David<00:16:06.379><c> was</c><00:16:06.580><c> in</c><00:16:06.759><c> the</c><00:16:07.059><c> wilderness</c><00:16:07.419><c> of</c><00:16:07.899><c> Ziph</c><00:16:08.059><c> in</c><00:16:08.320><c> a</c><00:16:08.519><c> wood.</c>

00:16:09.539 --> 00:16:13.600
Now<00:16:09.799><c> Ziph</c><00:16:10.100><c> is</c><00:16:10.399><c> five</c><00:16:10.820><c> miles,</c><00:16:11.360><c> four</c><00:16:11.659><c> miles</c><00:16:12.059><c> southeast</c><00:16:12.519><c> of</c><00:16:12.820><c> Hebron</c>

00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.559
So<00:16:17.500><c> it's</c><00:16:17.720><c> pretty</c><00:16:18.179><c> desperate</c><00:16:18.639><c> sort</c><00:16:18.879><c> of</c><00:16:18.980><c> country,</c><00:16:19.399><c> isn't</c><00:16:19.460><c> it?</c>

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.879
My<00:16:31.620><c> dear</c><00:16:31.799><c> brothers</c><00:16:32.000><c> and</c><00:16:32.220><c> sisters,</c><00:16:32.320><c> you</c><00:16:32.480><c> really</c><00:16:32.720><c> have</c><00:16:32.919><c> to</c><00:16:33.100><c> think</c><00:16:33.340><c> about</c><00:16:33.559><c> that,</c><00:16:34.000><c> don't</c><00:16:34.000><c> you?</c>

00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.720
We<00:16:35.860><c> spoke</c><00:16:36.059><c> about</c><00:16:36.240><c> a</c><00:16:36.500><c> friend</c><00:16:36.700><c> in</c><00:16:37.019><c> need,</c><00:16:37.379><c> here</c><00:16:37.480><c> he</c><00:16:37.559><c> is</c><00:16:37.720><c> again.</c>

00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:19.119
And<00:19:17.200><c> at</c><00:19:17.359><c> first,</c><00:19:17.680><c> you</c><00:19:17.680><c> see,</c><00:19:18.000><c> anybody</c><00:19:18.259><c> coming</c><00:19:18.519><c> to</c><00:19:18.720><c> their</c><00:19:18.920><c> camp</c>

00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:23.339
would<00:19:19.359><c> be</c><00:19:20.319><c> a</c><00:19:20.500><c> cause</c><00:19:20.839><c> of</c><00:19:21.259><c> extreme</c><00:19:22.099><c> concern,</c>

00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:25.799
because<00:19:23.920><c> the</c><00:19:24.160><c> first</c><00:19:24.380><c> thought</c><00:19:24.640><c> of</c><00:19:24.839><c> course</c><00:19:25.099><c> is</c><00:19:25.319><c> that</c><00:19:25.460><c> it</c><00:19:25.579><c> would</c>

00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:28.240
be<00:19:26.819><c> of</c><00:19:27.140><c> the</c><00:19:27.380><c> enemy.</c>

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:31.279
David<00:19:28.680><c> must</c><00:19:28.920><c> have</c><00:19:29.079><c> had</c><00:19:29.299><c> people</c><00:19:29.619><c> always</c><00:19:30.140><c> looking</c>

00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:35.140

00:19:36.059 --> 00:19:39.400
But<00:19:36.180><c> this</c><00:19:36.519><c> figure</c><00:19:36.700><c> came</c><00:19:37.079><c> on</c><00:19:37.420><c> inexorably,</c>

00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.099

as<00:19:43.700><c> he</c><00:19:43.920><c> looked</c><00:19:44.359><c> and</c><00:19:45.539><c> continued</c><00:19:46.079><c> to</c><00:19:46.299><c> look.</c>

00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:48.660
It<00:19:46.720><c> was</c><00:19:47.220><c> Jonathan</c><00:19:47.500><c> himself.</c>

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:53.099
The<00:19:49.700><c> grace</c><00:19:50.220><c> of</c><00:19:50.559><c> God,</c><00:19:50.900><c> as</c><00:19:51.039><c> his</c><00:19:51.259><c> name</c><00:19:51.480><c> meant,</c><00:19:52.039><c> had</c><00:19:52.299><c> come</c><00:19:52.640><c> to</c><00:19:52.859><c> him.</c>

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.500
Can<00:19:53.539><c> you</c><00:19:53.779><c> imagine</c><00:19:54.339><c> the</c><00:19:54.599><c> embrace</c><00:19:54.960><c> of</c><00:19:55.160><c> those</c><00:19:55.420><c> two</c><00:19:55.660><c> figures?</c>

00:19:57.019 --> 00:19:58.759
And<00:19:57.160><c> the</c><00:19:57.279><c> complete</c><00:19:57.779><c> collapse</c><00:19:58.339><c> of</c><00:19:58.599><c> them,</c>

00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:01.920
as<00:19:58.880><c> they</c><00:19:59.880><c> found</c><00:20:00.319><c> each</c><00:20:00.640><c> other</c><00:20:00.859><c> again,</c>

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.279
How<00:20:05.599><c> did</c><00:20:05.839><c> Jonathan</c><00:20:06.160><c> come?</c>

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.319
Oh,<00:20:07.940><c> what</c><00:20:08.140><c> a</c><00:20:08.299><c> wonderful</c><00:20:08.599><c> friend</c><00:20:08.859><c> that</c><00:20:09.099><c> is.</c>

00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:11.799
You<00:20:09.700><c> see,</c><00:20:09.940><c> a</c><00:20:10.059><c> friend</c><00:20:10.319><c> finds</c><00:20:10.799><c> a</c><00:20:10.980><c> way,</c><00:20:11.279><c> doesn't</c><00:20:11.440><c> he?</c>

00:20:12.299 --> 00:20:14.980
In<00:20:12.519><c> your</c><00:20:12.740><c> bleakest</c><00:20:13.200><c> moments,</c><00:20:13.660><c> a</c><00:20:13.799><c> friend</c><00:20:14.079><c> finds</c><00:20:14.480><c> his</c><00:20:14.759><c> way.</c>

00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:17.640
You've<00:20:15.160><c> got</c><00:20:15.259><c> friends</c><00:20:15.539><c> like</c><00:20:15.819><c> that,</c><00:20:15.960><c> I</c><00:20:16.140><c> have,</c><00:20:16.599><c> and</c><00:20:16.740><c> I</c><00:20:17.059><c> thank</c><00:20:17.279><c> God</c>

00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:18.720
for<00:20:17.920><c> them.</c>

00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.059
When<00:20:19.119><c> things</c><00:20:19.380><c> are</c><00:20:19.700><c> deepest</c><00:20:20.079><c> and</c><00:20:20.380><c> grayest,</c><00:20:20.720><c> they</c><00:20:20.960><c> seem</c><00:20:21.240><c> to</c><00:20:21.480><c> find</c><00:20:21.700><c> a</c><00:20:21.900><c> way,</c>

00:20:25.619 --> 00:20:26.200
did<00:20:25.880><c> here.</c>

00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.579
You<00:20:26.640><c> know</c><00:20:26.799><c> he</c><00:20:26.980><c> risked</c><00:20:27.279><c> his</c><00:20:27.440><c> life</c><00:20:27.720><c> for</c><00:20:27.900><c> this,</c><00:20:28.319><c> didn't</c><00:20:28.319><c> he?</c>

00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:32.440
Saul<00:20:29.759><c> was</c><00:20:30.000><c> out</c><00:20:30.220><c> day</c><00:20:30.599><c> after</c><00:20:30.880><c> day,</c><00:20:31.339><c> week</c><00:20:31.440><c> after</c><00:20:31.779><c> week,</c><00:20:32.079><c> month</c>

after<00:20:32.759><c> month,</c>

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.619

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:39.259
Though<00:20:35.140><c> he</c><00:20:35.180><c> had</c><00:20:35.440><c> thousands</c><00:20:35.920><c> of</c><00:20:36.119><c> men,</c><00:20:36.460><c> Jonathan</c><00:20:36.519><c> went</c><00:20:36.880><c> straight</c><00:20:37.400><c> to</c><00:20:38.019><c> him.</c>

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:46.220
And<00:20:41.799><c> I</c><00:20:41.920><c> think</c><00:20:42.019><c> that</c><00:20:42.220><c> tells</c><00:20:42.460><c> us,</c><00:20:43.160><c> too,</c><00:20:44.099><c> that</c><00:20:44.259><c> Jonathan</c><00:20:44.579><c> knew</c><00:20:44.759><c> where</c><00:20:44.920><c> he</c><00:20:45.059><c> was</c>

00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:48.500
on<00:20:46.859><c> more</c><00:20:47.099><c> than</c><00:20:47.220><c> one</c><00:20:47.380><c> occasion.</c>

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:55.019
How<00:20:50.839><c> did</c><00:20:51.019><c> David</c><00:20:51.380><c> know</c><00:20:52.240><c> that</c><00:20:53.019><c> Saul</c><00:20:53.500><c> had</c><00:20:53.700><c> gone</c><00:20:53.900><c> here</c><00:20:54.279><c> and</c><00:20:54.440><c> gone</c><00:20:54.660><c> there</c>

00:20:55.019 --> 00:20:57.039
when<00:20:55.019><c> Saul</c><00:20:55.079><c> was</c><00:20:55.259><c> seeking</c><00:20:55.619><c> his</c><00:20:55.960><c> life?</c>

00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:00.640
If<00:20:57.740><c> you</c><00:20:57.920><c> were</c><00:20:58.079><c> Jonathan,</c><00:20:59.339><c> would</c><00:20:59.539><c> you</c><00:20:59.700><c> keep</c><00:20:59.880><c> that</c><00:21:00.140><c> information</c>

to<00:21:00.839><c> yourself?</c>

00:21:02.900 --> 00:21:06.039
And<00:21:03.019><c> even</c><00:21:03.200><c> if</c><00:21:03.380><c> Jonathan</c><00:21:03.779><c> didn't</c><00:21:04.059><c> hear</c><00:21:04.380><c> from</c><00:21:04.579><c> the</c><00:21:04.779><c> ear</c><00:21:04.960><c> of</c><00:21:05.180><c> Saul,</c>

00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.640
I'm<00:21:06.599><c> sure</c><00:21:06.819><c> he</c><00:21:06.920><c> would</c><00:21:07.079><c> have</c><00:21:07.160><c> had</c><00:21:07.460><c> someone</c><00:21:07.900><c> who</c><00:21:10.079><c> would</c><00:21:10.279><c> have</c><00:21:10.440><c> said,</c>

00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.259

00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.259
How<00:21:18.960><c> could</c><00:21:19.140><c> he</c><00:21:19.400><c> go</c><00:21:19.640><c> just</c><00:21:19.900><c> so</c><00:21:20.500><c> cleanly</c><00:21:21.019><c> and</c><00:21:21.299><c> straightly,</c><00:21:21.880><c> as</c><00:21:22.079><c> a</c>

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.440

So<00:24:51.910><c> it</c><00:24:52.089><c> is</c><00:24:52.329><c> here.</c><00:24:53.009><c> He</c><00:24:53.490><c> strengthened</c><00:24:54.049><c> his</c><00:24:54.390><c> hand</c><00:24:54.690><c> in</c><00:24:54.970><c> God.</c>

00:24:57.289 --> 00:25:00.450
David<00:24:57.509><c> would</c><00:24:57.690><c> have</c><00:24:57.829><c> told</c><00:24:58.029><c> him</c><00:24:58.230><c> many</c><00:24:58.529><c> things,</c><00:24:59.430><c> poured</c><00:24:59.710><c> out</c><00:24:59.910><c> his</c><00:25:00.170><c> heart.</c>

00:25:00.690 --> 00:25:03.190
Couldn't<00:25:00.970><c> have</c><00:25:01.130><c> that</c><00:25:01.210><c> to</c><00:25:01.369><c> all</c><00:25:01.490><c> of</c><00:25:01.609><c> his</c><00:25:01.789><c> soldiers.</c><00:25:02.089><c> He</c><00:25:02.190><c> was</c><00:25:02.410><c> lifting</c><00:25:02.710><c> them</c><00:25:02.910><c> all</c>

00:25:03.190 --> 00:25:03.829
the<00:25:03.369><c> time.</c>

00:25:04.250 --> 00:25:07.009
But<00:25:04.369><c> he</c><00:25:04.490><c> must</c><00:25:04.710><c> have</c><00:25:04.950><c> poured</c><00:25:05.170><c> out</c><00:25:05.390><c> his</c><00:25:05.690><c> soul</c><00:25:05.910><c> to</c><00:25:06.150><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:25:07.430 --> 00:25:12.710
And<00:25:08.230><c> Jonathan</c><00:25:08.630><c> clasped</c><00:25:09.230><c> him</c><00:25:09.349><c> with</c><00:25:09.549><c> two</c><00:25:09.910><c> arms</c><00:25:10.650><c> and</c><00:25:11.309><c> strengthened</c><00:25:12.069><c> his</c><00:25:12.349><c> hand</c>

00:25:12.710 --> 00:25:14.750
in<00:25:12.990><c> God.</c>

00:25:15.069 --> 00:25:17.609
We're<00:25:15.329><c> told</c><00:25:15.490><c> just</c><00:25:15.710><c> a</c><00:25:15.849><c> little</c><00:25:16.029><c> bit</c><00:25:16.170><c> of</c><00:25:16.289><c> what</c><00:25:16.410><c> he</c><00:25:16.609><c> said.</c>

00:25:25.890 --> 00:25:29.509
That<00:25:26.690><c> was</c><00:25:27.490><c> always</c><00:25:28.130><c> a</c><00:25:28.430><c> conclusion.</c>

00:25:29.710 --> 00:25:33.230
From<00:25:29.990><c> 13</c><00:25:30.549><c> verse</c><00:25:30.809><c> 14</c><00:25:31.289><c> and</c><00:25:31.609><c> 15</c><00:25:32.150><c> verse</c><00:25:32.549><c> 28,</c>

00:25:33.230 --> 00:25:38.250
as<00:25:33.990><c> we've</c><00:25:34.269><c> seen,</c><00:25:34.670><c> that</c><00:25:34.670><c> was</c><00:25:34.970><c> always</c><00:25:35.710><c> a</c><00:25:36.069><c> conclusion</c><00:25:36.529><c> in</c><00:25:37.410><c> Jonathan's</c><00:25:37.970><c> mind,</c>

00:25:38.329 --> 00:25:38.809
wasn't<00:25:38.529><c> it?</c>

00:25:39.069 --> 00:25:43.509
He<00:25:39.490><c> never,</c><00:25:39.849><c> ever</c><00:25:40.269><c> wrestled</c><00:25:41.289><c> with</c><00:25:41.730><c> that</c><00:25:42.029><c> fact</c><00:25:42.289><c> that</c><00:25:42.410><c> there</c><00:25:42.609><c> would</c><00:25:42.910><c> be</c>

00:25:43.509 --> 00:25:44.029
a<00:25:43.789><c> man</c>

00:25:44.029 --> 00:25:48.049
after<00:25:44.329><c> God's</c><00:25:44.750><c> own</c><00:25:44.990><c> heart,</c><00:25:45.890><c> a</c><00:25:46.009><c> neighbor</c><00:25:46.309><c> better</c><00:25:46.630><c> than</c><00:25:46.809><c> his</c><00:25:47.109><c> father,</c>

00:25:48.250 --> 00:25:51.289
who<00:25:48.369><c> would</c><00:25:48.589><c> be</c><00:25:48.930><c> placed</c><00:25:49.250><c> as</c><00:25:49.630><c> king</c><00:25:49.910><c> over</c><00:25:50.250><c> Israel.</c>

00:25:51.450 --> 00:25:54.410
And<00:25:51.630><c> he's</c><00:25:51.910><c> cooperated</c><00:25:52.549><c> with</c><00:25:52.730><c> that</c><00:25:53.369><c> utterly.</c>

00:25:55.849 --> 00:25:59.430
And<00:25:55.950><c> then</c><00:25:56.069><c> he</c><00:25:56.190><c> says,</c><00:25:56.890><c> and</c><00:25:56.930><c> I</c><00:25:57.190><c> shall</c><00:25:57.349><c> be</c><00:25:57.569><c> next</c><00:25:58.150><c> unto</c><00:25:58.470><c> thee.</c>

00:26:00.109 --> 00:26:01.630
How<00:26:00.329><c> he</c><00:26:00.430><c> would</c><00:26:00.569><c> have</c><00:26:00.769><c> loved</c><00:26:00.990><c> that.</c>

00:26:01.630 --> 00:26:05.609
Even<00:26:02.329><c> though</c><00:26:02.549><c> he</c><00:26:02.569><c> was</c><00:26:02.970><c> an</c><00:26:03.150><c> older</c><00:26:03.269><c> man</c><00:26:03.809><c> and</c><00:26:04.069><c> the</c><00:26:04.269><c> prince,</c><00:26:05.390><c> full</c>

00:26:05.609 --> 00:26:06.970
of<00:26:05.950><c> capacities,</c>

00:26:07.829 --> 00:26:11.289
yet<00:26:07.910><c> he</c><00:26:07.950><c> was</c><00:26:08.150><c> very</c><00:26:08.509><c> happy</c><00:26:08.750><c> to</c><00:26:08.950><c> be</c><00:26:09.630><c> number</c><00:26:10.069><c> two.</c>

00:26:12.250 --> 00:26:15.910
And<00:26:12.589><c> that</c><00:26:12.869><c> also</c><00:26:13.589><c> saw</c><00:26:14.190><c> my</c><00:26:14.549><c> father,</c><00:26:15.369><c> Noah.</c>

00:26:16.630 --> 00:26:20.430
Indeed<00:26:16.930><c> he</c><00:26:17.049><c> did.</c><00:26:17.809><c> He's</c><00:26:18.089><c> known</c><00:26:18.230><c> that</c><00:26:18.529><c> too</c><00:26:18.809><c> for</c><00:26:19.009><c> a</c><00:26:19.049><c> long</c><00:26:19.329><c> time.</c>

00:26:21.230 --> 00:26:24.250
So<00:26:21.450><c> as</c><00:26:21.609><c> they</c><00:26:21.950><c> communicated</c><00:26:22.430><c> together</c><00:26:23.069><c> in</c><00:26:23.710><c> this</c><00:26:23.869><c> very</c>

00:26:24.250 --> 00:26:26.490
dangerous<00:26:25.309><c> encounter,</c>

00:26:26.710 --> 00:26:28.829
but<00:26:26.890><c> very</c><00:26:27.410><c> sweet</c><00:26:27.630><c> and</c><00:26:27.910><c> beautiful,</c>

00:26:29.410 --> 00:26:31.670
they<00:26:30.009><c> renewed</c><00:26:30.430><c> the</c><00:26:30.710><c> covenant.</c>

00:26:32.750 --> 00:26:34.789
They<00:26:33.089><c> renewed</c><00:26:33.529><c> the</c><00:26:33.849><c> covenant.</c>

00:26:34.809 --> 00:26:37.049
It<00:26:34.930><c> wasn't</c><00:26:35.089><c> a</c><00:26:35.329><c> covenant</c><00:26:35.529><c> just</c><00:26:35.809><c> between</c><00:26:36.170><c> two</c><00:26:36.410><c> men,</c><00:26:36.670><c> was</c><00:26:36.829><c> it?</c>

00:26:37.250 --> 00:26:39.950
It<00:26:37.410><c> was</c><00:26:37.690><c> a</c><00:26:37.910><c> covenant</c><00:26:38.130><c> between</c><00:26:38.589><c> houses.</c>

00:26:40.789 --> 00:26:43.369
They<00:26:41.089><c> too</c><00:26:41.369><c> made</c><00:26:41.609><c> a</c><00:26:41.930><c> covenant</c><00:26:42.170><c> before</c><00:26:42.589><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:26:43.849 --> 00:26:46.210
And<00:26:44.029><c> David</c><00:26:44.289><c> abode</c><00:26:44.710><c> in</c><00:26:45.009><c> the</c><00:26:45.230><c> wood.</c>

00:26:46.990 --> 00:26:49.349
And<00:26:47.250><c> Jonathan</c><00:26:47.569><c> went</c><00:26:47.890><c> to</c><00:26:48.089><c> his</c><00:26:48.329><c> house.</c>

00:26:49.670 --> 00:26:53.490
This<00:26:49.990><c> time</c><00:26:50.250><c> it</c><00:26:50.390><c> was</c><00:26:50.630><c> David</c><00:26:50.990><c> that</c><00:26:51.269><c> watched</c><00:26:51.710><c> until</c><00:26:52.789><c> the</c><00:26:53.130><c> stately</c>

00:26:53.490 --> 00:26:55.529
form<00:26:53.930><c> of</c><00:26:54.170><c> his</c><00:26:54.470><c> friend</c>

00:26:55.630 --> 00:26:57.869
disappeared<00:26:56.190><c> through</c><00:26:56.509><c> the</c><00:26:56.769><c> trees.</c>

00:26:58.690 --> 00:27:00.730
And<00:26:58.690><c> he</c><00:26:58.849><c> wondered</c><00:26:59.109><c> what</c><00:26:59.369><c> lay</c><00:26:59.589><c> ahead.</c>

00:27:01.250 --> 00:27:03.789
Jonathan<00:27:01.589><c> went</c><00:27:01.910><c> to</c><00:27:02.069><c> his</c><00:27:02.269><c> house.</c>

00:27:03.890 --> 00:27:06.250
Well,<00:27:04.089><c> we</c><00:27:04.190><c> turn</c><00:27:04.390><c> over</c><00:27:04.630><c> the</c><00:27:04.869><c> pages,</c><00:27:05.130><c> don't</c><00:27:05.329><c> we?</c>

00:27:06.529 --> 00:27:10.069
Of<00:27:06.690><c> Ingedi</c><00:27:07.230><c> and</c><00:27:07.430><c> Abigail</c><00:27:08.049><c> and</c><00:27:08.430><c> Hakelah.</c>

Chapter<00:27:11.130><c> 27,</c><00:27:12.569><c> where</c><00:27:12.730><c> he</c><00:27:12.809><c> goes</c><00:27:13.089><c> down</c><00:27:13.369><c> into</c><00:27:13.589><c> Philistia</c><00:27:14.109><c> a</c><00:27:14.390><c> second</c><00:27:14.650><c> time.</c>

00:27:18.369 --> 00:27:20.690
The<00:27:18.630><c> days</c><00:27:19.029><c> of</c><00:27:19.289><c> his</c><00:27:19.589><c> exile.</c>

00:27:21.089 --> 00:27:23.670
We<00:27:21.430><c> don't</c><00:27:21.690><c> know</c><00:27:21.930><c> how</c><00:27:22.210><c> many</c><00:27:22.490><c> years</c><00:27:22.849><c> is</c><00:27:23.069><c> in</c><00:27:23.250><c> there,</c>

00:27:23.670 --> 00:27:27.750
but<00:27:24.470><c> it</c><00:27:24.609><c> came</c><00:27:24.829><c> to</c><00:27:25.029><c> pass</c><00:27:25.250><c> in</c><00:27:25.390><c> chapter</c><00:27:25.630><c> 28</c><00:27:26.150><c> and</c><00:27:26.309><c> verse</c><00:27:26.630><c> 1,</c>

the<00:27:31.670><c> Philistines,</c>

And<00:27:38.630><c> Achish</c><00:27:38.849><c> said</c><00:27:39.089><c> unto</c><00:27:39.250><c> David,</c><00:27:39.750><c> Know</c><00:27:40.049><c> thou</c><00:27:40.329><c> assuredly</c><00:27:41.150><c> that</c>

And<00:27:44.849><c> David</c><00:27:45.130><c> said</c><00:27:45.349><c> to</c><00:27:45.549><c> Achish,</c><00:27:46.029><c> Surely</c><00:27:46.329><c> thou</c><00:27:46.990><c> shalt</c><00:27:47.289><c> know</c><00:27:47.609><c> what</c>

00:27:47.829 --> 00:27:49.109
thy<00:27:48.109><c> servant</c><00:27:48.430><c> can</c><00:27:48.730><c> do.</c>

00:27:49.109 --> 00:27:51.890
And<00:27:49.869><c> you</c><00:27:50.029><c> know,</c><00:27:50.210><c> some</c><00:27:50.450><c> have</c><00:27:50.650><c> suggested</c><00:27:51.130><c> that</c><00:27:51.450><c> David</c><00:27:51.690><c> would</c>

00:27:51.890 --> 00:27:53.250
have<00:27:52.089><c> cooperated</c><00:27:52.509><c> with</c><00:27:52.829><c> Achish.</c>

00:27:53.670 --> 00:27:56.769
I<00:27:53.950><c> could</c><00:27:54.289><c> never,</c><00:27:54.710><c> ever</c><00:27:55.390><c> dream</c><00:27:55.809><c> of</c><00:27:56.069><c> that.</c>

00:27:57.250 --> 00:28:00.289
I<00:27:57.410><c> think</c><00:27:57.650><c> the</c><00:27:57.890><c> lords</c><00:27:58.069><c> of</c><00:27:58.250><c> the</c><00:27:58.369><c> Philistines</c><00:27:58.869><c> were</c><00:27:59.170><c> spot</c><00:27:59.529><c> on.</c>

00:28:00.529 --> 00:28:02.890
And<00:28:00.650><c> they</c><00:28:00.930><c> knew</c><00:28:01.150><c> when</c><00:28:01.289><c> they</c><00:28:01.509><c> looked</c><00:28:01.670><c> behind</c><00:28:02.029><c> and</c><00:28:02.250><c> saw</c><00:28:02.490><c> in</c><00:28:02.710><c> the</c>

00:28:03.410 --> 00:28:07.170
that<00:28:03.849><c> there</c><00:28:04.089><c> was</c><00:28:04.289><c> Achish,</c><00:28:04.750><c> their</c><00:28:04.890><c> king,</c><00:28:05.569><c> and</c><00:28:05.789><c> there</c><00:28:05.970><c> was</c><00:28:06.470><c> David</c><00:28:06.950><c> and</c>

00:28:07.170 --> 00:28:08.329
his<00:28:07.390><c> men,</c>

00:28:08.609 --> 00:28:10.829
that<00:28:08.829><c> as</c><00:28:09.009><c> soon</c><00:28:09.170><c> as</c><00:28:09.269><c> they</c><00:28:09.470><c> got</c><00:28:09.670><c> near</c><00:28:09.869><c> the</c><00:28:10.130><c> Israelites,</c><00:28:10.670><c> they</c>

00:28:10.829 --> 00:28:11.769
would<00:28:11.009><c> have</c><00:28:11.109><c> had</c><00:28:11.230><c> two</c><00:28:11.450><c> enemies,</c>

00:28:11.829 --> 00:28:14.150
one<00:28:12.009><c> in</c><00:28:12.170><c> the</c><00:28:12.309><c> front</c><00:28:12.609><c> and</c><00:28:13.410><c> one</c><00:28:13.630><c> behind.</c>

00:28:14.529 --> 00:28:17.269
Do<00:28:14.750><c> you</c><00:28:14.990><c> think</c><00:28:15.210><c> that</c><00:28:15.410><c> David</c><00:28:15.730><c> that</c><00:28:16.049><c> slew</c><00:28:16.210><c> Goliath</c><00:28:16.609><c> and</c><00:28:16.930><c> said</c><00:28:17.069><c> what</c><00:28:17.109><c> he</c>

00:28:17.269 --> 00:28:18.250
did<00:28:17.349><c> in</c><00:28:17.509><c> the</c><00:28:17.609><c> valley</c><00:28:17.789><c> of</c><00:28:17.970><c> Elah</c>

00:28:18.250 --> 00:28:23.609
would<00:28:18.910><c> turn</c><00:28:19.250><c> his</c><00:28:19.650><c> sword</c><00:28:19.910><c> for</c><00:28:20.230><c> the</c><00:28:20.470><c> Philistines</c><00:28:21.930><c> against</c><00:28:22.990><c> the</c><00:28:23.250><c> Israelites?</c>

00:28:23.809 --> 00:28:27.089
No,<00:28:24.349><c> never,</c><00:28:24.750><c> my</c><00:28:24.910><c> dear</c><00:28:25.029><c> brothers</c><00:28:25.230><c> and</c><00:28:25.430><c> sisters,</c><00:28:25.549><c> but</c><00:28:25.730><c> I</c><00:28:26.009><c> imagine</c><00:28:26.289><c> that.</c>

00:28:27.650 --> 00:28:31.250
But<00:28:27.829><c> he</c><00:28:27.890><c> was</c><00:28:28.190><c> relishing</c><00:28:28.509><c> to</c><00:28:28.750><c> go.</c><00:28:29.730><c> He</c><00:28:29.869><c> was</c><00:28:30.029><c> quite</c><00:28:30.309><c> happy</c><00:28:30.589><c> to</c><00:28:30.829><c> go.</c>

00:28:31.490 --> 00:28:33.690
And<00:28:31.609><c> it</c><00:28:31.630><c> was</c><00:28:31.730><c> only</c><00:28:31.990><c> through</c><00:28:32.230><c> the</c><00:28:32.630><c> continued</c><00:28:32.930><c> policy</c><00:28:33.369><c> of</c><00:28:33.549><c> the</c>

00:28:33.690 --> 00:28:36.490
lords<00:28:33.869><c> of</c><00:28:34.049><c> the</c><00:28:34.190><c> Philistines</c><00:28:34.869><c> that</c><00:28:35.509><c> he</c><00:28:35.710><c> did</c><00:28:35.970><c> not</c><00:28:36.230><c> go.</c>

00:28:36.710 --> 00:28:40.710
Do<00:28:36.849><c> you</c><00:28:37.009><c> think</c><00:28:37.190><c> that</c><00:28:37.349><c> he</c><00:28:37.470><c> would</c><00:28:37.630><c> be</c><00:28:37.890><c> going</c><00:28:38.069><c> in</c><00:28:38.329><c> opposition</c><00:28:38.849><c> to</c><00:28:39.710><c> Jonathan?</c>

00:28:41.130 --> 00:28:42.470
Really<00:28:41.369><c> put</c><00:28:41.529><c> it</c><00:28:41.750><c> together,</c><00:28:42.069><c> isn't</c><00:28:42.230><c> it?</c>

00:28:42.470 --> 00:28:46.809
No,<00:28:43.430><c> indeed,</c><00:28:44.349><c> there</c><00:28:44.589><c> would</c><00:28:44.789><c> have</c><00:28:44.950><c> been</c><00:28:45.130><c> two</c><00:28:45.349><c> enemies</c><00:28:45.769><c> for</c><00:28:46.029><c> the</c><00:28:46.190><c> Philistines</c>

00:28:46.809 --> 00:28:49.130
if<00:28:47.289><c> that</c><00:28:47.490><c> had</c><00:28:47.710><c> been</c><00:28:47.910><c> the</c><00:28:48.109><c> case.</c>

00:28:51.029 --> 00:28:53.970
Now<00:28:51.369><c> Samuel</c><00:28:51.549><c> was</c><00:28:51.809><c> dead,</c><00:28:52.089><c> verse</c><00:28:52.390><c> 3,</c><00:28:52.690><c> and</c><00:28:52.869><c> Israel</c><00:28:53.170><c> had</c><00:28:53.430><c> lamented</c><00:28:53.789><c> him.</c>

00:28:54.089 --> 00:28:59.589
And<00:28:54.170><c> we</c><00:28:54.329><c> remember</c><00:28:54.990><c> that</c><00:28:55.549><c> Saul,</c><00:28:55.769><c> of</c><00:28:56.029><c> course,</c><00:28:57.190><c> he</c><00:28:57.470><c> sought</c><00:28:57.809><c> to</c><00:28:58.369><c> the...</c>

00:28:59.589 --> 00:29:03.549
in<00:28:59.869><c> his</c><00:29:00.109><c> great</c><00:29:00.309><c> despair,</c><00:29:01.269><c> he</c><00:29:01.490><c> sought</c><00:29:02.069><c> to</c><00:29:02.950><c> Samuel.</c>

00:29:03.829 --> 00:29:05.569
Interesting,<00:29:04.430><c> isn't</c><00:29:04.609><c> it?</c>

00:29:05.630 --> 00:29:08.009
He<00:29:06.150><c> wanted</c><00:29:06.369><c> to</c><00:29:06.690><c> bring</c><00:29:06.809><c> up</c><00:29:07.190><c> Samuel,</c><00:29:07.450><c> as</c><00:29:07.670><c> it</c><00:29:07.829><c> were.</c>

00:29:08.009 --> 00:29:11.450
My<00:29:08.329><c> persuasion</c><00:29:08.950><c> is</c><00:29:09.130><c> he</c><00:29:09.230><c> got</c><00:29:09.450><c> more</c><00:29:09.849><c> than</c><00:29:09.990><c> he</c><00:29:10.230><c> asked</c><00:29:10.430><c> for.</c>

00:29:13.170 --> 00:29:17.029
I<00:29:13.369><c> believe</c><00:29:13.650><c> that</c><00:29:13.930><c> God,</c><00:29:14.190><c> who</c><00:29:14.369><c> acted</c><00:29:14.710><c> through</c><00:29:15.089><c> this,</c><00:29:15.529><c> did</c><00:29:15.730><c> in</c><00:29:15.950><c> fact</c><00:29:16.069><c> give</c><00:29:16.349><c> him</c><00:29:16.569><c> a</c><00:29:16.789><c> message</c>

00:29:17.029 --> 00:29:19.410
as<00:29:17.289><c> though</c><00:29:17.490><c> it</c><00:29:17.589><c> were</c><00:29:17.690><c> from</c><00:29:18.009><c> Samuel</c><00:29:18.250><c> himself.</c>

00:29:20.170 --> 00:29:22.750
Samuel's<00:29:20.690><c> words,</c><00:29:20.869><c> you</c><00:29:21.049><c> know,</c><00:29:21.410><c> it</c><00:29:21.670><c> was</c><00:29:21.950><c> right</c><00:29:22.250><c> that</c><00:29:22.430><c> he</c><00:29:22.589><c> should</c>

00:29:22.750 --> 00:29:24.650
get<00:29:22.930><c> this</c><00:29:23.190><c> message</c><00:29:23.490><c> from</c><00:29:23.750><c> Samuel,</c><00:29:24.190><c> wasn't</c><00:29:24.369><c> it?</c>

00:29:24.990 --> 00:29:28.329
When<00:29:25.269><c> was</c><00:29:25.549><c> the</c><00:29:25.710><c> last</c><00:29:26.109><c> time</c><00:29:26.390><c> that</c><00:29:26.549><c> he</c><00:29:26.690><c> was</c><00:29:26.890><c> in</c><00:29:27.089><c> Samuel's</c><00:29:27.589><c> company?</c>

00:29:29.470 --> 00:29:30.789
After<00:29:29.789><c> he</c><00:29:29.930><c> sent</c><00:29:30.029><c> the</c><00:29:30.289><c> messages.</c>

00:29:31.269 --> 00:29:34.190
And<00:29:31.410><c> when</c><00:29:31.609><c> David</c><00:29:32.049><c> and</c><00:29:32.410><c> he</c><00:29:32.569><c> were</c><00:29:32.730><c> on</c><00:29:32.930><c> the</c><00:29:33.230><c> floor</c><00:29:33.430><c> together</c><00:29:33.930><c> in</c>

00:29:34.190 --> 00:29:35.150
Samuel's<00:29:34.849><c> company,</c>

00:29:35.150 --> 00:29:40.329
wasn't<00:29:35.769><c> that</c><00:29:36.009><c> an</c><00:29:36.269><c> appeal</c><00:29:36.630><c> by</c><00:29:37.029><c> God</c><00:29:37.470><c> to</c><00:29:38.569><c> give</c><00:29:38.890><c> him</c><00:29:39.210><c> another</c><00:29:39.869><c> chance?</c>

00:29:40.509 --> 00:29:41.250
Indeed<00:29:40.710><c> it</c><00:29:40.990><c> was.</c>

00:29:41.549 --> 00:29:43.309
And<00:29:41.630><c> he</c><00:29:41.930><c> refused</c><00:29:42.349><c> that</c><00:29:42.650><c> chance,</c><00:29:43.089><c> didn't</c><00:29:43.170><c> he?</c>

00:29:43.329 --> 00:29:44.609
Foolish<00:29:43.769><c> man.</c>

00:29:44.630 --> 00:29:47.170
And<00:29:44.630><c> now</c><00:29:45.349><c> he</c><00:29:45.589><c> comes</c><00:29:46.109><c> to</c><00:29:46.349><c> want</c><00:29:46.509><c> Samuel</c><00:29:46.869><c> again.</c>

00:29:47.210 --> 00:29:49.309
Well,<00:29:47.369><c> he</c><00:29:47.490><c> gets</c><00:29:47.750><c> a</c><00:29:47.990><c> right</c><00:29:48.170><c> message.</c>

00:29:50.230 --> 00:29:53.950
He<00:29:50.369><c> was</c><00:29:50.650><c> told,</c><00:29:52.250><c> verse</c><00:29:52.609><c> 17,</c>

00:29:54.150 --> 00:29:57.750
that<00:29:54.230><c> Yahweh</c><00:29:54.710><c> hath</c><00:29:54.950><c> rent</c><00:29:55.230><c> the</c><00:29:55.430><c> kingdom</c><00:29:55.930><c> out</c><00:29:57.089><c> of</c><00:29:57.289><c> thine</c><00:29:57.490><c> hand</c>

00:29:57.750 --> 00:29:59.309
and<00:29:57.990><c> given</c><00:29:58.170><c> it</c><00:29:58.410><c> to</c><00:29:58.529><c> thy</c><00:29:58.769><c> neighbour.</c>

00:29:59.789 --> 00:30:01.869
Hear<00:29:59.950><c> the</c><00:30:00.230><c> echo,</c><00:30:00.710><c> 15,</c><00:30:01.329><c> verse</c><00:30:01.490><c> 28.</c>

00:30:02.049 --> 00:30:04.069

00:36:57.429 --> 00:36:59.650
They<00:36:57.550><c> must</c><00:36:57.789><c> have</c><00:36:57.889><c> been</c><00:36:58.070><c> close</c><00:36:58.349><c> together.</c>

00:37:00.210 --> 00:37:02.530
Saul<00:37:00.510><c> and</c><00:37:00.750><c> Jonathan</c><00:37:01.090><c> were</c><00:37:01.289><c> lovely</c><00:37:01.610><c> and</c><00:37:01.929><c> pleasant</c><00:37:02.150><c> in</c><00:37:02.289><c> their</c>

in<00:43:24.190><c> Benjamin.</c>

00:43:24.889 --> 00:43:29.730
What<00:43:25.130><c> if</c><00:43:25.190><c> they</c><00:43:25.409><c> had</c><00:43:25.550><c> had</c><00:43:25.730><c> a</c><00:43:25.989><c> Jonathan,</c><00:43:27.250><c> the</c><00:43:27.590><c> second</c><00:43:27.949><c> in</c><00:43:28.349><c> charge,</c><00:43:28.789><c> to</c><00:43:28.989><c> David?</c>

00:43:29.909 --> 00:43:31.829
It<00:43:30.170><c> would</c><00:43:30.349><c> have</c><00:43:30.489><c> been</c><00:43:30.610><c> very</c><00:43:31.090><c> hard</c><00:43:31.369><c> indeed.</c>

00:43:31.829 --> 00:43:36.329
So<00:43:32.650><c> the</c><00:43:32.809><c> record</c><00:43:33.050><c> in</c><00:43:33.250><c> 1</c><00:43:33.570><c> Chronicles</c><00:43:34.150><c> 10</c><00:43:34.469><c> verse</c><00:43:34.710><c> 6</c><00:43:34.949><c> says</c><00:43:35.250><c> this.</c>

00:43:37.070 --> 00:43:42.510
That<00:43:37.110><c> when</c><00:43:37.510><c> Saul</c><00:43:37.869><c> died,</c><00:43:39.210><c> all</c><00:43:39.590><c> his</c><00:43:39.909><c> house</c><00:43:40.489><c> died</c><00:43:41.190><c> together.</c>

And<00:43:46.090><c> that</c><00:43:46.309><c> obviously</c><00:43:46.690><c> was</c><00:43:46.989><c> the</c><00:43:47.190><c> wisdom</c><00:43:47.449><c> of</c><00:43:47.690><c> God</c><00:43:47.869><c> to</c><00:43:48.070><c> give</c><00:43:48.250><c> David</c><00:43:48.630><c> a</c>

00:44:00.210 --> 00:44:01.989

00:44:02.190 --> 00:44:03.590
They<00:44:02.210><c> forsook</c><00:44:02.670><c> their</c><00:44:02.889><c> cities</c><00:44:03.170><c> and</c><00:44:03.389><c> fled.</c>

And<00:44:04.050><c> the</c><00:44:04.269><c> Philistines</c><00:44:04.829><c> came</c><00:44:05.230><c> and</c><00:44:05.590><c> dwelt</c><00:44:05.869><c> in</c><00:44:06.110><c> them.</c>

00:44:06.449 --> 00:44:08.530
It's<00:44:06.769><c> like</c><00:44:07.010><c> where</c><00:44:07.210><c> we</c><00:44:07.510><c> started,</c><00:44:07.949><c> isn't</c><00:44:08.070><c> it?</c>

00:44:14.170 --> 00:44:19.570

00:44:21.769 --> 00:44:23.750
They<00:44:22.230><c> cut</c><00:44:22.469><c> off</c><00:44:22.650><c> his</c><00:44:22.949><c> head.</c>

00:44:24.010 --> 00:44:26.230
It<00:44:24.170><c> doesn't</c><00:44:24.369><c> say</c><00:44:24.670><c> what</c><00:44:24.829><c> they</c><00:44:25.030><c> did</c><00:44:25.150><c> to</c><00:44:25.389><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:44:26.389 --> 00:44:28.170
Perhaps<00:44:26.730><c> that's</c><00:44:27.070><c> just</c><00:44:27.429><c> spared</c><00:44:27.590><c> for</c><00:44:27.829><c> us.</c>

00:44:28.170 --> 00:44:33.349
But<00:44:28.849><c> it's</c><00:44:28.989><c> hard</c><00:44:29.250><c> to</c><00:44:29.409><c> believe</c><00:44:29.690><c> that</c><00:44:29.869><c> he</c><00:44:29.909><c> would</c><00:44:30.110><c> have</c><00:44:30.250><c> had</c><00:44:30.429><c> a</c><00:44:31.610><c> different</c><00:44:31.610><c> ending,</c><00:44:32.130><c> isn't</c><00:44:32.349><c> it?</c>

00:44:33.989 --> 00:44:35.949
They<00:44:34.349><c> stripped</c><00:44:34.590><c> off</c><00:44:34.829><c> his</c><00:44:35.070><c> armour.</c>
