Where<00:09:23.899><c> he</c><00:09:24.799><c> rises</c><00:09:25.179><c> off</c><00:09:25.580><c> of</c><00:09:25.720><c> his</c><00:09:25.919><c> bed</c><00:09:26.179><c> in</c><00:09:26.379><c> an</c><00:09:26.580><c> evening</c><00:09:26.860><c> time.</c>

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.299
And<00:09:28.019><c> walked</c><00:09:28.220><c> upon</c><00:09:28.500><c> the</c><00:09:28.639><c> roof</c><00:09:28.799><c> of</c><00:09:28.960><c> his</c><00:09:29.100><c> house.</c>

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:34.360
And<00:09:31.960><c> things</c><00:09:32.100><c> would</c><00:09:32.279><c> never</c><00:09:32.419><c> be</c><00:09:32.620><c> the</c><00:09:32.779><c> same</c><00:09:32.919><c> for</c><00:09:33.100><c> the</c><00:09:33.200><c> house</c><00:09:33.379><c> of</c><00:09:33.620><c> David.</c>

00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:39.200
I<00:09:36.840><c> think</c><00:09:36.960><c> it's</c><00:09:37.120><c> important</c><00:09:37.440><c> just</c><00:09:37.620><c> to</c><00:09:37.799><c> consider</c><00:09:38.019><c> the</c><00:09:38.240><c> chronology.</c>

00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.000
It<00:09:39.879><c> helps</c><00:09:40.220><c> me.</c>

00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:42.720
Thinking<00:09:41.539><c> of</c><00:09:41.740><c> David.</c>

00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:44.559
It<00:09:43.340><c> gets</c><00:09:43.559><c> that</c><00:09:43.779><c> picture</c><00:09:44.080><c> in</c><00:09:44.259><c> your</c><00:09:44.440><c> head.</c>

00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.100
He's<00:09:44.779><c> approximately</c><00:09:45.940><c> 45.</c>

00:09:48.139 --> 00:09:50.820
And<00:09:48.480><c> these</c><00:09:48.600><c> are</c><00:09:48.759><c> the</c><00:09:48.860><c> things</c><00:09:49.080><c> that</c><00:09:50.039><c> have</c><00:09:50.299><c> already</c><00:09:50.559><c> happened</c>

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:51.379
in<00:09:50.980><c> his</c><00:09:51.200><c> reign.</c>

00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:53.500
The<00:09:51.539><c> great</c><00:09:51.740><c> blessings</c><00:09:52.220><c> which</c><00:09:52.440><c> he's</c><00:09:52.679><c> enjoyed.</c>

00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.440
And<00:09:54.759><c> we</c><00:09:54.860><c> have</c><00:09:54.960><c> him</c><00:09:55.139><c> falling</c><00:09:55.379><c> away</c><00:09:55.679><c> in</c><00:09:55.899><c> 2nd</c><00:09:56.240><c> Samuel</c><00:09:56.519><c> 11.</c>

00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.059
Well<00:10:01.000><c> just</c><00:10:01.139><c> before</c><00:10:01.379><c> we</c><00:10:01.480><c> get</c><00:10:01.639><c> to</c><00:10:01.759><c> another</c><00:10:01.980><c> chronology.</c>

00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.539
That<00:10:03.820><c> will</c><00:10:04.019><c> bring</c><00:10:04.100><c> us</c><00:10:04.299><c> really</c><00:10:04.559><c> up</c><00:10:04.740><c> to</c><00:10:04.960><c> speed</c><00:10:05.179><c> with</c><00:10:05.740><c> how</c><00:10:05.960><c> old</c><00:10:06.159><c> David</c><00:10:06.340><c> is</c>

00:10:06.539 --> 00:10:07.720
from<00:10:06.779><c> here</c><00:10:07.000><c> on.</c>

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:09.379
Let<00:10:08.259><c> me</c><00:10:08.399><c> just</c><00:10:08.600><c> focus</c><00:10:08.940><c> quickly.</c>

00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:12.039
I<00:10:09.539><c> should</c><00:10:09.720><c> have</c><00:10:09.840><c> put</c><00:10:09.919><c> this</c><00:10:10.139><c> slide</c><00:10:10.320><c> actually</c><00:10:10.679><c> afterwards.</c>

00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.500
Rebellion<00:10:14.220><c> to</c><00:10:14.360><c> Restoration.</c>

00:10:16.419 --> 00:10:18.879
These<00:10:16.580><c> are</c><00:10:16.740><c> the</c><00:10:16.919><c> seven</c><00:10:17.159><c> main</c><00:10:17.399><c> events</c><00:10:17.879><c> under</c><00:10:18.360><c> which</c><00:10:18.539><c> all</c><00:10:18.720><c> the</c>

00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:19.720
other<00:10:19.059><c> events</c><00:10:19.340><c> fall.</c>

00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:23.019
So<00:10:20.419><c> this</c><00:10:20.580><c> is</c><00:10:20.799><c> a</c><00:10:20.899><c> seven</c><00:10:21.139><c> point</c><00:10:21.440><c> summary</c><00:10:21.860><c> then.</c>

00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.100
Of<00:10:24.460><c> the</c><00:10:24.840><c> rebellion</c><00:10:25.259><c> to</c><00:10:25.480><c> restoration</c><00:10:26.039><c> period.</c>

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:31.419
Brother<00:10:27.919><c> Ryan</c><00:10:28.139><c> took</c><00:10:28.360><c> us</c><00:10:28.519><c> through</c><00:10:28.840><c> Annan's</c><00:10:29.820><c> disgraceful</c><00:10:30.320><c> actions.</c>

00:10:33.980 --> 00:10:36.679
As<00:10:34.340><c> well</c><00:10:34.539><c> as</c><00:10:34.700><c> Absalom's</c><00:10:35.580><c> calculated</c><00:10:36.000><c> murder.</c>

00:10:37.059 --> 00:10:39.879
And<00:10:37.240><c> flight</c><00:10:37.539><c> to</c><00:10:37.759><c> the</c><00:10:37.879><c> king</c><00:10:38.559><c> of</c><00:10:38.899><c> Gishur.</c>

00:10:41.059 --> 00:10:42.519
Who<00:10:41.179><c> was</c><00:10:41.340><c> his</c><00:10:41.539><c> grandfather.</c>

00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.980
We<00:10:44.659><c> also</c><00:10:44.879><c> spoke</c><00:10:45.100><c> about</c><00:10:45.340><c> his</c><00:10:45.600><c> return</c><00:10:46.059><c> and</c><00:10:46.299><c> his</c><00:10:46.600><c> shameful</c><00:10:47.000><c> rebellion.</c>

00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.299
We<00:10:48.840><c> read</c><00:10:49.059><c> about</c><00:10:49.299><c> David's</c><00:10:49.879><c> mournful</c><00:10:50.279><c> retreat.</c>

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:54.860
Our<00:10:51.679><c> brother</c><00:10:51.879><c> Matt</c><00:10:52.080><c> read</c><00:10:52.259><c> that</c><00:10:52.519><c> for</c><00:10:52.659><c> us</c><00:10:52.820><c> in</c><00:10:52.919><c> 2nd</c><00:10:53.279><c> Samuel</c><00:10:53.500><c> 15.</c>

00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:57.059
We<00:10:56.179><c> know</c><00:10:56.360><c> the</c><00:10:56.419><c> end</c><00:10:56.580><c> of</c><00:10:56.799><c> the</c><00:10:56.860><c> story.</c>

00:10:57.100 --> 00:10:59.600
The<00:10:57.279><c> rebels</c><00:10:57.600><c> are</c><00:10:57.960><c> decisively</c><00:10:58.519><c> defeated.</c>

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:05.240
The<00:10:59.799><c> children</c><00:11:00.039><c> of</c><00:11:00.139><c> Israel</c><00:11:00.820><c> under</c><00:11:02.019><c> Absalom</c><00:11:02.500><c> fall</c><00:11:03.019><c> by</c><00:11:03.480><c> the</c><00:11:03.700><c> forces</c><00:11:04.100><c> of</c><00:11:04.460><c> David.</c>

00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:08.779
The<00:11:06.440><c> sixth</c><00:11:06.639><c> point</c><00:11:06.899><c> is</c><00:11:07.080><c> the</c><00:11:07.340><c> king's</c><00:11:07.820><c> reception</c><00:11:08.240><c> and</c><00:11:08.480><c> his</c>

00:11:08.779 --> 00:11:09.879
kingdom's<00:11:09.440><c> restoration.</c>

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.899
So<00:11:10.139><c> there</c><00:11:10.279><c> we</c><00:11:10.440><c> have</c><00:11:10.639><c> rounding</c><00:11:10.899><c> out</c><00:11:11.159><c> the</c><00:11:11.320><c> rebellion</c><00:11:11.639><c> to</c><00:11:11.879><c> restoration.</c>

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:16.860
And<00:11:13.539><c> then</c><00:11:13.639><c> there's</c><00:11:14.779><c> just</c><00:11:14.980><c> Shiva's</c><00:11:15.460><c> vain</c><00:11:15.720><c> revolt</c><00:11:16.100><c> at</c><00:11:16.320><c> the</c><00:11:16.440><c> very</c><00:11:16.679><c> end.</c>

00:11:16.860 --> 00:11:18.379
So<00:11:17.019><c> this</c><00:11:17.139><c> is</c><00:11:17.320><c> pretty</c><00:11:17.519><c> much</c><00:11:17.679><c> where</c><00:11:17.860><c> we're</c><00:11:18.080><c> going.</c>

00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:21.159
Where<00:11:19.000><c> we've</c><00:11:19.360><c> been</c><00:11:19.519><c> all</c><00:11:19.940><c> in</c><00:11:20.299><c> one</c><00:11:20.539><c> little</c><00:11:20.820><c> slide.</c>

00:11:21.419 --> 00:11:24.220
A<00:11:21.639><c> seven</c><00:11:21.840><c> point</c><00:11:22.080><c> summary</c><00:11:22.480><c> of</c><00:11:22.659><c> rebellion</c><00:11:23.019><c> to</c><00:11:23.240><c> restoration.</c>

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.460
So<00:11:25.159><c> that</c><00:11:25.360><c> brings</c><00:11:25.580><c> us</c><00:11:25.779><c> to</c><00:11:26.139><c> David's</c><00:11:26.559><c> age</c><00:11:26.860><c> perhaps.</c>

00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:29.600
In<00:11:28.100><c> 2nd</c><00:11:28.519><c> Samuel</c><00:11:28.740><c> chapter</c><00:11:29.120><c> 11.</c>

00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:31.360
Let's<00:11:30.100><c> say</c><00:11:30.279><c> 45.</c>

00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:36.720
What<00:11:32.379><c> about</c><00:11:32.580><c> when</c><00:11:32.700><c> we</c><00:11:32.919><c> come</c><00:11:33.019><c> to</c><00:11:33.200><c> 2nd</c><00:11:33.600><c> Samuel</c><00:11:33.879><c> chapter</c><00:11:35.379><c> 13.</c>

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.879
And<00:11:37.320><c> this</c><00:11:37.480><c> whole</c><00:11:37.720><c> incident</c><00:11:38.120><c> with</c><00:11:38.539><c> Amnon</c><00:11:39.039><c> and</c><00:11:39.539><c> Absalom.</c>

00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:41.360
Well<00:11:40.039><c> let's</c><00:11:40.240><c> turn</c><00:11:40.480><c> there.</c>

00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:47.679
And<00:11:42.399><c> we</c><00:11:42.539><c> have</c><00:11:42.759><c> to</c><00:11:42.940><c> do</c><00:11:43.120><c> some</c><00:11:46.100><c> thinking</c><00:11:46.519><c> here.</c>

00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:50.899
To<00:11:48.019><c> try</c><00:11:48.259><c> and</c><00:11:48.399><c> get</c><00:11:48.519><c> an</c><00:11:48.779><c> approximate</c><00:11:49.320><c> chronology</c><00:11:50.080><c> of</c><00:11:50.500><c> how</c><00:11:50.740><c> old</c>

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:52.720
David<00:11:51.179><c> would</c><00:11:51.419><c> be</c><00:11:51.600><c> at</c><00:11:51.759><c> this</c><00:11:51.899><c> particular</c><00:11:52.379><c> point.</c>

00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.179
And<00:11:53.120><c> I've</c><00:11:53.240><c> already</c><00:11:53.419><c> gone</c><00:11:53.620><c> past</c><00:11:53.879><c> my</c><00:11:54.139><c> five</c><00:11:54.340><c> minutes.</c>

00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.840
I<00:11:55.419><c> can't</c><00:11:55.740><c> apologize</c><00:11:56.220><c> because</c><00:11:56.539><c> we</c><00:11:56.700><c> did</c><00:11:56.879><c> have</c><00:11:57.059><c> that</c><00:11:57.399><c> brief</c><00:11:57.899><c> look</c>

00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.399
at<00:11:59.179><c> the</c><00:12:00.620><c> overall</c><00:12:00.980><c> outline.</c>

00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:03.480
So<00:12:01.720><c> I'm</c><00:12:01.779><c> not</c><00:12:01.919><c> going</c><00:12:02.080><c> to</c><00:12:02.100><c> apologize</c><00:12:02.500><c> for</c><00:12:02.679><c> that</c><00:12:02.820><c> unless</c><00:12:02.980><c> I</c><00:12:03.100><c> go</c><00:12:03.220><c> over</c><00:12:03.379><c> in</c>

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:04.080

00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:06.360
So<00:12:04.700><c> here's</c><00:12:04.879><c> the</c><00:12:05.139><c> approximate</c><00:12:05.580><c> chronology.</c>

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.039
David's<00:12:07.720><c> transgression</c><00:12:08.200><c> and</c><00:12:08.580><c> repentance.</c>

00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.360
So<00:12:09.419><c> let's</c><00:12:09.659><c> say</c><00:12:09.860><c> he's</c><00:12:10.100><c> approximately</c><00:12:10.639><c> 45</c><00:12:11.120><c> years</c><00:12:11.440><c> old.</c>

00:12:13.220 --> 00:12:16.740
We<00:12:13.399><c> also</c><00:12:13.679><c> have</c><00:12:13.980><c> Amnon</c><00:12:14.840><c> forcing</c><00:12:15.559><c> his</c><00:12:15.899><c> sister</c><00:12:16.240><c> Tamar.</c>

00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:17.779
Now<00:12:17.200><c> think</c><00:12:17.399><c> about</c><00:12:17.600><c> it.</c>

00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.639
How<00:12:18.100><c> old</c><00:12:18.840><c> do</c><00:12:19.179><c> you</c><00:12:19.320><c> think</c><00:12:19.519><c> Amnon</c><00:12:19.960><c> would</c><00:12:20.159><c> have</c><00:12:20.240><c> been</c><00:12:20.360><c> at</c><00:12:20.500><c> this</c>

particular<00:12:21.059><c> time?</c>

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:27.860
Certainly<00:12:24.480><c> he</c><00:12:24.740><c> would</c><00:12:25.279><c> at</c><00:12:25.539><c> least</c><00:12:26.159><c> have</c><00:12:26.500><c> had</c><00:12:26.620><c> to</c><00:12:26.720><c> have</c><00:12:26.820><c> been</c><00:12:26.960><c> a</c><00:12:27.000><c> teenager.</c>

00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:30.940
So<00:12:28.720><c> let's</c><00:12:28.919><c> say</c><00:12:29.080><c> approximately</c><00:12:29.720><c> 20</c><00:12:30.080><c> years</c><00:12:30.419><c> old.</c>

00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.000
Just<00:12:31.320><c> to</c><00:12:31.500><c> pick</c><00:12:31.600><c> a</c><00:12:31.740><c> number.</c>

00:12:32.419 --> 00:12:34.480
Amnon<00:12:33.000><c> was</c><00:12:33.220><c> the</c><00:12:33.500><c> oldest</c><00:12:33.960><c> son.</c>

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:38.779
And<00:12:34.980><c> he</c><00:12:35.059><c> was</c><00:12:35.240><c> the</c><00:12:35.519><c> first</c><00:12:36.019><c> son</c><00:12:36.419><c> born</c><00:12:36.840><c> to</c><00:12:37.179><c> David</c><00:12:37.519><c> in</c><00:12:38.360><c> Hebron.</c>

00:12:38.779 --> 00:12:40.220

00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:41.860
Let's<00:12:40.919><c> say</c><00:12:41.039><c> you</c><00:12:41.080><c> have</c><00:12:41.240><c> a</c><00:12:41.379><c> son</c><00:12:41.460><c> right</c><00:12:41.679><c> away.</c>

00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.360

00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.759
It<00:14:38.919><c> really</c><00:14:39.100><c> doesn't</c><00:14:39.340><c> seem</c><00:14:39.580><c> like</c><00:14:39.759><c> it</c><00:14:39.919><c> should</c><00:14:40.080><c> be</c><00:14:40.259><c> 40</c><00:14:40.500><c> years.</c>

00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:43.980

00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:46.500
Some<00:14:44.460><c> people</c><00:14:44.779><c> speculate</c><00:14:45.220><c> that</c><00:14:45.379><c> there</c><00:14:45.559><c> could</c><00:14:45.740><c> be</c><00:14:46.019><c> actually</c><00:14:46.320><c> a</c>

00:14:51.460 --> 00:14:54.759
But<00:14:52.360><c> I</c><00:14:52.659><c> wanted</c><00:14:52.879><c> to</c><00:14:53.139><c> establish</c><00:14:53.480><c> that</c><00:14:53.779><c> because</c><00:14:54.100><c> now</c><00:14:54.360><c> we</c><00:14:54.460><c> have</c><00:14:54.620><c> a</c>

00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.940

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:14.840
I<00:15:09.799><c> hesitate</c><00:15:10.120><c> to</c><00:15:10.299><c> say</c><00:15:10.419><c> he</c><00:15:10.539><c> was</c><00:15:10.720><c> an</c><00:15:10.879><c> old</c><00:15:11.100><c> man</c><00:15:11.580><c> for</c><00:15:12.559><c> fear</c><00:15:12.779><c> of</c><00:15:12.940><c> getting</c><00:15:13.120><c> something</c><00:15:13.399><c> thrown</c><00:15:13.679><c> at</c><00:15:13.860><c> him.</c>

00:15:15.419 --> 00:15:17.720
But<00:15:15.940><c> when</c><00:15:16.120><c> you</c><00:15:16.200><c> think</c><00:15:16.360><c> about</c><00:15:16.600><c> all</c><00:15:16.820><c> of</c><00:15:16.940><c> the</c><00:15:17.059><c> things</c><00:15:17.220><c> that</c><00:15:17.480><c> David</c>

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:28.159
61<00:15:27.679><c> years</c><00:15:28.000><c> old.</c>

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:30.720
We<00:15:28.340><c> read</c><00:15:28.539><c> the</c><00:15:28.779><c> Psalms</c><00:15:29.039><c> from</c><00:15:29.220><c> that</c><00:15:29.360><c> period</c><00:15:29.580><c> which</c><00:15:29.799><c> Brother</c><00:15:30.059><c> Ryan</c><00:15:30.320><c> brought</c><00:15:30.539><c> us</c>

00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:31.360
to<00:15:30.860><c> a</c><00:15:31.000><c> couple</c><00:15:31.200><c> of.</c>

00:15:31.539 --> 00:15:34.120
It<00:15:31.720><c> seems</c><00:15:32.039><c> David</c><00:15:32.360><c> could</c><00:15:32.539><c> have</c><00:15:32.679><c> been</c><00:15:32.899><c> sick</c><00:15:33.100><c> at</c><00:15:33.259><c> this</c><00:15:33.360><c> particular</c><00:15:33.860><c> time.</c>

00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.539
This<00:15:34.679><c> is</c><00:15:34.899><c> the</c><00:15:35.059><c> David</c><00:15:35.299><c> that</c><00:15:35.460><c> we're</c><00:15:35.620><c> talking</c><00:15:35.940><c> about</c><00:15:36.200><c> now.</c>

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:39.279
He's<00:15:37.019><c> not</c><00:15:37.220><c> the</c><00:15:37.399><c> David</c><00:15:37.559><c> of</c><00:15:37.740><c> 1</c><00:15:37.919><c> Samuel</c><00:15:38.220><c> 17.</c>

00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:44.120
He's<00:15:40.379><c> had</c><00:15:40.480><c> a</c><00:15:40.659><c> long</c><00:15:40.840><c> life</c><00:15:41.240><c> full</c><00:15:42.080><c> of</c><00:15:43.299><c> triumph.</c>

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:47.220
All<00:15:44.940><c> the</c><00:15:45.279><c> evil</c><00:15:45.440><c> that</c><00:15:45.700><c> befell</c><00:15:46.000><c> him</c><00:15:46.220><c> from</c><00:15:46.419><c> his</c><00:15:46.679><c> youth</c><00:15:46.899><c> and</c><00:15:47.059><c> up,</c>

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:48.299
Joab<00:15:47.600><c> said.</c>

00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:52.059
So<00:15:49.899><c> hopefully</c><00:15:50.120><c> that</c><00:15:50.259><c> gives</c><00:15:50.440><c> us</c><00:15:50.659><c> a</c><00:15:50.799><c> picture</c><00:15:51.000><c> of</c><00:15:51.179><c> this</c><00:15:51.399><c> king</c><00:15:51.539><c> now.</c>

00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.240
Perhaps<00:15:52.720><c> 9</c><00:15:53.039><c> years</c><00:15:53.360><c> from</c><00:15:53.559><c> the</c><00:15:53.659><c> time</c><00:15:53.820><c> that</c><00:15:53.980><c> he</c><00:15:54.039><c> would</c><00:15:54.259><c> die.</c>

00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.779
And<00:15:56.059><c> he's</c><00:15:56.320><c> fleeing</c><00:15:56.600><c> from</c><00:15:56.879><c> his</c><00:15:57.120><c> son</c><00:15:57.320><c> who's</c><00:15:57.679><c> after</c><00:15:57.899><c> him.</c>

00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:02.080
It's<00:16:01.220><c> heartbreaking.</c>

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:08.000
Well,<00:16:05.019><c> let's</c><00:16:05.200><c> come</c><00:16:05.399><c> to</c><00:16:05.539><c> 1</c><00:16:05.700><c> Samuel</c><00:16:05.980><c> 15</c><00:16:06.659><c> and</c><00:16:07.200><c> move</c><00:16:07.500><c> a</c><00:16:07.559><c> little</c><00:16:07.799><c> bit</c>

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.100

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:12.580
Because<00:16:10.320><c> our</c><00:16:10.620><c> subject</c><00:16:10.980><c> now,</c><00:16:11.340><c> now</c><00:16:11.519><c> that</c><00:16:11.659><c> we've</c><00:16:12.360><c> established</c>

00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:27.940
And<00:16:26.100><c> we're</c><00:16:26.200><c> going</c><00:16:26.299><c> to</c><00:16:26.440><c> talk</c><00:16:26.600><c> about</c><00:16:26.860><c> some</c><00:16:27.120><c> of</c><00:16:27.299><c> David's</c><00:16:27.720><c> friends</c>

00:16:30.659 --> 00:16:34.139
His<00:16:30.860><c> first</c><00:16:31.220><c> friend</c><00:16:31.440><c> you</c><00:16:31.580><c> will</c><00:16:31.799><c> not</c><00:16:32.059><c> find</c><00:16:32.259><c> in</c><00:16:32.519><c> 2</c><00:16:32.700><c> Samuel</c><00:16:32.960><c> 15.</c>

00:16:36.100 --> 00:16:38.019
You<00:16:36.600><c> won't</c><00:16:36.860><c> find</c><00:16:37.100><c> him,</c><00:16:37.259><c> but</c><00:16:37.399><c> he's</c><00:16:37.559><c> there.</c>

00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.860
And<00:16:38.379><c> he's</c><00:16:38.559><c> there</c><00:16:38.899><c> in</c><00:16:39.159><c> verse</c><00:16:39.679><c> 18</c><00:16:40.279><c> in</c><00:16:40.559><c> particular.</c>

00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.100
So<00:16:41.059><c> come</c><00:16:41.200><c> with</c><00:16:41.360><c> me</c><00:16:41.440><c> to</c><00:16:41.559><c> verse</c><00:16:41.720><c> 18</c><00:16:42.659><c> of</c><00:16:43.419><c> 2</c><00:16:43.679><c> Samuel</c><00:16:43.980><c> 15.</c>

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.799

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.299
And<00:19:47.819><c> we'll</c><00:19:47.960><c> come</c><00:19:48.160><c> down</c><00:19:48.319><c> to</c><00:19:48.420><c> verse</c><00:19:48.660><c> 27.</c>

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:57.119
It<00:19:49.500><c> says,</c><00:19:54.440><c> speaking</c><00:19:54.599><c> of</c><00:19:54.759><c> the</c><00:19:54.920><c> armies</c><00:19:55.119><c> that</c><00:19:55.400><c> came</c><00:19:55.640><c> to</c><00:19:55.900><c> David,</c>

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:05.960
And<00:20:03.160><c> Jehoiada</c><00:20:03.579><c> was</c><00:20:03.819><c> the</c><00:20:04.000><c> leader</c><00:20:04.220><c> of</c><00:20:04.579><c> the</c><00:20:05.200><c> Aaronites.</c>

00:20:06.299 --> 00:20:09.240
And<00:20:06.599><c> with</c><00:20:06.799><c> him</c><00:20:07.039><c> were</c><00:20:07.500><c> 3</c><00:20:08.319><c>,700.</c>

00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:12.119
So<00:20:09.500><c> this</c><00:20:09.720><c> man</c><00:20:10.000><c> Jehoiada</c><00:20:10.400><c> was</c><00:20:10.960><c> a</c><00:20:11.279><c> leader</c><00:20:11.440><c> of</c><00:20:11.619><c> the</c><00:20:11.779><c> Aaronites.</c>

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:14.400
Now<00:20:12.319><c> you</c><00:20:12.339><c> might</c><00:20:12.539><c> say,</c><00:20:13.180><c> okay,</c><00:20:13.500><c> how</c><00:20:13.579><c> many</c><00:20:13.799><c> Jehoiades</c><00:20:14.160><c> are</c><00:20:14.319><c> there</c>

00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:15.339
in<00:20:14.519><c> the</c><00:20:14.640><c> Bible?</c>

00:20:15.539 --> 00:20:18.079
I<00:20:15.740><c> confess,</c><00:20:17.160><c> lots.</c>

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.240
Lots<00:20:18.660><c> of</c><00:20:18.839><c> Jehoiades.</c>

00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.460
However,<00:20:20.460><c> we</c><00:20:20.599><c> just</c><00:20:20.799><c> turn</c><00:20:20.980><c> over</c><00:20:21.240><c> again</c><00:20:21.500><c> into</c><00:20:21.740><c> 1</c><00:20:21.940><c> Chronicles</c><00:20:22.359><c> 27.</c>

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.200
We<00:20:24.539><c> get</c><00:20:24.700><c> another</c><00:20:24.940><c> little</c><00:20:25.299><c> detail</c><00:20:25.720><c> here,</c>

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:31.099
which<00:20:26.640><c> I</c><00:20:26.799><c> think</c><00:20:27.200><c> shows</c><00:20:27.720><c> us</c><00:20:28.119><c> that</c><00:20:28.319><c> this</c><00:20:28.599><c> Jehoiada</c><00:20:29.000><c> in</c><00:20:29.220><c> 1</c><00:20:29.460><c> Chronicles</c><00:20:29.880><c> 12</c><00:20:30.420><c> is</c>

00:20:31.099 --> 00:20:32.880
Benaiah's<00:20:31.799><c> father.</c>

00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:38.039
So<00:20:33.859><c> 1</c><00:20:34.059><c> Chronicles</c><00:20:34.579><c> 12,</c><00:20:35.019><c> or</c><00:20:35.220><c> excuse</c><00:20:35.539><c> me,</c><00:20:36.480><c> 27.</c>

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.440
And<00:20:38.759><c> we'll</c><00:20:38.920><c> just</c><00:20:39.079><c> look</c><00:20:39.240><c> at</c><00:20:39.359><c> verse</c><00:20:39.619><c> 5.</c>

00:20:40.779 --> 00:20:43.400
We<00:20:40.859><c> actually</c><00:20:41.160><c> get</c><00:20:41.440><c> three</c><00:20:41.819><c> generations</c><00:20:42.500><c> of</c><00:20:42.980><c> the</c><00:20:43.180><c> Benaiah</c>

00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:44.880
family<00:20:43.839><c> here.</c>

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:46.259
Look<00:20:45.180><c> what</c><00:20:45.279><c> it</c><00:20:45.460><c> says</c><00:20:45.599><c> in</c><00:20:45.740><c> verse</c><00:20:45.940><c> 5.</c>

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:52.299
The<00:20:46.440><c> captain</c><00:20:47.099><c> of</c><00:20:47.440><c> the</c><00:20:47.700><c> host</c><00:20:48.059><c> for</c><00:20:48.519><c> the</c><00:20:48.759><c> third</c><00:20:49.000><c> month</c><00:20:49.420><c> was</c><00:20:49.940><c> Benaiah,</c><00:20:50.660><c> the</c><00:20:50.799><c> son</c><00:20:51.000><c> of</c><00:20:51.180><c> Jehoiada,</c><00:20:51.980><c> a</c>

00:20:52.299 --> 00:20:53.680
chief<00:20:52.619><c> priest.</c>

00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.859
And<00:20:54.720><c> in</c><00:20:54.859><c> his</c><00:20:55.119><c> course</c><00:20:55.359><c> were</c><00:20:55.599><c> 24</c><00:20:56.279><c>,000.</c>

00:20:57.099 --> 00:20:59.720
This<00:20:57.400><c> is</c><00:20:57.559><c> that</c><00:20:57.799><c> Benaiah</c><00:20:58.200><c> who</c><00:20:58.380><c> is</c><00:20:58.700><c> mighty</c><00:20:58.900><c> among</c><00:20:59.160><c> the</c><00:20:59.400><c> 30</c><00:20:59.559><c> and</c>

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:00.519
above<00:21:00.000><c> the</c><00:21:00.259><c> 30.</c>

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.440
And<00:21:00.940><c> in</c><00:21:01.119><c> his</c><00:21:01.440><c> course</c><00:21:01.720><c> was</c><00:21:02.099><c> Amisabad,</c><00:21:03.079><c> his</c><00:21:03.500><c> son.</c>

00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:07.640
So<00:21:05.599><c> I</c><00:21:05.720><c> think</c><00:21:05.839><c> we're</c><00:21:06.000><c> given</c><00:21:06.180><c> three</c><00:21:06.539><c> generations.</c>

00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.619
It<00:21:07.980><c> shows</c><00:21:08.180><c> that</c><00:21:08.400><c> it's</c><00:21:08.680><c> Jehoiada,</c><00:21:09.259><c> possibly</c><00:21:09.720><c> the</c><00:21:10.019><c> priest</c><00:21:10.299><c> here.</c>

00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.940
And<00:21:11.039><c> we</c><00:21:11.220><c> have</c><00:21:11.579><c> Jehoiada</c><00:21:12.099><c> of</c><00:21:12.359><c> the</c><00:21:12.559><c> family</c><00:21:12.819><c> of</c><00:21:13.059><c> Aaron</c><00:21:13.160><c> in</c><00:21:13.339><c> 1</c><00:21:13.519><c> Chronicles</c><00:21:14.000><c> 12.</c>

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:19.019
So<00:21:15.539><c> it</c><00:21:15.640><c> really</c><00:21:15.940><c> seems</c><00:21:16.240><c> as</c><00:21:16.380><c> if</c><00:21:16.480><c> we're</c><00:21:16.640><c> given</c><00:21:16.819><c> three</c><00:21:17.779><c> generations.</c>

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.180
Benaiah,<00:21:20.779><c> I</c><00:21:20.980><c> believe,</c><00:21:21.180><c> was</c><00:21:21.319><c> from</c><00:21:21.559><c> a</c><00:21:21.579><c> faithful</c><00:21:21.900><c> family.</c>

00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.200
And<00:21:24.740><c> you</c><00:21:24.819><c> know</c><00:21:24.839><c> what</c><00:21:24.859><c> his</c><00:21:25.059><c> name</c><00:21:25.279><c> means?</c>

00:21:27.579 --> 00:21:30.119
Built<00:21:28.059><c> of</c><00:21:28.539><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.339
Except<00:21:31.400><c> the</c><00:21:31.700><c> Lord</c><00:21:32.400><c> built</c><00:21:32.940><c> the</c><00:21:33.140><c> house.</c>

00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.619
They<00:21:34.900><c> labor</c><00:21:35.200><c> in</c><00:21:35.440><c> vain</c><00:21:35.819><c> to</c><00:21:36.019><c> build</c><00:21:36.180><c> it.</c>

00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:38.720
Psalm<00:21:38.039><c> 127.</c>

00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:42.559
And<00:21:39.039><c> then</c><00:21:39.140><c> in</c><00:21:39.259><c> that</c><00:21:39.460><c> psalm</c><00:21:39.799><c> it</c><00:21:39.900><c> speaks</c><00:21:40.480><c> of</c><00:21:41.319><c> having</c><00:21:41.619><c> children.</c>

00:21:44.380 --> 00:21:46.900
I<00:21:44.460><c> think</c><00:21:44.680><c> that's</c><00:21:44.980><c> what</c><00:21:45.160><c> we're</c><00:21:45.339><c> being</c><00:21:45.559><c> told</c><00:21:45.839><c> here</c><00:21:46.039><c> as</c><00:21:46.180><c> we</c><00:21:46.359><c> compare</c><00:21:46.660><c> some</c>

00:21:46.900 --> 00:21:48.140
of<00:21:47.019><c> these</c><00:21:47.240><c> names.</c>

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:52.359
Benaiah<00:21:48.619><c> seems</c><00:21:50.039><c> to</c><00:21:50.240><c> have</c><00:21:50.359><c> come</c><00:21:50.500><c> from</c><00:21:50.680><c> a</c><00:21:50.880><c> faithful</c><00:21:51.180><c> family.</c>

00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:57.140
And<00:21:54.380><c> we</c><00:21:54.579><c> find</c><00:21:54.779><c> Benaiah</c><00:21:55.259><c> here</c><00:21:55.599><c> when</c><00:21:55.980><c> so</c><00:21:56.420><c> many</c><00:21:56.599><c> other</c><00:21:56.859><c> people</c>

00:21:57.140 --> 00:21:58.259
have<00:21:57.460><c> left</c><00:21:57.720><c> David.</c>

00:21:58.259 --> 00:22:01.640
And<00:21:58.839><c> he's</c><00:21:59.220><c> crossing</c><00:21:59.680><c> the</c><00:21:59.960><c> Kidron</c><00:22:00.339><c> River.</c>

00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:05.160
Crossing<00:22:02.140><c> over</c><00:22:03.259><c> that</c><00:22:03.519><c> brook.</c>

00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.539
Fleeing<00:22:06.880><c> from</c><00:22:07.099><c> Absalom</c><00:22:07.859><c> and</c><00:22:08.539><c> for</c><00:22:08.740><c> fear</c><00:22:08.900><c> of</c><00:22:09.059><c> the</c><00:22:09.180><c> army</c><00:22:09.400><c> that</c>

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:10.400
was<00:22:09.779><c> accompanying</c><00:22:10.099><c> him.</c>

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:14.000

In<00:25:02.019><c> particular,</c><00:25:02.599><c> one</c><00:25:02.799><c> of</c><00:25:02.960><c> the</c><00:25:04.079><c> details</c><00:25:04.539><c> that</c><00:25:04.759><c> we're</c><00:25:04.940><c> given</c><00:25:05.259><c> about</c><00:25:06.680><c> this</c><00:25:06.980><c> descent</c><00:25:07.400><c> into</c><00:25:07.700><c> a</c>

00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:10.200
Think<00:25:09.119><c> about</c><00:25:09.359><c> it.</c>

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:13.380
This<00:25:10.880><c> is</c><00:25:11.160><c> a</c><00:25:11.299><c> list</c><00:25:11.539><c> of</c><00:25:11.839><c> David's</c><00:25:12.339><c> mighty</c><00:25:12.519><c> men.</c>

00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:16.619
Anything<00:25:13.880><c> could</c><00:25:14.160><c> have</c><00:25:14.299><c> been</c><00:25:14.680><c> recorded</c><00:25:15.099><c> about</c><00:25:15.359><c> these</c><00:25:15.619><c> men.</c>

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:23.920
Why<00:25:18.819><c> is</c><00:25:19.019><c> it</c><00:25:19.240><c> specifically</c><00:25:19.720><c> that</c><00:25:20.140><c> we're</c><00:25:20.359><c> told</c><00:25:20.660><c> that</c><00:25:20.900><c> Benaiah</c><00:25:21.259><c> made</c><00:25:21.779><c> this</c><00:25:22.039><c> decision</c><00:25:22.359><c> to</c><00:25:22.500><c> go</c><00:25:22.799><c> down</c><00:25:23.299><c> into</c><00:25:23.660><c> a</c>

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.039
Clearly,<00:25:26.920><c> if</c><00:25:27.099><c> you're</c><00:25:27.200><c> on</c><00:25:27.339><c> the</c><00:25:27.519><c> battlefield,</c><00:25:28.740><c> and</c><00:25:28.819><c> one</c><00:25:28.940><c> of</c><00:25:28.980><c> your</c><00:25:29.140><c> guys</c><00:25:29.299><c> goes</c><00:25:29.559><c> off,</c><00:25:29.900><c> if</c>

00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:31.279
that's<00:25:30.299><c> exactly</c><00:25:30.640><c> how</c><00:25:30.799><c> it</c><00:25:30.980><c> happened,</c>

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:34.539
and<00:25:31.599><c> goes</c><00:25:31.740><c> into</c><00:25:31.960><c> a</c><00:25:32.119><c> pit</c><00:25:32.220><c> to</c><00:25:32.400><c> slay</c><00:25:32.619><c> a</c><00:25:32.740><c> lion,</c><00:25:32.900><c> he's</c><00:25:33.099><c> not</c><00:25:33.200><c> all</c><00:25:33.319><c> that</c><00:25:33.480><c> helpful.</c>

00:25:34.859 --> 00:25:37.000
Benaiah,<00:25:35.240><c> I</c><00:25:35.319><c> need</c><00:25:35.500><c> your</c><00:25:35.619><c> help</c><00:25:35.819><c> over</c><00:25:36.059><c> here.</c>

00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:40.559
But<00:25:38.500><c> it's</c><00:25:38.920><c> not</c><00:25:39.119><c> about</c><00:25:39.480><c> Benaiah.</c>

00:25:41.420 --> 00:25:47.440
2<00:25:41.680><c> Samuel</c><00:25:42.039><c> 23</c><00:25:42.579><c> verse</c><00:25:42.819><c> 20</c><00:25:43.079><c> is</c><00:25:43.359><c> not</c><00:25:43.559><c> about</c><00:25:43.819><c> Benaiah</c><00:25:44.339><c> any</c><00:25:46.460><c> more</c><00:25:46.660><c> than</c><00:25:46.839><c> Psalm</c><00:25:47.119><c> 40</c>

00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:48.940
is<00:25:47.640><c> really</c><00:25:47.920><c> about</c><00:25:48.099><c> David.</c>

00:25:49.339 --> 00:25:51.440
It's<00:25:49.640><c> about</c><00:25:49.859><c> something</c><00:25:50.200><c> much</c><00:25:50.500><c> bigger.</c>

00:25:51.859 --> 00:25:54.400
It's<00:25:52.339><c> about</c><00:25:52.559><c> something</c><00:25:52.799><c> much</c><00:25:53.099><c> more</c><00:25:53.380><c> important,</c><00:25:53.740><c> and</c><00:25:53.880><c> it's</c><00:25:54.019><c> about</c><00:25:54.200><c> a</c>

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:58.500

00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:02.259
Because<00:25:59.599><c> the</c><00:25:59.839><c> spirit</c><00:26:00.140><c> of</c><00:26:00.319><c> Christ</c><00:26:00.619><c> rested</c><00:26:00.960><c> on</c><00:26:01.160><c> those</c><00:26:01.339><c> men.</c>

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.980
So<00:26:03.940><c> what's</c><00:26:04.180><c> it</c><00:26:04.319><c> mean?</c>

00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:11.859
Benaiah's<00:26:08.660><c> victory</c><00:26:08.960><c> over</c><00:26:09.200><c> the</c><00:26:09.400><c> lion</c><00:26:09.519><c> in</c><00:26:09.680><c> the</c><00:26:09.819><c> pit</c><00:26:10.160><c> is</c><00:26:10.900><c> a</c><00:26:11.359><c> clear</c>

00:26:11.859 --> 00:26:14.440

00:26:15.339 --> 00:26:18.259
So<00:26:15.579><c> what</c><00:26:15.900><c> I've</c><00:26:16.039><c> done</c><00:26:16.240><c> for</c><00:26:16.480><c> you,</c><00:26:16.619><c> and</c><00:26:16.740><c> the</c><00:26:16.819><c> only</c><00:26:17.000><c> reason</c><00:26:17.200><c> I'm</c><00:26:17.579><c> saying</c><00:26:17.839><c> this</c><00:26:18.059><c> is</c>

00:26:18.259 --> 00:26:19.759
because<00:26:18.460><c> when</c><00:26:18.700><c> somebody</c><00:26:18.960><c> said</c><00:26:19.160><c> this</c><00:26:19.380><c> to</c><00:26:19.539><c> me,</c>

00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:21.259
I<00:26:20.019><c> found</c><00:26:20.200><c> it</c><00:26:20.460><c> incredibly</c><00:26:20.859><c> helpful.</c>

00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:23.440
There<00:26:21.779><c> was</c><00:26:21.880><c> a</c><00:26:21.980><c> brother</c><00:26:22.079><c> at</c><00:26:22.220><c> a</c><00:26:22.339><c> Bible</c><00:26:22.500><c> school</c><00:26:22.700><c> not</c><00:26:22.880><c> long</c><00:26:23.099><c> ago.</c>

00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:28.940
Just<00:26:23.880><c> before</c><00:26:24.099><c> he</c><00:26:24.279><c> gave</c><00:26:24.660><c> some</c><00:26:25.220><c> very</c><00:26:25.740><c> interesting</c><00:26:26.420><c> material,</c><00:26:26.859><c> he</c><00:26:27.000><c> said,</c><00:26:27.240><c> oh,</c><00:26:27.319><c> by</c><00:26:27.460><c> the</c><00:26:27.599><c> way,</c><00:26:27.700><c> this</c><00:26:27.839><c> is</c><00:26:28.000><c> a</c><00:26:28.160><c> box.</c>

00:26:29.779 --> 00:26:31.460
I<00:26:29.980><c> looked</c><00:26:30.099><c> around</c><00:26:30.359><c> thinking,</c><00:26:30.660><c> what</c><00:26:30.759><c> do</c><00:26:30.900><c> you</c><00:26:30.900><c> mean,</c><00:26:31.039><c> a</c><00:26:31.160><c> box?</c>

00:26:31.460 --> 00:26:32.599
What<00:26:31.579><c> does</c><00:26:31.740><c> that</c><00:26:31.880><c> mean?</c>

00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:35.240
And<00:26:33.019><c> I've</c><00:26:33.380><c> actually</c><00:26:33.599><c> put</c><00:26:33.759><c> this</c><00:26:33.940><c> in</c><00:26:34.079><c> a</c><00:26:34.220><c> box</c><00:26:34.400><c> in</c><00:26:34.579><c> my</c><00:26:34.779><c> Bible</c><00:26:34.980><c> to</c>

00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:38.579
I've<00:26:36.619><c> just</c><00:26:36.779><c> started</c><00:26:37.000><c> doing</c><00:26:37.200><c> that</c><00:26:37.480><c> a</c><00:26:37.640><c> year</c><00:26:37.799><c> ago.</c>

00:26:39.059 --> 00:26:40.839
I've<00:26:39.299><c> talked</c><00:26:39.420><c> to</c><00:26:39.579><c> other</c><00:26:39.980><c> brothers</c><00:26:40.140><c> and</c><00:26:40.319><c> sisters</c><00:26:40.539><c> about</c><00:26:40.740><c> it.</c>

00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.460
They're<00:26:40.980><c> like,</c><00:26:41.059><c> yeah,</c><00:26:41.180><c> we've</c><00:26:41.380><c> been</c><00:26:41.420><c> doing</c><00:26:41.619><c> boxes</c><00:26:41.960><c> for</c><00:26:42.200><c> years.</c>

00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:44.480
Never<00:26:43.000><c> heard</c><00:26:43.240><c> of</c><00:26:43.359><c> it.</c>

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:46.519
So<00:26:45.380><c> I</c><00:26:45.599><c> find</c><00:26:45.819><c> that</c><00:26:45.980><c> very</c><00:26:46.160><c> exciting.</c>

00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:47.920
I<00:26:46.720><c> just</c><00:26:46.880><c> wanted</c><00:26:46.980><c> to</c><00:26:47.220><c> preface</c><00:26:47.460><c> it</c><00:26:47.599><c> with</c><00:26:47.779><c> that.</c>

00:26:52.380 --> 00:26:53.380
for<00:26:52.619><c> sure.</c>

00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:54.960
So<00:26:53.619><c> I</c><00:26:53.720><c> just</c><00:26:53.900><c> want</c><00:26:54.019><c> to</c><00:26:54.140><c> share</c><00:26:54.259><c> that</c><00:26:54.440><c> with</c><00:26:54.640><c> you.</c>

00:26:55.339 --> 00:26:58.200
This<00:26:55.539><c> will</c><00:26:55.900><c> clearly</c><00:26:56.299><c> show</c><00:26:56.640><c> as</c><00:26:56.779><c> we</c><00:26:57.000><c> compare</c><00:26:57.279><c> scripture</c><00:26:57.660><c> with</c><00:26:57.880><c> scripture</c>

00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:09.059
Then<00:35:06.780><c> said</c><00:35:07.079><c> the</c><00:35:07.219><c> king</c><00:35:07.420><c> to</c><00:35:07.619><c> Etai</c><00:35:07.960><c> the</c><00:35:08.099><c> Gittite,</c>

00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:19.840
And<00:35:17.139><c> you</c><00:35:17.199><c> know,</c><00:35:17.840><c> this</c><00:35:18.099><c> is</c><00:35:18.219><c> one</c><00:35:18.340><c> of</c><00:35:18.420><c> those</c><00:35:18.579><c> cases</c><00:35:18.860><c> in</c><00:35:19.059><c> scripture</c><00:35:19.360><c> where</c>

00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:23.920
And<00:35:23.039><c> we</c><00:35:23.179><c> kind</c><00:35:23.380><c> of</c><00:35:23.559><c> have</c><00:35:23.659><c> it</c><00:35:23.800><c> here.</c>

00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:25.639
A<00:35:24.340><c> stranger</c><00:35:24.800><c> and</c><00:35:25.119><c> an</c><00:35:25.300><c> exile.</c>

00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:28.659
And<00:35:26.159><c> we</c><00:35:26.280><c> tend</c><00:35:26.400><c> to</c><00:35:26.579><c> say,</c><00:35:27.719><c> they're</c><00:35:27.900><c> essentially</c><00:35:28.219><c> saying</c><00:35:28.460><c> the</c>

00:35:28.659 --> 00:35:29.940
same<00:35:28.860><c> things.</c>

00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:34.260
I<00:35:31.960><c> don't</c><00:35:32.159><c> believe</c><00:35:32.320><c> that</c><00:35:32.480><c> that's</c><00:35:32.880><c> always</c><00:35:33.199><c> the</c><00:35:33.440><c> case.</c>

00:35:34.659 --> 00:35:35.880
I<00:35:34.780><c> think</c><00:35:34.980><c> sometimes</c><00:35:35.380><c> we</c><00:35:35.639><c> have,</c>

00:35:36.179 --> 00:35:38.599
they're<00:35:36.300><c> not</c><00:35:36.460><c> just</c><00:35:36.739><c> synonyms,</c><00:35:37.179><c> stranger</c><00:35:37.500><c> and</c><00:35:37.719><c> exile.</c>

00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:41.199
But<00:35:39.519><c> the</c><00:35:39.760><c> one</c><00:35:39.980><c> amplifies</c><00:35:40.659><c> the</c><00:35:40.880><c> other.</c>

00:35:41.539 --> 00:35:43.840
Of<00:35:41.760><c> course</c><00:35:42.019><c> he</c><00:35:42.119><c> was</c><00:35:42.340><c> a</c><00:35:42.519><c> stranger</c><00:35:42.780><c> because</c><00:35:43.099><c> he</c><00:35:43.199><c> was</c><00:35:43.420><c> a</c><00:35:43.539><c> Gittite,</c>

00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.260
and<00:35:44.019><c> Gittites</c><00:35:44.380><c> are</c><00:35:44.639><c> from</c><00:35:45.719><c> Gath.</c>

00:35:46.539 --> 00:35:47.760
He<00:35:46.579><c> was</c><00:35:46.760><c> a</c><00:35:46.920><c> Philistine.</c>

00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:51.960
That's<00:35:49.360><c> why</c><00:35:49.500><c> it</c><00:35:49.699><c> says</c><00:35:49.860><c> 600</c><00:35:50.219><c> men</c><00:35:50.480><c> that</c><00:35:51.000><c> came</c><00:35:51.139><c> with</c><00:35:51.300><c> him</c><00:35:51.460><c> from</c><00:35:51.639><c> Gath,</c>

verse<00:35:52.260><c> 18.</c>

00:35:56.539 --> 00:35:58.880
But<00:35:56.880><c> David</c><00:35:57.099><c> also</c><00:35:57.480><c> calls</c><00:35:57.659><c> him</c><00:35:57.820><c> an</c><00:35:58.059><c> exile.</c>

00:36:01.780 --> 00:36:03.239
You<00:36:01.920><c> wonder</c><00:36:02.000><c> why</c><00:36:02.139><c> that</c><00:36:02.280><c> would</c><00:36:02.480><c> be?</c>

00:36:03.659 --> 00:36:08.239
Well,<00:36:04.280><c> I'd</c><00:36:04.519><c> like</c><00:36:04.519><c> you</c><00:36:04.679><c> to</c><00:36:04.800><c> come</c><00:36:05.039><c> with</c><00:36:05.340><c> me</c><00:36:05.659><c> to</c><00:36:06.239><c> 1</c><00:36:06.500><c> Samuel</c><00:36:06.860><c> chapter</c><00:36:07.320><c> 27.</c>

00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:18.619
Just<00:36:12.119><c> a</c><00:36:12.920><c> brief</c><00:36:14.119><c> sketch</c><00:36:14.699><c> on</c><00:36:14.920><c> the</c><00:36:15.079><c> history</c><00:36:15.960><c> of</c><00:36:16.340><c> Etai</c><00:36:16.619><c> the</c><00:36:16.760><c> Gittite</c><00:36:17.099><c> here.</c>

00:36:26.300 --> 00:36:28.599
Now<00:36:26.639><c> again,</c><00:36:26.800><c> he's</c><00:36:27.079><c> not</c><00:36:27.260><c> mentioned</c><00:36:27.539><c> by</c><00:36:27.820><c> name</c><00:36:28.059><c> here.</c>

00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:33.119
But<00:36:29.659><c> this</c><00:36:30.000><c> is</c><00:36:30.280><c> where</c><00:36:30.559><c> we</c><00:36:31.019><c> are</c><00:36:31.460><c> specifically</c><00:36:32.079><c> told</c><00:36:32.699><c> that</c>

David<00:36:33.519><c> spent</c><00:36:33.880><c> time</c><00:36:34.639><c> in</c><00:36:35.480><c> Gath.</c>

00:36:35.820 --> 00:36:38.659

00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:38.400
Well,<00:37:33.380><c> there</c><00:37:33.519><c> came</c><00:37:33.699><c> a</c><00:37:33.900><c> moment</c><00:37:34.579><c> in</c><00:37:36.360><c> 2</c><00:37:36.619><c> Samuel</c><00:37:36.920><c> chapter</c><00:37:37.380><c> 5</c>

00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.300
Let's<00:37:44.980><c> have</c><00:37:45.079><c> a</c><00:37:45.179><c> look.</c>

and<00:38:16.719><c> that</c><00:38:16.860><c> he</c><00:38:17.099><c> had</c><00:38:17.760><c> exalted</c><00:38:18.260><c> his</c><00:38:18.639><c> kingdom</c><00:38:19.039><c> for</c><00:38:19.340><c> his</c><00:38:19.619><c> people</c>

00:38:19.940 --> 00:38:21.480
Israel's<00:38:20.679><c> sake.</c>

00:38:22.019 --> 00:38:25.800
And<00:38:22.159><c> David</c><00:38:22.300><c> took</c><00:38:22.500><c> him</c><00:38:22.699><c> more</c><00:38:22.940><c> concubines</c><00:38:23.480><c> and</c><00:38:23.760><c> wives</c><00:38:24.139><c> out</c><00:38:24.719><c> of</c><00:38:24.940><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:28.159
So<00:38:26.559><c> David</c><00:38:26.940><c> is</c><00:38:27.280><c> established</c><00:38:27.639><c> in</c><00:38:27.780><c> his</c><00:38:27.940><c> kingdom.</c>

00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:29.880
And<00:38:28.340><c> look</c><00:38:28.440><c> at</c><00:38:28.559><c> verse</c><00:38:28.800><c> 17</c><00:38:29.360><c> now.</c>

00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.699
Because<00:38:30.239><c> it</c><00:38:30.460><c> says</c><00:38:30.579><c> when</c><00:38:30.820><c> the</c><00:38:31.239><c> Philistines</c><00:38:32.019><c> heard</c>

00:38:32.699 --> 00:38:35.480
that<00:38:33.219><c> they</c><00:38:33.480><c> had</c><00:38:33.719><c> anointed</c><00:38:33.980><c> David</c><00:38:34.519><c> king</c><00:38:34.800><c> over</c><00:38:35.079><c> Israel,</c>

00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:37.900
all<00:38:36.019><c> the</c><00:38:36.280><c> Philistines</c><00:38:36.699><c> came</c><00:38:36.940><c> up</c><00:38:37.099><c> to</c><00:38:37.300><c> seek</c><00:38:37.480><c> David.</c>

00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:40.199
And<00:38:38.320><c> David</c><00:38:38.599><c> heard</c><00:38:38.820><c> of</c><00:38:38.940><c> it</c><00:38:39.079><c> and</c><00:38:39.139><c> went</c><00:38:39.380><c> down</c><00:38:39.679><c> to</c><00:38:39.800><c> the</c><00:38:40.000><c> hold.</c>

00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:42.760
The<00:38:40.719><c> Philistines</c><00:38:41.139><c> also</c><00:38:41.559><c> came</c><00:38:41.760><c> and</c><00:38:42.039><c> spread</c><00:38:42.300><c> themselves</c>

00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:43.780

00:38:43.780 --> 00:38:45.599
You<00:38:43.880><c> know</c><00:38:43.980><c> what's</c><00:38:44.119><c> happening</c><00:38:44.539><c> here?</c>

00:38:46.900 --> 00:38:50.039
David<00:38:47.119><c> was</c><00:38:47.480><c> working</c><00:38:48.099><c> for</c><00:38:48.699><c> the</c><00:38:48.880><c> king</c><00:38:49.039><c> of</c><00:38:49.300><c> Gath.</c>

00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:52.880
When<00:38:50.619><c> he</c><00:38:50.880><c> fled</c><00:38:51.079><c> from</c><00:38:51.380><c> Saul,</c><00:38:51.760><c> he</c><00:38:51.880><c> was</c><00:38:52.099><c> working</c><00:38:52.320><c> for</c><00:38:52.619><c> the</c><00:38:52.719><c> king</c>

of<00:38:52.960><c> Gath.</c>

00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:55.539
And<00:38:53.760><c> what</c><00:38:53.880><c> David</c><00:38:54.159><c> would</c><00:38:54.380><c> do</c><00:38:54.599><c> was</c><00:38:54.760><c> he'd</c><00:38:54.880><c> take</c><00:38:55.079><c> his</c><00:38:55.340><c> men</c>

00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:57.000
that<00:38:55.719><c> were</c><00:38:55.920><c> Gittites,</c><00:38:56.420><c> many</c><00:38:56.619><c> of</c><00:38:56.820><c> them,</c>

00:38:57.260 --> 00:38:59.639
and<00:38:57.400><c> they'd</c><00:38:57.699><c> go</c><00:38:58.000><c> and</c><00:38:58.380><c> destroy</c><00:38:58.780><c> some</c><00:38:59.019><c> of</c><00:38:59.119><c> the</c><00:38:59.219><c> other</c><00:38:59.400><c> people</c>

00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:01.599
that<00:38:59.780><c> were</c><00:38:59.980><c> antagonistic</c><00:39:00.539><c> to</c><00:39:00.739><c> Israel.</c>

00:39:01.739 --> 00:39:03.619
And<00:39:01.880><c> he'd</c><00:39:02.179><c> make</c><00:39:02.280><c> sure</c><00:39:02.480><c> that</c><00:39:02.780><c> nobody</c><00:39:03.079><c> was</c><00:39:03.400><c> left</c>

00:39:03.619 --> 00:39:05.780
so<00:39:03.800><c> that</c><00:39:03.940><c> no</c><00:39:04.159><c> message</c><00:39:04.360><c> could</c><00:39:04.559><c> come</c><00:39:04.820><c> back.</c>

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:06.639
And<00:39:05.980><c> when</c><00:39:06.119><c> Akish</c><00:39:06.300><c> would</c><00:39:06.500><c> say,</c>

00:39:06.659 --> 00:39:07.639
Hey,<00:39:06.840><c> David,</c><00:39:07.139><c> how's</c><00:39:07.340><c> it</c><00:39:07.460><c> going?</c>

00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.079
Hey,<00:39:08.579><c> how's</c><00:39:09.019><c> the</c><00:39:09.199><c> battle</c><00:39:09.360><c> going?</c>

00:39:10.340 --> 00:39:12.980
We've<00:39:10.739><c> been</c><00:39:10.840><c> here</c><00:39:11.099><c> and</c><00:39:11.260><c> there</c><00:39:11.639><c> and</c><00:39:12.179><c> all</c><00:39:12.440><c> over</c><00:39:12.639><c> the</c><00:39:12.800><c> place.</c>

00:39:12.980 --> 00:39:15.159
And<00:39:13.260><c> he</c><00:39:13.360><c> wouldn't</c><00:39:13.579><c> give</c><00:39:13.739><c> them</c><00:39:13.900><c> a</c><00:39:14.079><c> straight</c><00:39:14.280><c> answer.</c>

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:19.059
And<00:39:16.659><c> then</c><00:39:16.780><c> when</c><00:39:16.960><c> David</c><00:39:17.199><c> got</c><00:39:17.500><c> up</c><00:39:17.739><c> and</c><00:39:18.099><c> left</c>

00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:25.800
And<00:39:23.539><c> the</c><00:39:23.679><c> Gittites</c><00:39:24.019><c> went</c><00:39:24.199><c> with</c><00:39:24.440><c> him.</c>

00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:29.619
Do<00:39:27.360><c> you</c><00:39:27.360><c> think</c><00:39:27.480><c> they'd</c><00:39:27.800><c> be</c><00:39:27.980><c> welcomed</c><00:39:28.139><c> back</c><00:39:28.679><c> home?</c>

00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:33.039
Do<00:39:31.079><c> you</c><00:39:31.139><c> think</c><00:39:31.300><c> Etai,</c><00:39:31.760><c> if</c><00:39:31.900><c> he</c><00:39:32.039><c> went</c><00:39:32.159><c> back</c><00:39:32.480><c> home</c><00:39:32.639><c> to</c><00:39:32.840><c> Gath,</c>

00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:35.340
they<00:39:33.199><c> would</c><00:39:33.400><c> receive</c><00:39:33.599><c> him</c><00:39:33.739><c> with</c><00:39:33.920><c> open</c><00:39:34.139><c> arms?</c>

00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:37.639
Not<00:39:36.800><c> likely.</c>

00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:40.420
He<00:39:38.280><c> joined</c><00:39:38.659><c> up</c><00:39:38.880><c> with</c><00:39:39.079><c> David.</c>

00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:45.679

But<00:41:00.280><c> you</c><00:41:00.380><c> know</c><00:41:00.519><c> what?</c>

00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:04.760
When<00:41:02.280><c> David</c><00:41:02.579><c> went</c><00:41:02.760><c> through</c><00:41:03.039><c> all</c><00:41:03.219><c> of</c><00:41:03.340><c> these</c><00:41:03.559><c> lands,</c>

00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:11.780
He<00:41:10.460><c> was</c><00:41:10.780><c> preaching.</c>

00:41:15.099 --> 00:41:17.300
And<00:41:15.260><c> I</c><00:41:15.300><c> think</c><00:41:15.519><c> that</c><00:41:15.699><c> Etai</c><00:41:15.900><c> was</c><00:41:16.159><c> listening</c><00:41:16.500><c> very</c><00:41:16.940><c> closely</c><00:41:17.199><c> to</c>

00:41:18.619 --> 00:41:19.980
Think<00:41:18.780><c> about</c><00:41:19.000><c> this.</c>

00:41:20.820 --> 00:41:24.500
David<00:41:21.139><c> gathers</c><00:41:21.420><c> a</c><00:41:21.760><c> great</c><00:41:21.980><c> company</c><00:41:22.579><c> of</c><00:41:23.159><c> people</c><00:41:23.460><c> to</c><00:41:23.739><c> him.</c>

00:41:25.139 --> 00:41:26.599
Many<00:41:25.440><c> of</c><00:41:25.619><c> them</c><00:41:25.760><c> are</c><00:41:26.039><c> Philistines.</c>

00:41:27.099 --> 00:41:30.400
Do<00:41:27.300><c> you</c><00:41:27.320><c> think</c><00:41:27.519><c> maybe</c><00:41:27.880><c> once</c><00:41:28.239><c> when</c><00:41:28.420><c> they</c><00:41:28.579><c> were</c><00:41:28.739><c> gathered</c><00:41:28.940><c> together</c><00:41:29.360><c> around</c><00:41:29.599><c> the</c><00:41:29.840><c> campfire</c>

00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:36.019
hey,<00:41:34.440><c> guess</c><00:41:34.500><c> what?</c>

00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.320
Did<00:41:36.260><c> you</c><00:41:36.280><c> know</c><00:41:36.380><c> my</c><00:41:36.579><c> great</c><00:41:36.840><c> grandmother</c><00:41:37.179><c> was</c><00:41:37.400><c> a</c><00:41:37.539><c> mole</c><00:41:37.679><c> like?</c>

00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:41.300
Do<00:41:39.440><c> you</c><00:41:39.960><c> think</c><00:41:40.039><c> that</c><00:41:40.239><c> conversation</c><00:41:40.639><c> would</c><00:41:40.780><c> ever</c><00:41:40.960><c> come</c><00:41:41.139><c> up</c>

00:41:44.699 --> 00:41:49.300
I<00:41:44.699><c> think</c><00:41:44.900><c> he</c><00:41:44.980><c> would</c><00:41:45.139><c> have</c><00:41:45.280><c> told</c><00:41:45.420><c> them</c><00:41:46.739><c> how</c><00:41:47.400><c> his</c><00:41:47.619><c> great</c><00:41:48.000><c> grandmother</c>

00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:00.860
And<00:41:58.480><c> she</c><00:41:58.780><c> latched</c><00:41:59.039><c> on</c><00:41:59.260><c> to</c><00:41:59.420><c> the</c><00:41:59.559><c> covenants</c><00:41:59.840><c> of</c><00:42:00.059><c> promise.</c>

00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:04.079
And<00:42:01.460><c> she</c><00:42:01.659><c> learned</c><00:42:01.860><c> about</c><00:42:02.079><c> the</c><00:42:02.320><c> mercy</c><00:42:02.559><c> and</c><00:42:02.820><c> truth</c><00:42:02.980><c> to</c><00:42:03.219><c> Abraham.</c>

00:42:04.900 --> 00:42:06.400
She's<00:42:05.179><c> my</c><00:42:05.320><c> great</c><00:42:05.539><c> grandmother.</c>

00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.400

Do<00:42:10.659><c> you</c><00:42:10.659><c> think</c><00:42:10.800><c> those</c><00:42:11.119><c> Philistines</c><00:42:11.460><c> would</c><00:42:11.599><c> have</c><00:42:11.739><c> heard</c><00:42:11.900><c> that?</c>

00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:16.159
That<00:42:12.860><c> there</c><00:42:13.059><c> was</c><00:42:13.239><c> hope</c><00:42:13.480><c> if</c><00:42:13.639><c> you</c><00:42:13.800><c> became</c><00:42:14.159><c> grafted</c><00:42:14.699><c> into</c><00:42:14.900><c> the</c><00:42:15.059><c> hope</c><00:42:15.199><c> of</c><00:42:15.400><c> Israel?</c>

I<00:42:17.059><c> think</c><00:42:17.260><c> so.</c>

00:42:19.980 --> 00:42:24.199
So<00:42:20.219><c> is</c><00:42:20.360><c> it</c><00:42:20.519><c> any</c><00:42:20.719><c> surprise</c><00:42:21.420><c> that</c><00:42:22.139><c> when</c><00:42:22.400><c> Etai</c><00:42:22.960><c> answers</c><00:42:23.440><c> David</c><00:42:23.880><c> back,</c>
