the<00:00:42.159><c> disaster,</c>

00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.719
the<00:00:43.600><c> civil</c><00:00:43.880><c> war</c><00:00:44.219><c> in</c><00:00:44.439><c> Israel</c><00:00:44.840><c> where</c><00:00:45.020><c> there</c><00:00:45.119><c> were</c><00:00:45.280><c> so</c><00:00:45.500><c> many</c>

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:47.060
lives<00:00:46.039><c> lost.</c>

00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.380
There<00:00:47.579><c> must</c><00:00:47.859><c> be,</c><00:00:48.100><c> of</c><00:00:48.240><c> course,</c><00:00:48.479><c> a</c><00:00:48.640><c> reason</c><00:00:48.880><c> for</c><00:00:49.140><c> that,</c><00:00:49.700><c> and</c><00:00:49.960><c> there</c><00:00:50.119><c> is</c><00:00:50.299><c> a</c>

00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:51.439
reason<00:00:50.719><c> for</c><00:00:51.179><c> that,</c>

00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:55.000
as<00:00:51.539><c> we're</c><00:00:51.799><c> going</c><00:00:51.960><c> to</c><00:00:52.140><c> see</c><00:00:52.240><c> in</c><00:00:52.380><c> our</c><00:00:52.619><c> studies,</c><00:00:52.979><c> God</c><00:00:53.140><c> willing,</c><00:00:54.039><c> today.</c>

00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:58.859
So<00:00:56.140><c> what</c><00:00:56.899><c> about</c><00:00:57.100><c> this</c><00:00:57.420><c> place,</c><00:00:58.039><c> Gibeah?</c>

00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:02.439
Gibeah<00:01:00.159><c> simply</c><00:01:00.500><c> means</c><00:01:01.320><c> hill.</c>

00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.260
The<00:01:03.679><c> name</c><00:01:03.880><c> is</c><00:01:04.099><c> used</c><00:01:04.280><c> 48</c><00:01:04.739><c> times</c><00:01:05.260><c> in</c><00:01:05.439><c> the</c><00:01:05.579><c> Old</c><00:01:05.760><c> Testament.</c>

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.099
The<00:01:06.939><c> first</c><00:01:07.200><c> occurrence</c><00:01:07.620><c> is</c><00:01:07.879><c> in</c><00:01:08.019><c> Joshua</c><00:01:08.400><c> 15,</c><00:01:08.939><c> 57.</c>

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:14.239
It's<00:01:10.459><c> of</c><00:01:10.599><c> a</c><00:01:10.780><c> town</c><00:01:11.140><c> in</c><00:01:11.620><c> southern</c><00:01:11.840><c> Judah,</c><00:01:12.359><c> not</c><00:01:12.719><c> Gibeah</c><00:01:13.200><c> of</c><00:01:13.340><c> Benjamin.</c>

00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:19.579
It<00:01:15.140><c> occurs</c><00:01:15.579><c> 24</c><00:01:16.140><c> times</c><00:01:16.780><c> in</c><00:01:17.099><c> the</c><00:01:17.200><c> story</c><00:01:17.760><c> of</c><00:01:18.000><c> Judges</c><00:01:18.400><c> 19</c><00:01:18.920><c> and</c><00:01:19.060><c> 20</c>

00:01:19.579 --> 00:01:22.359
that<00:01:20.239><c> we've</c><00:01:20.540><c> just</c><00:01:20.799><c> considered</c><00:01:21.099><c> very</c><00:01:21.459><c> briefly.</c>

00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:26.040
So<00:01:22.900><c> we</c><00:01:23.060><c> made</c><00:01:23.239><c> the</c><00:01:23.480><c> point</c><00:01:23.640><c> at</c><00:01:23.859><c> the</c><00:01:24.060><c> outset</c><00:01:24.400><c> of</c><00:01:25.219><c> our</c><00:01:25.379><c> first</c><00:01:25.680><c> study</c>

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.439
that<00:01:26.739><c> if</c><00:01:27.040><c> you</c><00:01:27.400><c> gain</c><00:01:27.579><c> nothing</c><00:01:27.900><c> else</c><00:01:28.480><c> from</c><00:01:28.980><c> what</c><00:01:29.159><c> we</c><00:01:29.400><c> considered,</c>

00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:32.700
hopefully<00:01:31.040><c> you</c><00:01:31.299><c> gain</c><00:01:31.519><c> this.</c>

00:01:32.980 --> 00:01:37.760
Think<00:01:33.180><c> Gibeah,</c><00:01:34.420><c> think</c><00:01:34.659><c> covenants,</c><00:01:36.019><c> vows,</c><00:01:37.000><c> and</c><00:01:37.200><c> oaths.</c>

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:39.659
That's<00:01:38.159><c> the</c><00:01:38.340><c> formula</c><00:01:38.640><c> that</c><00:01:38.819><c> we</c><00:01:38.920><c> want</c><00:01:39.079><c> you</c><00:01:39.219><c> to</c><00:01:39.420><c> remember</c>

00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:43.019
because<00:01:39.980><c> that</c><00:01:40.200><c> will</c><00:01:40.379><c> come</c><00:01:40.579><c> up</c><00:01:40.939><c> over</c><00:01:41.280><c> and</c><00:01:41.439><c> over</c><00:01:41.659><c> again</c><00:01:42.180><c> in</c><00:01:42.739><c> our</c>

00:01:43.019 --> 00:01:44.480
studies<00:01:43.299><c> this</c><00:01:43.599><c> weekend.</c>

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.019
It<00:01:45.180><c> is</c><00:01:45.359><c> mentioned</c><00:01:45.780><c> 12</c><00:01:46.299><c> times</c><00:01:46.920><c> in</c><00:01:47.219><c> the</c><00:01:47.420><c> life</c><00:01:47.780><c> of</c><00:01:48.260><c> Saul.</c>

00:01:49.219 --> 00:01:50.859
Now<00:01:49.480><c> that's</c><00:01:49.739><c> interesting,</c><00:01:50.200><c> isn't</c><00:01:50.319><c> it?</c>

00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:54.680
Because<00:01:51.420><c> 12</c><00:01:51.819><c> happens</c><00:01:52.159><c> to</c><00:01:52.459><c> be</c><00:01:52.700><c> the</c><00:01:52.939><c> number</c><00:01:53.280><c> of</c><00:01:53.579><c> Israel</c><00:01:54.120><c> in</c><00:01:54.519><c> the</c>

00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.060
Word<00:01:54.819><c> of</c><00:01:55.040><c> God.</c>

00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.340
And<00:01:56.400><c> Saul</c><00:01:56.739><c> was</c><00:01:57.019><c> a</c><00:01:57.319><c> microcosm</c><00:01:58.140><c> of</c><00:01:58.519><c> the</c><00:01:58.680><c> nation</c><00:01:59.140><c> of</c><00:01:59.439><c> Israel.</c>

00:02:00.379 --> 00:02:03.260
They<00:02:00.659><c> demanded</c><00:02:01.079><c> a</c><00:02:01.280><c> king,</c><00:02:01.560><c> and</c><00:02:01.799><c> God</c><00:02:02.079><c> gave</c><00:02:02.420><c> them</c><00:02:02.680><c> one</c><00:02:02.819><c> in</c><00:02:02.980><c> their</c>

00:02:03.260 --> 00:02:05.299
own<00:02:03.579><c> likeness.</c>

00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:09.879
So<00:02:06.019><c> Saul</c><00:02:06.579><c> becomes</c><00:02:07.000><c> a</c><00:02:07.340><c> microcosm</c><00:02:08.520><c> of</c><00:02:08.879><c> the</c><00:02:08.979><c> nation.</c>

00:02:10.340 --> 00:02:13.759
The<00:02:10.419><c> Gibeah</c><00:02:10.800><c> of</c><00:02:11.259><c> 2</c><00:02:11.560><c> Samuel</c><00:02:11.900><c> 6,</c><00:02:12.319><c> when</c><00:02:12.500><c> David</c><00:02:12.780><c> brings</c><00:02:13.080><c> the</c><00:02:13.340><c> ark</c><00:02:13.539><c> up,</c>

00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:14.939
shouldn't<00:02:14.020><c> actually</c><00:02:14.400><c> be</c><00:02:14.639><c> a</c><00:02:14.780><c> name.</c>

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.939
It's<00:02:15.259><c> actually</c><00:02:15.620><c> just</c><00:02:15.879><c> a</c><00:02:16.039><c> reference</c><00:02:16.300><c> to</c><00:02:16.620><c> a</c><00:02:16.800><c> hill.</c>

00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:18.699
They<00:02:17.240><c> came</c><00:02:17.500><c> to</c><00:02:17.680><c> the</c><00:02:17.840><c> hill.</c>

00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.419
The<00:02:20.039><c> home</c><00:02:20.460><c> of</c><00:02:20.800><c> one</c><00:02:20.979><c> of</c><00:02:21.180><c> David's</c><00:02:21.580><c> mighty</c><00:02:21.819><c> men,</c><00:02:22.419><c> however,</c>

00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:25.719
was<00:02:22.860><c> this</c><00:02:23.199><c> place,</c><00:02:23.699><c> Gibeah</c><00:02:24.479><c> of</c><00:02:24.840><c> Saul.</c>

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:27.819
His<00:02:26.460><c> name</c><00:02:26.659><c> was</c><00:02:26.879><c> Itaoi.</c>

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.639
The<00:02:29.060><c> phrase</c><00:02:29.340><c> Gibeah</c><00:02:29.800><c> of</c><00:02:29.960><c> Saul</c><00:02:30.199><c> occurs</c><00:02:30.639><c> four</c><00:02:31.000><c> times</c><00:02:31.360><c> in</c><00:02:31.520><c> the</c>

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.599
finds<00:02:39.680><c> its</c><00:02:40.199><c> place</c><00:02:40.520><c> in</c><00:02:40.759><c> the</c><00:02:40.900><c> Word</c><00:02:41.020><c> of</c><00:02:41.240><c> God.</c>

00:02:42.620 --> 00:02:45.659
Gibeah<00:02:42.860><c> of</c><00:02:42.979><c> Benjamin</c><00:02:43.419><c> occurs</c><00:02:43.919><c> five</c><00:02:44.419><c> times</c><00:02:44.780><c> in</c><00:02:44.979><c> those</c><00:02:45.240><c> passages</c>

00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:47.580
that<00:02:45.879><c> you</c><00:02:46.000><c> can</c><00:02:46.219><c> see</c><00:02:46.300><c> on</c><00:02:46.500><c> the</c><00:02:46.740><c> screen.</c>

00:02:47.699 --> 00:02:49.620
And<00:02:47.919><c> Gibeah</c><00:02:48.419><c> of</c><00:02:48.580><c> the</c><00:02:48.740><c> children</c><00:02:49.020><c> of</c><00:02:49.159><c> Benjamin</c>

00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:53.159
is<00:02:50.039><c> that</c><00:02:50.280><c> one</c><00:02:50.460><c> where</c><00:02:50.659><c> the</c><00:02:51.000><c> mighty</c><00:02:51.280><c> man</c><00:02:51.439><c> of</c><00:02:51.680><c> David</c><00:02:51.919><c> comes</c><00:02:52.240><c> from.</c>

00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:57.759
So<00:02:53.819><c> Gibeah</c><00:02:54.400><c> itself</c><00:02:54.960><c> is</c><00:02:55.280><c> in</c><00:02:55.439><c> many</c><00:02:55.699><c> ways</c><00:02:56.099><c> a</c><00:02:56.560><c> microcosm</c><00:02:57.099><c> of</c><00:02:57.300><c> Israel.</c>

00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:02.240
So<00:02:58.300><c> why</c><00:02:58.639><c> wouldn't</c><00:02:59.039><c> their</c><00:02:59.300><c> first</c><00:02:59.659><c> king</c><00:03:00.120><c> come</c><00:03:00.599><c> from</c><00:03:01.060><c> that</c><00:03:01.319><c> place?</c>

00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.979
So<00:03:02.599><c> there</c><00:03:02.719><c> was</c><00:03:02.960><c> design</c><00:03:03.580><c> by</c><00:03:04.080><c> Yahweh</c><00:03:04.479><c> in</c><00:03:04.780><c> these</c><00:03:05.039><c> events.</c>

00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:09.460
Now,<00:03:06.699><c> I</c><00:03:06.780><c> want</c><00:03:06.919><c> you</c><00:03:07.039><c> to</c><00:03:07.159><c> come</c><00:03:07.379><c> to</c><00:03:07.580><c> 1</c><00:03:07.819><c> Samuel</c><00:03:08.199><c> 8,</c>

00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.900
the<00:03:09.780><c> preceding</c><00:03:10.199><c> chapter</c><00:03:10.520><c> to</c><00:03:10.879><c> that</c><00:03:11.099><c> which</c><00:03:11.300><c> our</c><00:03:11.479><c> brother</c><00:03:11.699><c> Tim</c>

read<00:03:12.139><c> for</c><00:03:12.400><c> us.</c>

00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.620
And<00:03:13.599><c> this</c><00:03:13.719><c> is</c><00:03:13.879><c> the</c><00:03:14.099><c> sad</c><00:03:14.400><c> story</c><00:03:14.979><c> of</c><00:03:15.180><c> the</c><00:03:15.360><c> rejection</c><00:03:15.860><c> of</c><00:03:16.219><c> Yahweh</c>

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:18.699
as<00:03:16.840><c> the</c><00:03:17.099><c> king</c><00:03:17.439><c> of</c><00:03:17.680><c> Israel.</c>

00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:24.240
We<00:03:19.219><c> read</c><00:03:19.400><c> in</c><00:03:19.560><c> verse</c><00:03:19.819><c> 1</c><00:03:20.740><c> that</c><00:03:22.900><c> it</c><00:03:23.060><c> came</c><00:03:23.199><c> to</c><00:03:23.419><c> pass</c><00:03:23.639><c> when</c><00:03:23.879><c> Samuel</c>

00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:24.919
was<00:03:24.599><c> old</c>

00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.740
that<00:03:25.300><c> he</c><00:03:25.439><c> made</c><00:03:25.759><c> his</c><00:03:26.060><c> sons</c><00:03:26.360><c> judges</c><00:03:26.860><c> over</c><00:03:27.280><c> Israel.</c>

00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:31.340
And<00:03:28.080><c> sadly,</c><00:03:29.080><c> they</c><00:03:29.080><c> were</c><00:03:29.340><c> not</c><00:03:29.500><c> of</c><00:03:29.620><c> the</c><00:03:29.840><c> same</c><00:03:30.120><c> character</c><00:03:30.780><c> as</c>

00:03:31.340 --> 00:03:32.520
their<00:03:31.560><c> father.</c>

00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.500
Samuel<00:03:33.060><c> was</c><00:03:33.539><c> a</c><00:03:33.740><c> man</c><00:03:34.020><c> of</c><00:03:34.439><c> integrity.</c>

00:03:35.979 --> 00:03:38.099
He<00:03:36.139><c> was</c><00:03:36.460><c> a</c><00:03:36.800><c> covenant</c><00:03:37.180><c> keeper.</c>

00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:40.319
His<00:03:38.520><c> sons</c><00:03:39.000><c> were</c><00:03:39.439><c> not.</c>

00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.120
They<00:03:40.560><c> were</c><00:03:40.840><c> not</c><00:03:41.199><c> honest</c><00:03:41.680><c> Christadelphians.</c>

00:03:43.180 --> 00:03:45.099
And<00:03:43.400><c> so</c><00:03:43.580><c> the</c><00:03:43.780><c> people</c><00:03:44.120><c> complained</c><00:03:44.680><c> and</c><00:03:44.960><c> said,</c>

00:03:45.300 --> 00:03:47.979
look,<00:03:45.860><c> your</c><00:03:46.060><c> sons</c><00:03:46.300><c> have</c><00:03:46.520><c> botched</c><00:03:46.740><c> this</c><00:03:47.000><c> up.</c>

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.639
And<00:03:48.340><c> they're</c><00:03:48.620><c> not</c><00:03:48.819><c> like</c><00:03:49.060><c> you,</c><00:03:49.400><c> Samuel.</c>

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.819
And<00:03:50.120><c> in</c><00:03:50.259><c> fact,</c><00:03:50.379><c> you're</c><00:03:50.580><c> too</c><00:03:50.860><c> old.</c>

00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:52.900
So<00:03:52.080><c> we</c><00:03:52.300><c> want</c><00:03:52.460><c> a</c><00:03:52.680><c> king.</c>

00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:55.400
Come<00:03:53.500><c> down</c><00:03:53.680><c> to</c><00:03:53.800><c> the</c><00:03:53.860><c> record</c><00:03:54.219><c> of</c><00:03:54.379><c> verse</c><00:03:54.620><c> 6.</c>

00:03:55.979 --> 00:03:58.319
Sorry,<00:03:56.219><c> verse</c><00:03:56.460><c> 5</c><00:03:56.780><c> will</c><00:03:56.919><c> pick</c><00:03:57.099><c> it</c><00:03:57.240><c> up.</c>

00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.639
And<00:03:58.439><c> they</c><00:03:58.560><c> said</c><00:03:58.819><c> unto</c><00:03:59.039><c> him,</c><00:03:59.520><c> Behold,</c><00:03:59.900><c> thou</c><00:04:00.020><c> art</c><00:04:00.259><c> old,</c>

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:02.960
and<00:04:00.900><c> thy</c><00:04:01.180><c> sons</c><00:04:01.479><c> walk</c><00:04:01.780><c> not</c><00:04:02.020><c> in</c><00:04:02.259><c> thy</c><00:04:02.439><c> ways.</c>

00:04:03.419 --> 00:04:07.599
Now<00:04:03.580><c> make</c><00:04:03.819><c> us</c><00:04:04.099><c> a</c><00:04:04.219><c> king</c><00:04:04.360><c> to</c><00:04:04.620><c> judge</c><00:04:04.879><c> us</c><00:04:05.500><c> like</c><00:04:06.080><c> all</c><00:04:06.979><c> the</c><00:04:07.159><c> nations.</c>

00:04:07.939 --> 00:04:09.580
Key<00:04:08.199><c> phrase,</c><00:04:08.580><c> of</c><00:04:08.759><c> course.</c>

00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:13.159
But<00:04:09.699><c> the</c><00:04:09.960><c> thing</c><00:04:10.300><c> displays</c><00:04:11.539><c> Samuel</c><00:04:12.080><c> when</c><00:04:12.659><c> they</c><00:04:13.000><c> said,</c>

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.199
give<00:04:13.340><c> us</c><00:04:13.620><c> a</c><00:04:13.800><c> king</c><00:04:14.000><c> to</c><00:04:14.280><c> judge</c><00:04:14.500><c> us.</c>

00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:17.500
And<00:04:15.780><c> Samuel</c><00:04:16.079><c> prayed</c><00:04:16.600><c> to</c><00:04:16.980><c> his</c><00:04:17.220><c> God.</c>

00:04:17.899 --> 00:04:19.699
He<00:04:18.060><c> laid</c><00:04:18.220><c> it</c><00:04:18.399><c> before</c><00:04:18.639><c> his</c><00:04:18.920><c> God.</c>

00:04:19.860 --> 00:04:22.040
And<00:04:20.060><c> Yahweh</c><00:04:20.279><c> comes</c><00:04:20.560><c> back</c><00:04:20.860><c> to</c><00:04:20.959><c> him</c><00:04:21.120><c> in</c><00:04:21.279><c> verse</c><00:04:21.459><c> 7</c><00:04:21.699><c> and</c><00:04:21.879><c> says,</c>

00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.839
Samuel,<00:04:22.500><c> I</c><00:04:22.620><c> know</c><00:04:22.879><c> you're</c><00:04:23.160><c> upset.</c>

00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.060
But<00:04:24.500><c> I'm</c><00:04:24.680><c> actually</c><00:04:25.000><c> more</c><00:04:25.220><c> upset</c><00:04:25.540><c> than</c><00:04:25.720><c> you.</c>

00:04:27.139 --> 00:04:29.279
Because<00:04:27.360><c> they</c><00:04:27.500><c> haven't</c><00:04:27.740><c> rejected</c><00:04:28.240><c> you.</c>

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.279
They've<00:04:30.500><c> rejected</c><00:04:30.860><c> me,</c><00:04:32.399><c> that</c><00:04:32.560><c> I</c><00:04:32.800><c> should</c><00:04:32.959><c> be</c><00:04:33.160><c> their</c><00:04:33.480><c> king.</c>

00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.740
So<00:04:35.040><c> what</c><00:04:35.160><c> am</c><00:04:35.300><c> I</c><00:04:35.379><c> going</c><00:04:35.540><c> to</c><00:04:35.660><c> do,</c><00:04:35.819><c> Samuel?</c>

00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:41.060
Well,<00:04:37.220><c> I'm</c><00:04:37.279><c> going</c><00:04:37.439><c> to</c><00:04:37.560><c> give</c><00:04:37.660><c> them</c><00:04:37.860><c> a</c><00:04:38.060><c> king</c><00:04:38.459><c> in</c><00:04:39.399><c> their</c><00:04:39.660><c> own</c><00:04:39.920><c> likeness.</c>

00:04:41.339 --> 00:04:44.079
I'm<00:04:41.540><c> going</c><00:04:41.680><c> to</c><00:04:41.819><c> provide</c><00:04:42.120><c> them</c><00:04:42.420><c> a</c><00:04:42.540><c> king</c><00:04:43.040><c> of</c><00:04:43.420><c> the</c><00:04:43.639><c> kind</c><00:04:43.899><c> that</c>

00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:44.740
they<00:04:44.420><c> want,</c>

00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:46.480
like<00:04:45.480><c> the</c><00:04:45.699><c> nations</c><00:04:46.019><c> around.</c>

00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.600
Now<00:04:46.920><c> the</c><00:04:47.040><c> kings</c><00:04:47.360><c> of</c><00:04:47.540><c> the</c><00:04:47.759><c> nations</c><00:04:48.040><c> around</c><00:04:48.379><c> usually</c><00:04:48.980><c> got</c><00:04:49.279><c> their</c>

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:50.459

00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.480
Doesn't<00:07:21.000><c> mean</c><00:07:21.279><c> that,</c><00:07:21.680><c> does</c><00:07:21.800><c> it?</c>

00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:25.100
But<00:07:23.120><c> that's</c><00:07:23.259><c> what</c><00:07:23.399><c> Israel</c><00:07:23.759><c> did</c><00:07:24.019><c> and</c><00:07:24.180><c> they</c><00:07:24.399><c> paid</c><00:07:24.620><c> the</c><00:07:24.879><c> price</c>

00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:25.939
because<00:07:25.420><c> God</c><00:07:25.660><c> said,</c>

00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.879
right,<00:07:27.279><c> you</c><00:07:27.480><c> pushed</c><00:07:27.720><c> aside</c><00:07:28.060><c> Samuel,</c><00:07:29.199><c> but</c><00:07:29.360><c> really,</c><00:07:29.720><c> you</c><00:07:29.839><c> know,</c>

00:07:29.899 --> 00:07:31.600
you<00:07:30.100><c> pushed</c><00:07:30.300><c> aside</c><00:07:30.680><c> me.</c>

00:07:32.180 --> 00:07:35.079
So<00:07:32.420><c> I'm</c><00:07:32.519><c> going</c><00:07:32.620><c> to</c><00:07:32.740><c> give</c><00:07:32.839><c> you</c><00:07:33.040><c> a</c><00:07:33.220><c> king</c><00:07:33.379><c> like</c><00:07:33.620><c> the</c><00:07:33.800><c> one</c><00:07:33.939><c> you</c><00:07:34.259><c> want.</c>

00:07:35.699 --> 00:07:40.319
And<00:07:36.220><c> it</c><00:07:36.360><c> was</c><00:07:36.600><c> to</c><00:07:36.759><c> be</c><00:07:36.899><c> a</c><00:07:37.019><c> disaster</c><00:07:37.540><c> because</c><00:07:38.779><c> of</c><00:07:39.160><c> all</c><00:07:39.620><c> the</c><00:07:39.800><c> men</c><00:07:40.060><c> in</c>

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:53.560
He<00:07:51.319><c> only</c><00:07:51.620><c> ever</c><00:07:51.920><c> kept</c><00:07:52.100><c> one</c><00:07:52.500><c> promise</c><00:07:52.779><c> in</c><00:07:52.959><c> his</c><00:07:53.240><c> life.</c>

00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:55.259
You<00:07:53.819><c> know</c><00:07:53.879><c> what</c><00:07:54.019><c> that</c><00:07:54.259><c> one</c><00:07:54.379><c> was?</c>

00:07:56.100 --> 00:07:58.920
The<00:07:56.379><c> vow</c><00:07:56.639><c> he</c><00:07:56.899><c> made</c><00:07:57.100><c> to</c><00:07:57.300><c> the</c><00:07:57.480><c> witch</c><00:07:57.699><c> of</c><00:07:57.939><c> Endor.</c>

00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:01.779
And<00:07:59.879><c> he</c><00:08:00.000><c> couldn't</c><00:08:00.360><c> break</c><00:08:00.660><c> that</c><00:08:00.879><c> one</c><00:08:01.000><c> because</c><00:08:01.220><c> he</c><00:08:01.319><c> was</c><00:08:01.560><c> dead</c>

00:08:01.779 --> 00:08:03.720
the<00:08:01.920><c> next</c><00:08:02.259><c> day.</c>

00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:07.720
If<00:08:05.139><c> he'd</c><00:08:05.300><c> had</c><00:08:05.519><c> time,</c><00:08:05.819><c> he</c><00:08:05.819><c> might</c><00:08:06.019><c> have</c><00:08:06.180><c> broken</c><00:08:06.379><c> that</c><00:08:06.600><c> one</c><00:08:06.800><c> too.</c>

00:08:08.699 --> 00:08:11.680
Just<00:08:09.160><c> one</c><00:08:09.620><c> vow</c><00:08:10.100><c> and</c><00:08:10.399><c> he</c><00:08:10.560><c> made</c><00:08:10.759><c> many.</c>

00:08:12.180 --> 00:08:15.920
So<00:08:12.360><c> God</c><00:08:12.540><c> says,</c><00:08:13.600><c> right,</c><00:08:14.740><c> the</c><00:08:14.959><c> character</c><00:08:15.220><c> of</c><00:08:15.399><c> the</c><00:08:15.500><c> nation</c><00:08:15.759><c> is</c>

00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:16.399
like<00:08:16.160><c> that,</c>

00:08:16.459 --> 00:08:18.800
so<00:08:16.699><c> here's</c><00:08:17.019><c> a</c><00:08:17.160><c> king</c><00:08:17.259><c> in</c><00:08:17.439><c> your</c><00:08:17.620><c> own</c><00:08:17.819><c> likeness.</c>

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.779
That<00:08:19.160><c> doesn't</c><00:08:19.459><c> mean</c><00:08:19.879><c> he</c><00:08:20.100><c> couldn't</c><00:08:20.339><c> have</c><00:08:20.540><c> made</c><00:08:20.720><c> the</c><00:08:20.980><c> grade.</c>

00:08:22.459 --> 00:08:24.680
He<00:08:22.639><c> had</c><00:08:22.839><c> the</c><00:08:23.040><c> opportunity,</c><00:08:23.500><c> you</c><00:08:23.759><c> watch</c><00:08:24.040><c> and</c><00:08:24.279><c> wait</c><00:08:24.420><c> and</c><00:08:24.600><c> see</c>

00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.540
what<00:08:25.160><c> Samuel</c><00:08:25.540><c> does</c><00:08:25.819><c> for</c><00:08:26.079><c> him.</c>

00:08:26.540 --> 00:08:28.939
You<00:08:27.120><c> see</c><00:08:27.399><c> the</c><00:08:27.540><c> opportunities</c><00:08:28.019><c> that</c><00:08:28.300><c> God</c><00:08:28.480><c> gave</c><00:08:28.740><c> him.</c>

00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.819
You<00:08:29.199><c> see</c><00:08:29.360><c> the</c><00:08:29.519><c> way</c><00:08:29.680><c> God</c><00:08:29.899><c> works</c><00:08:30.199><c> in</c><00:08:30.339><c> his</c><00:08:30.540><c> life.</c>

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.919
You<00:08:31.120><c> see</c><00:08:31.220><c> how</c><00:08:31.319><c> he's</c><00:08:31.620><c> overpowered</c><00:08:32.059><c> by</c><00:08:32.299><c> the</c><00:08:32.559><c> Spirit.</c>

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.279
God's<00:08:33.539><c> saying</c><00:08:33.620><c> to</c><00:08:33.759><c> him,</c><00:08:34.179><c> Saul,</c><00:08:34.419><c> it</c><00:08:34.539><c> could</c><00:08:34.720><c> be</c><00:08:34.960><c> different.</c>

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.059
It<00:08:35.799><c> could</c><00:08:35.980><c> be</c><00:08:36.200><c> different.</c>

00:08:37.659 --> 00:08:41.059
He<00:08:38.100><c> just</c><00:08:38.399><c> didn't</c><00:08:38.779><c> have</c><00:08:39.059><c> the</c><00:08:39.299><c> resolve</c><00:08:39.679><c> to</c><00:08:39.840><c> be</c><00:08:40.080><c> different.</c>

00:08:41.779 --> 00:08:43.460
Always<00:08:42.220><c> remained</c><00:08:42.600><c> the</c><00:08:42.799><c> way</c><00:08:42.940><c> he</c><00:08:43.159><c> was.</c>

00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.440
It's<00:08:44.080><c> just</c><00:08:44.240><c> one</c><00:08:44.320><c> of</c><00:08:44.500><c> the</c><00:08:44.659><c> saddest</c><00:08:44.980><c> stories</c><00:08:45.279><c> in</c><00:08:45.480><c> the</c><00:08:45.659><c> Bible.</c>

00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.000
So<00:08:47.240><c> what</c><00:08:47.379><c> about</c><00:08:47.559><c> this</c><00:08:47.799><c> man's</c><00:08:48.179><c> origins?</c>

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:52.539
Well,<00:08:49.659><c> they're</c><00:08:49.860><c> there</c><00:08:50.019><c> in</c><00:08:50.259><c> 1</c><00:08:50.500><c> Samuel</c><00:08:50.940><c> chapter</c><00:08:51.480><c> 9.</c>

00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.299
And<00:08:53.299><c> we</c><00:08:53.419><c> read</c><00:08:53.539><c> these</c><00:08:53.779><c> words</c><00:08:54.080><c> at</c><00:08:54.240><c> the</c><00:08:54.419><c> beginning</c><00:08:54.600><c> of</c><00:08:54.799><c> the</c><00:08:54.940><c> chapter.</c>

00:08:55.299 --> 00:08:56.659
Now<00:08:55.679><c> there</c><00:08:55.820><c> was</c><00:08:56.059><c> a</c><00:08:56.320><c> man.</c>

00:08:56.779 --> 00:08:59.980
This<00:08:56.940><c> word</c><00:08:57.220><c> man</c><00:08:57.519><c> is</c><00:08:57.779><c> ish,</c><00:08:58.440><c> means</c><00:08:58.600><c> a</c><00:08:58.860><c> great</c><00:08:59.039><c> man.</c>

00:09:00.659 --> 00:09:02.820
There<00:09:00.720><c> was</c><00:09:00.940><c> a</c><00:09:01.080><c> man,</c><00:09:01.460><c> a</c><00:09:01.659><c> great</c><00:09:01.899><c> man</c><00:09:02.139><c> of</c><00:09:02.299><c> Benjamin.</c>

00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.019
Bearing<00:09:03.340><c> in</c><00:09:03.519><c> mind</c><00:09:03.600><c> that</c><00:09:03.720><c> they</c><00:09:03.940><c> started</c><00:09:04.139><c> with</c><00:09:04.360><c> 600,</c><00:09:04.980><c> remember,</c>

00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:10.039
several<00:09:06.639><c> hundred</c><00:09:06.879><c> years</c><00:09:07.159><c> before,</c><00:09:08.299><c> after</c><00:09:08.519><c> the</c><00:09:08.720><c> events</c><00:09:09.000><c> of</c><00:09:09.379><c> Judges</c><00:09:09.700><c> 19</c>

00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:11.379
to<00:09:10.200><c> 21.</c>

00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.120
So<00:09:12.059><c> they've</c><00:09:12.299><c> come</c><00:09:12.500><c> a</c><00:09:12.600><c> long</c><00:09:12.759><c> way.</c>

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.200
This<00:09:13.480><c> tribe's</c><00:09:13.759><c> been</c><00:09:14.059><c> rebuilt</c><00:09:14.519><c> and</c><00:09:15.139><c> there</c><00:09:15.279><c> are</c><00:09:15.440><c> prominent</c><00:09:15.879><c> men.</c>

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:17.559
It's<00:09:16.500><c> a</c><00:09:16.559><c> bit</c><00:09:16.639><c> like</c><00:09:16.820><c> that</c><00:09:16.960><c> in</c><00:09:16.980><c> all</c><00:09:17.179><c> communities.</c>

00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:20.299
There's<00:09:17.840><c> always</c><00:09:18.120><c> going</c><00:09:18.259><c> to</c><00:09:18.360><c> be</c><00:09:18.480><c> men</c><00:09:18.700><c> who</c><00:09:18.899><c> rise</c><00:09:19.120><c> to</c><00:09:19.299><c> the</c><00:09:19.460><c> top.</c>

00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.019
So<00:09:20.840><c> he</c><00:09:21.019><c> becomes</c><00:09:21.279><c> a</c><00:09:21.519><c> great</c><00:09:21.700><c> man</c><00:09:22.220><c> in</c><00:09:22.539><c> Benjamin.</c>

00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:25.519
His<00:09:23.919><c> name</c><00:09:24.220><c> was</c><00:09:24.519><c> Kish.</c>

00:09:25.779 --> 00:09:27.899
Benjamin,<00:09:26.080><c> of</c><00:09:26.259><c> course,</c><00:09:26.720><c> means</c><00:09:26.820><c> the</c><00:09:27.080><c> son</c><00:09:27.220><c> of</c><00:09:27.340><c> the</c><00:09:27.500><c> right</c><00:09:27.759><c> hand.</c>

00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:30.100

Saul<00:11:49.279><c> of</c><00:11:49.480><c> Gibeah.</c>

00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:01.399
And<00:11:57.320><c> there</c><00:11:57.539><c> was</c><00:11:57.740><c> not</c><00:11:57.980><c> among</c><00:11:58.220><c> the</c><00:11:58.440><c> children</c><00:11:58.639><c> of</c><00:11:58.779><c> Israel</c><00:11:59.139><c> a</c><00:11:59.379><c> goodlier</c><00:11:59.740><c> person</c><00:12:00.179><c> than</c><00:12:00.399><c> he.</c>

00:12:07.299 --> 00:12:09.639
So<00:12:07.419><c> that</c><00:12:07.659><c> means</c><00:12:08.320><c> shoulders</c><00:12:09.080><c> and</c><00:12:09.419><c> upwards.</c>

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.460
You're<00:12:15.019><c> finished</c><00:12:15.240><c> about</c><00:12:15.559><c> here.</c>

00:12:16.980 --> 00:12:19.240
So<00:12:17.179><c> he's</c><00:12:17.840><c> seven</c><00:12:18.159><c> foot</c><00:12:18.379><c> something.</c>

00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.700
Do<00:12:19.559><c> you</c><00:12:19.659><c> use</c><00:12:19.919><c> feet</c><00:12:20.100><c> in</c><00:12:20.220><c> this</c><00:12:20.399><c> country?</c>

Or<00:12:21.059><c> meters?</c>

00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.840
Don't<00:12:22.000><c> ask</c><00:12:22.179><c> me</c><00:12:22.259><c> what</c><00:12:22.340><c> it</c><00:12:22.460><c> is</c><00:12:22.580><c> in</c><00:12:22.720><c> meters</c><00:12:22.879><c> anyway.</c>

00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:24.860
I<00:12:24.039><c> couldn't</c><00:12:24.220><c> tell</c><00:12:24.419><c> you.</c>

00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:26.620
He<00:12:25.240><c> was</c><00:12:25.419><c> about</c><00:12:25.700><c> seven</c><00:12:26.039><c> foot</c><00:12:26.279><c> something.</c>

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.259
Like<00:12:26.960><c> a</c><00:12:27.259><c> basketball</c><00:12:27.779><c> player.</c>

00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.740
The<00:12:28.539><c> ones</c><00:12:28.659><c> that</c><00:12:28.759><c> can</c><00:12:28.879><c> just</c><00:12:29.059><c> go</c><00:12:29.419><c> plonk</c><00:12:29.740><c> and</c><00:12:29.860><c> put</c><00:12:29.980><c> it</c><00:12:30.100><c> in</c><00:12:30.220><c> the</c><00:12:30.399><c> basket.</c>

00:12:31.220 --> 00:12:31.919
Like<00:12:31.419><c> that.</c>

00:12:32.139 --> 00:12:33.840
High<00:12:32.620><c> above</c><00:12:33.120><c> all</c><00:12:33.399><c> the</c><00:12:33.539><c> people.</c>

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:36.080
He<00:12:34.259><c> was</c><00:12:34.519><c> obviously</c><00:12:34.960><c> strong.</c>

00:12:36.740 --> 00:12:38.960
And<00:12:36.940><c> he</c><00:12:37.039><c> was</c><00:12:37.519><c> obviously</c><00:12:38.120><c> pretty</c><00:12:38.419><c> good</c><00:12:38.639><c> looking.</c>

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.220
He<00:12:39.519><c> was</c><00:12:39.799><c> just</c><00:12:40.360><c> the</c><00:12:40.519><c> kind</c><00:12:40.940><c> of</c><00:12:41.120><c> man</c><00:12:41.360><c> that</c><00:12:41.559><c> wanted</c><00:12:41.659><c> to</c><00:12:41.820><c> become</c><00:12:42.019><c> a</c>

00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:44.179
king<00:12:42.539><c> of</c><00:12:43.000><c> another</c><00:12:43.200><c> nation.</c>

00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:45.299
Outside<00:12:44.220><c> of</c><00:12:44.419><c> Israel.</c>

00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.340
So<00:12:45.659><c> God</c><00:12:45.879><c> gives</c><00:12:46.139><c> them</c><00:12:46.320><c> one</c><00:12:46.399><c> like</c><00:12:46.740><c> that.</c>

00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.240
You<00:12:47.779><c> know,</c><00:12:48.679><c> there's</c><00:12:48.779><c> an</c><00:12:48.960><c> experience</c><00:12:49.360><c> in</c><00:12:49.500><c> my</c><00:12:49.779><c> life</c><00:12:49.980><c> that</c><00:12:50.139><c> I</c>

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.379
won't<00:12:50.440><c> forget.</c>

00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:53.840
I<00:12:52.100><c> used</c><00:12:52.299><c> to</c><00:12:52.360><c> have</c><00:12:52.460><c> a</c><00:12:52.639><c> very</c><00:12:52.879><c> good</c><00:12:53.059><c> friend</c><00:12:53.240><c> in</c><00:12:53.379><c> the</c><00:12:53.600><c> truth.</c>

00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:57.299
He<00:12:54.279><c> was,</c><00:12:54.659><c> you</c><00:12:54.820><c> know,</c><00:12:55.039><c> ten</c><00:12:55.200><c> or</c><00:12:55.299><c> fifteen</c><00:12:55.639><c> years</c><00:12:55.919><c> younger</c><00:12:56.179><c> than</c><00:12:56.360><c> me.</c>

00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.159
We<00:12:57.620><c> used</c><00:12:57.799><c> to</c><00:12:57.940><c> work</c><00:12:58.200><c> together</c><00:12:58.620><c> in</c><00:12:58.899><c> the</c><00:12:59.080><c> truth.</c>

00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.200
We<00:12:59.320><c> weren't</c><00:12:59.620><c> in</c><00:12:59.899><c> the</c><00:13:00.059><c> same</c><00:13:00.220><c> city</c><00:13:00.480><c> but</c><00:13:00.620><c> we</c><00:13:00.759><c> used</c><00:13:00.919><c> to</c><00:13:01.080><c> work</c><00:13:01.259><c> together.</c>

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.779
And<00:13:02.759><c> then</c><00:13:02.860><c> he</c><00:13:03.019><c> came</c><00:13:03.179><c> and</c><00:13:03.299><c> lived</c><00:13:03.480><c> in</c><00:13:03.620><c> my</c><00:13:03.860><c> city</c><00:13:04.039><c> and</c><00:13:04.159><c> went</c><00:13:04.340><c> to</c><00:13:04.519><c> my</c><00:13:04.700><c> Ecclesiast.</c>

00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:10.220
And<00:13:06.419><c> over</c><00:13:06.799><c> time</c><00:13:07.120><c> he</c><00:13:07.279><c> became</c><00:13:07.679><c> very</c><00:13:08.100><c> ecumenical</c><00:13:08.799><c> in</c><00:13:09.039><c> his</c><00:13:09.220><c> attitude.</c>

00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.419
He<00:13:10.399><c> virtually</c><00:13:10.679><c> turned</c><00:13:10.919><c> out</c><00:13:11.120><c> to</c><00:13:11.240><c> be</c><00:13:11.460><c> a</c><00:13:11.539><c> Pentecostal</c><00:13:12.139><c> Christadelphian.</c>

00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.000
Now<00:13:13.860><c> as</c><00:13:13.980><c> you</c><00:13:14.059><c> can</c><00:13:14.200><c> imagine</c><00:13:14.440><c> our</c><00:13:14.679><c> discussions</c><00:13:15.220><c> were</c><00:13:15.519><c> sometimes</c>

quite<00:13:16.299><c> robust.</c>

00:13:17.940 --> 00:13:23.600
And<00:13:18.059><c> we</c><00:13:18.240><c> would</c><00:13:18.440><c> have</c><00:13:18.620><c> some</c><00:13:19.100><c> pretty</c><00:13:19.940><c> robust</c><00:13:20.600><c> discussions</c><00:13:21.200><c> about</c><00:13:22.019><c> where</c><00:13:22.419><c> things</c><00:13:22.639><c> were</c><00:13:22.879><c> going.</c>

00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:25.659
He's<00:13:24.399><c> about</c><00:13:24.679><c> five</c><00:13:24.919><c> foot</c><00:13:25.080><c> eight.</c>

00:13:26.059 --> 00:13:27.879

00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:32.460
well<00:13:32.019><c> for</c><00:13:32.220><c> him.</c>

00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:35.419
And<00:13:33.179><c> he</c><00:13:33.279><c> looked</c><00:13:33.519><c> up</c><00:13:33.720><c> at</c><00:13:33.899><c> me</c><00:13:33.980><c> and</c><00:13:34.059><c> he</c><00:13:34.220><c> said,</c><00:13:34.779><c> you</c><00:13:34.860><c> know,</c><00:13:35.100><c> you're</c>

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.159
I'm<00:13:39.120><c> only</c><00:13:39.320><c> six</c><00:13:39.559><c> foot</c><00:13:39.740><c> two,</c><00:13:40.100><c> come</c><00:13:40.320><c> on.</c>

00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:47.639
He's<00:13:45.220><c> about</c><00:13:45.460><c> six</c><00:13:45.679><c> foot</c><00:13:45.860><c> nineteen,</c><00:13:46.679><c> you</c><00:13:46.860><c> know.</c>

00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.919
Now<00:13:49.779><c> if</c><00:13:49.899><c> he</c><00:13:50.059><c> was</c><00:13:50.399><c> confronted</c><00:13:50.720><c> by</c><00:13:50.960><c> him</c><00:13:51.059><c> he</c><00:13:51.139><c> would</c><00:13:51.299><c> have</c><00:13:51.399><c> had</c><00:13:51.539><c> someone</c><00:13:51.740><c> to</c>

You<00:13:54.799><c> know</c><00:13:54.899><c> why</c><00:13:55.000><c> that</c><00:13:55.259><c> stuck</c><00:13:55.500><c> with</c><00:13:55.740><c> me?</c>

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.919
I<00:13:57.100><c> mean,</c><00:13:57.139><c> I</c><00:13:57.279><c> didn't</c><00:13:58.059><c> plan</c><00:13:58.740><c> to</c><00:13:58.940><c> be</c><00:13:59.080><c> six</c><00:13:59.320><c> foot</c><00:13:59.539><c> two.</c>

00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:03.679
My<00:14:00.779><c> parents</c><00:14:01.139><c> probably</c><00:14:01.440><c> had</c><00:14:01.519><c> something</c><00:14:01.759><c> to</c><00:14:01.899><c> do</c><00:14:02.019><c> with</c><00:14:02.200><c> that.</c>

00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:06.860
But<00:14:04.779><c> what</c><00:14:05.240><c> does</c><00:14:05.500><c> it</c><00:14:05.779><c> matter?</c>

00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:12.279
Spirituality's<00:14:09.120><c> got</c><00:14:09.440><c> nothing</c><00:14:09.860><c> to</c><00:14:10.159><c> do</c><00:14:10.340><c> with</c><00:14:10.659><c> size</c><00:14:11.240><c> or</c><00:14:11.919><c> height,</c>

00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:12.980
does<00:14:12.600><c> it?</c>

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:19.399
You<00:14:13.299><c> can</c><00:14:13.519><c> be</c><00:14:14.019><c> four</c><00:14:14.379><c> foot</c><00:14:14.679><c> two</c><00:14:15.360><c> and</c><00:14:16.320><c> be</c><00:14:16.639><c> spiritual</c><00:14:17.399><c> and</c><00:14:19.200><c> live</c>

00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:20.539
the<00:14:19.659><c> truth,</c><00:14:20.039><c> can't</c><00:14:20.279><c> you?</c>

00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:22.720
It's<00:14:21.139><c> got</c><00:14:21.440><c> nothing</c><00:14:21.700><c> to</c><00:14:21.879><c> do</c><00:14:22.000><c> with</c><00:14:22.220><c> size.</c>

00:14:23.059 --> 00:14:25.399
But<00:14:23.360><c> Israel</c><00:14:23.840><c> thought</c><00:14:24.139><c> it</c><00:14:24.440><c> did.</c>

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.299
Israel<00:14:26.659><c> wanted</c><00:14:26.960><c> a</c><00:14:27.139><c> king</c><00:14:27.360><c> like</c><00:14:27.759><c> that.</c>

00:14:28.299 --> 00:14:32.899
They<00:14:29.159><c> thought</c><00:14:29.399><c> it</c><00:14:29.480><c> had</c><00:14:29.740><c> to</c><00:14:29.960><c> do</c><00:14:30.200><c> with</c><00:14:30.460><c> prowess,</c><00:14:32.019><c> human</c><00:14:32.240><c> ability</c>

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:35.700
and<00:14:34.600><c> size.</c>

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:38.659
So<00:14:36.320><c> God</c><00:14:36.620><c> says,</c><00:14:37.399><c> that's</c><00:14:37.580><c> what's</c><00:14:37.860><c> in</c><00:14:37.940><c> your</c><00:14:38.220><c> mind?</c>

00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:44.299
Here,<00:14:39.600><c> here's</c><00:14:39.820><c> the</c><00:14:40.000><c> man</c><00:14:40.299><c> for</c><00:14:40.659><c> you,</c><00:14:41.620><c> Saul</c><00:14:41.980><c> of</c><00:14:43.080><c> Gibeah.</c>

00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.860
Was<00:14:45.759><c> his</c><00:14:46.000><c> ancestral</c><00:14:46.399><c> mother</c><00:14:46.879><c> one</c><00:14:47.340><c> of</c><00:14:47.460><c> the</c><00:14:47.620><c> four</c><00:14:47.799><c> hundred</c><00:14:48.120><c> virgins</c><00:14:48.580><c> of</c>

Jabesh<00:14:49.240><c> Gilead,</c><00:14:49.639><c> we</c><00:14:49.919><c> ask?</c>

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.240
Well,<00:14:51.179><c> I</c><00:14:51.299><c> would</c><00:14:51.480><c> suggest</c><00:14:51.820><c> so.</c>

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.720
There's<00:14:52.840><c> a</c><00:14:53.019><c> two</c><00:14:53.240><c> in</c><00:14:53.480><c> three</c><00:14:53.759><c> chance</c><00:14:54.120><c> that</c><00:14:54.299><c> it</c><00:14:54.500><c> is</c><00:14:54.580><c> so.</c>

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.100
And<00:14:54.759><c> I</c><00:14:54.840><c> want</c><00:14:55.039><c> to</c><00:14:55.179><c> prove</c><00:14:55.379><c> that</c><00:14:55.860><c> I</c><00:14:56.080><c> think</c><00:14:56.299><c> there's</c><00:14:56.519><c> no</c><00:14:56.759><c> question</c>

00:14:57.100 --> 00:14:58.100
about<00:14:57.419><c> that.</c>

00:14:58.340 --> 00:14:59.580
The<00:14:58.500><c> scripture</c><00:14:58.759><c> is</c><00:14:58.919><c> pretty</c><00:14:59.179><c> clear.</c>

00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.779
Implicit<00:15:00.539><c> proof</c><00:15:00.919><c> lies</c><00:15:01.279><c> in</c><00:15:01.600><c> 1</c><00:15:01.820><c> Samuel</c><00:15:02.220><c> chapter</c><00:15:02.720><c> 11.</c>

00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:10.019
His<00:15:05.279><c> very</c><00:15:05.700><c> first</c><00:15:06.100><c> act</c><00:15:06.500><c> as</c><00:15:06.840><c> king</c><00:15:07.039><c> of</c><00:15:07.240><c> Israel,</c><00:15:07.940><c> 1</c><00:15:08.179><c> Samuel</c><00:15:08.600><c> chapter</c><00:15:09.019><c> 11.</c>

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.679
Now,<00:15:10.240><c> I</c><00:15:10.299><c> want</c><00:15:10.399><c> you</c><00:15:10.519><c> to</c><00:15:10.720><c> notice</c><00:15:10.879><c> this</c><00:15:11.080><c> is</c><00:15:12.220><c> what</c><00:15:12.879><c> I</c><00:15:13.139><c> really</c><00:15:13.379><c> enjoy</c>

00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:28.600
Then<00:15:23.820><c> Nahash</c><00:15:24.320><c> the</c><00:15:24.519><c> Ammonite</c><00:15:24.919><c> came</c><00:15:25.159><c> up,</c><00:15:25.399><c> verse</c><00:15:25.679><c> 1,</c><00:15:25.940><c> and</c><00:15:26.120><c> encamped</c><00:15:26.480><c> against</c><00:15:26.940><c> Jabesh</c><00:15:27.419><c> Gilead.</c>

00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:34.120
the<00:15:32.679><c> words</c><00:15:32.899><c> in</c><00:15:33.039><c> your</c><00:15:33.200><c> Bible.</c>

00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:38.899

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.559
What<00:15:39.139><c> did</c><00:15:39.299><c> God</c><00:15:39.500><c> said</c><00:15:39.720><c> about</c><00:15:40.000><c> making</c><00:15:40.399><c> covenants</c><00:15:40.799><c> with</c><00:15:41.000><c> Gentile</c>

00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.399
Don't<00:15:44.139><c> make</c><00:15:44.379><c> them.</c>

00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.899
Make<00:15:47.480><c> a</c><00:15:47.919><c> covenant</c><00:15:48.139><c> with</c><00:15:48.379><c> us.</c>

Jabesh<00:15:52.620><c> Gilead.</c>

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.440
You<00:15:53.519><c> know</c><00:15:53.639><c> how</c><00:15:53.820><c> the</c><00:15:53.899><c> name</c><00:15:54.259><c> Gilead</c><00:15:54.899><c> came</c><00:15:55.139><c> into</c><00:15:55.399><c> existence?</c>

00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:57.960
Yes.

00:15:58.299 --> 00:16:03.279
When<00:15:58.500><c> Jacob</c><00:15:58.940><c> left</c><00:15:59.340><c> Haren</c><00:15:59.960><c> and</c><00:16:01.299><c> Rachel</c><00:16:01.679><c> had</c><00:16:02.039><c> stolen</c><00:16:02.379><c> the</c><00:16:02.700><c> terrapim</c><00:16:03.080><c> of</c>

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.820
Jacob<00:16:06.299><c> hurries</c><00:16:06.600><c> off</c><00:16:07.039><c> and</c><00:16:07.320><c> he</c><00:16:07.500><c> gets</c><00:16:07.700><c> to</c><00:16:07.980><c> a</c><00:16:08.179><c> place</c><00:16:08.360><c> that</c><00:16:08.559><c> later</c>

00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:13.980
on<00:16:09.039><c> is</c><00:16:09.340><c> called</c><00:16:09.960><c> Galeed</c><00:16:11.399><c> or</c><00:16:12.399><c> Gilead.</c>

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.399
It<00:16:14.399><c> means</c><00:16:14.720><c> a</c><00:16:14.940><c> heap</c><00:16:15.139><c> of</c><00:16:15.399><c> witness.</c>

00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:17.840
And<00:16:17.139><c> I've</c><00:16:17.320><c> been</c><00:16:17.500><c> there.</c>

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.580
I've<00:16:18.299><c> stood</c><00:16:18.399><c> on</c><00:16:18.639><c> the</c><00:16:18.879><c> mound</c><00:16:19.320><c> of</c><00:16:19.759><c> Jabesh</c><00:16:20.139><c> Gilead</c><00:16:20.419><c> and</c><00:16:20.539><c> we</c><00:16:20.659><c> actually</c><00:16:21.100><c> built</c>

00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:23.059
a<00:16:21.820><c> little</c><00:16:22.139><c> pile,</c>

00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.720
a<00:16:23.720><c> heap</c><00:16:23.899><c> of</c><00:16:24.080><c> witness</c><00:16:24.399><c> just</c><00:16:24.740><c> to</c><00:16:24.980><c> testify</c><00:16:25.399><c> we'd</c><00:16:25.620><c> been</c><00:16:25.820><c> there.</c>

00:16:27.019 --> 00:16:31.360
So<00:16:27.200><c> this</c><00:16:27.539><c> is</c><00:16:27.779><c> a</c><00:16:27.919><c> place</c><00:16:28.419><c> where</c><00:16:29.399><c> covenants</c><00:16:30.019><c> were</c><00:16:30.279><c> made.</c>

00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:35.899
We<00:16:31.940><c> read</c><00:16:32.139><c> in</c><00:16:32.259><c> the</c><00:16:32.399><c> record</c><00:16:32.720><c> of</c><00:16:32.940><c> Genesis</c><00:16:34.019><c> chapter</c><00:16:34.840><c> 31</c><00:16:35.460><c> that</c><00:16:35.679><c> when</c>

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.720
and<00:16:38.039><c> he</c><00:16:38.259><c> searched</c><00:16:38.480><c> all</c><00:16:38.720><c> his</c><00:16:39.059><c> stuff</c><00:16:39.200><c> and</c><00:16:39.340><c> he</c><00:16:39.460><c> couldn't</c><00:16:39.679><c> find</c><00:16:39.919><c> the</c><00:16:40.139><c> terrapim,</c><00:16:40.379><c> he</c><00:16:40.500><c> said,</c>

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.259
well,<00:16:41.559><c> let's</c><00:16:41.860><c> make</c><00:16:42.100><c> a</c><00:16:42.360><c> covenant.</c>

00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:49.360
And<00:16:44.399><c> Jacob</c><00:16:45.000><c> made,</c><00:16:46.000><c> he</c><00:16:46.299><c> swore</c><00:16:46.600><c> an</c><00:16:46.860><c> oath</c><00:16:47.039><c> by</c><00:16:47.559><c> the</c><00:16:48.019><c> fear</c><00:16:48.440><c> of</c><00:16:48.980><c> Isaac</c>

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:55.879
But<00:16:52.940><c> mind</c><00:16:53.240><c> you,</c><00:16:53.600><c> Laban</c><00:16:53.720><c> didn't</c><00:16:53.940><c> actually</c><00:16:54.299><c> make</c><00:16:54.539><c> an</c><00:16:54.860><c> oath</c><00:16:55.139><c> because</c><00:16:55.759><c> he</c>

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:57.340
knew<00:16:55.980><c> he</c><00:16:56.100><c> couldn't</c><00:16:56.299><c> keep</c><00:16:56.539><c> it.</c>

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:59.360
He's<00:16:58.080><c> at</c><00:16:58.179><c> least</c><00:16:58.440><c> honest</c><00:16:58.740><c> in</c><00:16:58.919><c> that</c><00:16:59.080><c> regard.</c>

00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:08.700
So<00:17:02.519><c> Jabesh</c><00:17:03.000><c> Gilead</c><00:17:03.559><c> has</c><00:17:03.919><c> gone</c><00:17:04.200><c> down</c><00:17:04.420><c> in</c><00:17:04.640><c> history</c><00:17:05.059><c> as</c><00:17:05.339><c> being</c><00:17:05.759><c> named</c><00:17:06.440><c> through</c><00:17:07.339><c> the</c><00:17:07.720><c> making</c><00:17:08.140><c> of</c>

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.180
And<00:17:10.099><c> so</c><00:17:10.259><c> we've</c><00:17:10.500><c> got</c><00:17:10.680><c> this</c><00:17:11.000><c> Ammonite</c><00:17:11.339><c> coming</c><00:17:11.579><c> up</c><00:17:11.819><c> and</c><00:17:12.039><c> saying</c>

Look<00:18:58.339><c> what</c><00:18:58.400><c> happens</c><00:18:58.720><c> in</c><00:18:58.900><c> verse</c><00:18:59.119><c> 6.</c>

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.039
And<00:19:00.299><c> the</c><00:19:00.539><c> Spirit</c><00:19:01.019><c> of</c><00:19:01.240><c> God</c><00:19:01.539><c> came</c><00:19:01.819><c> upon</c><00:19:02.279><c> Saul</c><00:19:02.440><c> when</c><00:19:02.619><c> he</c><00:19:02.799><c> heard</c>

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.720
these<00:19:03.440><c> tidings.</c>

00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.859
And<00:19:03.900><c> his</c><00:19:04.059><c> anger</c><00:19:04.259><c> was</c><00:19:04.559><c> kindled</c><00:19:04.880><c> greatly.</c>

00:19:05.900 --> 00:19:07.960
So<00:19:06.119><c> God</c><00:19:06.420><c> is</c><00:19:06.759><c> trying</c><00:19:07.000><c> to</c><00:19:07.200><c> teach</c><00:19:07.400><c> this</c><00:19:07.720><c> man,</c>

00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.339
Saul,<00:19:09.640><c> I</c><00:19:09.920><c> can</c><00:19:10.259><c> change</c><00:19:10.640><c> your</c><00:19:11.000><c> life.</c>

00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:12.720
Do<00:19:11.579><c> you</c><00:19:11.720><c> know</c><00:19:11.920><c> that?</c>

00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:14.380
You<00:19:13.380><c> let</c><00:19:13.619><c> me</c><00:19:13.880><c> in.</c>

00:19:14.819 --> 00:19:16.839

00:19:17.299 --> 00:19:20.119
The<00:19:17.460><c> problem</c><00:19:17.779><c> is,</c><00:19:18.140><c> Saul,</c><00:19:18.220><c> you've</c><00:19:18.480><c> never</c><00:19:18.720><c> let</c><00:19:18.900><c> me</c><00:19:19.200><c> in.</c>

00:19:21.220 --> 00:19:24.000
This<00:19:21.539><c> man</c><00:19:21.900><c> was</c><00:19:22.220><c> not</c><00:19:22.579><c> a</c><00:19:22.700><c> Bible</c><00:19:23.059><c> student,</c><00:19:23.420><c> as</c><00:19:23.559><c> we're</c><00:19:23.740><c> going</c><00:19:23.819><c> to</c>

00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:28.140
This<00:19:25.539><c> man's</c><00:19:25.980><c> cranium</c><00:19:26.299><c> was</c><00:19:26.539><c> empty</c><00:19:26.859><c> when</c><00:19:26.980><c> it</c><00:19:27.119><c> came</c><00:19:27.380><c> to</c><00:19:27.579><c> things</c>

00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:30.220
from<00:19:28.599><c> the</c><00:19:28.759><c> Word</c><00:19:28.920><c> of</c><00:19:29.099><c> God.</c>

00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:34.859
He<00:19:31.200><c> was</c><00:19:31.420><c> a</c><00:19:31.559><c> man</c><00:19:31.759><c> who</c><00:19:31.940><c> hadn't</c><00:19:32.200><c> bothered</c><00:19:32.880><c> to</c><00:19:33.519><c> open</c><00:19:33.740><c> his</c><00:19:34.000><c> Bible.</c>

00:19:35.539 --> 00:19:38.980
And<00:19:35.680><c> that's</c><00:19:35.900><c> why,</c><00:19:36.180><c> of</c><00:19:36.299><c> course,</c><00:19:36.519><c> he</c><00:19:36.640><c> proves</c><00:19:36.880><c> to</c><00:19:37.160><c> be</c><00:19:37.480><c> an</c><00:19:37.740><c> unworthy</c><00:19:38.119><c> leader.</c>

00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.000
But<00:19:39.799><c> God's</c><00:19:40.319><c> saying</c><00:19:40.440><c> to</c><00:19:40.599><c> him,</c><00:19:41.539><c> it</c><00:19:41.640><c> can</c><00:19:42.019><c> be</c><00:19:42.279><c> different,</c><00:19:42.839><c> Saul,</c>

00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:45.079

00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.420
So<00:19:45.519><c> he</c><00:19:45.579><c> takes</c><00:19:45.880><c> him</c><00:19:46.079><c> over</c><00:19:46.240><c> for</c><00:19:46.480><c> a</c><00:19:46.619><c> while.</c>

00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.140
And<00:19:49.880><c> he</c><00:19:49.960><c> took</c><00:19:50.140><c> a</c><00:19:50.400><c> yoke</c><00:19:50.599><c> of</c><00:19:50.779><c> oxen</c><00:19:51.099><c> and</c><00:19:51.299><c> hewed</c><00:19:51.480><c> them</c><00:19:51.660><c> in</c><00:19:51.880><c> pieces</c>

00:19:52.140 --> 00:19:54.359
and<00:19:52.319><c> sent</c><00:19:52.579><c> them</c><00:19:52.759><c> throughout</c><00:19:53.000><c> all</c><00:19:53.380><c> the</c><00:19:53.480><c> coasts</c><00:19:53.799><c> of</c><00:19:53.799><c> Israel</c><00:19:54.099><c> by</c>

Whosoever<00:19:56.779><c> cometh</c><00:19:56.960><c> not</c><00:19:57.279><c> forth</c><00:19:57.579><c> after</c><00:19:57.940><c> Saul</c><00:19:58.180><c> and</c><00:19:58.359><c> after</c><00:19:58.680><c> Samuel,</c><00:19:59.500><c> so</c><00:19:59.740><c> shall</c><00:19:59.880><c> it</c>

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:09.099
What<00:20:06.799><c> were</c><00:20:06.960><c> the</c><00:20:07.019><c> words</c><00:20:07.279><c> we</c><00:20:07.440><c> read</c><00:20:07.599><c> back</c><00:20:07.859><c> in</c><00:20:08.119><c> Judges?</c>

00:20:09.339 --> 00:20:11.440
Well,<00:20:09.500><c> he</c><00:20:09.539><c> came</c><00:20:09.759><c> out</c><00:20:09.920><c> as</c><00:20:10.140><c> one</c><00:20:10.380><c> man.</c>

So<00:20:11.960><c> here</c><00:20:12.099><c> they</c><00:20:12.240><c> are</c><00:20:12.380><c> again.</c>

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:18.680
I'm<00:20:17.500><c> going</c><00:20:17.599><c> to</c><00:20:17.720><c> show</c><00:20:17.819><c> you</c><00:20:18.000><c> a</c><00:20:18.079><c> map</c><00:20:18.200><c> in</c><00:20:18.339><c> a</c><00:20:18.440><c> minute.</c>

Where<00:20:24.579><c> was</c><00:20:24.660><c> he</c><00:20:24.799><c> getting</c><00:20:24.940><c> that</c><00:20:25.220><c> from?</c>

All<00:21:08.700><c> Israel</c><00:21:09.099><c> are</c><00:21:09.400><c> called</c><00:21:09.619><c> to</c><00:21:09.900><c> save</c><00:21:10.200><c> the</c><00:21:10.400><c> town</c><00:21:10.599><c> of</c><00:21:10.839><c> Jabesh</c><00:21:11.160><c> Gilead</c><00:21:11.480><c> from</c>

00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:12.920
Nahash<00:21:12.259><c> the</c><00:21:12.480><c> Ammonite.</c>

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:16.359
There<00:21:13.539><c> it</c><00:21:13.720><c> is</c><00:21:13.839><c> up</c><00:21:14.099><c> here,</c><00:21:14.460><c> the</c><00:21:14.539><c> place</c><00:21:14.859><c> where</c><00:21:15.319><c> Jacob</c><00:21:15.720><c> makes</c><00:21:16.019><c> his</c>

00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:18.160
covenant<00:21:16.819><c> with</c><00:21:17.460><c> Laban.</c>

00:21:18.619 --> 00:21:20.380
Alright,<00:21:18.759><c> and</c><00:21:18.839><c> Gibeah</c><00:21:19.059><c> was</c><00:21:19.220><c> down</c><00:21:19.539><c> here.</c>

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:24.140
So<00:21:20.640><c> the</c><00:21:20.799><c> messengers</c><00:21:21.079><c> come,</c><00:21:22.039><c> he</c><00:21:22.380><c> hews</c><00:21:22.720><c> the</c><00:21:23.220><c> yoke</c><00:21:23.480><c> of</c><00:21:23.680><c> oxen</c>

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:27.759
and<00:21:24.680><c> he</c><00:21:24.940><c> sends</c><00:21:25.240><c> packages</c><00:21:25.920><c> throughout</c><00:21:26.779><c> Israel.</c>

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.259
This<00:21:28.039><c> is</c><00:21:28.299><c> exactly</c><00:21:28.859><c> what</c><00:21:29.200><c> happened</c><00:21:29.619><c> with</c><00:21:29.940><c> the</c><00:21:30.160><c> 12</c><00:21:30.440><c> pieces</c><00:21:30.859><c> of</c>

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:33.740
the<00:21:31.539><c> Levites'</c><00:21:32.079><c> concubine,</c><00:21:33.140><c> isn't</c><00:21:33.359><c> it?</c>

00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:35.480
So<00:21:34.180><c> where's</c><00:21:34.420><c> he</c><00:21:34.660><c> got</c><00:21:34.839><c> this</c><00:21:35.160><c> from?</c>

00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:38.180
You<00:21:35.920><c> reckon</c><00:21:36.079><c> he's</c><00:21:36.380><c> a</c><00:21:36.599><c> student</c><00:21:36.900><c> of</c><00:21:37.119><c> the</c><00:21:37.339><c> Bible?</c>

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.059
You<00:21:38.700><c> reckon</c><00:21:38.900><c> this</c><00:21:39.180><c> man</c><00:21:39.460><c> has</c><00:21:39.700><c> sort</c><00:21:39.799><c> of</c><00:21:39.940><c> gone</c><00:21:40.019><c> back</c><00:21:40.279><c> and</c><00:21:40.720><c> studied</c>

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:42.299
Judges<00:21:41.579><c> 19</c><00:21:41.920><c> and</c><00:21:41.960><c> 21?</c>

00:21:42.299 --> 00:21:44.099
That's<00:21:42.619><c> not</c><00:21:42.880><c> a</c><00:21:42.900><c> bad</c><00:21:43.160><c> idea.</c>

00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:48.339
If<00:21:44.500><c> we</c><00:21:44.700><c> want</c><00:21:44.839><c> to</c><00:21:44.940><c> get</c><00:21:45.059><c> them</c><00:21:45.240><c> out</c><00:21:45.380><c> with</c><00:21:45.539><c> one</c><00:21:45.759><c> consent,</c><00:21:46.799><c> we'll</c><00:21:47.079><c> send</c><00:21:47.299><c> out</c><00:21:47.640><c> packages</c><00:21:48.019><c> of</c>

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:49.799
parts<00:21:48.579><c> of</c><00:21:48.920><c> bodies.</c>

00:21:50.059 --> 00:21:51.039
You<00:21:50.140><c> reckon</c><00:21:50.240><c> he</c><00:21:50.359><c> got</c><00:21:50.460><c> it</c><00:21:50.559><c> from</c><00:21:50.720><c> there?</c>

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:52.960
Not<00:21:51.500><c> on</c><00:21:51.700><c> your</c><00:21:52.000><c> life.</c>

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:56.039
I<00:21:53.400><c> don't</c><00:21:53.599><c> think</c><00:21:53.759><c> Saul</c><00:21:53.980><c> ever</c><00:21:54.200><c> opened</c><00:21:54.420><c> a</c><00:21:54.579><c> Bible</c><00:21:54.819><c> on</c><00:21:54.920><c> his</c><00:21:55.160><c> life.</c>

00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.339
He<00:21:58.059><c> knew</c><00:21:58.440><c> nothing</c><00:21:58.720><c> about</c><00:21:59.059><c> the</c><00:21:59.240><c> Word</c><00:21:59.380><c> of</c><00:21:59.500><c> God,</c><00:22:00.279><c> this</c><00:22:00.500><c> man.</c>

00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:05.519
He<00:22:02.140><c> was</c><00:22:02.279><c> an</c><00:22:02.460><c> empty</c><00:22:02.680><c> head</c><00:22:02.859><c> when</c><00:22:03.000><c> it</c><00:22:03.180><c> came</c><00:22:03.960><c> to</c><00:22:04.380><c> the</c><00:22:04.599><c> truth.</c>

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:10.420
He<00:22:06.240><c> got</c><00:22:06.480><c> that</c><00:22:07.140><c> from</c><00:22:07.500><c> his</c><00:22:07.980><c> family's</c><00:22:09.359><c> history.</c>

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:13.380
He<00:22:11.019><c> got</c><00:22:11.279><c> that</c><00:22:11.539><c> from</c><00:22:11.740><c> the</c><00:22:12.059><c> stories</c><00:22:12.339><c> that</c><00:22:12.559><c> are</c><00:22:12.740><c> passed</c><00:22:13.099><c> down.</c>

00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:15.480
You<00:22:13.559><c> know,</c><00:22:13.859><c> we</c><00:22:13.960><c> all</c><00:22:14.160><c> have</c><00:22:14.380><c> family</c><00:22:14.759><c> stories,</c><00:22:15.180><c> don't</c><00:22:15.359><c> we?</c>

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.279
Let<00:22:15.700><c> me</c><00:22:15.799><c> tell</c><00:22:15.980><c> you</c><00:22:16.119><c> about</c><00:22:16.299><c> my</c><00:22:16.579><c> great</c><00:22:16.839><c>-grandfather</c><00:22:17.440><c> who</c><00:22:17.680><c> did</c><00:22:17.900><c> this</c><00:22:18.119><c> or</c>

did<00:22:18.500><c> that.</c>

00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:21.480
We've<00:22:19.359><c> all</c><00:22:19.539><c> got</c><00:22:19.779><c> family</c><00:22:20.299><c> stories.</c>

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.900
While<00:22:21.900><c> they'd</c><00:22:22.400><c> passed</c><00:22:22.640><c> down</c><00:22:22.900><c> the</c><00:22:23.119><c> family</c><00:22:23.480><c> story,</c>

00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:27.339
I<00:22:24.420><c> don't</c><00:22:24.599><c> think</c><00:22:24.720><c> there's</c><00:22:24.900><c> any</c><00:22:25.180><c> doubt</c><00:22:25.500><c> that</c><00:22:25.940><c> his</c><00:22:26.720><c> foremother</c>

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:31.079

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.480
That's<00:22:31.599><c> where</c><00:22:31.740><c> he</c><00:22:31.859><c> got</c><00:22:32.019><c> this</c><00:22:32.279><c> idea</c><00:22:32.619><c> from.</c>

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.660
He'd<00:22:33.940><c> heard</c><00:22:34.039><c> all</c><00:22:34.299><c> about</c><00:22:34.519><c> it</c><00:22:34.880><c> from</c><00:22:35.140><c> the</c><00:22:35.380><c> family</c><00:22:35.660><c> history,</c><00:22:36.240><c> not</c>

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:40.359
We're<00:22:37.940><c> going</c><00:22:38.059><c> to</c><00:22:38.059><c> see</c><00:22:38.200><c> that</c><00:22:38.359><c> that's</c><00:22:38.599><c> true</c><00:22:38.819><c> as</c><00:22:38.980><c> we</c><00:22:39.180><c> proceed.</c>

So<00:23:26.480><c> whereas</c><00:23:26.740><c> the</c><00:23:27.039><c> male</c><00:23:27.319><c> ass</c><00:23:27.619><c> represents</c><00:23:28.119><c> the</c><00:23:28.380><c> nation,</c>

00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:32.819
the<00:23:29.700><c> athon</c><00:23:29.960><c> represents</c><00:23:30.720><c> the</c><00:23:31.099><c> multitude</c><00:23:31.599><c> that</c><00:23:31.980><c> make</c><00:23:32.200><c> up</c><00:23:32.440><c> the</c><00:23:32.579><c> nation.</c>

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:34.500
A<00:23:33.019><c> little</c><00:23:33.160><c> bit</c><00:23:33.299><c> like</c><00:23:33.480><c> Christ</c><00:23:33.839><c> and</c><00:23:33.980><c> his</c><00:23:34.160><c> bride.</c>

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:36.599
They're<00:23:35.119><c> all</c><00:23:35.359><c> one</c><00:23:35.660><c> body,</c><00:23:36.000><c> so</c><00:23:36.240><c> to</c><00:23:36.460><c> speak.</c>

00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:38.180
Got<00:23:36.819><c> the</c><00:23:36.960><c> idea</c><00:23:37.240><c> of</c><00:23:37.359><c> that?</c>

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.299
So<00:23:38.700><c> what</c><00:23:38.880><c> we're</c><00:23:39.059><c> being</c><00:23:39.400><c> told</c><00:23:39.759><c> here,</c><00:23:40.099><c> and</c><00:23:40.259><c> it's</c><00:23:40.559><c> a</c><00:23:40.740><c> type,</c><00:23:40.980><c> isn't</c><00:23:41.140><c> it?</c>

00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:43.480
It's<00:23:41.859><c> a</c><00:23:41.940><c> way</c><00:23:42.200><c> of</c><00:23:42.500><c> presenting</c><00:23:42.819><c> a</c><00:23:43.059><c> lesson.</c>

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:48.039
We're<00:23:44.180><c> being</c><00:23:44.559><c> told</c><00:23:44.920><c> here</c><00:23:45.740><c> that</c><00:23:46.220><c> Yahweh's</c><00:23:47.579><c> asses,</c>

00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.119
the<00:23:48.599><c> father's</c><00:23:49.539><c> asses,</c><00:23:51.119><c> were</c><00:23:51.279><c> being</c><00:23:51.640><c> lost.</c>

00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:54.599
Now<00:23:52.759><c> I</c><00:23:52.900><c> mention</c><00:23:53.140><c> that</c><00:23:53.359><c> because,</c><00:23:53.700><c> you</c><00:23:53.799><c> see,</c><00:23:54.039><c> when</c><00:23:54.200><c> you</c><00:23:54.400><c> read</c>

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:55.339
this<00:23:54.880><c> phrase,</c>

00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:58.880
were<00:23:55.880><c> lost,</c><00:23:56.420><c> as</c><00:23:56.619><c> it</c><00:23:56.700><c> is</c><00:23:56.880><c> in</c><00:23:57.039><c> the</c><00:23:57.180><c> Av</c><00:23:57.440><c> of</c><00:23:57.640><c> verse</c><00:23:57.920><c> 3,</c>

00:23:58.940 --> 00:24:00.380
it<00:23:59.059><c> is</c><00:23:59.279><c> the</c><00:23:59.440><c> Hebrew</c><00:23:59.759><c> word</c><00:24:00.079><c> abed.</c>

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:02.720
It<00:24:00.480><c> means</c><00:24:00.740><c> to</c><00:24:01.039><c> stray,</c><00:24:01.579><c> to</c><00:24:01.700><c> be</c><00:24:01.900><c> lost.</c>

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:05.740
But<00:24:03.119><c> the</c><00:24:03.460><c> Hebrew</c><00:24:03.859><c> is</c><00:24:04.259><c> spelled</c><00:24:04.500><c> out</c><00:24:04.759><c> by</c><00:24:05.000><c> the</c><00:24:05.220><c> interlinear</c>

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:06.980
scriptural<00:24:06.359><c> analyzer,</c>

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:12.299
which<00:24:07.259><c> says,</c><00:24:08.539><c> and</c><00:24:08.799><c> they</c><00:24:09.200><c> are</c><00:24:09.779><c> being</c><00:24:10.559><c> lost.</c>

00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:15.599
And<00:24:13.180><c> I</c><00:24:13.460><c> think</c><00:24:13.740><c> if</c><00:24:13.920><c> you</c><00:24:14.079><c> wanted</c><00:24:14.299><c> a</c><00:24:14.559><c> description</c><00:24:14.940><c> of</c><00:24:15.079><c> what's</c><00:24:15.400><c> happening</c>

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:17.940
to<00:24:15.799><c> our</c><00:24:16.039><c> brotherhood</c><00:24:16.480><c> today,</c><00:24:16.900><c> you</c><00:24:17.059><c> can't</c><00:24:17.380><c> get</c><00:24:17.500><c> much</c><00:24:17.700><c> better</c>

00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:19.619
than<00:24:18.160><c> that.</c>

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:23.519
The<00:24:20.880><c> multitude</c><00:24:21.599><c> of</c><00:24:22.359><c> the</c><00:24:22.559><c> brotherhood</c><00:24:23.019><c> of</c><00:24:23.240><c> Israel,</c>

00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:27.220
and<00:24:23.680><c> I</c><00:24:23.839><c> mean</c><00:24:24.000><c> the</c><00:24:24.180><c> Israel</c><00:24:24.500><c> of</c><00:24:24.720><c> God,</c><00:24:25.920><c> are</c><00:24:26.059><c> in</c><00:24:26.240><c> danger.</c>

00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.519
There's<00:24:28.599><c> no</c><00:24:29.000><c> question,</c><00:24:29.440><c> brothers</c><00:24:29.759><c> and</c><00:24:30.000><c> sisters,</c>

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:33.480
open<00:24:31.559><c> our</c><00:24:32.359><c> eyes</c><00:24:32.759><c> and</c><00:24:33.039><c> look.</c>

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:38.839
There's<00:24:34.380><c> no</c><00:24:34.720><c> question</c><00:24:35.220><c> that</c><00:24:36.279><c> the</c><00:24:36.500><c> multitude</c><00:24:37.200><c> of</c><00:24:38.460><c> Israel</c>

is<00:24:38.960><c> in</c><00:24:39.160><c> danger</c><00:24:40.079><c> of</c><00:24:40.559><c> being</c><00:24:40.859><c> lost.</c>

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.440
The<00:24:42.319><c> spirits</c><00:24:42.720><c> of</c><00:24:43.000><c> liberty,</c><00:24:43.720><c> equality,</c><00:24:44.480><c> and</c><00:24:44.579><c> fraternity</c>

00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:49.200
are<00:24:46.119><c> wrecking</c><00:24:47.099><c> our</c><00:24:47.400><c> brotherhood.</c>

00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:54.299
Humanism<00:24:51.160><c> has</c><00:24:51.680><c> crept</c><00:24:52.000><c> in</c><00:24:52.680><c> to</c><00:24:53.039><c> every</c><00:24:53.380><c> corner.</c>

00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:56.640
And<00:24:54.440><c> if</c><00:24:54.579><c> we're</c><00:24:54.799><c> honest,</c><00:24:55.099><c> we</c><00:24:55.259><c> know</c><00:24:55.460><c> that's</c><00:24:55.839><c> true.</c>

00:24:57.339 --> 00:24:58.480
I<00:24:57.519><c> get</c><00:24:57.700><c> around</c><00:24:57.960><c> a</c><00:24:58.119><c> bit.</c>

00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:00.299
I<00:24:58.880><c> see</c><00:24:59.079><c> a</c><00:24:59.240><c> few</c><00:24:59.380><c> things.</c>

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:01.819
It's<00:25:00.920><c> happening.</c>

00:25:02.700 --> 00:25:05.079
We're<00:25:03.000><c> in</c><00:25:03.220><c> the</c><00:25:03.440><c> process</c><00:25:03.839><c> of</c><00:25:04.000><c> being</c><00:25:04.240><c> lost</c><00:25:04.500><c> as</c><00:25:04.680><c> a</c><00:25:04.880><c> community.</c>

00:25:05.140 --> 00:25:07.480
And<00:25:05.259><c> if</c><00:25:05.420><c> time</c><00:25:05.640><c> was</c><00:25:05.839><c> to</c><00:25:05.960><c> go</c><00:25:06.079><c> on,</c><00:25:06.279><c> unfortunately</c><00:25:06.700><c> it</c><00:25:06.880><c> won't.</c>

00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:10.420
But<00:25:07.779><c> if</c><00:25:07.960><c> time</c><00:25:08.160><c> was</c><00:25:08.339><c> to</c><00:25:08.500><c> go</c><00:25:08.559><c> on,</c><00:25:08.619><c> we</c><00:25:08.799><c> would</c><00:25:09.059><c> be</c><00:25:09.240><c> in</c><00:25:09.339><c> danger</c><00:25:09.960><c> of</c>

00:25:10.420 --> 00:25:11.619
being<00:25:10.619><c> lost.</c>

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:14.579
That's<00:25:12.940><c> where</c><00:25:13.119><c> we're</c><00:25:13.319><c> up</c><00:25:13.519><c> to.</c>

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:19.599
So<00:25:15.099><c> this</c><00:25:15.380><c> is</c><00:25:15.640><c> precisely</c><00:25:16.440><c> what's</c><00:25:16.940><c> happening</c><00:25:17.359><c> all</c><00:25:18.460><c> over</c><00:25:18.680><c> again.</c>

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.920
They<00:25:20.220><c> were</c><00:25:20.440><c> in</c><00:25:20.599><c> the</c><00:25:20.839><c> danger</c><00:25:21.299><c> of</c><00:25:21.460><c> being</c><00:25:21.660><c> lost.</c>

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:23.539
So<00:25:22.160><c> what</c><00:25:22.599><c> would</c><00:25:22.819><c> the</c><00:25:23.000><c> Father</c><00:25:23.220><c> do?</c>

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:26.000
Well,<00:25:24.299><c> send</c><00:25:24.480><c> after</c><00:25:24.799><c> them</c><00:25:24.980><c> someone</c><00:25:25.259><c> who</c><00:25:25.400><c> might</c><00:25:25.579><c> be</c><00:25:25.700><c> able</c><00:25:25.859><c> to</c>

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.420
find<00:25:26.319><c> them.</c>

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:29.700
Well,<00:25:28.039><c> Saul</c><00:25:28.180><c> goes</c><00:25:28.420><c> out.</c>

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:33.460
And<00:25:30.359><c> he</c><00:25:30.700><c> doesn't</c><00:25:31.099><c> know</c><00:25:31.460><c> anything</c><00:25:31.920><c> about</c><00:25:32.319><c> the</c><00:25:32.599><c> Bible.</c>

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:37.319
He's<00:25:34.740><c> the</c><00:25:34.859><c> last</c><00:25:35.180><c> person</c><00:25:35.480><c> you'd</c><00:25:35.740><c> send</c><00:25:35.960><c> out.</c>

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:40.880
But<00:25:38.380><c> he</c><00:25:38.500><c> sent</c><00:25:38.740><c> out</c><00:25:39.119><c> to</c><00:25:39.319><c> find</c><00:25:39.559><c> his</c><00:25:39.799><c> father's</c><00:25:40.279><c> asses.</c>

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:42.859
And<00:25:41.299><c> it's</c><00:25:41.440><c> going</c><00:25:41.579><c> to</c><00:25:41.680><c> be</c><00:25:41.839><c> a</c><00:25:41.920><c> disaster.</c>

00:25:43.460 --> 00:25:45.480
Look<00:25:43.579><c> at</c><00:25:43.680><c> verse</c><00:25:43.859><c> 4.</c>

00:25:46.380 --> 00:25:48.440
He<00:25:46.480><c> passed</c><00:25:47.039><c> through</c><00:25:47.559><c> Mount</c><00:25:47.960><c> Ephraim.</c>

00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:50.579
Ephraim<00:25:48.980><c> means</c><00:25:49.279><c> double</c><00:25:49.720><c> fruit.</c>

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:53.960
And<00:25:51.519><c> he</c><00:25:51.720><c> passed</c><00:25:52.079><c> through</c><00:25:52.460><c> the</c><00:25:52.599><c> land</c><00:25:52.839><c> of</c><00:25:53.019><c> Shalisha.</c>

00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:56.299
But<00:25:54.579><c> they</c><00:25:54.799><c> found</c><00:25:55.019><c> them</c><00:25:55.259><c> not.</c>

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:59.220
Then<00:25:56.519><c> they</c><00:25:56.759><c> passed</c><00:25:57.140><c> through</c><00:25:57.400><c> the</c><00:25:57.500><c> land</c><00:25:57.740><c> of</c><00:25:58.059><c> Shalem.</c>

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:01.740
And<00:26:00.539><c> they</c><00:26:00.720><c> were</c><00:26:00.880><c> not</c><00:26:01.099><c> there.</c>

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:04.980
And<00:26:02.279><c> he</c><00:26:02.500><c> passed</c><00:26:02.759><c> through</c><00:26:02.940><c> the</c><00:26:03.119><c> land</c><00:26:03.200><c> of</c><00:26:03.380><c> the</c><00:26:03.519><c> Benjamites.</c>

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:07.039
But<00:26:05.420><c> they</c><00:26:05.660><c> found</c><00:26:05.880><c> them</c><00:26:06.119><c> not.</c>

00:26:07.140 --> 00:26:11.640
Four<00:26:07.420><c> times</c><00:26:07.779><c> in</c><00:26:07.940><c> that</c><00:26:08.180><c> one</c><00:26:08.359><c> verse</c><00:26:08.740><c> you</c><00:26:09.240><c> have</c><00:26:09.460><c> the</c><00:26:09.859><c> word</c><00:26:10.279><c> Abar.</c>

00:26:13.500 --> 00:26:16.319
Abar<00:26:14.059><c> is</c><00:26:14.619><c> the</c><00:26:14.859><c> root</c><00:26:15.000><c> of</c><00:26:15.400><c> Hebrew.</c>

00:26:17.019 --> 00:26:19.460
It<00:26:17.220><c> means</c><00:26:17.539><c> to</c><00:26:17.819><c> pass</c><00:26:18.119><c> over</c><00:26:18.460><c> or</c><00:26:18.779><c> to</c><00:26:19.019><c> cross</c><00:26:19.240><c> over.</c>

00:26:19.539 --> 00:26:23.339
It's<00:26:19.779><c> the</c><00:26:19.880><c> word</c><00:26:20.019><c> that</c><00:26:20.400><c> dominates</c><00:26:20.880><c> Joshua</c><00:26:21.299><c> 3</c><00:26:21.599><c> and</c><00:26:21.740><c> 4</c><00:26:22.160><c> when</c><00:26:22.359><c> Israel</c><00:26:22.759><c> crossed</c><00:26:23.099><c> over</c>

the<00:26:23.579><c> Jordan.</c>

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:26.700
So<00:26:25.019><c> it's</c><00:26:25.279><c> about</c><00:26:25.759><c> passing</c><00:26:26.240><c> through.</c>

00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:32.579
You<00:26:27.619><c> know,</c><00:26:28.119><c> that's</c><00:26:28.240><c> exactly</c><00:26:28.759><c> what</c><00:26:28.960><c> happens</c><00:26:29.339><c> to</c><00:26:29.559><c> far</c><00:26:29.740><c> too</c><00:26:31.000><c> many</c><00:26:31.200><c> people.</c>

00:26:32.619 --> 00:26:34.880
In<00:26:32.720><c> verse</c><00:26:32.980><c> 5</c><00:26:33.259><c> we</c><00:26:33.420><c> read</c><00:26:33.619><c> that</c><00:26:33.759><c> then</c><00:26:34.200><c> they</c><00:26:34.380><c> would</c><00:26:34.539><c> come</c><00:26:34.680><c> to</c><00:26:34.839><c> the</c>

00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.240
Now<00:26:36.059><c> I</c><00:26:36.119><c> don't</c><00:26:36.259><c> want</c><00:26:36.359><c> to</c><00:26:36.460><c> do</c><00:26:36.599><c> any</c><00:26:36.859><c> more</c><00:26:37.079><c> than</c><00:26:37.460><c> to</c><00:26:37.740><c> tell</c><00:26:37.859><c> you</c><00:26:38.039><c> that</c>

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:40.859
Zeph<00:26:39.220><c> is</c><00:26:39.700><c> near</c><00:26:40.059><c> Ramah,</c>

00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:42.680

00:26:42.980 --> 00:26:45.819
And<00:26:43.119><c> we're</c><00:26:43.339><c> about</c><00:26:43.619><c> to</c><00:26:43.880><c> meet</c><00:26:44.000><c> him</c><00:26:44.380><c> in</c><00:26:44.720><c> the</c><00:26:44.900><c> record.</c>

00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:47.640
So<00:26:46.039><c> they</c><00:26:46.200><c> come</c><00:26:46.359><c> to</c><00:26:46.500><c> the</c><00:26:46.599><c> land</c><00:26:46.819><c> of</c><00:26:47.119><c> Zeph.</c>

00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.839
And<00:26:48.180><c> Samuel</c><00:26:48.559><c> lives</c><00:26:48.940><c> just</c><00:26:49.740><c> nearby.</c>

00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:51.940
Okay?

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:53.720
Well,<00:26:52.359><c> this</c><00:26:52.519><c> is</c><00:26:52.660><c> what</c><00:26:52.819><c> happened.</c>

00:26:54.119 --> 00:27:00.619

00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:03.660
So<00:27:00.940><c> he's</c><00:27:01.480><c> passing</c><00:27:01.960><c> through</c><00:27:02.539><c> Mount</c><00:27:02.859><c> Ephraim.</c>

00:27:11.779 --> 00:27:17.380
Like<00:27:12.039><c> all</c><00:27:12.359><c> men,</c><00:27:13.039><c> Saul</c><00:27:13.559><c> was</c><00:27:14.660><c> just</c><00:27:15.660><c> passing</c><00:27:16.279><c> through.</c>

His<00:27:36.240><c> failure</c><00:27:36.599><c> is</c><00:27:36.960><c> a</c><00:27:37.180><c> cameo</c><00:27:37.960><c> of</c><00:27:38.220><c> far</c><00:27:38.519><c> too</c><00:27:38.759><c> many</c><00:27:39.220><c> who</c><00:27:40.059><c> came</c><00:27:40.299><c> after</c><00:27:40.640><c> him.</c>

This<00:28:22.460><c> man</c><00:28:22.940><c> was</c><00:28:23.380><c> a</c><00:28:23.519><c> waste</c><00:28:23.700><c> of</c><00:28:23.859><c> time.</c>

Saul<00:28:42.660><c> said</c><00:28:42.880><c> to</c><00:28:43.059><c> his</c><00:28:43.200><c> servant</c><00:28:43.660><c> that</c><00:28:44.039><c> was</c><00:28:44.440><c> with</c><00:28:45.660><c> him,</c>

00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:48.859
Come<00:28:46.059><c> and</c><00:28:46.220><c> let</c><00:28:46.319><c> us</c><00:28:46.500><c> return,</c><00:28:47.579><c> lest</c><00:28:47.720><c> my</c><00:28:48.000><c> father</c><00:28:48.279><c> leave</c><00:28:48.519><c> caring</c>

00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:53.240
So<00:28:50.700><c> it</c><00:28:50.839><c> occurs</c><00:28:51.160><c> to</c><00:28:51.339><c> him</c><00:28:51.660><c> that</c><00:28:51.900><c> they</c><00:28:52.019><c> weren't</c><00:28:52.200><c> going</c><00:28:52.400><c> to</c><00:28:52.519><c> find</c><00:28:52.720><c> them,</c>

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:55.440

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:59.839
Well,<00:28:55.619><c> of</c><00:28:55.799><c> course,</c><00:28:56.579><c> the</c><00:28:56.660><c> father</c><00:28:56.920><c> does</c><00:28:57.180><c> worry</c><00:28:57.500><c> about</c><00:28:57.799><c> his</c><00:28:58.279><c> children,</c><00:28:58.839><c> doesn't</c><00:28:59.099><c> he?</c>

Behold<00:29:03.319><c> now,</c><00:29:03.859><c> there</c><00:29:03.980><c> is</c><00:29:04.200><c> in</c><00:29:04.339><c> this</c><00:29:04.579><c> city</c><00:29:04.799><c> a</c><00:29:04.980><c> man</c><00:29:05.180><c> of</c><00:29:05.440><c> God.</c>

00:29:05.579 --> 00:29:08.359
He<00:29:05.700><c> means</c><00:29:05.960><c> Samuel,</c><00:29:07.019><c> and</c><00:29:07.180><c> he</c><00:29:07.339><c> is</c><00:29:07.519><c> an</c><00:29:07.700><c> honorable</c><00:29:07.960><c> man.</c>

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:14.200
Yes,<00:29:12.319><c> Samuel</c><00:29:12.500><c> was</c><00:29:13.019><c> a</c><00:29:13.380><c> covenant</c><00:29:13.759><c> keeper.</c>

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:16.119
He<00:29:14.740><c> was</c><00:29:15.019><c> a</c><00:29:15.160><c> man</c><00:29:15.339><c> of</c><00:29:15.660><c> integrity.</c>

00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:17.259
They<00:29:16.720><c> knew</c><00:29:17.000><c> that.</c>

00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:19.279
The<00:29:17.559><c> servant</c><00:29:17.799><c> knew</c><00:29:18.160><c> it</c><00:29:18.359><c> at</c><00:29:18.420><c> least.</c>

00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:20.599
And<00:29:19.859><c> he's</c><00:29:20.119><c> a</c><00:29:20.279><c> prophet.</c>

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:22.440
Everything<00:29:21.140><c> he</c><00:29:21.380><c> says</c><00:29:21.599><c> comes</c><00:29:21.900><c> to</c><00:29:22.180><c> pass.</c>

00:29:22.539 --> 00:29:25.740
And<00:29:22.700><c> he's</c><00:29:22.880><c> going</c><00:29:22.980><c> to</c><00:29:23.099><c> hear</c><00:29:23.259><c> words,</c><00:29:24.119><c> is</c><00:29:24.319><c> Saul,</c><00:29:24.900><c> from</c><00:29:25.140><c> this</c><00:29:25.420><c> man,</c>

00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:28.099
Samuel,<00:29:26.960><c> very</c><00:29:27.220><c> shortly.</c>

00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:30.920
Now<00:29:29.359><c> let</c><00:29:29.539><c> us</c><00:29:29.700><c> go</c><00:29:29.960><c> to</c><00:29:30.119><c> this,</c><00:29:30.259><c> says</c><00:29:30.420><c> the</c><00:29:30.720><c> servant.</c>

00:29:31.099 --> 00:29:34.720
Peraventure,<00:29:31.619><c> he</c><00:29:31.759><c> can</c><00:29:32.019><c> show</c><00:29:32.279><c> us</c><00:29:32.680><c> our</c><00:29:33.019><c> way</c><00:29:33.500><c> that</c><00:29:33.880><c> we</c><00:29:34.140><c> should</c><00:29:34.339><c> go.</c>

00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:36.619
So<00:29:35.339><c> here</c><00:29:35.500><c> he</c><00:29:35.599><c> is,</c><00:29:35.799><c> the</c><00:29:36.000><c> honorable</c><00:29:36.299><c> man.</c>

00:29:36.619 --> 00:29:39.079
Samuel's<00:29:37.299><c> brought</c><00:29:37.400><c> to</c><00:29:37.579><c> the</c><00:29:37.720><c> attention</c><00:29:38.059><c> of</c><00:29:38.359><c> Saul.</c>

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:41.119
He's<00:29:39.619><c> going</c><00:29:39.799><c> to</c><00:29:40.019><c> show</c><00:29:40.180><c> them</c><00:29:40.500><c> our</c><00:29:40.880><c> way.</c>

00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:42.839
This<00:29:41.339><c> is</c><00:29:41.579><c> the</c><00:29:41.700><c> Hebrew</c><00:29:42.000><c> word</c><00:29:42.319><c> derech.</c>

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:45.180
It<00:29:42.980><c> means</c><00:29:43.299><c> a</c><00:29:43.660><c> road</c><00:29:43.920><c> as</c><00:29:44.440><c> trodden.</c>

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:47.920
Figuratively,<00:29:46.079><c> therefore,</c><00:29:46.420><c> a</c><00:29:46.619><c> course</c><00:29:46.839><c> of</c><00:29:47.119><c> life</c><00:29:47.299><c> or</c><00:29:47.539><c> a</c><00:29:47.740><c> mode</c>

00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:48.519
of<00:29:48.200><c> action.</c>

00:29:48.980 --> 00:29:51.079
And<00:29:49.180><c> that's</c><00:29:49.440><c> what</c><00:29:49.740><c> Saul</c><00:29:50.059><c> needed.</c>

00:29:51.539 --> 00:29:53.720
He<00:29:51.680><c> needed</c><00:29:52.039><c> to</c><00:29:52.279><c> be</c><00:29:52.539><c> shown</c><00:29:53.019><c> the</c><00:29:53.420><c> way.</c>

00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.220
And<00:29:54.180><c> Samuel</c><00:29:54.380><c> was</c><00:29:54.599><c> the</c><00:29:54.819><c> man</c><00:29:55.200><c> who</c><00:29:55.539><c> could</c><00:29:55.720><c> do</c><00:29:55.940><c> that</c><00:29:56.180><c> for</c><00:29:56.480><c> him.</c>

00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:59.900
So<00:29:57.640><c> Saul</c><00:29:57.880><c> responds</c><00:29:58.380><c> to</c><00:29:58.599><c> his</c><00:29:58.799><c> servant</c><00:29:59.019><c> in</c><00:29:59.240><c> verse</c><00:29:59.500><c> 7.</c>

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:01.599
Then<00:30:00.480><c> said</c><00:30:00.680><c> Saul</c><00:30:00.940><c> to</c><00:30:01.099><c> his</c><00:30:01.339><c> servant,</c>

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:05.059
But<00:30:02.059><c> behold,</c><00:30:02.480><c> if</c><00:30:02.660><c> we</c><00:30:02.880><c> go,</c><00:30:03.460><c> what</c><00:30:03.700><c> shall</c><00:30:03.960><c> we</c><00:30:04.240><c> bring</c><00:30:04.559><c> the</c><00:30:04.779><c> man?</c>

00:30:05.059 --> 00:30:08.940
Well,<00:30:06.299><c> that</c><00:30:06.319><c> doesn't</c><00:30:06.599><c> sound</c><00:30:07.359><c> too</c><00:30:07.960><c> bad,</c><00:30:08.359><c> does</c><00:30:08.460><c> it?</c>

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:10.619
What<00:30:09.559><c> shall</c><00:30:09.779><c> we</c><00:30:10.000><c> bring</c><00:30:10.220><c> the</c><00:30:10.420><c> man?</c>

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.220
But<00:30:11.200><c> you</c><00:30:11.279><c> know,</c><00:30:11.740><c> that</c><00:30:12.079><c> itself</c><00:30:12.700><c> highlights</c><00:30:13.339><c> a</c><00:30:13.579><c> problem</c><00:30:13.859><c> in</c><00:30:14.059><c> the</c>

00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:15.799

00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.700
Because<00:30:16.900><c> you</c><00:30:17.099><c> see,</c><00:30:17.279><c> that's</c><00:30:17.819><c> a</c><00:30:17.980><c> Judaistic</c><00:30:18.720><c> spirit.</c>

00:30:19.940 --> 00:30:23.200
That's<00:30:20.240><c> the</c><00:30:20.480><c> spirit</c><00:30:20.759><c> of</c><00:30:21.039><c> people</c><00:30:21.440><c> who</c><00:30:22.140><c> come</c><00:30:22.380><c> to</c><00:30:22.539><c> religion</c><00:30:22.819><c> saying,</c>

Almost<00:30:27.059><c> as</c><00:30:27.299><c> though</c><00:30:27.359><c> you've</c><00:30:27.460><c> got</c><00:30:27.539><c> to</c><00:30:27.640><c> give</c><00:30:27.779><c> a</c><00:30:27.980><c> gift.</c>

00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.539
All<00:30:34.900><c> that</c><00:30:35.160><c> Yahweh</c><00:30:35.420><c> said</c><00:30:35.680><c> we</c><00:30:35.839><c> will</c><00:30:36.000><c> do</c><00:30:36.160><c> and</c><00:30:36.339><c> be</c><00:30:36.519><c> obedient.</c>

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:42.299
It's<00:30:41.119><c> the</c><00:30:41.380><c> spirit</c><00:30:41.579><c> of</c><00:30:41.859><c> Judaism.</c>

00:30:48.099 --> 00:30:50.619
Because<00:30:48.200><c> when</c><00:30:48.380><c> the</c><00:30:48.500><c> Lord</c><00:30:48.680><c> Jesus</c><00:30:49.140><c> Christ</c><00:30:49.500><c> came,</c><00:30:49.859><c> that's</c><00:30:50.099><c> exactly</c><00:30:50.480><c> what</c>

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:30.180

That's<00:32:43.539><c> a</c><00:32:43.740><c> quarter</c><00:32:44.160><c> of</c><00:32:45.000><c> a</c><00:32:45.140><c> shekel</c><00:32:45.519><c> of</c><00:32:46.140><c> silver.</c>

00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:25.359
Let's<00:33:22.980><c> go</c><00:33:23.240><c> on</c><00:33:23.359><c> our</c><00:33:23.519><c> way</c><00:33:23.700><c> and</c><00:33:23.819><c> find</c><00:33:24.059><c> this</c><00:33:24.359><c> man.</c>

00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:29.259
Yes,<00:33:26.220><c> brothers</c><00:33:26.400><c> and</c><00:33:26.619><c> sisters,</c><00:33:27.740><c> that</c><00:33:27.900><c> was</c><00:33:28.059><c> his</c><00:33:28.259><c> problem.</c>

00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:33.140
He<00:33:30.000><c> thought</c><00:33:30.359><c> God</c><00:33:30.619><c> would</c><00:33:30.960><c> accept</c><00:33:31.480><c> half</c><00:33:32.099><c> measures.</c>

00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:38.039
And<00:33:34.480><c> this</c><00:33:34.720><c> man</c><00:33:35.000><c> was</c><00:33:35.220><c> always</c><00:33:35.759><c> a</c><00:33:36.039><c> half</c><00:33:36.299><c> measure,</c><00:33:36.700><c> Christadelphian.</c>

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:41.500
Now<00:33:38.519><c> we</c><00:33:38.619><c> wouldn't</c><00:33:38.880><c> be</c><00:33:39.140><c> guilty</c><00:33:39.319><c> of</c><00:33:39.500><c> this,</c><00:33:39.900><c> brethren,</c><00:33:40.059><c> would</c><00:33:40.180><c> we?</c>

00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:43.980
When<00:33:41.980><c> you're</c><00:33:42.200><c> asked</c><00:33:42.400><c> to</c><00:33:42.539><c> do</c><00:33:42.680><c> a</c><00:33:42.859><c> talk</c><00:33:43.039><c> in</c><00:33:43.200><c> the</c><00:33:43.380><c> Ecclesia</c><00:33:43.660><c> or</c><00:33:43.799><c> to</c>

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:45.599
lead<00:33:44.079><c> the</c><00:33:44.299><c> Ecclesial</c><00:33:44.720><c> study</c><00:33:45.059><c> class,</c>

00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:48.019
you<00:33:46.160><c> know</c><00:33:46.359><c> the</c><00:33:46.500><c> basic</c><00:33:46.880><c> rule.</c>

00:33:48.420 --> 00:33:50.640
The<00:33:48.480><c> length</c><00:33:48.700><c> of</c><00:33:48.880><c> the</c><00:33:49.059><c> talk,</c><00:33:49.240><c> whatever</c><00:33:49.500><c> that</c><00:33:49.680><c> is,</c><00:33:49.859><c> if</c><00:33:49.960><c> it's</c><00:33:50.079><c> an</c><00:33:50.279><c> hour,</c>

00:33:50.980 --> 00:33:53.500
you've<00:33:51.200><c> got</c><00:33:51.220><c> to</c><00:33:51.460><c> put</c><00:33:51.460><c> at</c><00:33:51.519><c> least</c><00:33:51.839><c> 10</c><00:33:52.099><c> hours</c><00:33:52.380><c> minimum</c><00:33:53.079><c> study</c>

00:33:53.500 --> 00:33:54.880
into<00:33:53.779><c> your</c><00:33:54.019><c> Bible.</c>

00:33:55.099 --> 00:33:56.539
At<00:33:55.259><c> least</c><00:33:55.500><c> 10.</c>

00:33:58.259 --> 00:34:00.720
You'd<00:33:58.700><c> never</c><00:33:58.880><c> give</c><00:33:59.099><c> half</c><00:33:59.380><c> measures,</c><00:33:59.779><c> would</c><00:33:59.900><c> you?</c>

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:01.720
Well,<00:34:00.980><c> I'll</c><00:34:01.180><c> tell</c><00:34:01.299><c> you</c><00:34:01.420><c> something.</c>

00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:04.799
There<00:34:02.279><c> was</c><00:34:02.460><c> an</c><00:34:02.619><c> occasion</c><00:34:02.839><c> in</c><00:34:02.980><c> my</c><00:34:03.200><c> life</c><00:34:03.380><c> when</c><00:34:03.500><c> I</c><00:34:03.680><c> was</c><00:34:03.819><c> quite</c><00:34:04.079><c> young,</c><00:34:04.299><c> I</c><00:34:04.480><c> did.</c>

00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.000
And<00:34:05.339><c> I've</c><00:34:05.640><c> never</c><00:34:05.880><c> forgotten</c><00:34:06.299><c> the</c><00:34:06.599><c> embarrassment.</c>

00:34:07.259 --> 00:34:09.780
And<00:34:07.440><c> I</c><00:34:07.519><c> can</c><00:34:07.799><c> still</c><00:34:08.039><c> see</c><00:34:08.239><c> the</c><00:34:08.460><c> redness</c><00:34:08.760><c> of</c><00:34:08.920><c> my</c><00:34:09.179><c> face</c><00:34:09.320><c> when</c><00:34:09.440><c> I</c><00:34:09.519><c> look</c><00:34:09.619><c> in</c>

00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:10.659
the<00:34:09.900><c> mirror.</c>

00:34:12.420 --> 00:34:15.199
And<00:34:12.739><c> from</c><00:34:12.960><c> that</c><00:34:13.300><c> day</c><00:34:13.480><c> to</c><00:34:13.639><c> this,</c><00:34:13.880><c> I've</c><00:34:14.139><c> made</c><00:34:14.320><c> my</c><00:34:14.619><c> mind</c><00:34:14.860><c> up.</c>

00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:17.239
It's<00:34:15.400><c> not</c><00:34:15.539><c> going</c><00:34:15.719><c> to</c><00:34:15.780><c> happen</c><00:34:15.940><c> again.</c>

00:34:18.500 --> 00:34:21.739
You<00:34:18.659><c> don't</c><00:34:19.320><c> give</c><00:34:19.880><c> half</c><00:34:20.280><c> measures</c><00:34:20.619><c> to</c><00:34:20.840><c> God.</c>

00:34:22.219 --> 00:34:23.659
But<00:34:22.400><c> far</c><00:34:22.579><c> too</c><00:34:22.760><c> many</c><00:34:22.980><c> people</c><00:34:23.260><c> do.</c>

00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:25.820
And<00:34:24.159><c> Saul</c><00:34:24.340><c> was</c><00:34:24.519><c> one</c><00:34:24.719><c> of</c><00:34:24.860><c> those.</c>

00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:29.239
He<00:34:26.119><c> was</c><00:34:26.300><c> the</c><00:34:26.559><c> half</c><00:34:26.820><c> measure</c><00:34:27.139><c> man</c><00:34:27.840><c> of</c><00:34:28.260><c> Israel.</c>

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:32.119
And<00:34:29.760><c> that's</c><00:34:30.000><c> why</c><00:34:30.219><c> he</c><00:34:30.320><c> couldn't</c><00:34:30.619><c> find</c><00:34:30.920><c> his</c><00:34:31.179><c> father's</c><00:34:31.679><c> asses.</c>

00:34:32.420 --> 00:34:33.920
That's<00:34:32.719><c> why</c><00:34:32.900><c> he</c><00:34:32.980><c> went</c><00:34:33.079><c> around</c><00:34:33.300><c> in</c><00:34:33.539><c> circles.</c>

00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:36.480
Too<00:34:34.420><c> many</c><00:34:34.619><c> people</c><00:34:34.860><c> go</c><00:34:35.079><c> around</c><00:34:35.300><c> in</c><00:34:35.519><c> circles</c><00:34:35.719><c> and</c><00:34:36.000><c> pass</c><00:34:36.280><c> through</c>

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.079
and<00:34:36.659><c> achieve</c><00:34:36.880><c> absolutely</c><00:34:37.380><c> nothing</c><00:34:37.800><c> in</c><00:34:38.000><c> life</c><00:34:38.239><c> because</c><00:34:38.519><c> they're</c><00:34:38.780><c> half</c>

00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:40.420
measure<00:34:39.400><c> people.</c>

00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:43.039
That's<00:34:41.420><c> Israel's</c><00:34:41.920><c> first</c><00:34:42.139><c> king.</c>

00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:48.019
So<00:34:45.039><c> he's</c><00:34:45.280><c> an</c><00:34:45.400><c> example</c><00:34:45.820><c> of</c><00:34:45.960><c> what</c><00:34:46.199><c> not</c><00:34:46.380><c> to</c><00:34:46.599><c> be.</c>

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:49.400
Well<00:34:48.539><c> said.</c>

00:34:49.539 --> 00:34:50.920
Brilliant<00:34:49.980><c> suggestion.</c>

00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:52.559
Come<00:34:51.619><c> on.</c>

00:34:53.260 --> 00:34:56.000
Let's<00:34:53.420><c> move</c><00:34:53.699><c> on</c><00:34:54.019><c> to</c><00:34:54.239><c> verse</c><00:34:54.440><c> 13.</c>

00:34:58.019 --> 00:35:01.179
Perhaps<00:34:58.199><c> just</c><00:34:58.559><c> step</c><00:34:58.760><c> back</c><00:34:59.000><c> to</c><00:34:59.159><c> verse</c><00:34:59.380><c> 11</c><00:34:59.619><c> to</c><00:34:59.800><c> get</c><00:34:59.900><c> the</c><00:35:00.139><c> context.</c>

00:35:02.820 --> 00:35:04.659
And<00:35:02.920><c> as</c><00:35:02.980><c> they</c><00:35:03.079><c> went</c><00:35:03.179><c> up</c><00:35:03.360><c> to</c><00:35:03.480><c> the</c><00:35:03.619><c> hill,</c><00:35:03.860><c> to</c><00:35:04.019><c> the</c><00:35:04.159><c> city,</c><00:35:04.460><c> they</c>

00:35:04.659 --> 00:35:05.559
found<00:35:04.900><c> young</c><00:35:05.199><c> maidens.</c>

00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:07.260
And<00:35:05.739><c> these</c><00:35:05.920><c> young</c><00:35:06.099><c> maidens</c><00:35:06.340><c> were</c><00:35:06.480><c> going</c><00:35:06.619><c> to</c><00:35:06.820><c> inform</c><00:35:07.119><c> them</c>

00:35:07.260 --> 00:35:09.219
about<00:35:07.500><c> something</c><00:35:07.800><c> very</c><00:35:08.099><c> important.</c>

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:11.699
Because<00:35:10.519><c> they</c><00:35:10.739><c> say,</c><00:35:11.079><c> is</c><00:35:11.199><c> the</c><00:35:11.400><c> seer</c><00:35:11.579><c> here?</c>

00:35:11.699 --> 00:35:12.840
Yes,<00:35:11.960><c> he</c><00:35:12.099><c> is.</c>

00:35:13.019 --> 00:35:14.159
Verse<00:35:13.159><c> 12.</c>

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:15.619
Behold,<00:35:14.900><c> he</c><00:35:15.039><c> is</c><00:35:15.139><c> before</c><00:35:15.460><c> you.</c>

00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.059
Make<00:35:15.900><c> haste</c><00:35:16.280><c> now,</c><00:35:16.820><c> for</c><00:35:16.960><c> he</c><00:35:17.119><c> came</c><00:35:17.360><c> today</c><00:35:17.599><c> to</c><00:35:17.739><c> the</c><00:35:17.880><c> city,</c>

00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:20.219
for<00:35:18.219><c> there</c><00:35:18.400><c> was</c><00:35:18.539><c> a</c><00:35:18.780><c> sacrifice</c><00:35:19.139><c> of</c><00:35:19.300><c> the</c><00:35:19.440><c> people</c><00:35:19.599><c> today</c><00:35:19.900><c> in</c><00:35:20.059><c> the</c>

high<00:35:20.400><c> place.</c>

00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:23.460
Then<00:35:22.099><c> verse</c><00:35:22.340><c> 13.</c>

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:25.960
These<00:35:24.260><c> girls</c><00:35:24.639><c> say</c><00:35:24.980><c> to</c><00:35:25.199><c> Saul</c><00:35:25.440><c> and</c><00:35:25.579><c> his</c><00:35:25.800><c> servant,</c>

00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:29.260
as<00:35:26.280><c> soon</c><00:35:26.559><c> as</c><00:35:26.679><c> he</c><00:35:26.820><c> be</c><00:35:27.019><c> come</c><00:35:27.119><c> into</c><00:35:27.320><c> the</c><00:35:27.559><c> city,</c><00:35:27.780><c> you</c><00:35:27.920><c> shall</c><00:35:28.199><c> straightway</c><00:35:28.800><c> find</c><00:35:29.119><c> him.</c>

00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:31.039
So<00:35:29.400><c> he's</c><00:35:29.559><c> going</c><00:35:29.639><c> to</c><00:35:29.739><c> be</c><00:35:29.800><c> at</c><00:35:29.900><c> the</c><00:35:30.059><c> gate.</c>

00:35:32.260 --> 00:35:34.900
Before<00:35:32.619><c> he</c><00:35:32.780><c> go</c><00:35:32.900><c> up</c><00:35:33.039><c> to</c><00:35:33.159><c> the</c><00:35:33.300><c> high</c><00:35:33.500><c> place</c><00:35:33.699><c> to</c><00:35:33.940><c> eat,</c><00:35:34.659><c> I</c><00:35:34.760><c> want</c><00:35:34.780><c> you</c>

Where's<00:36:48.760><c> Samuel?</c>

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:59.260
And<00:36:57.260><c> he's</c><00:36:57.440><c> hardly</c><00:36:57.619><c> cut</c><00:36:57.780><c> the</c><00:36:57.960><c> thing</c><00:36:58.039><c> up</c><00:36:58.199><c> and</c><00:36:58.340><c> Samuel</c><00:36:58.639><c> turns</c><00:36:58.940><c> up.</c>

00:38:33.460 --> 00:38:34.360
How<00:38:33.619><c> did</c><00:38:33.760><c> he</c><00:38:33.760><c> get</c><00:38:33.960><c> faith?</c>

00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:35.699
From<00:38:34.920><c> the</c><00:38:35.099><c> word</c><00:38:35.260><c> of</c><00:38:35.400><c> God.</c>

00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:36.639
That<00:38:35.960><c> was</c><00:38:36.119><c> his</c><00:38:36.300><c> problem.</c>

00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:38.800
There<00:38:36.980><c> was</c><00:38:37.159><c> nothing</c><00:38:37.400><c> in</c><00:38:37.579><c> his</c><00:38:37.800><c> brain.</c>

00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:42.099
He<00:38:40.679><c> could</c><00:38:40.980><c> not</c><00:38:41.179><c> wait.</c>

00:38:42.860 --> 00:38:44.679
So<00:38:43.019><c> there's</c><00:38:43.119><c> a</c><00:38:43.239><c> little</c><00:38:43.380><c> lesson,</c><00:38:43.960><c> isn't</c><00:38:43.960><c> there?</c>

00:38:44.900 --> 00:38:45.860
So<00:38:45.099><c> you</c><00:38:45.179><c> can</c><00:38:45.440><c> see.</c>

00:38:45.860 --> 00:38:50.559
We<00:38:46.440><c> might</c><00:38:46.760><c> think</c><00:38:47.079><c> that</c><00:38:48.199><c> not</c><00:38:48.539><c> waiting</c><00:38:48.940><c> for</c><00:38:50.059><c> Samuel</c><00:38:50.239><c> to</c><00:38:50.420><c> make</c>

00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:51.219
the<00:38:50.800><c> sacrifice</c>

00:38:51.219 --> 00:38:53.500
doesn't<00:38:51.559><c> sound</c><00:38:51.820><c> like</c><00:38:52.139><c> a</c><00:38:52.139><c> pretty</c><00:38:52.519><c> awful</c><00:38:53.119><c> sin.</c>

00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:55.760
Is<00:38:53.960><c> that</c><00:38:54.139><c> the</c><00:38:54.280><c> worst</c><00:38:54.480><c> sin</c><00:38:54.639><c> in</c><00:38:54.860><c> the</c><00:38:54.980><c> Bible?</c>

00:38:55.940 --> 00:39:00.019
He's<00:38:56.300><c> rejected</c><00:38:56.980><c> from</c><00:38:57.820><c> the</c><00:38:58.139><c> kingdom</c><00:38:58.480><c> for</c><00:38:58.860><c> that.</c>

00:39:02.019 --> 00:39:05.380
The<00:39:02.360><c> kingdom's</c><00:39:02.920><c> taken</c><00:39:03.179><c> from</c><00:39:03.440><c> him</c><00:39:04.059><c> for</c><00:39:04.340><c> that.</c>

00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:09.099
So<00:39:06.320><c> it's</c><00:39:06.500><c> not</c><00:39:07.440><c> a</c><00:39:07.900><c> small</c><00:39:08.139><c> thing.</c>

00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:12.539
And<00:39:10.119><c> we'll</c><00:39:10.219><c> come</c><00:39:10.400><c> to</c><00:39:10.480><c> that</c><00:39:10.659><c> lesson</c><00:39:10.920><c> later</c><00:39:11.219><c> on</c><00:39:11.780><c> in</c><00:39:12.159><c> our</c><00:39:12.320><c> next</c>

00:39:12.539 --> 00:39:13.239
study,<00:39:12.860><c> God</c><00:39:13.000><c> willing.</c>

00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.179
So<00:39:14.019><c> come</c><00:39:14.260><c> back</c><00:39:14.420><c> to</c><00:39:14.559><c> chapter</c><00:39:14.800><c> 9.</c>

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:22.079
Because<00:39:17.639><c> Samuel</c><00:39:18.000><c> arrives,</c><00:39:18.920><c> I</c><00:39:20.159><c> should</c><00:39:20.400><c> say,</c><00:39:20.739><c> in</c><00:39:20.780><c> verse</c><00:39:20.980><c> 14.</c>

00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:23.400
He's<00:39:22.460><c> there.</c>

00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:25.739
And<00:39:23.840><c> they</c><00:39:24.019><c> went</c><00:39:24.179><c> up</c><00:39:24.440><c> into</c><00:39:24.699><c> the</c><00:39:24.900><c> city.</c>

00:39:25.780 --> 00:39:26.980
And<00:39:25.780><c> when</c><00:39:25.940><c> they</c><00:39:26.139><c> were</c><00:39:26.340><c> coming</c><00:39:26.480><c> to</c><00:39:26.639><c> the</c><00:39:26.800><c> city,</c>

00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.360
behold,<00:39:27.420><c> Samuel</c><00:39:27.840><c> came</c><00:39:28.079><c> out</c><00:39:28.320><c> against</c><00:39:28.639><c> them.</c>

00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:30.659
For<00:39:29.559><c> to</c><00:39:29.739><c> go</c><00:39:29.820><c> up</c><00:39:29.920><c> to</c><00:39:30.039><c> the</c><00:39:30.159><c> high</c><00:39:30.360><c> place,</c>

00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:33.699
just<00:39:31.019><c> as</c><00:39:31.199><c> the</c><00:39:31.340><c> girl</c><00:39:31.519><c> said</c><00:39:31.840><c> that</c><00:39:31.980><c> they'd</c><00:39:32.300><c> find</c><00:39:32.460><c> him</c><00:39:32.880><c> near</c><00:39:33.159><c> the</c><00:39:33.380><c> gate.</c>

00:39:34.099 --> 00:39:35.340
And<00:39:34.260><c> we</c><00:39:34.460><c> read</c><00:39:34.679><c> on.</c>

00:39:35.739 --> 00:39:37.119
Verse<00:39:35.739><c> 15.</c>

00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.300
Now<00:39:37.940><c> Yahweh</c><00:39:38.300><c> had</c><00:39:38.599><c> told</c><00:39:38.780><c> Samuel</c><00:39:39.159><c> and</c><00:39:39.280><c> his</c><00:39:39.460><c> ear</c><00:39:39.639><c> a</c><00:39:39.800><c> day</c><00:39:39.940><c> before</c>

00:39:40.300 --> 00:39:41.340
Saul<00:39:40.639><c> came,</c><00:39:41.260><c> saying,</c>

00:39:41.340 --> 00:39:43.199
we<00:39:41.460><c> want</c><00:39:41.639><c> to</c><00:39:41.739><c> make</c><00:39:41.900><c> a</c><00:39:42.039><c> point</c><00:39:42.199><c> about</c><00:39:42.519><c> that.</c>

00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.179
So<00:39:43.619><c> Samuel</c><00:39:43.860><c> does</c><00:39:44.159><c> arrive</c><00:39:44.739><c> to</c><00:39:45.139><c> bless</c><00:39:45.340><c> the</c><00:39:45.559><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:39:46.659 --> 00:39:49.139
And<00:39:46.860><c> Saul</c><00:39:47.079><c> sees</c><00:39:47.460><c> it</c><00:39:47.579><c> with</c><00:39:47.719><c> his</c><00:39:47.900><c> own</c><00:39:48.119><c> eyes.</c>

00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:51.719
Samuel<00:39:49.639><c> was</c><00:39:49.840><c> not</c><00:39:50.039><c> going</c><00:39:50.219><c> to</c><00:39:50.400><c> fail</c><00:39:50.679><c> to</c><00:39:51.000><c> keep</c><00:39:51.179><c> his</c><00:39:51.440><c> promise</c>

00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:54.420
that<00:39:51.860><c> he</c><00:39:52.000><c> made</c><00:39:52.219><c> to</c><00:39:52.480><c> Saul</c><00:39:52.599><c> in</c><00:39:52.780><c> the</c><00:39:52.860><c> next</c><00:39:53.099><c> chapter</c><00:39:53.480><c> to</c><00:39:53.980><c> turn</c><00:39:54.260><c> up</c>

00:39:54.420 --> 00:39:54.960
at<00:39:54.639><c> Gilgal.</c>

00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:57.820
And<00:39:55.179><c> he</c><00:39:55.300><c> didn't</c><00:39:55.900><c> fail</c><00:39:56.340><c> to</c><00:39:56.539><c> keep</c><00:39:56.699><c> his</c><00:39:56.920><c> promise.</c>

00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:01.880
And<00:39:58.159><c> then</c><00:39:58.239><c> we</c><00:39:58.440><c> read</c><00:39:58.800><c> that</c><00:39:59.219><c> Yahweh</c><00:39:59.619><c> spoke</c><00:40:00.019><c> in</c><00:40:00.320><c> Samuel's</c><00:40:01.059><c> ear.</c>

00:40:01.900 --> 00:40:04.900
You<00:40:02.000><c> know,</c><00:40:02.820><c> I</c><00:40:03.000><c> don't</c><00:40:03.139><c> think</c><00:40:03.260><c> that's</c><00:40:03.599><c> put</c><00:40:03.820><c> in</c><00:40:04.039><c> there</c><00:40:04.280><c> just</c><00:40:04.539><c> to</c>

00:40:04.900 --> 00:40:07.300
add<00:40:05.199><c> some</c><00:40:05.619><c> words</c><00:40:05.900><c> to</c><00:40:06.139><c> the</c><00:40:06.400><c> text.</c>

00:40:07.500 --> 00:40:13.619
That's<00:40:08.019><c> telling</c><00:40:08.280><c> us,</c><00:40:09.320><c> that's</c><00:40:09.880><c> telling</c><00:40:10.019><c> us</c><00:40:10.260><c> the</c><00:40:10.460><c> secret</c><00:40:10.980><c> of</c><00:40:11.539><c> true</c><00:40:11.840><c> leaders</c><00:40:12.179><c> in</c><00:40:12.360><c> Israel.</c>

00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.099
Yahweh<00:40:14.139><c> speaks</c><00:40:14.579><c> into</c><00:40:14.840><c> their</c><00:40:15.219><c> ear.</c>

00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:18.980
You<00:40:16.599><c> know,</c><00:40:16.800><c> it</c><00:40:16.840><c> says</c><00:40:17.059><c> of</c><00:40:17.260><c> our</c><00:40:17.420><c> Lord</c><00:40:17.599><c> Jesus</c><00:40:18.000><c> Christ</c><00:40:18.360><c> in</c><00:40:18.579><c> Isaiah</c>

00:40:18.980 --> 00:40:20.960
50,<00:40:19.440><c> verses</c><00:40:19.699><c> 4</c><00:40:20.000><c> and</c><00:40:20.139><c> 5,</c>

they<00:40:21.380><c> awokenest</c><00:40:22.000><c> me</c><00:40:22.639><c> morning</c><00:40:23.360><c> by</c><00:40:23.840><c> morning.</c>

00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:27.519
Yahweh<00:40:25.960><c> spoke</c><00:40:26.300><c> into</c><00:40:26.539><c> his</c><00:40:26.840><c> son's</c><00:40:27.239><c> ear.</c>

00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:31.099
So<00:40:28.019><c> he</c><00:40:28.199><c> didn't</c><00:40:28.420><c> have</c><00:40:28.599><c> an</c><00:40:28.800><c> alarm</c><00:40:29.059><c> clock,</c><00:40:30.000><c> did</c><00:40:30.159><c> he?</c>

00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:33.440
When<00:40:31.719><c> our</c><00:40:31.880><c> Lord</c><00:40:32.000><c> Jesus</c><00:40:32.420><c> Christ</c><00:40:32.659><c> woke</c><00:40:32.880><c> up</c><00:40:33.039><c> in</c><00:40:33.119><c> the</c><00:40:33.260><c> morning,</c>

00:40:33.539 --> 00:40:35.480
it<00:40:33.539><c> was</c><00:40:33.659><c> because</c><00:40:33.880><c> there</c><00:40:34.000><c> was</c><00:40:34.199><c> a</c><00:40:34.320><c> voice</c><00:40:34.599><c> speaking</c><00:40:34.940><c> in</c><00:40:35.139><c> his</c><00:40:35.320><c> ear.</c>

00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:37.780
It<00:40:35.699><c> was</c><00:40:35.880><c> his</c><00:40:36.179><c> father's</c><00:40:36.780><c> voice.</c>

00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:39.119

00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:40.360
There's<00:40:39.440><c> a</c><00:40:39.599><c> principle</c><00:40:39.860><c> in</c><00:40:40.079><c> that.</c>

The<00:40:40.880><c> same</c><00:40:41.179><c> principle</c><00:40:41.699><c> that</c><00:40:41.920><c> was</c><00:40:42.260><c> spelled</c><00:40:42.440><c> out</c><00:40:42.659><c> to</c><00:40:42.820><c> Israel</c>

00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:46.019

because<00:48:30.219><c> he</c><00:48:30.340><c> had</c><00:48:30.539><c> three</c><00:48:30.820><c> years</c><00:48:31.059><c> to</c><00:48:31.239><c> go</c><00:48:31.340><c> in</c><00:48:31.420><c> his</c><00:48:31.679><c> ministry.</c>

00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:36.099
Three<00:48:32.880><c> days,</c><00:48:34.360><c> representing</c><00:48:34.699><c> three</c><00:48:35.099><c> years.</c>

00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:39.300
So<00:48:37.000><c> when</c><00:48:37.360><c> Israel's</c><00:48:38.019><c> true</c><00:48:38.320><c> king</c><00:48:38.579><c> came</c><00:48:38.900><c> along,</c>

00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:42.300
he<00:48:39.760><c> didn't</c><00:48:40.099><c> make</c><00:48:40.519><c> the</c><00:48:40.739><c> same</c><00:48:41.019><c> mistake</c><00:48:41.739><c> as</c><00:48:42.059><c> Saul.</c>

00:48:42.539 --> 00:48:45.340
He<00:48:42.820><c> found</c><00:48:43.519><c> his</c><00:48:43.900><c> father's</c><00:48:44.820><c> assets</c>

00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.460
who<00:48:46.159><c> were</c><00:48:46.360><c> in</c><00:48:46.480><c> the</c><00:48:46.639><c> process</c><00:48:46.960><c> of</c><00:48:47.099><c> being</c><00:48:47.400><c> lost</c><00:48:47.880><c> in</c><00:48:48.260><c> those</c><00:48:48.539><c> days.</c>

00:48:49.619 --> 00:48:53.900
So<00:48:49.719><c> there's</c><00:48:49.960><c> the</c><00:48:50.179><c> contrast</c><00:48:50.579><c> between</c><00:48:50.980><c> the</c><00:48:51.199><c> first</c><00:48:51.579><c> and</c><00:48:51.980><c> the</c><00:48:52.219><c> last</c><00:48:52.480><c> king</c><00:48:52.860><c> of</c><00:48:53.380><c> Israel.</c>

00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:56.159
So<00:48:54.539><c> here</c><00:48:54.739><c> he</c><00:48:54.820><c> is,</c><00:48:55.039><c> the</c><00:48:55.239><c> desire</c><00:48:55.619><c> of</c><00:48:55.780><c> Israel.</c>

00:48:56.260 --> 00:48:57.860
That's<00:48:56.420><c> what</c><00:48:56.519><c> his</c><00:48:56.739><c> name</c><00:48:56.940><c> means.</c>

00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:01.480
But<00:48:58.079><c> of</c><00:48:58.199><c> course,</c><00:48:58.539><c> that</c><00:48:58.659><c> word</c><00:48:59.079><c> is</c><00:48:59.900><c> used</c><00:49:00.280><c> of</c><00:49:00.480><c> Christ</c><00:49:00.840><c> and</c><00:49:01.000><c> the</c><00:49:01.199><c> saints</c>

00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:03.639
in<00:49:01.920><c> Haggai</c><00:49:02.280><c> chapter</c><00:49:02.599><c> 2,</c><00:49:02.960><c> verse</c><00:49:03.179><c> 7.</c>

00:49:03.639 --> 00:49:06.300
A<00:49:04.280><c> prophecy</c><00:49:04.579><c> about</c><00:49:04.960><c> to</c><00:49:05.159><c> be</c><00:49:05.360><c> fulfilled</c><00:49:05.780><c> when</c><00:49:05.980><c> it</c><00:49:06.159><c> says,</c>

00:49:06.500 --> 00:49:10.199
and<00:49:06.500><c> the</c><00:49:06.820><c> desirable</c><00:49:07.420><c> ones</c><00:49:07.840><c> of</c><00:49:08.039><c> the</c><00:49:08.199><c> nations</c><00:49:08.719><c> shall</c><00:49:09.119><c> come.</c>

00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:13.159
Yes,<00:49:11.920><c> they</c><00:49:12.139><c> don't</c><00:49:12.320><c> realise</c><00:49:12.679><c> it</c><00:49:12.900><c> yet,</c>

00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:16.920
but<00:49:13.820><c> you</c><00:49:14.000><c> and</c><00:49:14.199><c> I</c><00:49:14.559><c> hopefully</c><00:49:14.940><c> will</c><00:49:15.179><c> be</c><00:49:15.340><c> amongst</c><00:49:15.639><c> those</c><00:49:16.059><c> desirable</c><00:49:16.559><c> ones</c>

00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:18.940
that<00:49:17.400><c> will</c><00:49:17.780><c> straighten</c><00:49:17.980><c> out</c><00:49:18.280><c> this</c><00:49:18.579><c> world</c>

00:49:18.940 --> 00:49:23.119
and<00:49:19.500><c> set</c><00:49:19.699><c> it</c><00:49:19.900><c> right</c><00:49:20.159><c> that</c><00:49:20.539><c> God's</c><00:49:20.960><c> kingdom</c><00:49:21.159><c> might</c><00:49:21.420><c> be</c><00:49:21.719><c> established</c><00:49:22.260><c> upon</c><00:49:22.699><c> it.</c>

00:49:23.619 --> 00:49:26.179
So<00:49:23.820><c> let's</c><00:49:24.320><c> see</c><00:49:24.579><c> if</c><00:49:24.679><c> we</c><00:49:24.780><c> can</c><00:49:24.980><c> now</c><00:49:25.159><c> finish</c><00:49:25.420><c> off</c><00:49:25.659><c> this</c><00:49:25.940><c> study</c>

00:49:26.179 --> 00:49:29.760
with<00:49:27.019><c> the</c><00:49:27.199><c> last</c><00:49:27.400><c> few</c><00:49:27.599><c> verses</c><00:49:27.960><c> of</c><00:49:28.219><c> 1</c><00:49:28.380><c> Samuel</c><00:49:28.719><c> 9.</c>

00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:33.059
A<00:49:30.840><c> portion</c><00:49:31.280><c> has</c><00:49:31.559><c> been</c><00:49:31.900><c> reserved.</c>

00:49:34.739 --> 00:49:37.420
Read<00:49:35.260><c> verse</c><00:49:35.780><c> 22.</c>

00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:39.639
As<00:49:38.300><c> Samuel</c><00:49:38.559><c> took</c><00:49:38.860><c> Saul</c><00:49:39.079><c> and</c><00:49:39.199><c> his</c><00:49:39.460><c> servant</c>

00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:41.840
and<00:49:39.820><c> brought</c><00:49:40.079><c> them</c><00:49:40.300><c> into</c><00:49:40.519><c> the</c><00:49:40.800><c> parlour,</c>

00:49:42.059 --> 00:49:43.639
he<00:49:42.139><c> sets</c><00:49:42.400><c> them</c><00:49:42.579><c> in</c><00:49:42.699><c> the</c><00:49:42.860><c> chiefest</c><00:49:43.239><c> place,</c>

00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.480
and<00:49:44.059><c> in</c><00:49:44.219><c> verse</c><00:49:44.440><c> 23</c><00:49:44.940><c> he</c><00:49:45.119><c> says</c><00:49:45.380><c> to</c><00:49:45.579><c> the</c><00:49:45.760><c> cook,</c>

00:49:46.659 --> 00:49:48.699
bring<00:49:46.940><c> the</c><00:49:47.239><c> portion</c><00:49:47.659><c> which</c><00:49:47.940><c> I</c><00:49:48.219><c> gave</c><00:49:48.480><c> thee,</c>

00:49:48.739 --> 00:49:52.460
of<00:49:48.860><c> which</c><00:49:49.039><c> I</c><00:49:49.260><c> said</c><00:49:49.360><c> unto</c><00:49:49.599><c> thee,</c><00:49:50.320><c> set</c><00:49:50.619><c> it</c><00:49:51.260><c> by</c><00:49:51.699><c> thee.</c>

00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:54.699
And<00:49:52.980><c> the</c><00:49:53.119><c> cook</c><00:49:53.239><c> took</c><00:49:53.440><c> up</c><00:49:53.699><c> the</c><00:49:54.199><c> shoulder,</c>

00:49:55.039 --> 00:49:57.480
and<00:49:55.260><c> he</c><00:49:55.579><c> placed</c><00:49:55.800><c> it</c><00:49:56.079><c> before</c><00:49:56.480><c> Saul.</c>

00:49:57.639 --> 00:49:59.340
Now,<00:49:58.400><c> this</c><00:49:58.519><c> is</c><00:49:58.659><c> very</c><00:49:58.900><c> significant</c>

00:49:59.340 --> 00:50:02.679
because<00:49:59.639><c> this</c><00:49:59.900><c> word</c><00:50:00.099><c> shoulder</c><00:50:00.500><c> means</c><00:50:00.940><c> the</c><00:50:01.199><c> leg</c><00:50:01.460><c> or</c><00:50:01.699><c> the</c><00:50:01.880><c> thigh.</c>

00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:06.199
It<00:50:03.800><c> is</c><00:50:04.360><c> a</c><00:50:04.679><c> word</c><00:50:04.860><c> that</c><00:50:05.000><c> is</c><00:50:05.219><c> used</c><00:50:05.420><c> in</c><00:50:05.579><c> the</c><00:50:05.739><c> Old</c><00:50:05.900><c> Testament</c>

00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:13.440
Now,<00:50:10.000><c> it</c><00:50:10.340><c> was</c><00:50:10.780><c> the</c><00:50:11.119><c> prime</c><00:50:11.380><c> portion</c><00:50:11.840><c> of</c><00:50:12.139><c> the</c><00:50:12.340><c> sacrifice,</c>

00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:17.280
and<00:50:13.760><c> it</c><00:50:14.260><c> fell</c><00:50:14.559><c> to</c><00:50:14.760><c> the</c><00:50:14.940><c> priest,</c><00:50:15.420><c> to</c><00:50:15.519><c> the</c><00:50:15.699><c> officiating</c><00:50:16.300><c> priest.</c>

00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:19.360
It<00:50:17.780><c> was</c><00:50:18.000><c> the</c><00:50:18.300><c> priest's</c><00:50:19.000><c> portion,</c>

00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:23.219

00:50:23.340 --> 00:50:24.219
He<00:50:23.340><c> was</c><00:50:23.519><c> to</c><00:50:23.659><c> be</c><00:50:23.820><c> king,</c>

00:50:31.699 --> 00:50:33.380
a<00:50:31.860><c> teacher</c><00:50:32.280><c> of</c><00:50:32.699><c> God's</c><00:50:33.119><c> people.</c>

00:50:33.619 --> 00:50:37.800
So<00:50:34.019><c> Saul</c><00:50:34.280><c> was</c><00:50:34.559><c> given</c><00:50:34.860><c> the</c><00:50:35.219><c> priest's</c><00:50:35.840><c> portion</c><00:50:36.179><c> on</c><00:50:36.519><c> this</c><00:50:36.659><c> occasion.</c>

00:50:39.059 --> 00:50:41.139
He<00:50:39.159><c> was</c><00:50:39.300><c> to</c><00:50:39.460><c> prove</c><00:50:39.599><c> unworthy</c><00:50:39.960><c> of</c><00:50:40.119><c> it.</c>

00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:42.739
But<00:50:42.000><c> it</c><00:50:42.079><c> could</c><00:50:42.239><c> have</c><00:50:42.360><c> been</c><00:50:42.480><c> different.</c>

00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:44.760

00:50:45.219 --> 00:50:46.920
And<00:50:45.219><c> when</c><00:50:45.400><c> they</c><00:50:45.599><c> were</c><00:50:45.739><c> come</c><00:50:45.900><c> down</c><00:50:46.139><c> from</c><00:50:46.320><c> the</c><00:50:46.480><c> high</c><00:50:46.699><c> place</c>

What<00:50:53.000><c> did</c><00:50:53.260><c> he</c><00:50:53.260><c> used</c><00:50:53.460><c> to</c><00:50:53.579><c> do</c><00:50:53.659><c> on</c><00:50:53.840><c> the</c><00:50:53.940><c> top</c><00:50:54.000><c> of</c><00:50:54.199><c> the</c><00:50:54.340><c> house</c><00:50:54.599><c> in</c><00:50:54.719><c> Israel?</c>

00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:59.679
Well,<00:50:56.260><c> you</c><00:50:56.340><c> went</c><00:50:56.519><c> up</c><00:50:56.760><c> there</c><00:50:57.019><c> for</c><00:50:57.280><c> prayer</c><00:50:57.800><c> and</c><00:50:58.599><c> meditation.</c>

00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:01.820
That's<00:51:00.159><c> why</c><00:51:00.400><c> houses</c><00:51:00.760><c> in</c><00:51:00.920><c> Israel</c><00:51:01.219><c> were</c><00:51:01.500><c> designed</c>

00:51:01.820 --> 00:51:03.480
like<00:51:02.119><c> the</c><00:51:02.420><c> incense</c><00:51:02.699><c> altar,</c><00:51:03.019><c> weren't</c><00:51:03.159><c> they?</c>

00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:06.280
The<00:51:04.039><c> incense</c><00:51:04.239><c> altar</c><00:51:04.440><c> had</c><00:51:04.619><c> a</c><00:51:04.860><c> crown</c><00:51:05.059><c> or</c><00:51:05.340><c> a</c><00:51:05.559><c> balustrade</c><00:51:06.000><c> around</c>

00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:07.360
its<00:51:06.539><c> top.</c>

00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:09.280
So<00:51:07.820><c> when</c><00:51:08.099><c> you</c><00:51:08.460><c> build</c><00:51:08.599><c> a</c><00:51:08.780><c> house</c><00:51:08.920><c> in</c><00:51:09.059><c> Israel,</c>

00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:11.960
God<00:51:09.519><c> says</c><00:51:09.780><c> you</c><00:51:10.000><c> make</c><00:51:10.199><c> sure</c><00:51:10.380><c> you've</c><00:51:10.500><c> got</c><00:51:10.559><c> a</c><00:51:10.699><c> balustrade</c><00:51:11.199><c> on</c>

00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:12.920
your<00:51:12.139><c> roof.</c>

00:51:12.940 --> 00:51:14.940
They<00:51:13.099><c> used</c><00:51:13.300><c> to</c><00:51:13.420><c> have</c><00:51:13.519><c> an</c><00:51:13.719><c> outside</c><00:51:14.079><c> set</c><00:51:14.280><c> of</c><00:51:14.559><c> stairs</c>

00:51:14.940 --> 00:51:16.199
so<00:51:15.300><c> you</c><00:51:15.460><c> could</c><00:51:15.679><c> walk</c><00:51:15.960><c> up.</c>

00:51:16.260 --> 00:51:18.579
So<00:51:16.420><c> the</c><00:51:16.500><c> man</c><00:51:16.639><c> at</c><00:51:16.800><c> the</c><00:51:16.960><c> house</c><00:51:17.079><c> would</c><00:51:17.260><c> come</c><00:51:17.500><c> home</c><00:51:17.739><c> from</c><00:51:17.900><c> his</c><00:51:18.159><c> labors</c><00:51:18.420><c> in</c>

00:51:18.579 --> 00:51:18.980
the<00:51:18.760><c> day,</c>

00:51:19.219 --> 00:51:20.760
and<00:51:19.420><c> before</c><00:51:19.639><c> he</c><00:51:19.760><c> went</c><00:51:19.860><c> in</c><00:51:20.019><c> and</c><00:51:20.099><c> kissed</c><00:51:20.320><c> his</c><00:51:20.539><c> wife</c>

00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:23.860
and<00:51:20.900><c> did</c><00:51:21.000><c> his</c><00:51:22.239><c> parental</c><00:51:22.579><c> duties</c><00:51:22.980><c> or</c><00:51:23.079><c> whatever</c><00:51:23.300><c> it</c><00:51:23.480><c> was,</c>

00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:26.719
he<00:51:24.559><c> would</c><00:51:24.739><c> go</c><00:51:24.940><c> up</c><00:51:25.139><c> the</c><00:51:25.380><c> stairs</c><00:51:25.639><c> to</c><00:51:25.820><c> the</c><00:51:25.940><c> top</c><00:51:26.039><c> of</c><00:51:26.219><c> his</c><00:51:26.380><c> house.</c>

00:51:26.980 --> 00:51:29.179
And<00:51:27.099><c> up</c><00:51:27.280><c> there</c><00:51:27.460><c> he</c><00:51:27.559><c> would</c><00:51:27.860><c> pray</c><00:51:28.300><c> and</c><00:51:28.760><c> meditate</c>

00:51:29.179 --> 00:51:33.059
so<00:51:29.380><c> he</c><00:51:29.579><c> might</c><00:51:29.780><c> be</c><00:51:30.019><c> prepared</c><00:51:30.679><c> to</c><00:51:31.099><c> go</c><00:51:31.300><c> in</c><00:51:31.500><c> and</c><00:51:31.659><c> do</c><00:51:31.739><c> his</c><00:51:32.039><c> duties</c><00:51:32.420><c> in</c>

00:51:33.059 --> 00:51:33.519
the<00:51:33.260><c> house.</c>

00:51:33.920 --> 00:51:36.860
That's<00:51:34.119><c> why</c><00:51:34.320><c> God</c><00:51:34.579><c> said,</c><00:51:35.239><c> design</c><00:51:35.760><c> your</c><00:51:35.980><c> houses</c><00:51:36.300><c> that</c><00:51:36.619><c> way.</c>

00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:40.199
The<00:51:37.420><c> housetop</c><00:51:37.840><c> is</c><00:51:38.059><c> a</c><00:51:38.280><c> place</c><00:51:38.539><c> for</c><00:51:38.780><c> prayer</c><00:51:39.139><c> and</c><00:51:39.639><c> meditation.</c>

00:51:40.659 --> 00:51:42.519
Saul<00:51:40.820><c> didn't</c><00:51:40.960><c> know</c><00:51:41.099><c> much</c><00:51:41.340><c> about</c><00:51:41.599><c> that.</c>

00:51:43.059 --> 00:51:45.480
So<00:51:43.360><c> Samuel</c><00:51:43.659><c> takes</c><00:51:44.019><c> him</c><00:51:44.199><c> up</c><00:51:44.360><c> to</c><00:51:44.539><c> the</c><00:51:44.659><c> top</c><00:51:44.760><c> of</c><00:51:44.920><c> the</c><00:51:45.099><c> house.</c>

00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:48.039
And<00:51:46.139><c> he</c><00:51:46.559><c> communes</c><00:51:47.280><c> with</c><00:51:47.519><c> him</c><00:51:47.760><c> there.</c>

00:51:48.039 --> 00:51:52.260
Now,<00:51:48.460><c> it</c><00:51:48.539><c> just</c><00:51:48.699><c> so</c><00:51:48.880><c> happens</c><00:51:49.039><c> the</c><00:51:49.179><c> word</c><00:51:49.460><c> communed</c><00:51:50.480><c> is</c><00:51:50.719><c> the</c><00:51:50.800><c> word</c><00:51:51.239><c> debar.</c>

00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:56.059
That's<00:51:53.039><c> the</c><00:51:53.119><c> word</c><00:51:53.320><c> used</c><00:51:53.599><c> in</c><00:51:53.739><c> the</c><00:51:53.880><c> Old</c><00:51:54.059><c> Testament</c><00:51:54.480><c> for</c><00:51:55.119><c> the</c><00:51:55.280><c> Word</c><00:51:55.480><c> of</c><00:51:55.719><c> God.</c>

00:51:56.420 --> 00:52:00.119
So<00:51:56.460><c> he's</c><00:51:56.840><c> teaching</c><00:51:57.239><c> him</c><00:51:58.079><c> the</c><00:51:58.739><c> Word</c><00:51:58.960><c> of</c><00:51:59.099><c> God.</c>

00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:03.099
Let<00:52:01.159><c> me</c><00:52:01.239><c> read</c><00:52:01.400><c> in</c><00:52:01.559><c> verse</c><00:52:01.739><c> 26.</c>

00:52:03.480 --> 00:52:05.440
And<00:52:03.579><c> they</c><00:52:03.840><c> arose</c><00:52:04.219><c> early.</c>

00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:08.920
Yes,<00:52:06.340><c> it's</c><00:52:06.360><c> almost</c><00:52:06.360><c> like</c><00:52:06.860><c> resurrection</c><00:52:07.360><c> language,</c><00:52:07.840><c> isn't</c><00:52:07.940><c> it?</c>

00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:13.679
Samuel's<00:52:10.019><c> trying</c><00:52:10.420><c> to</c><00:52:10.739><c> get</c><00:52:11.019><c> this</c><00:52:11.480><c> man</c><00:52:12.219><c> going.</c>

00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:16.139
He's<00:52:14.880><c> given</c><00:52:15.039><c> every</c><00:52:15.460><c> opportunity.</c>

00:52:16.139 --> 00:52:18.539
He<00:52:17.119><c> just</c><00:52:17.340><c> doesn't</c><00:52:17.619><c> respond</c><00:52:18.039><c> to</c><00:52:18.199><c> it.</c>

00:52:18.659 --> 00:52:20.380
Look<00:52:18.820><c> at</c><00:52:18.920><c> the</c><00:52:19.039><c> next</c><00:52:19.239><c> words</c><00:52:19.480><c> that</c><00:52:19.679><c> are</c><00:52:19.780><c> used.</c>

00:52:20.780 --> 00:52:24.639
And<00:52:20.780><c> it</c><00:52:20.860><c> came</c><00:52:21.079><c> to</c><00:52:21.239><c> pass</c><00:52:21.440><c> about</c><00:52:21.780><c> the</c><00:52:22.300><c> spring</c><00:52:22.980><c> of</c><00:52:23.619><c> the</c><00:52:23.800><c> day.</c>

00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:26.539
Redolent<00:52:25.639><c> with</c><00:52:25.920><c> meaning,</c><00:52:26.320><c> isn't</c><00:52:26.440><c> it?</c>

00:52:26.599 --> 00:52:29.380
The<00:52:26.699><c> word</c><00:52:27.179><c> ala</c><00:52:27.539><c> means</c><00:52:27.780><c> to</c><00:52:28.059><c> ascend.</c>

00:52:29.659 --> 00:52:34.079
It's<00:52:29.860><c> all</c><00:52:30.079><c> about</c><00:52:30.420><c> trying</c><00:52:30.679><c> to</c><00:52:30.820><c> get</c><00:52:30.960><c> this</c><00:52:31.380><c> man</c><00:52:31.760><c> to</c><00:52:32.340><c> start</c><00:52:32.820><c> ascending</c>

00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:36.719
to<00:52:35.019><c> the</c><00:52:35.219><c> things</c><00:52:35.380><c> that</c><00:52:35.579><c> really</c><00:52:35.860><c> matter.</c>

00:52:37.420 --> 00:52:41.440
Then<00:52:37.579><c> it</c><00:52:37.739><c> says</c><00:52:38.559><c> in</c><00:52:39.340><c> verse</c><00:52:39.800><c> 26,</c><00:52:40.440><c> the</c><00:52:40.579><c> final</c><00:52:40.920><c> sentence,</c>

00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:45.579
And<00:52:42.300><c> Saul</c><00:52:42.539><c> arose</c><00:52:42.960><c> and</c><00:52:43.099><c> they</c><00:52:43.280><c> went</c><00:52:43.440><c> out,</c><00:52:44.079><c> both</c><00:52:44.480><c> of</c><00:52:44.760><c> them,</c><00:52:45.280><c> he</c>

00:52:45.579 --> 00:52:47.099
and<00:52:45.900><c> Samuel</c><00:52:46.280><c> abroad.</c>

00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:48.699
That<00:52:47.500><c> was</c><00:52:47.719><c> the</c><00:52:47.840><c> key</c><00:52:47.980><c> to</c><00:52:48.159><c> his</c><00:52:48.260><c> success.</c>

00:52:49.099 --> 00:52:51.380
You<00:52:49.219><c> know</c><00:52:49.360><c> what</c><00:52:49.559><c> happened</c><00:52:49.820><c> to</c><00:52:50.119><c> David,</c><00:52:50.400><c> don't</c><00:52:50.539><c> you?</c>

00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:56.219
Before<00:52:52.880><c> Samuel</c><00:52:53.280><c> died,</c><00:52:55.019><c> David</c><00:52:55.280><c> sought</c><00:52:55.500><c> an</c><00:52:55.659><c> opportunity.</c>

00:52:56.559 --> 00:53:01.559
He<00:52:56.760><c> went</c><00:52:57.000><c> to</c><00:52:57.320><c> Samuel</c><00:52:57.679><c> and</c><00:52:58.039><c> they</c><00:52:58.320><c> sat</c><00:52:58.579><c> down</c><00:52:59.099><c> and</c><00:52:59.300><c> they</c><00:52:59.780><c> organized</c><00:53:00.320><c> the</c><00:53:00.679><c> kingdom.</c>

00:53:02.260 --> 00:53:07.179
