honour<00:05:27.740><c> the</c><00:05:28.079><c> king.</c>

00:05:28.819 --> 00:05:31.579
The<00:05:28.980><c> king</c><00:05:29.240><c> at</c><00:05:29.339><c> the</c><00:05:29.500><c> time</c><00:05:29.740><c> happened</c><00:05:30.000><c> to</c><00:05:30.220><c> be</c><00:05:30.500><c> Emperor</c><00:05:30.980><c> Nero.</c>

00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:38.699
And<00:05:32.240><c> he</c><00:05:33.160><c> was</c><00:05:34.160><c> punching</c><00:05:34.680><c> spikes</c><00:05:35.399><c> through</c><00:05:36.339><c> the</c><00:05:36.579><c> groins</c><00:05:37.420><c> of</c><00:05:37.860><c> Christadelphians</c>

00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:42.160
and<00:05:39.620><c> raising</c><00:05:39.959><c> them</c><00:05:40.259><c> after</c><00:05:40.600><c> having</c><00:05:40.959><c> dipped</c><00:05:41.160><c> them</c><00:05:41.519><c> in</c><00:05:41.699><c> tar</c><00:05:41.959><c> in</c>

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.060
his<00:05:42.519><c> backyard</c>

00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:45.459
and<00:05:43.560><c> lighting</c><00:05:43.800><c> them</c><00:05:44.060><c> up</c><00:05:44.319><c> and</c><00:05:44.480><c> making</c><00:05:44.759><c> them</c><00:05:45.079><c> torches</c>

00:05:45.459 --> 00:05:48.199
so<00:05:45.680><c> he</c><00:05:45.860><c> could</c><00:05:46.079><c> practice</c><00:05:46.480><c> his</c><00:05:46.879><c> chariot</c><00:05:47.279><c> driving.</c>

00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:53.180
And<00:05:49.439><c> Peter</c><00:05:49.759><c> writes</c><00:05:50.139><c> and</c><00:05:50.319><c> says,</c><00:05:51.600><c> honour</c><00:05:51.879><c> the</c><00:05:52.300><c> king.</c>

00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:55.120
So<00:05:53.720><c> we've</c><00:05:53.860><c> got</c><00:05:53.939><c> to</c><00:05:54.060><c> get</c><00:05:54.139><c> an</c><00:05:54.379><c> equilibrium</c><00:05:54.759><c> here.</c>

00:05:55.259 --> 00:05:56.519
You'll<00:05:55.399><c> notice</c><00:05:55.500><c> I</c><00:05:55.620><c> didn't</c><00:05:55.839><c> say</c><00:05:56.060><c> balance</c>

00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.639
because<00:05:57.220><c> there</c><00:05:57.480><c> are</c><00:05:57.500><c> some</c><00:05:57.660><c> in</c><00:05:57.759><c> this</c><00:05:57.939><c> audience</c><00:05:58.259><c> who</c><00:05:58.519><c> think</c>

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.740
that<00:05:58.759><c> when</c><00:05:58.879><c> we</c><00:05:59.060><c> use</c><00:05:59.259><c> the</c><00:05:59.319><c> term</c><00:05:59.579><c> balance</c><00:06:00.019><c> we</c><00:06:00.259><c> mean</c><00:06:00.540><c> compromise.</c>

00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:03.519
So<00:06:02.259><c> I</c><00:06:02.360><c> don't</c><00:06:02.540><c> use</c><00:06:02.819><c> the</c><00:06:02.899><c> term</c><00:06:03.139><c> balance.</c>

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.180
But<00:06:03.699><c> we</c><00:06:03.860><c> are</c><00:06:04.060><c> talking</c><00:06:04.300><c> about</c><00:06:04.500><c> getting</c><00:06:04.759><c> an</c><00:06:05.139><c> equilibrium.</c>

00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:10.579
An<00:06:07.079><c> equilibrium</c><00:06:07.540><c> giving</c><00:06:08.420><c> due</c><00:06:08.740><c> place</c><00:06:09.379><c> to</c><00:06:09.759><c> all</c><00:06:10.079><c> the</c><00:06:10.279><c> scriptures.</c>

00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:12.740
And<00:06:10.839><c> the</c><00:06:10.980><c> same</c><00:06:11.199><c> principle</c><00:06:11.540><c> applies</c><00:06:12.040><c> to</c><00:06:12.220><c> what</c><00:06:12.360><c> our</c><00:06:12.579><c> brethren</c>

00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:13.560
have<00:06:12.920><c> been</c><00:06:13.100><c> talking</c><00:06:13.339><c> about</c>

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.060
in<00:06:13.699><c> terms</c><00:06:13.980><c> of</c><00:06:14.199><c> Judaism.</c>

00:06:15.139 --> 00:06:17.480
Our<00:06:15.720><c> brethren</c><00:06:15.899><c> have</c><00:06:16.079><c> been</c><00:06:16.279><c> talking</c><00:06:16.500><c> about</c><00:06:16.759><c> we</c><00:06:16.899><c> shouldn't</c><00:06:17.180><c> be</c>

00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:18.220
ticking<00:06:17.620><c> off</c><00:06:17.939><c> boxes</c>

00:06:18.220 --> 00:06:20.180
and<00:06:18.439><c> we</c><00:06:18.540><c> shouldn't</c><00:06:19.500><c> live</c><00:06:19.620><c> by</c><00:06:19.920><c> law.</c>

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:21.980
So<00:06:20.439><c> it</c><00:06:20.620><c> is</c><00:06:20.899><c> the</c><00:06:21.100><c> case.</c>

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.000
But<00:06:22.240><c> if</c><00:06:22.439><c> our</c><00:06:22.699><c> ecclesias</c><00:06:23.220><c> don't</c><00:06:23.560><c> have,</c><00:06:23.939><c> like</c><00:06:24.199><c> our</c><00:06:24.519><c> families</c>

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:26.000

00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:34.980
if<00:06:31.699><c> there</c><00:06:31.920><c> are</c><00:06:32.060><c> no</c><00:06:32.420><c> standards</c><00:06:33.000><c> then</c><00:06:33.699><c> our</c><00:06:33.959><c> families</c><00:06:34.439><c> and</c><00:06:34.740><c> our</c>

00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:36.980
ecclesias<00:06:35.480><c> will</c><00:06:35.740><c> fall</c><00:06:36.019><c> apart.</c>

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.160
We<00:06:37.420><c> don't</c><00:06:37.740><c> tick</c><00:06:38.019><c> the</c><00:06:38.240><c> boxes</c><00:06:38.660><c> because</c><00:06:39.079><c> we've</c><00:06:39.399><c> got</c><00:06:39.720><c> standards</c>

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:41.160
in<00:06:40.379><c> ecclesial</c><00:06:40.839><c> life.</c>

00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.079
We<00:06:41.819><c> have</c><00:06:42.060><c> those</c><00:06:42.420><c> standards</c><00:06:42.920><c> because</c><00:06:43.660><c> we</c><00:06:43.959><c> want</c><00:06:44.180><c> our</c><00:06:44.540><c> children</c>

00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.620

00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.079
That's<00:06:53.639><c> why</c><00:06:53.879><c> the</c><00:06:54.079><c> ecclesia</c><00:06:54.459><c> I</c><00:06:54.740><c> come</c><00:06:55.040><c> from</c><00:06:55.439><c> treasures</c><00:06:56.139><c> its</c><00:06:57.060><c> standards</c>

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.040
So<00:07:12.120><c> brethren</c><00:07:12.259><c> and</c><00:07:12.379><c> sisters,</c><00:07:12.680><c> we're</c><00:07:12.860><c> not</c><00:07:13.279><c> saying</c><00:07:13.639><c> when</c><00:07:13.819><c> we're</c>

00:07:20.939 --> 00:07:24.420
So<00:07:21.100><c> we</c><00:07:21.199><c> need</c><00:07:21.399><c> to</c><00:07:21.500><c> have</c><00:07:21.660><c> an</c><00:07:21.879><c> equilibrium</c><00:07:22.360><c> in</c><00:07:22.800><c> our</c><00:07:23.000><c> understanding</c><00:07:23.620><c> of</c><00:07:23.879><c> these</c><00:07:24.060><c> things</c>

This<00:07:30.160><c> morning</c><00:07:30.360><c> I</c><00:07:30.439><c> want</c><00:07:30.620><c> to</c><00:07:30.740><c> talk</c><00:07:30.959><c> about</c><00:07:31.279><c> this</c><00:07:31.579><c> matter</c><00:07:31.839><c> of</c><00:07:32.199><c> respect</c><00:07:32.600><c> of</c><00:07:33.120><c> persons.</c>

00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:03.799
This<00:15:00.700><c> is</c><00:15:01.019><c> the</c><00:15:01.059><c> overarching</c><00:15:01.700><c> principle</c><00:15:02.379><c> that</c><00:15:03.019><c> governs</c><00:15:03.559><c> this</c>

And<00:23:20.819><c> that's</c><00:23:20.960><c> what</c><00:23:21.200><c> society</c><00:23:21.660><c> does,</c><00:23:22.640><c> isn't</c><00:23:22.779><c> it?</c>

00:23:23.460 --> 00:23:28.799
The<00:23:23.900><c> three</c><00:23:24.079><c> unclean</c><00:23:24.579><c> spirits</c><00:23:24.960><c> like</c><00:23:25.420><c> frogs</c><00:23:25.839><c> show</c><00:23:26.420><c> favor</c><00:23:27.200><c> to</c><00:23:27.660><c> underdogs.</c>

00:23:29.339 --> 00:23:31.359
That's<00:23:29.640><c> not</c><00:23:29.799><c> the</c><00:23:29.920><c> way</c><00:23:30.079><c> God</c><00:23:30.279><c> operates.</c>

00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:35.079
In<00:23:31.640><c> fact,</c><00:23:31.819><c> he</c><00:23:31.960><c> uses</c><00:23:32.420><c> their</c><00:23:32.859><c> folly</c><00:23:33.579><c> to</c><00:23:34.259><c> bring</c><00:23:34.420><c> the</c><00:23:34.640><c> nations</c>

00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:38.720
to<00:23:35.420><c> the</c><00:23:35.640><c> great</c><00:23:35.900><c> day</c><00:23:36.319><c> of</c><00:23:36.519><c> the</c><00:23:36.720><c> battle</c><00:23:37.019><c> of</c><00:23:37.279><c> God</c><00:23:37.680><c> Almighty.</c>

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.619
And<00:23:39.519><c> that's</c><00:23:39.880><c> not</c><00:23:40.160><c> too</c><00:23:40.480><c> far</c><00:23:40.740><c> away.</c>

00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:43.920
So<00:23:41.960><c> you</c><00:23:42.019><c> get</c><00:23:42.140><c> a</c><00:23:42.200><c> bit</c><00:23:42.299><c> of</c><00:23:42.500><c> a</c><00:23:42.640><c> feel</c><00:23:42.839><c> for</c><00:23:43.059><c> the</c><00:23:43.119><c> way</c><00:23:43.339><c> God</c><00:23:43.579><c> feels</c>

00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:44.420
about<00:23:44.200><c> this,</c>

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:45.640
brethren<00:23:44.660><c> and</c><00:23:44.819><c> sisters.</c>

00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:50.299
We<00:23:45.920><c> must</c><00:23:46.259><c> show</c><00:23:47.019><c> truth,</c><00:23:48.019><c> righteousness,</c><00:23:48.859><c> integrity,</c><00:23:49.559><c> and</c><00:23:49.759><c> honesty</c>

00:23:50.299 --> 00:23:53.440
in<00:23:50.839><c> our</c><00:23:51.140><c> dealings</c><00:23:51.500><c> with</c><00:23:51.680><c> each</c><00:23:51.940><c> other,</c><00:23:52.480><c> with</c><00:23:52.680><c> the</c><00:23:52.880><c> rich</c><00:23:53.160><c> and</c>

00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:53.940
the<00:23:53.720><c> poor.</c>

00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:57.359
We<00:23:54.460><c> must</c><00:23:55.000><c> not</c><00:23:55.740><c> respect</c><00:23:56.420><c> faces.</c>

00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:59.460
We've<00:23:57.619><c> got</c><00:23:57.700><c> to</c><00:23:57.859><c> show</c><00:23:58.099><c> honor</c><00:23:58.299><c> where</c><00:23:58.599><c> honor</c><00:23:58.900><c> is</c><00:23:59.200><c> due,</c>

00:23:59.859 --> 00:24:02.880
and<00:24:00.039><c> even</c><00:24:00.200><c> sometimes</c><00:24:00.559><c> where</c><00:24:00.759><c> it's</c><00:24:00.920><c> not</c><00:24:01.259><c> due,</c><00:24:02.039><c> such</c><00:24:02.180><c> as</c><00:24:02.440><c> for</c><00:24:02.519><c> Nero.</c>

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:09.420
But<00:24:03.779><c> we</c><00:24:04.119><c> must</c><00:24:04.660><c> not</c><00:24:05.640><c> twist</c><00:24:06.420><c> the</c><00:24:06.880><c> principles</c><00:24:07.359><c> of</c><00:24:07.700><c> God</c><00:24:08.119><c> in</c><00:24:08.859><c> so</c><00:24:09.119><c> doing.</c>

00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:11.819
That<00:24:10.259><c> is</c><00:24:10.599><c> what</c><00:24:10.759><c> this</c><00:24:11.000><c> is</c><00:24:11.180><c> teaching</c><00:24:11.420><c> us.</c>

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:13.660
You<00:24:12.299><c> know,</c><00:24:12.460><c> in</c><00:24:12.720><c> society</c><00:24:13.259><c> today,</c>

00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:15.980
they<00:24:13.819><c> have</c><00:24:13.980><c> what's</c><00:24:14.240><c> called</c><00:24:14.619><c> positive</c><00:24:15.200><c> discrimination.</c>

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:17.180
Have<00:24:16.460><c> you</c><00:24:16.500><c> heard</c><00:24:16.680><c> about</c><00:24:16.900><c> that?</c>

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:18.440
I<00:24:17.660><c> think</c><00:24:17.740><c> it's</c><00:24:17.900><c> very</c><00:24:18.099><c> negative.</c>

00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:20.640
They<00:24:18.960><c> call</c><00:24:19.200><c> it</c><00:24:19.420><c> positive</c><00:24:19.980><c> discrimination.</c>

00:24:20.900 --> 00:24:23.640
They<00:24:21.119><c> talk</c><00:24:21.319><c> about</c><00:24:21.640><c> women</c><00:24:22.039><c> in</c><00:24:22.559><c> the</c><00:24:22.759><c> workplace</c><00:24:23.099><c> that</c><00:24:23.400><c> have</c><00:24:23.460><c> got</c>

00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:26.700

00:24:30.740 --> 00:24:31.539
You<00:24:30.900><c> heard</c><00:24:31.019><c> about</c><00:24:31.240><c> this?</c>

00:24:31.539 --> 00:24:32.980
Happens<00:24:32.160><c> in</c><00:24:32.240><c> your</c><00:24:32.460><c> society?</c>

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:35.140
Well,<00:24:33.740><c> it</c><00:24:33.880><c> happens</c><00:24:34.079><c> in</c><00:24:34.339><c> mine.</c>

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:38.940
One<00:24:35.819><c> of</c><00:24:35.940><c> the</c><00:24:36.099><c> things</c><00:24:36.319><c> that</c><00:24:36.619><c> used</c><00:24:36.619><c> to</c><00:24:37.000><c> cause</c><00:24:37.180><c> me</c><00:24:37.460><c> so</c><00:24:37.559><c> much</c><00:24:38.019><c> heartache</c><00:24:38.380><c> at</c><00:24:38.660><c> work</c>

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:40.859
is<00:24:39.359><c> this</c><00:24:39.680><c> positive</c><00:24:40.200><c> discrimination.</c>

00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:42.019
I<00:24:41.059><c> was</c><00:24:41.200><c> in</c><00:24:41.380><c> Human</c><00:24:41.539><c> Resources.</c>

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:45.480
They're<00:24:42.539><c> asking</c><00:24:42.880><c> me</c><00:24:43.420><c> to</c><00:24:43.660><c> implement</c><00:24:44.039><c> positive</c><00:24:44.720><c> discrimination.</c>

00:24:45.779 --> 00:24:47.079
Wrong<00:24:46.059><c> guy.</c>

00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:49.539
Okay?

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:52.559
Henry<00:24:50.619><c> knows</c><00:24:50.859><c> about</c><00:24:51.160><c> it,</c><00:24:51.599><c> doesn't</c><00:24:51.779><c> he?</c>

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:54.279
He<00:24:52.920><c> knows</c><00:24:53.140><c> all</c><00:24:53.400><c> about</c><00:24:53.640><c> it.</c>

00:24:54.359 --> 00:24:56.099
He<00:24:54.599><c> was</c><00:24:54.740><c> in</c><00:24:54.900><c> Human</c><00:24:55.099><c> Resources.</c>

00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:58.220
So<00:24:57.160><c> this</c><00:24:57.380><c> is</c><00:24:57.640><c> society.</c>

00:24:58.220 --> 00:25:01.380
Positive<00:24:59.279><c> discrimination</c><00:25:00.200><c> to</c><00:25:00.420><c> the</c><00:25:00.680><c> underdog</c>

00:25:01.380 --> 00:25:04.460

00:25:04.460 --> 00:25:07.319
because<00:25:04.819><c> they</c><00:25:05.099><c> happen</c><00:25:05.299><c> to</c><00:25:05.480><c> have</c><00:25:05.680><c> power</c><00:25:06.019><c> or</c><00:25:06.359><c> money.</c>

00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:09.960
That<00:25:07.819><c> is</c><00:25:08.240><c> what</c><00:25:08.500><c> God</c><00:25:08.960><c> hates.</c>

00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.940
He<00:25:10.259><c> hates</c><00:25:10.559><c> it</c><00:25:11.019><c> because</c><00:25:11.500><c> it</c><00:25:11.779><c> twists</c><00:25:12.220><c> and</c><00:25:13.099><c> perverts</c><00:25:13.599><c> his</c><00:25:14.220><c> characteristics,</c>

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.279
and<00:25:15.440><c> he</c><00:25:15.579><c> wants</c><00:25:15.839><c> to</c><00:25:16.160><c> see</c><00:25:16.359><c> his</c><00:25:16.819><c> characteristics</c><00:25:17.440><c> in</c><00:25:17.880><c> us.</c>

00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:20.680
Deuteronomy<00:25:19.039><c> chapter</c><00:25:19.400><c> 1.</c>

00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.559
What<00:25:21.299><c> is</c><00:25:21.519><c> the</c><00:25:21.720><c> motivation</c><00:25:22.279><c> for</c><00:25:22.500><c> the</c><00:25:22.660><c> respect</c><00:25:23.079><c> of</c><00:25:23.339><c> persons?</c>

00:25:23.619 --> 00:25:25.099
What<00:25:23.759><c> does</c><00:25:23.900><c> the</c><00:25:24.079><c> scripture</c><00:25:24.339><c> say</c><00:25:24.720><c> about</c><00:25:25.019><c> it?</c>

00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:26.400
Let's<00:25:25.299><c> have</c><00:25:25.500><c> a</c><00:25:25.619><c> look.</c>

00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:28.839

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:32.640
This<00:25:29.180><c> is</c><00:25:29.420><c> why</c><00:25:29.599><c> human</c><00:25:29.880><c> beings</c><00:25:30.480><c> show</c><00:25:31.019><c> respect</c><00:25:31.500><c> of</c><00:25:31.680><c> persons.</c>

And<00:25:35.619><c> I</c><00:25:35.859><c> charged</c><00:25:36.220><c> your</c><00:25:36.500><c> judges</c><00:25:36.819><c> at</c><00:25:37.039><c> that</c><00:25:37.299><c> time,</c><00:25:37.619><c> says</c><00:25:37.779><c> Moses,</c><00:25:38.380><c> saying,</c>

How<00:39:02.619><c> would</c><00:39:02.699><c> you</c><00:39:02.760><c> like</c><00:39:02.900><c> your</c><00:39:03.079><c> older</c><00:39:03.260><c> brother</c><00:39:03.480><c> to</c><00:39:03.679><c> make</c><00:39:03.780><c> that</c><00:39:04.000><c> kind</c><00:39:04.199><c> of</c>

00:39:07.300 --> 00:39:10.460
So<00:39:07.440><c> you</c><00:39:07.440><c> see,</c><00:39:07.900><c> David</c><00:39:07.980><c> was</c><00:39:08.159><c> even</c><00:39:08.460><c> despised</c><00:39:08.940><c> by</c><00:39:09.159><c> his</c><00:39:09.260><c> own</c><00:39:09.539><c> family.</c>

00:39:10.820 --> 00:39:15.360
And<00:39:10.960><c> I've</c><00:39:11.280><c> heard</c><00:39:11.440><c> it</c><00:39:11.719><c> put</c><00:39:11.920><c> forth</c><00:39:12.699><c> pretty,</c><00:39:13.380><c> I</c><00:39:13.820><c> think,</c><00:39:14.320><c> convincingly,</c>

00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:19.019
though<00:39:15.679><c> I</c><00:39:15.780><c> haven't</c><00:39:15.980><c> had</c><00:39:16.219><c> time</c><00:39:17.079><c> to</c><00:39:17.719><c> fully</c><00:39:18.039><c> follow</c><00:39:18.380><c> it</c><00:39:18.719><c> through.</c>

00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:21.179
I've<00:39:19.679><c> heard</c><00:39:19.760><c> it</c><00:39:20.000><c> put</c><00:39:20.099><c> forth</c><00:39:20.519><c> convincingly</c>

00:39:21.179 --> 00:39:25.179
that<00:39:21.320><c> there</c><00:39:21.380><c> were</c><00:39:21.679><c> some</c><00:39:22.539><c> difficult</c><00:39:23.119><c> circumstances</c><00:39:23.880><c> in</c><00:39:24.239><c> David's</c><00:39:24.699><c> birth</c>

00:39:25.179 --> 00:39:28.440

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:38.000
a<00:39:34.500><c> little</c><00:39:34.639><c> bit</c><00:39:34.820><c> like</c><00:39:35.079><c> Jephthah</c><00:39:35.920><c> in</c><00:39:36.280><c> Judges</c><00:39:36.639><c> chapter</c><00:39:36.980><c> 11.</c>

00:39:38.420 --> 00:39:39.260
Okay?

00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:41.760
Now,<00:39:39.880><c> you</c><00:39:40.119><c> can</c><00:39:40.739><c> look</c><00:39:40.920><c> at</c><00:39:41.039><c> that</c><00:39:41.179><c> yourself.</c>

Don't<00:39:42.400><c> come</c><00:39:42.519><c> and</c><00:39:42.679><c> ask</c><00:39:42.800><c> me,</c><00:39:43.139><c> ask</c><00:39:43.360><c> Tim</c><00:39:43.619><c> Osborne.</c>

00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:49.820
Now,<00:39:47.480><c> he</c><00:39:47.519><c> heard</c><00:39:47.739><c> of</c><00:39:47.880><c> the</c><00:39:48.039><c> black</c><00:39:48.179><c> mice,</c><00:39:48.820><c> so</c><00:39:48.940><c> he</c><00:39:49.039><c> knows.</c>

00:39:50.659 --> 00:39:51.000
Okay?

00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:55.099
So<00:39:51.500><c> this</c><00:39:52.139><c> background</c><00:39:52.719><c> of</c><00:39:53.079><c> David,</c><00:39:53.500><c> he's</c><00:39:53.659><c> got</c><00:39:53.800><c> some</c><00:39:54.320><c> kind</c><00:39:54.579><c> of</c><00:39:54.739><c> dubious...</c>

00:39:55.099 --> 00:39:56.699
He's<00:39:55.440><c> not</c><00:39:55.659><c> even</c><00:39:56.280><c> invited.</c>

00:39:56.780 --> 00:39:59.320
He's<00:39:56.980><c> one</c><00:39:57.159><c> of</c><00:39:57.300><c> the</c><00:39:57.420><c> eight</c><00:39:57.579><c> sons</c><00:39:57.800><c> of</c><00:39:58.059><c> Jesse,</c><00:39:58.699><c> but</c><00:39:58.800><c> he's</c><00:39:59.000><c> out</c><00:39:59.179><c> in</c>

00:39:59.320 --> 00:39:59.940
the<00:39:59.420><c> hillside.</c>

00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:03.420
When<00:40:00.579><c> Samuel</c><00:40:00.820><c> turns</c><00:40:01.139><c> up</c><00:40:01.699><c> and</c><00:40:02.099><c> Samuel</c><00:40:02.480><c> says,</c>

00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:05.300
is<00:40:04.059><c> this</c><00:40:04.239><c> all</c><00:40:04.400><c> you've</c><00:40:04.619><c> got?</c>

00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:17.119
He<00:40:13.300><c> said,</c><00:40:13.519><c> we're</c><00:40:13.539><c> not</c><00:40:13.760><c> eating</c><00:40:14.440><c> until</c><00:40:15.480><c> you</c><00:40:15.599><c> get</c><00:40:15.800><c> him</c><00:40:15.960><c> here.</c>
