00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:47.900
He<00:02:44.400><c> just</c><00:02:44.659><c> lowered</c><00:02:44.840><c> down</c><00:02:45.159><c> a</c><00:02:45.300><c> bucket</c><00:02:45.500><c> on</c><00:02:45.759><c> a</c><00:02:45.860><c> rope,</c><00:02:46.639><c> took</c><00:02:46.979><c> the</c><00:02:47.199><c> water,</c><00:02:47.780><c> and</c>

00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:49.039
the<00:02:48.039><c> water</c><00:02:48.240><c> was</c><00:02:48.439><c> always</c><00:02:48.719><c> there,</c>

00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.439
because<00:02:49.439><c> it</c><00:02:49.580><c> was</c><00:02:49.759><c> always</c><00:02:50.120><c> flowing</c><00:02:50.319><c> from</c><00:02:50.620><c> Gion.</c>

00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:03.900
It's<00:03:01.319><c> a</c><00:03:01.460><c> jolly</c><00:03:01.979><c> difficult</c><00:03:02.560><c> thing</c><00:03:02.819><c> to</c><00:03:03.060><c> do.</c>

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.060

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.719

00:09:50.169 --> 00:09:53.470

00:10:04.629 --> 00:10:07.389
And<00:10:04.789><c> Asahel</c><00:10:05.809><c> sees</c><00:10:06.250><c> Abner.</c>

00:10:08.269 --> 00:10:11.169

00:10:12.389 --> 00:10:16.490
And<00:10:12.570><c> Abner</c><00:10:12.809><c> thinks,</c><00:10:13.750><c> if</c><00:10:14.029><c> I</c><00:10:14.210><c> could</c><00:10:14.470><c> take</c><00:10:14.769><c> him</c><00:10:15.169><c> and</c><00:10:15.570><c> take</c><00:10:15.830><c> his</c><00:10:16.070><c> armor,</c>

00:10:27.009 --> 00:10:32.149
And<00:10:27.149><c> so</c><00:10:27.269><c> Asahel,</c><00:10:29.090><c> swift</c><00:10:29.429><c> as</c><00:10:29.669><c> a</c><00:10:29.850><c> row,</c><00:10:30.610><c> chases</c><00:10:31.070><c> after</c><00:10:31.830><c> Abner.</c>

00:10:32.549 --> 00:10:34.990
And<00:10:32.750><c> Abner</c><00:10:32.909><c> turns</c><00:10:33.250><c> around</c><00:10:33.529><c> and</c><00:10:33.710><c> sees</c><00:10:33.950><c> him</c><00:10:34.149><c> coming</c><00:10:34.350><c> and</c><00:10:34.509><c> he</c><00:10:34.629><c> says,</c>

00:10:42.590 --> 00:10:45.730

00:12:21.070 --> 00:12:22.809
It<00:12:21.269><c> was</c><00:12:21.529><c> a</c><00:12:21.690><c> fair</c><00:12:21.889><c> fight.</c>

00:12:23.929 --> 00:12:28.809
I<00:12:24.049><c> mean,</c><00:12:24.210><c> you</c><00:12:24.309><c> don't</c><00:12:24.690><c> go</c><00:12:25.009><c> into</c><00:12:25.269><c> war</c><00:12:26.110><c> unless</c><00:12:26.789><c> you</c><00:12:27.049><c> expect</c><00:12:27.769><c> to</c>

00:12:35.250 --> 00:12:37.929
And<00:12:35.529><c> then</c><00:12:35.690><c> the</c><00:12:35.870><c> situation</c><00:12:36.330><c> comes</c><00:12:36.590><c> back</c><00:12:36.850><c> to</c><00:12:37.009><c> Hebron.</c>

He<00:13:12.610><c> trusted</c><00:13:12.970><c> Abner.</c>

00:13:15.809 --> 00:13:22.549

00:13:29.250 --> 00:13:32.269
He's<00:13:29.470><c> gone</c><00:13:29.649><c> to</c><00:13:30.429><c> bring</c><00:13:30.789><c> all</c><00:13:31.049><c> Israel</c><00:13:31.470><c> to</c><00:13:31.690><c> us</c><00:13:31.830><c> in</c><00:13:32.029><c> Hebron.</c>

That's<00:13:43.129><c> what</c><00:13:43.269><c> we</c><00:13:43.490><c> want.</c>

00:13:44.889 --> 00:13:48.250
Joab<00:13:45.210><c> said,</c><00:13:45.490><c> you</c><00:13:45.610><c> trusted</c><00:13:46.070><c> him?</c><00:13:47.029><c> This</c><00:13:47.330><c> man?</c>

Well,<00:13:54.950><c> I</c><00:13:55.309><c> think</c><00:13:55.509><c> this</c><00:13:55.690><c> is</c><00:13:55.870><c> a</c><00:13:55.929><c> lovely</c><00:13:56.269><c> little</c><00:13:56.629><c> touch.</c>

For<00:14:26.720><c> the</c><00:14:26.879><c> blood</c><00:14:27.059><c> of</c><00:14:27.279><c> Asahel,</c><00:14:27.860><c> his</c><00:14:28.139><c> brother.</c>

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:42.299
Legitimate<00:14:41.179><c> death.</c>

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.179
Abner<00:14:43.200><c> did</c><00:14:43.519><c> not</c><00:14:43.779><c> commit</c><00:14:44.059><c> murder.</c>

Abner<00:14:45.659><c> killed</c><00:14:46.059><c> a</c><00:14:46.279><c> man</c><00:14:46.519><c> in</c><00:14:46.960><c> warfare.</c>

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.840
The<00:14:48.279><c> trumpet</c><00:14:48.600><c> had</c><00:14:48.840><c> not</c><00:14:49.080><c> yet</c><00:14:49.299><c> been</c><00:14:49.639><c> blown.</c>

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.259
There<00:14:50.120><c> was</c><00:14:50.299><c> still</c><00:14:50.580><c> war</c><00:14:50.879><c> between</c><00:14:51.259><c> Abner</c><00:14:51.559><c> and</c><00:14:51.860><c> Joab.</c>

00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:54.899
Between<00:14:53.039><c> the</c><00:14:53.200><c> house</c><00:14:53.379><c> of</c><00:14:53.679><c> Saul</c><00:14:53.840><c> and</c><00:14:54.019><c> the</c><00:14:54.039><c> house</c><00:14:54.279><c> of</c><00:14:54.600><c> David.</c>

And<00:14:55.500><c> Asahel</c><00:14:56.100><c> dies.</c>

00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.480
And<00:14:57.960><c> if</c><00:14:58.080><c> he's</c><00:14:58.320><c> not</c><00:14:58.539><c> murder,</c><00:14:59.279><c> it's</c><00:14:59.519><c> death</c><00:14:59.799><c> in</c><00:15:00.080><c> warfare.</c>

00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:08.320
So<00:15:04.220><c> he</c><00:15:04.379><c> waits</c><00:15:04.659><c> for</c><00:15:05.759><c> Abner</c><00:15:06.559><c> to</c><00:15:06.700><c> come</c><00:15:06.899><c> back</c><00:15:07.080><c> into</c><00:15:07.340><c> Hebron.</c>

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:12.000
Oh,<00:15:08.940><c> he's</c><00:15:09.179><c> such</c><00:15:09.360><c> a</c><00:15:10.480><c> violent</c><00:15:11.100><c> man.</c>

00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:15.159
He<00:15:12.279><c> puts</c><00:15:12.519><c> his</c><00:15:12.740><c> arm</c><00:15:12.860><c> around</c><00:15:13.080><c> him,</c><00:15:13.539><c> takes</c><00:15:13.820><c> him</c><00:15:14.039><c> to</c><00:15:14.299><c> speak</c><00:15:14.600><c> quietly,</c>

00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.080

00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:20.519
And<00:15:18.259><c> when</c><00:15:18.379><c> they're</c><00:15:18.659><c> in</c><00:15:18.740><c> the</c><00:15:18.940><c> gate</c><00:15:19.139><c> of</c><00:15:19.379><c> the</c><00:15:19.539><c> city,</c><00:15:20.179><c> out</c><00:15:20.320><c> comes</c>

00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:26.340
But<00:15:24.799><c> why</c><00:15:25.059><c> are</c><00:15:25.200><c> we</c><00:15:25.320><c> giving</c><00:15:25.440><c> that</c><00:15:25.659><c> little</c><00:15:25.960><c> detail?</c>

00:15:26.539 --> 00:15:29.399
And<00:15:26.700><c> the</c><00:15:26.779><c> answer</c><00:15:27.039><c> is</c><00:15:27.279><c> you'll</c><00:15:27.500><c> know</c><00:15:27.620><c> this</c><00:15:27.779><c> because</c><00:15:28.259><c> you're</c><00:15:28.700><c> well</c><00:15:28.940><c> taught</c><00:15:29.179><c> in</c>

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.840
If<00:15:45.840><c> he</c><00:15:46.019><c> killed</c><00:15:46.240><c> him</c><00:15:46.460><c> while</c><00:15:46.639><c> he</c><00:15:46.679><c> was</c><00:15:46.919><c> in</c><00:15:47.100><c> Hebron,</c>
