I<00:19:12.539><c> think</c><00:19:12.680><c> there</c><00:19:12.839><c> was</c><00:19:12.960><c> an</c><00:19:13.140><c> association</c><00:19:13.539><c> of</c><00:19:13.819><c> family.</c>

00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:17.480
I'm<00:19:14.960><c> quite</c><00:19:15.299><c> certain</c><00:19:15.619><c> that</c><00:19:16.079><c> you</c><00:19:16.339><c> remember</c><00:19:16.660><c> when</c><00:19:16.940><c> Amnon</c>

00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.579
I<00:19:21.319><c> think</c><00:19:21.420><c> he</c><00:19:21.539><c> had</c><00:19:21.680><c> an</c><00:19:21.859><c> affection</c><00:19:22.160><c> for</c><00:19:22.359><c> his</c><00:19:22.599><c> children,</c>

00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:42.859

Yes,<00:29:01.539><c> he'd</c><00:29:01.839><c> lost</c><00:29:02.000><c> Tamar,</c><00:29:03.599><c> he'd</c><00:29:03.920><c> lost</c><00:29:04.640><c> Amnon</c>

00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:10.400
and<00:29:06.640><c> he</c><00:29:06.799><c> was</c><00:29:07.059><c> now</c><00:29:07.359><c> about</c><00:29:07.700><c> to</c><00:29:07.920><c> lose</c><00:29:08.420><c> Absalom,</c><00:29:09.799><c> his</c><00:29:09.960><c> affection</c>

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:12.119
to<00:29:10.720><c> slip</c><00:29:10.900><c> away.</c>

00:29:12.819 --> 00:29:15.980
And<00:29:12.980><c> immediately,</c><00:29:13.500><c> without</c><00:29:13.819><c> any</c><00:29:14.160><c> hesitation</c><00:29:14.559><c> at</c><00:29:14.759><c> all,</c><00:29:14.880><c> he</c><00:29:15.119><c> panics</c>

00:29:15.980 --> 00:29:17.920
and<00:29:16.839><c> he</c><00:29:17.059><c> leaves</c><00:29:17.200><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:23.180
He's<00:29:18.599><c> bereft</c><00:29:19.380><c> of</c><00:29:19.559><c> his</c><00:29:19.779><c> former</c><00:29:20.019><c> strength,</c><00:29:21.460><c> his</c><00:29:21.660><c> former</c><00:29:21.839><c> courage,</c><00:29:23.000><c> his</c>

00:29:23.180 --> 00:29:24.140
former<00:29:23.400><c> resolution</c>

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:26.440
and<00:29:24.819><c> so</c><00:29:24.940><c> he</c><00:29:25.059><c> leaves</c><00:29:25.359><c> the</c><00:29:25.559><c> city.</c>

00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.400
Immediately,<00:29:27.660><c> it</c><00:29:27.660><c> seems</c><00:29:28.000><c> that</c><00:29:28.160><c> he</c><00:29:28.259><c> takes</c><00:29:28.500><c> this</c><00:29:28.759><c> message</c><00:29:28.980><c> to</c><00:29:29.240><c> heart</c>

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.940
and<00:29:29.579><c> without</c><00:29:29.859><c> consulting</c><00:29:30.400><c> God,</c><00:29:31.400><c> he</c><00:29:31.599><c> leaves</c><00:29:31.839><c> the</c><00:29:32.019><c> city</c>

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:35.220
and<00:29:33.819><c> all</c><00:29:34.079><c> his</c><00:29:34.299><c> servants.</c>

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:36.940
Oh<00:29:35.440><c> yes,</c><00:29:35.680><c> they</c><00:29:35.819><c> were</c><00:29:36.000><c> still</c><00:29:36.240><c> faithful</c><00:29:36.579><c> servants</c>

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:38.880
and<00:29:37.099><c> I'd</c><00:29:37.319><c> like</c><00:29:37.440><c> you</c><00:29:37.599><c> to</c><00:29:37.759><c> notice,</c><00:29:38.279><c> brethren</c><00:29:38.319><c> and</c><00:29:38.579><c> sisters,</c>

00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:42.380
who<00:29:39.539><c> are</c><00:29:39.819><c> among</c><00:29:40.160><c> these</c><00:29:40.539><c> people</c><00:29:41.039><c> that</c><00:29:41.480><c> David</c><00:29:41.700><c> is</c><00:29:41.920><c> able</c><00:29:42.059><c> to</c><00:29:42.259><c> take</c>

00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:42.980
with<00:29:42.599><c> him</c>

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:44.539
as<00:29:43.220><c> he</c><00:29:43.380><c> leaves</c><00:29:43.519><c> the</c><00:29:43.700><c> city.</c>

00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:47.359
And<00:29:44.980><c> the</c><00:29:45.059><c> king</c><00:29:45.220><c> went</c><00:29:45.460><c> forth,</c><00:29:45.940><c> verse</c><00:29:46.140><c> 17,</c><00:29:46.700><c> and</c><00:29:46.880><c> all</c><00:29:47.039><c> the</c><00:29:47.200><c> people</c>

00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:48.180
after<00:29:47.619><c> him</c>

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:51.900
and<00:29:48.880><c> tarried</c><00:29:49.279><c> in</c><00:29:49.720><c> a</c><00:29:50.039><c> place</c><00:29:50.259><c> that</c><00:29:50.400><c> was</c><00:29:50.680><c> far</c><00:29:50.980><c> off.</c>

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:55.140
Actually,<00:29:53.019><c> that's</c><00:29:53.319><c> not</c><00:29:53.980><c> probably</c><00:29:54.279><c> the</c><00:29:54.460><c> best</c><00:29:54.660><c> translation.</c>

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:58.119
It<00:29:55.539><c> looks</c><00:29:55.759><c> as</c><00:29:55.940><c> though</c><00:29:56.039><c> it</c><00:29:56.079><c> means</c><00:29:56.359><c> the</c><00:29:56.660><c> far</c><00:29:57.000><c> house,</c>

00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:01.680
a<00:29:58.460><c> point</c><00:29:58.660><c> outside</c><00:29:59.140><c> the</c><00:29:59.359><c> city,</c><00:30:00.440><c> probably</c><00:30:00.660><c> the</c><00:30:00.940><c> furthest</c><00:30:01.240><c> house,</c>

00:30:01.819 --> 00:30:04.819
the<00:30:01.980><c> last</c><00:30:02.259><c> house</c><00:30:02.680><c> outside</c><00:30:03.299><c> the</c><00:30:03.539><c> city</c><00:30:03.819><c> before</c><00:30:04.220><c> one</c><00:30:04.460><c> comes</c><00:30:04.680><c> to</c>

00:30:04.819 --> 00:30:05.339
the<00:30:04.960><c> wilderness.</c>

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.319
He<00:30:05.839><c> was</c><00:30:05.960><c> going</c><00:30:06.180><c> out</c><00:30:06.539><c> on</c><00:30:06.960><c> the</c><00:30:07.160><c> eastern</c><00:30:07.440><c> side</c><00:30:07.720><c> of</c><00:30:07.880><c> the</c><00:30:08.019><c> city,</c>

00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:10.500
through<00:30:08.700><c> the</c><00:30:08.920><c> eastern</c><00:30:09.200><c> gate,</c><00:30:09.660><c> out</c><00:30:09.880><c> of</c><00:30:10.039><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:13.920
toward<00:30:10.920><c> the</c><00:30:11.079><c> book</c><00:30:11.299><c> Kidron,</c><00:30:12.559><c> where</c><00:30:12.839><c> Olivet</c><00:30:13.319><c> stands.</c>

00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:16.059
That's<00:30:14.420><c> the</c><00:30:14.519><c> route</c><00:30:14.619><c> that</c><00:30:14.779><c> he's</c><00:30:14.980><c> taking.</c>

00:30:17.420 --> 00:30:20.720
Out<00:30:17.680><c> go</c><00:30:17.799><c> the</c><00:30:18.019><c> personal</c><00:30:18.420><c> bodyguards,</c><00:30:19.039><c> in</c><00:30:19.200><c> verse</c><00:30:19.420><c> 18.</c>

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:24.900
And<00:30:21.900><c> then</c><00:30:22.039><c> it</c><00:30:22.200><c> says,</c><00:30:22.539><c> and</c><00:30:22.539><c> all</c><00:30:22.880><c> the</c><00:30:23.079><c> Gittites,</c>

00:30:25.339 --> 00:30:28.940
six<00:30:25.559><c> hundred</c><00:30:25.859><c> men,</c><00:30:27.119><c> which</c><00:30:27.359><c> came</c><00:30:27.599><c> after</c><00:30:27.880><c> him</c><00:30:28.140><c> from</c><00:30:28.400><c> Gath,</c>

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:30.640
passed<00:30:29.380><c> on</c><00:30:29.839><c> before</c><00:30:30.099><c> the</c><00:30:30.299><c> king.</c>

00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:33.519
Now<00:30:31.299><c> it</c><00:30:31.400><c> seems</c><00:30:31.539><c> unlikely</c><00:30:31.880><c> that</c><00:30:32.039><c> this</c><00:30:32.200><c> is</c><00:30:32.339><c> Gathrimon,</c>

00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:34.779
the<00:30:33.740><c> city</c><00:30:34.000><c> of</c><00:30:34.180><c> the</c><00:30:34.359><c> priests,</c>

00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:38.779
but<00:30:35.420><c> rather</c><00:30:35.720><c> is</c><00:30:35.839><c> it,</c><00:30:36.059><c> I</c><00:30:36.079><c> think,</c><00:30:36.460><c> that</c><00:30:36.619><c> these</c><00:30:36.799><c> were</c><00:30:37.000><c> actually</c><00:30:37.420><c> Philistines</c>

00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:41.819
and<00:30:39.519><c> that</c><00:30:39.799><c> Ittai</c><00:30:40.180><c> the</c><00:30:40.299><c> Gittite,</c><00:30:40.799><c> of</c><00:30:40.960><c> verse</c><00:30:41.299><c> 19,</c>

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:46.380
was<00:30:42.059><c> a</c><00:30:42.259><c> man</c><00:30:42.759><c> of</c><00:30:43.039><c> Philistia</c><00:30:43.700><c> who</c><00:30:43.940><c> was</c><00:30:44.240><c> now</c><00:30:44.599><c> in</c><00:30:44.900><c> the</c><00:30:45.119><c> service</c><00:30:45.299><c> of</c><00:30:45.539><c> David.</c>

00:30:46.900 --> 00:30:49.039
And<00:30:47.380><c> I</c><00:30:47.500><c> think</c><00:30:47.640><c> that</c><00:30:47.859><c> David</c><00:30:48.059><c> had</c><00:30:48.319><c> won</c><00:30:48.440><c> his</c><00:30:48.680><c> allegiance</c>

00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:51.740

00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:55.019
Even<00:30:52.299><c> at</c><00:30:52.480><c> this</c><00:30:52.680><c> time</c><00:30:52.859><c> when</c><00:30:53.039><c> the</c><00:30:53.200><c> kingdom</c><00:30:53.819><c> appeared</c>

00:30:54.940 --> 00:30:58.299
to<00:30:55.200><c> have</c><00:30:55.400><c> passed</c><00:30:55.539><c> from</c><00:30:55.740><c> David</c><00:30:56.119><c> into</c><00:30:56.539><c> the</c><00:30:56.859><c> hands</c><00:30:57.140><c> of</c><00:30:57.759><c> Absalom,</c>

00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:01.859
this<00:30:58.799><c> man</c><00:30:59.000><c> with</c><00:30:59.180><c> his</c><00:30:59.420><c> six</c><00:30:59.660><c> hundred</c><00:31:00.079><c> in</c><00:31:00.559><c> his</c><00:31:00.960><c> love</c><00:31:01.220><c> for</c><00:31:01.420><c> David</c>

00:31:01.859 --> 00:31:03.000
would<00:31:02.240><c> not</c><00:31:02.480><c> depart.</c>

00:31:03.339 --> 00:31:06.180
I<00:31:03.500><c> think</c><00:31:03.700><c> the</c><00:31:03.880><c> way</c><00:31:04.099><c> in</c><00:31:04.160><c> which</c><00:31:04.400><c> David</c><00:31:05.019><c> brought</c><00:31:05.559><c> the</c><00:31:05.839><c> affection</c>

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:13.500
as<00:31:10.640><c> we</c><00:31:10.759><c> shall</c><00:31:10.940><c> see</c><00:31:11.259><c> in</c><00:31:11.579><c> this</c><00:31:11.799><c> chapter</c><00:31:12.180><c> and</c><00:31:12.519><c> the</c><00:31:12.640><c> succeeding</c><00:31:13.059><c> chapters,</c>

00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:15.519
is<00:31:13.980><c> something</c><00:31:14.380><c> most</c><00:31:14.980><c> remarkable.</c>

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.599
He<00:31:16.400><c> was</c><00:31:16.599><c> a</c><00:31:16.779><c> man</c><00:31:16.940><c> who,</c><00:31:17.539><c> by</c><00:31:17.779><c> the</c><00:31:18.019><c> depth</c><00:31:18.339><c> of</c><00:31:18.519><c> his</c><00:31:18.920><c> spirituality,</c>

What,<00:38:37.559><c> into</c><00:38:37.719><c> the</c><00:38:37.880><c> place</c><00:38:38.059><c> where</c><00:38:38.280><c> Absalom</c><00:38:38.679><c> will</c><00:38:38.900><c> be?</c>

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:41.500
They<00:38:40.300><c> must</c><00:38:40.519><c> have</c><00:38:40.639><c> thought</c><00:38:40.840><c> in</c><00:38:41.000><c> their</c><00:38:41.219><c> minds,</c>

If<00:38:43.139><c> I</c><00:38:44.099><c> shall</c><00:38:44.320><c> find</c><00:38:44.800><c> favour</c><00:38:45.179><c> in</c><00:38:45.480><c> the</c><00:38:45.699><c> eyes</c><00:38:45.900><c> of</c><00:38:46.079><c> the</c><00:38:46.219><c> Lord,</c>

00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:49.800

So<00:38:56.900><c> there</c><00:38:57.059><c> was</c><00:38:57.239><c> faith</c><00:38:57.500><c> in</c><00:38:57.699><c> David</c><00:38:57.900><c> then.</c>

00:38:58.659 --> 00:39:01.099
Oh,<00:38:59.019><c> there</c><00:38:59.099><c> was</c><00:38:59.300><c> faith,</c><00:38:59.739><c> brethren</c><00:38:59.940><c> and</c><00:39:00.199><c> sisters.</c>

00:39:01.820 --> 00:39:03.579
Something<00:39:02.079><c> that</c><00:39:02.199><c> could</c><00:39:02.380><c> never</c><00:39:02.579><c> be</c><00:39:02.800><c> destroyed.</c>

00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:06.440
And<00:39:04.179><c> an</c><00:39:04.440><c> awareness</c><00:39:04.880><c> of</c><00:39:05.219><c> the</c><00:39:05.400><c> righteousness</c><00:39:05.800><c> of</c><00:39:06.179><c> God</c>

00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:07.880

constantly<00:39:08.820><c> before</c><00:39:09.219><c> him.</c>

00:39:10.460 --> 00:39:12.280
And<00:39:10.659><c> so</c><00:39:10.820><c> it</c><00:39:10.940><c> is</c><00:39:11.059><c> that</c><00:39:11.179><c> as</c><00:39:11.300><c> the</c><00:39:11.480><c> ark</c><00:39:11.659><c> goes</c><00:39:12.019><c> back</c>

00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:16.179
and<00:39:13.039><c> oh,</c><00:39:13.360><c> how</c><00:39:13.699><c> David's</c><00:39:14.539><c> heart</c><00:39:15.000><c> must</c><00:39:15.320><c> have</c><00:39:15.579><c> yearned.</c>

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:18.719
He'd<00:39:16.699><c> seen</c><00:39:16.820><c> the</c><00:39:17.099><c> ark</c><00:39:17.260><c> and</c><00:39:17.420><c> his</c><00:39:17.579><c> great</c><00:39:17.800><c> company</c><00:39:18.139><c> of</c><00:39:18.400><c> people.</c>

00:39:18.940 --> 00:39:19.900
He'd<00:39:19.239><c> heard</c><00:39:19.340><c> the</c><00:39:19.559><c> cry</c><00:39:19.739><c> of,</c>

00:39:20.059 --> 00:39:22.059
Lift<00:39:20.059><c> up</c><00:39:20.260><c> your</c><00:39:20.420><c> heads,</c><00:39:20.760><c> oh</c><00:39:20.900><c> ye</c><00:39:21.039><c> gates.</c>

00:39:22.139 --> 00:39:24.039
And<00:39:22.340><c> be</c><00:39:22.539><c> ye,</c><00:39:22.659><c> lift</c><00:39:22.739><c> up</c><00:39:22.940><c> ye</c><00:39:23.119><c> everlasting</c><00:39:23.619><c> doors,</c>

00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:25.780
and<00:39:24.199><c> the</c><00:39:24.300><c> king</c><00:39:24.480><c> of</c><00:39:24.800><c> glory</c><00:39:25.039><c> shall</c><00:39:25.219><c> come</c><00:39:25.480><c> in.</c>

00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:28.960
And<00:39:26.159><c> the</c><00:39:26.340><c> ark</c><00:39:26.480><c> was</c><00:39:26.679><c> now</c><00:39:26.920><c> returning</c><00:39:27.599><c> without</c><00:39:28.420><c> David</c>

00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:31.360
to<00:39:29.840><c> the</c><00:39:30.039><c> place</c><00:39:30.199><c> that</c><00:39:30.460><c> David</c><00:39:30.679><c> had</c><00:39:30.920><c> made</c><00:39:31.079><c> for</c><00:39:31.280><c> it,</c>

00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:32.820
that<00:39:31.519><c> little</c><00:39:31.880><c> tent.</c>

00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:34.800
And<00:39:33.840><c> David</c><00:39:34.059><c> couldn't</c><00:39:34.300><c> go</c><00:39:34.579><c> back.</c>

00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:36.519
And<00:39:35.059><c> Absalom</c><00:39:35.380><c> was</c><00:39:35.599><c> marching</c><00:39:36.000><c> northwards</c>

00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:39.079
for<00:39:36.659><c> fifty</c><00:39:37.019><c> miles</c><00:39:37.480><c> from</c><00:39:37.719><c> Hebron</c><00:39:38.139><c> toward</c><00:39:38.420><c> the</c><00:39:38.639><c> city</c>

00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:43.019
to<00:39:39.500><c> take</c><00:39:40.000><c> both</c><00:39:40.360><c> the</c><00:39:40.559><c> city</c><00:39:41.019><c> and</c><00:39:41.440><c> the</c><00:39:41.579><c> ark</c><00:39:41.719><c> of</c><00:39:41.960><c> God.</c>

00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:45.960
But<00:39:44.380><c> of</c><00:39:44.539><c> course</c><00:39:44.679><c> there</c><00:39:44.840><c> was</c><00:39:45.000><c> wisdom.</c>

00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:50.099
No,<00:39:46.519><c> there</c><00:39:46.559><c> was</c><00:39:46.900><c> faith</c><00:39:47.420><c> in</c><00:39:47.719><c> the</c><00:39:47.860><c> word</c><00:39:48.460><c> of</c><00:39:49.139><c> David.</c>

00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:56.860
There<00:39:52.599><c> was</c><00:39:52.760><c> faith</c><00:39:53.179><c> in</c><00:39:54.380><c> the</c><00:39:54.519><c> words</c><00:39:54.719><c> of</c><00:39:54.880><c> the</c><00:39:54.980><c> Lord</c><00:39:55.159><c> Jesus</c><00:39:55.519><c> Christ.</c>

00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:02.159
As<00:39:59.139><c> he</c><00:39:59.280><c> went</c><00:39:59.480><c> out</c><00:40:00.079><c> to</c><00:40:00.280><c> his</c><00:40:00.480><c> crucifixion</c>

00:40:02.179 --> 00:40:04.239
and<00:40:02.659><c> to</c><00:40:02.800><c> his</c><00:40:03.019><c> burial,</c>

00:40:05.340 --> 00:40:11.000
if<00:40:05.820><c> I</c><00:40:06.059><c> shall</c><00:40:06.260><c> find</c><00:40:06.659><c> favour</c><00:40:07.300><c> in</c><00:40:09.059><c> the</c><00:40:09.260><c> eyes</c><00:40:09.420><c> of</c><00:40:09.599><c> the</c><00:40:09.739><c> Lord,</c>

00:40:11.940 --> 00:40:14.480
he<00:40:12.420><c> will</c><00:40:12.639><c> bring</c><00:40:12.860><c> me</c><00:40:13.139><c> again</c>

00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:19.760
and<00:40:15.280><c> show</c><00:40:15.500><c> me</c><00:40:15.719><c> both</c><00:40:16.000><c> it</c><00:40:16.639><c> and</c><00:40:18.179><c> his</c><00:40:18.460><c> habitation.</c>

00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:22.900
So<00:40:21.340><c> it's</c><00:40:21.460><c> not</c><00:40:21.659><c> just</c><00:40:21.880><c> David.</c>

00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:25.460
This<00:40:24.119><c> is</c><00:40:24.260><c> Jesus,</c><00:40:24.840><c> this</c><00:40:25.019><c> chapter.</c>

00:40:25.780 --> 00:40:27.599
Oh,<00:40:25.920><c> it's</c><00:40:26.079><c> Jesus</c><00:40:26.300><c> in</c><00:40:26.420><c> a</c><00:40:26.519><c> very</c><00:40:26.739><c> wonderful</c><00:40:27.019><c> way.</c>

00:40:27.940 --> 00:40:30.139
He's<00:40:28.179><c> taken</c><00:40:28.360><c> out</c><00:40:28.559><c> of</c><00:40:28.719><c> Jerusalem</c><00:40:29.099><c> when</c><00:40:29.300><c> the</c><00:40:29.480><c> people</c>

00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:33.900
He<00:40:31.940><c> too</c><00:40:32.179><c> has</c><00:40:32.380><c> to</c><00:40:32.539><c> pass</c><00:40:32.760><c> over</c><00:40:32.960><c> the</c><00:40:33.119><c> book</c><00:40:33.340><c> Kidron</c>

00:40:36.659 --> 00:40:37.880
Is<00:40:36.800><c> it</c><00:40:36.940><c> the</c><00:40:37.019><c> Mount</c><00:40:37.219><c> of</c><00:40:37.420><c> Olives?</c>

Verse<00:40:38.360><c> 30.</c>

00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:41.780
And<00:40:39.800><c> David</c><00:40:40.079><c> went</c><00:40:40.320><c> up</c><00:40:40.679><c> by</c><00:40:40.940><c> the</c><00:40:41.139><c> ascent</c>

00:46:09.059 --> 00:46:11.739
We<00:46:09.940><c> thought</c><00:46:10.159><c> David</c><00:46:10.579><c> was</c><00:46:10.800><c> a</c><00:46:11.000><c> king,</c>

00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:16.820
but<00:46:15.019><c> they</c><00:46:15.139><c> were</c><00:46:15.280><c> not</c><00:46:15.440><c> like</c><00:46:15.719><c> yours.</c>

00:46:17.219 --> 00:46:19.019
And<00:46:17.360><c> so</c><00:46:17.420><c> he</c><00:46:17.619><c> casts</c><00:46:18.019><c> some</c><00:46:18.400><c> curses</c>

00:46:19.019 --> 00:46:21.420

00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:27.139
Oh,<00:46:26.099><c> their</c><00:46:26.219><c> allegiance</c><00:46:26.599><c> to</c><00:46:26.900><c> David</c>

00:46:32.980 --> 00:46:35.980
It's<00:46:33.400><c> the</c><00:46:33.559><c> Lord</c><00:46:33.800><c> who's</c><00:46:34.139><c> told</c><00:46:34.300><c> him</c><00:46:34.460><c> to</c><00:46:34.699><c> curse</c><00:46:34.880><c> David.</c>

Where<00:46:37.219><c> had</c><00:46:37.380><c> this</c><00:46:37.619><c> man</c><00:46:37.800><c> come</c><00:46:38.079><c> from?</c>

00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:41.480
Oh,<00:46:39.840><c> he's</c><00:46:40.019><c> come</c><00:46:40.199><c> from</c><00:46:40.380><c> the</c><00:46:40.420><c> city</c><00:46:40.719><c> of</c><00:46:41.000><c> Bahurim</c>

00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:44.760
Bahurim,<00:46:44.280><c> Bahurim,</c>

00:46:44.860 --> 00:46:47.300

Yes,<00:46:47.920><c> there's</c><00:46:48.239><c> Michael's</c><00:46:48.840><c> second</c><00:46:49.000><c> husband</c><00:46:49.460><c> in</c><00:46:49.719><c> Bahurim.</c>

00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:53.840
He<00:46:53.000><c> went</c><00:46:53.199><c> back</c><00:46:53.460><c> weeping</c>

00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:56.599

Oh,<00:48:06.480><c> he</c><00:48:06.539><c> said</c><00:48:06.659><c> he</c><00:48:06.719><c> was</c><00:48:06.860><c> getting</c><00:48:07.039><c> his</c><00:48:07.320><c> horse,</c>

00:48:07.699 --> 00:48:11.119
but<00:48:07.960><c> he</c><00:48:08.639><c> didn't</c><00:48:08.840><c> seem</c><00:48:09.019><c> to</c><00:48:09.119><c> come</c><00:48:09.360><c> out.</c>

00:48:12.340 --> 00:48:13.840
And<00:48:12.480><c> Zeba</c><00:48:12.820><c> spreads</c><00:48:13.360><c> the</c><00:48:13.599><c> rumor,</c>

00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.300
and<00:48:14.280><c> we're</c><00:48:14.579><c> not</c><00:48:14.920><c> quite</c><00:48:15.280><c> sure</c><00:48:15.780><c> of</c><00:48:16.099><c> Zeba</c><00:48:16.420><c> here.</c>

00:48:17.460 --> 00:48:20.019
I<00:48:17.760><c> rather</c><00:48:18.099><c> feel</c><00:48:18.500><c> that</c><00:48:18.780><c> Zeba's</c><00:48:19.159><c> allegiance</c><00:48:19.480><c> was</c><00:48:19.800><c> right,</c>

00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:22.360
but<00:48:20.159><c> I</c><00:48:20.260><c> think</c><00:48:20.340><c> he</c><00:48:20.500><c> got</c><00:48:20.639><c> some</c><00:48:21.000><c> greediness</c><00:48:21.360><c> underneath.</c>

00:48:22.659 --> 00:48:24.019
His<00:48:22.820><c> master</c><00:48:23.019><c> was</c><00:48:23.300><c> lame,</c><00:48:23.579><c> you</c><00:48:23.840><c> see,</c>

00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:27.460
and<00:48:24.940><c> I</c><00:48:25.199><c> think</c><00:48:25.420><c> Zeba,</c><00:48:25.840><c> in</c><00:48:26.119><c> a</c><00:48:26.260><c> way,</c>

00:48:28.980 --> 00:48:31.079
wanted<00:48:29.380><c> to</c><00:48:29.739><c> make</c><00:48:29.860><c> an</c><00:48:30.079><c> impression</c><00:48:30.420><c> upon</c><00:48:30.699><c> David.</c>

00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:33.940
I<00:48:31.360><c> think</c><00:48:31.500><c> he</c><00:48:31.980><c> was</c><00:48:32.079><c> going</c><00:48:32.219><c> to</c><00:48:32.340><c> do</c><00:48:32.519><c> David</c><00:48:32.719><c> a</c><00:48:32.880><c> service,</c>

00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:37.320
but<00:48:34.219><c> I</c><00:48:34.300><c> think</c><00:48:34.460><c> in</c><00:48:34.800><c> the</c><00:48:35.059><c> course</c><00:48:35.280><c> of</c><00:48:35.519><c> doing</c><00:48:35.739><c> David</c><00:48:36.639><c> a</c><00:48:36.820><c> service,</c>

00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:40.659
he<00:48:37.639><c> could</c><00:48:37.880><c> also</c><00:48:38.239><c> secure</c><00:48:39.239><c> Mephibosheth's</c><00:48:40.320><c> property.</c>

00:48:40.980 --> 00:48:41.880
He'd<00:48:41.019><c> do</c><00:48:41.199><c> it.</c>

00:48:42.059 --> 00:48:44.400
And<00:48:42.179><c> so</c><00:48:42.300><c> he</c><00:48:42.400><c> brings</c><00:48:42.739><c> all</c><00:48:43.000><c> kinds</c><00:48:43.260><c> of</c><00:48:43.440><c> blessings</c><00:48:43.699><c> to</c><00:48:43.960><c> David</c><00:48:44.179><c> on</c>

00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:44.880
the<00:48:44.559><c> way.</c>

00:48:45.219 --> 00:48:48.840
And<00:48:45.380><c> at</c><00:48:45.500><c> the</c><00:48:45.619><c> same</c><00:48:45.920><c> time,</c><00:48:46.280><c> Mephibosheth</c><00:48:47.059><c> has</c><00:48:47.340><c> done</c><00:48:47.480><c> a</c><00:48:47.679><c> disservice.</c>

00:48:49.019 --> 00:48:50.920
It<00:48:49.219><c> looks</c><00:48:49.420><c> as</c><00:48:49.539><c> though</c><00:48:49.599><c> he's</c><00:48:49.659><c> been</c><00:48:49.880><c> left</c><00:48:50.199><c> in</c><00:48:50.400><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:48:51.019 --> 00:48:54.039
and<00:48:51.320><c> he's</c><00:48:51.420><c> been</c><00:48:51.619><c> left</c><00:48:51.820><c> there</c><00:48:52.360><c> because</c><00:48:52.699><c> he</c><00:48:52.880><c> wants</c><00:48:53.139><c> to</c><00:48:53.320><c> be</c><00:48:53.400><c> with</c><00:48:53.599><c> Absalom.</c>

00:48:54.179 --> 00:48:56.219
In<00:48:54.380><c> fact,</c><00:48:54.780><c> one</c><00:48:54.880><c> would</c><00:48:55.139><c> think</c><00:48:55.280><c> for</c><00:48:55.460><c> the</c><00:48:55.619><c> moment,</c><00:48:55.840><c> of</c><00:48:56.019><c> course,</c>

00:48:56.219 --> 00:48:58.239
that<00:48:56.400><c> being</c><00:48:56.739><c> Saul's</c><00:48:57.679><c> grandson,</c>

00:48:58.659 --> 00:49:01.420
he'd<00:48:58.780><c> very</c><00:48:58.880><c> good</c><00:48:59.139><c> reason</c><00:48:59.440><c> to</c><00:48:59.659><c> see</c><00:48:59.780><c> the</c><00:48:59.960><c> downfall</c><00:49:00.360><c> of</c><00:49:00.619><c> David.</c>

00:49:02.519 --> 00:49:06.300
But<00:49:02.760><c> I</c><00:49:03.500><c> rather</c><00:49:04.039><c> wonder</c><00:49:04.519><c> about</c><00:49:04.860><c> this</c><00:49:05.119><c> man</c><00:49:05.360><c> Zeba.</c>

00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:08.360
I<00:49:06.480><c> think</c><00:49:06.599><c> he</c><00:49:06.719><c> was</c><00:49:06.860><c> a</c><00:49:06.960><c> little</c><00:49:07.179><c> too</c><00:49:07.500><c> faced,</c>

00:49:08.500 --> 00:49:09.599
a<00:49:08.599><c> little</c><00:49:08.800><c> glib</c><00:49:08.980><c> of</c><00:49:09.199><c> tongue,</c>

00:49:09.940 --> 00:49:12.380
and<00:49:10.260><c> I'm</c><00:49:10.400><c> not</c><00:49:10.579><c> sure</c><00:49:10.780><c> whether</c><00:49:10.980><c> David</c><00:49:11.280><c> was</c><00:49:11.599><c> somewhat</c><00:49:11.880><c> taken</c><00:49:12.159><c> in</c>

00:49:12.380 --> 00:49:12.960
by<00:49:12.599><c> him,</c>

00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:15.820
because<00:49:13.340><c> later</c><00:49:13.619><c> on</c><00:49:13.760><c> he's</c><00:49:13.980><c> got</c><00:49:14.059><c> to</c><00:49:14.340><c> compromise</c><00:49:14.820><c> in</c><00:49:15.179><c> what</c><00:49:15.320><c> he</c><00:49:15.539><c> does</c>

00:49:15.820 --> 00:49:18.880
with<00:49:16.139><c> the</c><00:49:16.380><c> estate</c><00:49:16.699><c> that</c><00:49:17.139><c> belongs</c><00:49:17.400><c> to</c><00:49:17.679><c> Jonathan's</c><00:49:18.199><c> son.</c>
