00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:32.219
Well,<00:00:26.239><c> brothers</c><00:00:26.300><c> and</c><00:00:26.539><c> sisters,</c><00:00:28.820><c> we're</c><00:00:29.100><c> again</c><00:00:29.480><c> faced</c><00:00:30.260><c> with</c><00:00:30.519><c> the</c><00:00:30.699><c> fact</c><00:00:30.899><c> that</c><00:00:31.160><c> there's</c><00:00:31.440><c> something</c><00:00:31.739><c> about</c><00:00:32.020><c> a</c>

Bible<00:00:32.520><c> school,</c>

00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:42.840

Bible<00:00:43.179><c> school.</c>

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:48.460
And<00:00:44.979><c> I</c><00:00:45.159><c> think</c><00:00:45.640><c> it's</c><00:00:46.299><c> even</c><00:00:46.679><c> faster</c><00:00:47.079><c> at</c><00:00:47.320><c> Shippensburg.</c>

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.500
And<00:00:50.159><c> one</c><00:00:50.340><c> of</c><00:00:50.420><c> the</c><00:00:50.479><c> reasons</c><00:00:50.920><c> for</c><00:00:51.240><c> that</c><00:00:51.460><c> is</c><00:00:51.659><c> because</c><00:00:52.020><c> I'm</c><00:00:52.320><c> still</c>

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:54.060

00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.179
It<00:00:54.939><c> seems</c><00:00:55.219><c> like</c><00:00:55.439><c> we're</c><00:00:55.759><c> starting</c><00:00:56.100><c> at</c><00:00:56.420><c> the</c><00:00:56.640><c> same</c><00:00:56.859><c> time</c><00:00:57.039><c> we're</c><00:00:57.259><c> finishing.</c>

00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:01.439
I<00:00:58.979><c> suppose</c><00:00:59.280><c> as</c><00:00:59.539><c> the</c><00:00:59.640><c> Bible</c><00:00:59.939><c> school</c><00:01:00.219><c> gets</c><00:01:00.500><c> bigger,</c><00:01:01.200><c> that</c>

00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:02.939
phenomenon<00:01:01.859><c> increases.</c>

00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:09.879
But<00:01:04.959><c> because</c><00:01:05.260><c> it</c><00:01:05.420><c> goes</c><00:01:05.680><c> by</c><00:01:06.000><c> so</c><00:01:06.459><c> fast,</c><00:01:06.819><c> sometimes</c><00:01:07.379><c> we</c><00:01:07.879><c> don't</c><00:01:08.180><c> really</c><00:01:08.599><c> think</c><00:01:09.200><c> of</c>

00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.040
the<00:01:10.079><c> things</c><00:01:10.239><c> that</c><00:01:10.480><c> make</c><00:01:10.640><c> this</c><00:01:10.939><c> time</c><00:01:11.239><c> valuable</c><00:01:11.900><c> together.</c>

00:01:16.459 --> 00:01:22.060
When<00:01:16.939><c> you</c><00:01:17.180><c> think</c><00:01:17.359><c> that</c><00:01:17.560><c> you</c><00:01:17.680><c> can</c><00:01:17.920><c> take</c><00:01:18.159><c> a</c><00:01:18.359><c> man</c><00:01:18.519><c> from</c><00:01:19.200><c> the</c><00:01:19.359><c> United</c><00:01:19.620><c> Kingdom,</c><00:01:21.719><c> a</c><00:01:21.840><c> man</c>

00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:30.819
this<00:01:29.879><c> week.</c>

00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:37.859
And<00:01:33.000><c> yet,</c><00:01:34.319><c> I</c><00:01:34.379><c> dare</c><00:01:34.560><c> say,</c><00:01:35.280><c> brothers</c><00:01:35.319><c> and</c><00:01:35.579><c> sisters,</c><00:01:36.000><c> that</c><00:01:36.840><c> we</c><00:01:37.299><c> would</c><00:01:37.480><c> have</c><00:01:37.640><c> an</c>

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.959
Now<00:01:45.560><c> that</c><00:01:45.719><c> says</c><00:01:45.959><c> something.</c>

00:01:49.379 --> 00:01:51.599
There<00:01:49.579><c> must</c><00:01:49.819><c> be</c><00:01:50.019><c> some</c><00:01:50.400><c> common</c><00:01:50.719><c> denominator.</c>

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.900
How<00:01:52.420><c> is</c><00:01:52.680><c> it</c><00:01:52.879><c> that</c><00:01:53.159><c> minds</c><00:01:53.719><c> working</c><00:01:54.519><c> so</c><00:01:54.900><c> independently,</c><00:01:56.939><c> speaking</c><00:01:57.379><c> to</c><00:01:57.680><c> you</c>

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.520

that's<00:02:09.860><c> true</c><00:02:10.080><c> of.</c>

00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.479
You<00:02:13.280><c> even</c><00:02:13.520><c> look</c><00:02:13.699><c> in</c><00:02:13.860><c> other</c><00:02:14.039><c> religions</c><00:02:14.500><c> that</c><00:02:14.840><c> profess</c><00:02:15.120><c> to</c><00:02:15.300><c> be</c>

00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:21.139
That's<00:02:19.939><c> the</c><00:02:20.120><c> truth.</c>

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:23.659
That's<00:02:22.439><c> our</c><00:02:22.620><c> heritage.</c>

00:02:24.699 --> 00:02:27.939

00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:32.340
If<00:02:29.500><c> there's</c><00:02:29.780><c> any</c><00:02:30.020><c> honor,</c><00:02:30.680><c> if</c><00:02:30.699><c> there's</c><00:02:30.979><c> any</c><00:02:31.219><c> glory,</c><00:02:32.199><c> brothers</c>

00:02:35.219 --> 00:02:41.099

00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:47.060
There<00:02:44.780><c> are</c><00:02:44.939><c> little</c><00:02:45.180><c> differences</c><00:02:45.740><c> because</c><00:02:46.240><c> of</c><00:02:46.439><c> the</c><00:02:46.560><c> way</c><00:02:46.680><c> it's</c>

00:02:47.060 --> 00:02:50.800
happened,<00:02:48.419><c> but</c><00:02:48.659><c> we</c><00:02:48.919><c> should</c><00:02:49.099><c> all</c><00:02:49.419><c> appear</c><00:02:49.780><c> similar.</c>

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.979
There's<00:02:51.580><c> one</c><00:02:51.860><c> pattern.</c><00:02:52.319><c> The</c><00:02:52.520><c> pattern</c><00:02:52.879><c> is</c><00:02:53.159><c> his</c><00:02:53.419><c> son.</c>

00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:58.840
And<00:02:55.020><c> as</c><00:02:55.240><c> we</c><00:02:55.460><c> mature</c><00:02:56.000><c> and</c><00:02:56.360><c> as</c><00:02:56.620><c> we</c><00:02:56.819><c> go</c><00:02:57.099><c> further</c><00:02:57.479><c> in</c><00:02:57.719><c> the</c><00:02:57.939><c> application</c><00:02:58.419><c> of</c><00:02:58.599><c> this</c>

00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:07.520

And<00:27:06.809><c> look</c><00:27:06.910><c> at</c><00:27:07.069><c> the</c><00:27:07.210><c> way</c><00:27:07.369><c> this</c><00:27:07.630><c> was</c><00:27:07.950><c> worked</c><00:27:08.170><c> out</c><00:27:08.769><c> in</c><00:27:09.309><c> 1</c><00:27:09.549><c> Samuel</c>

00:27:12.529 --> 00:27:15.690
We've<00:27:12.869><c> had</c><00:27:12.970><c> the</c><00:27:13.190><c> pleasure</c><00:27:13.549><c> this</c><00:27:13.930><c> week,</c><00:27:14.329><c> brothers</c><00:27:14.410><c> and</c><00:27:14.650><c> sisters,</c><00:27:14.910><c> of</c><00:27:15.089><c> doing</c><00:27:15.309><c> this</c><00:27:15.529><c> in</c>

our<00:27:15.869><c> readings.</c>

00:27:17.309 --> 00:27:21.650
It's<00:27:17.470><c> been</c><00:27:17.609><c> very</c><00:27:18.329><c> helpful</c><00:27:18.890><c> to</c><00:27:19.809><c> have</c><00:27:19.950><c> been</c><00:27:20.170><c> reading</c><00:27:20.430><c> this</c><00:27:20.690><c> together</c><00:27:21.150><c> as</c>

00:27:21.650 --> 00:27:23.630
we've<00:27:21.910><c> been</c><00:27:22.109><c> studying</c><00:27:22.410><c> it</c><00:27:22.730><c> together.</c>

00:27:24.789 --> 00:27:28.490
But<00:27:25.289><c> this</c><00:27:25.529><c> is</c><00:27:25.750><c> just</c><00:27:26.009><c> one</c><00:27:26.190><c> of</c><00:27:26.349><c> two</c><00:27:26.529><c> cases</c><00:27:27.029><c> where</c><00:27:27.289><c> it</c><00:27:27.450><c> happened.</c>

00:27:29.130 --> 00:27:35.089
Where<00:27:29.369><c> God</c><00:27:29.650><c> provided</c><00:27:30.910><c> David's</c><00:27:32.109><c> salvation</c><00:27:32.750><c> in</c><00:27:33.609><c> a</c><00:27:33.869><c> special</c><00:27:34.109><c> way.</c>

00:27:35.670 --> 00:27:39.410
So<00:27:35.869><c> David</c><00:27:36.130><c> and</c><00:27:36.329><c> his</c><00:27:36.529><c> men</c><00:27:36.650><c> are</c><00:27:36.829><c> in</c><00:27:36.950><c> the</c><00:27:37.170><c> cave</c><00:27:37.549><c> and</c><00:27:38.869><c> Saul</c><00:27:39.089><c> and</c><00:27:39.269><c> his</c>

00:27:44.210 --> 00:27:47.009
And<00:27:44.410><c> David</c><00:27:44.609><c> is</c><00:27:44.829><c> able</c><00:27:44.990><c> to</c><00:27:45.150><c> go</c><00:27:45.309><c> up</c><00:27:45.490><c> to</c><00:27:45.690><c> Saul</c><00:27:45.849><c> and</c><00:27:46.029><c> cut</c><00:27:46.210><c> off</c><00:27:46.410><c> his</c><00:27:46.650><c> robe.</c>

00:27:47.390 --> 00:27:52.630
Which<00:27:47.630><c> means</c><00:27:47.990><c> that</c><00:27:48.609><c> there</c><00:27:48.930><c> were</c><00:27:49.390><c> no</c><00:27:49.930><c> awake</c><00:27:50.349><c> guards</c><00:27:50.950><c> for</c><00:27:51.750><c> Saul.</c>

00:27:52.769 --> 00:27:55.210
But<00:27:53.289><c> can</c><00:27:53.309><c> you</c><00:27:53.529><c> hardly</c><00:27:53.549><c> imagine</c><00:27:53.990><c> a</c><00:27:54.170><c> king</c><00:27:54.329><c> going</c><00:27:54.609><c> out</c><00:27:54.849><c> and</c><00:27:54.990><c> not</c>

00:27:58.849 --> 00:28:00.349

00:28:00.369 --> 00:28:03.349

00:28:06.490 --> 00:28:09.289
And<00:28:06.690><c> the</c><00:28:06.829><c> interesting</c><00:28:07.190><c> thing</c><00:28:07.529><c> is</c><00:28:07.730><c> there's</c><00:28:07.970><c> two</c><00:28:08.309><c> Psalms</c><00:28:08.670><c> he</c><00:28:08.869><c> writes</c><00:28:09.109><c> in</c>

00:28:11.490 --> 00:28:13.390
This<00:28:11.730><c> is</c><00:28:11.910><c> where</c><00:28:12.109><c> the</c><00:28:12.369><c> man's</c><00:28:12.849><c> mind</c><00:28:13.049><c> was.</c>

00:28:13.650 --> 00:28:16.470
It<00:28:13.789><c> was</c><00:28:14.029><c> not</c><00:28:14.289><c> being</c><00:28:14.529><c> overcome</c><00:28:15.029><c> with</c><00:28:15.210><c> the</c><00:28:15.509><c> evil</c><00:28:15.789><c> of</c><00:28:16.269><c> thinking,</c>

00:28:16.490 --> 00:28:18.829
well<00:28:16.710><c> there's</c><00:28:17.150><c> the</c><00:28:17.369><c> man</c><00:28:17.650><c> right</c><00:28:18.029><c> before</c><00:28:18.490><c> me.</c>

00:28:18.970 --> 00:28:20.509
Think<00:28:19.250><c> of</c><00:28:19.430><c> all</c><00:28:19.569><c> the</c><00:28:19.829><c> evil</c><00:28:20.009><c> he's</c><00:28:20.349><c> done.</c>

00:28:20.509 --> 00:28:22.430
Now<00:28:20.769><c> I</c><00:28:20.869><c> can</c><00:28:21.069><c> go</c><00:28:21.230><c> and</c><00:28:21.369><c> I</c><00:28:21.470><c> can</c><00:28:21.690><c> kill</c><00:28:21.869><c> him.</c>

00:28:22.789 --> 00:28:26.190
He<00:28:23.029><c> wasn't</c><00:28:23.490><c> being</c><00:28:24.490><c> overcome</c><00:28:25.250><c> with</c><00:28:25.750><c> evil.</c>

00:28:26.250 --> 00:28:28.369
He<00:28:26.490><c> wasn't</c><00:28:26.690><c> dwelling</c><00:28:26.930><c> on</c><00:28:27.190><c> it.</c>

But<00:34:34.650><c> my</c><00:34:34.969><c> people</c><00:34:35.309><c> would</c><00:34:35.630><c> not</c><00:34:36.030><c> hearken</c><00:34:36.389><c> to</c><00:34:36.630><c> my</c><00:34:36.869><c> voice,</c><00:34:38.449><c> and</c><00:34:38.710><c> Israel</c><00:34:39.010><c> would</c><00:34:39.369><c> none</c>

00:38:30.969 --> 00:38:34.829

00:38:39.869 --> 00:38:42.289
God<00:38:40.150><c> had</c><00:38:40.409><c> rejected</c><00:38:40.969><c> him</c><00:38:41.230><c> as</c><00:38:41.469><c> king.</c>

And<00:38:42.969><c> I</c><00:38:43.150><c> think</c><00:38:43.309><c> when</c><00:38:43.469><c> he</c><00:38:43.630><c> went</c><00:38:43.789><c> down</c><00:38:44.070><c> to</c><00:38:44.210><c> the</c><00:38:44.329><c> Witch</c><00:38:44.510><c> of</c><00:38:44.690><c> Endor,</c>

which<00:38:52.349><c> tells</c><00:38:52.690><c> us</c><00:38:53.010><c> that</c><00:38:53.250><c> God</c><00:38:53.630><c> judged</c><00:38:54.269><c> Saul</c><00:38:55.130><c> because</c><00:38:56.030><c> of</c><00:38:56.909><c> the</c><00:38:57.250><c> visiting</c><00:38:57.550><c> of</c>

00:39:04.070 --> 00:39:07.230
So<00:39:04.349><c> Saul</c><00:39:04.690><c> died</c><00:39:05.170><c> for</c><00:39:05.429><c> his</c><00:39:05.869><c> transgression</c><00:39:06.489><c> which</c><00:39:06.730><c> he</c><00:39:06.949><c> committed</c>

00:39:12.150 --> 00:39:16.670
and<00:39:12.750><c> also</c><00:39:13.530><c> for</c><00:39:14.170><c> asking</c><00:39:14.590><c> counsel</c><00:39:15.050><c> of</c><00:39:15.210><c> one</c><00:39:15.389><c> that</c><00:39:15.550><c> had</c><00:39:15.690><c> a</c><00:39:15.849><c> familiar</c><00:39:16.130><c> spirit</c>

00:39:20.130 --> 00:39:23.489
Therefore<00:39:20.590><c> he</c><00:39:20.849><c> slew</c><00:39:21.130><c> him</c><00:39:21.530><c> and</c><00:39:22.010><c> turned</c><00:39:22.250><c> the</c><00:39:22.449><c> kingdom</c><00:39:22.650><c> unto</c><00:39:22.889><c> David</c><00:39:23.289><c> the</c>

00:40:44.489 --> 00:40:47.530
Surely<00:40:45.010><c> we</c><00:40:45.269><c> shall</c><00:40:45.510><c> rejoice,</c><00:40:46.210><c> Lord</c><00:40:46.389><c> willing,</c><00:40:46.849><c> brothers</c><00:40:47.010><c> and</c><00:40:47.250><c> sisters,</c>

00:40:47.610 --> 00:40:49.389
to<00:40:47.809><c> meet</c><00:40:47.929><c> that</c><00:40:48.230><c> man</c><00:40:48.570><c> in</c><00:40:48.869><c> the</c><00:40:49.030><c> kingdom,</c>

00:40:49.829 --> 00:40:53.650
and<00:40:50.130><c> rejoice</c><00:40:50.590><c> with</c><00:40:50.949><c> him</c><00:40:51.510><c> in</c><00:40:52.030><c> a</c><00:40:52.170><c> kingship</c><00:40:52.610><c> far</c><00:40:52.909><c> beyond</c><00:40:53.309><c> what</c><00:40:53.489><c> he</c>

00:40:53.650 --> 00:40:56.050
could<00:40:53.789><c> have</c><00:40:53.969><c> got</c><00:40:54.130><c> at</c><00:40:54.289><c> that</c><00:40:54.530><c> particular</c><00:40:55.030><c> time.</c>

00:40:57.730 --> 00:41:01.150
And<00:40:58.250><c> it</c><00:40:58.369><c> wouldn't</c><00:40:58.550><c> be</c><00:40:58.889><c> proper</c><00:40:59.110><c> to</c><00:40:59.389><c> end</c><00:40:59.530><c> without</c><00:40:59.829><c> a</c><00:41:00.010><c> little</c><00:41:00.210><c> comment</c><00:41:00.630><c> about</c><00:41:00.929><c> the</c>

00:41:01.150 --> 00:41:02.670
way<00:41:01.309><c> Saul</c><00:41:01.550><c> died.</c>

00:41:03.789 --> 00:41:07.690
In<00:41:03.969><c> 1</c><00:41:04.170><c> Samuel</c><00:41:04.530><c> chapter</c><00:41:05.110><c> 31,</c><00:41:06.389><c> there</c><00:41:06.570><c> is</c><00:41:06.829><c> the</c><00:41:07.030><c> record</c><00:41:07.289><c> that</c><00:41:07.510><c> he</c>

00:41:07.690 --> 00:41:09.610
was<00:41:07.989><c> hit</c><00:41:08.150><c> of</c><00:41:08.369><c> the</c><00:41:08.650><c> archers.</c>

00:41:09.610 --> 00:41:13.949
In<00:41:10.590><c> verse</c><00:41:10.969><c> 3</c><00:41:11.329><c> and</c><00:41:11.469><c> 4,</c><00:41:12.010><c> he</c><00:41:12.030><c> was</c><00:41:12.389><c> sore</c><00:41:12.730><c> wounded.</c>

00:41:15.030 --> 00:41:17.929
He<00:41:15.630><c> contemplated</c><00:41:16.170><c> the</c><00:41:16.449><c> fact</c><00:41:16.670><c> that</c><00:41:16.969><c> the</c><00:41:17.250><c> Philistines</c><00:41:17.670><c> could</c>

00:41:17.929 --> 00:41:20.610
come<00:41:18.210><c> and</c><00:41:18.530><c> abuse</c><00:41:18.789><c> him</c><00:41:19.030><c> before</c><00:41:19.309><c> he</c><00:41:19.570><c> died.</c>

00:41:21.010 --> 00:41:25.369
So<00:41:21.610><c> he</c><00:41:22.210><c> sought</c><00:41:22.750><c> the</c><00:41:23.409><c> help</c><00:41:23.550><c> of</c><00:41:23.710><c> his</c><00:41:23.969><c> armor</c><00:41:24.329><c> bearer</c><00:41:24.909><c> so</c><00:41:25.150><c> that</c><00:41:25.289><c> he</c>

00:41:25.369 --> 00:41:25.929
would<00:41:25.590><c> die.</c>

00:41:26.010 --> 00:41:30.510
His<00:41:26.250><c> armor</c><00:41:26.489><c> bearer,</c><00:41:26.869><c> being</c><00:41:27.190><c> fearful</c><00:41:27.650><c> like</c><00:41:27.969><c> him,</c><00:41:29.050><c> would</c><00:41:29.230><c> not</c>

00:41:30.510 --> 00:41:31.469
kill<00:41:31.090><c> him.</c>

00:41:31.530 --> 00:41:34.630
So<00:41:31.889><c> he</c><00:41:32.030><c> took</c><00:41:32.250><c> a</c><00:41:32.550><c> sword</c><00:41:32.769><c> and</c><00:41:33.090><c> fell</c><00:41:33.309><c> upon</c><00:41:33.590><c> it,</c><00:41:33.869><c> and</c><00:41:33.969><c> it</c><00:41:34.170><c> mentions</c>

00:41:34.630 --> 00:41:36.030
that<00:41:35.409><c> he</c><00:41:35.690><c> died,</c>

00:41:36.030 --> 00:41:40.789
and<00:41:36.449><c> so</c><00:41:36.769><c> did</c><00:41:37.010><c> his</c><00:41:37.389><c> armor</c><00:41:37.750><c> bearer</c><00:41:38.090><c> the</c><00:41:38.210><c> same</c><00:41:38.429><c> day</c><00:41:38.690><c> together,</c><00:41:39.130><c> verse</c><00:41:39.329><c> 6.</c>

00:41:41.730 --> 00:41:44.230
But<00:41:41.889><c> there's</c><00:41:42.110><c> a</c><00:41:42.269><c> little</c><00:41:42.469><c> added</c><00:41:42.750><c> feature</c><00:41:43.090><c> that</c><00:41:43.309><c> comes</c><00:41:43.510><c> to</c><00:41:43.769><c> us</c>

00:41:44.230 --> 00:41:45.710
in<00:41:44.550><c> the</c><00:41:44.690><c> next</c><00:41:44.949><c> chapter,</c>

00:41:46.530 --> 00:41:49.989
and<00:41:46.670><c> that</c><00:41:46.809><c> is</c><00:41:46.949><c> where</c><00:41:47.110><c> this</c><00:41:47.449><c> man,</c><00:41:47.889><c> the</c><00:41:48.010><c> Amalekite,</c><00:41:48.610><c> comes</c><00:41:49.030><c> to</c>

00:41:49.989 --> 00:41:52.690
David<00:41:50.349><c> and</c><00:41:50.590><c> says</c><00:41:50.889><c> that</c><00:41:51.210><c> he</c><00:41:51.489><c> killed</c><00:41:51.829><c> Saul.</c>

00:41:53.989 --> 00:41:56.750
Now<00:41:54.250><c> whatever</c><00:41:54.469><c> we</c><00:41:54.690><c> might</c><00:41:54.869><c> think</c><00:41:55.110><c> of</c><00:41:55.269><c> this</c><00:41:55.750><c> man,</c><00:41:55.989><c> the</c><00:41:56.130><c> Amalekite,</c>

00:41:56.809 --> 00:42:00.869
that's<00:41:57.230><c> verse</c><00:41:57.449><c> 8</c><00:41:57.730><c> of</c><00:41:58.190><c> 2</c><00:41:58.969><c> Samuel</c><00:41:59.329><c> chapter</c><00:41:59.809><c> 1,</c>

00:42:01.130 --> 00:42:03.489
there<00:42:01.349><c> must</c><00:42:01.570><c> be</c><00:42:01.829><c> some</c><00:42:02.090><c> truth</c><00:42:02.289><c> in</c><00:42:02.429><c> what</c><00:42:02.570><c> he</c><00:42:02.769><c> said</c><00:42:02.969><c> because</c><00:42:03.349><c> he</c>

00:42:03.489 --> 00:42:04.909
was<00:42:03.690><c> able</c><00:42:03.929><c> to</c><00:42:04.309><c> bring</c>

00:42:04.909 --> 00:42:07.690
certain<00:42:05.489><c> things</c><00:42:05.949><c> from</c><00:42:06.289><c> Saul's</c><00:42:06.750><c> body.</c>

00:42:07.750 --> 00:42:10.469
He<00:42:07.889><c> had</c><00:42:08.090><c> the</c><00:42:08.329><c> crown</c><00:42:08.530><c> in</c><00:42:08.690><c> his</c><00:42:08.889><c> hand,</c><00:42:09.429><c> and</c><00:42:09.630><c> he</c><00:42:09.730><c> had</c><00:42:09.909><c> the</c><00:42:10.130><c> bracelet</c>

00:42:10.469 --> 00:42:11.929
that<00:42:10.650><c> was</c><00:42:10.809><c> on</c><00:42:10.969><c> his</c><00:42:11.190><c> arm.</c>

00:42:12.110 --> 00:42:15.869
So<00:42:12.530><c> he</c><00:42:12.750><c> must</c><00:42:13.070><c> have</c><00:42:13.269><c> visited</c><00:42:13.530><c> the</c><00:42:13.829><c> body,</c><00:42:14.530><c> whether</c><00:42:14.829><c> or</c><00:42:15.050><c> not</c><00:42:15.530><c> Saul</c>

00:42:15.869 --> 00:42:16.650
was<00:42:16.090><c> still</c><00:42:16.349><c> alive</c>

00:42:16.650 --> 00:42:19.909
is<00:42:16.849><c> a</c><00:42:17.030><c> question</c><00:42:17.289><c> that</c><00:42:17.469><c> we</c><00:42:17.590><c> will</c><00:42:17.769><c> not</c><00:42:17.989><c> know</c><00:42:18.190><c> the</c><00:42:18.329><c> answer</c><00:42:18.570><c> to</c><00:42:19.090><c> maybe</c><00:42:19.590><c> for</c>

00:42:19.909 --> 00:42:21.250
some<00:42:20.130><c> time</c><00:42:20.349><c> yet.</c>

00:42:21.630 --> 00:42:26.369
But<00:42:21.949><c> nevertheless,</c><00:42:23.730><c> from</c><00:42:24.289><c> the</c><00:42:24.610><c> record's</c><00:42:25.050><c> point</c><00:42:25.210><c> of</c><00:42:25.389><c> view,</c>

00:42:26.489 --> 00:42:31.210
how<00:42:26.809><c> appropriate</c><00:42:27.610><c> it</c><00:42:28.030><c> was</c><00:42:28.809><c> that</c><00:42:29.489><c> this</c><00:42:29.789><c> be</c><00:42:29.989><c> the</c><00:42:30.210><c> case.</c>

00:42:32.090 --> 00:42:36.110
God<00:42:32.690><c> said</c><00:42:33.070><c> to</c><00:42:33.489><c> Saul,</c><00:42:33.989><c> go</c><00:42:34.170><c> kill</c><00:42:34.590><c> the</c><00:42:34.809><c> Amalekites.</c>

00:42:36.989 --> 00:42:40.670
And<00:42:37.309><c> it</c><00:42:37.389><c> was</c><00:42:37.630><c> a</c><00:42:37.789><c> figurative</c><00:42:38.190><c> battle.</c><00:42:38.730><c> It</c><00:42:38.829><c> was</c><00:42:39.070><c> a</c><00:42:39.289><c> spiritual</c><00:42:39.710><c> battle.</c>

00:42:40.690 --> 00:42:46.130
Amalek<00:42:41.130><c> represented</c><00:42:42.050><c> this</c><00:42:42.829><c> nature</c><00:42:43.389><c> that</c><00:42:45.090><c> was</c><00:42:45.349><c> so</c><00:42:45.650><c> alive</c><00:42:45.889><c> and</c>

00:42:46.130 --> 00:42:47.369
well<00:42:46.250><c> in</c><00:42:46.530><c> Saul.</c>

00:42:47.750 --> 00:42:53.010
And<00:42:48.030><c> Saul</c><00:42:48.250><c> refused</c><00:42:48.989><c> to</c><00:42:49.230><c> do</c><00:42:49.389><c> it.</c><00:42:50.670><c> He</c><00:42:50.929><c> didn't</c><00:42:51.170><c> see</c><00:42:51.469><c> the</c><00:42:51.750><c> spiritual</c><00:42:52.130><c> lesson.</c>

00:42:54.170 --> 00:42:57.190
So<00:42:54.610><c> we</c><00:42:55.070><c> have</c><00:42:55.190><c> the</c><00:42:55.429><c> lesson</c><00:42:55.750><c> from</c><00:42:56.070><c> his</c><00:42:56.409><c> life</c><00:42:56.690><c> then,</c><00:42:57.050><c> brothers</c>

00:42:57.190 --> 00:42:57.769
and<00:42:57.469><c> sisters,</c>

00:42:57.769 --> 00:43:02.190
that<00:42:57.969><c> if</c><00:42:58.110><c> you</c><00:42:58.349><c> do</c><00:42:58.570><c> not</c><00:42:58.769><c> kill</c><00:42:58.989><c> the</c><00:42:59.250><c> flesh,</c><00:43:01.510><c> the</c><00:43:01.730><c> flesh</c><00:43:01.929><c> will</c>

00:43:02.190 --> 00:43:03.429
kill<00:43:02.369><c> you.</c>

00:43:04.510 --> 00:43:10.030
If<00:43:04.710><c> you</c><00:43:04.909><c> do</c><00:43:05.130><c> not</c><00:43:05.309><c> destroy</c><00:43:05.789><c> Amalek,</c><00:43:08.030><c> the</c><00:43:08.269><c> Amalekite</c><00:43:08.809><c> will</c><00:43:09.110><c> still</c><00:43:09.369><c> be</c><00:43:09.630><c> there</c>

00:43:10.030 --> 00:43:15.269
when<00:43:10.409><c> you</c><00:43:10.849><c> are</c><00:43:11.210><c> weak</c><00:43:11.750><c> and</c><00:43:12.849><c> weary</c><00:43:13.369><c> and</c><00:43:13.929><c> a</c><00:43:14.230><c> straggler.</c>

00:43:15.590 --> 00:43:17.909
