00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:57.219
I<00:02:54.300><c> mean,</c><00:02:54.479><c> everybody</c><00:02:54.680><c> was</c><00:02:54.879><c> just,</c><00:02:55.319><c> by</c><00:02:55.439><c> the</c><00:02:55.520><c> way,</c><00:02:55.699><c> they</c><00:02:55.860><c> were</c><00:02:55.979><c> just</c><00:02:56.259><c> farmers,</c><00:02:56.599><c> for</c><00:02:56.860><c> example.</c>

00:02:57.460 --> 00:02:59.520
Then<00:02:57.539><c> when</c><00:02:57.699><c> the</c><00:02:57.900><c> cry</c><00:02:58.000><c> went</c><00:02:58.219><c> out</c><00:02:58.439><c> for</c><00:02:58.620><c> some</c><00:02:58.759><c> men,</c><00:02:58.979><c> they</c><00:02:59.099><c> just</c>

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.000
always<00:03:15.639><c> there,</c>

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.360

00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.699
If<00:03:35.699><c> you</c><00:03:35.860><c> listen</c><00:03:36.099><c> to</c><00:03:36.419><c> Samuel</c><00:03:36.800><c> again,</c><00:03:37.060><c> that's</c><00:03:37.280><c> what</c><00:03:37.439><c> I</c><00:03:37.560><c> kept</c>

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.740
You<00:03:43.879><c> never</c><00:03:44.080><c> looked</c><00:03:44.319><c> at</c><00:03:44.479><c> me</c><00:03:44.580><c> while</c><00:03:44.800><c> speaking</c><00:03:45.139><c> at</c><00:03:45.300><c> him,</c><00:03:45.599><c> by</c><00:03:45.599><c> the</c>

00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:50.060
But<00:03:47.699><c> every</c><00:03:47.939><c> time</c><00:03:48.099><c> I</c><00:03:48.219><c> looked</c><00:03:48.419><c> at</c><00:03:48.659><c> Saul</c><00:03:48.800><c> and</c><00:03:48.919><c> asked</c><00:03:49.039><c> him,</c><00:03:49.360><c> are</c><00:03:49.419><c> you</c><00:03:49.699><c> listening</c><00:03:49.900><c> to</c>

00:03:52.659 --> 00:03:56.180
The<00:03:52.900><c> message</c><00:03:53.240><c> was</c><00:03:53.560><c> loud</c><00:03:53.860><c> and</c><00:03:54.199><c> clear.</c><00:03:54.960><c> Give</c><00:03:55.120><c> yourselves</c><00:03:55.539><c> a</c><00:03:55.780><c> king</c><00:03:55.900><c> by</c>

And<00:03:59.439><c> one</c><00:03:59.539><c> of</c><00:03:59.639><c> the</c><00:03:59.840><c> consequences</c><00:04:00.340><c> was</c><00:04:00.620><c> that</c><00:04:00.879><c> slowly</c><00:04:01.039><c> but</c><00:04:01.219><c> surely,</c><00:04:01.860><c> he</c><00:04:02.039><c> began</c><00:04:02.379><c> to</c>

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.960
Well,<00:04:08.080><c> here</c><00:04:08.240><c> at</c><00:04:08.400><c> the</c><00:04:08.460><c> beginning</c><00:04:08.659><c> of</c><00:04:08.860><c> chapter</c><00:04:09.099><c> 13,</c><00:04:09.580><c> you've</c><00:04:09.840><c> got</c>

00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:10.860
two<00:04:10.199><c> men</c><00:04:10.340><c> in</c><00:04:10.620><c> charge.</c>

00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:12.900
We<00:04:11.099><c> haven't</c><00:04:11.319><c> heard</c><00:04:11.539><c> about</c><00:04:11.800><c> Jonathan</c><00:04:12.099><c> before,</c><00:04:12.539><c> but</c><00:04:12.599><c> here</c><00:04:12.840><c> he</c>

00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:19.139
So<00:04:14.740><c> we</c><00:04:14.960><c> must</c><00:04:15.199><c> be</c><00:04:15.379><c> some</c><00:04:15.719><c> time</c><00:04:16.120><c> on.</c><00:04:16.899><c> Ignore</c><00:04:17.339><c> verse</c><00:04:17.939><c> 1</c><00:04:18.279><c> of</c><00:04:18.420><c> chapter</c><00:04:18.699><c> 13.</c>

00:04:19.220 --> 00:04:21.480
No<00:04:19.399><c> one</c><00:04:19.579><c> seems</c><00:04:19.879><c> to</c><00:04:20.060><c> agree</c><00:04:20.240><c> at</c><00:04:20.579><c> all</c><00:04:20.720><c> what</c><00:04:20.879><c> the</c><00:04:21.060><c> numbers</c><00:04:21.259><c> were.</c>

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:23.040
Apparently,<00:04:21.839><c> they're</c><00:04:22.019><c> missing</c><00:04:22.360><c> in</c><00:04:22.500><c> the</c><00:04:22.699><c> original.</c>

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.939

00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.480

You<00:09:13.919><c> will</c><00:09:14.100><c> remember</c><00:09:14.320><c> there</c><00:09:14.419><c> is</c><00:09:14.620><c> a</c><00:09:14.840><c> priest</c><00:09:15.000><c> there</c><00:09:15.259><c> with</c><00:09:15.500><c> him.</c>

00:09:15.659 --> 00:09:19.600
We<00:09:15.779><c> must</c><00:09:16.000><c> assume</c><00:09:16.279><c> that</c><00:09:16.539><c> he</c><00:09:16.700><c> did</c><00:09:16.860><c> it,</c><00:09:17.000><c> but</c><00:09:17.120><c> he</c><00:09:17.259><c> did</c><00:09:17.440><c> it</c><00:09:17.639><c> on</c><00:09:17.860><c> the</c>

00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:23.620
Isn't<00:09:22.779><c> it</c><00:09:22.980><c> just</c><00:09:23.179><c> the</c><00:09:23.320><c> way</c><00:09:23.440><c> it</c><00:09:23.519><c> is?</c>

00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:25.779
The<00:09:23.899><c> drama</c><00:09:24.200><c> is</c><00:09:24.620><c> quite</c><00:09:24.899><c> good,</c><00:09:25.179><c> isn't</c><00:09:25.340><c> it,</c><00:09:25.620><c> here?</c>

00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.580
It<00:09:26.399><c> came</c><00:09:26.600><c> to</c><00:09:26.879><c> pass,</c><00:09:27.120><c> verse</c><00:09:27.360><c> 10.</c>

00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:32.159
And<00:09:27.580><c> as</c><00:09:27.860><c> soon</c><00:09:28.240><c> as</c><00:09:28.399><c> he</c><00:09:28.480><c> had</c><00:09:28.700><c> made</c><00:09:28.879><c> an</c><00:09:29.259><c> offering</c><00:09:29.620><c> of</c><00:09:30.279><c> the</c><00:09:30.639><c> burnt</c><00:09:30.940><c> offering,</c>

00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:37.220
Samuel.

00:09:39.220 --> 00:09:42.539
What<00:09:39.779><c> have</c><00:09:40.340><c> you</c><00:09:40.980><c> done,</c><00:09:41.899><c> Saul?</c>

00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.620
Well,<00:09:43.659><c> here</c><00:09:43.799><c> comes</c><00:09:44.019><c> a</c><00:09:44.159><c> response.</c>

00:09:44.779 --> 00:09:47.840
Well,<00:09:44.960><c> well,</c><00:09:45.240><c> because</c><00:09:45.639><c> I</c><00:09:45.960><c> saw</c><00:09:46.159><c> that</c><00:09:46.299><c> the</c><00:09:46.440><c> people</c><00:09:46.559><c> were</c><00:09:46.860><c> scattered</c><00:09:47.139><c> from</c><00:09:47.500><c> me,</c>

00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.580

00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:53.059
and<00:09:51.000><c> that</c><00:09:51.159><c> the</c><00:09:51.419><c> Philistines</c><00:09:51.860><c> gathered</c><00:09:52.220><c> themselves</c><00:09:52.639><c> together</c>

00:09:53.059 --> 00:09:53.700
at<00:09:53.340><c> Micmash,</c>

00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:56.200
therefore<00:09:54.299><c> said</c><00:09:54.539><c> I,</c><00:09:54.740><c> the</c><00:09:54.919><c> Philistines</c><00:09:55.320><c> will</c><00:09:55.539><c> come</c><00:09:55.820><c> down</c><00:09:56.000><c> now</c>

00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:56.919

00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.620
and<00:09:57.279><c> I</c><00:09:57.539><c> have</c><00:09:57.980><c> not</c><00:09:59.000><c> made</c><00:09:59.320><c> supplication</c><00:09:59.980><c> unto</c><00:10:00.220><c> the</c><00:10:00.500><c> Lord.</c>

00:10:02.779 --> 00:10:05.019
That<00:10:03.039><c> comes</c><00:10:03.279><c> at</c><00:10:03.480><c> the</c><00:10:03.539><c> end</c><00:10:03.679><c> of</c><00:10:03.840><c> the</c><00:10:03.960><c> sentence,</c><00:10:04.460><c> please</c><00:10:04.720><c> note.</c>

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.299
I<00:10:05.480><c> find</c><00:10:05.720><c> that</c><00:10:05.940><c> suspicious.</c>

00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:11.220
But<00:10:10.240><c> that,</c><00:10:10.700><c> by</c><00:10:10.779><c> the</c><00:10:10.980><c> by.</c>

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.720
There<00:10:11.740><c> is</c><00:10:12.019><c> nothing</c><00:10:12.299><c> in</c><00:10:12.500><c> the</c><00:10:12.720><c> passage,</c><00:10:13.080><c> brethren</c><00:10:13.340><c> and</c><00:10:13.559><c> sisters,</c>

00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.120
to<00:10:14.039><c> say</c><00:10:14.240><c> that</c><00:10:14.500><c> Samuel</c><00:10:14.820><c> was</c><00:10:15.120><c> late.</c>

00:10:16.659 --> 00:10:17.320
Note<00:10:16.840><c> that.</c>

00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.700
He's<00:10:18.100><c> not</c><00:10:18.600><c> late.</c>

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.100
What<00:10:22.840><c> you</c><00:10:23.059><c> are</c><00:10:23.179><c> looking</c><00:10:23.460><c> at</c><00:10:23.799><c> here</c><00:10:24.039><c> is</c><00:10:24.519><c> a</c><00:10:24.860><c> man</c><00:10:25.159><c> who</c><00:10:25.419><c> is</c><00:10:25.740><c> taking</c>

00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:28.179
events<00:10:26.700><c> into</c><00:10:27.100><c> his</c><00:10:27.419><c> own</c><00:10:27.799><c> hands,</c>

and<00:10:28.480><c> chapters</c><00:10:28.820><c> 13</c><00:10:29.340><c> and</c><00:10:29.500><c> 14</c><00:10:30.080><c> is</c><00:10:30.440><c> all</c><00:10:30.720><c> about</c><00:10:30.980><c> a</c><00:10:31.240><c> man</c><00:10:31.440><c> doing</c><00:10:31.779><c> just</c><00:10:32.139><c> that,</c>

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.639
and<00:10:33.279><c> bringing</c><00:10:33.539><c> pain</c><00:10:33.980><c> and</c><00:10:34.320><c> misery</c><00:10:34.580><c> to</c><00:10:34.759><c> his</c><00:10:34.980><c> people</c><00:10:35.320><c> as</c><00:10:35.580><c> a</c><00:10:35.759><c> result.</c>

00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:41.279
The<00:10:38.159><c> issue</c><00:10:38.480><c> before</c><00:10:38.860><c> us</c><00:10:39.059><c> here,</c><00:10:39.340><c> brethren</c><00:10:39.440><c> and</c><00:10:39.659><c> sisters,</c><00:10:39.919><c> is</c><00:10:40.240><c> rebellion.</c>

00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:45.320
There's<00:10:42.360><c> been</c><00:10:42.519><c> more</c><00:10:43.559><c> than</c><00:10:43.679><c> one</c><00:10:43.799><c> or</c><00:10:43.899><c> two</c><00:10:44.059><c> wisecracks</c><00:10:44.600><c> about</c><00:10:44.919><c> my</c>

00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.620
stiff<00:10:45.620><c> neck</c><00:10:45.899><c> and</c><00:10:47.200><c> rebelliousness.</c>

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:52.639
So<00:10:49.500><c> I'm</c><00:10:49.980><c> taking</c><00:10:50.200><c> on</c><00:10:50.379><c> the</c><00:10:50.519><c> role</c><00:10:50.659><c> of</c><00:10:51.000><c> Saul</c><00:10:51.100><c> pretty</c><00:10:51.559><c> soon.</c>

00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:56.100
But<00:10:54.139><c> that's</c><00:10:54.620><c> what</c><00:10:54.759><c> you're</c><00:10:54.899><c> looking</c><00:10:55.139><c> at</c><00:10:55.360><c> here,</c><00:10:55.659><c> brethren</c><00:10:55.700><c> and</c><00:10:55.899><c> sisters.</c>

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:57.460
The<00:10:56.620><c> timetable</c><00:10:57.059><c> isn't</c><00:10:57.259><c> wrong.</c>

00:10:57.580 --> 00:10:59.100
There's<00:10:57.740><c> nothing</c><00:10:57.919><c> wrong</c><00:10:58.059><c> with</c><00:10:58.299><c> Samuel.</c>

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.480
Saul<00:10:59.840><c> is</c><00:11:00.320><c> impatient.</c>

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.700
Saul<00:11:03.759><c> is</c><00:11:04.080><c> not</c><00:11:04.440><c> carrying</c><00:11:04.740><c> out</c><00:11:05.100><c> these</c><00:11:06.759><c> sacrifices,</c>

00:11:08.059 --> 00:11:11.700
because<00:11:08.539><c> high</c><00:11:08.960><c> on</c><00:11:09.259><c> his</c><00:11:09.659><c> heart</c><00:11:09.899><c> is</c><00:11:10.100><c> the</c><00:11:10.279><c> God</c><00:11:10.460><c> of</c><00:11:10.659><c> Israel.</c>

00:11:13.220 --> 00:11:15.899
His<00:11:13.440><c> heart</c><00:11:13.700><c> is</c><00:11:13.860><c> in</c><00:11:13.960><c> his</c><00:11:14.200><c> boots,</c><00:11:14.419><c> actually,</c><00:11:14.700><c> at</c><00:11:14.860><c> the</c><00:11:14.940><c> moment,</c>

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.320
because<00:11:16.919><c> he</c><00:11:17.080><c> can</c><00:11:17.299><c> see</c><00:11:17.519><c> his</c><00:11:17.679><c> men</c><00:11:17.879><c> leaving,</c>

00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.580
and<00:11:18.940><c> he</c><00:11:19.000><c> can</c><00:11:19.179><c> just</c><00:11:19.399><c> see</c><00:11:19.519><c> all</c><00:11:19.700><c> those</c><00:11:19.919><c> Philistines</c><00:11:20.379><c> out</c><00:11:20.620><c> there.</c>

00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:23.340
That's<00:11:22.200><c> the</c><00:11:22.360><c> worry.</c>

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:27.860
He<00:11:25.860><c> knew</c><00:11:26.220><c> that</c><00:11:26.559><c> Samuel</c><00:11:26.759><c> was</c><00:11:26.980><c> coming.</c>

00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.840
He<00:11:28.899><c> knew</c><00:11:29.259><c> that</c><00:11:29.600><c> Samuel</c><00:11:29.820><c> was</c><00:11:30.039><c> the</c><00:11:30.259><c> prophet</c><00:11:30.519><c> of</c><00:11:30.759><c> the</c><00:11:30.940><c> Lord.</c>

00:11:32.179 --> 00:11:35.559
If<00:11:32.379><c> he</c><00:11:32.559><c> was</c><00:11:32.799><c> a</c><00:11:33.019><c> man</c><00:11:33.240><c> of</c><00:11:33.639><c> faith,</c><00:11:33.940><c> as</c><00:11:34.179><c> we</c><00:11:34.379><c> have</c><00:11:34.600><c> seen</c><00:11:34.840><c> previously,</c>

00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.700
and<00:11:36.019><c> I'm</c><00:11:36.220><c> still</c><00:11:36.539><c> convinced</c><00:11:36.879><c> he</c><00:11:37.039><c> was</c><00:11:37.220><c> a</c><00:11:37.379><c> man</c><00:11:37.519><c> of</c><00:11:37.720><c> faith</c><00:11:37.860><c> to</c><00:11:38.059><c> start</c><00:11:38.279><c> off</c><00:11:38.519><c> with,</c>

00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:41.860
there<00:11:39.120><c> are</c><00:11:39.279><c> some</c><00:11:39.500><c> who</c><00:11:39.759><c> have</c><00:11:39.799><c> spoken</c><00:11:40.039><c> to</c><00:11:40.220><c> me</c><00:11:40.379><c> since</c><00:11:40.600><c> who</c><00:11:40.720><c> are</c><00:11:40.860><c> not</c><00:11:41.059><c> quite</c><00:11:41.259><c> so</c><00:11:41.460><c> convinced,</c>

00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:44.019
but<00:11:42.500><c> I'm</c><00:11:42.799><c> convinced</c><00:11:43.100><c> he</c><00:11:43.200><c> was</c><00:11:43.379><c> a</c><00:11:43.600><c> good</c><00:11:43.799><c> man.</c>

00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:47.580
He<00:11:44.100><c> was</c><00:11:44.779><c> a</c><00:11:45.019><c> simple,</c><00:11:45.919><c> straight</c><00:11:46.120><c> kind</c><00:11:46.480><c> of</c><00:11:46.679><c> man.</c>

00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:49.179
He<00:11:48.460><c> got</c><00:11:48.620><c> his</c><00:11:49.000><c> flaws.</c>

00:11:49.259 --> 00:11:49.940
I<00:11:49.340><c> don't</c><00:11:49.580><c> doubt</c><00:11:49.779><c> it.</c>

00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:53.659
I<00:11:49.940><c> think</c><00:11:50.120><c> those</c><00:11:50.480><c> flaws</c><00:11:50.759><c> come</c><00:11:51.080><c> to</c><00:11:51.299><c> the</c><00:11:51.460><c> surface</c><00:11:51.899><c> in</c><00:11:52.340><c> due</c><00:11:52.620><c> course.</c>

00:11:54.940 --> 00:11:56.740
But<00:11:55.120><c> it's</c><00:11:55.340><c> gone</c><00:11:55.620><c> now.</c>

00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.860
This<00:11:57.519><c> man</c><00:11:57.820><c> feels</c><00:11:58.080><c> threatened</c><00:11:58.480><c> by</c><00:11:58.779><c> a</c><00:11:59.200><c> host</c><00:11:59.539><c> out</c><00:11:59.860><c> there,</c>

00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.320
and<00:12:01.379><c> he</c><00:12:01.460><c> just</c><00:12:01.600><c> wants</c><00:12:01.679><c> to</c><00:12:01.860><c> get</c><00:12:01.960><c> things</c><00:12:02.259><c> moving.</c>

00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.600
Well,<00:12:04.039><c> he's</c><00:12:04.320><c> almost</c><00:12:04.659><c> treating</c><00:12:05.000><c> these</c><00:12:05.299><c> offerings</c><00:12:05.639><c> as</c><00:12:05.860><c> some</c><00:12:06.179><c> kind</c><00:12:06.419><c> of</c>

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.100
lucky<00:12:06.820><c> charm.</c>

00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:09.200
Well,<00:12:07.340><c> that's</c><00:12:07.840><c> inviting</c><00:12:08.159><c> disaster.</c>

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:12.200
He's<00:12:09.960><c> not</c><00:12:10.120><c> the</c><00:12:10.279><c> first</c><00:12:10.519><c> person</c><00:12:10.799><c> to</c><00:12:10.919><c> have</c><00:12:11.000><c> done</c><00:12:11.059><c> it</c><00:12:11.240><c> in</c><00:12:11.399><c> Scripture</c><00:12:11.620><c> either,</c>

00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.159
nor<00:12:12.580><c> was</c><00:12:12.820><c> he</c><00:12:12.980><c> the</c><00:12:13.159><c> last.</c>

00:12:14.419 --> 00:12:19.940
You<00:12:14.799><c> have</c><00:12:15.059><c> done</c><00:12:15.519><c> foolishly,</c><00:12:16.759><c> says</c><00:12:17.120><c> Samuel</c><00:12:18.700><c> here</c><00:12:18.940><c> in</c><00:12:19.100><c> verse</c><00:12:19.320><c> 13.</c>

00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.379
There<00:12:20.259><c> is</c><00:12:20.600><c> nothing</c><00:12:20.980><c> unjust</c><00:12:21.480><c> in</c><00:12:21.759><c> the</c><00:12:22.019><c> condemnation</c><00:12:22.600><c> of</c><00:12:22.820><c> Saul</c><00:12:23.019><c> here.</c>

00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:25.980
What<00:12:23.820><c> was</c><00:12:24.139><c> at</c><00:12:24.379><c> stake</c><00:12:24.519><c> was</c><00:12:24.720><c> the</c><00:12:25.039><c> whole</c><00:12:25.340><c> principle</c>

00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:29.139
of<00:12:26.500><c> the</c><00:12:26.740><c> subordination</c><00:12:27.580><c> of</c><00:12:27.840><c> the</c><00:12:28.159><c> king</c>

00:12:29.059 --> 00:12:33.440
under<00:12:29.379><c> the</c><00:12:29.840><c> will</c><00:12:30.240><c> of</c><00:12:30.740><c> Yahweh,</c><00:12:31.279><c> the</c><00:12:31.600><c> God</c><00:12:32.059><c> of</c><00:12:32.320><c> Israel.</c>

00:12:34.100 --> 00:12:36.159
That's<00:12:34.679><c> where</c><00:12:34.940><c> Samuel</c><00:12:35.379><c> took</c><00:12:35.639><c> the</c><00:12:35.899><c> nation.</c>

00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:39.019
That's<00:12:36.440><c> where</c><00:12:36.659><c> Samuel</c><00:12:37.039><c> took</c><00:12:37.259><c> the</c><00:12:37.600><c> king</c><00:12:37.919><c> in</c><00:12:38.259><c> that</c><00:12:38.539><c> speech</c><00:12:38.820><c> in</c>

00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:40.659
chapter<00:12:39.320><c> 12.</c>

00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:43.659
And<00:12:41.379><c> he's</c><00:12:41.639><c> already</c><00:12:42.080><c> shed</c><00:12:42.379><c> that.</c>

00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:46.720
And<00:12:45.080><c> Samuel</c><00:12:45.220><c> can</c><00:12:45.519><c> see</c><00:12:45.700><c> that.</c>

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.879
He<00:12:47.179><c> is</c><00:12:47.399><c> showing</c><00:12:47.559><c> on</c><00:12:47.779><c> the</c><00:12:47.980><c> one</c><00:12:48.259><c> hand</c><00:12:48.740><c> distrust</c><00:12:49.440><c> in</c><00:12:49.679><c> God,</c>

00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:52.600
and<00:12:50.039><c> on</c><00:12:50.200><c> the</c><00:12:50.320><c> other</c><00:12:50.539><c> hand</c><00:12:50.759><c> shows</c><00:12:51.000><c> a</c><00:12:51.320><c> spirit</c><00:12:51.519><c> of</c><00:12:51.799><c> self</c><00:12:52.059><c>-assertion,</c>

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:58.059
not<00:12:53.200><c> needing</c><00:12:53.899><c> any</c><00:12:54.679><c> cause</c><00:12:55.039><c> or</c><00:12:55.519><c> counsel</c><00:12:56.039><c> from</c><00:12:56.700><c> God</c><00:12:57.120><c> through</c><00:12:57.639><c> Samuel.</c>

00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.700
Now<00:12:58.340><c> such</c><00:12:58.580><c> a</c><00:12:58.740><c> man</c><00:12:58.820><c> as</c><00:12:59.039><c> that</c><00:12:59.279><c> is</c><00:12:59.500><c> not</c><00:12:59.840><c> fit</c><00:13:00.080><c> to</c><00:13:00.559><c> be</c><00:13:00.759><c> a</c><00:13:01.000><c> king</c><00:13:01.360><c> of</c>

00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:03.259
God's<00:13:02.360><c> people.</c>

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.179
And<00:13:03.539><c> unbelief</c><00:13:04.100><c> is</c><00:13:04.360><c> going</c><00:13:04.480><c> to</c><00:13:04.659><c> be</c><00:13:04.779><c> the</c><00:13:05.019><c> root</c><00:13:05.419><c> of</c><00:13:06.039><c> Saul's</c><00:13:06.840><c> failing.</c>

00:13:07.179 --> 00:13:12.240
And<00:13:07.980><c> it,</c><00:13:08.460><c> of</c><00:13:08.620><c> course,</c><00:13:09.039><c> can</c><00:13:09.179><c> happen</c><00:13:09.720><c> in</c><00:13:10.139><c> our</c><00:13:10.399><c> lives</c><00:13:10.799><c> too.</c>

00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:16.039
So<00:13:13.100><c> what's</c><00:13:13.360><c> God's</c><00:13:13.779><c> verdict</c><00:13:14.019><c> in</c><00:13:14.179><c> all</c><00:13:14.360><c> of</c><00:13:14.519><c> this?</c>

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:19.159
Verse<00:13:18.139><c> 14.</c>

00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:24.419
Now<00:13:20.240><c> thy</c><00:13:20.759><c> kingdom</c><00:13:21.639><c> shall</c><00:13:22.299><c> not</c><00:13:23.179><c> continue.</c>

00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.399
I<00:13:27.139><c> think</c><00:13:27.279><c> what</c><00:13:27.500><c> that</c><00:13:27.799><c> means</c><00:13:28.000><c> is</c><00:13:28.159><c> that</c><00:13:28.399><c> his</c><00:13:29.080><c> kingship</c><00:13:30.179><c> is</c><00:13:31.240><c> going</c>

00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:32.899
to<00:13:31.639><c> come</c><00:13:31.799><c> to</c><00:13:31.980><c> an</c><00:13:32.139><c> end.</c>

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.360
Tomorrow<00:13:33.779><c> I'll</c><00:13:34.240><c> show</c><00:13:34.419><c> you</c><00:13:34.580><c> why</c><00:13:34.759><c> I'm</c><00:13:34.960><c> saying</c><00:13:35.200><c> that.</c>

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.100
But<00:13:35.399><c> I</c><00:13:35.460><c> think</c><00:13:35.600><c> it's</c><00:13:35.779><c> just</c><00:13:36.039><c> a</c><00:13:36.159><c> personal</c><00:13:36.559><c> thing</c><00:13:36.759><c> at</c><00:13:36.919><c> the</c><00:13:37.059><c> moment.</c>

00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:38.759
Right?

00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.100
Thy<00:13:39.299><c> kingdom</c><00:13:39.779><c> shall</c><00:13:40.039><c> not</c><00:13:40.340><c> continue.</c>

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.240
The<00:13:41.620><c> Lord</c><00:13:41.860><c> has</c><00:13:42.159><c> sought</c><00:13:42.299><c> him</c><00:13:42.519><c> a</c><00:13:42.679><c> man</c><00:13:42.980><c> after</c><00:13:43.360><c> his</c><00:13:43.600><c> own</c><00:13:43.899><c> heart.</c>

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:46.259
There<00:13:44.700><c> you</c><00:13:44.919><c> have</c><00:13:45.059><c> it.</c>

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:50.720
They<00:13:47.340><c> got</c><00:13:47.600><c> their</c><00:13:47.840><c> king,</c><00:13:48.720><c> and</c><00:13:48.840><c> he</c><00:13:49.000><c> was</c><00:13:49.179><c> a</c><00:13:49.360><c> man</c><00:13:49.500><c> after</c><00:13:49.799><c> their</c><00:13:50.179><c> own</c><00:13:50.539><c> heart.</c>

00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:52.279
That<00:13:50.919><c> was</c><00:13:51.120><c> the</c><00:13:51.320><c> problem.</c>

00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:57.299
God<00:13:53.620><c> has</c><00:13:54.019><c> found</c><00:13:54.340><c> himself</c><00:13:54.919><c> a</c><00:13:55.259><c> man</c><00:13:55.600><c> after</c><00:13:56.059><c> his</c><00:13:56.539><c> own</c><00:13:57.000><c> heart,</c>

00:13:57.379 --> 00:14:01.000
and<00:13:57.620><c> the</c><00:13:57.860><c> Lord</c><00:13:58.059><c> has</c><00:13:58.360><c> commanded</c><00:13:58.799><c> him</c><00:13:59.220><c> to</c><00:13:59.399><c> be</c><00:13:59.639><c> prince</c><00:13:59.960><c> or</c><00:14:00.299><c> captain</c><00:14:00.700><c> over</c>

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:01.500
his<00:14:01.259><c> people.</c>

00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:02.000
Why?

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.799
Because<00:14:02.519><c> you</c><00:14:02.940><c> have</c><00:14:03.259><c> not</c><00:14:03.580><c> kept</c><00:14:03.779><c> that</c><00:14:04.000><c> which</c><00:14:04.159><c> the</c><00:14:04.340><c> Lord</c><00:14:04.500><c> commanded</c><00:14:05.019><c> thee.</c>

00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:07.019
Incidentally,<00:14:06.299><c> that's</c><00:14:06.440><c> said</c><00:14:06.720><c> twice.</c>

00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.700
At<00:14:07.179><c> the</c><00:14:07.240><c> end</c><00:14:07.379><c> of</c><00:14:07.480><c> verse</c><00:14:07.659><c> 14,</c><00:14:08.580><c> and</c><00:14:08.720><c> it</c><00:14:08.919><c> appears</c><00:14:09.179><c> in</c><00:14:09.340><c> one</c><00:14:09.440><c> of</c><00:14:09.580><c> the</c>

00:14:09.700 --> 00:14:10.500
earlier<00:14:09.960><c> verses,</c><00:14:10.419><c> isn't</c><00:14:10.500><c> it?</c>

00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:11.639
Well,<00:14:10.799><c> the</c><00:14:10.919><c> end</c><00:14:10.940><c> of</c><00:14:11.039><c> verse</c><00:14:11.220><c> 13.</c>

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:14.340
Thou<00:14:11.960><c> hast</c><00:14:12.179><c> not</c><00:14:12.460><c> kept</c><00:14:12.620><c> the</c><00:14:12.840><c> command</c><00:14:13.039><c> to</c><00:14:13.200><c> the</c><00:14:13.360><c> Lord</c><00:14:13.500><c> thy</c><00:14:13.700><c> God</c><00:14:13.899><c> which</c><00:14:14.100><c> he</c>

00:14:14.340 --> 00:14:14.940
commanded<00:14:14.679><c> thee.</c>

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.000
Now<00:14:15.340><c> we</c><00:14:15.460><c> are</c><00:14:15.659><c> not</c><00:14:15.820><c> explicitly</c><00:14:16.340><c> told</c><00:14:16.720><c> precisely</c><00:14:17.200><c> what</c><00:14:17.419><c> that</c><00:14:17.700><c> was,</c>

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.419
but<00:14:18.320><c> it's</c><00:14:18.580><c> the</c><00:14:18.720><c> kind</c><00:14:18.940><c> of</c><00:14:19.139><c> phrase</c><00:14:19.279><c> that</c><00:14:19.519><c> backs</c><00:14:19.759><c> up</c><00:14:19.980><c> the</c><00:14:20.139><c> notion</c>

00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:21.919
that<00:14:20.639><c> he</c><00:14:20.820><c> stepped</c><00:14:21.120><c> out</c><00:14:21.399><c> of</c><00:14:21.639><c> line.</c>

00:14:22.419 --> 00:14:24.759
There<00:14:22.559><c> was</c><00:14:22.799><c> nothing</c><00:14:23.139><c> wrong</c><00:14:23.460><c> with</c><00:14:23.740><c> Samuel</c><00:14:24.019><c> not</c><00:14:24.299><c> being</c><00:14:24.539><c> there</c>

00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.279
at<00:14:24.919><c> the</c><00:14:25.080><c> time</c><00:14:25.240><c> that</c><00:14:25.419><c> he</c><00:14:25.659><c> wanted</c><00:14:25.960><c> him</c><00:14:26.139><c> to</c><00:14:26.320><c> be</c><00:14:26.500><c> there.</c>

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:29.039
He's<00:14:28.059><c> impatient.</c>

00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:30.120
He's<00:14:29.259><c> losing</c><00:14:29.460><c> his</c><00:14:29.759><c> faith.</c>

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:34.360
He's<00:14:30.980><c> more</c><00:14:31.179><c> concerned</c><00:14:31.639><c> about</c><00:14:31.899><c> his</c><00:14:32.059><c> own</c><00:14:32.360><c> assertiveness</c><00:14:33.200><c> of</c>

00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:35.480
his<00:14:34.460><c> own</c><00:14:34.659><c> position</c><00:14:35.019><c> there.</c>

00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:39.960
And<00:14:35.779><c> holding</c><00:14:36.080><c> people</c><00:14:36.440><c> together,</c><00:14:37.039><c> he</c><00:14:37.039><c> must</c><00:14:37.299><c> feel</c><00:14:37.899><c> pretty</c><00:14:39.220><c> insecure</c>

00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.039
to<00:14:40.500><c> use</c><00:14:40.759><c> a</c><00:14:40.940><c> word</c><00:14:41.120><c> that</c><00:14:41.299><c> one</c><00:14:41.419><c> or</c><00:14:41.519><c> two</c><00:14:41.679><c> people</c><00:14:41.919><c> have</c><00:14:42.139><c> used</c><00:14:42.500><c> with</c>

00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.799
me<00:14:43.320><c> in</c><00:14:43.539><c> talking</c><00:14:43.860><c> about</c><00:14:44.299><c> Saul</c><00:14:44.539><c> in</c><00:14:44.700><c> those</c><00:14:44.899><c> early</c><00:14:45.159><c> days.</c>

00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.039
So<00:14:46.399><c> there</c><00:14:46.500><c> may</c><00:14:46.659><c> just</c><00:14:46.919><c> be</c><00:14:47.120><c> a</c><00:14:47.220><c> hint</c><00:14:47.320><c> of</c><00:14:47.539><c> insecurity</c><00:14:48.059><c> there,</c><00:14:48.899><c> too.</c>

00:14:49.179 --> 00:14:50.000
Who's<00:14:49.419><c> to</c><00:14:49.659><c> say?</c>

00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.080
It<00:14:50.620><c> doesn't</c><00:14:51.360><c> look</c><00:14:51.980><c> good.</c>

00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:54.740
Now<00:14:53.340><c> then,</c><00:14:54.159><c> it's</c><00:14:54.299><c> just</c><00:14:54.480><c> interesting.</c>

00:14:55.139 --> 00:14:57.580
The<00:14:55.620><c> Lord</c><00:14:55.860><c> has</c><00:14:56.179><c> sought</c><00:14:56.360><c> him</c><00:14:56.500><c> a</c><00:14:56.639><c> man</c><00:14:56.740><c> of</c><00:14:56.820><c> his</c><00:14:57.019><c> own</c><00:14:57.299><c> heart,</c>

00:14:57.580 --> 00:15:00.720
and<00:14:57.899><c> the</c><00:14:58.080><c> Lord</c><00:14:58.519><c> hath</c><00:14:59.080><c> commanded</c><00:14:59.480><c> him</c><00:14:59.679><c> to</c><00:14:59.779><c> be</c><00:15:00.019><c> captain</c><00:15:00.340><c> over</c>

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.019
his<00:15:01.019><c> people.</c>

00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:04.379
Well,<00:15:02.740><c> that's</c><00:15:03.240><c> interesting.</c>

00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.419
David<00:15:04.539><c> doesn't</c><00:15:04.820><c> appear</c><00:15:05.100><c> on</c><00:15:05.299><c> the</c><00:15:05.480><c> scene</c><00:15:05.600><c> until</c><00:15:05.899><c> chapter</c><00:15:06.240><c> 16.</c>

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.440
We<00:15:07.960><c> have</c><00:15:08.259><c> no</c><00:15:08.580><c> chronology</c><00:15:09.120><c> to</c><00:15:09.399><c> work</c><00:15:09.580><c> from</c><00:15:09.980><c> here.</c>

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:14.320
It<00:15:10.799><c> is</c><00:15:11.120><c> conceivable</c><00:15:11.720><c> David</c><00:15:12.120><c> isn't</c><00:15:12.379><c> even</c><00:15:12.679><c> alive</c><00:15:13.080><c> at</c><00:15:13.279><c> this</c><00:15:13.460><c> moment</c><00:15:13.799><c> in</c><00:15:14.100><c> time.</c>

00:15:14.419 --> 00:15:15.759
Just<00:15:14.720><c> possible.</c>

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:18.340
And<00:15:16.000><c> if</c><00:15:16.240><c> he</c><00:15:16.299><c> is,</c><00:15:16.539><c> he's</c><00:15:16.639><c> an</c><00:15:16.840><c> extremely</c><00:15:17.139><c> young</c><00:15:17.379><c> lad.</c>

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:22.519
Do<00:15:19.399><c> you</c><00:15:19.700><c> see</c><00:15:19.879><c> how</c><00:15:20.100><c> the</c><00:15:20.399><c> plan</c><00:15:20.700><c> of</c><00:15:20.940><c> God,</c><00:15:21.240><c> the</c><00:15:21.440><c> whole</c><00:15:21.700><c> thing,</c><00:15:22.259><c> it's</c>

00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:22.919
all<00:15:22.779><c> there.</c>

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:24.460
It's<00:15:23.059><c> all</c><00:15:23.259><c> in</c><00:15:23.539><c> place.</c>

00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.320
And<00:15:26.000><c> underneath</c><00:15:26.480><c> that</c><00:15:26.840><c> umbrella</c><00:15:27.320><c> of</c><00:15:27.559><c> the</c><00:15:27.720><c> plan</c><00:15:27.860><c> of</c><00:15:28.120><c> God,</c>

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.220
men<00:15:28.659><c> and</c><00:15:28.860><c> women</c><00:15:29.259><c> with</c><00:15:29.759><c> perfect</c><00:15:30.179><c> free</c><00:15:30.519><c> will</c><00:15:30.700><c> are</c><00:15:30.899><c> doing</c><00:15:31.019><c> their</c>

00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:32.799
own<00:15:31.440><c> bits</c><00:15:31.620><c> and</c><00:15:31.840><c> pieces,</c><00:15:32.080><c> all</c><00:15:32.240><c> in</c><00:15:32.460><c> there.</c>

00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:35.279
It's<00:15:33.220><c> all</c><00:15:33.340><c> taken</c><00:15:33.539><c> into</c><00:15:33.820><c> account.</c>

00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.600
It's<00:15:35.480><c> all</c><00:15:35.600><c> of</c><00:15:35.679><c> it</c><00:15:35.799><c> working</c><00:15:36.120><c> towards</c><00:15:36.759><c> the</c><00:15:37.580><c> plan</c><00:15:37.799><c> and</c><00:15:38.000><c> the</c><00:15:38.179><c> purpose</c><00:15:38.379><c> of</c>

00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.320
God<00:15:38.940><c> Himself.</c>

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:44.200
So<00:15:41.379><c> the</c><00:15:41.820><c> divine</c><00:15:42.240><c> plan</c><00:15:42.500><c> is</c><00:15:42.720><c> already</c><00:15:43.039><c> well</c><00:15:43.340><c> ahead</c><00:15:43.559><c> of</c><00:15:43.759><c> the</c><00:15:43.940><c> human</c>

00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.679
scene,<00:15:45.379><c> as</c><00:15:45.580><c> I</c><00:15:45.840><c> say.</c>

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:50.440
The<00:15:46.980><c> key</c><00:15:47.320><c> phrase</c><00:15:47.659><c> there</c><00:15:48.039><c> is,</c><00:15:48.419><c> he</c><00:15:48.759><c> is</c><00:15:49.019><c> a</c><00:15:49.179><c> man</c><00:15:49.299><c> after</c><00:15:49.519><c> God's</c><00:15:49.879><c> own</c><00:15:50.039><c> heart.</c>

00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.620
Unlike<00:15:51.240><c> you,</c><00:15:51.879><c> Saul.</c>

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:57.860
So<00:15:55.580><c> Samuel</c><00:15:55.840><c> goes</c><00:15:56.080><c> down</c><00:15:56.320><c> to</c><00:15:56.480><c> Saul's</c><00:15:56.759><c> home,</c><00:15:57.100><c> which</c><00:15:57.139><c> is</c><00:15:57.320><c> Gibeah,</c>

00:15:58.179 --> 00:16:03.480
and<00:15:58.360><c> Saul</c><00:15:58.519><c> joins</c><00:15:59.080><c> Jonathan</c><00:15:59.879><c> in</c><00:16:00.419><c> Gibeah,</c><00:16:01.019><c> which</c><00:16:01.159><c> is</c><00:16:01.480><c> opposite</c><00:16:02.179><c> Micmash.</c>

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:08.059
And<00:16:05.580><c> again,</c><00:16:06.139><c> one</c><00:16:06.220><c> or</c><00:16:06.340><c> two</c><00:16:06.500><c> more</c><00:16:06.700><c> home</c><00:16:07.080><c> spawn</c><00:16:07.440><c> maps</c><00:16:07.779><c> here.</c>

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:12.580
This<00:16:08.279><c> might</c><00:16:08.519><c> just</c><00:16:08.820><c> give</c><00:16:08.919><c> us</c><00:16:09.120><c> a</c><00:16:09.179><c> little</c><00:16:09.379><c> bit</c><00:16:10.059><c> more</c><00:16:10.320><c> detail</c><00:16:10.860><c> about</c><00:16:12.179><c> where</c><00:16:12.399><c> the</c>

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:15.820
next<00:16:12.840><c> action</c><00:16:13.480><c> takes</c><00:16:14.279><c> place.</c>

00:16:16.899 --> 00:16:22.580
So,<00:16:17.740><c> it</c><00:16:18.080><c> seems</c><00:16:18.279><c> to</c><00:16:18.440><c> me</c><00:16:18.539><c> the</c><00:16:18.740><c> Philistines</c><00:16:19.120><c> in</c><00:16:19.240><c> all</c><00:16:19.440><c> of</c><00:16:19.600><c> this</c><00:16:20.059><c> show</c><00:16:20.480><c> complete</c><00:16:21.120><c> disdain</c><00:16:21.600><c> for</c><00:16:21.840><c> Saul.</c>

00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.559
He<00:16:22.940><c> might</c><00:16:23.200><c> well</c><00:16:23.379><c> be</c><00:16:23.580><c> heading</c><00:16:23.759><c> shoulders</c><00:16:24.120><c> above</c><00:16:24.320><c> everybody</c><00:16:24.639><c> else.</c>

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.460
He<00:16:25.700><c> might</c><00:16:25.940><c> well</c><00:16:26.179><c> have</c><00:16:26.340><c> won</c><00:16:26.480><c> a</c><00:16:26.639><c> battle</c><00:16:26.899><c> or</c><00:16:27.159><c> two.</c>

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.519

00:16:32.940 --> 00:16:33.960
It<00:16:33.039><c> doesn't</c><00:16:33.220><c> much</c><00:16:33.480><c> matter.</c>

00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:38.460
You<00:16:34.500><c> read</c><00:16:34.720><c> in</c><00:16:34.899><c> the</c><00:16:34.919><c> next</c><00:16:35.299><c> two</c><00:16:37.000><c> or</c><00:16:37.159><c> three</c><00:16:37.379><c> verses</c><00:16:37.720><c> there,</c><00:16:38.279><c> where</c>

00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:38.700
are<00:16:38.620><c> we?</c>

00:16:38.820 --> 00:16:40.879
We're<00:16:38.820><c> in</c><00:16:38.919><c> verses</c><00:16:39.379><c> 15,</c><00:16:39.779><c> 16,</c><00:16:40.200><c> 17,</c><00:16:40.600><c> 18.</c>

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.899
They<00:16:41.299><c> send</c><00:16:41.500><c> out</c><00:16:41.799><c> raiding</c><00:16:42.120><c> parties</c><00:16:42.600><c> at</c><00:16:43.059><c> will.</c>

00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:47.919
That's<00:16:44.980><c> the</c><00:16:45.039><c> kind</c><00:16:45.299><c> of</c><00:16:45.500><c> control</c><00:16:45.879><c> Saul's</c><00:16:46.299><c> got</c><00:16:46.480><c> on</c><00:16:46.960><c> the</c><00:16:47.159><c> area.</c>

00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:50.840
These<00:16:48.580><c> Philistines</c><00:16:49.019><c> just</c><00:16:49.720><c> at</c><00:16:50.039><c> will.</c>

00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:53.960
It<00:16:51.559><c> isn't</c><00:16:51.919><c> so</c><00:16:52.200><c> much</c><00:16:52.600><c> that</c><00:16:52.899><c> they</c><00:16:53.059><c> are</c><00:16:53.240><c> fighting</c><00:16:53.539><c> battles.</c>

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.259
It<00:16:54.120><c> is</c><00:16:54.320><c> that</c><00:16:54.399><c> they</c><00:16:54.580><c> are</c><00:16:54.840><c> scaring</c><00:16:55.139><c> the</c><00:16:55.340><c> local</c><00:16:55.700><c> populace.</c>

00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.139
They<00:16:56.559><c> might</c><00:16:56.759><c> well</c><00:16:56.940><c> be</c><00:16:57.120><c> raiding</c><00:16:57.399><c> them</c><00:16:57.679><c> for</c><00:16:58.179><c> supplies,</c><00:16:58.759><c> whatever.</c>

00:16:59.299 --> 00:17:00.120
It<00:16:59.299><c> doesn't</c><00:16:59.519><c> much</c><00:16:59.740><c> matter.</c>

00:17:00.460 --> 00:17:02.879
But<00:17:00.779><c> nobody</c><00:17:01.220><c> can</c><00:17:01.659><c> stop</c><00:17:01.980><c> them.</c>

00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:06.099
And<00:17:03.299><c> all</c><00:17:03.500><c> of</c><00:17:03.659><c> this,</c><00:17:03.820><c> as</c><00:17:03.960><c> I</c><00:17:04.119><c> say,</c><00:17:04.559><c> is</c><00:17:04.720><c> happening</c><00:17:05.039><c> right</c><00:17:05.500><c> in</c><00:17:05.839><c> the</c>

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:06.900
centre<00:17:06.400><c> of</c><00:17:06.660><c> the</c><00:17:06.799><c> land.</c>

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.839
It's<00:17:07.140><c> happening</c><00:17:07.400><c> in</c><00:17:07.660><c> Benjamin,</c><00:17:08.640><c> you</c><00:17:08.779><c> know,</c><00:17:08.880><c> his</c><00:17:09.079><c> own</c><00:17:09.359><c> backyard.</c>

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:11.079
That's<00:17:10.279><c> bad</c><00:17:10.420><c> enough,</c><00:17:10.720><c> isn't</c><00:17:10.920><c> it?</c>

00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.500
But<00:17:11.400><c> that</c><00:17:11.720><c> backyard</c><00:17:12.079><c> is</c><00:17:12.299><c> right</c><00:17:12.519><c> at</c><00:17:12.700><c> the</c><00:17:12.859><c> centre</c><00:17:13.099><c> of</c><00:17:13.279><c> the</c><00:17:13.420><c> nation.</c>

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:19.240
And<00:17:16.779><c> why</c><00:17:17.059><c> should</c><00:17:17.259><c> there</c><00:17:17.380><c> be</c><00:17:17.579><c> so</c><00:17:18.220><c> full</c><00:17:18.660><c> of</c><00:17:18.920><c> disdain?</c>

00:17:19.380 --> 00:17:21.640
Well,<00:17:19.420><c> perhaps</c><00:17:19.660><c> verse</c><00:17:19.900><c> 19</c><00:17:20.319><c> is</c><00:17:20.519><c> part</c><00:17:20.740><c> of</c><00:17:20.900><c> the</c><00:17:21.039><c> point,</c><00:17:21.279><c> isn't</c><00:17:21.440><c> it?</c>

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.200
Now<00:17:21.880><c> there</c><00:17:22.039><c> was</c><00:17:22.259><c> no</c><00:17:22.539><c> smith</c><00:17:22.940><c> found</c><00:17:23.319><c> throughout</c><00:17:23.640><c> all</c><00:17:23.900><c> the</c><00:17:24.039><c> land</c>

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.720
of<00:17:24.339><c> Israel.</c>

00:17:25.019 --> 00:17:27.339
For<00:17:25.140><c> the</c><00:17:25.400><c> Philistines</c><00:17:25.799><c> said,</c><00:17:26.099><c> lest</c><00:17:26.299><c> the</c><00:17:26.559><c> Hebrews</c><00:17:26.779><c> make</c><00:17:27.099><c> them</c>

00:17:27.339 --> 00:17:28.200
swords<00:17:27.599><c> or</c><00:17:27.859><c> spears.</c>

00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.440
But<00:17:28.559><c> all</c><00:17:28.819><c> the</c><00:17:29.000><c> Israelites</c><00:17:29.160><c> went</c><00:17:29.440><c> down</c><00:17:29.680><c> to</c><00:17:29.839><c> the</c><00:17:29.980><c> Philistines.</c>

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:33.940
I<00:17:30.980><c> mean,</c><00:17:31.700><c> just</c><00:17:31.960><c> what</c><00:17:32.160><c> is</c><00:17:32.359><c> going</c><00:17:32.640><c> on</c><00:17:32.920><c> here?</c>

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:38.059
Just<00:17:34.619><c> who</c><00:17:34.839><c> are</c><00:17:34.960><c> the</c><00:17:35.220><c> Philistines</c><00:17:35.980><c> to</c><00:17:36.660><c> tell</c><00:17:36.819><c> the</c><00:17:37.140><c> Israelites,</c>

00:17:38.579 --> 00:17:41.019
you're<00:17:39.019><c> not</c><00:17:39.220><c> allowed</c><00:17:39.539><c> any</c><00:17:39.819><c> swords,</c><00:17:40.059><c> you</c><00:17:40.160><c> understand</c><00:17:40.619><c> that?</c>

00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.079
Spears,<00:17:41.839><c> they're</c><00:17:42.079><c> out.</c>

00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:46.259
I<00:17:43.579><c> mean,</c><00:17:44.000><c> how</c><00:17:44.240><c> impotent</c><00:17:44.859><c> is</c><00:17:45.079><c> this</c><00:17:45.299><c> nation?</c>

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.480
Amazing,<00:17:49.200><c> isn't</c><00:17:49.339><c> it?</c>

00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.900
Well,<00:17:49.740><c> we</c><00:17:49.900><c> discovered,</c><00:17:50.240><c> of</c><00:17:50.420><c> course,</c><00:17:50.700><c> that</c><00:17:50.779><c> Jonathan</c><00:17:51.140><c> and</c><00:17:51.420><c> Saul</c><00:17:51.559><c> have</c><00:17:51.720><c> got</c>

00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:53.619
a<00:17:52.059><c> sword</c><00:17:52.259><c> or</c><00:17:52.640><c> two</c><00:17:52.880><c> or</c><00:17:53.180><c> a</c><00:17:53.420><c> spear.</c>

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:56.640
It's<00:17:54.319><c> not</c><00:17:54.460><c> made</c><00:17:55.039><c> specifically</c><00:17:55.640><c> clear</c><00:17:56.000><c> on</c><00:17:56.180><c> that</c><00:17:56.420><c> point.</c>

00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:58.420
It<00:17:56.900><c> doesn't</c><00:17:57.119><c> much</c><00:17:57.339><c> matter.</c>

00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:59.859
But<00:17:58.720><c> the</c><00:17:58.880><c> rest</c><00:17:59.059><c> of</c><00:17:59.240><c> the</c><00:17:59.359><c> nation</c><00:17:59.579><c> haven't.</c>

00:18:00.059 --> 00:18:02.599
They've<00:18:00.259><c> got</c><00:18:00.420><c> slings,</c><00:18:01.740><c> bows</c><00:18:01.960><c> and</c><00:18:02.200><c> arrows.</c>

00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.200
So<00:18:03.599><c> no</c><00:18:03.900><c> wonder</c><00:18:04.059><c> the</c><00:18:04.359><c> Philistines</c><00:18:04.859><c> at</c><00:18:05.440><c> will</c><00:18:05.700><c> just</c><00:18:06.640><c> mirrored</c>

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:08.039
through<00:18:07.500><c> the</c><00:18:07.700><c> land.</c>

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:10.440
There's<00:18:08.460><c> nothing</c><00:18:08.640><c> to</c><00:18:08.880><c> scare</c><00:18:09.140><c> them</c><00:18:09.339><c> anymore.</c>

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:12.980
The<00:18:10.640><c> odd</c><00:18:10.900><c> loss</c><00:18:11.200><c> or</c><00:18:11.460><c> two,</c><00:18:11.660><c> well,</c><00:18:11.880><c> they</c><00:18:12.039><c> could</c><00:18:12.240><c> handle</c><00:18:12.579><c> that</c><00:18:12.799><c> as</c>

00:18:12.980 --> 00:18:14.019
you<00:18:13.039><c> can</c><00:18:13.279><c> well</c><00:18:13.559><c> see.</c>

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:18.039
But<00:18:14.640><c> they've</c><00:18:14.779><c> now</c><00:18:14.920><c> come</c><00:18:15.160><c> back</c><00:18:15.740><c> in</c><00:18:16.359><c> full</c><00:18:16.759><c> force.</c>

00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:22.519
And<00:18:18.900><c> Saul</c><00:18:19.519><c> worries</c><00:18:20.519><c> still</c><00:18:21.440><c> further.</c>

00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:28.680
You<00:18:23.980><c> see,</c><00:18:24.180><c> it</c><00:18:24.299><c> is</c><00:18:24.519><c> above</c><00:18:24.819><c> all</c><00:18:26.240><c> a</c><00:18:27.140><c> failure</c><00:18:27.460><c> that</c><00:18:27.819><c> comes</c><00:18:28.240><c> from</c>

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.359
choosing<00:18:29.220><c> your</c><00:18:29.980><c> own</c><00:18:30.359><c> way.</c>

00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:34.079
Have<00:18:32.740><c> you</c><00:18:32.859><c> noticed</c><00:18:33.079><c> who's</c><00:18:33.420><c> suffering</c><00:18:33.720><c> here?</c>

00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:37.000
It<00:18:34.400><c> isn't</c><00:18:34.660><c> just</c><00:18:35.099><c> Saul,</c><00:18:35.420><c> it's</c><00:18:35.579><c> the</c><00:18:35.839><c> nation.</c>

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:42.700
They're<00:18:37.960><c> both</c><00:18:38.319><c> suffering</c><00:18:38.880><c> for</c><00:18:39.720><c> a</c><00:18:40.039><c> decision</c><00:18:40.400><c> that</c><00:18:40.880><c> was</c><00:18:41.180><c> badly</c><00:18:41.519><c> made.</c>

00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.799
The<00:18:42.940><c> picture</c><00:18:43.259><c> we</c><00:18:43.640><c> have</c><00:18:43.819><c> here</c><00:18:44.119><c> is</c><00:18:44.299><c> one</c><00:18:44.500><c> of</c><00:18:44.740><c> helplessness,</c><00:18:46.140><c> dependence</c><00:18:46.440><c> and</c><00:18:47.140><c> wretchedness.</c>

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:53.619

00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.619
This<00:19:05.619><c> is</c><00:19:05.779><c> a</c><00:19:05.960><c> deep</c><00:19:06.220><c> ravine.</c>

00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.460
There's<00:19:07.900><c> an</c><00:19:08.039><c> outpost</c><00:19:08.440><c> from</c><00:19:08.740><c> the</c><00:19:09.700><c> Philistines</c><00:19:10.240><c> here.</c>

00:19:10.539 --> 00:19:14.359

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.460
It<00:19:17.319><c> would</c><00:19:17.480><c> be</c><00:19:17.619><c> easy</c><00:19:17.799><c> for</c><00:19:17.960><c> them</c><00:19:18.079><c> to</c><00:19:18.279><c> see</c><00:19:18.380><c> the</c><00:19:18.660><c> Israelites</c><00:19:19.099><c> and</c>

Chapter<00:19:46.200><c> 13.</c>

00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:51.359
He<00:19:47.480><c> now</c><00:19:47.720><c> becomes</c><00:19:48.099><c> the</c><00:19:48.480><c> main</c><00:19:48.740><c> man</c><00:19:49.480><c> in</c><00:19:50.240><c> the</c><00:19:50.400><c> next</c><00:19:50.779><c> scene.</c>

But<00:23:55.359><c> the</c><00:23:55.599><c> garrison</c><00:23:56.019><c> is</c><00:23:56.220><c> going</c><00:23:56.380><c> to</c><00:23:56.539><c> fall</c><00:23:56.680><c> into</c><00:23:56.900><c> the</c><00:23:57.099><c> hands</c><00:23:57.359><c> of</c>

00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:58.740
the<00:23:57.779><c> nation.</c>

00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:00.779
Why<00:23:59.660><c> is</c><00:23:59.859><c> that?</c>

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:02.980
Oh,<00:24:01.160><c> because</c><00:24:01.440><c> the</c><00:24:01.680><c> nation</c><00:24:01.960><c> is</c><00:24:02.119><c> God's</c><00:24:02.539><c> nation.</c>

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:05.720
As<00:24:03.599><c> we</c><00:24:03.799><c> go</c><00:24:04.000><c> further</c><00:24:04.279><c> through</c><00:24:04.480><c> the</c><00:24:04.619><c> chapter,</c><00:24:04.940><c> if</c><00:24:05.039><c> time</c><00:24:05.240><c> allows,</c>

this<00:24:10.299><c> event.</c>

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:12.839
In<00:24:11.460><c> stark</c><00:24:11.660><c> contrast.</c>

00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:16.839
But<00:24:13.279><c> Jonathan</c><00:24:13.460><c> is</c><00:24:13.640><c> now</c><00:24:13.880><c> quite</c><00:24:14.099><c> convinced</c><00:24:14.619><c> of</c><00:24:15.140><c> the</c><00:24:16.160><c> outcome</c><00:24:16.599><c> of</c>

the<00:24:17.019><c> issue.</c>

00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:17.980
All<00:24:17.579><c> right?</c>

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:21.220
And<00:24:18.420><c> Jonathan,</c><00:24:18.859><c> verse</c><00:24:19.000><c> 13,</c><00:24:19.359><c> climbed</c><00:24:19.700><c> up</c><00:24:19.880><c> with</c><00:24:19.980><c> his</c><00:24:20.200><c> hands</c><00:24:20.380><c> upon</c><00:24:20.640><c> his</c><00:24:20.960><c> feet.</c>

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:22.579
His<00:24:21.599><c> arm</c><00:24:21.859><c>-bearer</c><00:24:22.240><c> after</c><00:24:22.420><c> him.</c>

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:24.460
You<00:24:23.500><c> can</c><00:24:23.779><c> visit</c><00:24:23.980><c> this</c><00:24:24.220><c> place.</c>

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.220
There<00:24:24.759><c> may</c><00:24:24.900><c> be</c><00:24:25.019><c> brethren</c><00:24:25.299><c> and</c><00:24:25.539><c> sisters</c><00:24:25.700><c> who</c><00:24:25.859><c> have</c><00:24:25.859><c> actually</c>

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:29.059
It's<00:24:28.240><c> described</c><00:24:28.579><c> for</c><00:24:28.779><c> us</c><00:24:28.920><c> there.</c>

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:30.740
I<00:24:29.140><c> didn't</c><00:24:29.319><c> actually</c><00:24:29.559><c> read</c><00:24:29.740><c> that</c><00:24:29.940><c> bit</c><00:24:30.140><c> to</c><00:24:30.420><c> you.</c>

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.759

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.819
It's<00:24:34.000><c> a</c><00:24:34.099><c> very</c><00:24:34.460><c> steep</c><00:24:34.819><c>-sided</c><00:24:35.059><c> ravine.</c>

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:40.059
The<00:24:36.339><c> Philistines</c><00:24:36.839><c> didn't</c><00:24:37.119><c> expect</c><00:24:37.740><c> anybody</c><00:24:38.160><c> to</c><00:24:38.440><c> come</c><00:24:38.599><c> up</c><00:24:38.779><c> that</c><00:24:39.119><c> way.</c>

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:41.539
You<00:24:40.799><c> know?</c>

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:44.420
And<00:24:41.799><c> here</c><00:24:41.980><c> they</c><00:24:42.160><c> are,</c><00:24:42.440><c> look,</c><00:24:42.740><c> in</c><00:24:42.839><c> verse</c><00:24:43.740><c> 13.</c>

On<00:24:45.019><c> hands</c><00:24:45.299><c> and</c><00:24:45.539><c> feet.</c>

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:47.779

And<00:24:49.059><c> they</c><00:24:49.259><c> fell</c><00:24:49.519><c> before</c><00:24:49.940><c> Jonathan,</c><00:24:50.500><c> the</c><00:24:50.619><c> Philistines.</c>

00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:52.880
And<00:24:51.579><c> his</c><00:24:51.839><c> arm</c><00:24:52.019><c>-bearer</c><00:24:52.359><c> slew</c><00:24:52.539><c> after</c><00:24:52.779><c> him.</c>

00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:54.680
And<00:24:53.000><c> after</c><00:24:53.200><c> that</c><00:24:53.460><c> first</c><00:24:53.740><c> slaughter,</c><00:24:54.119><c> which</c><00:24:54.180><c> Jonathan</c><00:24:54.519><c> and</c>

00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.220
I'll<00:24:59.799><c> read</c><00:25:00.000><c> the</c><00:25:00.539><c> revised</c><00:25:00.819><c> version.</c>

00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:06.660

00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:10.119
And<00:25:07.180><c> there</c><00:25:07.279><c> was</c><00:25:07.480><c> a</c><00:25:07.740><c> trembling</c><00:25:08.000><c> in</c><00:25:08.299><c> the</c><00:25:08.559><c> camp,</c><00:25:09.279><c> in</c><00:25:09.539><c> the</c><00:25:09.799><c> field,</c>

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:13.420
among<00:25:10.619><c> all</c><00:25:10.960><c> the</c><00:25:11.160><c> people,</c><00:25:11.759><c> the</c><00:25:11.920><c> garrison</c><00:25:12.339><c> and</c><00:25:12.740><c> the</c><00:25:13.059><c> spoilers.</c>

00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:15.140
They<00:25:13.900><c> also</c><00:25:14.559><c> trembled.</c>

00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:17.359
And<00:25:15.680><c> notice</c><00:25:16.200><c> this.</c>

00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:21.740
Like<00:25:17.839><c> yesterday</c><00:25:18.319><c> or</c><00:25:18.440><c> the</c><00:25:18.559><c> day</c><00:25:18.740><c> before,</c><00:25:19.660><c> there</c><00:25:19.839><c> was</c><00:25:20.119><c> a</c><00:25:20.339><c> slight</c><00:25:20.579><c> earthquake.</c>

00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:24.920
I'm<00:25:23.460><c> not</c><00:25:23.640><c> sure</c><00:25:23.759><c> what</c><00:25:23.900><c> it</c><00:25:24.000><c> was</c><00:25:24.119><c> on</c><00:25:24.299><c> the</c><00:25:24.400><c> Richter</c><00:25:24.660><c> scale,</c>

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:26.420
but<00:25:25.119><c> it</c><00:25:25.160><c> doesn't</c><00:25:25.359><c> much</c><00:25:25.579><c> matter</c><00:25:25.880><c> right</c><00:25:26.160><c> now.</c>

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:28.220
They<00:25:26.839><c> had</c><00:25:27.000><c> an</c><00:25:27.200><c> earthquake.</c>

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:35.299
God<00:25:30.500><c> is</c><00:25:31.039><c> with</c><00:25:31.259><c> Jonathan</c><00:25:31.720><c> because</c><00:25:32.880><c> he</c><00:25:33.640><c> is</c><00:25:34.160><c> for</c><00:25:34.420><c> God.</c>

00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:37.119
It's<00:25:35.539><c> as</c><00:25:35.720><c> simple</c><00:25:35.900><c> as</c><00:25:36.099><c> that.</c>

00:25:38.339 --> 00:25:40.519
Saul<00:25:38.880><c> didn't</c><00:25:39.420><c> understand</c><00:25:40.000><c> that.</c>

00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:44.279
Not<00:25:41.220><c> now</c><00:25:41.519><c> he</c><00:25:41.700><c> doesn't.</c>

00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:47.400
Well,<00:25:45.200><c> in</c><00:25:45.299><c> the</c><00:25:45.460><c> meantime,</c><00:25:45.960><c> of</c><00:25:46.039><c> course,</c><00:25:46.660><c> a</c><00:25:46.839><c> mile</c><00:25:47.039><c> away,</c>

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:49.880

00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:51.619
and<00:25:50.039><c> they</c><00:25:50.140><c> can't</c><00:25:50.400><c> make</c><00:25:50.619><c> out</c><00:25:50.740><c> what's</c><00:25:50.940><c> going</c><00:25:51.160><c> on</c><00:25:51.380><c> here.</c>

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.200
Obviously,<00:25:52.420><c> things</c><00:25:52.440><c> are...</c>

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.819
Well,<00:25:53.460><c> some</c><00:25:53.640><c> things</c><00:25:54.339><c> are</c><00:25:54.640><c> stirred</c><00:25:54.779><c> up</c><00:25:55.059><c> there.</c>

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:58.880
And<00:25:56.259><c> the</c><00:25:56.519><c> watchman</c><00:25:56.900><c> in</c><00:25:57.059><c> verse</c><00:25:57.220><c> 16</c><00:25:57.759><c> of</c><00:25:58.000><c> Saul</c><00:25:58.240><c> and</c><00:25:58.400><c> Gibear</c><00:25:58.700><c> of</c>

00:25:58.880 --> 00:25:59.500
Benjamin<00:25:59.299><c> looked,</c>

00:25:59.660 --> 00:26:01.460
and<00:25:59.660><c> behold,</c><00:25:59.960><c> the</c><00:26:00.119><c> multitude</c><00:26:00.500><c> melted</c><00:26:00.839><c> away.</c>

00:26:01.940 --> 00:26:03.619
And<00:26:02.039><c> they</c><00:26:02.200><c> went</c><00:26:02.400><c> on</c><00:26:02.640><c> beating</c><00:26:02.880><c> down</c><00:26:03.259><c> one</c><00:26:03.400><c> another.</c>

00:26:03.619 --> 00:26:05.420
Then<00:26:03.839><c> said</c><00:26:04.059><c> Saul</c><00:26:04.279><c> unto</c><00:26:04.440><c> the</c><00:26:04.619><c> people</c><00:26:04.839><c> that</c><00:26:05.000><c> were</c><00:26:05.099><c> with</c><00:26:05.279><c> him,</c>

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:07.539
Now,<00:26:05.920><c> hang</c><00:26:06.099><c> on,</c><00:26:06.700><c> who</c><00:26:06.920><c> is</c><00:26:07.099><c> up</c><00:26:07.279><c> there?</c>

00:26:07.859 --> 00:26:08.839

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:10.779
This<00:26:09.079><c> is</c><00:26:09.259><c> a</c><00:26:09.279><c> man</c><00:26:09.480><c> in</c><00:26:09.660><c> full</c><00:26:09.839><c> control,</c><00:26:10.160><c> you</c><00:26:10.319><c> understand.</c>

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.299
He<00:26:11.200><c> doesn't</c><00:26:11.880><c> even</c><00:26:12.079><c> know</c><00:26:12.220><c> who's</c><00:26:12.440><c> gone</c><00:26:12.640><c> up</c><00:26:12.880><c> there.</c>

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:14.460
Just<00:26:13.720><c> who's</c><00:26:14.039><c> up</c><00:26:14.160><c> there?</c>

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:17.160
And<00:26:14.680><c> before</c><00:26:14.839><c> long,</c><00:26:15.500><c> Jonathan</c><00:26:15.980><c> and</c><00:26:16.220><c> his</c><00:26:16.380><c> armor</c><00:26:16.640><c>-bearer.</c>

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:18.740
Is<00:26:17.319><c> that</c><00:26:17.680><c> so?</c>

00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:21.420
Well,<00:26:19.660><c> I</c><00:26:19.819><c> didn't</c><00:26:19.920><c> give</c><00:26:20.099><c> that</c><00:26:20.319><c> order.</c>

00:26:24.099 --> 00:26:26.420
And<00:26:24.539><c> bring</c><00:26:24.980><c> hither</c><00:26:25.259><c> the</c><00:26:25.539><c> ark,</c><00:26:25.720><c> verse</c><00:26:26.000><c> 18.</c>

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:27.500
This<00:26:26.599><c> is</c><00:26:26.779><c> the</c><00:26:26.920><c> authorized</c><00:26:27.220><c> version.</c>

00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:29.039

00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.579
The<00:26:29.299><c> ark</c><00:26:29.500><c> of</c><00:26:29.579><c> God</c><00:26:29.779><c> was</c><00:26:29.960><c> at</c><00:26:30.119><c> that</c><00:26:30.359><c> time</c><00:26:30.579><c> with</c><00:26:30.859><c> the</c><00:26:31.000><c> children</c><00:26:31.160><c> of</c><00:26:31.299><c> Israel.</c>

00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:35.900
Now,<00:26:32.220><c> the</c><00:26:32.400><c> Septuagint</c><00:26:33.019><c> version</c><00:26:33.660><c> refers</c><00:26:34.400><c> all</c><00:26:34.680><c> this</c><00:26:34.799><c> to</c><00:26:34.980><c> the</c><00:26:35.200><c> Ephod,</c>

00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:37.619
which<00:26:36.539><c> must</c><00:26:36.779><c> be</c><00:26:36.980><c> right,</c><00:26:37.200><c> actually.</c>

00:26:37.619 --> 00:26:39.599
I<00:26:37.859><c> mean,</c><00:26:38.119><c> the</c><00:26:38.220><c> ark</c><00:26:38.380><c> of</c><00:26:38.519><c> the</c><00:26:38.680><c> covenant</c><00:26:38.799><c> is</c><00:26:38.980><c> not</c><00:26:39.160><c> the</c><00:26:39.319><c> kind</c><00:26:39.480><c> of</c>

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:40.420
thing<00:26:39.700><c> you</c><00:26:39.900><c> consult.</c>

00:26:40.779 --> 00:26:42.220
It's<00:26:40.880><c> not</c><00:26:41.019><c> the</c><00:26:41.140><c> kind</c><00:26:41.259><c> of</c><00:26:41.339><c> thing</c><00:26:41.440><c> you</c><00:26:41.579><c> bring</c><00:26:41.900><c> hither.</c>

00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:43.299
That's<00:26:42.599><c> what</c><00:26:42.599><c> it</c><00:26:42.799><c> says</c><00:26:42.960><c> here.</c>

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:45.359
And<00:26:43.660><c> we</c><00:26:43.759><c> do,</c><00:26:44.019><c> don't</c><00:26:44.180><c> forget,</c><00:26:44.420><c> we've</c><00:26:44.619><c> got</c><00:26:44.700><c> the</c><00:26:44.960><c> priest</c><00:26:45.160><c> here,</c>

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:47.140
the<00:26:45.539><c> high</c><00:26:45.779><c> priest</c><00:26:46.039><c> here.</c>

00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:51.140
And<00:26:47.680><c> then</c><00:26:47.839><c> at</c><00:26:48.000><c> the</c><00:26:48.039><c> end</c><00:26:48.200><c> of</c><00:26:48.299><c> verse</c><00:26:48.460><c> 9,</c><00:26:48.640><c> he</c><00:26:48.759><c> talks</c><00:26:48.940><c> about</c><00:26:49.180><c> withdraw</c><00:26:49.779><c> thine</c><00:26:50.180><c> hand.</c>

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.759
So<00:26:51.339><c> this</c><00:26:51.500><c> is</c><00:26:51.680><c> obviously</c><00:26:51.880><c> a</c><00:26:52.119><c> reference</c><00:26:52.339><c> to</c><00:26:52.640><c> the</c><00:26:53.039><c> consultation</c>

00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:55.259
of<00:26:53.960><c> the</c><00:26:54.119><c> Urim</c><00:26:54.319><c> and</c><00:26:54.519><c> Thummim.</c>

00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:56.480
But<00:26:55.660><c> look</c><00:26:55.920><c> at</c><00:26:56.119><c> the</c><00:26:56.279><c> man.</c>

00:26:56.579 --> 00:26:58.160
Just<00:26:56.839><c> look</c><00:26:57.119><c> at</c><00:26:57.220><c> him.</c>

00:26:58.660 --> 00:27:00.720
Sure,<00:26:58.980><c> he</c><00:26:59.099><c> does</c><00:26:59.359><c> not</c><00:26:59.559><c> know</c><00:26:59.720><c> what's</c><00:27:00.039><c> happening</c><00:27:00.279><c> over</c><00:27:00.539><c> there.</c>

00:27:00.740 --> 00:27:04.059
He<00:27:00.900><c> wants</c><00:27:01.200><c> to</c><00:27:01.500><c> find</c><00:27:01.740><c> out,</c><00:27:02.039><c> A,</c><00:27:02.059><c> what's</c><00:27:02.480><c> happening,</c><00:27:02.920><c> and</c><00:27:03.119><c> B,</c><00:27:03.440><c> what</c><00:27:03.759><c> do</c>

00:27:04.059 --> 00:27:05.500
I<00:27:04.279><c> do</c><00:27:04.480><c> next?</c>

00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:07.160
Not<00:27:05.940><c> an</c><00:27:06.160><c> unreasonable</c><00:27:06.660><c> question.</c>

00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:08.119
I'm<00:27:07.359><c> sure</c><00:27:07.519><c> you</c><00:27:07.759><c> agree.</c>

00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:09.180
Not<00:27:08.640><c> at</c><00:27:08.940><c> all.</c>

00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.140
And<00:27:09.440><c> he</c><00:27:09.740><c> is</c><00:27:09.839><c> seeking</c><00:27:10.279><c> some</c><00:27:10.920><c> help</c><00:27:11.380><c> from</c><00:27:11.740><c> God.</c>

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:15.000
And<00:27:12.680><c> then</c><00:27:13.000><c> look</c><00:27:13.220><c> at</c><00:27:13.400><c> the</c><00:27:13.579><c> middle</c><00:27:13.740><c> of</c><00:27:13.900><c> verse</c><00:27:14.079><c> 19.</c>

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:17.819
While<00:27:15.759><c> Saul</c><00:27:16.099><c> talked</c><00:27:16.480><c> unto</c><00:27:16.740><c> the</c><00:27:17.019><c> priest,</c>

00:27:17.859 --> 00:27:21.180
the<00:27:18.099><c> tumult</c><00:27:18.519><c> that</c><00:27:18.680><c> was</c><00:27:18.880><c> in</c><00:27:19.039><c> the</c><00:27:19.339><c> camp</c><00:27:19.559><c> of</c><00:27:19.759><c> the</c><00:27:19.960><c> Philistines</c><00:27:20.400><c> went</c><00:27:20.720><c> on</c>

00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:22.920
and<00:27:21.680><c> increased.</c>

00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:25.740
Whoever<00:27:23.819><c> was</c><00:27:24.200><c> up</c><00:27:24.440><c> there,</c><00:27:24.619><c> and</c><00:27:24.779><c> we</c><00:27:24.900><c> now</c><00:27:25.079><c> know</c><00:27:25.180><c> it's</c><00:27:25.339><c> Jonathan</c>

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.720
and<00:27:25.940><c> his</c><00:27:26.039><c> armor</c><00:27:26.279><c>-bearer,</c>

00:27:26.819 --> 00:27:28.799
were<00:27:27.059><c> certainly</c><00:27:27.539><c> having</c><00:27:27.859><c> a</c><00:27:28.119><c> good</c><00:27:28.359><c> time.</c>

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:31.680
We<00:27:29.359><c> discover</c><00:27:29.819><c> later</c><00:27:30.180><c> down</c><00:27:30.480><c> the</c><00:27:30.660><c> passage,</c><00:27:31.099><c> there</c><00:27:31.220><c> were</c><00:27:31.380><c> some</c>

00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:32.619
Hebrews<00:27:32.019><c> in</c><00:27:32.319><c> there.</c>

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:36.059
They<00:27:32.920><c> were</c><00:27:33.039><c> either</c><00:27:33.279><c> forced</c><00:27:33.680><c> labor</c><00:27:33.980><c> or</c><00:27:34.319><c> those</c><00:27:34.579><c> who</c><00:27:34.859><c> felt</c><00:27:35.019><c> it</c><00:27:35.160><c> was</c><00:27:35.339><c> better</c><00:27:35.519><c> to</c><00:27:35.799><c> join</c>

00:27:36.059 --> 00:27:38.500
the<00:27:36.599><c> Philistines</c><00:27:37.119><c> rather</c><00:27:37.400><c> than</c><00:27:37.539><c> fight</c><00:27:37.759><c> against</c><00:27:38.180><c> them.</c>

00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.240
But<00:27:38.880><c> they</c><00:27:39.200><c> join</c><00:27:39.519><c> in,</c><00:27:39.900><c> and</c><00:27:40.099><c> the</c><00:27:40.259><c> battle</c><00:27:40.460><c> comes</c><00:27:40.680><c> a</c><00:27:40.900><c> bit</c><00:27:41.000><c> further</c>

00:27:42.980 --> 00:27:46.059
But<00:27:43.140><c> the</c><00:27:43.380><c> moment</c><00:27:43.779><c> Saul</c><00:27:44.319><c> sees</c><00:27:44.880><c> that</c><00:27:45.119><c> things</c><00:27:45.339><c> are</c><00:27:45.539><c> going</c><00:27:45.700><c> well</c>

00:27:46.059 --> 00:27:46.539
up<00:27:46.279><c> there,</c>

00:27:46.779 --> 00:27:48.819
he<00:27:46.839><c> tells</c><00:27:47.079><c> the</c><00:27:47.259><c> high</c><00:27:47.400><c> priest,</c><00:27:47.680><c> oh,</c><00:27:47.720><c> don't</c><00:27:47.859><c> bother.</c>

00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:53.160
I<00:27:50.400><c> mean,</c><00:27:50.519><c> what</c><00:27:50.640><c> kind</c><00:27:50.859><c> of</c><00:27:51.039><c> consultation</c><00:27:51.579><c> of</c><00:27:51.740><c> God</c><00:27:51.900><c> is</c><00:27:52.099><c> that?</c>

00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:04.519
This<00:28:01.200><c> is</c><00:28:01.480><c> a</c><00:28:01.680><c> man</c><00:28:02.119><c> who</c><00:28:02.619><c> is</c><00:28:02.960><c> treating</c><00:28:03.359><c> God</c><00:28:03.799><c> as</c><00:28:04.000><c> something</c><00:28:04.319><c> that</c>

00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:05.299
can<00:28:04.680><c> be</c><00:28:04.940><c> called</c><00:28:05.119><c> upon</c>

00:28:05.299 --> 00:28:07.380
and<00:28:05.460><c> just</c><00:28:05.559><c> put</c><00:28:05.799><c> away</c><00:28:06.099><c> at</c><00:28:06.420><c> will.</c>

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:10.579
He's<00:28:08.720><c> not</c><00:28:08.920><c> fit</c><00:28:09.119><c> to</c><00:28:09.279><c> be</c><00:28:09.500><c> king.</c>

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:16.880
We<00:28:13.680><c> sometimes</c><00:28:14.240><c> run</c><00:28:14.420><c> our</c><00:28:14.599><c> lives</c><00:28:14.880><c> like</c><00:28:15.140><c> that,</c><00:28:15.460><c> brethren</c><00:28:15.619><c> and</c><00:28:15.900><c> sisters.</c>

00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:25.940

00:33:55.619 --> 00:33:59.599
They<00:33:56.099><c> told</c><00:33:56.619><c> Saul,</c><00:33:57.039><c> saying,</c><00:33:57.200><c> behold,</c><00:33:57.920><c> the</c><00:33:58.059><c> people</c><00:33:58.359><c> sin</c><00:33:58.740><c> against</c><00:33:59.200><c> the</c><00:33:59.400><c> Lord</c>

00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:01.259
in<00:33:59.900><c> that</c><00:34:00.019><c> they</c><00:34:00.319><c> eat</c><00:34:00.619><c> with</c><00:34:00.940><c> the</c><00:34:01.140><c> blood.</c>

00:34:01.299 --> 00:34:05.019
He<00:34:01.400><c> said,</c><00:34:01.839><c> you</c><00:34:02.180><c> have</c><00:34:02.559><c> transgressed,</c><00:34:03.339><c> roll</c><00:34:03.759><c> a</c><00:34:04.059><c> great</c><00:34:04.220><c> stone</c><00:34:04.519><c> unto</c><00:34:04.759><c> me</c>

00:34:05.019 --> 00:34:05.660
this<00:34:05.319><c> day.</c>

00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:07.980
Now,<00:34:06.240><c> I</c><00:34:06.440><c> think</c><00:34:06.680><c> I</c><00:34:06.839><c> could</c><00:34:07.259><c> be</c><00:34:07.420><c> wrong</c><00:34:07.599><c> here.</c>

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.440
My<00:34:08.360><c> understanding</c><00:34:08.820><c> of</c><00:34:09.000><c> this</c><00:34:09.219><c> little</c><00:34:09.440><c> episode</c><00:34:09.840><c> is</c><00:34:10.039><c> that</c><00:34:10.199><c> this</c>

00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:11.719
is<00:34:10.659><c> a</c><00:34:11.179><c> big</c><00:34:11.340><c> enough</c><00:34:11.519><c> stone</c>

00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:14.679
upon<00:34:12.039><c> which</c><00:34:12.400><c> the</c><00:34:12.639><c> animals</c><00:34:12.920><c> could</c><00:34:13.239><c> be</c><00:34:13.539><c> draped</c><00:34:13.960><c> so</c><00:34:14.320><c> that</c><00:34:14.500><c> the</c>

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:16.559
blood<00:34:14.840><c> could</c><00:34:15.199><c> drain</c><00:34:15.440><c> away.</c>

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:19.880
It's<00:34:17.320><c> also</c><00:34:17.559><c> possible</c><00:34:18.019><c> that</c><00:34:18.260><c> that</c><00:34:18.500><c> great</c><00:34:18.739><c> stone</c><00:34:19.039><c> then</c><00:34:19.380><c> becomes</c>

00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:21.139
part<00:34:20.460><c> of</c><00:34:20.639><c> the</c><00:34:20.880><c> altar</c>

00:34:21.139 --> 00:34:23.159
which<00:34:21.400><c> he</c><00:34:21.619><c> builds</c><00:34:21.880><c> in</c><00:34:22.099><c> verse</c><00:34:22.380><c> 35.</c>

00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:26.219
What<00:34:23.739><c> a</c><00:34:23.960><c> complex</c><00:34:24.380><c> man</c><00:34:24.739><c> this</c><00:34:25.059><c> is.</c>

00:34:27.820 --> 00:34:33.460
Or<00:34:28.059><c> is</c><00:34:28.219><c> this</c><00:34:28.480><c> again</c><00:34:28.760><c> a</c><00:34:29.539><c> token,</c><00:34:30.260><c> just</c><00:34:30.559><c> a</c><00:34:30.840><c> token</c><00:34:31.239><c> of</c><00:34:31.559><c> respect</c><00:34:32.360><c> for</c>

00:34:33.460 --> 00:34:34.659
the<00:34:33.800><c> God</c><00:34:33.920><c> of</c><00:34:34.099><c> Israel,</c>

00:34:34.659 --> 00:34:36.159
built<00:34:35.119><c> an</c><00:34:35.340><c> altar</c><00:34:35.539><c> unto</c><00:34:35.800><c> the</c><00:34:36.000><c> Lord?</c>

00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:41.539
The<00:34:36.440><c> same</c><00:34:36.639><c> was</c><00:34:36.820><c> the</c><00:34:37.019><c> first</c><00:34:37.300><c> altar</c><00:34:37.780><c> that</c><00:34:38.539><c> he</c><00:34:38.900><c> built</c><00:34:39.400><c> unto</c><00:34:40.199><c> the</c><00:34:40.599><c> Lord.</c>

00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:45.539
Now,<00:34:42.860><c> you'd</c><00:34:43.159><c> have</c><00:34:43.179><c> thought</c><00:34:43.360><c> that</c><00:34:43.519><c> was</c><00:34:43.780><c> the</c><00:34:43.900><c> end</c><00:34:44.019><c> of</c><00:34:44.179><c> the</c><00:34:44.260><c> matter,</c><00:34:44.559><c> wouldn't</c><00:34:44.760><c> you?</c>

00:34:45.940 --> 00:34:47.880
Oh,<00:34:46.300><c> no,</c><00:34:46.440><c> not</c><00:34:46.599><c> if</c><00:34:46.719><c> you</c><00:34:46.960><c> saw.</c>

00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:53.880
Not<00:34:49.460><c> if</c><00:34:49.579><c> you've</c><00:34:49.739><c> just</c><00:34:49.980><c> been</c><00:34:50.300><c> in</c><00:34:51.539><c> charge</c><00:34:52.019><c> of</c><00:34:52.340><c> a</c><00:34:52.559><c> fairly</c><00:34:52.800><c> significant</c><00:34:53.420><c> battle</c>

00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:55.480
victory<00:34:54.239><c> now.</c>

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:58.539
Good<00:34:56.139><c> mopping</c><00:34:56.440><c> up</c><00:34:56.719><c> operations.</c><00:34:57.599><c> People</c><00:34:57.920><c> now</c><00:34:58.219><c> reasonably</c>

well<00:34:58.900><c> fed.</c>

00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:00.400
I'll<00:34:59.460><c> tell</c><00:34:59.579><c> you</c><00:34:59.659><c> what</c><00:34:59.800><c> we'll</c><00:34:59.920><c> do,</c><00:35:00.179><c> he</c><00:35:00.179><c> says.</c>

00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.800
By<00:35:01.099><c> night</c><00:35:01.440><c> now.</c><00:35:01.800><c> That'll</c><00:35:02.119><c> catch</c><00:35:02.320><c> them</c><00:35:02.480><c> out.</c>

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:04.800
We'll<00:35:03.219><c> go</c><00:35:03.440><c> by</c><00:35:03.760><c> night.</c>

00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:10.719
Well,<00:35:08.440><c> have</c><00:35:08.519><c> you</c><00:35:08.760><c> now</c><00:35:09.119><c> listened</c><00:35:09.679><c> to</c><00:35:09.880><c> the</c><00:35:10.179><c> people?</c>

00:35:11.059 --> 00:35:14.900
Take<00:35:11.280><c> your</c><00:35:11.519><c> eyes</c><00:35:11.699><c> off</c><00:35:12.099><c> Saul.</c><00:35:13.119><c> Listen</c><00:35:13.360><c> to</c><00:35:13.500><c> the</c><00:35:13.739><c> people.</c>

00:35:15.260 --> 00:35:17.159
Okay?<00:35:15.900><c> End</c><00:35:16.039><c> of</c><00:35:16.159><c> verse</c><00:35:16.340><c> 36.</c>

00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:22.780
They<00:35:17.760><c> said,</c><00:35:18.880><c> do</c><00:35:19.199><c> whatsoever</c><00:35:20.059><c> seemeth</c><00:35:20.639><c> good</c><00:35:21.320><c> unto</c><00:35:21.800><c> thee.</c>

00:35:23.579 --> 00:35:28.780
I<00:35:23.920><c> may</c><00:35:24.079><c> be</c><00:35:24.340><c> wrong,</c><00:35:25.139><c> but</c><00:35:25.340><c> that</c><00:35:25.539><c> is</c><00:35:25.699><c> one</c><00:35:25.880><c> of</c><00:35:26.000><c> the</c><00:35:26.119><c> most</c><00:35:26.400><c> noncommittal</c><00:35:27.199><c> statements</c><00:35:27.579><c> in</c><00:35:27.900><c> Scripture.</c>

00:35:30.980 --> 00:35:36.019
I<00:35:31.619><c> just</c><00:35:32.039><c> sense</c><00:35:32.519><c> that</c><00:35:32.880><c> people</c><00:35:33.440><c> are</c><00:35:33.980><c> getting</c><00:35:34.340><c> a</c><00:35:34.840><c> little</c><00:35:35.300><c> tired.</c>

00:35:36.500 --> 00:35:38.719
Nay,<00:35:36.659><c> but</c><00:35:36.900><c> we</c><00:35:37.139><c> will</c><00:35:37.340><c> have</c><00:35:37.559><c> a</c><00:35:37.739><c> king</c><00:35:37.900><c> over</c><00:35:38.239><c> us.</c>

00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:41.340
It's<00:35:39.340><c> now</c><00:35:39.559><c> just</c><00:35:39.840><c> beginning</c><00:35:40.099><c> to</c><00:35:40.420><c> dawn.</c>

00:35:41.699 --> 00:35:43.639
It<00:35:41.780><c> wasn't</c><00:35:42.019><c> a</c><00:35:42.280><c> king</c><00:35:42.519><c> they</c><00:35:42.800><c> got.</c>

00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:46.159
It<00:35:44.079><c> was</c><00:35:44.340><c> a</c><00:35:44.519><c> despot.</c>

00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:48.619
A<00:35:46.380><c> man</c><00:35:46.659><c> after</c><00:35:46.920><c> their</c><00:35:47.199><c> own</c><00:35:47.519><c> hearts.</c>

00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:52.559
But<00:35:51.300><c> look</c><00:35:52.119><c> at</c><00:35:52.199><c> this.</c>

00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.800
Then<00:35:53.119><c> said</c><00:35:53.400><c> the</c><00:35:53.599><c> priest.</c><00:35:53.900><c> Oh,</c><00:35:54.420><c> I've</c><00:35:55.000><c> forgotten</c><00:35:55.260><c> the</c><00:35:55.559><c> priest.</c>

00:35:55.820 --> 00:35:57.739
He's<00:35:56.019><c> still</c><00:35:56.340><c> there</c><00:35:56.500><c> with</c><00:35:56.739><c> him,</c><00:35:56.880><c> you</c><00:35:57.079><c> see.</c>

00:35:58.900 --> 00:36:01.760
Let's<00:35:59.460><c> draw</c><00:35:59.780><c> near</c><00:36:00.139><c> hither</c><00:36:00.420><c> unto</c><00:36:00.780><c> God.</c>

00:36:01.820 --> 00:36:03.980
Let's<00:36:01.960><c> just</c><00:36:02.179><c> find</c><00:36:02.380><c> out</c><00:36:02.559><c> what</c><00:36:02.940><c> God</c><00:36:03.139><c> would</c><00:36:03.340><c> say</c><00:36:03.519><c> about</c><00:36:03.739><c> this.</c>

00:36:04.260 --> 00:36:06.820
And<00:36:04.400><c> Saul</c><00:36:04.559><c> asked</c><00:36:04.880><c> counsel</c><00:36:05.260><c> of</c><00:36:05.380><c> God,</c><00:36:05.860><c> Shall</c><00:36:06.039><c> I</c><00:36:06.219><c> go</c><00:36:06.480><c> down</c><00:36:06.659><c> after</c>

00:36:06.820 --> 00:36:07.500
the<00:36:07.059><c> Philistines?</c>

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:10.239
Wilt<00:36:08.059><c> thou</c><00:36:08.380><c> deliver</c><00:36:08.739><c> them</c><00:36:08.880><c> into</c><00:36:09.079><c> the</c><00:36:09.320><c> hand</c><00:36:09.539><c> of</c><00:36:09.679><c> Israel?</c>

00:36:10.539 --> 00:36:15.280
Note<00:36:10.900><c> this,</c><00:36:11.440><c> he</c><00:36:11.840><c> answered</c><00:36:12.380><c> him</c><00:36:12.800><c> not</c><00:36:13.360><c> that</c><00:36:14.000><c> day.</c>

00:36:15.539 --> 00:36:20.239
Silence<00:36:16.099><c> from</c><00:36:16.480><c> God</c><00:36:17.119><c> is</c><00:36:18.539><c> truly</c><00:36:19.079><c> deafening.</c>

00:36:23.980 --> 00:36:29.019
Well,<00:36:26.519><c> that's</c><00:36:26.739><c> if</c><00:36:26.800><c> you</c><00:36:26.960><c> can</c><00:36:27.199><c> hear</c><00:36:27.320><c> in</c><00:36:27.519><c> the</c><00:36:27.659><c> first</c><00:36:27.920><c> place.</c>

00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:34.480
I<00:36:29.840><c> think</c><00:36:30.139><c> Saul</c><00:36:30.719><c> is</c><00:36:31.679><c> proving</c><00:36:31.940><c> to</c><00:36:32.159><c> be</c><00:36:32.340><c> deaf</c><00:36:32.699><c> himself</c><00:36:33.420><c> on</c><00:36:34.099><c> some</c><00:36:34.320><c> of</c>

these<00:36:34.659><c> issues.</c>

00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:38.460

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:49.380

00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:52.519
But<00:39:50.019><c> the</c><00:39:50.320><c> people</c><00:39:50.659><c> knew</c><00:39:51.019><c> differently.</c>

00:39:54.300 --> 00:39:59.780

00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:04.659
Well,<00:40:01.900><c> if</c><00:40:02.019><c> Saul</c><00:40:02.219><c> wasn't</c><00:40:02.559><c> lonely</c><00:40:03.000><c> before</c><00:40:03.500><c> this,</c><00:40:03.840><c> he</c><00:40:03.840><c> must</c><00:40:04.139><c> surely</c><00:40:04.340><c> be</c><00:40:04.519><c> now.</c>

00:40:04.780 --> 00:40:07.480
I<00:40:04.780><c> mean,</c><00:40:05.219><c> everybody</c><00:40:05.699><c> against</c><00:40:06.159><c> him.</c>

00:40:12.340 --> 00:40:17.360
Everything<00:40:12.699><c> in</c><00:40:12.880><c> chapter</c><00:40:13.199><c> 14</c><00:40:13.800><c> hinges</c><00:40:14.440><c> on</c><00:40:14.800><c> a</c><00:40:15.039><c> man's</c><00:40:15.920><c> foolish</c><00:40:16.480><c> decisions.</c>

00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:23.139
Decisions<00:40:18.800><c> made</c><00:40:19.119><c> without</c><00:40:19.519><c> any</c><00:40:20.059><c> regard</c><00:40:20.579><c> for</c><00:40:21.519><c> the</c><00:40:21.780><c> king</c><00:40:22.260><c> above</c><00:40:22.760><c> him.</c>

00:40:23.380 --> 00:40:25.280
That's<00:40:23.739><c> the</c><00:40:23.840><c> thing.</c>

00:40:26.300 --> 00:40:30.920
He's<00:40:26.480><c> a</c><00:40:26.639><c> rebel,</c><00:40:27.840><c> and</c><00:40:27.940><c> he's</c><00:40:28.280><c> paying</c><00:40:28.559><c> a</c><00:40:28.960><c> heavy</c><00:40:29.139><c> price</c><00:40:29.559><c> for</c><00:40:29.820><c> it.</c>

00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:38.840
So<00:40:32.820><c> they</c><00:40:33.260><c> save</c><00:40:33.860><c> Jonathan</c><00:40:34.480><c> from</c><00:40:35.599><c> the</c><00:40:35.900><c> foolhardiness</c><00:40:36.679><c> of</c><00:40:37.980><c> Saul,</c>

00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:41.559

00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:43.780
Now<00:40:41.800><c> look</c><00:40:42.179><c> at</c><00:40:42.400><c> this,</c><00:40:42.880><c> verse</c><00:40:43.019><c> 46.</c>

00:40:44.099 --> 00:40:48.880
Saul<00:40:44.539><c> went</c><00:40:45.059><c> up</c><00:40:45.860><c> from</c><00:40:46.579><c> following</c><00:40:46.980><c> the</c><00:40:47.260><c> Philistines,</c><00:40:48.559><c> and</c><00:40:48.659><c> the</c>

00:40:59.579 --> 00:41:01.059
Big<00:40:59.960><c> mistake.</c>

00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:05.579

But<00:42:08.480><c> look</c><00:42:08.679><c> at</c><00:42:08.860><c> this.</c>

00:42:09.579 --> 00:42:14.780
And<00:42:09.639><c> when</c><00:42:10.119><c> Saul</c><00:42:10.559><c> saw</c><00:42:10.980><c> any</c><00:42:11.760><c> strong</c><00:42:12.300><c> man</c><00:42:12.679><c> or</c><00:42:12.920><c> any</c><00:42:13.320><c> valiant</c><00:42:13.739><c> man,</c>

00:42:15.260 --> 00:42:19.039
he<00:42:15.559><c> took</c><00:42:15.860><c> him</c><00:42:17.179><c> onto</c><00:42:17.760><c> him.</c>

00:42:20.860 --> 00:42:22.920
A<00:42:21.639><c> bodyguard.</c>

00:42:25.059 --> 00:42:28.619
Palace<00:42:25.659><c> chiefs,</c><00:42:26.539><c> palace</c><00:42:26.800><c> soldiers,</c><00:42:27.480><c> whatever.</c>

00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:32.280
This<00:42:28.880><c> man</c><00:42:29.139><c> is</c><00:42:29.420><c> just</c><00:42:29.860><c> picking</c><00:42:30.099><c> them</c><00:42:30.400><c> off</c><00:42:30.679><c> one</c><00:42:30.940><c> at</c><00:42:31.239><c> a</c><00:42:31.360><c> time.</c>

00:42:32.539 --> 00:42:36.639
Building<00:42:32.900><c> around</c><00:42:33.480><c> him</c><00:42:34.320><c> men</c><00:42:35.199><c> of</c><00:42:35.679><c> valor.</c>

00:42:37.860 --> 00:42:41.860
And<00:42:38.039><c> it</c><00:42:38.280><c> builds</c><00:42:38.559><c> up</c><00:42:38.880><c> the</c><00:42:39.159><c> ego</c><00:42:39.539><c> of</c><00:42:39.780><c> this</c><00:42:40.079><c> man,</c><00:42:40.579><c> no</c><00:42:40.800><c> end,</c><00:42:41.460><c> to</c><00:42:41.659><c> have</c>

00:42:41.860 --> 00:42:44.119
these<00:42:42.179><c> people</c><00:42:42.480><c> with</c><00:42:42.760><c> him.</c>

00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:47.960
He's<00:42:46.079><c> not</c><00:42:46.320><c> fit</c><00:42:46.500><c> to</c><00:42:46.659><c> be</c><00:42:46.820><c> a</c><00:42:46.980><c> king.</c>

00:42:48.340 --> 00:42:49.920
Not<00:42:48.559><c> by</c><00:42:48.860><c> any</c><00:42:49.019><c> means.</c>

00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:55.159
So<00:42:51.380><c> you</c><00:42:51.599><c> can</c><00:42:51.880><c> see</c><00:42:52.019><c> here</c><00:42:52.260><c> a</c><00:42:52.400><c> man</c><00:42:52.699><c> who</c><00:42:53.039><c> was</c><00:42:53.460><c> brought</c><00:42:53.980><c> to</c><00:42:54.300><c> power</c><00:42:54.719><c> by</c>

00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:56.920
the<00:42:55.440><c> grace</c><00:42:55.699><c> of</c><00:42:55.960><c> God.</c>

00:42:57.199 --> 00:43:01.340
But<00:42:57.380><c> who</c><00:42:57.599><c> is</c><00:42:57.780><c> now</c><00:42:58.039><c> beginning</c><00:42:58.360><c> to</c><00:42:58.619><c> misuse</c><00:42:59.139><c> his</c><00:42:59.440><c> power</c><00:42:59.760><c> and</c><00:43:00.039><c> his</c><00:43:00.300><c> authority.</c>

00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:05.380
He<00:43:02.360><c> takes</c><00:43:02.639><c> to</c><00:43:02.820><c> himself</c><00:43:03.199><c> any</c><00:43:03.739><c> useful</c><00:43:04.300><c> warrior.</c>

00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:08.000
He<00:43:06.460><c> extends</c><00:43:06.840><c> his</c><00:43:07.219><c> standing</c><00:43:07.619><c> army.</c>

00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:10.199
That's<00:43:08.260><c> where</c><00:43:08.420><c> we</c><00:43:08.639><c> came</c><00:43:08.900><c> in</c><00:43:09.119><c> this</c><00:43:09.360><c> morning.</c>

00:43:10.699 --> 00:43:15.400
And<00:43:11.000><c> guess</c><00:43:11.260><c> who</c><00:43:11.719><c> told</c><00:43:12.340><c> them</c><00:43:12.760><c> that's</c><00:43:13.380><c> just</c><00:43:13.739><c> how</c><00:43:14.000><c> it</c><00:43:14.139><c> would</c><00:43:14.420><c> be?</c>

00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:17.900
Samuel<00:43:16.659><c> in</c><00:43:17.280><c> chapter</c><00:43:17.599><c> 12.</c>

00:43:17.900 --> 00:43:21.119
If<00:43:18.019><c> you've</c><00:43:18.219><c> forgotten,</c><00:43:19.039><c> check</c><00:43:19.320><c> the</c><00:43:19.539><c> chapter.</c>

00:43:21.820 --> 00:43:26.000
Slowly<00:43:22.019><c> but</c><00:43:22.320><c> surely</c><00:43:22.739><c> he</c><00:43:23.199><c> imagines</c><00:43:23.800><c> himself</c><00:43:24.300><c> as</c><00:43:24.599><c> the</c><00:43:24.940><c> sole</c><00:43:25.260><c> king</c><00:43:25.480><c> in</c><00:43:25.639><c> Israel</c>

00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:30.119
with<00:43:26.300><c> very</c><00:43:26.619><c> little</c><00:43:26.860><c> true</c><00:43:27.159><c> reverence</c><00:43:28.260><c> for</c><00:43:28.800><c> the</c><00:43:29.019><c> Lord</c><00:43:29.340><c> who</c><00:43:29.800><c> had</c>

00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:31.480
put<00:43:30.300><c> him</c><00:43:30.519><c> there.</c>

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:35.739
And<00:43:32.239><c> as</c><00:43:32.340><c> I've</c><00:43:32.539><c> said</c><00:43:32.619><c> more</c><00:43:32.880><c> than</c><00:43:33.079><c> once,</c><00:43:33.840><c> he</c><00:43:33.980><c> is</c><00:43:34.199><c> a</c><00:43:34.400><c> man</c><00:43:34.880><c> who</c><00:43:35.300><c> is</c>

00:43:35.739 --> 00:43:38.699
unfit<00:43:37.019><c> to</c><00:43:37.679><c> be</c><00:43:37.940><c> king.</c>

00:43:39.780 --> 00:43:41.940
I<00:43:39.880><c> think</c><00:43:40.000><c> the</c><00:43:40.260><c> writing's</c><00:43:40.579><c> on</c><00:43:40.760><c> the</c><00:43:40.940><c> wall.</c>

00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:44.340
If<00:43:42.599><c> I</c><00:43:42.719><c> might</c><00:43:42.860><c> use</c><00:43:43.099><c> the</c><00:43:43.340><c> Daniel</c><00:43:43.659><c> picture.</c>

00:43:44.340 --> 00:43:52.139
And<00:43:45.599><c> in</c><00:43:45.840><c> due</c><00:43:46.139><c> time</c><00:43:47.039><c> the</c><00:43:48.039><c> kingdom</c><00:43:48.780><c> will</c><00:43:49.760><c> depart</c><00:43:50.119><c> from</c><00:43:50.480><c> him.</c>

00:43:52.460 --> 00:43:55.760
Chapter<00:43:52.760><c> 15</c><00:43:53.539><c> will</c><00:43:54.460><c> seal</c><00:43:54.679><c> the</c><00:43:54.960><c> issue.</c>

00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:19.420
Thank<00:44:18.920><c> you.</c>
