00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:06.980
Oh,<00:13:05.159><c> don't</c><00:13:05.259><c> let</c><00:13:05.419><c> me</c><00:13:05.600><c> fall</c><00:13:05.879><c> into</c><00:13:06.080><c> the</c><00:13:06.240><c> hands</c><00:13:06.419><c> of</c><00:13:06.700><c> men.</c>

00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.620
He's<00:13:07.500><c> had</c><00:13:07.600><c> enough</c><00:13:07.820><c> of</c><00:13:08.039><c> men</c><00:13:08.159><c> but</c><00:13:08.279><c> let</c><00:13:08.460><c> me</c><00:13:08.799><c> fall</c><00:13:09.080><c> into</c><00:13:09.299><c> the</c><00:13:09.440><c> hands</c>

00:13:12.659 --> 00:13:15.100
And<00:13:12.840><c> so</c><00:13:12.940><c> they</c><00:13:13.120><c> began</c><00:13:13.340><c> to</c><00:13:13.580><c> run</c><00:13:13.700><c> the</c><00:13:13.940><c> pestilence</c><00:13:14.340><c> through</c><00:13:14.519><c> Israel</c>

Someone<00:20:12.339><c> said</c><00:20:12.519><c> to</c><00:20:12.680><c> me</c><00:20:12.799><c> this</c><00:20:13.000><c> morning</c><00:20:13.319><c> he</c><00:20:13.460><c> was</c><00:20:13.720><c> a</c><00:20:13.960><c> grim</c><00:20:14.299><c> realist</c>

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:18.200
and<00:20:16.579><c> so</c><00:20:16.779><c> he</c><00:20:17.000><c> was.</c>

00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:21.720
But<00:20:18.539><c> he</c><00:20:18.640><c> made</c><00:20:18.819><c> his</c><00:20:19.019><c> mistake</c><00:20:19.519><c> when</c><00:20:19.740><c> he</c><00:20:19.940><c> forsook</c><00:20:20.180><c> David</c><00:20:20.519><c> on</c><00:20:20.720><c> his</c><00:20:20.940><c> deathbed</c>

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.380
thinking<00:20:22.240><c> that</c><00:20:22.519><c> thereby</c><00:20:22.880><c> he</c><00:20:23.319><c> could</c><00:20:23.559><c> secure</c><00:20:24.400><c> his</c><00:20:24.839><c> captaincy</c>

but<00:20:27.279><c> the</c><00:20:27.440><c> Lord</c><00:20:27.579><c> would</c><00:20:27.740><c> not</c><00:20:27.859><c> have</c><00:20:27.960><c> it</c><00:20:28.240><c> so.</c>

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.000
And<00:20:29.579><c> so</c><00:20:29.720><c> a</c><00:20:29.839><c> Donnager's</c><00:20:30.299><c> party</c><00:20:30.500><c> breaks</c><00:20:30.819><c> up</c>

A<00:20:48.900><c> Donnager</c><00:20:49.359><c> later</c><00:20:49.839><c> on</c><00:20:50.619><c> by</c><00:20:51.240><c> his</c><00:20:51.400><c> own</c><00:20:51.599><c> mistake</c><00:20:51.960><c> will</c><00:20:52.119><c> be</c><00:20:52.220><c> put</c><00:20:52.359><c> to</c><00:20:52.539><c> death</c>

00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:54.859
and<00:20:53.299><c> perhaps</c><00:20:53.539><c> I</c><00:20:53.660><c> should</c><00:20:53.799><c> make</c><00:20:53.980><c> a</c><00:20:54.160><c> comment</c><00:20:54.339><c> here.</c>

00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:57.859
Some<00:20:55.460><c> have</c><00:20:55.640><c> wondered</c><00:20:55.819><c> why</c><00:20:56.059><c> it</c><00:20:56.279><c> is</c><00:20:56.559><c> that</c><00:20:56.940><c> he</c><00:20:57.140><c> should</c><00:20:57.259><c> be</c><00:20:57.440><c> put</c><00:20:57.579><c> to</c><00:20:57.740><c> death</c>

00:20:57.859 --> 00:21:01.000
just<00:20:58.240><c> because</c><00:20:58.619><c> he</c><00:20:58.900><c> sought</c><00:20:59.299><c> Abishag</c><00:21:00.039><c> the</c><00:21:00.200><c> Shunammite,</c>

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:05.359
that<00:21:01.900><c> one</c><00:21:02.460><c> maiden</c><00:21:02.839><c> who</c><00:21:03.039><c> was</c><00:21:03.240><c> given</c><00:21:03.380><c> to</c><00:21:03.640><c> David</c><00:21:04.160><c> on</c><00:21:04.859><c> his</c><00:21:05.079><c> deathbed</c>

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.579
to<00:21:05.599><c> comfort</c><00:21:05.819><c> him</c><00:21:06.299><c> and</c><00:21:06.519><c> to</c><00:21:06.720><c> minister</c><00:21:06.940><c> unto</c><00:21:07.200><c> him.</c>

00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:09.819
And<00:21:07.839><c> the</c><00:21:07.980><c> reason</c><00:21:08.200><c> I</c><00:21:08.380><c> think</c><00:21:08.839><c> is</c><00:21:09.400><c> this,</c>

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:13.279
that<00:21:10.539><c> the</c><00:21:10.680><c> one</c><00:21:10.940><c> who</c><00:21:11.140><c> possessed</c><00:21:11.460><c> the</c><00:21:11.779><c> concubines</c><00:21:12.380><c> was</c><00:21:12.700><c> king</c>

00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:16.000
and<00:21:14.019><c> if</c><00:21:14.180><c> anyone</c><00:21:14.420><c> took</c><00:21:14.640><c> them</c><00:21:14.819><c> over</c><00:21:15.140><c> after</c><00:21:15.480><c> him</c>

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:20.299
that<00:21:16.619><c> meant</c><00:21:16.940><c> that</c><00:21:17.140><c> he</c><00:21:17.359><c> also</c><00:21:17.740><c> was</c><00:21:18.039><c> king</c><00:21:18.500><c> in</c><00:21:19.259><c> succession.</c>

00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.400
Now<00:21:20.980><c> I</c><00:21:21.099><c> can</c><00:21:21.220><c> prove</c><00:21:21.339><c> this</c><00:21:21.539><c> quite</c><00:21:21.759><c> simply</c><00:21:21.980><c> because</c><00:21:22.319><c> God</c><00:21:22.579><c> said</c><00:21:22.900><c> to</c><00:21:23.119><c> David</c>

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.220
that<00:21:23.819><c> he</c><00:21:23.980><c> had</c><00:21:24.099><c> given</c><00:21:24.240><c> to</c><00:21:24.480><c> him</c><00:21:24.660><c> all</c><00:21:25.019><c> that</c><00:21:25.240><c> belonged</c><00:21:25.480><c> unto</c><00:21:25.839><c> Saul</c>

00:21:27.220 --> 00:21:28.740

00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:30.799
It<00:21:29.099><c> was</c><00:21:29.319><c> a</c><00:21:29.440><c> mark</c><00:21:29.559><c> of</c><00:21:29.819><c> office</c>

00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.000
and<00:21:31.259><c> thus</c><00:21:31.400><c> it</c><00:21:31.700><c> was</c><00:21:32.039><c> that</c><00:21:32.200><c> to</c><00:21:32.480><c> seek</c><00:21:32.940><c> Abishag</c><00:21:33.539><c> the</c><00:21:33.700><c> Shunammite</c>

and<00:21:38.500><c> for</c><00:21:38.640><c> that</c><00:21:38.859><c> reason</c><00:21:39.160><c> the</c><00:21:39.339><c> Donnager</c><00:21:39.579><c> had</c><00:21:39.740><c> to</c><00:21:39.980><c> die.</c>

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:43.539

00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.059

00:26:34.900 --> 00:26:38.319
because<00:26:35.099><c> I</c><00:26:35.240><c> has</c><00:26:35.339><c> been</c><00:26:35.519><c> a</c><00:26:35.640><c> man</c><00:26:35.740><c> of</c><00:26:35.960><c> war</c><00:26:36.359><c> and</c><00:26:36.740><c> has</c><00:26:36.960><c> shed</c><00:26:37.119><c> blood.</c>

And<00:26:39.319><c> having</c><00:26:39.440><c> made</c><00:26:39.619><c> his</c><00:26:39.819><c> confession,</c>

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:43.779

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:54.059
Although<00:26:52.599><c> he</c><00:26:52.720><c> was</c><00:26:52.880><c> not</c><00:26:53.059><c> allowed</c><00:26:53.380><c> to</c><00:26:53.660><c> build,</c>

00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:17.339
Because<00:27:15.839><c> we</c><00:27:15.980><c> can't</c><00:27:16.259><c> perform</c><00:27:16.539><c> one</c><00:27:16.900><c> service,</c>

Take<00:27:27.240><c> it.</c>
