And<00:03:35.659><c> I</c><00:03:35.819><c> don't</c><00:03:35.840><c> know</c><00:03:35.939><c> anyone</c><00:03:36.139><c> in</c><00:03:36.319><c> here</c><00:03:36.439><c> who</c><00:03:36.599><c> doesn't</c><00:03:36.780><c> have</c><00:03:36.979><c> those</c><00:03:37.199><c> two</c><00:03:37.400><c> things.</c>

00:03:38.580 --> 00:03:41.580
Let's<00:03:38.819><c> just</c><00:03:39.080><c> read</c><00:03:39.259><c> carefully</c><00:03:39.680><c> verse</c><00:03:40.000><c> one</c><00:03:40.460><c> of</c><00:03:40.659><c> 1</c><00:03:40.800><c> Samuel</c><00:03:41.080><c> 17.</c>

00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:43.560
There's<00:03:41.840><c> a</c><00:03:41.939><c> precision</c><00:03:42.439><c> about</c><00:03:42.699><c> this</c><00:03:42.960><c> verse</c><00:03:43.120><c> that</c><00:03:43.259><c> we</c><00:03:43.379><c> really</c>

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:47.159
Now,<00:03:45.560><c> the</c><00:03:45.759><c> Philistines</c><00:03:46.120><c> gathered</c><00:03:46.419><c> together</c><00:03:46.740><c> their</c><00:03:46.919><c> armies</c>

00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.600
This,<00:05:53.319><c> off</c><00:05:53.420><c> in</c><00:05:53.519><c> the</c><00:05:53.680><c> distance</c><00:05:53.980><c> here,</c><00:05:54.300><c> is</c><00:05:54.439><c> Beth</c><00:05:54.680><c> Shemesh,</c>

present<00:05:59.819><c> moment.</c>

00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:04.620
So<00:06:00.579><c> it</c><00:06:00.660><c> was</c><00:06:00.879><c> here</c><00:06:01.519><c> where</c><00:06:02.420><c> this</c><00:06:02.939><c> great</c><00:06:03.160><c> battle</c><00:06:03.420><c> took</c><00:06:03.639><c> place.</c>

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.899
Now<00:06:04.980><c> verse</c><00:06:05.220><c> three</c><00:06:05.779><c> is</c><00:06:06.399><c> very,</c><00:06:06.740><c> very</c><00:06:07.019><c> carefully</c><00:06:07.439><c> worded.</c>

00:06:07.899 --> 00:06:10.699
It<00:06:08.060><c> says,</c><00:06:08.399><c> and</c><00:06:08.399><c> the</c><00:06:08.660><c> Philistines</c><00:06:09.220><c> stood</c><00:06:09.560><c> on</c><00:06:09.959><c> a</c><00:06:10.120><c> mountain</c><00:06:10.420><c> on</c>

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:14.180
what<00:18:09.960><c> God</c><00:18:10.240><c> would</c><00:18:10.500><c> ultimately</c><00:18:10.900><c> do</c><00:18:11.319><c> with</c><00:18:11.519><c> the</c><00:18:11.740><c> great</c><00:18:11.940><c> power</c><00:18:12.839><c> of</c><00:18:13.359><c> sin.</c>
