And<00:06:46.660><c> it</c><00:06:46.779><c> means</c><00:06:46.920><c> an</c><00:06:47.100><c> oak</c><00:06:47.240><c> because</c><00:06:47.480><c> what's</c><00:06:47.779><c> going</c><00:06:47.899><c> to</c><00:06:48.040><c> happen</c><00:06:48.279><c> is</c>

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.139
there's<00:06:48.560><c> going</c><00:06:48.680><c> to</c><00:06:48.879><c> be</c><00:06:49.420><c> pitched</c><00:06:49.899><c> two</c><00:06:50.600><c> armies</c>

00:06:51.139 --> 00:06:55.319
and<00:06:52.000><c> one</c><00:06:52.819><c> strong</c><00:06:53.480><c> tree</c><00:06:53.939><c> is</c><00:06:54.180><c> going</c><00:06:54.300><c> to</c><00:06:54.480><c> remain.</c>

00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.180
One<00:06:55.959><c> of</c><00:06:56.079><c> them</c><00:06:56.079><c> is</c><00:06:56.199><c> going</c><00:06:56.339><c> to</c><00:06:56.420><c> get</c><00:06:56.579><c> cut</c><00:06:56.759><c> down.</c>

00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.680
So<00:06:59.100><c> we're</c><00:06:59.240><c> in</c><00:06:59.319><c> this</c><00:06:59.500><c> Valley</c><00:06:59.740><c> of</c><00:07:00.019><c> Elah,</c><00:07:00.540><c> but</c><00:07:00.680><c> we're</c><00:07:00.980><c> also</c><00:07:01.420><c> told</c>

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.519
that<00:07:01.879><c> it's</c><00:07:02.040><c> near</c><00:07:02.160><c> Iphesh</c><00:07:03.019><c> Dami,</c>

00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:05.660
which<00:07:03.819><c> means</c><00:07:04.180><c> bloodsheds.</c>

00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.180
So<00:07:06.319><c> in</c><00:07:06.620><c> this</c><00:07:07.100><c> vicinity,</c><00:07:07.839><c> there's</c><00:07:07.920><c> going</c><00:07:08.100><c> to</c><00:07:08.220><c> be</c><00:07:08.459><c> a</c><00:07:08.620><c> battle</c><00:07:08.819><c> which</c><00:07:09.019><c> is</c>

00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:09.860
going<00:07:09.279><c> to</c><00:07:09.379><c> go</c><00:07:09.639><c> on,</c>

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.480
and<00:07:10.019><c> it's</c><00:07:10.139><c> going</c><00:07:10.240><c> to</c><00:07:10.339><c> be</c><00:07:10.560><c> bloodshedding.</c>

00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.740
So<00:07:13.100><c> there's</c><00:07:13.339><c> a</c><00:07:13.480><c> little</c><00:07:13.660><c> bit</c><00:07:13.879><c> of</c><00:07:14.139><c> symbolic</c><00:07:14.620><c> imagery</c><00:07:15.019><c> here</c><00:07:15.360><c> pointing</c><00:07:15.519><c> forward</c><00:07:15.899><c> to</c>

00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:17.939
the<00:07:17.579><c> enmity</c>

00:07:17.939 --> 00:07:20.920
between<00:07:18.300><c> the</c><00:07:18.459><c> seat</c><00:07:18.540><c> of</c><00:07:18.680><c> the</c><00:07:18.800><c> woman</c><00:07:19.079><c> and</c><00:07:19.600><c> the</c><00:07:19.779><c> seat</c><00:07:19.879><c> of</c><00:07:20.060><c> the</c><00:07:20.180><c> serpent.</c>

00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:25.459
Then<00:07:22.540><c> we're</c><00:07:22.680><c> also</c><00:07:22.879><c> told</c><00:07:23.120><c> that</c><00:07:23.339><c> it's</c><00:07:23.579><c> in</c><00:07:23.939><c> Soka</c><00:07:24.519><c> and</c><00:07:25.040><c> Azika.</c>

00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.399
Well,<00:07:25.939><c> Soka</c><00:07:26.160><c> means</c><00:07:26.379><c> to</c><00:07:26.740><c> hedge</c><00:07:26.959><c> in.</c>

00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.180
So<00:07:27.839><c> that</c><00:07:28.079><c> means</c><00:07:28.519><c> that</c><00:07:28.939><c> when</c><00:07:29.079><c> you</c><00:07:29.319><c> come</c><00:07:29.480><c> to</c><00:07:29.620><c> this</c><00:07:29.879><c> valley,</c>

00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.699
you<00:07:30.759><c> don't</c><00:07:31.160><c> leave</c><00:07:31.759><c> until</c><00:07:32.220><c> something</c><00:07:32.660><c> has</c><00:07:32.860><c> been</c><00:07:33.100><c> accomplished</c>

00:07:33.699 --> 00:07:36.199
because<00:07:34.199><c> you're</c><00:07:34.740><c> hedged</c><00:07:35.300><c> in.</c>

00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:39.759
So<00:07:37.199><c> you</c><00:07:37.339><c> have</c><00:07:37.620><c> to</c><00:07:37.860><c> do</c><00:07:38.079><c> something</c><00:07:38.519><c> to</c><00:07:38.939><c> leave</c><00:07:39.160><c> this</c><00:07:39.500><c> valley.</c>

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.199
And<00:07:40.360><c> this</c><00:07:40.600><c> valley</c><00:07:41.000><c> is</c><00:07:41.639><c> on</c><00:07:41.959><c> one</c><00:07:42.259><c> side</c><00:07:42.600><c> called</c><00:07:43.100><c> Azika,</c><00:07:44.079><c> and</c><00:07:44.160><c> it</c>

00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:45.439
means<00:07:44.459><c> till.</c>

00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.699
So<00:07:46.220><c> this</c><00:07:46.500><c> ground</c><00:07:46.920><c> is</c><00:07:47.220><c> ready</c><00:07:47.579><c> for</c><00:07:47.819><c> the</c><00:07:48.060><c> seed</c><00:07:48.259><c> of</c><00:07:48.399><c> which</c><00:07:48.519><c> you're</c>

00:07:48.699 --> 00:07:50.439
going<00:07:48.879><c> to</c><00:07:49.060><c> be</c><00:07:49.279><c> sowing.</c>

00:07:52.339 --> 00:07:55.000
And<00:07:52.420><c> what</c><00:07:52.500><c> we</c><00:07:52.720><c> find</c><00:07:52.860><c> is</c><00:07:53.019><c> when</c><00:07:53.120><c> we</c><00:07:53.279><c> continue</c><00:07:53.540><c> reading</c><00:07:53.839><c> at</c><00:07:54.079><c> verse</c><00:07:54.439><c> three,</c>

00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.199
it<00:07:55.379><c> says,</c><00:07:56.060><c> and</c><00:07:56.060><c> the</c><00:07:56.259><c> Philistines</c><00:07:56.699><c> stood</c><00:07:57.180><c> on</c><00:07:57.480><c> a</c><00:07:57.620><c> mountain</c><00:07:57.860><c> on</c>

00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.459
one<00:07:58.500><c> side,</c>

00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:03.300
and<00:08:00.180><c> Israel</c><00:08:00.680><c> stood</c><00:08:01.199><c> on</c><00:08:01.680><c> a</c><00:08:01.819><c> mountain</c><00:08:02.160><c> on</c><00:08:02.420><c> the</c><00:08:02.579><c> other</c><00:08:02.800><c> side,</c>

00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.899
and<00:08:03.720><c> there</c><00:08:03.959><c> was</c><00:08:04.120><c> a</c><00:08:04.319><c> valley</c><00:08:04.579><c> between</c><00:08:05.060><c> them.</c>

00:08:06.540 --> 00:08:09.439
So<00:08:06.759><c> here's</c><00:08:06.959><c> what</c><00:08:07.019><c> we</c><00:08:07.300><c> have</c><00:08:07.620><c> just</c><00:08:07.899><c> in</c><00:08:08.100><c> the</c><00:08:08.240><c> next</c><00:08:08.459><c> screen.</c>

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:11.699

Here's<00:08:15.680><c> Israel</c><00:08:16.000><c> on</c><00:08:16.240><c> the</c><00:08:16.439><c> other</c><00:08:16.699><c> side</c><00:08:17.019><c> of</c><00:08:17.160><c> the</c><00:08:17.339><c> valley.</c>

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.620
And<00:08:18.459><c> here's</c><00:08:18.740><c> a</c><00:08:18.920><c> satellite</c><00:08:19.259><c> image</c><00:08:19.680><c> of</c><00:08:19.860><c> that</c><00:08:20.079><c> valley</c><00:08:20.319><c> today.</c>

00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:23.439
You<00:08:20.740><c> can</c><00:08:20.920><c> actually</c><00:08:21.180><c> go</c><00:08:21.420><c> there</c><00:08:21.639><c> if</c><00:08:21.819><c> you</c><00:08:21.920><c> go</c><00:08:22.040><c> to</c><00:08:22.220><c> the</c><00:08:22.399><c> Holy</c><00:08:22.600><c> Land.</c>

of<00:08:35.720><c> Elah?</c>

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:37.860
If<00:08:36.419><c> you</c><00:08:36.519><c> thought</c><00:08:36.659><c> of</c><00:08:36.799><c> a</c><00:08:37.000><c> snake,</c><00:08:37.320><c> then</c><00:08:37.379><c> you're</c><00:08:37.580><c> right.</c>

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:41.519
Because<00:08:38.639><c> in</c><00:08:38.980><c> this</c><00:08:39.259><c> valley</c><00:08:39.679><c> is</c><00:08:40.360><c> the</c><00:08:40.539><c> battle</c><00:08:40.740><c> between</c><00:08:41.240><c> the</c><00:08:41.480><c> seed</c>

And<00:08:55.840><c> here's</c><00:08:56.059><c> the</c><00:08:56.179><c> Valley</c><00:08:56.399><c> of</c><00:08:56.620><c> Elah,</c><00:08:56.980><c> a</c><00:08:57.100><c> nice</c><00:08:57.559><c> flat</c><00:08:58.200><c> valley</c><00:08:58.759><c> for</c>

00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:00.340
a<00:08:59.440><c> battle.</c>

00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.139
And<00:09:00.679><c> what</c><00:09:00.779><c> we're</c><00:09:00.879><c> told</c><00:09:01.080><c> is</c><00:09:01.299><c> that</c><00:09:01.820><c> the</c><00:09:02.000><c> Philistines</c><00:09:02.500><c> camped</c><00:09:02.940><c> on</c>

00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:04.460
this<00:09:03.440><c> side,</c><00:09:03.700><c> on</c><00:09:03.879><c> one</c><00:09:04.019><c> mountain,</c>

00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:08.620
and<00:09:05.240><c> Israel</c><00:09:05.779><c> camped</c><00:09:06.340><c> on</c><00:09:06.639><c> that</c><00:09:06.919><c> side,</c><00:09:07.240><c> on</c><00:09:07.519><c> one</c><00:09:07.659><c> mountain.</c>

00:09:09.700 --> 00:09:15.559
And<00:09:09.779><c> I</c><00:09:09.840><c> think</c><00:09:10.039><c> this</c><00:09:10.740><c> setting</c><00:09:11.320><c> for</c><00:09:11.860><c> Israel</c><00:09:12.519><c> was</c><00:09:13.879><c> very</c><00:09:14.279><c> fortuitous.</c>

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.539
I<00:09:16.500><c> think</c><00:09:16.580><c> when</c><00:09:16.720><c> Israel</c><00:09:16.980><c> got</c><00:09:17.220><c> to</c><00:09:17.379><c> this</c><00:09:17.639><c> battle</c><00:09:17.960><c> and</c><00:09:18.220><c> Goliath</c>

00:09:18.539 --> 00:09:19.679
stepped<00:09:18.779><c> forward,</c><00:09:19.320><c> they</c><00:09:19.360><c> said,</c>

00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:24.059
boy,<00:09:21.179><c> am</c><00:09:21.399><c> I</c><00:09:21.600><c> glad</c><00:09:22.059><c> that</c><00:09:22.360><c> we're</c><00:09:22.519><c> fighting</c><00:09:22.740><c> here.</c>

00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:29.279
Because<00:09:26.000><c> this</c><00:09:26.179><c> is</c><00:09:26.379><c> a</c><00:09:26.480><c> mountain,</c><00:09:27.600><c> and</c><00:09:27.700><c> this</c><00:09:27.879><c> is</c><00:09:28.059><c> a</c><00:09:28.200><c> valley,</c>

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:34.500
and<00:09:30.639><c> you</c><00:09:30.740><c> can</c><00:09:31.059><c> stay</c><00:09:31.320><c> up</c><00:09:31.519><c> on</c><00:09:31.639><c> that</c><00:09:31.779><c> mountain</c><00:09:32.279><c> all</c><00:09:33.120><c> day</c><00:09:33.379><c> long.</c>

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.320
And<00:09:35.679><c> if</c><00:09:35.759><c> you</c><00:09:35.860><c> don't</c><00:09:36.000><c> want</c><00:09:36.120><c> to</c><00:09:36.139><c> go</c><00:09:36.340><c> down</c><00:09:36.500><c> into</c><00:09:36.659><c> that</c><00:09:36.840><c> valley</c><00:09:37.100><c> to</c>

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:43.279
And<00:09:40.279><c> I</c><00:09:40.399><c> think</c><00:09:40.500><c> for</c><00:09:40.820><c> the</c><00:09:41.080><c> men</c><00:09:41.220><c> of</c><00:09:41.340><c> Israel,</c><00:09:41.779><c> the</c><00:09:41.940><c> army</c><00:09:42.120><c> of</c><00:09:42.299><c> Israel,</c>

00:09:43.820 --> 00:09:46.779
when<00:09:43.960><c> they</c><00:09:44.179><c> saw</c><00:09:44.340><c> Goliath</c><00:09:44.659><c> step</c><00:09:44.899><c> forward,</c><00:09:45.320><c> they</c><00:09:45.440><c> were</c><00:09:45.679><c> sure</c><00:09:45.860><c> glad</c><00:09:46.179><c> that</c><00:09:46.320><c> they</c><00:09:46.460><c> were</c><00:09:46.639><c> in</c>

00:09:46.779 --> 00:09:47.980
this<00:09:47.059><c> place.</c>

00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.340
So<00:09:50.039><c> that's</c><00:09:50.440><c> the</c><00:09:50.620><c> setting</c><00:09:50.840><c> of</c><00:09:51.100><c> which</c><00:09:51.360><c> we</c><00:09:51.700><c> find</c><00:09:51.860><c> ourselves</c><00:09:52.179><c> in</c>

00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:54.419
in<00:09:52.500><c> the</c><00:09:52.559><c> first</c><00:09:52.720><c> statement</c><00:09:52.919><c> of</c><00:09:53.019><c> chapter</c><00:09:53.220><c> 17.</c>

00:09:54.580 --> 00:09:58.379
Now<00:09:55.220><c> you</c><00:09:55.320><c> notice</c><00:09:55.639><c> in</c><00:09:55.740><c> verse</c><00:09:56.019><c> 1</c><00:09:56.460><c> and</c><00:09:56.679><c> 2</c><00:09:57.240><c> that</c><00:09:57.519><c> it</c><00:09:57.620><c> said</c><00:09:57.799><c> that</c><00:09:58.039><c> the</c>

00:09:58.379 --> 00:10:01.399
Philistines<00:09:59.019><c> gathered</c><00:09:59.399><c> themselves</c><00:09:59.940><c> to</c><00:10:00.240><c> battle,</c>

00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:07.139
and<00:10:03.519><c> then</c><00:10:03.720><c> it</c><00:10:03.899><c> said</c><00:10:04.120><c> that</c><00:10:04.440><c> in</c><00:10:04.539><c> verse</c><00:10:04.779><c> 3,</c><00:10:05.379><c> Israel</c><00:10:05.940><c> responded.</c>

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.940
So<00:10:08.460><c> what</c><00:10:08.539><c> we</c><00:10:08.779><c> have</c><00:10:08.960><c> is</c><00:10:09.139><c> that</c><00:10:09.399><c> the</c><00:10:09.620><c> Philistines</c><00:10:09.980><c> move</c><00:10:10.279><c> first,</c>

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:13.620
and<00:10:11.500><c> Israel</c><00:10:12.220><c> responds.</c>

00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:18.179
The<00:10:14.419><c> Philistines</c><00:10:14.960><c> are</c><00:10:15.279><c> the</c><00:10:15.600><c> instigators</c><00:10:16.500><c> in</c><00:10:16.799><c> this</c><00:10:17.139><c> instance.</c>

00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:22.460
Just<00:10:19.179><c> here</c><00:10:19.379><c> on</c><00:10:19.539><c> the</c><00:10:19.620><c> screen,</c><00:10:19.980><c> here</c><00:10:20.100><c> are</c><00:10:20.340><c> three</c><00:10:20.639><c> occasions</c><00:10:21.460><c> of</c>

00:10:22.460 --> 00:10:26.879
which<00:10:22.620><c> the</c><00:10:22.820><c> leader</c><00:10:23.019><c> of</c><00:10:23.200><c> Israel</c><00:10:23.700><c> is</c><00:10:24.440><c> a</c><00:10:24.580><c> reactive</c><00:10:25.580><c> individual.</c>

00:10:28.659 --> 00:10:31.799
Now<00:10:28.799><c> when</c><00:10:28.840><c> we're</c><00:10:29.019><c> dealing</c><00:10:29.299><c> with</c><00:10:29.659><c> sin,</c><00:10:30.580><c> we</c><00:10:30.720><c> don't</c><00:10:30.960><c> want</c><00:10:31.179><c> to</c><00:10:31.399><c> be</c>

00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:33.779
reactive<00:10:32.600><c> individuals.</c>

00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:38.659
Because<00:10:34.919><c> sin</c><00:10:35.240><c> will</c><00:10:35.559><c> encroach</c><00:10:36.600><c> to</c><00:10:37.100><c> a</c><00:10:37.259><c> point</c><00:10:37.419><c> at</c><00:10:37.559><c> which</c><00:10:37.700><c> we're</c><00:10:37.980><c> defenseless,</c>

00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.919
and<00:10:39.120><c> then</c><00:10:39.299><c> we're</c><00:10:39.559><c> in</c><00:10:39.799><c> trouble</c><00:10:40.059><c> because</c><00:10:40.340><c> now</c><00:10:40.659><c> we</c><00:10:40.759><c> have</c><00:10:40.919><c> to</c><00:10:41.100><c> react</c><00:10:41.559><c> to</c>

00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.399
its<00:10:42.279><c> instigation.</c>

00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:48.679
And<00:10:44.139><c> Saul,</c><00:10:44.799><c> the</c><00:10:44.879><c> leader</c><00:10:45.139><c> of</c><00:10:45.299><c> Israel,</c><00:10:46.019><c> was</c><00:10:46.259><c> a</c><00:10:46.320><c> very</c><00:10:47.120><c> reactive</c><00:10:47.980><c> individual.</c>

00:10:49.139 --> 00:10:53.299
So<00:10:49.220><c> for</c><00:10:49.419><c> instance,</c><00:10:50.039><c> in</c><00:10:50.120><c> 1</c><00:10:50.320><c> Samuel</c><00:10:50.539><c> chapter</c><00:10:50.860><c> 13,</c><00:10:52.179><c> he</c><00:10:52.399><c> reacts</c><00:10:53.080><c> to</c>

the<00:10:54.940><c> garrison</c><00:10:55.360><c> in</c><00:10:55.919><c> Geba.</c>

00:10:58.059 --> 00:11:00.519
Then<00:10:58.240><c> in</c><00:10:58.320><c> 1</c><00:10:58.600><c> Samuel</c><00:10:58.860><c> chapter</c><00:10:59.139><c> 13,</c><00:10:59.539><c> a</c><00:10:59.679><c> little</c><00:10:59.779><c> bit</c><00:10:59.940><c> later,</c><00:11:00.340><c> he</c>

00:11:03.500 --> 00:11:06.759
and<00:11:03.620><c> he</c><00:11:03.820><c> offers</c><00:11:04.039><c> a</c><00:11:04.259><c> sacrifice</c><00:11:04.740><c> in</c><00:11:05.000><c> disobedience</c><00:11:05.679><c> to</c><00:11:05.919><c> Samuel.</c>

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:09.940
Let's<00:11:07.720><c> come</c><00:11:07.919><c> to</c><00:11:08.059><c> this</c><00:11:08.240><c> one</c><00:11:08.419><c> in</c><00:11:08.580><c> 1</c><00:11:08.820><c> Samuel</c><00:11:09.059><c> chapter</c><00:11:09.379><c> 14.</c>

00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:13.820
So<00:11:10.000><c> just</c><00:11:10.460><c> flip</c><00:11:10.720><c> back</c><00:11:11.000><c> with</c><00:11:11.179><c> me</c><00:11:11.440><c> to</c><00:11:11.659><c> 1</c><00:11:11.840><c> Samuel</c><00:11:12.100><c> chapter</c><00:11:12.360><c> 14.</c>

00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:18.779
Because<00:11:16.559><c> what</c><00:11:16.679><c> we're</c><00:11:16.779><c> being</c><00:11:16.980><c> told</c><00:11:17.659><c> with</c><00:11:17.940><c> the</c><00:11:18.100><c> battle</c><00:11:18.279><c> of</c><00:11:18.440><c> David</c><00:11:18.639><c> and</c>

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:27.740
But<00:11:24.460><c> that's</c><00:11:24.840><c> so</c><00:11:25.039><c> fitting</c><00:11:25.240><c> because</c><00:11:25.820><c> Saul</c><00:11:26.259><c> was</c><00:11:26.580><c> a</c><00:11:26.820><c> reactive</c><00:11:27.240><c> individual.</c>

00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.139

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.600
And<00:14:03.600><c> it's</c><00:14:03.740><c> only</c><00:14:04.019><c> ever</c><00:14:04.279><c> used</c><00:14:04.600><c> of</c><00:14:04.960><c> Goliath.</c>

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:10.019
And<00:14:06.080><c> the</c><00:14:06.240><c> word</c><00:14:06.480><c> means</c><00:14:07.100><c> a</c><00:14:07.759><c> man</c><00:14:08.460><c> of</c><00:14:09.000><c> spaces.</c>

00:14:11.299 --> 00:14:14.460
The<00:14:11.399><c> word</c><00:14:11.659><c> champion</c><00:14:12.100><c> means</c><00:14:12.500><c> a</c><00:14:12.820><c> man</c><00:14:13.139><c> of</c><00:14:13.480><c> spaces.</c>

00:14:15.059 --> 00:14:18.799
What<00:14:15.200><c> that</c><00:14:15.419><c> tells</c><00:14:15.679><c> us</c><00:14:15.960><c> is</c><00:14:16.139><c> that</c><00:14:16.320><c> this</c><00:14:16.740><c> man</c><00:14:17.179><c> was</c><00:14:17.519><c> a</c><00:14:17.820><c> trained</c><00:14:18.320><c> fighter.</c>

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.240

00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.840
When<00:14:20.639><c> the</c><00:14:20.820><c> battles</c><00:14:21.259><c> came,</c><00:14:23.019><c> he</c><00:14:23.200><c> would</c><00:14:23.340><c> go</c><00:14:23.580><c> out</c><00:14:23.799><c> in</c><00:14:24.059><c> between</c><00:14:24.519><c> the</c>

00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:31.620
and<00:14:27.960><c> he</c><00:14:28.159><c> would</c><00:14:28.639><c> put</c><00:14:29.000><c> forth</c><00:14:29.519><c> his</c><00:14:30.000><c> invitation</c><00:14:30.539><c> to</c><00:14:30.740><c> come</c><00:14:30.899><c> and</c><00:14:31.080><c> fight</c><00:14:31.200><c> him</c>

00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:36.320
And<00:14:32.799><c> it's</c><00:14:33.960><c> interesting</c><00:14:34.299><c> because</c><00:14:34.539><c> it's</c><00:14:34.759><c> only</c><00:14:35.100><c> ever</c><00:14:35.399><c> used</c><00:14:35.679><c> of</c><00:14:35.960><c> Goliath.</c>

00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:40.799
So<00:14:36.500><c> you</c><00:14:36.559><c> might</c><00:14:36.779><c> say</c><00:14:37.059><c> that</c><00:14:37.279><c> Goliath</c><00:14:38.179><c> is</c><00:14:38.700><c> in</c><00:14:38.879><c> a</c><00:14:39.200><c> league</c><00:14:39.539><c> of</c><00:14:39.799><c> his</c><00:14:39.940><c> own.</c>

00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.620

00:14:50.340 --> 00:14:52.139
And<00:14:50.580><c> Goliath</c><00:14:50.879><c> knows</c><00:14:51.120><c> that.</c>

00:14:53.659 --> 00:14:56.799
He<00:14:54.019><c> knows</c><00:14:54.600><c> that</c><00:14:54.940><c> there's</c><00:14:55.200><c> no</c><00:14:55.340><c> one</c><00:14:55.440><c> else</c><00:14:55.700><c> like</c><00:14:55.940><c> him.</c>

00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.179
Now<00:14:59.580><c> here's</c><00:14:59.740><c> what</c><00:14:59.879><c> we're</c><00:14:59.980><c> told</c><00:15:00.179><c> continuing</c><00:15:00.539><c> in</c><00:15:00.700><c> verse</c><00:15:00.879><c> 4.</c>

So<00:21:17.500><c> Goliath's</c><00:21:17.960><c> little</c><00:21:18.259><c> thoughts</c><00:21:18.759><c> are</c><00:21:19.420><c> fleshly</c><00:21:20.019><c> in</c><00:21:20.240><c> nature.</c>

00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:24.519
We<00:21:21.940><c> have</c><00:21:22.380><c> the</c><00:21:22.720><c> second</c><00:21:22.940><c> piece</c><00:21:23.339><c> of</c><00:21:23.579><c> armor</c><00:21:23.720><c> which</c><00:21:23.900><c> is</c><00:21:24.079><c> his</c><00:21:24.259><c> coat</c>

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:25.079
of<00:21:24.779><c> mail.</c>

00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:27.880
And<00:21:25.559><c> what</c><00:21:25.700><c> we're</c><00:21:25.880><c> told</c><00:21:26.200><c> is</c><00:21:26.400><c> based</c><00:21:26.700><c> on</c><00:21:26.859><c> the</c><00:21:27.059><c> coat</c><00:21:27.259><c> of</c><00:21:27.539><c> mail</c><00:21:27.740><c> that</c>

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.579
is<00:21:27.980><c> about</c><00:21:28.299><c> 125</c><00:21:29.400><c> pounds.</c>

00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.960
Does<00:21:31.519><c> anyone</c><00:21:31.700><c> have</c><00:21:31.859><c> 125</c><00:21:32.500><c> pounds</c><00:21:32.960><c> in</c><00:21:33.099><c> the</c><00:21:33.240><c> room?</c>

00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:35.359
Okay.

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:37.859
So<00:21:35.680><c> you</c><00:21:35.819><c> can</c><00:21:35.940><c> go</c><00:21:36.119><c> up</c><00:21:36.319><c> to</c><00:21:36.460><c> that</c><00:21:36.660><c> individual</c><00:21:37.059><c> and</c><00:21:37.339><c> pick</c><00:21:37.460><c> them</c><00:21:37.640><c> up</c>

00:21:37.859 --> 00:21:41.880
later<00:21:38.119><c> and</c><00:21:38.359><c> wear</c><00:21:38.579><c> them</c><00:21:38.779><c> as</c><00:21:38.980><c> a</c><00:21:39.099><c> coat</c><00:21:39.259><c> of</c><00:21:39.480><c> mail</c><00:21:39.660><c> and</c><00:21:39.779><c> that's</c><00:21:40.099><c> 125</c><00:21:40.799><c> pounds.</c>

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:44.319
I'm<00:21:42.640><c> just</c><00:21:42.900><c> kidding.</c><00:21:43.319><c> If</c><00:21:43.440><c> you</c><00:21:43.579><c> don't</c><00:21:43.740><c> want</c><00:21:43.839><c> to</c><00:21:43.940><c> be</c><00:21:44.039><c> picked</c><00:21:44.140><c> up,</c>

00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:45.420
that's<00:21:44.599><c> fine.</c>

00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:48.079
Now<00:21:45.940><c> what</c><00:21:46.140><c> goes,</c><00:21:46.599><c> the</c><00:21:46.740><c> coat</c><00:21:46.839><c> of</c><00:21:46.940><c> mail</c><00:21:47.039><c> goes</c><00:21:47.160><c> on</c><00:21:47.279><c> his</c><00:21:47.579><c> heart.</c>

00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.579
So<00:21:48.619><c> Goliath's</c><00:21:49.359><c> heart,</c><00:21:50.059><c> fleshly</c><00:21:50.960><c> thinking</c><00:21:51.359><c> is</c><00:21:51.720><c> going</c><00:21:51.960><c> on</c><00:21:52.359><c> in</c>

00:21:52.579 --> 00:21:53.079
his<00:21:52.799><c> heart.</c>

00:21:53.579 --> 00:21:57.440
How<00:21:53.700><c> about</c><00:21:54.220><c> number</c><00:21:54.619><c> three,</c><00:21:55.539><c> the</c><00:21:55.839><c> greaves</c><00:21:56.299><c> of</c><00:21:56.680><c> grass,</c><00:21:57.119><c> which</c>

00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.599
the<00:21:57.700><c> greaves</c><00:21:58.079><c> were</c><00:21:58.279><c> upon</c><00:21:58.680><c> his</c><00:21:59.140><c> feet.</c>

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:03.799
And<00:22:00.019><c> so</c><00:22:00.160><c> Goliath</c><00:22:00.680><c> walked</c><00:22:01.440><c> fleshly,</c><00:22:03.000><c> grass.</c>

00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:07.440
And<00:22:04.359><c> so</c><00:22:04.519><c> his</c><00:22:04.700><c> actions</c><00:22:05.299><c> were</c><00:22:05.680><c> nothing</c><00:22:06.079><c> but</c><00:22:06.420><c> fleshly.</c>

00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.619
Now<00:22:08.279><c> we</c><00:22:08.720><c> have</c><00:22:08.980><c> a</c><00:22:09.279><c> sort</c><00:22:09.279><c> of</c><00:22:09.440><c> a</c><00:22:09.579><c> conundrum</c><00:22:09.940><c> with</c><00:22:10.180><c> number</c><00:22:10.519><c> four.</c>

00:22:12.299 --> 00:22:16.119
What<00:22:12.539><c> we're</c><00:22:12.759><c> told</c><00:22:12.940><c> in</c><00:22:13.140><c> the</c><00:22:13.500><c> A</c><00:22:13.720><c>.V.</c><00:22:13.920><c> is</c><00:22:14.099><c> a</c><00:22:14.420><c> target</c><00:22:14.839><c> of</c><00:22:15.200><c> grass.</c>

00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.259
Now<00:22:16.500><c> I</c><00:22:16.599><c> put</c><00:22:16.720><c> up</c><00:22:17.059><c> for</c><00:22:17.240><c> you</c><00:22:17.460><c> a</c><00:22:17.579><c> few</c><00:22:17.779><c> options.</c>

00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:20.279
You<00:22:18.460><c> can</c><00:22:18.680><c> decide</c><00:22:18.980><c> which</c><00:22:19.220><c> one</c><00:22:19.440><c> you</c><00:22:19.619><c> think</c><00:22:19.799><c> it</c><00:22:19.980><c> is.</c>

00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:24.059
The<00:22:20.839><c> target</c><00:22:21.039><c> of</c><00:22:21.279><c> grass</c><00:22:21.599><c> in</c><00:22:21.880><c> the</c><00:22:22.039><c> R</c><00:22:22.240><c>.V.</c><00:22:23.059><c> is</c><00:22:23.500><c> a</c><00:22:23.759><c> dart.</c>

00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:26.859
The<00:22:24.539><c> R</c><00:22:24.680><c>.V.</c><00:22:24.920><c> renders</c><00:22:25.099><c> it</c><00:22:25.259><c> a</c><00:22:25.339><c> javelin.</c>

00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:28.740
They<00:22:27.240><c> go</c><00:22:27.400><c> between</c><00:22:27.599><c> his</c><00:22:27.839><c> shoulders.</c>

00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:31.579
In<00:22:29.200><c> the</c><00:22:29.380><c> A</c><00:22:29.619><c>.V.</c><00:22:29.819><c> it's</c><00:22:30.000><c> a</c><00:22:30.160><c> shield.</c><00:22:30.559><c> It's</c><00:22:30.779><c> the</c><00:22:30.819><c> same</c><00:22:31.039><c> word</c><00:22:31.279><c> shield</c>

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:32.559
in<00:22:31.779><c> verse</c><00:22:31.940><c> 45.</c>

00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:34.279
Take<00:22:33.299><c> it</c><00:22:33.460><c> for</c><00:22:33.559><c> whatever</c><00:22:33.759><c> it's</c><00:22:33.980><c> worth.</c>

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:39.200
But<00:22:34.779><c> here</c><00:22:34.980><c> is</c><00:22:35.200><c> the</c><00:22:35.319><c> fourth</c><00:22:35.579><c> piece</c><00:22:36.079><c> of</c><00:22:36.519><c> armor</c><00:22:36.759><c> of</c><00:22:36.980><c> which</c><00:22:37.460><c> Goliath</c><00:22:37.900><c> has.</c>

00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:44.839
Now<00:22:40.200><c> number</c><00:22:40.480><c> five,</c><00:22:41.079><c> we're</c><00:22:41.259><c> told</c><00:22:41.420><c> that</c><00:22:41.859><c> he</c><00:22:42.180><c> had</c><00:22:42.579><c> a</c><00:22:43.059><c> weaver's</c><00:22:43.519><c> beam</c><00:22:43.799><c> spear</c><00:22:44.299><c> and</c><00:22:44.599><c> a</c>

00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:46.660
spearhead<00:22:45.299><c> made</c><00:22:45.539><c> of</c><00:22:45.740><c> iron.</c>

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:52.920
Now<00:22:47.400><c> the</c><00:22:47.759><c> staff</c><00:22:48.039><c> was</c><00:22:48.279><c> 17</c><00:22:48.839><c> pounds</c><00:22:49.480><c> and</c><00:22:50.700><c> his</c><00:22:51.039><c> spearhead</c><00:22:51.680><c> was</c><00:22:52.000><c> 15</c><00:22:52.500><c> pounds.</c>

00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.880
Now<00:22:53.539><c> I've</c><00:22:53.799><c> also</c><00:22:54.099><c> brought</c><00:22:54.339><c> with</c><00:22:54.599><c> me</c><00:22:54.980><c> some</c><00:22:55.500><c> weights</c><00:22:55.839><c> here,</c><00:22:56.119><c> these</c><00:22:56.319><c> blue</c><00:22:56.500><c> ones.</c>

00:22:57.180 --> 00:22:58.720
I<00:22:57.339><c> can</c><00:22:57.539><c> assure</c><00:22:57.759><c> you</c><00:22:57.940><c> they're</c><00:22:58.160><c> not</c><00:22:58.380><c> mine.</c>

00:22:59.039 --> 00:22:59.900
They<00:22:59.240><c> are</c><00:22:59.420><c> too</c><00:22:59.640><c> light.</c>

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:05.200
But<00:23:00.839><c> here</c><00:23:01.259><c> are</c><00:23:02.059><c> some</c><00:23:04.220><c> weights</c><00:23:04.519><c> up</c><00:23:04.759><c> here.</c>

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:09.160
If<00:23:05.759><c> you</c><00:23:06.000><c> pick</c><00:23:06.279><c> up</c><00:23:06.700><c> these</c><00:23:07.000><c> three</c><00:23:07.599><c> dumbbells,</c><00:23:08.480><c> if</c><00:23:08.559><c> you</c><00:23:08.680><c> pick</c><00:23:08.819><c> them</c><00:23:09.000><c> all</c>

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:11.099
up,<00:23:09.599><c> that's</c><00:23:09.640><c> 17</c><00:23:10.119><c> pounds.</c>

00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.099
If<00:23:11.720><c> you</c><00:23:11.920><c> pick</c><00:23:12.099><c> up</c><00:23:12.299><c> the</c><00:23:12.500><c> two</c><00:23:12.779><c> biggest</c><00:23:13.079><c> ones,</c><00:23:13.339><c> that's</c><00:23:13.640><c> 15</c><00:23:14.099><c> pounds.</c>

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.460
So<00:23:15.359><c> that</c><00:23:15.359><c> gives</c><00:23:15.500><c> you</c><00:23:15.700><c> a</c><00:23:15.799><c> good</c><00:23:16.119><c> idea</c><00:23:16.779><c> of</c><00:23:17.000><c> the</c><00:23:17.180><c> weight</c><00:23:17.299><c> of</c><00:23:17.480><c> the</c><00:23:17.660><c> spear</c><00:23:17.940><c> and</c><00:23:18.099><c> the</c><00:23:18.200><c> weight</c><00:23:18.319><c> of</c>

the<00:23:18.660><c> spearhead.</c>

00:23:19.660 --> 00:23:22.519
So<00:23:19.839><c> not</c><00:23:19.980><c> now,</c><00:23:20.319><c> but</c><00:23:20.680><c> in</c><00:23:20.940><c> the</c><00:23:21.140><c> break,</c><00:23:21.619><c> if</c><00:23:21.700><c> you</c><00:23:22.039><c> wanted</c><00:23:22.180><c> to,</c><00:23:22.440><c> you</c>

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:24.720
could<00:23:22.720><c> come</c><00:23:22.759><c> up,</c><00:23:23.000><c> pick</c><00:23:23.140><c> up</c><00:23:23.539><c> the</c><00:23:24.259><c> weights</c><00:23:24.500><c> there,</c>

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:27.599
and<00:23:24.819><c> you</c><00:23:24.880><c> get</c><00:23:25.019><c> a</c><00:23:25.140><c> good</c><00:23:25.339><c> idea</c><00:23:25.740><c> of</c><00:23:26.000><c> how</c><00:23:26.380><c> heavy</c><00:23:26.799><c> these</c><00:23:27.220><c> objects</c>

00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:28.960
were<00:23:28.140><c> that</c><00:23:28.319><c> Goliath</c><00:23:28.599><c> had.</c>

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:32.640

00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:25.119
So<00:24:23.019><c> when</c><00:24:23.160><c> we</c><00:24:23.200><c> come</c><00:24:23.380><c> to</c><00:24:23.480><c> 1</c><00:24:23.680><c> Samuel</c><00:24:23.920><c> chapter</c><00:24:24.259><c> five,</c><00:24:24.859><c> here's</c><00:24:25.019><c> what</c>

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.519
we<00:24:25.319><c> read,</c><00:24:26.019><c> verse</c><00:24:26.160><c> one.</c>

00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:29.920
The<00:24:27.819><c> Philistines</c><00:24:28.279><c> took</c><00:24:28.500><c> the</c><00:24:28.700><c> Ark</c><00:24:28.819><c> of</c><00:24:29.039><c> God</c><00:24:29.240><c> and</c><00:24:29.500><c> brought</c><00:24:29.720><c> it</c>

from<00:24:30.319><c> Ebenezer</c><00:24:30.980><c> unto</c><00:24:31.500><c> Ashdod.</c>

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:35.700
When<00:24:33.220><c> the</c><00:24:33.380><c> Philistines</c><00:24:33.700><c> took</c><00:24:33.920><c> the</c><00:24:34.079><c> Ark</c><00:24:34.220><c> of</c><00:24:34.420><c> God,</c><00:24:34.640><c> they</c><00:24:34.779><c> brought</c><00:24:35.019><c> it</c><00:24:35.259><c> into</c><00:24:35.440><c> the</c>

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:39.720
and<00:24:37.799><c> set</c><00:24:37.940><c> it</c><00:24:38.279><c> by</c><00:24:38.680><c> Dagon.</c>

00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:42.279
Now<00:24:40.000><c> Dagon's</c><00:24:40.519><c> name</c><00:24:40.720><c> means</c><00:24:41.160><c> fish</c><00:24:41.500><c> god.</c>

00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:48.359
So<00:24:43.180><c> Dagon</c><00:24:43.400><c> had</c><00:24:43.599><c> a</c><00:24:43.779><c> head</c><00:24:44.759><c> of</c><00:24:46.180><c> a</c><00:24:46.740><c> man</c><00:24:47.099><c> and</c><00:24:47.299><c> a</c><00:24:47.440><c> body</c><00:24:47.640><c> of</c><00:24:47.880><c> a</c><00:24:48.039><c> fish,</c>

00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:53.319
but<00:24:48.740><c> his</c><00:24:49.160><c> torso</c><00:24:49.619><c> was</c><00:24:49.900><c> of</c><00:24:50.240><c> overlapping</c><00:24:51.119><c> scales</c><00:24:51.779><c> like</c><00:24:52.200><c> fish.</c>

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:55.700
His<00:24:54.180><c> name</c><00:24:54.440><c> Dagon</c><00:24:54.740><c> means</c><00:24:54.980><c> a</c><00:24:55.240><c> fish</c><00:24:55.519><c> god.</c>

00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.279
So<00:24:55.880><c> when</c><00:24:55.940><c> we</c><00:24:56.000><c> come</c><00:24:56.180><c> back</c><00:24:56.319><c> to</c><00:24:56.420><c> 1</c><00:24:56.599><c> Samuel</c><00:24:56.859><c> chapter</c><00:24:57.119><c> 17,</c>

00:24:58.420 --> 00:25:01.299
what<00:24:58.539><c> we're</c><00:24:58.599><c> being</c><00:24:58.839><c> told</c><00:24:59.019><c> is</c><00:24:59.200><c> that</c><00:24:59.299><c> as</c><00:24:59.559><c> Goliath</c><00:24:59.859><c> parades</c><00:25:00.440><c> himself</c><00:25:00.920><c> out</c>

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:03.599
into<00:25:01.759><c> the</c><00:25:02.259><c> place</c><00:25:02.420><c> of</c><00:25:02.720><c> spaces,</c>

00:25:03.619 --> 00:25:08.339
he's<00:25:03.980><c> actually</c><00:25:04.519><c> wearing</c><00:25:04.900><c> a</c><00:25:05.200><c> big</c><00:25:05.599><c> coat</c><00:25:05.799><c> of</c><00:25:06.059><c> mail</c><00:25:06.240><c> with</c><00:25:06.640><c> overlapping</c><00:25:07.119><c> plates.</c>

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:13.359
So<00:25:09.579><c> this</c><00:25:09.779><c> isn't</c><00:25:09.980><c> just</c><00:25:10.259><c> Goliath</c><00:25:11.039><c> stepping</c><00:25:11.380><c> forward</c><00:25:11.859><c> to</c><00:25:12.099><c> challenge</c><00:25:12.539><c> the</c><00:25:12.759><c> armies</c><00:25:12.920><c> of</c><00:25:13.099><c> Israel,</c>

00:25:19.420 --> 00:25:21.200
And<00:25:19.559><c> as</c><00:25:19.680><c> we're</c><00:25:19.779><c> going</c><00:25:19.839><c> to</c><00:25:19.960><c> see,</c><00:25:20.140><c> this</c><00:25:20.259><c> is</c><00:25:20.380><c> going</c><00:25:20.460><c> to</c><00:25:20.519><c> be</c><00:25:20.660><c> a</c><00:25:20.779><c> battle</c><00:25:20.980><c> not</c>

more<00:25:25.799><c> powerful.</c>

00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.220
So<00:25:28.839><c> when</c><00:25:28.960><c> he</c><00:25:29.119><c> says</c><00:25:29.140><c> he</c><00:25:29.279><c> had</c><00:25:29.440><c> a</c><00:25:29.500><c> coat</c><00:25:29.599><c> of</c><00:25:29.759><c> mail,</c><00:25:30.259><c> he's</c><00:25:30.359><c> actually</c><00:25:30.680><c> wearing,</c>

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:41.359
In<00:25:38.980><c> verse</c><00:25:39.140><c> 7,</c><00:25:40.000><c> he</c><00:25:40.140><c> says</c><00:25:40.140><c> the</c><00:25:40.299><c> staff</c><00:25:40.519><c> of</c><00:25:40.720><c> his</c><00:25:40.839><c> spear</c><00:25:40.940><c> was</c><00:25:41.099><c> like</c><00:25:41.259><c> a</c>

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:50.220
Now<00:25:47.859><c> we</c><00:25:48.000><c> think</c><00:25:48.160><c> about</c><00:25:48.420><c> it,</c><00:25:48.980><c> what's</c><00:25:49.220><c> the</c><00:25:49.259><c> big</c><00:25:49.400><c> deal?</c><00:25:50.019><c> It's</c>

I'll<00:25:55.599><c> go</c><00:25:55.880><c> slowly.</c>

00:25:56.579 --> 00:26:00.019
I<00:25:56.680><c> want</c><00:25:56.799><c> to</c><00:25:56.880><c> give</c><00:25:56.980><c> you</c><00:25:57.140><c> three</c><00:25:57.880><c> dates</c><00:25:58.420><c> of</c><00:25:58.839><c> the</c><00:25:59.140><c> manufacturing</c>

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:02.200
ages<00:26:00.740><c> of</c><00:26:01.140><c> the</c><00:26:01.339><c> earth,</c><00:26:01.759><c> okay?</c>

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:06.440
It<00:26:02.720><c> has</c><00:26:03.220><c> a</c><00:26:03.380><c> pretty</c><00:26:03.559><c> important</c><00:26:04.099><c> import</c><00:26:04.559><c> into</c><00:26:05.099><c> why</c><00:26:05.480><c> it's</c><00:26:05.619><c> significant</c><00:26:06.079><c> that</c>

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:07.039
Goliath<00:26:06.640><c> had</c><00:26:06.779><c> armor.</c>

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.099
So<00:26:07.220><c> here</c><00:26:07.380><c> are</c><00:26:07.460><c> the</c><00:26:07.599><c> three</c><00:26:07.759><c> dates.</c>

00:26:08.579 --> 00:26:17.319
The<00:26:08.880><c> stone</c><00:26:09.299><c> age</c><00:26:09.819><c> was</c><00:26:11.779><c> from</c><00:26:12.500><c> 4000</c><00:26:13.299><c> to</c><00:26:14.680><c> 3200</c><00:26:16.460><c> BC.</c>

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:23.240
So<00:26:17.680><c> the</c><00:26:17.900><c> stone</c><00:26:18.180><c> age</c><00:26:18.640><c> was</c><00:26:18.900><c> from</c><00:26:19.440><c> 4000</c><00:26:20.119><c> to</c><00:26:21.099><c> 3200</c><00:26:21.940><c> BC.</c>

00:26:24.339 --> 00:26:28.880
The<00:26:24.599><c> second</c><00:26:24.920><c> age</c><00:26:25.339><c> is</c><00:26:25.619><c> the</c><00:26:25.940><c> bronze</c><00:26:26.339><c> age,</c><00:26:28.119><c> and</c><00:26:28.240><c> the</c><00:26:28.380><c> bronze</c><00:26:28.660><c> age</c>

00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:33.859
was<00:26:29.079><c> from</c><00:26:29.640><c> 3200</c><00:26:30.980><c> to</c><00:26:31.700><c> 1200</c><00:26:32.559><c> BC.</c>

00:26:33.859 --> 00:26:39.140
So<00:26:34.319><c> the</c><00:26:34.440><c> bronze</c><00:26:34.759><c> age</c><00:26:35.000><c> was</c><00:26:35.160><c> from</c><00:26:35.579><c> 3200</c><00:26:36.180><c> to</c><00:26:36.799><c> 1200</c><00:26:37.779><c> BC.</c>

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:47.960
And<00:26:40.799><c> the</c><00:26:41.039><c> iron</c><00:26:41.279><c> age,</c><00:26:42.859><c> the</c><00:26:43.220><c> iron</c><00:26:43.480><c> age</c><00:26:43.680><c> was</c><00:26:43.839><c> from</c><00:26:44.420><c> 1200</c><00:26:45.079><c> to</c><00:26:45.940><c> 500</c><00:26:46.700><c> BC.</c>

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.759
So<00:26:48.400><c> the</c><00:26:48.660><c> iron</c><00:26:48.940><c> age</c><00:26:49.160><c> was</c><00:26:49.319><c> from</c><00:26:49.740><c> 1200</c><00:26:50.259><c> to</c><00:26:50.720><c> 500</c><00:26:51.640><c> BC.</c>

00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:55.119
So<00:26:53.759><c> why</c><00:26:53.960><c> is</c><00:26:54.059><c> that</c><00:26:54.099><c> significant?</c>

00:26:56.900 --> 00:27:03.220
Because<00:26:57.500><c> iron</c><00:26:57.900><c> has</c><00:26:58.119><c> only</c><00:26:58.460><c> been</c><00:26:58.900><c> in</c><00:26:59.660><c> rapid</c><00:27:00.200><c> production</c><00:27:00.900><c> for</c><00:27:01.660><c> about</c><00:27:01.819><c> a</c><00:27:02.000><c> century.</c>

00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:05.140
That's<00:27:03.960><c> it.</c>

00:27:06.099 --> 00:27:08.819
And<00:27:06.140><c> so</c><00:27:06.220><c> when</c><00:27:06.359><c> he</c><00:27:06.440><c> says</c><00:27:06.559><c> in</c><00:27:06.700><c> verse</c><00:27:06.900><c> seven</c><00:27:07.359><c> that</c><00:27:07.680><c> Goliath</c><00:27:07.960><c> steps</c><00:27:08.259><c> forward,</c>

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:12.720
and<00:27:09.180><c> he's</c><00:27:09.380><c> got</c><00:27:09.480><c> all</c><00:27:09.819><c> this</c><00:27:10.039><c> brass,</c><00:27:10.819><c> but</c><00:27:11.000><c> yet</c><00:27:11.519><c> one</c><00:27:12.160><c> of</c><00:27:12.259><c> his</c><00:27:12.500><c> key</c>

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:17.220
pieces<00:27:13.059><c> of</c><00:27:13.339><c> armor</c><00:27:13.740><c> has</c><00:27:14.500><c> an</c><00:27:14.880><c> iron</c><00:27:15.799><c> spearhead,</c>

00:27:17.900 --> 00:27:19.799
but<00:27:17.980><c> he's</c><00:27:18.140><c> got</c><00:27:18.220><c> cutting</c><00:27:18.440><c> edge</c><00:27:18.680><c> technology.</c>

00:27:20.099 --> 00:27:23.319
And<00:27:20.700><c> you</c><00:27:20.700><c> just</c><00:27:21.420><c> see</c><00:27:21.599><c> the</c><00:27:21.980><c> men</c><00:27:22.200><c> of</c><00:27:22.299><c> Israel,</c><00:27:22.960><c> they're</c><00:27:23.000><c> watching</c>

00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.059
Goliath<00:27:23.619><c> step</c><00:27:23.880><c> out,</c><00:27:24.400><c> like,</c><00:27:24.519><c> okay,</c><00:27:24.880><c> brass,</c><00:27:25.180><c> brass.</c>

00:27:28.299 --> 00:27:29.519
That's<00:27:28.779><c> iron.</c>

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:33.660
I've<00:27:30.920><c> heard</c><00:27:31.039><c> of</c><00:27:31.160><c> it,</c><00:27:31.259><c> I've</c><00:27:31.420><c> never</c><00:27:31.660><c> seen</c><00:27:31.900><c> it,</c><00:27:32.180><c> but</c><00:27:32.279><c> he's</c><00:27:32.500><c> got</c><00:27:32.660><c> iron.</c>

00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:39.339
You<00:27:34.559><c> can</c><00:27:34.660><c> just</c><00:27:34.759><c> imagine</c><00:27:35.140><c> Israel</c><00:27:35.440><c> thinking,</c><00:27:36.900><c> whoa,</c><00:27:38.799><c> this</c><00:27:38.940><c> guy's</c><00:27:39.220><c> got</c>

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:42.319
brass,<00:27:39.839><c> but</c><00:27:39.980><c> he's</c><00:27:40.319><c> got</c><00:27:40.519><c> cutting</c><00:27:40.859><c> edge</c><00:27:41.200><c> technology.</c>

00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.920
How<00:27:43.339><c> can</c><00:27:43.700><c> we</c><00:27:44.000><c> defeat</c><00:27:44.519><c> iron?</c>

00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:49.599
And<00:27:47.460><c> so</c><00:27:47.700><c> what</c><00:27:47.859><c> we're</c><00:27:47.960><c> being</c><00:27:48.180><c> told</c><00:27:48.480><c> is</c><00:27:48.680><c> that</c><00:27:48.920><c> Goliath</c><00:27:49.180><c> has,</c><00:27:49.579><c> you</c>

00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:51.819

00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.420
the<00:27:56.720><c> iron</c><00:27:57.140><c> age,</c><00:27:57.539><c> which</c><00:27:57.680><c> has</c><00:27:57.920><c> only</c><00:27:58.500><c> just</c><00:27:59.339><c> begun.</c>

00:28:02.980 --> 00:28:04.740
Now<00:28:03.140><c> verse</c><00:28:03.380><c> eight.</c>

00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:11.039
Goliath<00:28:06.279><c> steps</c><00:28:06.680><c> out</c><00:28:07.319><c> into</c><00:28:08.579><c> the</c><00:28:08.859><c> place</c><00:28:09.000><c> of</c><00:28:09.279><c> spaces,</c><00:28:10.359><c> and</c><00:28:10.779><c> here's</c><00:28:10.900><c> what</c>

00:28:15.420 --> 00:28:18.799
Says<00:28:15.740><c> he</c><00:28:15.980><c> stood</c><00:28:16.460><c> and</c><00:28:17.059><c> cried</c><00:28:17.460><c> unto</c><00:28:17.779><c> the</c><00:28:17.980><c> armies</c><00:28:18.160><c> of</c><00:28:18.359><c> Israel</c><00:28:18.599><c> and</c>

00:28:23.220 --> 00:28:26.440

00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:31.180
You<00:28:30.019><c> see</c><00:28:30.279><c> what</c><00:28:30.500><c> Goliath</c><00:28:30.839><c> is</c><00:28:31.000><c> saying?</c>

00:28:31.579 --> 00:28:36.200
He's<00:28:31.839><c> not</c><00:28:31.980><c> whispering,</c><00:28:33.420><c> he's</c><00:28:33.839><c> screaming</c><00:28:34.299><c> at</c><00:28:34.759><c> the</c><00:28:34.900><c> men</c><00:28:35.039><c> of</c><00:28:35.319><c> Israel.</c>

Two<00:28:40.579><c> things.</c>

as<00:34:13.940><c> Exodus</c><00:34:14.219><c> 29</c><00:34:14.800><c> and</c><00:34:14.960><c> verse</c><00:34:15.159><c> 39</c><00:34:15.639><c> said,</c>

00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:17.800
Israel<00:34:16.500><c> was</c><00:34:16.679><c> to</c><00:34:16.860><c> offer</c><00:34:17.059><c> their</c><00:34:17.219><c> morning</c><00:34:17.539><c> sacrifices</c>

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:26.599
Maybe<00:34:24.780><c> their</c><00:34:24.940><c> prayer</c><00:34:25.119><c> went</c><00:34:25.320><c> a</c><00:34:25.440><c> little</c><00:34:25.539><c> bit</c><00:34:25.679><c> like</c><00:34:25.840><c> this.</c>

00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:33.139
Yahweh,<00:34:28.780><c> will</c><00:34:28.820><c> you</c><00:34:29.320><c> send</c><00:34:29.639><c> someone</c><00:34:30.119><c> to</c><00:34:30.519><c> fight</c><00:34:31.340><c> Goliath?</c>

00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:35.380
Evening<00:34:35.119><c> comes.</c>

00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:40.699
Yahweh,<00:34:37.139><c> will</c><00:34:37.179><c> you</c><00:34:37.400><c> send</c><00:34:37.619><c> someone</c><00:34:38.000><c> to</c><00:34:38.199><c> fight</c><00:34:38.480><c> Goliath?</c>

00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:41.900
The<00:34:40.840><c> next</c><00:34:41.139><c> day.</c>

00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:45.880
Yahweh,<00:34:44.519><c> someone</c><00:34:44.840><c> please?</c>

00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:46.800
The<00:34:46.260><c> next</c><00:34:46.440><c> evening.</c>

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:50.039
Yahweh,<00:34:49.019><c> are</c><00:34:49.119><c> you</c><00:34:49.239><c> listening?</c>

00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:51.440
Forty<00:34:50.559><c> days.</c>

00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:55.519
Forty<00:34:53.460><c> days,</c><00:34:53.920><c> and</c><00:34:54.000><c> the</c><00:34:54.019><c> men</c><00:34:54.199><c> of</c><00:34:54.300><c> Israel</c><00:34:54.760><c> can</c><00:34:55.099><c> do</c><00:34:55.199><c> nothing</c>

00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:56.960
but<00:34:55.840><c> stand</c><00:34:56.320><c> on</c><00:34:56.519><c> a</c><00:34:56.579><c> mountain,</c>

00:34:57.420 --> 00:35:00.000
because<00:34:57.579><c> they're</c><00:34:57.860><c> petrified</c><00:34:58.440><c> of</c><00:34:58.739><c> that</c><00:34:58.940><c> man.</c>

00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:05.980
It's<00:35:02.320><c> amazing,</c><00:35:02.780><c> because</c><00:35:03.400><c> spiritual</c><00:35:03.880><c> confidence</c><00:35:04.440><c> is</c><00:35:04.719><c> contagious,</c>

00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:10.300
but<00:35:06.699><c> so</c><00:35:06.960><c> is</c><00:35:07.360><c> a</c><00:35:07.619><c> lack</c><00:35:08.059><c> of</c><00:35:08.480><c> spiritual</c><00:35:09.059><c> confidence.</c>

00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:16.380
And<00:35:11.099><c> from</c><00:35:11.380><c> Saul</c><00:35:11.739><c> down,</c><00:35:12.400><c> this</c><00:35:12.519><c> army</c><00:35:12.780><c> of</c><00:35:13.000><c> Israel</c><00:35:13.699><c> was</c><00:35:15.440><c> frozen.</c>

00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:20.619
Now,<00:35:18.460><c> we'll</c><00:35:18.639><c> just</c><00:35:18.840><c> investigate</c><00:35:19.280><c> maybe</c><00:35:19.519><c> one</c><00:35:19.739><c> of</c><00:35:19.880><c> these</c><00:35:20.059><c> two</c><00:35:20.260><c> things,</c>

00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:21.719
but<00:35:20.900><c> we</c><00:35:21.059><c> ask</c><00:35:21.260><c> the</c><00:35:21.420><c> question,</c>

00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:24.440
why<00:35:22.019><c> was</c><00:35:22.239><c> it</c><00:35:22.360><c> that</c><00:35:22.480><c> Goliath</c><00:35:23.019><c> hated</c><00:35:23.440><c> Israel?</c>

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:26.079
This<00:35:25.000><c> is</c><00:35:25.139><c> no</c><00:35:25.280><c> ordinary</c><00:35:25.760><c> enemy.</c>

00:35:26.139 --> 00:35:27.139
He<00:35:26.380><c> hated</c><00:35:26.760><c> Israel.</c>

00:35:27.179 --> 00:35:27.699
Why<00:35:27.400><c> was</c><00:35:27.619><c> it?</c>

00:35:27.699 --> 00:35:29.679
Well,<00:35:27.880><c> I</c><00:35:27.900><c> suggest</c><00:35:28.260><c> to</c><00:35:28.519><c> you</c><00:35:28.519><c> two</c><00:35:28.699><c> reasons.</c>

00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:33.059
We'll<00:35:29.840><c> come</c><00:35:30.000><c> to</c><00:35:30.159><c> the</c><00:35:30.300><c> first</c><00:35:30.519><c> one</c><00:35:30.679><c> in</c><00:35:31.179><c> 1</c><00:35:31.380><c> Samuel</c><00:35:31.639><c> chapter</c><00:35:31.920><c> 5.</c>

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:36.099
I<00:35:33.679><c> think</c><00:35:34.300><c> the</c><00:35:34.679><c> events</c><00:35:34.840><c> in</c><00:35:34.960><c> 1</c><00:35:35.179><c> Samuel</c><00:35:35.400><c> chapter</c><00:35:35.659><c> 5</c>

00:35:36.099 --> 00:35:38.820
would<00:35:36.320><c> make</c><00:35:36.599><c> really</c><00:35:37.139><c> any</c><00:35:37.539><c> enemy</c><00:35:38.119><c> of</c><00:35:38.300><c> Israel</c>

00:35:38.820 --> 00:35:42.099
that<00:35:39.579><c> much</c><00:35:40.159><c> more</c><00:35:41.000><c> an</c><00:35:41.239><c> enemy</c><00:35:41.519><c> of</c><00:35:41.760><c> Israel,</c>

00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:44.300
because<00:35:42.360><c> of</c><00:35:42.500><c> the</c><00:35:42.619><c> events</c><00:35:42.820><c> of</c><00:35:42.960><c> 1</c><00:35:43.179><c> Samuel</c><00:35:43.440><c> chapter</c><00:35:43.739><c> 5.</c>

00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:47.559
You<00:35:44.780><c> see,</c><00:35:44.860><c> what</c><00:35:45.019><c> had</c><00:35:45.159><c> gone</c><00:35:45.360><c> on</c><00:35:45.800><c> in</c><00:35:46.400><c> the</c><00:35:46.500><c> city</c><00:35:46.820><c> of</c><00:35:47.139><c> Gath,</c>

00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:50.599
Goliath's<00:35:48.219><c> hometown,</c><00:35:49.019><c> was</c><00:35:49.239><c> a</c><00:35:49.400><c> catastrophe.</c>

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:54.659
Read<00:35:51.739><c> in</c><00:35:51.820><c> verse</c><00:35:52.019><c> 8</c><00:35:52.219><c> of</c><00:35:52.380><c> 1</c><00:35:52.579><c> Samuel</c><00:35:52.780><c> chapter</c><00:35:53.019><c> 5,</c>

00:35:55.539 --> 00:35:57.019
that<00:35:55.980><c> the</c><00:35:56.179><c> Philistines</c><00:35:56.500><c> sent</c><00:35:56.699><c> therefore,</c>

00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:59.639

00:35:59.860 --> 00:36:00.139
and<00:35:59.860><c> said,</c>

00:36:00.460 --> 00:36:03.000
What<00:36:00.679><c> shall</c><00:36:00.860><c> we</c><00:36:01.119><c> do</c><00:36:01.400><c> with</c><00:36:01.639><c> the</c><00:36:01.840><c> ark</c><00:36:02.059><c> of</c><00:36:02.280><c> the</c><00:36:02.360><c> God</c><00:36:02.500><c> of</c><00:36:02.659><c> Israel?</c>

00:36:03.460 --> 00:36:04.940
And<00:36:03.699><c> they</c><00:36:03.860><c> answered,</c>

00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.340
Let<00:36:05.000><c> the</c><00:36:05.179><c> ark</c><00:36:05.400><c> of</c><00:36:05.539><c> the</c><00:36:05.619><c> God</c><00:36:05.840><c> of</c><00:36:06.000><c> Israel</c><00:36:06.380><c> be</c><00:36:06.719><c> carried</c><00:36:07.039><c> about</c>

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:12.139
And<00:36:08.699><c> they</c><00:36:08.880><c> carried</c><00:36:09.019><c> the</c><00:36:09.159><c> ark</c><00:36:09.360><c> of</c><00:36:09.539><c> God</c><00:36:10.159><c> of</c><00:36:10.440><c> Israel</c><00:36:10.960><c> about</c><00:36:11.639><c> Thither.</c>

00:36:13.380 --> 00:36:14.780
Here<00:36:13.539><c> is</c><00:36:13.659><c> the</c><00:36:13.820><c> effect.</c>

00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:18.000
And<00:36:15.239><c> it</c><00:36:15.360><c> was</c><00:36:15.579><c> so</c><00:36:16.360><c> that</c><00:36:16.800><c> after</c><00:36:17.139><c> they</c><00:36:17.320><c> had</c><00:36:17.500><c> carried</c><00:36:17.639><c> it</c><00:36:17.800><c> about,</c>

00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:21.500
the<00:36:18.519><c> hand</c><00:36:19.059><c> of</c><00:36:19.340><c> the</c><00:36:19.619><c> Lord</c><00:36:20.019><c> was</c><00:36:20.320><c> against</c><00:36:20.860><c> the</c><00:36:21.119><c> city</c>

00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:25.500
The<00:36:24.619><c> words</c><00:36:24.860><c> in</c><00:36:25.059><c> the</c><00:36:25.159><c> Hebrew,</c>

00:36:33.219 --> 00:36:34.940
So<00:36:33.340><c> a</c><00:36:33.480><c> very</c><00:36:33.820><c> great</c><00:36:34.019><c> destruction</c><00:36:34.480><c> in</c><00:36:34.639><c> the</c><00:36:34.780><c> Hebrew</c>

00:36:34.940 --> 00:36:39.679
means<00:36:35.340><c> vehemently</c><00:36:37.079><c> exceeding</c><00:36:38.559><c> destruction.</c>

00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:41.659
And<00:36:40.400><c> God</c><00:36:40.639><c> smote</c><00:36:40.940><c> the</c><00:36:41.079><c> men</c><00:36:41.199><c> of</c><00:36:41.320><c> Israel,</c>

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:43.519
both<00:36:42.039><c> small</c><00:36:42.480><c> and</c><00:36:42.679><c> great,</c>

00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:49.099
So<00:36:47.900><c> in</c><00:36:47.960><c> 1</c><00:36:48.139><c> Samuel</c><00:36:48.360><c> chapter</c><00:36:48.619><c> 5,</c>

00:36:49.099 --> 00:36:51.960
what<00:36:49.239><c> we're</c><00:36:49.440><c> told</c><00:36:49.820><c> is</c><00:36:50.099><c> that</c><00:36:50.219><c> in</c><00:36:50.460><c> Goliath's</c><00:36:50.780><c> hometown,</c>

00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:58.380
Everyone<00:36:57.179><c> was</c><00:36:57.400><c> affected.</c>

00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:00.159
So<00:36:58.599><c> you</c><00:36:58.699><c> can</c><00:36:58.820><c> just</c><00:36:58.920><c> imagine</c><00:36:59.300><c> Goliath,</c>

00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:02.280
maybe<00:37:00.599><c> he</c><00:37:00.760><c> was</c><00:37:00.860><c> just</c><00:37:01.000><c> a</c><00:37:01.019><c> little</c><00:37:01.300><c> toddler,</c>

00:37:06.500 --> 00:37:07.500
What<00:37:06.820><c> happened</c><00:37:07.099><c> here</c><00:37:07.239><c> in</c><00:37:07.340><c> the</c><00:37:07.400><c> city?</c>

00:37:07.619 --> 00:37:08.840
Well,<00:37:07.780><c> I'll</c><00:37:07.920><c> tell</c><00:37:08.159><c> you,</c><00:37:08.460><c> Goliath,</c>

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:11.500
the<00:37:09.519><c> hand</c><00:37:09.820><c> of</c><00:37:10.019><c> God</c><00:37:10.199><c> was</c><00:37:10.400><c> against</c><00:37:10.679><c> us.</c>

00:37:11.780 --> 00:37:14.940
And<00:37:12.019><c> from</c><00:37:12.179><c> this</c><00:37:12.500><c> day,</c><00:37:13.039><c> we</c><00:37:13.400><c> hate</c><00:37:13.739><c> the</c><00:37:14.199><c> God</c><00:37:14.380><c> of</c><00:37:14.519><c> Israel.</c>

00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.739
And<00:37:15.519><c> so</c><00:37:15.599><c> from</c><00:37:15.780><c> that</c><00:37:16.000><c> catastrophe</c><00:37:16.579><c> in</c><00:37:16.920><c> his</c><00:37:17.179><c> hometown,</c>

00:37:17.739 --> 00:37:20.639

00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.380
which<00:37:21.199><c> we</c><00:37:21.360><c> won't</c><00:37:21.519><c> go</c><00:37:21.699><c> to</c><00:37:21.840><c> in</c><00:37:21.960><c> 1</c><00:37:22.139><c> Samuel</c><00:37:22.340><c> chapter</c><00:37:22.579><c> 7,</c>

00:37:24.659 --> 00:37:27.380
Israel<00:37:24.900><c> had</c><00:37:25.280><c> encroached</c><00:37:26.000><c> all</c><00:37:26.699><c> the</c><00:37:26.860><c> way</c>

00:37:33.420 --> 00:37:36.360
And<00:37:33.539><c> so</c><00:37:33.619><c> there</c><00:37:33.780><c> was</c><00:37:33.960><c> a</c><00:37:34.300><c> conquering</c><00:37:34.980><c> near</c><00:37:35.519><c> the</c><00:37:35.699><c> city</c><00:37:35.920><c> of</c><00:37:36.219><c> Gath.</c>

00:37:36.579 --> 00:37:38.380
And<00:37:36.739><c> Israel</c><00:37:36.980><c> had</c><00:37:37.360><c> brought</c><00:37:37.579><c> themselves</c>

00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:43.219
with<00:37:38.880><c> their</c><00:37:39.300><c> army</c><00:37:40.079><c> might</c><00:37:40.519><c> to</c><00:37:40.940><c> the</c><00:37:41.139><c> neighboring</c><00:37:41.400><c> cities</c><00:37:41.940><c> of</c><00:37:42.679><c> Gath.</c>

00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:44.480
So<00:37:43.599><c> here</c><00:37:43.780><c> are</c><00:37:43.820><c> just</c><00:37:44.000><c> two</c><00:37:44.179><c> reasons</c>

00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:54.659

00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:54.719

00:41:33.019 --> 00:41:34.960
He<00:41:33.199><c> should</c><00:41:33.300><c> understand</c><00:41:33.699><c> that</c><00:41:33.900><c> God</c><00:41:34.039><c> will</c><00:41:34.219><c> be</c><00:41:34.519><c> gracious</c>

00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:47.619
I<00:41:44.699><c> look</c><00:41:45.219><c> at</c><00:41:45.440><c> Shema</c><00:41:45.719><c> as</c><00:41:45.860><c> sort</c><00:41:46.099><c> of</c><00:41:46.099><c> the</c><00:41:46.260><c> bodybuilder</c><00:41:46.960><c> in</c><00:41:47.119><c> the</c><00:41:47.280><c> family.</c>

00:41:47.940 --> 00:41:49.480
He's<00:41:48.119><c> the</c><00:41:48.199><c> one</c><00:41:48.300><c> that's</c><00:41:48.539><c> always</c><00:41:48.800><c> lifting</c><00:41:49.039><c> the</c><00:41:49.280><c> weights</c>

Oh<00:41:56.179><c> yeah,</c><00:41:56.760><c> if</c><00:41:56.880><c> there's</c><00:41:57.179><c> a</c><00:41:57.280><c> bully,</c><00:41:57.679><c> I'll</c><00:41:57.920><c> go</c><00:41:58.059><c> fight</c><00:41:58.219><c> him.</c>

So<00:42:04.920><c> here</c><00:42:05.059><c> are</c><00:42:05.159><c> three</c><00:42:05.460><c> individuals</c><00:42:05.900><c> which,</c><00:42:06.659><c> in</c><00:42:06.860><c> this</c><00:42:07.139><c> chapter,</c>

00:42:11.739 --> 00:42:14.019
And<00:42:12.119><c> here's</c><00:42:12.300><c> the</c><00:42:12.440><c> second</c><00:42:12.619><c> thing</c><00:42:12.800><c> that</c><00:42:12.920><c> we</c><00:42:13.079><c> noticed</c><00:42:13.300><c> about</c><00:42:13.619><c> David</c>

00:42:14.019 --> 00:42:15.679

00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:19.920
And<00:42:17.639><c> David</c><00:42:18.119><c> was</c><00:42:18.659><c> the</c><00:42:18.940><c> youngest.</c>

00:42:20.619 --> 00:42:23.139
And<00:42:20.920><c> the</c><00:42:21.099><c> three</c><00:42:21.340><c> elders</c><00:42:21.699><c> followed</c><00:42:22.800><c> Saul.</c>

00:42:23.340 --> 00:42:24.579
And<00:42:23.480><c> notice</c><00:42:23.659><c> that,</c><00:42:23.880><c> second</c><00:42:24.119><c> time,</c>

00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:26.260
here<00:42:24.920><c> are</c><00:42:25.019><c> three</c><00:42:25.239><c> brothers,</c><00:42:25.639><c> these</c><00:42:25.960><c> three,</c>

00:42:26.619 --> 00:42:29.519
and<00:42:26.699><c> they</c><00:42:26.820><c> have</c><00:42:27.019><c> chosen</c><00:42:27.300><c> to</c><00:42:27.619><c> follow</c><00:42:27.960><c> a</c><00:42:28.179><c> leader,</c><00:42:28.380><c> Saul,</c><00:42:29.239><c> who</c>

00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:30.900
just<00:42:29.940><c> stands.</c>

00:42:31.980 --> 00:42:34.539
He's<00:42:32.099><c> not</c><00:42:32.340><c> working,</c><00:42:32.960><c> not</c><00:42:33.119><c> active,</c><00:42:33.599><c> not</c><00:42:33.739><c> walking</c><00:42:34.079><c> in</c><00:42:34.260><c> the</c><00:42:34.400><c> truth.</c>

00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:35.719
He's<00:42:34.860><c> standing</c><00:42:35.119><c> on</c><00:42:35.360><c> a</c><00:42:35.460><c> mountain.</c>

00:42:35.940 --> 00:42:37.559
And<00:42:36.099><c> here</c><00:42:36.159><c> are</c><00:42:36.300><c> these</c><00:42:36.579><c> three</c><00:42:37.099><c> brothers.</c>

00:42:37.900 --> 00:42:41.059
And<00:42:38.000><c> it</c><00:42:38.079><c> says</c><00:42:38.099><c> in</c><00:42:38.179><c> verse</c><00:42:38.360><c> 14</c><00:42:38.739><c> that</c><00:42:38.880><c> David</c><00:42:39.239><c> was</c><00:42:39.940><c> the</c><00:42:40.219><c> youngest.</c>

00:42:41.139 --> 00:42:43.139
I<00:42:41.619><c> had</c><00:42:41.780><c> two</c><00:42:41.920><c> younger</c><00:42:42.159><c> brothers.</c>

00:42:44.260 --> 00:42:46.960
I<00:42:44.539><c> hardly</c><00:42:44.940><c> ever</c><00:42:45.199><c> picked</c><00:42:45.380><c> on</c><00:42:45.579><c> them,</c>

00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:49.480
except<00:42:47.880><c> when</c><00:42:48.179><c> we</c><00:42:48.300><c> played</c><00:42:48.400><c> street</c><00:42:48.639><c> hockey.</c>

00:42:50.059 --> 00:42:52.460
And<00:42:50.260><c> we</c><00:42:50.380><c> would</c><00:42:50.539><c> get</c><00:42:50.619><c> out</c><00:42:50.719><c> the</c><00:42:50.920><c> sticks</c><00:42:51.119><c> with</c><00:42:51.380><c> the</c><00:42:51.619><c> neighborhood</c><00:42:51.960><c> kids,</c>

00:42:52.500 --> 00:42:54.119
and<00:42:52.659><c> we'd</c><00:42:52.820><c> have</c><00:42:52.880><c> a</c><00:42:53.000><c> big</c><00:42:53.159><c> game.</c>

00:42:54.139 --> 00:42:56.619
And<00:42:54.280><c> my</c><00:42:54.940><c> first</c><00:42:55.199><c> youngest</c><00:42:55.400><c> brother</c><00:42:55.639><c> was</c><00:42:55.880><c> about</c><00:42:56.099><c> a</c><00:42:56.280><c> year</c><00:42:56.400><c> and</c><00:42:56.500><c> a</c>

00:42:56.619 --> 00:42:57.039
half<00:42:56.760><c> younger,</c>

00:42:57.139 --> 00:42:58.480
so<00:42:57.280><c> he</c><00:42:57.420><c> could</c><00:42:57.539><c> keep</c><00:42:57.800><c> up.</c>

00:42:59.380 --> 00:43:02.619
My<00:42:59.719><c> other</c><00:43:00.099><c> youngest</c><00:43:00.440><c> brother</c><00:43:00.780><c> was</c><00:43:01.000><c> seven</c><00:43:01.280><c> years</c><00:43:01.500><c> younger</c><00:43:01.739><c> than</c><00:43:01.900><c> me.</c>

00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:04.780
He<00:43:03.440><c> couldn't</c><00:43:03.659><c> keep</c><00:43:03.920><c> up.</c>

00:43:05.139 --> 00:43:06.920
Because<00:43:05.239><c> what</c><00:43:05.400><c> would</c><00:43:05.599><c> happen</c><00:43:05.860><c> from</c><00:43:06.119><c> time</c><00:43:06.380><c> to</c><00:43:06.519><c> time,</c>

00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:08.880
usually<00:43:07.320><c> about</c><00:43:07.579><c> half</c><00:43:07.840><c> the</c><00:43:08.099><c> time,</c>

00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:10.500
he'd<00:43:09.440><c> get</c><00:43:09.659><c> whacked</c><00:43:09.860><c> in</c><00:43:10.019><c> the</c><00:43:10.119><c> ankle,</c>

00:43:10.900 --> 00:43:12.179
he<00:43:11.000><c> would</c><00:43:11.139><c> drop</c><00:43:11.380><c> his</c><00:43:11.619><c> hockey</c><00:43:11.840><c> stick,</c>

00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:15.280
he<00:43:12.420><c> would</c><00:43:12.599><c> run</c><00:43:12.840><c> home</c><00:43:13.360><c> screaming</c><00:43:13.920><c> to</c><00:43:14.159><c> mom</c><00:43:14.280><c> and</c><00:43:14.420><c> dad.</c>

00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:18.539
I<00:43:16.760><c> know,</c><00:43:17.000><c> because</c><00:43:17.280><c> usually</c><00:43:17.579><c> I</c><00:43:17.739><c> was</c><00:43:17.860><c> the</c><00:43:17.880><c> one</c><00:43:18.019><c> that</c><00:43:18.159><c> whacked</c><00:43:18.320><c> him</c><00:43:18.420><c> in</c>

00:43:18.539 --> 00:43:19.480
the<00:43:18.639><c> ankle.</c>

00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:22.900
You<00:43:20.400><c> see,</c><00:43:20.679><c> what</c><00:43:20.880><c> happens</c><00:43:21.179><c> when</c><00:43:21.340><c> you</c><00:43:21.420><c> have</c><00:43:21.559><c> younger</c><00:43:21.719><c> brothers?</c>

00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:25.719
You<00:43:24.159><c> usually</c><00:43:24.239><c> get</c><00:43:24.460><c> picked</c><00:43:24.619><c> on,</c>

00:43:26.099 --> 00:43:27.739
you<00:43:26.199><c> usually</c><00:43:26.260><c> get</c><00:43:26.460><c> left</c><00:43:26.579><c> out,</c>

00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.119

00:43:30.699 --> 00:43:31.960
Isn't<00:43:30.880><c> that</c><00:43:31.019><c> true?</c>

00:43:32.420 --> 00:43:34.000
I<00:43:32.679><c> don't</c><00:43:32.800><c> know</c><00:43:32.840><c> if</c><00:43:32.920><c> that</c><00:43:33.059><c> happens</c><00:43:33.239><c> with</c><00:43:33.440><c> younger</c><00:43:33.619><c> sisters,</c>

00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:36.440
but<00:43:34.239><c> I</c><00:43:34.420><c> certainly</c><00:43:34.579><c> know</c><00:43:34.780><c> that</c><00:43:34.920><c> happens</c><00:43:35.139><c> with</c><00:43:35.420><c> younger</c><00:43:35.900><c> brothers.</c>

00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:40.139

00:43:42.019 --> 00:43:46.039
Imagine<00:43:42.539><c> if</c><00:43:43.059><c> you</c><00:43:43.280><c> had</c><00:43:43.559><c> seven</c><00:43:44.280><c> older</c><00:43:45.019><c> brothers.</c>

00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:50.280
You'd<00:43:47.539><c> be</c><00:43:47.639><c> lucky</c><00:43:47.820><c> if</c><00:43:47.920><c> you</c><00:43:48.019><c> could</c><00:43:48.159><c> even</c><00:43:48.400><c> get</c><00:43:48.539><c> a</c><00:43:48.760><c> meal</c><00:43:49.059><c> at</c><00:43:49.340><c> the</c><00:43:49.500><c> table.</c>

00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:52.039
And<00:43:50.980><c> that's</c><00:43:51.320><c> David.</c>

00:43:52.539 --> 00:43:54.519

00:44:39.019 --> 00:44:41.719

00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:45.920
But<00:44:45.139><c> you</c><00:44:45.239><c> notice</c><00:44:45.380><c> the</c><00:44:45.579><c> distinction.</c>

00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:48.659

00:45:06.699 --> 00:45:09.420
Now<00:45:06.900><c> why</c><00:45:07.000><c> do</c><00:45:07.099><c> I</c><00:45:07.199><c> say</c><00:45:07.360><c> that</c><00:45:07.519><c> David</c><00:45:07.659><c> is</c><00:45:07.860><c> humble</c><00:45:08.059><c> in</c><00:45:08.219><c> verse</c><00:45:08.440><c> 15?</c>

00:45:25.300 --> 00:45:26.539
I<00:45:25.500><c> don't</c><00:45:26.000><c> think</c><00:45:26.239><c> so.</c>
