00:33:05.710 --> 00:33:10.970

00:33:28.049 --> 00:33:31.109

00:33:33.130 --> 00:33:38.609
Joab<00:33:33.609><c> clearly</c><00:33:34.089><c> has</c><00:33:35.869><c> perceived</c><00:33:36.430><c> the</c><00:33:36.710><c> concern</c><00:33:37.190><c> of</c><00:33:37.390><c> the</c><00:33:37.569><c> king,</c>

there's<00:33:42.849><c> nothing</c><00:33:43.230><c> that</c><00:33:43.470><c> would</c><00:33:43.730><c> perturb</c><00:33:44.009><c> him</c><00:33:44.210><c> more</c>

00:33:50.130 --> 00:33:55.190
Why,<00:33:50.289><c> he's</c><00:33:50.410><c> just</c><00:33:50.630><c> been</c><00:33:50.750><c> in</c><00:33:50.869><c> the</c><00:33:51.089><c> pocket</c><00:33:51.269><c> of</c><00:33:51.450><c> Adonijah.</c><00:33:53.529><c> He's</c><00:33:53.890><c> just</c><00:33:54.069><c> tried</c><00:33:54.230><c> to</c><00:33:54.470><c> set</c><00:33:54.569><c> up</c><00:33:54.910><c> a</c>

00:33:56.250 --> 00:33:58.549
if<00:33:56.369><c> it's</c><00:33:56.589><c> not</c><00:33:56.789><c> just</c><00:33:57.069><c> before</c><00:33:57.390><c> then,</c><00:33:57.569><c> it's</c><00:33:57.750><c> just</c><00:33:58.049><c> after,</c><00:33:58.430><c> it's</c>

00:34:02.269 --> 00:34:04.849
So<00:34:02.789><c> verse</c><00:34:03.049><c> three</c><00:34:03.349><c> shines</c><00:34:03.730><c> in</c><00:34:03.890><c> a</c><00:34:04.009><c> different</c><00:34:04.289><c> light</c><00:34:04.549><c> when</c><00:34:04.690><c> you</c>

00:34:07.730 --> 00:34:09.989
That's<00:34:07.990><c> not</c><00:34:08.190><c> a</c><00:34:08.449><c> statement</c><00:34:08.670><c> of</c><00:34:08.869><c> fidelity,</c><00:34:09.369><c> it's</c><00:34:09.630><c> a</c><00:34:09.789><c> statement</c>

of<00:34:10.389><c> absolute</c><00:34:10.750><c> treachery.</c>

00:34:13.469 --> 00:34:15.750
Joab<00:34:13.469><c> doesn't</c><00:34:13.710><c> mean</c><00:34:13.849><c> a</c><00:34:14.090><c> word</c><00:34:14.269><c> of</c><00:34:14.429><c> that,</c><00:34:14.670><c> because</c><00:34:14.869><c> Joab</c><00:34:15.110><c> is</c><00:34:15.309><c> setting</c><00:34:15.469><c> the</c>
