00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:20.880
And<00:26:16.519><c> that's</c><00:26:17.299><c> the</c><00:26:17.599><c> approach</c><00:26:18.000><c> of</c><00:26:18.500><c> Nathan.</c><00:26:19.240><c> He</c><00:26:19.460><c> achieved</c><00:26:19.920><c> a</c><00:26:20.539><c> two</c>

00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.599
And<00:26:23.839><c> we</c><00:26:23.960><c> look</c><00:26:24.059><c> at</c><00:26:24.240><c> the</c><00:26:24.559><c> response</c><00:26:24.940><c> of</c><00:26:25.200><c> Bathsheba</c><00:26:25.680><c> in</c><00:26:25.980><c> verse</c><00:26:26.200><c> 16</c>

00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:28.480

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:36.900
Verse<00:26:30.039><c> 16</c><00:26:30.640><c> says,</c><00:26:32.339><c> and</c><00:26:32.339><c> Bathsheba</c><00:26:33.640><c> bowed</c><00:26:35.039><c> and</c><00:26:35.559><c> did</c><00:26:36.059><c> obeisance</c>

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:38.119
unto<00:26:37.519><c> the</c><00:26:37.819><c> king.</c>

00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:41.759
We<00:26:38.759><c> notice</c><00:26:38.940><c> again</c><00:26:39.200><c> that's</c><00:26:39.500><c> repeated</c><00:26:39.759><c> for</c><00:26:39.940><c> us</c><00:26:40.059><c> in</c><00:26:40.259><c> verse</c><00:26:40.460><c> 31.</c>

00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.660
Bathsheba<00:26:42.480><c> bowed</c><00:26:42.880><c> with</c><00:26:43.000><c> her</c><00:26:43.200><c> face</c><00:26:43.359><c> to</c><00:26:43.539><c> the</c><00:26:43.640><c> earth</c><00:26:43.740><c> and</c><00:26:43.920><c> did</c><00:26:44.119><c> reverence</c><00:26:44.440><c> to</c>

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:46.960
the<00:26:44.819><c> king</c><00:26:45.000><c> and</c><00:26:45.259><c> said,</c><00:26:45.519><c> let</c><00:26:45.579><c> my</c><00:26:45.819><c> lord</c><00:26:46.019><c> the</c><00:26:46.220><c> king</c><00:26:46.420><c> live</c><00:26:46.599><c> forever.</c>

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:52.420
So<00:26:47.440><c> this</c><00:26:47.599><c> was</c><00:26:48.059><c> an</c><00:26:48.460><c> aspect</c><00:26:48.920><c> of</c><00:26:50.039><c> the</c><00:26:50.839><c> respect</c><00:26:51.440><c> that</c><00:26:51.859><c> Bathsheba</c>

00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:00.519
It's<00:26:57.759><c> an</c><00:26:58.019><c> interesting</c><00:26:58.500><c> Hebrew</c><00:26:58.859><c> word,</c><00:26:59.279><c> the</c><00:26:59.420><c> word</c><00:26:59.579><c> for</c><00:26:59.839><c> obeisance,</c><00:27:00.420><c> the</c>

Hebrew<00:27:00.740><c> word</c><00:27:00.960><c> kodad.</c>

00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:05.519
The<00:27:03.660><c> theological</c><00:27:04.079><c> word</c><00:27:04.400><c> book</c><00:27:04.480><c> of</c><00:27:04.640><c> the</c><00:27:04.720><c> Old</c><00:27:04.900><c> Testament</c><00:27:05.279><c> says</c>

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:07.920
it<00:27:05.660><c> refers</c><00:27:06.019><c> to</c><00:27:06.240><c> the</c><00:27:06.400><c> bowing</c><00:27:06.660><c> of</c><00:27:06.859><c> one's</c><00:27:07.259><c> head,</c>

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:12.740
accompanying<00:27:08.880><c> and</c><00:27:09.920><c> emphasizing</c><00:27:10.799><c> the</c><00:27:11.400><c> obeisance.</c><00:27:12.339><c> Hence</c><00:27:12.579><c> it</c>

00:27:12.740 --> 00:27:15.299
has<00:27:12.940><c> a</c><00:27:13.180><c> very</c><00:27:13.500><c> restricted</c><00:27:14.180><c> use.</c>

00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:20.680
The<00:27:16.619><c> root</c><00:27:16.720><c> is</c><00:27:16.960><c> used</c><00:27:17.079><c> to</c><00:27:17.339><c> emphasize</c><00:27:18.279><c> devotion,</c><00:27:19.480><c> especially</c><00:27:20.059><c> at</c>

00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:21.519
crucial<00:27:21.099><c> times.</c>

00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:25.500
He<00:27:21.759><c> cites</c><00:27:21.960><c> the</c><00:27:22.180><c> example</c><00:27:22.640><c> of</c><00:27:23.000><c> Joseph</c><00:27:23.339><c> and</c><00:27:23.599><c> brothers</c><00:27:24.039><c> and</c><00:27:25.119><c> showed</c><00:27:25.299><c> how</c>

00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:26.779
it<00:27:25.619><c> was</c><00:27:25.779><c> pronounced.</c>

00:27:26.900 --> 00:27:29.920
The<00:27:27.079><c> respect</c><00:27:27.500><c> that</c><00:27:27.819><c> Saul</c><00:27:28.019><c> had</c><00:27:28.319><c> for</c><00:27:28.880><c> Samuel.</c>

00:27:30.380 --> 00:27:37.440
And<00:27:30.500><c> the</c><00:27:30.720><c> final</c><00:27:30.980><c> comment</c><00:27:31.220><c> is</c><00:27:32.579><c> a</c><00:27:33.019><c> word</c><00:27:33.279><c> that</c><00:27:35.039><c> expands</c><00:27:35.700><c> a</c><00:27:36.480><c> deepest</c><00:27:36.920><c> awe</c>

00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:38.700
and<00:27:38.140><c> reverence.</c>

00:27:38.900 --> 00:27:42.440
And<00:27:39.039><c> it</c><00:27:39.160><c> typifies</c><00:27:39.599><c> one's</c><00:27:40.200><c> attitude</c><00:27:40.579><c> toward</c><00:27:41.019><c> God</c><00:27:41.420><c> at</c><00:27:42.059><c> crucial</c>

00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:45.880
times,<00:27:42.779><c> for</c><00:27:43.059><c> example,</c><00:27:43.359><c> when</c><00:27:43.619><c> Eliezer's</c><00:27:44.279><c> prayer</c><00:27:44.640><c> is</c>

00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:47.079
miraculously<00:27:46.519><c> answered.</c>

00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:50.880
So<00:27:47.700><c> it</c><00:27:47.920><c> wasn't</c><00:27:48.259><c> just</c><00:27:48.799><c> a</c><00:27:49.220><c> physical</c><00:27:49.640><c> action</c><00:27:50.079><c> where</c><00:27:50.319><c> the</c><00:27:50.559><c> queen</c>

00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:53.819
would<00:27:51.220><c> come</c><00:27:51.420><c> in</c><00:27:51.579><c> and</c><00:27:51.720><c> do</c><00:27:51.900><c> obeisance</c><00:27:52.359><c> before</c><00:27:52.740><c> the</c><00:27:53.039><c> king.</c>

00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:58.960
The<00:27:54.059><c> word</c><00:27:54.380><c> means</c><00:27:54.720><c> that</c><00:27:55.160><c> in</c><00:27:55.400><c> her</c><00:27:55.759><c> heart</c><00:27:55.920><c> of</c><00:27:56.240><c> hearts,</c><00:27:58.180><c> her</c><00:27:58.440><c> king</c>

00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:01.180
was<00:27:59.359><c> also</c><00:27:59.880><c> her</c><00:28:00.259><c> lord.</c>

00:28:01.619 --> 00:28:03.839
And<00:28:01.839><c> hence</c><00:28:02.000><c> we</c><00:28:02.279><c> cite</c><00:28:02.500><c> the</c><00:28:02.700><c> words</c><00:28:02.839><c> of</c><00:28:03.099><c> Peter</c><00:28:03.279><c> here.</c>

00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:06.940
He<00:28:04.400><c> comments</c><00:28:04.640><c> on</c><00:28:04.819><c> that</c><00:28:05.000><c> beautiful</c><00:28:05.440><c> ornament</c><00:28:05.839><c> that</c><00:28:06.160><c> graces</c>

true<00:28:07.460><c> wives.</c>

00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:11.319
And<00:28:08.440><c> he</c><00:28:08.599><c> says,</c><00:28:09.420><c> our</c><00:28:09.460><c> wives</c><00:28:09.740><c> should</c><00:28:09.960><c> be</c><00:28:10.279><c> known</c><00:28:10.599><c> for</c><00:28:10.960><c> the</c><00:28:11.160><c> beauty</c>

00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:12.460
that<00:28:11.559><c> comes</c><00:28:11.880><c> from</c><00:28:12.240><c> within.</c>

00:28:12.460 --> 00:28:17.039
And<00:28:12.559><c> it's</c><00:28:12.779><c> an</c><00:28:13.079><c> unfading</c><00:28:13.859><c> beauty</c><00:28:14.500><c> that</c><00:28:15.640><c> is</c><00:28:15.839><c> so</c><00:28:16.059><c> often</c><00:28:16.400><c> seen</c><00:28:16.759><c> on</c>

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:23.240
And<00:28:19.680><c> that</c><00:28:19.880><c> is</c><00:28:20.059><c> a</c><00:28:20.200><c> quality</c><00:28:20.440><c> that</c><00:28:20.640><c> is</c><00:28:20.960><c> so</c><00:28:21.420><c> precious</c><00:28:21.779><c> to</c><00:28:22.039><c> God,</c><00:28:22.240><c> he</c><00:28:22.460><c> says.</c>

00:28:23.539 --> 00:28:25.599
And<00:28:23.660><c> that's</c><00:28:23.960><c> the</c><00:28:24.119><c> way</c><00:28:24.359><c> holy</c><00:28:24.900><c> women</c><00:28:25.240><c> of</c><00:28:25.460><c> old.</c>

00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:29.980
Now<00:28:25.779><c> we</c><00:28:25.859><c> know</c><00:28:26.319><c> there</c><00:28:26.859><c> is</c><00:28:27.119><c> the</c><00:28:27.700><c> translation</c><00:28:28.220><c> and</c><00:28:28.380><c> the</c><00:28:28.559><c> connection</c><00:28:28.759><c> with</c><00:28:29.000><c> Abraham</c><00:28:29.460><c> and</c><00:28:29.799><c> Sarah.</c>

00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:31.819
And<00:28:30.099><c> that's</c><00:28:30.279><c> the</c><00:28:30.420><c> connection</c><00:28:30.599><c> we</c><00:28:30.880><c> make</c><00:28:31.319><c> often.</c>

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:35.099
But<00:28:32.299><c> the</c><00:28:32.480><c> word</c><00:28:32.599><c> is</c><00:28:32.799><c> in</c><00:28:33.019><c> plural.</c><00:28:33.299><c> So</c><00:28:33.440><c> who</c><00:28:33.619><c> are</c><00:28:33.720><c> the</c><00:28:33.859><c> other</c><00:28:34.039><c> examples?</c>

00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:36.660
Bathsheba<00:28:35.599><c> is</c><00:28:35.900><c> certainly</c><00:28:36.099><c> an</c><00:28:36.400><c> example.</c>
