00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.779
Because<00:10:52.659><c> there</c><00:10:53.059><c> was</c><00:10:53.259><c> a</c><00:10:53.419><c> point</c><00:10:53.539><c> in</c><00:10:53.759><c> history</c><00:10:54.059><c> where</c><00:10:54.399><c> holiness</c>

00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.419
And<00:13:46.320><c> that's</c><00:13:46.820><c> a</c><00:13:47.019><c> Levite.</c>

00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:50.519

00:13:52.059 --> 00:13:54.820
We<00:13:52.500><c> have</c><00:13:52.720><c> no</c><00:13:52.899><c> record.</c><00:13:53.440><c> Where</c><00:13:53.700><c> are</c><00:13:53.919><c> the</c><00:13:54.120><c> people</c><00:13:54.340><c> upholding</c>

God's<00:13:55.220><c> holiness?</c>

00:13:56.460 --> 00:13:59.700
During<00:13:56.860><c> the</c><00:13:57.100><c> time</c><00:13:57.279><c> of</c><00:13:57.519><c> Samson</c><00:13:58.000><c> and</c><00:13:58.559><c> all</c><00:13:59.039><c> the</c><00:13:59.220><c> other</c><00:13:59.419><c> people,</c>

00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:02.639
What<00:14:01.539><c> are</c><00:14:01.659><c> they</c><00:14:01.820><c> doing?</c>

00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:04.299
And<00:14:02.860><c> don't</c><00:14:03.039><c> forget,</c><00:14:03.320><c> they're</c><00:14:03.539><c> not</c><00:14:03.720><c> wandering</c><00:14:03.960><c> through</c><00:14:04.179><c> the</c>

wilderness<00:14:04.539><c> anymore.</c>

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.080
The<00:14:05.179><c> ark</c><00:14:05.399><c> has</c><00:14:06.159><c> been</c><00:14:06.379><c> brought</c><00:14:06.639><c> into</c><00:14:06.820><c> the</c><00:14:07.059><c> land,</c><00:14:07.320><c> and</c><00:14:07.460><c> eventually</c><00:14:07.799><c> it</c><00:14:07.940><c> ends</c>

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:08.840
up<00:14:08.259><c> at</c><00:14:08.539><c> Shiloh,</c>

00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:10.980
and<00:14:08.919><c> that's</c><00:14:09.080><c> where</c><00:14:09.200><c> we</c><00:14:09.460><c> see</c><00:14:09.600><c> it</c><00:14:09.820><c> in</c><00:14:09.879><c> the</c><00:14:10.120><c> opening</c><00:14:10.379><c> chapters</c><00:14:10.720><c> of</c>

00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:13.679
Samuel<00:14:11.220><c> as</c><00:14:11.419><c> the</c><00:14:11.620><c> Judges</c><00:14:11.940><c> period</c><00:14:12.159><c> comes</c><00:14:12.440><c> to</c><00:14:12.659><c> a</c><00:14:12.799><c> close.</c>

00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:15.779
But<00:14:14.299><c> where</c><00:14:14.559><c> are</c><00:14:14.799><c> they,</c><00:14:15.039><c> brothers</c><00:14:15.159><c> and</c><00:14:15.340><c> sisters?</c>

00:14:16.179 --> 00:14:18.779
In<00:14:16.460><c> fact,</c><00:14:16.840><c> when</c><00:14:17.019><c> we</c><00:14:17.240><c> come</c><00:14:17.419><c> to</c><00:14:17.659><c> Samuel,</c><00:14:18.000><c> it</c><00:14:18.100><c> doesn't</c><00:14:18.360><c> seem</c><00:14:18.620><c> like</c>

00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:19.919
there's<00:14:18.940><c> many</c><00:14:19.200><c> people</c><00:14:19.460><c> there</c><00:14:19.679><c> at</c><00:14:19.799><c> all.</c>

00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:24.740
There's<00:14:20.179><c> Hapni,</c><00:14:20.720><c> and</c><00:14:20.779><c> Phineas,</c><00:14:21.179><c> and</c><00:14:21.360><c> Eli,</c><00:14:23.159><c> and</c><00:14:23.259><c> maybe</c><00:14:23.460><c> a</c><00:14:23.679><c> few</c><00:14:23.799><c> others.</c>

00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.299
So<00:14:25.519><c> it's</c><00:14:25.700><c> pretty</c><00:14:25.879><c> scary,</c><00:14:26.399><c> brothers</c><00:14:26.440><c> and</c><00:14:26.679><c> sisters,</c><00:14:26.899><c> that</c><00:14:27.039><c> this</c>

00:14:27.299 --> 00:14:30.059
whole<00:14:27.899><c> importance</c><00:14:28.399><c> of</c><00:14:28.700><c> holiness</c><00:14:29.000><c> seems</c><00:14:29.379><c> to</c><00:14:29.539><c> be</c><00:14:29.720><c> gone,</c>

00:14:30.220 --> 00:14:36.379
and<00:14:30.440><c> that</c><00:14:31.000><c> you</c><00:14:31.559><c> can</c><00:14:32.100><c> do</c><00:14:32.279><c> this</c><00:14:32.559><c> amazing</c><00:14:33.460><c> kind</c><00:14:33.759><c> of</c><00:14:34.679><c> broad</c><00:14:35.120><c> understanding</c><00:14:35.659><c> of</c><00:14:35.919><c> Levi</c><00:14:36.139><c> in</c>

00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:36.820
the<00:14:36.480><c> Scriptures.</c>

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:41.460
When<00:14:37.580><c> Levi</c><00:14:37.940><c> is</c><00:14:38.240><c> present</c><00:14:38.460><c> and</c><00:14:38.740><c> active,</c><00:14:39.480><c> the</c><00:14:39.720><c> nation</c><00:14:40.080><c> is</c><00:14:40.299><c> on</c><00:14:40.600><c> track.</c>

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:44.779
When<00:14:41.860><c> teachers</c><00:14:42.320><c> are</c><00:14:42.559><c> there</c><00:14:42.759><c> teaching</c><00:14:43.080><c> the</c><00:14:43.460><c> truth</c><00:14:43.779><c> and</c><00:14:44.179><c> encouraging</c><00:14:44.580><c> their</c>

00:14:44.779 --> 00:14:46.419
brothers<00:14:44.960><c> and</c><00:14:45.139><c> sisters</c><00:14:45.360><c> in</c><00:14:45.639><c> serving</c><00:14:45.860><c> each</c><00:14:46.159><c> other,</c>

00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:48.720
the<00:14:46.899><c> truth</c><00:14:47.360><c> is</c><00:14:48.139><c> going</c><00:14:48.320><c> well.</c>

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.320
But<00:14:49.159><c> when</c><00:14:49.500><c> Levi</c><00:14:49.700><c> drops</c><00:14:50.080><c> out</c><00:14:50.240><c> of</c><00:14:50.320><c> the</c><00:14:50.500><c> scene,</c><00:14:50.720><c> you</c><00:14:50.720><c> get</c><00:14:51.019><c> periods</c>

00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.179
like<00:14:51.539><c> the</c><00:14:51.740><c> Judges</c><00:14:52.039><c> come</c><00:14:52.279><c> along,</c>

00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.000
when<00:14:53.740><c> everyone's</c><00:14:54.179><c> doing</c><00:14:54.460><c> whatever</c><00:14:54.860><c> they</c><00:14:55.159><c> think</c><00:14:55.299><c> is</c><00:14:55.539><c> right</c><00:14:55.659><c> and</c><00:14:55.799><c> no</c>

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.360
one's<00:14:56.279><c> teaching</c><00:14:56.620><c> as</c><00:14:56.980><c> they</c><00:14:57.159><c> should</c><00:14:57.340><c> be.</c>

00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:00.899
So<00:14:58.919><c> there's</c><00:14:59.320><c> a</c><00:14:59.399><c> big</c><00:14:59.620><c> change</c><00:14:59.980><c> when</c><00:15:00.100><c> they</c><00:15:00.279><c> come</c><00:15:00.419><c> into</c><00:15:00.659><c> the</c><00:15:00.759><c> land.</c>

00:15:01.100 --> 00:15:03.259
They're<00:15:01.299><c> obviously</c><00:15:01.639><c> not</c><00:15:02.059><c> gathered</c><00:15:02.320><c> all</c><00:15:02.679><c> around</c><00:15:02.899><c> the</c><00:15:03.100><c> ark,</c>

00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.779
some<00:15:03.539><c> are,</c><00:15:03.720><c> but</c><00:15:03.840><c> they're</c><00:15:04.080><c> scattered</c><00:15:04.419><c> through</c><00:15:04.700><c> the</c><00:15:04.899><c> land,</c>

00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:08.440
serving<00:15:06.220><c> in</c><00:15:06.399><c> their</c><00:15:06.559><c> villages</c><00:15:06.840><c> and</c><00:15:07.139><c> towns,</c><00:15:07.460><c> and</c><00:15:07.899><c> maybe</c><00:15:08.200><c> a</c><00:15:08.259><c> lot</c>

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:08.919
of<00:15:08.659><c> people,</c>

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.539
a<00:15:09.259><c> lot</c><00:15:09.480><c> of</c><00:15:09.659><c> Levites</c><00:15:09.940><c> lost</c><00:15:10.340><c> sight</c><00:15:10.559><c> of</c><00:15:10.700><c> their</c><00:15:10.899><c> job</c><00:15:11.399><c> and</c><00:15:11.960><c> lost</c><00:15:12.240><c> sight</c><00:15:12.440><c> of</c>

00:15:12.539 --> 00:15:14.299
what<00:15:12.639><c> they</c><00:15:12.799><c> were</c><00:15:12.919><c> meant</c><00:15:13.039><c> to</c><00:15:13.220><c> do.</c>

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:19.559
But<00:15:14.860><c> then</c><00:15:15.840><c> you</c><00:15:16.000><c> come</c><00:15:16.519><c> to</c><00:15:16.820><c> the</c><00:15:16.899><c> book</c><00:15:17.039><c> of</c><00:15:17.279><c> Samuel.</c><00:15:17.759><c> Let's</c><00:15:17.980><c> come</c><00:15:18.200><c> there.</c>

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:24.299
Here's<00:15:21.759><c> the</c><00:15:21.980><c> period</c><00:15:22.419><c> where</c><00:15:22.779><c> Judges</c><00:15:23.220><c> ends.</c>

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:34.080

00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:37.919
and<00:15:34.299><c> hopefully,</c><00:15:35.059><c> especially</c><00:15:35.460><c> the</c><00:15:35.779><c> sisters,</c><00:15:36.519><c> just</c><00:15:36.759><c> this</c><00:15:37.039><c> morning,</c>

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.720

00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:47.240
When<00:15:43.899><c> you</c><00:15:44.080><c> come</c><00:15:44.299><c> to</c><00:15:44.440><c> the</c><00:15:44.519><c> book</c><00:15:44.720><c> of</c><00:15:45.000><c> Samuel,</c><00:15:46.279><c> it</c><00:15:46.580><c> starts</c><00:15:46.799><c> off</c><00:15:47.080><c> in</c>

And<00:22:34.380><c> I</c><00:22:34.519><c> think</c><00:22:34.740><c> God</c><00:22:35.019><c> will</c><00:22:35.339><c> actually</c><00:22:35.759><c> open</c><00:22:36.099><c> doors</c><00:22:36.440><c> and</c><00:22:36.720><c> do</c><00:22:36.880><c> things.</c>

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.940
And<00:22:37.740><c> classic</c><00:22:38.180><c> case</c><00:22:38.460><c> is</c><00:22:38.700><c> Hannah.</c>

00:22:39.420 --> 00:22:41.720
I<00:22:39.440><c> mean,</c><00:22:39.819><c> who</c><00:22:39.920><c> would</c><00:22:40.079><c> have</c><00:22:40.240><c> ever</c><00:22:40.539><c> thought</c><00:22:40.819><c> she'd</c><00:22:41.099><c> be</c><00:22:41.259><c> behind</c>

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.400
But<00:22:45.140><c> it</c><00:22:45.240><c> was</c><00:22:45.579><c> simply</c><00:22:45.859><c> because</c><00:22:46.259><c> she</c><00:22:46.460><c> was</c><00:22:46.740><c> praying</c><00:22:47.019><c> hard</c><00:22:47.339><c> to</c><00:22:47.519><c> God.</c>

00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:50.700
And<00:22:49.000><c> that's</c><00:22:49.279><c> a</c><00:22:49.299><c> beautiful</c><00:22:49.680><c> thing.</c>

00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:55.059

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:16.759

00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:34.579
That's<00:30:30.640><c> why</c><00:30:30.740><c> we</c><00:30:30.900><c> take</c><00:30:31.099><c> all</c><00:30:31.420><c> those</c><00:30:31.660><c> duties</c><00:30:32.039><c> so</c><00:30:33.200><c> seriously.</c>

00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:34.259
They're<00:31:31.900><c> almost</c><00:31:32.180><c> completely</c><00:31:33.019><c> missing</c><00:31:33.579><c> from</c><00:31:33.799><c> the</c><00:31:33.960><c> record</c><00:31:34.119><c> of</c>

the<00:31:34.400><c> kings.</c>

00:31:35.099 --> 00:31:37.240
Now,<00:31:35.279><c> that</c><00:31:35.420><c> is</c><00:31:35.640><c> crazy</c><00:31:36.160><c> when</c><00:31:36.460><c> you</c><00:31:36.599><c> think</c><00:31:36.759><c> about</c><00:31:36.940><c> it.</c>

00:31:37.259 --> 00:31:39.099
In<00:31:37.380><c> fact,</c><00:31:37.799><c> I'll</c><00:31:38.000><c> put</c><00:31:38.200><c> a</c><00:31:38.339><c> little</c><00:31:38.519><c> chart</c><00:31:38.640><c> on</c><00:31:38.819><c> the</c><00:31:38.940><c> board.</c>

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:41.779
This<00:31:39.599><c> is</c><00:31:39.839><c> a</c><00:31:40.000><c> handout</c><00:31:40.259><c> I've</c><00:31:40.740><c> got</c><00:31:40.819><c> up</c><00:31:40.960><c> here</c><00:31:41.099><c> for</c><00:31:41.259><c> you</c><00:31:41.440><c> after,</c>

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:44.539
so<00:31:42.140><c> don't</c><00:31:42.339><c> worry</c><00:31:42.539><c> about</c><00:31:42.680><c> it.</c><00:31:42.819><c> I</c><00:31:42.819><c> just</c><00:31:42.960><c> want</c><00:31:43.019><c> you</c><00:31:43.160><c> to</c><00:31:43.339><c> soak</c><00:31:43.480><c> this</c><00:31:43.700><c> in.</c>

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:48.880
Here's<00:31:45.420><c> how</c><00:31:45.859><c> the</c><00:31:46.279><c> Samuel</c><00:31:47.160><c> Chronicles</c><00:31:47.720><c> and</c><00:31:48.079><c> kings</c><00:31:48.339><c> all</c><00:31:48.720><c> sort</c>

00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:51.079
of<00:31:49.180><c> overlap</c><00:31:49.460><c> in</c><00:31:49.720><c> time</c><00:31:49.900><c> periods,</c><00:31:50.180><c> okay?</c>

00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:55.480
Samuel<00:31:51.559><c> has</c><00:31:51.859><c> a</c><00:31:51.960><c> reference</c><00:31:52.359><c> to</c><00:31:52.700><c> the</c><00:31:52.759><c> Levite</c><00:31:53.039><c> here</c><00:31:53.480><c> when</c><00:31:54.039><c> the</c><00:31:54.319><c> ark</c><00:31:54.460><c> returns</c><00:31:54.900><c> to</c><00:31:55.160><c> Israel.</c>

00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:58.000
Samuel<00:31:56.400><c> then</c><00:31:56.640><c> has</c><00:31:56.940><c> a</c><00:31:57.099><c> reference</c><00:31:57.319><c> to</c><00:31:57.619><c> the</c><00:31:57.740><c> Levites</c>

00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:00.960
when<00:31:58.259><c> they</c><00:31:58.539><c> bring</c><00:31:58.920><c> the</c><00:31:59.140><c> ark</c><00:31:59.240><c> out</c><00:31:59.559><c> when</c><00:31:59.779><c> David</c><00:32:00.039><c> flees</c><00:32:00.380><c> from</c><00:32:00.619><c> Absinthe.</c>

00:32:01.019 --> 00:32:02.759
That's<00:32:01.299><c> only</c><00:32:01.640><c> two</c><00:32:01.839><c> in</c><00:32:02.039><c> all</c><00:32:02.299><c> of</c><00:32:02.539><c> Samuel.</c>

00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:05.720
And<00:32:03.119><c> in</c><00:32:03.319><c> fact,</c><00:32:03.619><c> we've</c><00:32:03.759><c> already</c><00:32:04.160><c> seen</c><00:32:04.559><c> that</c><00:32:04.960><c> Samuel</c><00:32:05.200><c> goes</c><00:32:05.500><c> out</c>

00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:06.220
of<00:32:05.819><c> its</c><00:32:06.039><c> way</c>

00:32:09.539 --> 00:32:13.839
When<00:32:09.680><c> we</c><00:32:09.900><c> come</c><00:32:10.039><c> to</c><00:32:10.220><c> the</c><00:32:10.359><c> kings,</c><00:32:12.079><c> there's</c><00:32:12.539><c> two</c><00:32:12.839><c> references</c><00:32:13.180><c> to</c><00:32:13.460><c> Levites.</c>

00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:16.420
One<00:32:14.279><c> is</c><00:32:14.480><c> when</c><00:32:14.599><c> they're</c><00:32:14.839><c> carrying</c><00:32:14.980><c> the</c><00:32:15.200><c> ark</c><00:32:15.339><c> into</c><00:32:15.519><c> the</c><00:32:15.680><c> temple.</c>

00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:21.160
The<00:32:17.220><c> other</c><00:32:17.519><c> one</c><00:32:18.019><c> is</c><00:32:19.119><c> in</c><00:32:19.279><c> 1</c><00:32:19.440><c> Kings</c><00:32:19.579><c> 12,</c><00:32:20.420><c> and</c><00:32:20.519><c> it's</c><00:32:20.720><c> a</c><00:32:20.900><c> reference</c>

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:22.339
that<00:32:21.480><c> says,</c>

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:23.220
Jeroboam<00:32:22.940><c> said,</c>

00:32:23.460 --> 00:32:26.400
Forget<00:32:23.680><c> the</c><00:32:23.900><c> sons</c><00:32:24.099><c> of</c><00:32:24.319><c> Levi.</c><00:32:24.660><c> I'm</c><00:32:24.799><c> choosing</c><00:32:25.079><c> my</c><00:32:25.319><c> own</c><00:32:25.539><c> priests.</c>

00:32:26.819 --> 00:32:28.019
And<00:32:26.940><c> he</c><00:32:27.059><c> says,</c><00:32:27.359><c> I</c><00:32:27.400><c> don't</c><00:32:27.599><c> need</c><00:32:27.740><c> Levi.</c>

00:32:28.299 --> 00:32:31.900
I'm<00:32:28.500><c> going</c><00:32:28.559><c> to</c><00:32:28.599><c> do</c><00:32:28.720><c> my</c><00:32:28.880><c> own</c><00:32:29.099><c> thing</c><00:32:29.299><c> with</c><00:32:29.660><c> my</c><00:32:29.980><c> calves</c><00:32:30.279><c> at</c><00:32:31.099><c> Bethel</c>

00:32:31.900 --> 00:32:33.019
and<00:32:32.140><c> so</c><00:32:32.359><c> on.</c>

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:35.799
Now,<00:32:33.519><c> brothers</c><00:32:33.619><c> and</c><00:32:33.779><c> sisters,</c><00:32:34.079><c> something</c><00:32:34.599><c> must</c><00:32:34.900><c> be</c><00:32:35.160><c> happening</c><00:32:35.359><c> here.</c>

00:32:36.099 --> 00:32:39.980
Why<00:32:36.319><c> is</c><00:32:36.579><c> it</c><00:32:37.000><c> that</c><00:32:37.160><c> up</c><00:32:37.380><c> here</c><00:32:37.880><c> in</c><00:32:38.259><c> 1</c><00:32:38.480><c> Chronicles</c><00:32:38.839><c> 2,</c><00:32:39.180><c> 6,</c><00:32:39.480><c> 9,</c><00:32:39.759><c> 12,</c>

00:32:46.660 --> 00:32:47.279
is<00:32:46.839><c> mentioned,</c>

00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:50.759
and<00:32:47.720><c> it's</c><00:32:48.059><c> almost</c><00:32:48.380><c> completely</c><00:32:49.119><c> silent</c><00:32:49.599><c> in</c><00:32:49.779><c> the</c><00:32:49.940><c> kings?</c>

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:55.980
That<00:32:51.680><c> is</c><00:32:51.900><c> a</c><00:32:52.160><c> striking</c><00:32:53.160><c> observation</c><00:32:54.180><c> that</c><00:32:54.579><c> comes</c><00:32:54.799><c> out</c><00:32:54.940><c> of</c><00:32:55.039><c> the</c><00:32:55.140><c> record.</c>

00:32:56.539 --> 00:32:59.400
But<00:32:56.559><c> you</c><00:32:56.700><c> see,</c><00:32:57.279><c> when</c><00:32:57.339><c> you</c><00:32:57.660><c> start</c><00:32:57.880><c> thinking</c><00:32:58.099><c> about</c><00:32:58.319><c> this,</c>

00:32:59.500 --> 00:33:01.319
there<00:32:59.559><c> must</c><00:32:59.759><c> be</c><00:33:00.000><c> something</c><00:33:00.299><c> that's</c><00:33:00.579><c> going</c><00:33:00.759><c> on</c><00:33:01.019><c> in</c><00:33:01.160><c> the</c>

00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:02.059
Chronicles<00:33:01.619><c> record,</c>

00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:04.480
and<00:33:02.440><c> this</c><00:33:02.640><c> ties</c><00:33:02.799><c> into</c><00:33:03.039><c> our</c><00:33:03.200><c> next</c><00:33:03.460><c> class,</c><00:33:03.700><c> God</c><00:33:03.819><c> willing,</c><00:33:04.079><c> as</c><00:33:04.240><c> well.</c>

00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:06.839
But<00:33:05.019><c> here's</c><00:33:05.319><c> something</c><00:33:05.619><c> else</c><00:33:06.000><c> that's</c><00:33:06.279><c> just</c><00:33:06.500><c> fascinating</c>

00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:09.140
as<00:33:07.079><c> we</c><00:33:07.319><c> just</c><00:33:07.599><c> begin</c><00:33:07.799><c> to</c><00:33:08.000><c> build</c><00:33:08.079><c> this</c><00:33:08.319><c> picture.</c>

00:33:09.339 --> 00:33:12.019
That<00:33:09.500><c> made</c><00:33:09.680><c> me</c><00:33:09.880><c> think,</c><00:33:10.539><c> it</c><00:33:10.700><c> was</c><00:33:10.839><c> on</c><00:33:11.039><c> 11,</c><00:33:11.400><c> I</c><00:33:11.420><c> can</c><00:33:11.660><c> distinctly,</c>

00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:13.259
I<00:33:12.099><c> hope</c><00:33:12.160><c> you</c><00:33:12.240><c> don't</c><00:33:12.359><c> want</c><00:33:12.420><c> me</c><00:33:12.599><c> to</c><00:33:12.599><c> tell</c><00:33:12.680><c> you</c><00:33:12.799><c> this</c><00:33:12.900><c> little</c><00:33:13.079><c> story,</c>

00:33:13.460 --> 00:33:15.400
because<00:33:13.779><c> this</c><00:33:14.000><c> is</c><00:33:14.099><c> how</c><00:33:14.259><c> Bible</c><00:33:14.440><c> study</c><00:33:14.619><c> goes.</c>

00:33:15.460 --> 00:33:19.059
It's<00:33:15.859><c> so</c><00:33:15.859><c> exciting</c><00:33:17.039><c> at</c><00:33:17.299><c> times</c><00:33:17.579><c> and</c><00:33:17.859><c> practical</c><00:33:18.299><c> when</c><00:33:18.500><c> you</c><00:33:18.640><c> start</c><00:33:18.779><c> to</c><00:33:18.960><c> see</c>

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:20.160

00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:22.420
I<00:33:20.420><c> was</c><00:33:20.579><c> at</c><00:33:20.980><c> my</c><00:33:21.240><c> desk,</c><00:33:21.460><c> it</c><00:33:21.460><c> was</c><00:33:21.640><c> 11</c><00:33:21.880><c>.30</c><00:33:22.099><c> at</c><00:33:22.319><c> night,</c>

00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:26.740
it<00:33:24.839><c> was</c><00:33:25.259><c> my</c><00:33:25.700><c> principal,</c><00:33:26.240><c> Uncle</c><00:33:26.480><c> Andrew,</c>

and<00:33:26.940><c> I</c><00:33:27.079><c> was</c><00:33:27.160><c> like,</c><00:33:27.299><c> have</c><00:33:27.440><c> you</c><00:33:27.539><c> ever</c><00:33:27.759><c> noticed</c><00:33:28.019><c> this?</c>

So<00:33:29.380><c> we</c><00:33:29.480><c> were</c><00:33:29.640><c> chatting</c><00:33:29.839><c> about</c><00:33:30.059><c> it,</c>

00:33:30.700 --> 00:33:33.579

00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:47.279
It<00:33:45.000><c> is</c><00:33:45.339><c> not</c><00:33:45.559><c> just</c><00:33:45.819><c> another</c><00:33:46.259><c> recount</c><00:33:46.660><c> of</c><00:33:46.859><c> the</c><00:33:47.039><c> kings,</c>

00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:58.799
it<00:33:56.619><c> is</c><00:33:57.160><c> absolutely</c><00:33:57.819><c> focused</c><00:33:58.299><c> on</c><00:33:58.559><c> Levi.</c>

00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:00.319
Now,<00:33:59.160><c> don't</c><00:33:59.339><c> write</c><00:33:59.519><c> these</c><00:33:59.740><c> down,</c><00:34:00.019><c> right?</c>

00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:02.140
Because<00:34:00.640><c> I</c><00:34:00.960><c> have</c><00:34:01.140><c> this</c><00:34:01.420><c> chart</c><00:34:01.660><c> here,</c>

00:34:02.420 --> 00:34:04.019
I'm<00:34:02.640><c> going</c><00:34:02.640><c> to</c><00:34:02.700><c> give</c><00:34:02.859><c> you</c><00:34:03.000><c> with</c><00:34:03.200><c> all</c><00:34:03.420><c> the</c><00:34:03.640><c> unique</c><00:34:03.799><c> things</c>

00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.019

So<00:34:08.199><c> don't</c><00:34:08.460><c> worry.</c>

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:10.719
But<00:34:09.480><c> it's</c><00:34:09.679><c> just</c><00:34:09.860><c> exciting.</c>

00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.820
So<00:34:11.179><c> you</c><00:34:11.360><c> read</c><00:34:11.539><c> through</c><00:34:11.760><c> Chronicles,</c><00:34:12.320><c> this</c><00:34:12.559><c> is</c><00:34:12.719><c> what</c><00:34:12.780><c> you</c><00:34:13.059><c> find.</c>

00:34:13.980 --> 00:34:15.940
It's<00:34:14.380><c> focusing</c><00:34:14.739><c> on</c><00:34:15.019><c> Levites,</c><00:34:15.480><c> that's</c><00:34:15.780><c> one.</c>

00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:29.840
They<00:35:27.659><c> think,</c><00:35:27.880><c> oh,</c><00:35:28.579><c> and</c><00:35:28.780><c> so</c><00:35:28.900><c> and</c><00:35:29.019><c> so</c><00:35:29.239><c> and</c><00:35:29.239><c> so</c><00:35:29.440><c> and</c><00:35:29.519><c> so</c><00:35:29.619><c> and</c><00:35:29.619><c> so</c>

and<00:35:32.840><c> I</c><00:35:32.960><c> hope</c><00:35:33.079><c> from</c><00:35:33.340><c> today</c><00:35:33.679><c> forward</c><00:35:34.019><c> you</c><00:35:34.159><c> will</c><00:35:34.400><c> love</c><00:35:34.599><c> those</c><00:35:34.900><c> genealogies.</c>

00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:39.260
And<00:35:37.039><c> here's</c><00:35:37.480><c> the</c><00:35:37.659><c> reason</c><00:35:37.860><c> why</c><00:35:38.219><c> Kings</c><00:35:38.440><c> completely</c><00:35:39.059><c> leaves</c>

00:35:39.260 --> 00:35:39.780
them<00:35:39.500><c> out.</c>

00:35:39.780 --> 00:35:45.480
Brothers<00:35:40.079><c> and</c><00:35:40.559><c> sisters,</c><00:35:40.940><c> why</c><00:35:41.280><c> are</c><00:35:41.579><c> the</c><00:35:41.780><c> genealogies</c><00:35:42.480><c> so</c><00:35:43.360><c> important</c><00:35:44.159><c> in</c><00:35:44.500><c> Chronicles?</c>

00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:49.300
And<00:35:45.820><c> the</c><00:35:46.099><c> sole</c><00:35:46.320><c> reason</c><00:35:46.619><c> is</c><00:35:46.940><c> it</c><00:35:47.239><c> focuses</c><00:35:47.679><c> on</c><00:35:47.920><c> the</c><00:35:48.079><c> two</c><00:35:48.239><c> genealogies</c><00:35:48.820><c> of</c><00:35:49.019><c> Levi</c>

00:35:49.300 --> 00:35:49.780
and<00:35:49.559><c> Judah.</c>

00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.519
And<00:35:50.260><c> the</c><00:35:50.559><c> sole</c><00:35:50.780><c> purpose</c><00:35:51.159><c> is,</c><00:35:51.360><c> as</c><00:35:51.420><c> we'll</c><00:35:51.599><c> see</c><00:35:51.719><c> in</c><00:35:51.860><c> the</c><00:35:51.960><c> next</c><00:35:52.139><c> class,</c>

00:35:52.900 --> 00:35:55.639
is<00:35:53.039><c> because</c><00:35:53.360><c> you</c><00:35:53.579><c> could</c><00:35:53.900><c> not</c><00:35:54.139><c> be</c><00:35:54.360><c> a</c><00:35:54.480><c> Levi</c><00:35:54.699><c> or</c><00:35:54.940><c> a</c><00:35:55.139><c> priest</c><00:35:55.360><c> unless</c>

00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:58.260
you<00:35:55.880><c> were</c><00:35:56.059><c> recorded</c><00:35:56.559><c> in</c><00:35:56.980><c> a</c><00:35:57.179><c> proper</c><00:35:57.500><c> genealogy.</c>

00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:01.840
So<00:35:58.800><c> even</c><00:35:59.400><c> the</c><00:35:59.679><c> genealogies,</c><00:36:00.579><c> brothers</c><00:36:00.659><c> and</c><00:36:00.940><c> sisters,</c><00:36:01.460><c> are</c><00:36:01.659><c> at</c>

00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:03.699
the<00:36:02.139><c> heart</c><00:36:02.380><c> of</c><00:36:02.760><c> religious</c><00:36:03.099><c> reform.</c>

00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:05.659
That's<00:36:04.340><c> why</c><00:36:04.539><c> they're</c><00:36:04.780><c> in</c><00:36:05.000><c> Chronicles.</c>

00:36:06.019 --> 00:36:08.599
Because<00:36:06.539><c> people</c><00:36:06.980><c> said,</c><00:36:07.400><c> we're</c><00:36:07.500><c> going</c><00:36:07.599><c> to</c><00:36:07.760><c> do</c><00:36:07.940><c> it</c><00:36:08.179><c> right</c><00:36:08.340><c> like</c>

00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:09.380
Moses<00:36:09.019><c> said.</c>

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:12.039
And<00:36:09.800><c> to</c><00:36:09.960><c> do</c><00:36:10.139><c> that</c><00:36:10.360><c> they</c><00:36:10.539><c> had</c><00:36:10.820><c> to</c><00:36:10.960><c> have</c><00:36:11.099><c> the</c><00:36:11.320><c> genealogies.</c>

00:36:12.139 --> 00:36:14.539
So<00:36:12.340><c> don't</c><00:36:12.639><c> despise</c><00:36:13.059><c> the</c><00:36:13.260><c> genealogies,</c><00:36:14.420><c> right?</c>

00:36:14.539 --> 00:36:17.420
They're<00:36:14.900><c> absolutely</c><00:36:15.400><c> critical</c><00:36:15.880><c> to</c><00:36:16.260><c> religious</c><00:36:16.599><c> reform</c><00:36:17.079><c> under</c>

00:36:17.420 --> 00:36:19.280
David<00:36:17.860><c> and</c><00:36:18.300><c> the</c><00:36:18.480><c> others.</c>

00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.380
It's<00:36:19.880><c> interesting</c><00:36:20.219><c> that</c><00:36:20.480><c> Chronicles</c><00:36:20.880><c> over</c><00:36:21.440><c> and</c><00:36:21.739><c> over</c><00:36:22.159><c> and</c>

00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:23.860
over<00:36:22.800><c> and</c><00:36:22.980><c> over</c><00:36:23.440><c> again</c>

00:36:23.860 --> 00:36:25.840
says<00:36:24.260><c> we're</c><00:36:24.500><c> going</c><00:36:24.619><c> to</c><00:36:24.739><c> do</c><00:36:24.840><c> it</c><00:36:24.960><c> like</c><00:36:25.139><c> Moses,</c><00:36:25.519><c> we're</c><00:36:25.619><c> going</c><00:36:25.760><c> to</c>

00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:26.800
do<00:36:25.960><c> it</c><00:36:26.079><c> like</c><00:36:26.219><c> Samuel</c><00:36:26.599><c> said,</c>

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:28.420
we're<00:36:27.179><c> going</c><00:36:27.300><c> to</c><00:36:27.360><c> do</c><00:36:27.500><c> it</c><00:36:27.639><c> like</c><00:36:27.820><c> David</c><00:36:28.099><c> said.</c>

00:36:28.900 --> 00:36:30.420
That's<00:36:29.219><c> not</c><00:36:29.340><c> in</c><00:36:29.480><c> the</c><00:36:29.639><c> Kings.</c>

00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:32.719
So<00:36:30.800><c> there's</c><00:36:31.019><c> this</c><00:36:31.159><c> emphasis</c><00:36:31.500><c> in</c><00:36:31.699><c> Chronicles</c><00:36:32.019><c> on</c><00:36:32.219><c> going</c><00:36:32.400><c> back</c>

00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:35.639
to<00:36:32.900><c> the</c><00:36:33.079><c> basics</c><00:36:33.380><c> of</c><00:36:33.559><c> what</c><00:36:33.719><c> God</c><00:36:33.960><c> originally</c><00:36:34.360><c> told</c><00:36:34.579><c> us</c><00:36:34.780><c> to</c><00:36:34.980><c> do.</c>

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:39.320
Brothers<00:36:36.519><c> and</c><00:36:36.719><c> sisters,</c><00:36:37.260><c> probably</c><00:36:37.519><c> this</c><00:36:37.699><c> isn't</c><00:36:37.880><c> overwhelming</c><00:36:38.300><c> but</c><00:36:38.619><c> I'll</c><00:36:38.940><c> just</c><00:36:39.039><c> soak</c><00:36:39.179><c> it</c>

00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:40.619
in<00:36:39.440><c> for</c><00:36:39.579><c> a</c><00:36:39.599><c> second.</c>

00:36:41.159 --> 00:36:43.039
Here's<00:36:41.400><c> something</c><00:36:41.679><c> else</c><00:36:41.920><c> that</c><00:36:41.980><c> comes</c><00:36:42.179><c> out.</c>

00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.119
First<00:36:43.519><c> Chronicles,</c><00:36:44.619><c> this</c><00:36:44.900><c> is</c><00:36:45.059><c> what</c><00:36:45.219><c> you</c><00:36:45.539><c> read</c><00:36:45.840><c> through</c>

00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:48.599
and<00:36:46.360><c> you</c><00:36:46.480><c> notice</c><00:36:46.619><c> this</c><00:36:46.820><c> little</c><00:36:47.039><c> phrase</c><00:36:47.380><c> that</c><00:36:47.559><c> this</c><00:36:47.780><c> king</c><00:36:48.099><c> sought</c><00:36:48.400><c> the</c>

00:36:52.579 --> 00:36:54.920
That's<00:36:52.880><c> in,</c><00:36:53.260><c> well,</c><00:36:53.860><c> on</c><00:36:54.019><c> your</c><00:36:54.159><c> handout</c><00:36:54.300><c> it</c><00:36:54.460><c> gives</c><00:36:54.539><c> you</c><00:36:54.659><c> all</c><00:36:54.760><c> the</c>

00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:59.159
Continually<00:36:56.960><c> we're</c><00:36:57.199><c> told</c><00:36:57.420><c> in</c><00:36:57.679><c> Chronicles</c><00:36:58.159><c> that</c><00:36:58.619><c> this</c><00:36:58.860><c> person</c>

00:37:04.099 --> 00:37:09.440
that<00:37:04.599><c> phrase</c><00:37:05.039><c> seeking</c><00:37:05.400><c> the</c><00:37:05.659><c> Lord</c><00:37:05.900><c> is</c><00:37:06.360><c> never</c><00:37:07.019><c> not</c><00:37:07.619><c> once</c><00:37:08.039><c> any</c><00:37:08.579><c> time</c><00:37:08.820><c> recorded</c><00:37:09.219><c> in</c>

00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:13.760
And<00:37:10.980><c> it's</c><00:37:11.199><c> all</c><00:37:11.480><c> the</c><00:37:11.579><c> way</c><00:37:11.719><c> through</c><00:37:11.940><c> Chronicles</c><00:37:12.440><c> that</c><00:37:12.780><c> this</c><00:37:13.039><c> king</c><00:37:13.219><c> decided</c><00:37:13.559><c> to</c>

the<00:37:16.659><c> Kings.</c>

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:18.900
It's<00:37:17.739><c> all</c><00:37:17.940><c> the</c><00:37:18.039><c> way</c><00:37:18.139><c> through</c><00:37:18.320><c> Chronicles.</c>

00:37:23.300 --> 00:37:24.900

00:37:25.300 --> 00:37:28.039

00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:31.440
