00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:54.600
the<00:12:52.340><c> separation</c><00:12:52.799><c> of</c><00:12:52.980><c> the</c><00:12:53.259><c> ark</c><00:12:53.559><c> from</c><00:12:53.799><c> the</c><00:12:54.039><c> tabernacle.</c>

00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.960
How<00:12:55.039><c> could</c><00:12:55.200><c> the</c><00:12:55.419><c> tabernacle</c><00:12:55.820><c> exist</c><00:12:56.179><c> without</c><00:12:56.460><c> the</c><00:12:56.740><c> ark?</c>

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:59.279
And<00:12:57.299><c> how</c><00:12:57.460><c> could</c><00:12:57.580><c> the</c><00:12:57.820><c> ark</c><00:12:58.000><c> exist</c><00:12:58.379><c> without</c><00:12:58.639><c> the</c><00:12:58.840><c> tabernacle?</c>

00:12:59.299 --> 00:13:00.740
But<00:12:59.419><c> they</c><00:12:59.639><c> did.</c>

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:06.440
And<00:13:01.659><c> even</c><00:13:01.779><c> during</c><00:13:02.039><c> the</c><00:13:02.220><c> lifetime</c><00:13:02.740><c> of</c><00:13:03.019><c> David,</c><00:13:03.519><c> there</c><00:13:03.580><c> was</c><00:13:03.759><c> never</c><00:13:04.139><c> complete</c><00:13:04.519><c> unity</c><00:13:04.879><c> between</c><00:13:05.200><c> these</c><00:13:05.480><c> two.</c>

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.639
And<00:13:07.019><c> so</c><00:13:07.139><c> it</c><00:13:07.279><c> seems</c><00:13:07.559><c> that</c><00:13:07.779><c> in</c><00:13:08.000><c> some</c><00:13:08.220><c> way,</c><00:13:08.679><c> either</c><00:13:08.940><c> because</c><00:13:09.320><c> of</c>

the<00:13:09.940><c> weakness</c><00:13:10.240><c> of</c><00:13:10.460><c> the</c><00:13:10.639><c> flesh</c><00:13:10.779><c> of</c><00:13:11.019><c> men,</c>

00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:15.600
and<00:13:13.179><c> I</c><00:13:13.240><c> think</c><00:13:13.340><c> that</c><00:13:13.600><c> probably</c><00:13:13.879><c> is</c><00:13:14.220><c> the</c><00:13:14.299><c> real</c><00:13:14.539><c> reason,</c>

00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.600
and<00:13:16.080><c> not</c><00:13:16.340><c> because</c><00:13:16.860><c> the</c><00:13:17.139><c> revelation</c><00:13:17.679><c> is</c><00:13:18.659><c> progressive</c><00:13:19.100><c> and</c><00:13:19.460><c> not</c>

00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:20.159
yet<00:13:19.820><c> complete.</c>

00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.440
I<00:13:20.299><c> think</c><00:13:20.419><c> it's</c><00:13:20.639><c> the</c><00:13:20.759><c> weakness</c><00:13:21.000><c> of</c><00:13:21.200><c> men.</c><00:13:21.639><c> The</c><00:13:21.720><c> word</c><00:13:21.919><c> was</c><00:13:22.220><c> there</c>

00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:23.580
as<00:13:22.600><c> to</c><00:13:22.620><c> what</c><00:13:22.759><c> they</c><00:13:22.940><c> should</c><00:13:23.039><c> have</c><00:13:23.200><c> done.</c>

00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:27.659
But<00:13:24.299><c> the</c><00:13:24.559><c> men</c><00:13:24.899><c> were</c><00:13:25.399><c> not</c><00:13:25.539><c> able</c><00:13:25.700><c> to</c><00:13:25.899><c> accomplish</c><00:13:26.220><c> it,</c><00:13:26.480><c> not</c><00:13:26.659><c> even</c><00:13:26.860><c> David.</c>

00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.519
I<00:13:27.919><c> think</c><00:13:28.039><c> we</c><00:13:28.220><c> ought</c><00:13:28.320><c> perhaps</c><00:13:28.679><c> to</c><00:13:29.059><c> try</c><00:13:29.279><c> to</c><00:13:29.519><c> understand</c><00:13:29.820><c> something</c><00:13:30.159><c> of</c><00:13:30.340><c> what</c>

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.899
David<00:13:30.700><c> was</c><00:13:30.940><c> doing</c><00:13:31.240><c> in</c><00:13:32.059><c> welding</c><00:13:32.340><c> together</c><00:13:32.799><c> a</c><00:13:33.039><c> kingdom.</c>

00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.379
This<00:13:34.059><c> had</c><00:13:34.179><c> never</c><00:13:34.340><c> been</c><00:13:34.519><c> done</c><00:13:34.659><c> before</c><00:13:35.059><c> as</c><00:13:35.259><c> David</c><00:13:35.539><c> was</c><00:13:35.720><c> to</c><00:13:35.879><c> do</c><00:13:36.000><c> it.</c>

00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.159
And<00:13:36.779><c> we</c><00:13:36.940><c> shall</c><00:13:37.120><c> see</c><00:13:37.539><c> that</c><00:13:37.759><c> as</c><00:13:38.059><c> the</c><00:13:38.220><c> centre</c><00:13:38.440><c> of</c><00:13:38.620><c> David's</c><00:13:39.039><c> life</c>

00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.799
is<00:13:39.440><c> God,</c><00:13:40.259><c> so</c><00:13:40.440><c> the</c><00:13:40.600><c> centre</c><00:13:40.820><c> of</c><00:13:40.960><c> his</c><00:13:41.179><c> kingdom</c><00:13:41.399><c> becomes</c><00:13:41.779><c> God.</c>

00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:46.220
That<00:13:43.100><c> could</c><00:13:43.259><c> never</c><00:13:43.440><c> have</c><00:13:43.600><c> been</c><00:13:43.740><c> said</c><00:13:43.899><c> of</c><00:13:44.139><c> Saul.</c><00:13:44.940><c> His</c><00:13:45.100><c> javelin</c>

00:13:46.220 --> 00:13:48.399

00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.700
But<00:13:49.159><c> David</c><00:13:49.320><c> considered</c><00:13:49.679><c> himself</c><00:13:50.279><c> to</c><00:13:50.840><c> be</c><00:13:51.039><c> anointed</c><00:13:51.279><c> of</c><00:13:51.480><c> God,</c>

00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:52.600

00:13:57.940 --> 00:14:01.480

00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:08.080

00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:22.900
Now<00:20:16.000><c> if</c><00:20:16.119><c> we</c><00:20:16.220><c> go</c><00:20:16.319><c> to</c><00:20:16.480><c> Joshua</c><00:20:16.819><c> chapter</c><00:20:17.160><c> 21,</c><00:20:21.400><c> this</c><00:20:21.859><c> chain</c><00:20:22.299><c> is</c>

00:20:27.339 --> 00:20:33.839

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:06.019
They<00:21:02.779><c> had</c><00:21:02.960><c> certain</c><00:21:03.259><c> cities,</c><00:21:03.579><c> we</c><00:21:03.720><c> go</c><00:21:03.900><c> through</c><00:21:04.099><c> them</c><00:21:04.279><c> there,</c><00:21:05.259><c> right</c><00:21:05.539><c> down</c><00:21:05.839><c> to</c>

00:21:06.019 --> 00:21:07.839

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:17.940

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:23.839
Now<00:21:18.799><c> Gath</c><00:21:19.519><c> is</c><00:21:20.980><c> the</c><00:21:21.200><c> origin</c><00:21:21.839><c> of</c><00:21:22.740><c> Gittites,</c>

and<00:21:25.099><c> the</c><00:21:25.299><c> ark</c><00:21:25.500><c> was</c><00:21:25.759><c> turned</c><00:21:26.039><c> aside</c><00:21:26.500><c> into</c><00:21:26.779><c> the</c><00:21:26.980><c> house</c><00:21:27.259><c> of</c><00:21:28.400><c> Obedidum,</c><00:21:31.940><c> the</c><00:21:32.220><c> Gittites.</c>

00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:38.259
And<00:21:34.759><c> so</c><00:21:34.960><c> it</c><00:21:35.079><c> is</c><00:21:35.460><c> that</c><00:21:35.759><c> there</c><00:21:36.059><c> now</c><00:21:36.259><c> is</c><00:21:36.559><c> a</c><00:21:36.779><c> link</c><00:21:37.119><c> between</c><00:21:37.660><c> the</c><00:21:37.799><c> very</c><00:21:38.039><c> man</c>

to<00:21:38.440><c> whom</c><00:21:38.539><c> they</c><00:21:38.779><c> commit</c><00:21:39.019><c> the</c><00:21:39.339><c> ark</c>

00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:42.200

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:44.960
And<00:21:43.079><c> when</c><00:21:43.160><c> we</c><00:21:43.279><c> read</c><00:21:43.400><c> the</c><00:21:43.539><c> record</c><00:21:43.799><c> of</c><00:21:44.039><c> Chronicles,</c><00:21:44.480><c> it's</c><00:21:44.660><c> quite</c>

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.920
clear<00:21:45.339><c> that</c><00:21:45.519><c> both</c><00:21:45.779><c> David</c><00:21:46.119><c> and</c><00:21:46.319><c> all</c><00:21:46.500><c> the</c><00:21:46.680><c> people</c><00:21:46.900><c> came</c><00:21:47.099><c> to</c><00:21:47.359><c> realize</c>

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.900
that<00:21:48.380><c> God</c><00:21:48.640><c> smote</c><00:21:49.180><c> others</c><00:21:49.480><c> because</c><00:21:50.299><c> they</c><00:21:50.440><c> had</c><00:21:50.700><c> not</c><00:21:51.059><c> sought</c><00:21:51.359><c> God</c>

00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:54.680

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:56.299
That's<00:21:55.220><c> the</c><00:21:55.339><c> reason.</c>

00:21:57.259 --> 00:21:59.559
So<00:21:57.500><c> it</c><00:21:57.640><c> is</c><00:21:57.819><c> that</c><00:21:57.920><c> from</c><00:21:58.099><c> this</c><00:21:58.299><c> time,</c><00:21:58.460><c> and</c><00:21:58.599><c> there</c><00:21:58.720><c> are</c><00:21:58.839><c> other</c><00:21:58.960><c> verses</c><00:21:59.220><c> which</c><00:21:59.400><c> one</c>

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:06.640

the<00:22:10.680><c> ark.</c>

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:14.920
So<00:22:11.660><c> David</c><00:22:11.880><c> has</c><00:22:12.079><c> learned</c><00:22:12.200><c> his</c><00:22:12.400><c> lesson,</c><00:22:13.799><c> and</c><00:22:14.220><c> they</c><00:22:14.420><c> do</c><00:22:14.619><c> bring</c><00:22:14.740><c> up</c>

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:15.980

00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:26.579
As<00:22:24.779><c> soon</c><00:22:24.920><c> as</c><00:22:25.039><c> the</c><00:22:25.180><c> ark</c><00:22:25.279><c> went</c><00:22:25.500><c> into</c><00:22:25.680><c> the</c><00:22:25.819><c> house</c><00:22:25.960><c> of</c><00:22:26.160><c> Obedidum</c>

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:41.079
When<00:22:39.299><c> it's</c><00:22:39.500><c> with</c><00:22:39.640><c> the</c><00:22:39.759><c> right</c><00:22:39.960><c> man,</c><00:22:40.579><c> the</c><00:22:40.680><c> Lord</c><00:22:40.859><c> blesses.</c>

00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:44.819

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:40.160
I<00:26:36.220><c> know</c><00:26:36.359><c> it's</c><00:26:36.559><c> a</c><00:26:36.619><c> custom</c><00:26:37.279><c> generally</c><00:26:38.740><c> to</c><00:26:38.940><c> read</c><00:26:39.079><c> it.</c>

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.799
It<00:26:40.319><c> seems</c><00:26:40.500><c> to</c><00:26:40.640><c> be</c><00:26:40.799><c> a</c><00:26:40.980><c> mark</c><00:26:41.299><c> rather,</c><00:26:41.960><c> not</c><00:26:42.220><c> to</c><00:26:42.359><c> be</c><00:26:42.539><c> read,</c>

00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:46.240
Whether<00:26:45.140><c> one</c><00:26:45.299><c> reads</c><00:26:45.500><c> it</c><00:26:45.599><c> is</c><00:26:45.759><c> another</c><00:26:45.920><c> matter,</c>

But<00:26:58.279><c> the</c><00:26:58.400><c> idea</c><00:26:58.680><c> is</c><00:26:59.380><c> meditate</c><00:26:59.980><c> upon</c><00:27:00.680><c> that.</c>

00:27:04.420 --> 00:27:05.599

00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:29.579
How<00:27:27.839><c> could</c><00:27:28.160><c> David</c><00:27:28.500><c> wear</c><00:27:28.740><c> a</c><00:27:28.920><c> royal</c><00:27:29.220><c> robe</c>

Is<00:27:33.119><c> it</c><00:27:33.279><c> I?</c>

00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.019
No,<00:27:34.779><c> the</c><00:27:34.920><c> Lord</c><00:27:35.099><c> of</c><00:27:35.279><c> hosts,</c><00:27:35.859><c> he</c><00:27:36.000><c> is</c><00:27:36.180><c> the</c><00:27:36.339><c> King</c><00:27:36.480><c> of</c><00:27:36.759><c> glory.</c>

00:28:23.339 --> 00:28:24.740
She'd<00:28:23.839><c> been</c><00:28:23.960><c> taken</c><00:28:24.220><c> from</c><00:28:24.460><c> him,</c>

00:28:24.779 --> 00:28:26.119
she's<00:28:24.960><c> now</c><00:28:25.140><c> been</c><00:28:25.380><c> restored</c><00:28:25.740><c> to</c><00:28:25.880><c> him,</c>

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.500
brought<00:28:26.539><c> to</c><00:28:26.740><c> David</c><00:28:27.000><c> by</c><00:28:27.319><c> Avner</c><00:28:27.599><c> with</c><00:28:27.779><c> her</c><00:28:27.920><c> husband,</c>

00:28:28.859 --> 00:28:31.740
weeping<00:28:29.160><c> as</c><00:28:30.079><c> she</c><00:28:30.339><c> came</c><00:28:30.579><c> away,</c>

00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:34.160
weeping<00:28:32.160><c> as</c><00:28:32.339><c> she</c><00:28:32.480><c> came</c><00:28:32.720><c> from</c><00:28:32.920><c> the</c><00:28:33.019><c> town</c><00:28:33.259><c> of</c><00:28:33.440><c> Bahurim.</c>

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:36.920
And<00:28:34.660><c> she</c><00:28:34.779><c> comes</c><00:28:35.299><c> and</c><00:28:35.900><c> is</c><00:28:36.140><c> restored</c><00:28:36.400><c> to</c><00:28:36.619><c> David</c>

00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:38.740
and<00:28:37.359><c> would</c><00:28:37.519><c> have</c><00:28:37.619><c> been</c><00:28:37.740><c> to</c><00:28:37.940><c> favour,</c>

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.000
and<00:28:38.900><c> she</c><00:28:39.019><c> could</c><00:28:39.180><c> have</c><00:28:39.319><c> been</c><00:28:39.559><c> established</c>

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.660
in<00:28:40.180><c> the</c><00:28:40.299><c> house</c><00:28:40.460><c> of</c><00:28:40.619><c> David</c><00:28:40.900><c> as</c><00:28:41.059><c> a</c><00:28:41.200><c> worshiper</c><00:28:41.480><c> of</c><00:28:41.680><c> God.</c>

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:46.019
But<00:28:43.480><c> she</c><00:28:43.779><c> was</c><00:28:44.259><c> her</c><00:28:44.519><c> father's</c><00:28:44.940><c> daughter,</c>

00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:50.160
not<00:28:48.440><c> just</c><00:28:48.640><c> by</c><00:28:48.920><c> flesh,</c>

00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:52.960
but<00:28:51.339><c> she</c><00:28:51.640><c> despised</c><00:28:52.079><c> David</c>

00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.900
because<00:28:53.759><c> she</c><00:28:54.039><c> didn't</c><00:28:54.359><c> understand</c><00:28:54.940><c> the</c><00:28:55.200><c> spiritual</c><00:28:55.579><c> things.</c>

00:28:57.980 --> 00:29:00.559
And<00:28:58.079><c> so</c><00:28:58.220><c> David</c><00:28:58.480><c> instructs</c><00:28:59.079><c> her,</c>

00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.660
haven't<00:29:01.019><c> you</c><00:29:01.240><c> understood,</c><00:29:02.720><c> Michael,</c>

00:29:03.819 --> 00:29:05.480
what<00:29:04.000><c> this</c><00:29:04.220><c> is</c><00:29:04.359><c> all</c><00:29:04.559><c> about?</c>

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:08.339
Haven't<00:29:05.680><c> you</c><00:29:05.859><c> seen</c><00:29:06.099><c> why</c><00:29:06.380><c> God</c><00:29:06.660><c> chose</c><00:29:07.019><c> me</c><00:29:07.359><c> before</c><00:29:07.640><c> your</c><00:29:07.920><c> father?</c>

00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:10.359
What<00:29:08.740><c> the</c><00:29:08.940><c> reason</c><00:29:09.279><c> was?</c>

00:29:11.900 --> 00:29:13.440
And<00:29:12.539><c> Michael,</c><00:29:12.819><c> of</c><00:29:13.039><c> course,</c>

00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.460
will<00:29:13.720><c> never</c><00:29:13.980><c> grasp</c><00:29:14.359><c> the</c><00:29:14.660><c> spiritual</c><00:29:15.000><c> things</c><00:29:15.319><c> now.</c>

00:29:16.819 --> 00:29:20.460
And<00:29:17.339><c> David</c><00:29:17.599><c> has</c><00:29:17.799><c> no</c><00:29:18.140><c> further</c><00:29:18.460><c> association</c><00:29:19.059><c> with</c><00:29:19.279><c> her.</c>

00:29:22.259 --> 00:29:24.380
And<00:29:22.480><c> there</c><00:29:22.779><c> is</c><00:29:22.960><c> perhaps</c><00:29:23.180><c> a</c><00:29:23.299><c> little</c><00:29:23.440><c> comment</c><00:29:23.720><c> there</c>

00:29:24.380 --> 00:29:27.720
about<00:29:24.900><c> the</c><00:29:25.059><c> relationship</c><00:29:25.579><c> between</c><00:29:26.019><c> David</c><00:29:26.299><c> and</c><00:29:26.440><c> his</c><00:29:26.640><c> wives.</c>

00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:30.960
Perhaps,<00:29:30.180><c> as</c><00:29:30.319><c> we</c><00:29:30.440><c> go</c><00:29:30.599><c> along,</c>

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:32.900
we<00:29:31.180><c> shall</c><00:29:31.279><c> see</c><00:29:31.440><c> a</c><00:29:31.519><c> little</c><00:29:31.859><c> something</c><00:29:32.180><c> of</c><00:29:32.359><c> this</c><00:29:32.579><c> matter.</c>

00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:35.259
For<00:29:33.519><c> us,</c><00:29:33.759><c> I</c><00:29:33.880><c> think</c><00:29:33.960><c> it's</c><00:29:34.099><c> difficult</c><00:29:34.400><c> to</c><00:29:34.759><c> understand</c>

00:29:35.259 --> 00:29:37.259
the<00:29:35.619><c> multiplicity</c><00:29:36.119><c> of</c><00:29:36.339><c> wives,</c>

00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:40.079
or<00:29:37.579><c> of</c><00:29:37.819><c> concubines,</c><00:29:38.619><c> handmaidens.</c>

00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:43.160
It<00:29:40.700><c> seems</c><00:29:40.819><c> to</c><00:29:40.960><c> have</c><00:29:41.140><c> existed</c><00:29:41.440><c> for</c><00:29:41.960><c> at</c><00:29:42.140><c> least</c><00:29:42.400><c> a</c><00:29:42.539><c> thousand</c><00:29:42.819><c> years,</c>

00:29:43.220 --> 00:29:44.539
no<00:29:43.480><c> longer</c><00:29:43.720><c> than</c><00:29:43.980><c> that,</c>

00:29:44.539 --> 00:29:47.319
almost<00:29:45.140><c> from</c><00:29:45.519><c> immediately</c><00:29:45.920><c> after</c><00:29:46.319><c> the</c><00:29:46.539><c> flood.</c>

00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:49.819
It's<00:29:47.559><c> not</c><00:29:47.799><c> according</c><00:29:48.160><c> to</c><00:29:48.339><c> the</c><00:29:48.559><c> basic</c><00:29:49.039><c> will</c><00:29:49.279><c> of</c><00:29:49.539><c> God</c>

00:29:49.819 --> 00:29:51.779
that<00:29:50.140><c> there</c><00:29:50.339><c> should</c><00:29:50.599><c> be</c><00:29:50.880><c> in</c><00:29:50.960><c> any</c><00:29:51.160><c> household</c>

00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:53.839
that<00:29:52.319><c> kind</c><00:29:52.599><c> of</c><00:29:52.779><c> arrangement,</c>

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:56.400
one<00:29:54.940><c> man,</c><00:29:55.839><c> one</c><00:29:56.099><c> wife,</c>

00:29:56.619 --> 00:29:59.039
to<00:29:56.819><c> represent</c><00:29:57.259><c> the</c><00:29:57.480><c> unity</c><00:29:57.759><c> between</c><00:29:58.140><c> God</c><00:29:58.420><c> and</c><00:29:58.599><c> His</c><00:29:58.759><c> earth,</c>

00:29:59.140 --> 00:30:01.140
between<00:29:59.440><c> Christ</c><00:29:59.819><c> and</c><00:29:59.960><c> His</c><00:30:00.160><c> church.</c>

00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:03.720
And<00:30:01.299><c> anything</c><00:30:01.559><c> other</c><00:30:01.799><c> than</c><00:30:02.000><c> that</c><00:30:02.420><c> destroys</c><00:30:02.900><c> both</c><00:30:03.200><c> the</c><00:30:03.400><c> figure</c>

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.319
and<00:30:04.779><c> the</c><00:30:04.980><c> nature</c><00:30:05.259><c> of</c><00:30:05.440><c> the</c><00:30:05.559><c> man</c><00:30:05.940><c> with</c><00:30:06.259><c> his</c><00:30:06.460><c> wife.</c>

00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:09.839
But<00:30:08.200><c> as</c><00:30:08.759><c> this</c><00:30:08.940><c> system</c><00:30:09.180><c> grew</c><00:30:09.420><c> up,</c>

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.539
it<00:30:10.180><c> seems</c><00:30:10.460><c> that</c><00:30:10.619><c> it</c><00:30:10.720><c> was</c><00:30:11.259><c> in</c><00:30:11.380><c> part</c><00:30:11.920><c> sanctified</c>

00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:15.779
by<00:30:13.420><c> the</c><00:30:13.619><c> nature</c><00:30:13.980><c> of</c><00:30:14.160><c> the</c><00:30:14.279><c> men</c><00:30:14.420><c> who</c><00:30:14.579><c> took</c><00:30:14.799><c> part</c><00:30:15.059><c> in</c><00:30:15.240><c> it,</c>

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.059
even<00:30:16.440><c> so</c><00:30:17.500><c> much</c><00:30:17.819><c> that</c><00:30:18.079><c> the</c><00:30:18.299><c> twelve</c><00:30:18.539><c> tribes</c>

00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:21.400
sprang<00:30:19.460><c> out,</c><00:30:19.859><c> not</c><00:30:20.019><c> out</c><00:30:20.200><c> of</c><00:30:20.339><c> one</c><00:30:20.480><c> woman,</c>

00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:23.440

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:28.420
And<00:30:24.799><c> so</c><00:30:25.319><c> it</c><00:30:25.420><c> is</c><00:30:25.579><c> with</c><00:30:25.779><c> God</c><00:30:26.059><c> that</c><00:30:26.319><c> He</c><00:30:27.240><c> granted</c><00:30:27.599><c> a</c><00:30:27.960><c> blessing,</c>

00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:30.640
even<00:30:28.839><c> though</c><00:30:28.960><c> He</c><00:30:29.059><c> didn't</c><00:30:29.339><c> approve,</c><00:30:30.140><c> basically,</c>

00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:32.019
of<00:30:30.819><c> that</c><00:30:30.980><c> which</c><00:30:31.099><c> was</c><00:30:31.299><c> taking</c><00:30:31.559><c> place.</c>

00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:34.359
And<00:30:32.460><c> He</c><00:30:32.619><c> finally</c><00:30:32.980><c> designs</c><00:30:33.440><c> to</c><00:30:33.680><c> eradicate</c><00:30:34.160><c> it,</c>

00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:37.579
and<00:30:34.519><c> so</c><00:30:34.640><c> it</c><00:30:34.779><c> seems</c><00:30:35.160><c> that</c><00:30:35.559><c> after</c><00:30:35.799><c> the</c><00:30:36.099><c> exile</c><00:30:36.460><c> in</c><00:30:36.700><c> Babylon,</c>

00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:40.920
And<00:30:39.279><c> we</c><00:30:39.380><c> find</c><00:30:39.579><c> that</c><00:30:39.740><c> the</c><00:30:39.819><c> Lord</c><00:30:40.000><c> Jesus</c><00:30:40.339><c> Christ</c>

The<00:30:47.259><c> perfect</c><00:30:47.599><c> pattern,</c><00:30:48.359><c> one</c><00:30:48.619><c> man</c><00:30:49.059><c> and</c><00:30:49.640><c> one</c><00:30:49.859><c> wife.</c>

00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:53.960

And<00:33:28.299><c> I</c><00:33:28.359><c> think</c><00:33:28.480><c> we</c><00:33:28.680><c> should</c><00:33:29.400><c> similarly</c><00:33:30.019><c> be</c><00:33:30.339><c> willing</c>

00:33:30.700 --> 00:33:33.920
to<00:33:31.279><c> make</c><00:33:31.579><c> proper</c><00:33:31.880><c> devotion</c><00:33:32.500><c> of</c><00:33:33.019><c> our</c><00:33:33.240><c> substance</c>

00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:38.559
to<00:33:35.039><c> the</c><00:33:35.220><c> place</c><00:33:35.799><c> in</c><00:33:36.319><c> which</c><00:33:36.579><c> our</c><00:33:36.799><c> worship</c><00:33:37.220><c> is</c><00:33:37.539><c> conducted.</c>

00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:40.940
And<00:33:40.000><c> the</c><00:33:40.059><c> king</c><00:33:40.200><c> had</c><00:33:40.380><c> given</c><00:33:40.519><c> him</c><00:33:40.759><c> rest,</c>

00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:43.119
the<00:33:41.160><c> Lord</c><00:33:41.400><c> had</c><00:33:41.599><c> given</c><00:33:41.740><c> him</c><00:33:42.019><c> rest</c><00:33:42.359><c> round</c><00:33:42.779><c> about</c>

00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:44.819
from<00:33:43.380><c> all</c><00:33:43.599><c> his</c><00:33:43.880><c> enemies.</c>

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:47.619
So<00:33:45.299><c> the</c><00:33:45.400><c> king</c><00:33:45.599><c> sat</c><00:33:45.740><c> down</c><00:33:45.880><c> to</c><00:33:46.000><c> Nathan</c><00:33:46.319><c> the</c><00:33:46.539><c> prophet.</c>

00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:51.339
Just<00:33:49.519><c> a</c><00:33:49.660><c> thumbnail</c><00:33:49.940><c> sketch</c><00:33:50.279><c> of</c><00:33:50.440><c> Nathan.</c>

00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:53.420
He's<00:33:52.059><c> a</c><00:33:52.240><c> prophet.</c>

00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:57.420
He<00:33:55.400><c> is</c><00:33:55.839><c> a</c><00:33:56.160><c> rebukeer.</c>

00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.259
He<00:33:58.640><c> is</c><00:33:59.079><c> an</c><00:33:59.400><c> instructor</c><00:34:00.000><c> of</c><00:34:00.319><c> Solomon.</c>

00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:04.640
And<00:34:01.980><c> he</c><00:34:02.119><c> is</c><00:34:02.299><c> a</c><00:34:02.460><c> divine</c><00:34:03.500><c> historian.</c>

00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:08.359
So<00:34:05.980><c> just</c><00:34:06.180><c> think</c><00:34:06.319><c> of</c><00:34:06.400><c> him</c><00:34:06.539><c> in</c><00:34:06.720><c> those</c><00:34:07.359><c> terms.</c>

00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:11.159
But<00:34:09.699><c> he's</c><00:34:09.760><c> not</c><00:34:09.960><c> quite</c><00:34:10.139><c> sure</c><00:34:10.300><c> of</c><00:34:10.400><c> himself</c><00:34:10.699><c> here.</c>

00:34:11.340 --> 00:34:15.500
At<00:34:11.400><c> least</c><00:34:12.019><c> God</c><00:34:12.599><c> shows</c><00:34:12.860><c> him</c><00:34:13.079><c> that</c><00:34:13.219><c> Nathan,</c><00:34:13.960><c> too,</c><00:34:14.239><c> requires</c><00:34:14.440><c> instruction.</c>

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:18.320
See<00:34:16.139><c> now,</c><00:34:16.960><c> I</c><00:34:17.219><c> dwell</c><00:34:17.440><c> in</c><00:34:17.599><c> a</c><00:34:17.739><c> house</c><00:34:17.940><c> of</c><00:34:18.159><c> cedar,</c>

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:20.960
but<00:34:18.460><c> the</c><00:34:18.659><c> ark</c><00:34:18.800><c> of</c><00:34:18.940><c> the</c><00:34:19.079><c> Lord</c><00:34:19.300><c> dwelleth</c><00:34:19.659><c> in</c><00:34:19.880><c> curtains.</c>

00:34:21.179 --> 00:34:23.059
And<00:34:21.579><c> Nathan</c><00:34:21.900><c> said</c><00:34:22.099><c> to</c><00:34:22.239><c> the</c><00:34:22.360><c> king,</c>

00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:24.820
Go,<00:34:23.519><c> do</c><00:34:23.719><c> all</c><00:34:23.960><c> that</c><00:34:24.099><c> is</c><00:34:24.199><c> in</c><00:34:24.340><c> thine</c><00:34:24.500><c> heart,</c>

00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:26.539
for<00:34:24.940><c> the</c><00:34:25.119><c> Lord</c><00:34:25.280><c> is</c><00:34:25.400><c> with</c><00:34:25.599><c> thee.</c>

00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:28.519
And<00:34:27.280><c> it</c><00:34:27.300><c> came</c><00:34:27.460><c> to</c><00:34:27.579><c> pass</c><00:34:27.739><c> that</c><00:34:28.000><c> night</c>

00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:30.699
that<00:34:28.960><c> the</c><00:34:29.039><c> word</c><00:34:29.159><c> of</c><00:34:29.280><c> the</c><00:34:29.400><c> Lord</c><00:34:29.559><c> came</c><00:34:29.780><c> unto</c><00:34:29.960><c> Nathan</c><00:34:30.340><c> saying,</c>

00:34:30.900 --> 00:34:32.960
Go,<00:34:31.320><c> and</c><00:34:31.460><c> tell</c><00:34:31.559><c> my</c><00:34:31.840><c> servant</c><00:34:32.199><c> David,</c>

whereas<00:34:38.840><c> I</c><00:34:39.019><c> have</c><00:34:39.199><c> not</c><00:34:39.460><c> dwelt</c><00:34:39.619><c> in</c><00:34:39.760><c> any</c><00:34:39.920><c> house</c>

00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:42.539
since<00:34:40.559><c> the</c><00:34:40.739><c> day</c><00:34:41.360><c> that</c><00:34:41.960><c> I</c><00:34:42.159><c> brought</c><00:34:42.340><c> up</c>

00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:48.980
but<00:34:46.119><c> have</c><00:34:46.280><c> walked</c><00:34:46.519><c> in</c><00:34:46.739><c> a</c><00:34:46.860><c> tent</c><00:34:47.179><c> and</c><00:34:47.659><c> in</c><00:34:47.800><c> a</c><00:34:47.940><c> tabernacle.</c>

00:34:49.460 --> 00:34:50.980
Just<00:34:49.940><c> one</c><00:34:50.179><c> word,</c><00:34:50.500><c> brothers</c><00:34:50.639><c> and</c><00:34:50.739><c> sisters,</c>

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:53.400
that<00:34:51.159><c> I'd</c><00:34:51.260><c> never</c><00:34:51.440><c> noticed</c><00:34:51.739><c> in</c><00:34:51.900><c> that</c><00:34:52.079><c> verse</c><00:34:52.260><c> before.</c>

00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:55.840
The<00:34:54.460><c> Lord</c><00:34:54.760><c> walked.</c>

00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.039
Even<00:34:59.239><c> though</c><00:34:59.659><c> the</c><00:34:59.920><c> ark</c><00:35:00.039><c> was</c><00:35:00.239><c> at</c><00:35:00.420><c> rest,</c><00:35:00.559><c> as</c><00:35:00.719><c> it</c><00:35:00.880><c> were,</c>

00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:01.920
in<00:35:01.239><c> the</c><00:35:01.420><c> tabernacle,</c>

00:35:02.340 --> 00:35:05.400
the<00:35:02.519><c> Lord</c><00:35:02.719><c> had</c><00:35:02.920><c> something</c><00:35:03.179><c> in</c><00:35:03.300><c> his</c><00:35:03.559><c> mind</c><00:35:03.900><c> beyond</c><00:35:04.260><c> that.</c>

00:35:06.139 --> 00:35:07.820
He<00:35:06.400><c> wasn't</c><00:35:06.639><c> at</c><00:35:06.880><c> rest.</c>

00:35:08.099 --> 00:35:09.719
He<00:35:08.579><c> was</c><00:35:08.780><c> walking.</c>

00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:12.019
He<00:35:10.900><c> wouldn't</c><00:35:11.079><c> be</c><00:35:11.320><c> at</c><00:35:11.460><c> rest</c>

00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:14.159
until<00:35:13.000><c> the</c><00:35:13.280><c> day</c><00:35:13.460><c> when</c><00:35:13.579><c> he</c><00:35:13.659><c> will</c><00:35:13.860><c> make</c>

00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:16.559
the<00:35:14.440><c> place</c><00:35:14.679><c> of</c><00:35:14.900><c> the</c><00:35:15.059><c> soles</c><00:35:15.340><c> of</c><00:35:15.440><c> his</c><00:35:15.679><c> feet</c>

00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:18.059
glorious.

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:20.659
That's<00:35:19.820><c> the</c><00:35:19.900><c> day</c><00:35:20.139><c> when</c><00:35:20.400><c> finally</c>

00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:22.400
there<00:35:21.400><c> will</c><00:35:21.519><c> be</c><00:35:21.719><c> complete</c><00:35:22.000><c> rest.</c>

00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:24.360
Meanwhile,<00:35:23.460><c> as</c><00:35:23.639><c> we</c><00:35:23.780><c> see</c><00:35:23.960><c> here,</c>

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:25.699
the<00:35:24.800><c> Lord</c><00:35:25.059><c> walks.</c>

00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:28.539
The<00:35:26.079><c> tabernacle</c><00:35:26.480><c> is</c><00:35:26.639><c> only</c><00:35:27.119><c> a</c><00:35:27.380><c> temporary</c><00:35:27.940><c> place.</c>

00:35:29.019 --> 00:35:31.340
The<00:35:29.159><c> Lord</c><00:35:29.400><c> wanders</c><00:35:29.900><c> with</c><00:35:30.139><c> Israel.</c>

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:33.420
And<00:35:32.179><c> so</c><00:35:32.280><c> he</c><00:35:32.380><c> now</c><00:35:32.619><c> speaks</c><00:35:32.860><c> to</c><00:35:33.139><c> David</c>

00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:36.119
and<00:35:33.960><c> tells</c><00:35:34.440><c> him</c><00:35:34.719><c> that</c><00:35:34.860><c> he</c><00:35:35.000><c> will</c><00:35:35.179><c> build</c><00:35:35.420><c> him</c><00:35:35.639><c> a</c><00:35:35.739><c> house</c>

00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:38.739
and<00:35:37.079><c> establish</c><00:35:37.480><c> it</c><00:35:38.219><c> firmly</c>

00:35:38.739 --> 00:35:40.139
and<00:35:39.579><c> that</c><00:35:39.739><c> forever,</c>

00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:42.619

00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.039
There<00:35:42.880><c> are</c><00:35:43.260><c> here</c><00:35:43.800><c> intertwined</c>

00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:45.820
two<00:35:45.420><c> promises.</c>

00:35:45.940 --> 00:35:47.940
A<00:35:46.099><c> promise</c><00:35:46.239><c> that</c><00:35:46.480><c> concerns</c><00:35:46.800><c> Solomon,</c><00:35:47.440><c> certainly,</c>

00:35:48.260 --> 00:35:50.860
but<00:35:48.400><c> a</c><00:35:48.559><c> promise</c><00:35:48.739><c> that</c><00:35:48.980><c> reaches</c><00:35:49.179><c> out</c><00:35:49.519><c> right</c><00:35:49.780><c> beyond</c><00:35:50.139><c> that</c><00:35:50.460><c> time.</c>

00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:52.099
For<00:35:51.420><c> as</c><00:35:51.579><c> David</c><00:35:51.820><c> says,</c>

00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.739

to<00:41:15.659><c> manage</c><00:41:15.900><c> his</c><00:41:16.320><c> estate,</c>

00:41:17.099 --> 00:41:18.880
because<00:41:17.340><c> he</c><00:41:17.539><c> himself</c><00:41:17.820><c> was</c><00:41:17.980><c> unable</c><00:41:18.219><c> to</c><00:41:18.380><c> do</c><00:41:18.519><c> it</c>

00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:20.579
on<00:41:19.059><c> account</c><00:41:19.280><c> of</c><00:41:19.420><c> his</c><00:41:19.619><c> lameness.</c>

00:41:20.980 --> 00:41:23.119
And<00:41:21.519><c> now</c><00:41:21.719><c> the</c><00:41:21.920><c> Syrians</c><00:41:22.159><c> come</c><00:41:22.380><c> down</c><00:41:22.579><c> from</c><00:41:22.780><c> the</c><00:41:22.920><c> north,</c>

00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:24.239
they've<00:41:23.380><c> been</c><00:41:23.519><c> defeated</c><00:41:23.860><c> once,</c>

00:41:24.380 --> 00:41:26.280
but<00:41:24.519><c> they've</c><00:41:24.780><c> come</c><00:41:24.920><c> down</c><00:41:25.179><c> now</c><00:41:25.440><c> as</c><00:41:25.800><c> hired</c>

00:41:26.280 --> 00:41:28.860
mercenaries<00:41:27.340><c> of</c><00:41:28.079><c> the</c><00:41:28.340><c> Ammonites</c>

00:41:28.860 --> 00:41:31.000

00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:32.099
Amman,

00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:34.280
you<00:41:32.659><c> remember</c><00:41:33.179><c> the</c><00:41:33.480><c> present</c><00:41:33.739><c> capital</c>

00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:36.800
on<00:41:35.019><c> the</c><00:41:35.159><c> other</c><00:41:35.380><c> side</c><00:41:35.559><c> of</c><00:41:35.699><c> the</c><00:41:35.800><c> river,</c>

00:41:37.340 --> 00:41:38.480
is<00:41:37.659><c> the</c><00:41:38.039><c> place</c>

00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:40.300
which<00:41:39.079><c> was</c><00:41:39.239><c> finally</c><00:41:39.599><c> besieged</c>

00:41:40.300 --> 00:41:41.519
by<00:41:40.619><c> David.</c>

00:41:42.059 --> 00:41:44.739
Now<00:41:42.320><c> this</c><00:41:42.639><c> siege</c><00:41:43.059><c> is</c><00:41:43.679><c> interesting.</c>

00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:46.260
It<00:41:45.239><c> shows</c><00:41:45.460><c> forth</c><00:41:45.780><c> the</c><00:41:45.980><c> character</c>

00:41:46.260 --> 00:41:48.000
of<00:41:46.460><c> David,</c><00:41:46.960><c> the</c><00:41:47.139><c> character</c><00:41:47.420><c> of</c><00:41:47.699><c> Joab,</c>

00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.000
and<00:41:48.480><c> all</c><00:41:49.079><c> the</c><00:41:49.500><c> intricacies</c>

00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:51.619
of<00:41:50.320><c> the</c><00:41:50.579><c> human</c><00:41:50.880><c> mind</c>

00:41:51.619 --> 00:41:55.019
when<00:41:52.519><c> it</c><00:41:53.340><c> indulges</c><00:41:53.760><c> in</c><00:41:54.119><c> sin.</c>

00:41:55.619 --> 00:41:57.320
As<00:41:55.860><c> we</c><00:41:56.079><c> read</c><00:41:56.300><c> outside</c><00:41:56.739><c> our</c><00:41:56.980><c> scriptures,</c>

00:41:57.780 --> 00:42:00.019
oh,<00:41:58.340><c> what</c><00:41:58.559><c> a</c><00:41:59.059><c> tangled</c><00:41:59.500><c> web</c>

00:42:00.019 --> 00:42:01.500
we<00:42:00.420><c> weave</c>

00:42:01.780 --> 00:42:03.719
when<00:42:02.199><c> first</c><00:42:02.800><c> we</c><00:42:03.139><c> practise</c>

00:42:03.719 --> 00:42:05.019
to<00:42:04.019><c> deceive.</c>

00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:08.739
That's<00:42:07.099><c> one</c><00:42:07.219><c> of</c><00:42:08.400><c> our</c>

00:42:08.739 --> 00:42:10.019
lesser<00:42:08.980><c> poets.</c>

00:42:10.699 --> 00:42:12.619
Shakespeare,<00:42:11.219><c> I</c><00:42:11.300><c> think.</c>

00:42:16.980 --> 00:42:18.280
Well,<00:42:17.380><c> now,</c>

00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:18.980
just<00:42:18.500><c> one</c><00:42:18.619><c> little</c><00:42:18.800><c> point</c>

00:42:18.980 --> 00:42:20.239
I'd<00:42:19.219><c> like</c><00:42:19.260><c> to</c><00:42:19.380><c> bring</c><00:42:19.480><c> out</c><00:42:19.639><c> about</c><00:42:19.900><c> Joab</c>

00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:22.699
before<00:42:20.559><c> we</c><00:42:20.800><c> see</c><00:42:20.940><c> him</c><00:42:21.480><c> here</c>

00:42:23.539 --> 00:42:24.340
outside<00:42:23.940><c> Amman,</c>

00:42:24.619 --> 00:42:25.679
the<00:42:24.719><c> capital,</c>

00:42:25.699 --> 00:42:26.739
Raba,<00:42:26.039><c> as</c><00:42:26.219><c> we</c><00:42:26.380><c> know</c><00:42:26.500><c> it,</c>

00:42:26.739 --> 00:42:27.559
in<00:42:26.940><c> our</c><00:42:27.099><c> scriptures.</c>

00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.239
He's<00:42:28.159><c> a</c><00:42:28.239><c> man</c><00:42:28.360><c> of</c><00:42:28.619><c> tremendous</c><00:42:29.239><c> courage.</c>

00:42:30.340 --> 00:42:31.920
I<00:42:30.440><c> don't</c><00:42:30.599><c> think</c><00:42:30.679><c> I'd</c><00:42:30.880><c> like</c><00:42:31.000><c> to</c><00:42:31.119><c> have</c><00:42:31.239><c> been</c><00:42:31.360><c> in</c><00:42:31.480><c> this</c><00:42:31.719><c> battle.</c>

00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:33.880
I<00:42:32.280><c> haven't</c><00:42:32.480><c> got</c><00:42:32.659><c> the</c><00:42:32.820><c> courage</c><00:42:33.000><c> that</c><00:42:33.219><c> Joab</c><00:42:33.480><c> had.</c>

00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:35.820
But<00:42:34.440><c> when</c><00:42:34.579><c> he</c><00:42:34.760><c> came</c><00:42:34.960><c> and</c><00:42:35.099><c> saw</c><00:42:35.300><c> the</c><00:42:35.519><c> Syrians</c>

00:42:35.820 --> 00:42:37.420
and<00:42:36.000><c> the</c><00:42:36.159><c> Ammonites</c><00:42:36.539><c> gathered</c><00:42:36.800><c> together</c>

00:42:37.420 --> 00:42:40.480
and<00:42:37.940><c> realised</c><00:42:38.440><c> that</c><00:42:38.599><c> there</c><00:42:38.699><c> were</c><00:42:38.860><c> two</c><00:42:39.099><c> sets</c><00:42:39.300><c> of</c><00:42:39.599><c> forces</c><00:42:39.860><c> here,</c>

00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:42.460
he<00:42:41.599><c> said</c><00:42:41.780><c> to</c><00:42:41.980><c> Abishai,</c>

00:42:42.579 --> 00:42:43.980
you<00:42:42.659><c> take</c><00:42:42.900><c> that</c><00:42:43.179><c> side,</c>

00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:45.960
and<00:42:44.260><c> I'll</c><00:42:44.539><c> take</c><00:42:44.719><c> this</c><00:42:45.000><c> side.</c>

00:42:46.900 --> 00:42:48.300
And<00:42:47.019><c> these</c><00:42:47.159><c> are</c><00:42:47.260><c> his</c><00:42:47.420><c> words.</c>

00:42:48.739 --> 00:42:51.340
Joab<00:42:48.820><c> said,</c><00:42:49.400><c> be</c><00:42:49.480><c> of</c><00:42:49.900><c> good</c><00:42:50.159><c> courage.</c>

00:42:52.260 --> 00:42:52.719
Let<00:42:52.360><c> us</c>

00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:54.800
play<00:42:53.059><c> the</c><00:42:53.300><c> men</c><00:42:53.579><c> for</c><00:42:53.820><c> our</c><00:42:54.099><c> people</c>

00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:56.480
and<00:42:55.840><c> for</c><00:42:56.039><c> the</c><00:42:56.280><c> cities</c>

00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:57.800
of<00:42:56.719><c> our</c><00:42:56.940><c> God,</c>

00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.500
and<00:42:58.400><c> the</c><00:42:58.599><c> Lord</c><00:42:58.920><c> do</c><00:42:59.199><c> that</c><00:42:59.559><c> which</c><00:43:00.019><c> seemeth</c>

00:43:00.500 --> 00:43:01.340
good.

00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:04.079
Now,<00:43:02.280><c> I</c><00:43:02.340><c> think</c><00:43:02.460><c> that</c><00:43:02.599><c> was</c><00:43:03.320><c> Joab's</c><00:43:03.800><c> character.</c>

00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.119
It's<00:43:04.280><c> got</c><00:43:04.559><c> streaks</c><00:43:05.219><c> in</c><00:43:05.380><c> it</c>

00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:08.719
of<00:43:07.179><c> unworthiness,</c><00:43:07.760><c> even</c><00:43:07.900><c> from</c><00:43:08.119><c> human</c><00:43:08.400><c> standards.</c>

00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:10.179
But<00:43:08.860><c> I</c><00:43:08.920><c> think</c><00:43:09.079><c> that</c><00:43:09.239><c> was</c><00:43:09.559><c> Joab's</c><00:43:09.940><c> character.</c>

00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:12.500
I<00:43:10.300><c> think</c><00:43:10.440><c> he</c><00:43:10.519><c> was</c><00:43:10.699><c> a</c><00:43:11.019><c> man</c><00:43:11.159><c> of</c><00:43:11.480><c> courage.</c>

00:43:12.539 --> 00:43:15.480
And<00:43:12.780><c> so</c><00:43:12.920><c> each</c><00:43:13.079><c> of</c><00:43:13.179><c> them</c><00:43:13.300><c> faces</c><00:43:13.840><c> an</c><00:43:14.659><c> army.</c>

00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:18.480
And<00:43:16.739><c> this</c><00:43:17.099><c> is</c><00:43:17.239><c> the</c><00:43:17.380><c> part</c><00:43:17.519><c> that</c><00:43:18.199><c> partly</c>

00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:20.400
amuses<00:43:18.880><c> me,</c><00:43:19.400><c> and</c><00:43:19.519><c> yet</c><00:43:19.699><c> shows</c>

00:43:21.059 --> 00:43:22.659
the<00:43:21.539><c> faith</c><00:43:22.019><c> of</c><00:43:22.239><c> Joab.</c>

00:43:22.820 --> 00:43:24.739
He<00:43:22.960><c> says</c><00:43:23.119><c> to</c><00:43:23.300><c> Abishai,</c><00:43:24.019><c> now,</c><00:43:24.179><c> if</c><00:43:24.420><c> they</c>

00:43:24.739 --> 00:43:26.059
prove<00:43:24.900><c> too</c><00:43:25.239><c> strong</c><00:43:25.400><c> for</c><00:43:25.639><c> you,</c>

00:43:26.519 --> 00:43:27.699
I'll<00:43:26.760><c> come</c><00:43:26.920><c> and</c><00:43:27.059><c> help</c><00:43:27.199><c> you.</c>

00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:29.920
If<00:43:28.340><c> they</c><00:43:28.619><c> prove</c><00:43:28.820><c> too</c><00:43:29.159><c> strong</c><00:43:29.280><c> for</c><00:43:29.480><c> me,</c>

00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:32.139
you<00:43:30.440><c> come</c><00:43:30.599><c> and</c><00:43:30.739><c> help</c><00:43:30.900><c> me.</c><00:43:31.519><c> But</c><00:43:31.659><c> he</c><00:43:31.739><c> never</c><00:43:31.960><c> said</c>

00:43:32.139 --> 00:43:34.199
what<00:43:32.280><c> would</c><00:43:32.500><c> happen</c><00:43:32.820><c> if</c><00:43:33.119><c> the</c><00:43:33.679><c> both</c><00:43:33.920><c> sides</c>

00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:35.599
proved<00:43:34.440><c> too</c><00:43:34.820><c> strong.</c>

00:43:39.460 --> 00:43:41.059
It's<00:43:39.860><c> just</c><00:43:40.260><c> one</c><00:43:40.500><c> of</c><00:43:40.559><c> those</c><00:43:40.840><c> blind</c>

00:43:41.059 --> 00:43:43.019

00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:05.480

00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:08.300
And<00:44:07.280><c> his</c><00:44:07.880><c> face</c>

00:44:08.300 --> 00:44:10.300

00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:11.659
I<00:44:11.420><c> wonder</c>

00:44:11.659 --> 00:44:13.440
what<00:44:12.000><c> he</c><00:44:12.280><c> was</c><00:44:12.500><c> thinking</c>

00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:15.500
when<00:44:14.400><c> he</c><00:44:14.659><c> walked</c>

00:44:15.820 --> 00:44:17.059
upon<00:44:16.420><c> the</c><00:44:16.619><c> roof</c>

had<00:44:19.280><c> built.</c>

00:44:21.500 --> 00:44:22.960
What<00:44:21.840><c> was</c><00:44:21.960><c> he</c><00:44:22.119><c> thinking?</c>

00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:25.260
We<00:44:23.840><c> only</c><00:44:24.099><c> know</c><00:44:24.280><c> of</c><00:44:24.400><c> one</c><00:44:24.480><c> other</c><00:44:24.679><c> man</c><00:44:24.920><c> who</c>

00:44:25.260 --> 00:44:27.119
walked<00:44:25.519><c> upon</c><00:44:25.739><c> his</c><00:44:25.960><c> roof.</c>

00:44:30.019 --> 00:44:31.480
He's<00:44:30.099><c> not</c><00:44:30.300><c> this</c>

00:44:32.260 --> 00:44:33.199

00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:36.619
I<00:44:36.239><c> wonder</c>

00:44:36.619 --> 00:44:40.000
whether<00:44:37.039><c> for</c><00:44:37.260><c> a</c><00:44:37.420><c> moment</c><00:44:37.780><c> he</c><00:44:38.099><c> dropped</c><00:44:38.440><c> his</c><00:44:38.760><c> defences.</c>

00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:43.079
Because<00:44:42.039><c> if</c><00:44:42.219><c> we</c><00:44:42.360><c> drop</c><00:44:42.500><c> our</c><00:44:42.760><c> defences</c>

00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:44.599
in<00:44:43.280><c> one</c><00:44:43.519><c> direction,</c>

00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:46.920
we've<00:44:45.820><c> got</c><00:44:45.920><c> to</c><00:44:46.059><c> be</c><00:44:46.139><c> very</c><00:44:46.539><c> careful</c>

00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:49.519
lest<00:44:47.179><c> we</c><00:44:47.340><c> drop</c><00:44:47.519><c> them</c><00:44:47.679><c> in</c><00:44:47.780><c> other</c><00:44:47.960><c> directions</c><00:44:48.340><c> also.</c>

00:44:49.579 --> 00:44:51.099
A<00:44:49.719><c> man</c><00:44:49.840><c> who</c><00:44:50.000><c> thinks</c><00:44:50.199><c> that</c><00:44:50.440><c> weakness</c><00:44:50.699><c> in</c><00:44:50.900><c> one</c>

00:44:52.820 --> 00:44:54.760
and<00:44:53.039><c> that</c><00:44:53.159><c> it</c><00:44:53.199><c> will</c><00:44:53.360><c> have</c><00:44:53.480><c> no</c><00:44:53.679><c> effect</c><00:44:53.920><c> upon</c><00:44:54.139><c> another</c><00:44:54.420><c> part</c><00:44:54.639><c> of</c>

00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:55.300
his<00:44:54.940><c> character</c>

00:44:55.300 --> 00:44:57.099
is<00:44:56.019><c> sorely</c><00:44:56.519><c> mistaken</c>

00:44:57.099 --> 00:44:59.420
as<00:44:57.639><c> we</c><00:44:57.780><c> all</c><00:44:58.039><c> know.</c>

00:44:59.780 --> 00:45:01.079
For<00:44:59.860><c> it</c><00:44:59.960><c> seems</c><00:45:00.420><c> that</c>

00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:03.380
David<00:45:01.659><c> had</c><00:45:02.380><c> dropped</c><00:45:02.579><c> his</c><00:45:02.780><c> other</c><00:45:03.000><c> defences</c>

00:45:03.380 --> 00:45:05.099
also<00:45:04.599><c> as</c><00:45:05.019><c> he</c>

00:45:05.099 --> 00:45:06.679
looked<00:45:05.320><c> out</c><00:45:05.599><c> across</c>

00:45:07.340 --> 00:45:09.659
and<00:45:08.039><c> saw</c><00:45:08.239><c> Bathsheba</c>

00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:13.179
and<00:45:12.300><c> asked</c><00:45:12.960><c> who</c>

00:45:13.179 --> 00:45:14.920
she<00:45:13.420><c> was</c>

00:45:14.969 --> 00:45:16.840
and<00:45:15.320><c> brought</c><00:45:15.519><c> her</c><00:45:15.679><c> to</c><00:45:15.860><c> him</c>

00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:19.079
and<00:45:17.400><c> committed</c><00:45:17.679><c> the</c><00:45:17.940><c> act</c>

00:45:20.849 --> 00:45:23.079
which<00:45:21.199><c> in</c><00:45:21.380><c> the</c><00:45:21.599><c> sight</c><00:45:21.760><c> of</c><00:45:21.960><c> God</c>

00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:25.579
caused<00:45:24.219><c> great</c><00:45:24.639><c> displeasure.</c>

00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:29.579
Whilst<00:45:27.380><c> not</c><00:45:27.619><c> everything,</c><00:45:28.219><c> David's</c>

00:45:29.820 --> 00:45:31.460
and<00:45:30.320><c> why</c><00:45:30.500><c> should</c><00:45:30.679><c> he</c><00:45:30.840><c> touch</c><00:45:31.139><c> that</c>

00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:33.460
which<00:45:31.639><c> belongs</c><00:45:32.059><c> to</c><00:45:32.280><c> another</c><00:45:32.480><c> man?</c>

00:45:34.780 --> 00:45:35.340
And<00:45:34.920><c> I</c><00:45:34.980><c> think</c><00:45:35.119><c> perhaps</c>

00:45:35.340 --> 00:45:36.480
he<00:45:35.400><c> would</c><00:45:35.579><c> have</c><00:45:35.599><c> forgotten</c><00:45:35.880><c> the</c><00:45:36.139><c> act</c>

00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:39.199
if<00:45:36.980><c> Bathsheba</c><00:45:37.820><c> had</c><00:45:38.619><c> not</c><00:45:38.739><c> come</c><00:45:38.960><c> along</c>

00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:41.960
to<00:45:39.480><c> say</c><00:45:39.639><c> that</c><00:45:39.760><c> there</c><00:45:39.900><c> were</c><00:45:40.139><c> consequences</c><00:45:40.599><c> of</c><00:45:40.820><c> that</c><00:45:41.000><c> act.</c>

00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:45.480
There<00:45:43.719><c> are</c><00:45:43.920><c> consequences</c><00:45:44.320><c> to</c><00:45:44.599><c> all</c><00:45:44.840><c> sins</c>

00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:46.699
whether<00:45:46.179><c> visible</c>

00:45:46.699 --> 00:45:48.739
or<00:45:47.619><c> invisible.</c>

00:45:49.420 --> 00:45:51.920
And<00:45:49.599><c> so</c><00:45:49.699><c> he</c><00:45:49.860><c> sends</c><00:45:50.179><c> for</c><00:45:50.380><c> Uriah</c><00:45:50.739><c> the</c><00:45:50.880><c> Hittite</c>

00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:53.139
Oh<00:45:52.739><c> David,</c>

00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:55.000
what<00:45:53.599><c> have</c><00:45:53.860><c> you</c><00:45:54.099><c> done?</c>

00:45:55.780 --> 00:45:57.190
You've<00:45:56.039><c> won</c><00:45:56.099><c> the</c><00:45:56.320><c> allegiance</c><00:45:56.619><c> of</c><00:45:56.820><c> a</c><00:45:56.940><c> Hittite</c>

00:46:00.869 --> 00:46:02.530
and<00:46:01.389><c> he'd</c><00:46:01.630><c> won</c><00:46:01.690><c> his</c><00:46:01.949><c> allegiance</c>

and<00:46:13.809><c> he</c><00:46:14.329><c> has</c><00:46:14.590><c> betrayed</c><00:46:14.989><c> him</c>

00:46:18.110 --> 00:46:20.110
