:22:34.460><c> David.</c>

00:22:35.140 --> 00:22:36.640
Joab<00:22:35.279><c> had</c><00:22:35.440><c> someone</c><00:22:35.700><c> else</c><00:22:35.940><c> go</c><00:22:36.079><c> and</c><00:22:36.240><c> tell</c><00:22:36.339><c> a</c><00:22:36.500><c> story.</c>

00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:37.720
They've<00:22:36.960><c> always</c><00:22:37.119><c> got</c><00:22:37.359><c> plans.</c>

00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:38.619
They're<00:22:37.920><c> working</c><00:22:38.140><c> with</c><00:22:38.319><c> David.</c>

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.720
And<00:22:38.980><c> it's</c><00:22:39.200><c> the</c><00:22:39.279><c> same</c><00:22:39.400><c> here.</c>

00:22:40.140 --> 00:22:42.039
As<00:22:40.519><c> she's</c><00:22:40.859><c> talking,</c><00:22:41.079><c> Nathan</c><00:22:41.400><c> will</c><00:22:41.579><c> come</c><00:22:41.759><c> in.</c>

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:44.400
It's<00:22:42.720><c> all</c><00:22:42.960><c> planned,</c><00:22:43.279><c> but</c><00:22:43.460><c> from</c><00:22:43.680><c> David's</c><00:22:44.099><c> perspective,</c>

00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:45.339
it's<00:22:44.700><c> happening</c><00:22:44.900><c> naturally.</c>

00:22:45.339 --> 00:22:47.940
And<00:22:45.940><c> so</c><00:22:46.119><c> there</c><00:22:46.319><c> he</c><00:22:46.519><c> is</c><00:22:46.799><c> talking</c><00:22:47.220><c> to</c><00:22:47.440><c> Bathsheba,</c>

00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:51.259
and<00:22:48.319><c> Nathan</c><00:22:48.579><c> comes</c><00:22:48.859><c> rushing</c><00:22:49.140><c> in</c><00:22:49.539><c> with</c><00:22:49.759><c> the</c><00:22:49.940><c> same</c><00:22:50.140><c> message.</c>

00:22:51.380 --> 00:22:52.920
They're<00:22:51.599><c> trying</c><00:22:51.740><c> to</c><00:22:51.920><c> stir</c><00:22:52.119><c> up</c><00:22:52.279><c> the</c><00:22:52.440><c> old</c><00:22:52.680><c> man.</c>

00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:53.940
You<00:22:53.019><c> can</c><00:22:53.259><c> see</c><00:22:53.400><c> it.</c>

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:57.000
They're<00:22:54.319><c> trying</c><00:22:54.420><c> to</c><00:22:54.559><c> get</c><00:22:54.680><c> the</c><00:22:54.920><c> last</c><00:22:55.220><c> bit</c><00:22:55.339><c> of</c><00:22:55.559><c> energy</c><00:22:55.960><c> out</c><00:22:56.380><c> of</c><00:22:56.619><c> David</c>

00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.299
as<00:22:57.660><c> they</c><00:22:57.940><c> speak</c><00:22:58.180><c> to</c><00:22:58.359><c> him</c><00:22:58.859><c> at</c><00:22:59.099><c> this</c><00:22:59.380><c> time.</c>

00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:05.240
Now,<00:23:01.259><c> David</c><00:23:01.740><c> previously</c><00:23:02.480><c> had</c><00:23:03.359><c> not</c><00:23:03.920><c> openly</c><00:23:04.420><c> set</c><00:23:04.720><c> up</c><00:23:04.960><c> Solomon</c>

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:06.160
as<00:23:05.480><c> king.</c>

00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:07.700
You<00:23:06.740><c> won't</c><00:23:06.940><c> say</c><00:23:07.180><c> why.</c>

00:23:08.099 --> 00:23:09.920
Why<00:23:08.319><c> did</c><00:23:08.480><c> he</c><00:23:08.680><c> allow</c><00:23:08.980><c> it</c><00:23:09.140><c> to</c><00:23:09.259><c> get</c><00:23:09.339><c> to</c><00:23:09.539><c> this</c><00:23:09.740><c> stage?</c>

00:23:10.059 --> 00:23:11.759
Perhaps<00:23:10.339><c> it</c><00:23:10.539><c> was</c><00:23:10.700><c> because</c><00:23:11.019><c> he</c><00:23:11.180><c> was</c><00:23:11.400><c> bedridden</c>

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:13.440
and<00:23:12.079><c> didn't</c><00:23:12.359><c> have</c><00:23:12.539><c> the</c><00:23:12.740><c> energy</c><00:23:12.960><c> to</c><00:23:13.140><c> do</c><00:23:13.240><c> it.</c>

00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:14.880
There's<00:23:14.059><c> another</c><00:23:14.279><c> little</c><00:23:14.539><c> suggestion</c>

00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:16.000
I'll<00:23:15.059><c> leave</c><00:23:15.259><c> with</c><00:23:15.500><c> you.</c>

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.220
If<00:23:16.279><c> you</c><00:23:16.420><c> have</c><00:23:16.559><c> time,</c><00:23:16.940><c> go</c><00:23:16.940><c> to</c><00:23:17.099><c> 2</c><00:23:17.319><c> Samuel</c><00:23:17.619><c> 7,</c><00:23:18.160><c> verse</c><00:23:18.380><c> 12.</c>

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:21.079
And<00:23:19.720><c> I'm</c><00:23:19.900><c> just</c><00:23:20.000><c> going</c><00:23:20.140><c> to</c><00:23:20.259><c> paraphrase</c><00:23:20.680><c> it.</c>

00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:23.539
It's<00:23:21.559><c> the</c><00:23:21.880><c> covenant</c><00:23:22.259><c> made</c><00:23:22.579><c> to</c><00:23:22.779><c> David</c><00:23:23.000><c> where</c><00:23:23.240><c> it</c><00:23:23.359><c> says,</c>

00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:25.579
and<00:23:23.819><c> when</c><00:23:24.220><c> you</c><00:23:24.619><c> have</c><00:23:24.880><c> fallen</c><00:23:25.140><c> asleep,</c>

00:23:25.700 --> 00:23:28.759
I<00:23:26.099><c> will</c><00:23:26.420><c> set</c><00:23:26.660><c> up</c><00:23:27.440><c> a</c><00:23:27.700><c> king</c><00:23:27.859><c> to</c><00:23:28.079><c> sit</c><00:23:28.140><c> on</c><00:23:28.279><c> your</c><00:23:28.519><c> throne.</c>

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:31.519
And<00:23:29.220><c> so</c><00:23:29.339><c> it</c><00:23:29.480><c> may</c><00:23:29.619><c> be</c><00:23:29.740><c> that</c><00:23:29.880><c> David</c><00:23:30.160><c> felt</c><00:23:30.519><c> that</c><00:23:30.900><c> he</c><00:23:31.039><c> would</c><00:23:31.220><c> never</c>

00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:32.519
be<00:23:32.019><c> alive</c>

00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.619
when<00:23:32.920><c> the</c><00:23:33.099><c> king</c><00:23:33.220><c> was</c><00:23:33.400><c> put</c><00:23:33.519><c> on</c><00:23:33.640><c> his</c><00:23:33.859><c> throne.</c>

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:37.299
And<00:23:35.220><c> perhaps</c><00:23:35.400><c> that's</c><00:23:35.700><c> why</c><00:23:35.940><c> he</c><00:23:36.119><c> had</c><00:23:36.259><c> never</c><00:23:36.740><c> considered</c>

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:42.079
the<00:23:37.599><c> idea</c><00:23:37.940><c> of</c><00:23:38.160><c> a</c><00:23:38.339><c> co</c><00:23:38.599><c>-regent,</c><00:23:39.500><c> a</c><00:23:39.619><c> king</c><00:23:39.900><c> together</c><00:23:40.339><c> with</c><00:23:40.579><c> him</c><00:23:40.920><c> as</c><00:23:41.279><c> king.</c>

00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:43.420
Just<00:23:42.359><c> an</c><00:23:42.599><c> idea</c><00:23:42.799><c> to</c><00:23:43.000><c> think</c><00:23:43.200><c> of.</c>

00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:45.220
But<00:23:43.839><c> look</c><00:23:44.059><c> at</c><00:23:44.160><c> this</c><00:23:44.279><c> in</c><00:23:44.380><c> verse</c><00:23:44.559><c> 29.</c>

00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:46.539
He's<00:23:45.779><c> heard</c><00:23:45.980><c> the</c><00:23:46.180><c> message.</c>

00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:48.880
The<00:23:46.960><c> whole</c><00:23:47.559><c> act</c><00:23:47.819><c> has</c><00:23:48.000><c> been</c><00:23:48.220><c> played</c><00:23:48.460><c> before</c><00:23:48.779><c> him.</c>

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.059
And<00:23:49.099><c> look</c><00:23:49.220><c> at</c><00:23:49.319><c> the</c><00:23:49.480><c> response</c><00:23:49.759><c> of</c><00:23:50.000><c> David.</c>

00:23:51.339 --> 00:23:52.740
Call<00:23:51.460><c> me</c><00:23:51.619><c> Bathsheba.</c>

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.299
She<00:23:53.119><c> came</c><00:23:53.339><c> into</c><00:23:53.519><c> the</c><00:23:53.700><c> king's</c><00:23:54.059><c> presence</c>

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:56.059
and<00:23:54.500><c> stood</c><00:23:54.640><c> before</c><00:23:54.900><c> the</c><00:23:55.099><c> king.</c>

00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:58.460
And<00:23:56.460><c> the</c><00:23:56.599><c> king</c><00:23:56.900><c> swear</c><00:23:57.440><c> and</c><00:23:58.259><c> said,</c>

00:23:58.859 --> 00:24:00.380

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:28.279
It's<00:24:26.160><c> marvelous</c><00:24:26.539><c> the</c><00:24:26.720><c> way</c><00:24:26.880><c> these</c><00:24:27.119><c> things</c><00:24:27.259><c> are</c><00:24:27.440><c> captured</c><00:24:27.720><c> for</c><00:24:27.960><c> us.</c>

This<00:25:00.279><c> enthusiasm,</c><00:25:01.140><c> this</c><00:25:01.200><c> passion</c><00:25:01.859><c> that</c><00:25:02.660><c> David</c><00:25:02.960><c> had.</c>

00:25:04.380 --> 00:25:05.759
And<00:25:04.380><c> this</c><00:25:04.599><c> is</c><00:25:04.980><c> what</c><00:25:05.140><c> Jesus...</c>

We<00:25:07.720><c> often...</c>

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:10.900
We<00:25:08.720><c> don't</c><00:25:09.000><c> see</c><00:25:09.259><c> the</c><00:25:09.500><c> connection</c><00:25:09.779><c> when</c><00:25:09.940><c> he</c><00:25:10.099><c> spoke</c><00:25:10.299><c> to</c><00:25:10.480><c> the</c><00:25:10.619><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:25:15.259 --> 00:25:16.839
I<00:25:15.319><c> would</c><00:25:15.559><c> rather</c><00:25:15.759><c> that</c><00:25:15.960><c> you</c><00:25:16.099><c> were</c><00:25:16.220><c> hot</c><00:25:16.400><c> or</c><00:25:16.640><c> cold.</c>

00:25:16.859 --> 00:25:17.799
And<00:25:16.980><c> I've</c><00:25:17.140><c> had</c><00:25:17.220><c> many...</c>

00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:19.720

Does<00:25:20.420><c> Jesus</c><00:25:20.720><c> not</c><00:25:21.000><c> care</c><00:25:21.359><c> if</c><00:25:21.680><c> we're</c><00:25:21.880><c> cold</c><00:25:22.180><c> or</c><00:25:22.440><c> hot?</c>

00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:25.240
Right?

00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:26.759
But<00:25:25.519><c> you</c><00:25:26.079><c> read</c><00:25:26.259><c> a</c><00:25:26.339><c> bit</c><00:25:26.460><c> further</c><00:25:26.680><c> on.</c>

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.119
What<00:25:28.180><c> does</c><00:25:28.359><c> he</c><00:25:28.460><c> say</c><00:25:28.779><c> in</c><00:25:29.039><c> Revelation</c><00:25:29.519><c> 3?</c>
