And<00:00:00.480><c> so</c><00:00:00.880><c> I</c><00:00:01.600><c> was</c><00:00:01.840><c> kind</c><00:00:02.020><c> of</c><00:00:02.100><c> thinking</c><00:00:02.319><c> about,</c><00:00:02.759><c> OK,</c><00:00:02.759><c> what</c><00:00:03.060><c> am</c><00:00:03.200><c> I</c><00:00:03.279><c> going</c><00:00:03.399><c> to</c>

00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:04.200
do<00:00:03.620><c> next?</c>

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:05.339
Beep<00:00:04.620><c>-bop,</c><00:00:04.719><c> beep</c><00:00:05.040><c>-bop.</c>

00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:07.040
And<00:00:05.960><c> I'm</c><00:00:06.580><c> like,</c><00:00:06.700><c> you</c><00:00:06.820><c> know</c><00:00:06.940><c> what?</c>

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:13.019
I<00:00:07.160><c> want</c><00:00:07.419><c> to</c><00:00:07.639><c> do</c><00:00:07.900><c> something</c><00:00:08.439><c> on</c><00:00:10.019><c> David</c><00:00:11.779><c> and</c><00:00:12.099><c> the</c><00:00:12.480><c> establishment</c>

00:00:13.019 --> 00:00:13.880
of<00:00:13.320><c> the</c><00:00:13.560><c> kingdom</c>

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.199
and<00:00:14.000><c> how</c><00:00:14.240><c> that</c><00:00:14.519><c> happened</c><00:00:14.720><c> and</c><00:00:14.859><c> some</c><00:00:15.080><c> of</c><00:00:15.160><c> the</c><00:00:15.400><c> political</c><00:00:15.839><c> issues</c>

00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.339
that<00:00:16.399><c> were</c><00:00:16.539><c> going</c><00:00:16.820><c> on</c><00:00:17.019><c> at</c><00:00:17.239><c> that</c><00:00:17.480><c> time.</c>

00:00:18.899 --> 00:00:21.260
So<00:00:19.199><c> that's</c><00:00:19.839><c> where</c><00:00:20.039><c> we're</c><00:00:20.339><c> headed,</c><00:00:20.620><c> anyways.</c>

00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:23.559
Not<00:00:21.980><c> this</c><00:00:22.320><c> week,</c><00:00:22.480><c> but</c><00:00:22.620><c> the</c><00:00:22.859><c> following</c><00:00:23.219><c> week.</c>

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.140
But<00:00:24.280><c> I</c><00:00:24.620><c> just</c><00:00:24.839><c> wanted</c><00:00:25.000><c> to</c><00:00:25.199><c> kind</c><00:00:25.320><c> of</c><00:00:25.460><c> set</c><00:00:25.699><c> the</c><00:00:26.039><c> stage</c><00:00:26.539><c> with</c><00:00:26.920><c> Saul.</c>

00:00:27.140 --> 00:00:30.640
We<00:00:27.300><c> may</c><00:00:27.559><c> know</c><00:00:27.820><c> this</c><00:00:28.059><c> story,</c><00:00:28.339><c> I</c><00:00:28.440><c> think</c><00:00:28.679><c> probably</c><00:00:29.019><c> inside</c><00:00:29.539><c> and</c><00:00:29.719><c> out.</c>

00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.000
But<00:00:31.000><c> I</c><00:00:31.160><c> think</c><00:00:31.280><c> it's</c><00:00:31.559><c> a</c><00:00:31.780><c> fascinating</c><00:00:32.399><c> time</c><00:00:32.899><c> in</c><00:00:33.100><c> Israel's</c><00:00:33.700><c> history.</c>

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:40.100
And<00:00:34.420><c> it</c><00:00:34.539><c> has</c><00:00:34.799><c> some</c><00:00:35.780><c> really</c><00:00:37.780><c> strong</c><00:00:38.780><c> lessons</c><00:00:39.320><c> for</c><00:00:39.679><c> us</c>

00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:43.240
on<00:00:40.299><c> how</c><00:00:40.479><c> to</c><00:00:40.719><c> deal</c><00:00:40.979><c> with</c><00:00:41.479><c> maybe</c><00:00:41.960><c> trials</c><00:00:42.359><c> and</c><00:00:42.640><c> tribulations,</c>

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.759
how<00:00:43.460><c> to</c><00:00:43.679><c> deal</c><00:00:43.840><c> with</c><00:00:44.060><c> each</c><00:00:44.299><c> other,</c><00:00:44.820><c> how</c><00:00:45.020><c> to</c><00:00:45.240><c> deal</c><00:00:45.420><c> with</c>

00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:47.539
difficult<00:00:46.219><c> situations.</c>

00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:49.500
And<00:00:48.299><c> Paul</c><00:00:48.460><c> talks</c><00:00:48.780><c> about</c><00:00:49.039><c> this,</c><00:00:49.380><c> right?</c>

00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:50.659
They<00:00:49.659><c> were</c><00:00:49.799><c> written</c><00:00:49.960><c> for</c><00:00:50.259><c> our</c><00:00:50.460><c> learning.</c>

00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:52.719
All<00:00:50.960><c> of</c><00:00:51.119><c> these</c><00:00:51.380><c> stories</c><00:00:51.799><c> that</c><00:00:52.020><c> were</c><00:00:52.219><c> written</c><00:00:52.420><c> down,</c>

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.880
they<00:00:52.799><c> were</c><00:00:52.939><c> written</c><00:00:53.119><c> for</c><00:00:53.439><c> us</c><00:00:53.820><c> to</c><00:00:54.200><c> guide</c><00:00:54.520><c> us</c><00:00:55.880><c> into</c><00:00:56.579><c> the</c><00:00:56.859><c> path</c><00:00:57.560><c> of</c><00:00:57.880><c> salvation.</c>

00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:04.460
And<00:00:59.280><c> so</c><00:00:59.460><c> we</c><00:00:59.799><c> look</c><00:01:00.039><c> at</c><00:01:00.320><c> Saul</c><00:01:00.659><c> as</c><00:01:01.020><c> somebody</c><00:01:01.479><c> that</c><00:01:02.020><c> had</c><00:01:02.859><c> great</c><00:01:03.299><c> potential.</c>

00:01:04.780 --> 00:01:05.840
He<00:01:04.879><c> had</c><00:01:05.060><c> great</c><00:01:05.340><c> potential.</c>

00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.040
But<00:01:06.079><c> in</c><00:01:06.260><c> the</c><00:01:06.480><c> end,</c><00:01:07.379><c> it</c><00:01:07.579><c> never</c><00:01:08.000><c> materializes.</c>

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.739
There<00:01:09.620><c> were</c><00:01:10.099><c> spots</c><00:01:10.480><c> of</c><00:01:10.840><c> brightness</c><00:01:11.180><c> and</c><00:01:11.519><c> spots</c><00:01:11.840><c> of</c><00:01:12.180><c> greatness,</c><00:01:13.239><c> really.</c>

00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:17.260
But<00:01:14.040><c> in</c><00:01:14.219><c> the</c><00:01:14.439><c> end,</c><00:01:14.879><c> something</c><00:01:15.200><c> that</c><00:01:15.480><c> he</c><00:01:16.159><c> could</c><00:01:16.260><c> have</c><00:01:16.480><c> established</c>

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:21.019
the<00:01:17.579><c> kingdom</c><00:01:18.200><c> of</c><00:01:18.799><c> Israel</c><00:01:19.200><c> in</c><00:01:19.340><c> his</c><00:01:19.560><c> own</c><00:01:19.780><c> house,</c><00:01:20.140><c> in</c><00:01:20.280><c> his</c><00:01:20.439><c> own</c><00:01:20.700><c> name,</c>

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:22.219
but<00:01:21.560><c> it</c><00:01:21.719><c> didn't</c><00:01:21.939><c> happen.</c>

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.340
It<00:01:22.299><c> was</c><00:01:22.480><c> taken</c><00:01:22.799><c> from</c><00:01:23.060><c> him,</c><00:01:23.840><c> as</c><00:01:24.680><c> Samuel</c><00:01:25.099><c> said.</c>

00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:27.620
It<00:01:25.420><c> was</c><00:01:25.560><c> taken</c><00:01:26.019><c> and</c><00:01:26.420><c> given</c><00:01:26.560><c> to</c><00:01:26.859><c> his</c><00:01:27.060><c> neighbor,</c><00:01:27.379><c> someone</c>

00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:29.439
that<00:01:27.760><c> was</c><00:01:27.920><c> better</c><00:01:28.219><c> than</c><00:01:28.420><c> himself.</c>

00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:31.099
So<00:01:30.299><c> we'll</c><00:01:30.480><c> take</c><00:01:30.719><c> a</c><00:01:30.799><c> look</c><00:01:30.939><c> at</c><00:01:31.040><c> it.</c>

00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.159
So<00:01:31.239><c> our</c><00:01:32.239><c> first</c><00:01:32.519><c> class</c><00:01:32.760><c> is</c><00:01:32.959><c> going</c><00:01:33.019><c> to</c><00:01:33.120><c> be</c><00:01:33.239><c> on</c><00:01:33.359><c> the</c><00:01:33.519><c> house</c><00:01:33.719><c> of</c><00:01:33.980><c> Saul,</c>

00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:41.299
a<00:01:34.680><c> very</c><00:01:35.060><c> quick</c><00:01:35.359><c> overview</c><00:01:36.019><c> of</c><00:01:36.340><c> Saul,</c><00:01:38.000><c> how</c><00:01:38.379><c> he</c><00:01:38.640><c> got</c><00:01:39.180><c> into</c><00:01:40.079><c> a</c><00:01:40.219><c> position</c><00:01:40.599><c> of</c><00:01:40.900><c> power,</c>

00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:42.299
and<00:01:41.739><c> what</c><00:01:41.959><c> happened.</c>

00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.519
I'm<00:01:42.500><c> sure</c><00:01:42.739><c> we</c><00:01:43.400><c> all</c><00:01:43.599><c> remember</c><00:01:43.959><c> this</c><00:01:44.200><c> story.</c>

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.239
But<00:01:44.700><c> I</c><00:01:44.879><c> just</c><00:01:45.060><c> kind</c><00:01:45.159><c> of</c><00:01:45.299><c> want</c><00:01:45.400><c> to</c><00:01:45.560><c> set</c><00:01:45.680><c> the</c><00:01:45.920><c> stage</c><00:01:46.140><c> a</c><00:01:46.299><c> little</c><00:01:46.540><c> bit</c>

00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:48.060
for<00:01:47.819><c> that.</c>

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:49.799
So<00:01:48.379><c> let's</c><00:01:48.579><c> get</c><00:01:48.760><c> into</c><00:01:49.040><c> it</c><00:01:49.200><c> very</c><00:01:49.500><c> quickly.</c>

00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:50.519
Boom.

00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:51.200
All<00:01:50.959><c> right.</c>

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.459
We<00:01:51.739><c> always</c><00:01:52.099><c> like</c><00:01:52.439><c> to</c><00:01:52.719><c> place</c><00:01:52.959><c> ourselves</c><00:01:53.799><c> in</c><00:01:54.340><c> an</c><00:01:54.579><c> area.</c>

00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:56.739
Oh,<00:01:56.400><c> yes.</c>

00:01:56.900 --> 00:01:57.579
Get<00:01:56.900><c> to</c><00:01:57.120><c> that.</c>

00:01:57.980 --> 00:01:58.879
Sick.

00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:00.280
Look<00:01:59.480><c> at</c><00:01:59.760><c> this.</c>

00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.719
But<00:02:00.719><c> gee,</c><00:02:01.000><c> this</c><00:02:01.239><c> is</c><00:02:01.519><c> next</c><00:02:01.859><c> level.</c>

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:04.459
This<00:02:03.439><c> is</c><00:02:03.799><c> next</c><00:02:04.180><c> level.</c>

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:05.840
All<00:02:04.799><c> right.</c>

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.199
So<00:02:06.480><c> this</c><00:02:06.959><c> is</c><00:02:07.219><c> the</c><00:02:07.439><c> area</c><00:02:07.739><c> that</c><00:02:07.939><c> we're</c><00:02:08.159><c> talking</c><00:02:08.560><c> about</c><00:02:08.879><c> here,</c><00:02:09.159><c> OK?</c>

00:02:10.460 --> 00:02:13.180
You<00:02:10.680><c> know,</c><00:02:10.819><c> this</c><00:02:11.020><c> is</c><00:02:12.080><c> not</c><00:02:12.219><c> a</c><00:02:12.300><c> massive</c><00:02:12.740><c> area.</c>

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.840
If<00:02:13.460><c> we</c><00:02:13.759><c> took</c><00:02:13.979><c> the</c><00:02:14.319><c> modern</c><00:02:14.719><c> state</c><00:02:15.039><c> of</c><00:02:15.199><c> Israel</c><00:02:15.560><c> today,</c>

00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.300
it's<00:02:16.060><c> about</c><00:02:16.280><c> the</c><00:02:16.539><c> size</c><00:02:16.819><c> of</c><00:02:17.060><c> New</c><00:02:17.340><c> Jersey,</c><00:02:18.719><c> all</c><00:02:18.960><c> right?</c>

00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:23.400
But<00:02:20.060><c> Saul</c><00:02:20.479><c> didn't</c><00:02:20.919><c> control</c><00:02:21.680><c> all</c><00:02:22.099><c> of</c><00:02:22.300><c> that</c><00:02:22.479><c> area,</c><00:02:22.919><c> OK?</c>

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.180
For<00:02:23.620><c> the</c><00:02:23.800><c> most</c><00:02:24.039><c> part.</c>

00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:24.620
Look<00:02:24.360><c> at</c><00:02:24.479><c> this.</c>

00:02:24.819 --> 00:02:27.340
He<00:02:25.120><c> controlled</c><00:02:25.520><c> this</c><00:02:25.819><c> area</c><00:02:26.020><c> in</c><00:02:26.280><c> the</c><00:02:26.520><c> purple,</c><00:02:27.080><c> OK?</c>

00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.780
So<00:02:27.979><c> from</c><00:02:28.319><c> down</c><00:02:28.740><c> south</c><00:02:28.979><c> where</c><00:02:29.199><c> the</c><00:02:29.340><c> Mount</c><00:02:29.560><c> of</c><00:02:29.780><c> Olives</c><00:02:30.180><c> is,</c><00:02:30.539><c> OK,</c>

00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:35.139
right<00:02:31.039><c> outside</c><00:02:31.419><c> of</c><00:02:31.659><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:02:32.680><c> all</c><00:02:32.919><c> the</c><00:02:33.060><c> way</c><00:02:33.259><c> up</c><00:02:33.479><c> to</c><00:02:33.659><c> Mount</c><00:02:34.000><c> Gilboa.</c>

00:02:35.219 --> 00:02:36.639
So<00:02:35.419><c> that's</c><00:02:35.740><c> an</c><00:02:36.000><c> interesting</c><00:02:36.419><c> area.</c>

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.639
You<00:02:36.800><c> know,</c><00:02:36.900><c> you're</c><00:02:37.280><c> talking</c><00:02:37.379><c> about</c><00:02:37.740><c> maybe</c><00:02:38.159><c> an</c><00:02:38.419><c> area</c><00:02:38.780><c> of,</c><00:02:39.479><c> I</c>

00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:39.979
don't<00:02:39.780><c> know,</c>

00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:42.879
30,<00:02:40.319><c> 40</c><00:02:40.659><c> square</c><00:02:41.039><c> miles,</c><00:02:41.460><c> something</c><00:02:41.699><c> like</c><00:02:42.020><c> that.</c>

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.080
And<00:02:43.620><c> we</c><00:02:43.840><c> may</c><00:02:44.039><c> say,</c><00:02:44.379><c> hey,</c><00:02:44.560><c> that's</c><00:02:44.879><c> not</c><00:02:45.120><c> really</c><00:02:45.419><c> a</c><00:02:45.599><c> great</c><00:02:45.780><c> kingdom.</c>

00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.139
No,<00:02:46.520><c> it's</c><00:02:46.819><c> not.</c>

00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:49.259
It's<00:02:47.879><c> the</c><00:02:48.039><c> beginning</c><00:02:48.560><c> of</c><00:02:48.800><c> a</c><00:02:49.000><c> kingdom.</c>

00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.139
It's<00:02:49.819><c> the</c><00:02:49.979><c> beginning</c><00:02:50.400><c> of</c><00:02:50.659><c> a</c><00:02:50.780><c> nation.</c>

00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:56.379
But<00:02:51.819><c> if</c><00:02:52.639><c> you</c><00:02:53.099><c> remember</c><00:02:53.740><c> from</c><00:02:54.599><c> our</c><00:02:54.900><c> series</c><00:02:55.159><c> on</c><00:02:55.360><c> the</c><00:02:55.580><c> judges,</c>

00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.360
you<00:02:56.580><c> know,</c><00:02:57.240><c> the</c><00:02:57.439><c> Israelites</c><00:02:57.740><c> didn't</c><00:02:58.020><c> really</c>

00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.020
have<00:02:58.560><c> a</c><00:02:58.699><c> whole</c><00:02:58.879><c> lot</c><00:02:59.080><c> of</c><00:02:59.360><c> options</c><00:02:59.819><c> when</c><00:03:00.000><c> it</c><00:03:00.219><c> came</c><00:03:00.479><c> to,</c><00:03:01.020><c> hey,</c>

00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:02.639
where<00:03:01.319><c> are</c><00:03:01.439><c> we</c><00:03:01.560><c> going</c><00:03:01.699><c> to</c><00:03:01.900><c> live?</c>

00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:04.280
They<00:03:02.960><c> couldn't</c><00:03:03.259><c> live</c><00:03:03.460><c> on</c><00:03:03.680><c> the</c><00:03:03.860><c> coast,</c><00:03:04.159><c> right?</c>

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:05.419
Who<00:03:04.439><c> was</c><00:03:04.599><c> on</c><00:03:04.740><c> the</c><00:03:04.960><c> coastline?</c>

00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:06.599
Who<00:03:05.620><c> remembers?</c>

00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:08.439
The<00:03:07.639><c> Philistines,</c><00:03:08.319><c> right?</c>

00:03:08.460 --> 00:03:09.439
Along<00:03:08.680><c> the</c><00:03:08.919><c> coastline.</c>

00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:11.639
They<00:03:10.240><c> controlled</c><00:03:10.759><c> that</c><00:03:11.060><c> whole</c><00:03:11.259><c> area.</c>

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.199
So<00:03:12.280><c> Israel</c><00:03:12.580><c> was</c><00:03:12.800><c> really</c><00:03:13.219><c> forced</c><00:03:13.560><c> up</c><00:03:13.819><c> into</c><00:03:14.060><c> the</c><00:03:14.280><c> hills,</c><00:03:15.020><c> right?</c>

00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.819
Up<00:03:15.360><c> into</c><00:03:15.560><c> the</c><00:03:15.819><c> mountains</c><00:03:16.300><c> of</c><00:03:16.520><c> Israel.</c>

00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:18.139
We<00:03:16.979><c> know</c><00:03:17.240><c> that.</c>

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.020
And<00:03:18.900><c> so,</c><00:03:19.139><c> you</c><00:03:19.219><c> know,</c><00:03:19.780><c> mountains,</c><00:03:20.620><c> we</c><00:03:20.819><c> know</c>

00:03:21.020 --> 00:03:23.379
that<00:03:21.219><c> there's</c><00:03:21.460><c> massive</c><00:03:21.939><c> mountain</c><00:03:22.319><c> ranges</c><00:03:22.680><c> in</c><00:03:22.879><c> the</c><00:03:23.080><c> world.</c>

00:03:23.460 --> 00:03:27.460
Obviously,<00:03:24.039><c> Himalayas,</c><00:03:25.180><c> the</c><00:03:25.419><c> Rocky</c><00:03:25.719><c> Mountains</c><00:03:26.099><c> in</c><00:03:26.319><c> this</c><00:03:26.520><c> country.</c>

00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.340
Even<00:03:27.800><c> you</c><00:03:27.919><c> go</c><00:03:28.099><c> up</c><00:03:28.199><c> to</c><00:03:28.340><c> New</c><00:03:28.479><c> Hampshire,</c><00:03:28.780><c> the</c><00:03:28.919><c> White</c><00:03:29.099><c> Mountains,</c>

00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:31.020
like,<00:03:29.580><c> whoa,</c><00:03:29.919><c> that's</c><00:03:30.439><c> Mount</c><00:03:30.699><c> Washington.</c>

00:03:31.060 --> 00:03:32.659
That's<00:03:31.340><c> a</c><00:03:31.439><c> sizable</c><00:03:31.840><c> mountain.</c>

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:34.759
These<00:03:33.419><c> mountains</c><00:03:33.719><c> are</c><00:03:33.939><c> not</c><00:03:34.159><c> that</c><00:03:34.460><c> size,</c>

00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:36.460
but<00:03:34.919><c> they're</c><00:03:35.099><c> pretty</c><00:03:35.419><c> good</c><00:03:36.180><c> size.</c>

00:03:36.620 --> 00:03:38.759
Like<00:03:36.740><c> Mount</c><00:03:36.979><c> Tabor,</c><00:03:37.780><c> I</c><00:03:37.780><c> think.</c>

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.879
Mount<00:03:39.099><c> Tabor</c><00:03:39.539><c> is</c><00:03:39.740><c> pretty</c><00:03:39.960><c> good</c><00:03:40.259><c> size,</c><00:03:40.539><c> 6</c><00:03:40.960><c>,000,</c><00:03:40.960><c> 7</c><00:03:41.460><c>,000</c><00:03:41.620><c> feet.</c>

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:43.819
But<00:03:42.300><c> they're</c><00:03:42.759><c> not</c><00:03:42.979><c> huge</c><00:03:43.300><c> mountains.</c>

00:03:43.819 --> 00:03:46.460
A<00:03:44.379><c> lot</c><00:03:44.819><c> of</c><00:03:44.979><c> them</c><00:03:45.099><c> are</c><00:03:45.360><c> hills.</c>

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.259
But<00:03:47.039><c> this</c><00:03:47.280><c> is</c><00:03:47.520><c> where</c><00:03:47.719><c> the</c><00:03:47.919><c> children</c><00:03:48.139><c> of</c><00:03:48.259><c> Israel</c><00:03:48.560><c> had</c><00:03:48.840><c> to</c><00:03:49.080><c> go.</c>

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.240
This<00:03:49.659><c> is</c><00:03:49.900><c> where</c><00:03:50.020><c> they</c><00:03:50.300><c> lived,</c><00:03:50.580><c> in</c><00:03:52.120><c> the</c><00:03:52.240><c> hills</c><00:03:52.520><c> of</c><00:03:52.759><c> Samaria,</c>

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.259
in<00:03:53.400><c> the</c><00:03:53.479><c> hills</c><00:03:53.719><c> of</c><00:03:53.979><c> Judah,</c><00:03:54.639><c> because</c><00:03:55.060><c> they</c>

00:03:55.259 --> 00:03:56.800
had<00:03:55.560><c> enemies</c><00:03:55.939><c> all</c><00:03:56.280><c> around</c><00:03:56.639><c> them.</c>

00:03:56.819 --> 00:03:59.120
If<00:03:56.960><c> you</c><00:03:57.120><c> look</c><00:03:57.280><c> right</c><00:03:57.639><c> here,</c><00:03:58.479><c> the</c><00:03:58.699><c> Philistines</c>

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.199
are<00:03:59.340><c> on</c><00:03:59.419><c> the</c><00:03:59.639><c> coastline,</c><00:04:00.699><c> right?</c>

00:04:01.419 --> 00:04:03.419
Amnon<00:04:01.979><c> is</c><00:04:02.419><c> here.</c>

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.000
Moab<00:04:03.919><c> is</c><00:04:04.159><c> down</c><00:04:04.539><c> south</c><00:04:04.840><c> as</c><00:04:05.139><c> well.</c>

00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.520
So<00:04:06.560><c> they</c><00:04:07.379><c> had</c><00:04:07.800><c> enemies,</c><00:04:08.439><c> people</c><00:04:08.719><c> that</c><00:04:08.939><c> didn't</c><00:04:09.199><c> want</c>

00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.180
to<00:04:09.840><c> see</c><00:04:10.080><c> them</c><00:04:10.400><c> successful</c><00:04:11.319><c> here.</c>

00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:15.319
This<00:04:13.699><c> little</c><00:04:13.879><c> round</c><00:04:14.259><c> circle</c><00:04:14.639><c> right</c><00:04:15.000><c> here</c>

00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.339
is<00:04:15.719><c> Samuel's</c><00:04:16.540><c> area</c><00:04:17.000><c> of</c><00:04:17.360><c> activity.</c>

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:21.019
Remember,<00:04:18.579><c> he</c><00:04:18.759><c> had</c><00:04:18.980><c> a</c><00:04:19.259><c> circle</c><00:04:19.579><c> that</c><00:04:19.819><c> he</c><00:04:20.000><c> did,</c><00:04:20.139><c> kind</c><00:04:20.360><c> of</c><00:04:20.459><c> the</c><00:04:20.660><c> circle.</c>

00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.500
He<00:04:21.500><c> would</c><00:04:21.720><c> go</c><00:04:22.180><c> from</c><00:04:22.800><c> this</c><00:04:23.100><c> area.</c>

00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:26.860
And<00:04:24.000><c> that's</c><00:04:24.319><c> where</c><00:04:24.579><c> he</c><00:04:25.600><c> would</c><00:04:25.879><c> stay</c><00:04:26.199><c> primarily.</c>

00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:28.860
So<00:04:27.339><c> we're</c><00:04:27.500><c> not</c><00:04:27.740><c> talking</c><00:04:27.980><c> about</c><00:04:28.199><c> a</c><00:04:28.379><c> big</c><00:04:28.540><c> area.</c>

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.680
The<00:04:29.319><c> area</c><00:04:29.560><c> down</c><00:04:30.000><c> south</c><00:04:30.319><c> here</c><00:04:30.720><c> is</c><00:04:31.420><c> Judah,</c><00:04:31.800><c> as</c><00:04:32.180><c> we</c><00:04:32.360><c> know.</c>

00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.360
And<00:04:33.120><c> that's</c><00:04:33.459><c> really,</c><00:04:34.279><c> as</c><00:04:34.600><c> we're</c><00:04:34.839><c> going</c><00:04:35.060><c> to</c><00:04:35.279><c> see,</c>

00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.220
this<00:04:35.579><c> is</c><00:04:35.860><c> David's</c><00:04:36.379><c> area</c><00:04:36.759><c> of</c><00:04:37.100><c> operations</c><00:04:37.699><c> as</c><00:04:38.019><c> well.</c>

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.600
So<00:04:38.800><c> in</c><00:04:38.959><c> a</c><00:04:39.060><c> lot</c><00:04:39.279><c> of</c><00:04:39.439><c> ways,</c><00:04:39.939><c> brothers</c><00:04:40.060><c> and</c><00:04:40.360><c> sisters,</c>

00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:46.680
you<00:04:40.800><c> had</c><00:04:41.040><c> two</c><00:04:41.360><c> kind</c><00:04:41.639><c> of</c><00:04:41.939><c> competing</c><00:04:42.980><c> areas</c><00:04:45.339><c> of</c><00:04:45.819><c> strength.</c>

00:04:47.479 --> 00:04:49.660
Saul<00:04:47.959><c> was</c><00:04:48.439><c> anointed</c><00:04:48.839><c> by</c><00:04:49.240><c> Samuel.</c>

00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.240
David<00:04:50.600><c> was</c><00:04:50.980><c> anointed</c><00:04:51.399><c> by</c><00:04:51.680><c> Samuel.</c>

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.680
And<00:04:52.879><c> we're</c><00:04:53.100><c> going</c><00:04:53.339><c> to</c><00:04:53.579><c> see</c><00:04:53.740><c> that,</c><00:04:54.120><c> obviously,</c><00:04:54.480><c> there's</c>

00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.120
going<00:04:54.839><c> to</c><00:04:54.939><c> be</c><00:04:55.100><c> a</c><00:04:55.279><c> clash</c><00:04:55.540><c> here,</c><00:04:55.839><c> right?</c>

00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.680
Saul<00:04:56.500><c> wants</c><00:04:56.720><c> to</c><00:04:56.959><c> hold</c><00:04:57.139><c> on</c><00:04:57.399><c> to</c><00:04:57.540><c> his</c><00:04:57.740><c> power.</c>

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.019
And<00:04:59.420><c> David's</c><00:04:59.680><c> like,</c><00:04:59.800><c> well,</c><00:04:59.939><c> I'm</c><00:05:00.160><c> anointed</c><00:05:00.540><c> too.</c>

00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.019
And<00:05:01.660><c> there's</c><00:05:01.839><c> going</c><00:05:01.939><c> to</c><00:05:02.040><c> be</c><00:05:02.120><c> that</c><00:05:02.399><c> friction</c><00:05:02.740><c> that</c><00:05:02.879><c> we're</c>

00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:03.920
going<00:05:03.160><c> to</c><00:05:03.300><c> take</c><00:05:03.459><c> a</c><00:05:03.540><c> look</c><00:05:03.740><c> at.</c>

00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:05.959
So<00:05:04.899><c> we're</c><00:05:05.199><c> setting</c><00:05:05.500><c> the</c><00:05:05.779><c> stage.</c>

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.879
This<00:05:06.180><c> is</c><00:05:06.379><c> the</c><00:05:06.579><c> area</c><00:05:06.839><c> that</c><00:05:07.019><c> we're</c><00:05:07.220><c> talking</c><00:05:07.579><c> about.</c>

00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:09.160
It's<00:05:08.220><c> not</c><00:05:08.420><c> a</c><00:05:08.540><c> big</c><00:05:08.740><c> area.</c>

00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:10.720
But<00:05:09.620><c> it's</c><00:05:09.819><c> an</c><00:05:10.079><c> important</c><00:05:10.379><c> area.</c>

00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:12.819
And<00:05:10.899><c> it's</c><00:05:11.079><c> going</c><00:05:11.279><c> to</c><00:05:11.620><c> expand,</c><00:05:12.360><c> all</c><00:05:12.579><c> right?</c>

00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:15.740
Any<00:05:13.379><c> questions,</c><00:05:13.959><c> comments</c><00:05:14.199><c> on</c><00:05:14.379><c> this</c><00:05:14.620><c> right</c><00:05:14.879><c> here?</c>

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.019
All<00:05:16.579><c> right,</c><00:05:16.980><c> going</c><00:05:17.160><c> over,</c><00:05:17.779><c> boom,</c><00:05:18.680><c> ooh,</c><00:05:19.259><c> ooh,</c><00:05:19.439><c> ooh.</c>

00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:23.959
A<00:05:20.500><c> few</c><00:05:20.800><c> more</c><00:05:21.180><c> towns</c><00:05:21.639><c> and</c><00:05:21.959><c> cities</c><00:05:22.240><c> right</c><00:05:22.560><c> here,</c><00:05:22.899><c> OK?</c>

00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.319
Again,<00:05:25.360><c> this</c><00:05:25.620><c> is</c><00:05:25.839><c> the</c><00:05:26.019><c> area</c><00:05:26.279><c> that</c><00:05:26.459><c> we're</c><00:05:26.660><c> talking</c><00:05:27.019><c> about.</c>

00:05:27.620 --> 00:05:28.240
There's<00:05:27.939><c> Bethel.</c>

00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:29.439
There's<00:05:28.579><c> Gilgal.</c>

00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.980
Mount<00:05:30.279><c> Gilboa</c><00:05:30.879><c> is</c><00:05:31.120><c> up</c><00:05:31.319><c> on</c><00:05:31.480><c> the</c><00:05:31.639><c> top</c><00:05:31.839><c> there.</c>

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.779
That's<00:05:32.379><c> another</c><00:05:32.600><c> question</c><00:05:33.480><c> I've</c><00:05:33.779><c> always</c><00:05:34.060><c> asked</c><00:05:34.379><c> myself.</c>

00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.579
And<00:05:34.939><c> I'm</c><00:05:35.199><c> kind</c><00:05:35.379><c> of</c><00:05:35.480><c> doing</c><00:05:35.620><c> some</c><00:05:35.920><c> research</c><00:05:36.519><c> into</c><00:05:36.779><c> it.</c>

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:44.180
Why<00:05:39.060><c> was</c><00:05:39.620><c> Saul</c><00:05:40.240><c> in</c><00:05:41.240><c> the</c><00:05:41.480><c> armies</c><00:05:41.759><c> of</c><00:05:42.019><c> Israel</c><00:05:42.319><c> up</c><00:05:42.579><c> in</c><00:05:42.819><c> Mount</c><00:05:43.100><c> Gilboa?</c>

00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.439
The<00:05:44.899><c> Philistines</c><00:05:45.360><c> came</c><00:05:45.660><c> all</c><00:05:46.079><c> the</c><00:05:46.199><c> way</c><00:05:46.339><c> up,</c>

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.579
like<00:05:46.759><c> cut</c><00:05:46.899><c> right</c><00:05:47.279><c> through</c><00:05:47.639><c> Saul's</c><00:05:49.060><c> territory</c>

00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:52.360
and<00:05:49.740><c> went</c><00:05:49.920><c> right</c><00:05:50.300><c> at</c><00:05:50.579><c> them</c><00:05:50.720><c> at</c><00:05:50.879><c> Mount</c><00:05:51.160><c> Gilboa.</c>

00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.800
One<00:05:52.759><c> of</c><00:05:52.920><c> the</c><00:05:53.100><c> things</c><00:05:53.399><c> is</c><00:05:53.860><c> Mount</c><00:05:54.300><c> Gilboa</c>

00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.519
may<00:05:55.019><c> have</c><00:05:55.180><c> been</c><00:05:55.439><c> a</c><00:05:55.639><c> fortress</c><00:05:56.000><c> of</c><00:05:56.300><c> some</c><00:05:56.540><c> type</c><00:05:56.920><c> that</c><00:05:57.819><c> was</c><00:05:58.100><c> controlling</c>

00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.300
the<00:05:58.879><c> trade</c><00:05:59.100><c> routes</c><00:05:59.339><c> there.</c>

00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:02.379
And<00:06:00.540><c> Saul</c><00:06:00.759><c> was</c><00:06:01.060><c> expanding</c><00:06:01.540><c> his</c><00:06:01.879><c> territory</c>

00:06:02.379 --> 00:06:03.600
to<00:06:02.600><c> include</c><00:06:03.060><c> that</c><00:06:03.379><c> area.</c>

00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.480
And<00:06:04.120><c> the</c><00:06:04.279><c> Philistines</c><00:06:04.600><c> are</c><00:06:04.800><c> like,</c><00:06:04.920><c> nah,</c><00:06:05.160><c> nah,</c><00:06:05.339><c> nah,</c>

00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:06.939
you're<00:06:05.660><c> not</c><00:06:05.819><c> doing</c><00:06:05.939><c> any</c><00:06:06.199><c> of</c><00:06:06.339><c> that.</c>

00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.139
They<00:06:07.300><c> went</c><00:06:07.540><c> directly</c><00:06:08.100><c> for</c><00:06:08.379><c> kind</c><00:06:08.620><c> of</c><00:06:08.779><c> his</c><00:06:09.100><c> seat</c><00:06:09.240><c> of</c><00:06:09.560><c> operations</c>

00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:10.939
up<00:06:10.379><c> in</c><00:06:10.540><c> the</c><00:06:10.680><c> north.</c>

00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:11.839
So<00:06:11.439><c> who</c><00:06:11.620><c> knows?</c>

00:06:11.860 --> 00:06:12.779
We're<00:06:12.019><c> not</c><00:06:12.220><c> really</c><00:06:12.519><c> told.</c>

00:06:12.819 --> 00:06:15.600
But<00:06:12.939><c> I</c><00:06:13.040><c> just</c><00:06:13.500><c> find</c><00:06:13.759><c> it</c><00:06:14.040><c> interesting,</c><00:06:14.360><c> like</c><00:06:14.540><c> why</c><00:06:14.839><c> Mount</c><00:06:15.100><c> Gilboa?</c>

00:06:15.899 --> 00:06:18.120
Why<00:06:16.199><c> was</c><00:06:16.459><c> the</c><00:06:16.699><c> battle</c><00:06:16.980><c> fought</c><00:06:17.379><c> in</c><00:06:17.620><c> that</c><00:06:17.819><c> area?</c>

00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:20.620
OK,<00:06:18.740><c> I</c><00:06:18.819><c> don't</c><00:06:18.980><c> know</c><00:06:19.060><c> if</c><00:06:19.199><c> we'll</c><00:06:19.339><c> ever</c><00:06:19.600><c> get</c><00:06:19.720><c> an</c><00:06:19.920><c> answer.</c>

00:06:20.660 --> 00:06:24.579
But<00:06:20.660><c> hey,</c><00:06:21.439><c> check</c><00:06:21.720><c> this</c><00:06:22.000><c> out</c><00:06:22.180><c> right</c><00:06:22.459><c> here,</c><00:06:22.800><c> right</c><00:06:23.060><c> by</c><00:06:23.240><c> Mount</c><00:06:23.579><c> Tabor.</c>

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.620
This<00:06:25.279><c> is</c><00:06:25.680><c> kind</c><00:06:25.879><c> of</c><00:06:25.879><c> not</c><00:06:26.139><c> great,</c><00:06:27.019><c> but</c><00:06:27.019><c> I</c><00:06:27.639><c> can</c><00:06:27.899><c> see</c><00:06:28.220><c> it</c><00:06:28.819><c> not</c><00:06:29.160><c> there.</c>

00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:31.279
Where<00:06:29.939><c> is</c><00:06:30.199><c> it?</c>

00:06:31.500 --> 00:06:33.220
Oh,<00:06:31.879><c> I</c><00:06:31.980><c> just</c><00:06:32.319><c> saw</c><00:06:32.519><c> it.</c>

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.540
What's<00:06:35.959><c> next</c><00:06:36.220><c> to</c><00:06:36.379><c> Mount</c><00:06:36.600><c> Tabor?</c>

00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:39.459
Endor.

00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.420
We<00:06:40.240><c> know</c><00:06:40.459><c> that</c><00:06:40.639><c> that's</c><00:06:40.920><c> going</c><00:06:41.019><c> to</c><00:06:41.139><c> play</c><00:06:41.319><c> an</c><00:06:41.600><c> important</c><00:06:41.839><c> part,</c><00:06:42.360><c> too.</c>

00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:44.480
The<00:06:42.800><c> Witch</c><00:06:42.959><c> of</c><00:06:43.180><c> Endor</c><00:06:43.540><c> is</c><00:06:43.699><c> up</c><00:06:43.860><c> in</c><00:06:44.019><c> that</c><00:06:44.160><c> area,</c>

00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.279
which<00:06:45.019><c> makes</c><00:06:45.339><c> sense</c><00:06:45.660><c> because</c><00:06:45.980><c> the</c><00:06:46.379><c> last</c><00:06:46.819><c> battle</c><00:06:47.180><c> that</c><00:06:47.519><c> Saul</c><00:06:47.740><c> fought</c>

00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.519

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.680
So<00:06:50.680><c> this</c><00:06:50.939><c> makes</c><00:06:51.259><c> sense</c><00:06:51.779><c> according</c><00:06:52.240><c> to</c><00:06:52.759><c> the</c><00:06:53.319><c> geography</c><00:06:54.180><c> of</c><00:06:54.620><c> Israel</c>

00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:02.040
which<00:07:00.180><c> I</c><00:07:00.420><c> find</c><00:07:00.639><c> very</c><00:07:01.040><c> interesting.</c>

00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:04.639
Questions,<00:07:03.060><c> comments</c><00:07:03.279><c> on</c><00:07:03.420><c> these</c><00:07:03.620><c> two</c><00:07:03.759><c> maps?</c>

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.040
All<00:07:05.360><c> right,</c><00:07:05.560><c> this</c><00:07:05.740><c> is</c><00:07:05.939><c> the</c><00:07:06.180><c> area.</c>

00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.160
All<00:07:08.300><c> right.</c>

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:10.300
Boom.

00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.120
OK,<00:07:11.060><c> so</c><00:07:11.759><c> if</c><00:07:12.620><c> you</c><00:07:12.779><c> want</c><00:07:12.899><c> to</c><00:07:13.100><c> follow</c><00:07:13.279><c> along,</c><00:07:13.779><c> that's</c><00:07:13.899><c> fine.</c>

00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:17.240
It's<00:07:14.939><c> in</c><00:07:15.100><c> 1</c><00:07:15.300><c> Samuel</c><00:07:15.699><c> chapter</c><00:07:16.160><c> 10.</c>

00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.600
But<00:07:17.439><c> I'm</c><00:07:18.060><c> going</c><00:07:18.160><c> to</c><00:07:18.420><c> just</c><00:07:18.720><c> kind</c><00:07:19.000><c> of</c><00:07:19.079><c> paraphrase</c><00:07:19.620><c> this.</c>

00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.420
This<00:07:37.639><c> hodgepodge</c><00:07:38.480><c> of</c><00:07:38.720><c> this</c><00:07:39.079><c> chief</c><00:07:39.360><c> talking</c><00:07:39.699><c> to</c><00:07:39.920><c> this</c><00:07:40.139><c> chief</c>

00:07:45.179 --> 00:07:50.839
And<00:07:45.779><c> from</c><00:07:46.379><c> a</c><00:07:49.139><c> human</c><00:07:49.540><c> political</c><00:07:50.279><c> point</c><00:07:50.579><c> of</c><00:07:50.740><c> view,</c>

00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.899
You<00:07:52.740><c> need</c><00:07:53.060><c> one</c><00:07:53.360><c> guy</c><00:07:53.660><c> to</c><00:07:53.839><c> make</c><00:07:54.000><c> all</c><00:07:54.839><c> the</c><00:07:55.139><c> determinations.</c>

00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.840
But<00:07:56.420><c> the</c><00:07:56.620><c> thing</c><00:07:56.779><c> was</c><00:07:57.040><c> they</c><00:07:57.220><c> forgot</c><00:07:57.620><c> about</c><00:07:57.879><c> the</c><00:07:58.060><c> one</c><00:07:58.220><c> person</c><00:07:58.540><c> that</c>

00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:04.920
They<00:08:01.379><c> got</c><00:08:01.560><c> so</c><00:08:01.899><c> wrapped</c><00:08:02.160><c> up</c><00:08:02.360><c> into</c><00:08:02.560><c> the</c><00:08:02.939><c> politics</c><00:08:03.480><c> of</c><00:08:04.379><c> the</c><00:08:04.680><c> day</c>

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:10.959
He's<00:08:10.240><c> protected</c><00:08:10.639><c> us.</c>

00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:13.360

And<00:08:17.639><c> I</c><00:08:17.720><c> think</c><00:08:17.879><c> sometimes</c><00:08:18.399><c> when</c><00:08:18.800><c> we</c><00:08:19.019><c> get</c><00:08:19.199><c> established</c><00:08:19.699><c> in</c><00:08:19.899><c> our</c><00:08:20.100><c> lives</c>

I<00:09:07.519><c> don't</c><00:09:07.700><c> think</c><00:09:07.899><c> I'm</c><00:09:08.159><c> thankful</c><00:09:08.559><c> enough</c><00:09:08.919><c> for</c><00:09:09.100><c> the</c><00:09:09.279><c> things.</c>

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:12.220
I'm<00:09:09.799><c> living</c><00:09:10.059><c> in</c><00:09:10.299><c> this</c><00:09:10.759><c> area</c><00:09:11.299><c> of</c><00:09:11.539><c> the</c><00:09:11.759><c> world.</c>

00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:14.519
I<00:09:12.820><c> don't</c><00:09:13.019><c> really</c><00:09:13.399><c> want</c><00:09:13.759><c> for</c><00:09:14.080><c> anything.</c>

00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:18.120
I've<00:09:15.179><c> got</c><00:09:15.279><c> enough</c><00:09:15.639><c> food,</c><00:09:16.480><c> got</c><00:09:16.620><c> a</c><00:09:16.759><c> great</c><00:09:17.000><c> wife,</c><00:09:17.340><c> great</c><00:09:17.620><c> house.</c>

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:19.659
What<00:09:18.740><c> am</c><00:09:18.899><c> I</c><00:09:19.059><c> worried</c><00:09:19.340><c> about?</c>

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.559
But<00:09:20.159><c> we</c><00:09:20.320><c> always</c><00:09:20.639><c> find</c><00:09:20.899><c> things</c><00:09:21.200><c> to</c><00:09:21.419><c> complain</c><00:09:21.759><c> and</c><00:09:21.960><c> worry</c><00:09:22.279><c> about.</c>

00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.580
That's<00:09:22.919><c> just</c><00:09:23.159><c> the</c><00:09:23.340><c> way</c><00:09:23.500><c> we</c><00:09:23.820><c> are.</c>

00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.279
Saul<00:09:26.360><c> was</c><00:09:26.879><c> not</c><00:09:27.200><c> an</c><00:09:27.539><c> arrogant</c><00:09:27.799><c> guy.</c>

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.779
He<00:09:28.460><c> was</c><00:09:28.720><c> not</c><00:09:28.899><c> a</c><00:09:29.100><c> prideful</c><00:09:29.519><c> guy.</c>

00:09:29.779 --> 00:09:31.440
He<00:09:29.879><c> was</c><00:09:30.059><c> very</c><00:09:30.399><c> humble.</c>

00:09:31.539 --> 00:09:33.340
In<00:09:31.779><c> fact,</c><00:09:32.059><c> he</c><00:09:32.179><c> was</c><00:09:32.419><c> so</c><00:09:32.740><c> humble</c><00:09:33.019><c> that</c><00:09:33.240><c> he</c>

00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:36.580
was<00:09:33.620><c> hiding</c><00:09:34.000><c> in</c><00:09:34.460><c> the</c><00:09:34.779><c> kind</c><00:09:34.779><c> of</c><00:09:34.940><c> the</c><00:09:35.139><c> baggage</c><00:09:35.500><c> area.</c>

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.200
And<00:09:42.120><c> Saul</c><00:09:42.639><c> was</c><00:09:42.860><c> hiding.</c>

00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:44.940
He<00:09:43.440><c> didn't</c><00:09:43.679><c> want</c><00:09:43.820><c> any</c><00:09:44.100><c> part</c><00:09:44.320><c> of</c><00:09:44.460><c> it.</c>

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.480
He<00:09:45.399><c> was</c><00:09:45.700><c> not</c><00:09:45.879><c> a</c><00:09:46.100><c> prideful</c><00:09:46.480><c> guy</c><00:09:46.840><c> at</c><00:09:47.279><c> all.</c>

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:48.919
He<00:09:47.580><c> was</c><00:09:47.820><c> humble.</c>

00:09:49.900 --> 00:09:54.759
And<00:09:50.460><c> so</c><00:09:51.019><c> there's</c><00:09:52.759><c> going</c><00:09:52.899><c> to</c><00:09:52.980><c> be</c><00:09:53.220><c> a</c><00:09:53.440><c> core</c><00:09:53.759><c> band</c><00:09:54.179><c> of</c><00:09:54.440><c> men</c>

00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.580
that<00:09:54.940><c> are</c><00:09:55.080><c> going</c><00:09:55.220><c> to</c><00:09:55.480><c> stay</c><00:09:55.860><c> with</c><00:09:56.659><c> Saul.</c>

00:09:57.700 --> 00:10:03.120
It<00:09:57.960><c> says</c><00:09:58.379><c> in</c><00:09:59.100><c> 1</c><00:09:59.299><c> Samuel</c><00:09:59.659><c> 10,</c><00:10:00.559><c> whose</c><00:10:00.700><c> heart</c><00:10:01.419><c> God</c><00:10:01.779><c> had</c><00:10:02.120><c> touched.</c>

00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.559
So<00:10:03.679><c> God</c><00:10:04.019><c> kind</c><00:10:04.340><c> of</c><00:10:04.740><c> in</c><00:10:05.139><c> a</c><00:10:05.279><c> way,</c><00:10:05.759><c> David</c><00:10:06.399><c> had</c><00:10:06.620><c> his</c><00:10:06.960><c> mighty</c><00:10:07.200><c> men.</c>

00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.139
We<00:10:08.279><c> sometimes</c><00:10:08.779><c> forget</c><00:10:09.139><c> that</c><00:10:09.519><c> Saul</c><00:10:09.759><c> had</c><00:10:09.960><c> his</c><00:10:10.220><c> mighty</c><00:10:10.419><c> men</c><00:10:10.620><c> as</c><00:10:10.860><c> well.</c>

00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:14.700
He<00:10:11.759><c> had</c><00:10:11.940><c> his</c><00:10:12.159><c> mighty</c><00:10:12.360><c> men</c><00:10:12.580><c> of</c><00:10:12.779><c> value,</c><00:10:13.120><c> people</c><00:10:13.480><c> that</c><00:10:13.759><c> were</c><00:10:14.039><c> around</c><00:10:14.480><c> him</c>

00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:17.399
that<00:10:14.919><c> could</c><00:10:15.480><c> kind</c><00:10:15.759><c> of</c><00:10:16.000><c> guide</c><00:10:16.240><c> him,</c><00:10:16.940><c> help</c><00:10:17.159><c> him</c>

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.559
in<00:10:17.440><c> difficult</c><00:10:18.000><c> situations,</c><00:10:19.500><c> just</c><00:10:19.720><c> like</c><00:10:19.899><c> David</c><00:10:20.279><c> did.</c>

00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.679
I<00:10:22.919><c> guess</c><00:10:23.120><c> that's</c><00:10:23.379><c> a</c><00:10:23.480><c> question</c><00:10:23.740><c> for</c><00:10:23.960><c> us</c><00:10:24.220><c> too.</c>

00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:27.679
What<00:10:25.299><c> type</c><00:10:25.519><c> of</c><00:10:25.659><c> people</c><00:10:25.860><c> are</c><00:10:26.059><c> we</c><00:10:26.259><c> associating</c><00:10:26.860><c> with?</c>

00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:31.000
Are<00:10:28.039><c> we</c><00:10:28.279><c> around</c><00:10:28.580><c> people</c><00:10:29.000><c> whose</c><00:10:29.299><c> heart</c><00:10:29.679><c> God</c><00:10:29.960><c> has</c><00:10:30.299><c> touched</c><00:10:30.679><c> in</c>

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:32.279
our<00:10:31.279><c> lives?</c>

00:10:32.659 --> 00:10:35.360
Are<00:10:32.919><c> we</c><00:10:33.159><c> around</c><00:10:33.500><c> other</c><00:10:33.840><c> people</c><00:10:34.179><c> who</c><00:10:34.460><c> are</c><00:10:34.779><c> striving</c>

00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.519

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.480
Or<00:10:38.700><c> are</c><00:10:38.940><c> we</c><00:10:38.940><c> around</c><00:10:39.100><c> people</c><00:10:39.460><c> that</c><00:10:39.679><c> just</c><00:10:39.879><c> kind</c><00:10:40.019><c> of</c><00:10:40.259><c> clutter</c>

00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.419
our<00:10:40.779><c> minds</c><00:10:41.120><c> with</c><00:10:41.399><c> nonsense?</c>

00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:45.379
Right,<00:10:43.279><c> you</c><00:10:43.840><c> have</c><00:10:44.120><c> friends</c><00:10:44.440><c> or</c><00:10:44.759><c> acquaintances,</c>

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:48.600
like<00:10:45.639><c> they're</c><00:10:46.919><c> always</c><00:10:47.220><c> bringing</c><00:10:47.519><c> something</c><00:10:47.940><c> into</c><00:10:48.259><c> your</c><00:10:48.480><c> life</c>

00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:49.799
that's<00:10:48.919><c> maybe</c><00:10:49.120><c> not</c><00:10:49.360><c> the</c><00:10:49.580><c> greatest.</c>

00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.139
There's<00:10:50.480><c> always</c><00:10:50.779><c> some</c><00:10:51.019><c> kind</c><00:10:51.179><c> of</c><00:10:51.360><c> negativity</c><00:10:51.820><c> or</c><00:10:52.220><c> problem.</c>

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:55.980
Try<00:10:54.779><c> not</c><00:10:55.000><c> to</c><00:10:55.179><c> be</c><00:10:55.299><c> like</c><00:10:55.600><c> that.</c>

00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.100
Try<00:10:56.740><c> to</c><00:10:56.940><c> be</c><00:10:57.080><c> like</c><00:10:57.379><c> the</c><00:10:58.220><c> person</c><00:10:58.460><c> that's</c><00:10:58.740><c> kind</c><00:10:58.879><c> of</c><00:10:59.200><c> solving</c><00:10:59.480><c> problems,</c>

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.080
not<00:11:00.539><c> creating</c><00:11:01.120><c> problems.</c>

00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:03.360
There's<00:11:02.399><c> kids</c><00:11:02.580><c> at</c><00:11:02.840><c> school.</c>

00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.539
I<00:11:03.899><c> call</c><00:11:04.100><c> them</c><00:11:04.279><c> bomb</c><00:11:04.659><c> droppers.</c>

00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.960

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.179
That's<00:11:08.340><c> what</c><00:11:08.399><c> they</c><00:11:08.639><c> do</c><00:11:08.899><c> constantly.</c>

00:11:10.779 --> 00:11:13.100
So<00:11:10.940><c> there's</c><00:11:11.679><c> people</c><00:11:12.000><c> out</c><00:11:12.279><c> there</c><00:11:12.419><c> just</c><00:11:12.659><c> like</c><00:11:12.899><c> that.</c>

00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:15.659
Anyways,<00:11:15.179><c> let's</c><00:11:15.340><c> see.</c>

00:11:15.860 --> 00:11:18.419
In<00:11:15.940><c> verse</c><00:11:16.379><c> 25,</c><00:11:17.220><c> let's</c><00:11:17.360><c> look</c><00:11:17.580><c> at</c><00:11:17.740><c> this.</c>

00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:24.740
Then<00:11:20.480><c> Samuel</c><00:11:21.039><c> told</c><00:11:21.679><c> the</c><00:11:23.220><c> people</c><00:11:23.460><c> the</c><00:11:23.720><c> manner</c><00:11:24.019><c> of</c><00:11:24.220><c> the</c><00:11:24.440><c> kingdom</c>

00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:34.399

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.379
So<00:11:34.840><c> Samuel</c><00:11:35.220><c> told</c><00:11:35.500><c> the</c><00:11:35.720><c> people</c><00:11:35.960><c> the</c><00:11:36.259><c> manner</c><00:11:36.600><c> of</c><00:11:36.840><c> the</c><00:11:37.019><c> kingdom.</c>

00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:39.080
So<00:11:38.019><c> that's</c><00:11:38.379><c> interesting.</c>

00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:44.259
That<00:11:39.759><c> it</c><00:11:39.879><c> wasn't,</c><00:11:40.820><c> Samuel</c><00:11:41.279><c> was</c><00:11:41.639><c> part</c><00:11:41.960><c> of</c><00:11:42.639><c> establishing</c><00:11:43.720><c> the</c><00:11:44.059><c> kingdom.</c>

00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:45.899
How<00:11:44.779><c> are</c><00:11:45.000><c> we</c><00:11:45.059><c> going</c><00:11:45.159><c> to</c><00:11:45.299><c> run</c><00:11:45.399><c> the</c><00:11:45.639><c> kingdom?</c>

00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.500
Who's<00:11:46.179><c> going</c><00:11:46.320><c> to</c><00:11:46.360><c> do</c><00:11:46.620><c> what?</c>

00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:51.220
And<00:11:47.940><c> so</c><00:11:48.200><c> Samuel</c><00:11:48.679><c> was</c><00:11:48.960><c> part</c><00:11:49.240><c> of</c><00:11:49.419><c> that</c><00:11:49.639><c> process</c><00:11:50.120><c> with</c><00:11:50.399><c> Saul.</c>

00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:53.940
Imagine<00:11:52.299><c> building</c><00:11:52.799><c> a</c><00:11:53.039><c> kingdom</c><00:11:53.340><c> from</c><00:11:53.620><c> nothing.</c>

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:55.480
That's<00:11:54.580><c> really</c><00:11:54.799><c> what</c><00:11:54.940><c> they're</c><00:11:55.159><c> doing.</c>

00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:57.600
They're<00:11:56.120><c> building</c><00:11:56.460><c> a</c><00:11:56.720><c> kingdom</c><00:11:57.019><c> from</c><00:11:57.279><c> nothing.</c>

00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:59.759
It's<00:11:58.159><c> kind</c><00:11:58.299><c> of</c><00:11:58.299><c> like</c><00:11:58.440><c> building</c><00:11:58.720><c> anything</c><00:11:59.139><c> from</c><00:11:59.419><c> nothing,</c>

00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.879
something<00:12:00.500><c> important,</c><00:12:01.580><c> like</c><00:12:01.779><c> a</c><00:12:02.000><c> school.</c>

00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:05.960
I<00:12:03.120><c> was</c><00:12:03.360><c> part</c><00:12:03.539><c> of</c><00:12:04.320><c> putting</c><00:12:04.779><c> the</c><00:12:05.080><c> charter</c><00:12:05.259><c> school</c><00:12:05.580><c> together,</c>

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.480
that<00:12:06.220><c> whole</c><00:12:06.440><c> process.</c>

00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:09.039
It's<00:12:08.440><c> a</c><00:12:08.679><c> grind.</c>

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:11.299
And<00:12:09.740><c> I</c><00:12:09.879><c> think</c><00:12:10.159><c> probably</c><00:12:10.679><c> the</c><00:12:10.879><c> same</c><00:12:11.100><c> thing</c>

00:12:11.299 --> 00:12:14.980
is<00:12:11.519><c> true</c><00:12:11.659><c> is</c><00:12:12.220><c> establishing</c><00:12:12.919><c> a</c><00:12:13.279><c> kingdom</c><00:12:13.519><c> that</c><00:12:13.799><c> didn't</c><00:12:14.000><c> exist.</c>

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:16.679
It's<00:12:15.360><c> pretty</c><00:12:15.600><c> stressful,</c><00:12:16.039><c> I</c><00:12:16.200><c> would</c><00:12:16.340><c> imagine.</c>

00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:19.980
And<00:12:16.879><c> I'm</c><00:12:17.059><c> glad</c><00:12:17.340><c> that</c><00:12:17.700><c> Saul</c><00:12:17.820><c> had</c><00:12:18.159><c> someone</c><00:12:18.519><c> like</c><00:12:18.899><c> Samuel</c>

00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:21.440
to<00:12:20.559><c> give</c><00:12:20.740><c> him</c><00:12:20.980><c> direction.</c>

00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.179
Obviously,<00:12:22.240><c> God</c><00:12:22.360><c> was</c><00:12:22.659><c> involved</c><00:12:22.940><c> in</c><00:12:23.080><c> it.</c>

00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.460
The<00:12:23.340><c> Holy</c><00:12:23.539><c> Spirit</c><00:12:23.879><c> obviously</c><00:12:24.340><c> guided</c><00:12:24.700><c> them.</c>

00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.519
But<00:12:25.559><c> that's</c><00:12:26.080><c> interesting.</c>

00:12:26.899 --> 00:12:28.200
Samuel<00:12:27.320><c> was</c><00:12:27.519><c> kind</c><00:12:27.779><c> of</c><00:12:27.919><c> the</c><00:12:28.080><c> seer.</c>

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:29.019
He<00:12:28.340><c> was</c><00:12:28.539><c> called</c><00:12:28.700><c> the</c><00:12:28.879><c> seer.</c>

00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:30.039
He<00:12:29.240><c> guided</c><00:12:29.639><c> people.</c>

00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:33.799
That<00:12:30.700><c> relationship</c><00:12:31.340><c> with</c><00:12:31.539><c> Samuel</c><00:12:31.919><c> and</c><00:12:32.139><c> Saul</c><00:12:32.259><c> was</c><00:12:32.480><c> very</c><00:12:32.840><c> close.</c>

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.940
You<00:12:34.000><c> know</c><00:12:34.220><c> that</c><00:12:34.519><c> Saul,</c><00:12:35.220><c> Samuel</c><00:12:35.600><c> loved</c><00:12:36.019><c> Saul.</c>

00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:38.679
And<00:12:37.200><c> actually,</c><00:12:37.480><c> when</c><00:12:37.659><c> the</c><00:12:37.799><c> kingdom</c><00:12:38.000><c> was</c><00:12:38.220><c> taken</c><00:12:38.500><c> from,</c>

00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:41.820
the<00:12:38.860><c> crown</c><00:12:39.039><c> was</c><00:12:39.240><c> taken</c><00:12:39.460><c> from,</c><00:12:39.879><c> he</c><00:12:40.120><c> cried</c><00:12:40.419><c> all</c><00:12:40.679><c> night</c><00:12:40.820><c> to</c><00:12:41.039><c> God.</c>

00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:48.059
So<00:12:42.320><c> there</c><00:12:42.460><c> was</c><00:12:42.720><c> a</c><00:12:42.899><c> general</c><00:12:44.019><c> love</c><00:12:44.940><c> and</c><00:12:45.259><c> affection</c><00:12:45.799><c> by</c><00:12:47.480><c> Samuel</c>

00:12:48.059 --> 00:12:49.179
to<00:12:48.399><c> Saul.</c>

00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:53.659
So<00:12:51.179><c> Saul</c><00:12:51.559><c> is</c><00:12:51.759><c> going</c><00:12:51.840><c> to</c><00:12:51.940><c> have</c><00:12:52.120><c> a</c><00:12:52.320><c> first</c><00:12:52.559><c> big</c><00:12:53.299><c> test.</c>

00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:55.419
Nahash<00:12:54.440><c> the</c><00:12:54.639><c> Ammonite.</c>

00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.320
And<00:12:57.899><c> Saul</c><00:12:58.039><c> does</c><00:12:58.240><c> something</c><00:12:58.600><c> interesting.</c>

00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.879
He<00:13:00.139><c> takes</c><00:13:00.460><c> his</c><00:13:00.879><c> oxen</c><00:13:01.220><c> and</c><00:13:01.379><c> he</c><00:13:01.580><c> cuts</c><00:13:01.740><c> them</c><00:13:01.980><c> up.</c>

00:13:03.179 --> 00:13:06.419
Oxen<00:13:03.659><c> were</c><00:13:03.960><c> very</c><00:13:04.399><c> expensive</c><00:13:05.259><c> back</c><00:13:05.960><c> in</c><00:13:06.139><c> the</c><00:13:06.259><c> day.</c>

00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:08.259
That<00:13:06.519><c> was</c><00:13:06.679><c> like</c><00:13:06.860><c> one</c><00:13:06.960><c> of</c><00:13:07.059><c> the</c><00:13:07.139><c> most</c><00:13:07.419><c> expensive</c><00:13:07.879><c> animals</c>

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:09.519
that<00:13:08.460><c> you</c><00:13:08.600><c> could</c><00:13:08.799><c> have,</c><00:13:09.059><c> oxen.</c>

00:13:09.860 --> 00:13:14.419
Not<00:13:10.100><c> only</c><00:13:10.320><c> are</c><00:13:10.480><c> they</c><00:13:10.700><c> providing</c><00:13:11.419><c> food</c><00:13:13.259><c> and</c><00:13:13.519><c> sustenance</c><00:13:14.059><c> and</c><00:13:14.220><c> stuff</c>

00:13:14.419 --> 00:13:17.500
like<00:13:14.720><c> that,</c><00:13:15.240><c> but</c><00:13:15.399><c> also</c><00:13:16.039><c> if</c><00:13:17.159><c> you</c><00:13:17.279><c> wanted</c>

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:21.220
to<00:13:17.860><c> plow</c><00:13:18.200><c> a</c><00:13:18.419><c> long</c><00:13:18.679><c> distance,</c><00:13:19.620><c> you</c><00:13:19.700><c> needed</c><00:13:19.960><c> oxen.</c>

00:13:21.980 --> 00:13:24.120
Horses,<00:13:22.700><c> you</c><00:13:22.960><c> could</c><00:13:23.139><c> do</c><00:13:23.299><c> it</c><00:13:23.460><c> for</c><00:13:23.639><c> a</c><00:13:23.740><c> little</c><00:13:23.940><c> bit,</c>

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.399
but<00:13:24.279><c> horses</c><00:13:24.659><c> don't</c><00:13:24.940><c> have</c><00:13:25.139><c> the</c><00:13:25.379><c> same</c><00:13:25.600><c> type</c><00:13:25.860><c> of</c><00:13:26.240><c> strength</c><00:13:26.500><c> and</c><00:13:26.779><c> physiology</c>

00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:28.879
that<00:13:27.720><c> an</c><00:13:27.960><c> ox</c><00:13:28.080><c> does.</c>

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.460
And<00:13:29.019><c> so</c><00:13:29.299><c> oxen,</c><00:13:29.759><c> before</c><00:13:29.960><c> they</c><00:13:30.120><c> got</c><00:13:30.240><c> the</c><00:13:30.419><c> big</c><00:13:30.639><c> harnesses</c>

00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:34.899
for<00:13:31.759><c> those</c><00:13:32.019><c> horses,</c><00:13:32.759><c> it</c><00:13:32.779><c> was</c><00:13:32.940><c> very</c><00:13:33.259><c> difficult</c><00:13:33.679><c> for</c><00:13:33.940><c> horses</c><00:13:34.259><c> to</c><00:13:34.539><c> plow.</c>

00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.620
They<00:13:35.399><c> shied</c><00:13:35.779><c> away</c><00:13:36.120><c> from</c><00:13:36.340><c> horses.</c>

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:40.580
With<00:13:37.419><c> oxen,</c><00:13:38.299><c> you</c><00:13:38.500><c> had</c><00:13:38.720><c> that</c><00:13:39.120><c> strength</c><00:13:39.539><c> that</c><00:13:39.759><c> you</c><00:13:39.899><c> could</c><00:13:40.100><c> go</c><00:13:40.440><c> a</c>

00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:41.159
long<00:13:40.779><c> period</c>

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.720
of<00:13:41.419><c> time</c><00:13:42.159><c> to</c><00:13:43.320><c> plow.</c>

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.759
And<00:13:43.940><c> so</c><00:13:44.059><c> that's</c><00:13:44.320><c> why</c><00:13:44.500><c> they</c><00:13:44.679><c> had</c><00:13:44.820><c> oxen.</c>

00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:47.320
And<00:13:46.080><c> Saul</c><00:13:46.200><c> kills</c><00:13:46.659><c> his</c><00:13:46.940><c> oxen.</c>

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.139
It's<00:13:47.940><c> almost</c><00:13:48.220><c> like</c><00:13:48.500><c> Saul</c><00:13:48.720><c> saying,</c><00:13:49.000><c> we're</c><00:13:49.259><c> all</c><00:13:49.519><c> in</c><00:13:49.620><c> on</c><00:13:49.840><c> this.</c>

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:52.480
We're<00:13:50.860><c> going</c><00:13:51.039><c> all</c><00:13:51.399><c> in</c><00:13:51.500><c> on</c><00:13:51.700><c> it.</c>

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.480
Great<00:13:52.879><c> little</c><00:13:53.220><c> story</c><00:13:53.639><c> about,</c><00:13:54.820><c> I</c><00:13:55.120><c> know</c><00:13:55.360><c> I'm</c>

00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.259
going<00:13:55.639><c> down</c><00:13:55.860><c> a</c><00:13:56.100><c> historical</c><00:13:56.519><c> rabbit</c><00:13:56.860><c> hole</c><00:13:57.000><c> here,</c>

00:13:57.259 --> 00:14:01.700
but<00:13:57.600><c> when</c><00:13:58.220><c> Cortez,</c><00:13:59.919><c> the</c><00:14:00.240><c> Spanish</c><00:14:00.720><c> conquistador,</c>

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:06.299
came<00:14:02.059><c> over</c><00:14:02.419><c> to</c><00:14:02.940><c> Mexico</c><00:14:03.620><c> and</c><00:14:04.200><c> was</c><00:14:04.440><c> fighting</c><00:14:04.779><c> the</c><00:14:05.179><c> Aztecs,</c>

00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:11.159
one<00:14:06.539><c> of</c><00:14:06.720><c> the</c><00:14:06.840><c> things</c><00:14:07.179><c> that</c><00:14:07.419><c> he</c><00:14:07.600><c> did</c><00:14:08.080><c> was</c><00:14:08.759><c> he</c><00:14:09.279><c> burned</c><00:14:09.620><c> all</c><00:14:09.960><c> his</c><00:14:10.240><c> ships.</c>

00:14:11.460 --> 00:14:13.500
Cortez<00:14:11.980><c> burned</c><00:14:12.299><c> all</c><00:14:12.559><c> his</c><00:14:12.759><c> ships.</c>

00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:16.500
And<00:14:13.860><c> he's</c><00:14:14.120><c> telling</c><00:14:14.340><c> his</c><00:14:14.639><c> men,</c><00:14:15.320><c> there's</c><00:14:15.460><c> no</c><00:14:15.679><c> way</c><00:14:15.919><c> back,</c><00:14:16.399><c> baby.</c>

00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.639
We're<00:14:17.220><c> going,</c><00:14:17.899><c> and</c><00:14:18.179><c> this</c><00:14:18.379><c> is</c><00:14:18.559><c> it.</c>

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:19.580
This<00:14:18.860><c> is</c><00:14:19.139><c> our</c><00:14:19.360><c> path.</c>

00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:23.200
And<00:14:19.740><c> I</c><00:14:19.840><c> think</c><00:14:19.980><c> in</c><00:14:20.159><c> a</c><00:14:20.279><c> lot</c><00:14:20.460><c> of</c><00:14:20.659><c> ways,</c><00:14:21.580><c> Saul</c><00:14:21.759><c> was</c><00:14:22.019><c> doing</c><00:14:22.279><c> that</c><00:14:22.580><c> as</c><00:14:22.820><c> well.</c>

00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:25.600
Killing<00:14:24.019><c> my</c><00:14:24.340><c> oxen.</c>

00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:27.720
There's<00:14:26.460><c> no</c><00:14:26.679><c> turning</c><00:14:26.960><c> back</c><00:14:27.340><c> now.</c>

00:14:28.059 --> 00:14:31.559
And<00:14:28.440><c> the</c><00:14:28.600><c> other</c><00:14:28.820><c> message</c><00:14:29.240><c> is,</c><00:14:30.080><c> if</c><00:14:30.139><c> you</c><00:14:30.419><c> don't</c><00:14:30.720><c> follow</c><00:14:31.200><c> me,</c>

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.039
I'm<00:14:31.860><c> killing</c><00:14:32.139><c> your</c><00:14:32.580><c> oxen</c><00:14:32.879><c> too.</c>

00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.500
I'm<00:14:33.240><c> going</c><00:14:33.299><c> to</c><00:14:33.399><c> take</c><00:14:33.639><c> away</c><00:14:33.960><c> your</c><00:14:34.519><c> livelihood</c>

00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:36.720
if<00:14:35.779><c> you're</c><00:14:36.000><c> not</c><00:14:36.259><c> in</c><00:14:36.399><c> on</c><00:14:36.620><c> this.</c>

00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:37.980
You<00:14:36.860><c> need</c><00:14:37.120><c> to</c><00:14:37.240><c> be</c><00:14:37.419><c> in</c><00:14:37.519><c> on</c><00:14:37.700><c> this.</c>

00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:40.879
One<00:14:38.580><c> of</c><00:14:38.720><c> the</c><00:14:38.860><c> enemies</c><00:14:39.159><c> of</c><00:14:39.399><c> Israel</c><00:14:39.940><c> is</c><00:14:40.580><c> trying</c>

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.639
to<00:14:41.259><c> kill,</c><00:14:42.019><c> put</c><00:14:42.519><c> out</c><00:14:42.679><c> their</c><00:14:42.980><c> eyes,</c><00:14:43.340><c> and</c><00:14:43.539><c> everything</c><00:14:43.799><c> else.</c>

00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:46.519
This<00:14:45.200><c> needs</c><00:14:45.500><c> to</c><00:14:45.679><c> be</c><00:14:45.860><c> taken</c><00:14:46.059><c> care</c><00:14:46.340><c> of.</c>

00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.039
And<00:14:46.679><c> so</c><00:14:46.980><c> that's</c><00:14:47.440><c> what</c><00:14:47.580><c> Saul</c><00:14:47.740><c> did.</c>

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:49.700
First,<00:14:48.679><c> he</c><00:14:48.820><c> led</c><00:14:48.940><c> by</c><00:14:49.220><c> example.</c>

00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:51.100
He<00:14:49.960><c> killed</c><00:14:50.200><c> his</c><00:14:50.419><c> own</c><00:14:50.600><c> oxen.</c>

00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:53.120
And<00:14:51.500><c> he</c><00:14:51.659><c> sent</c><00:14:51.860><c> the</c><00:14:52.080><c> word</c><00:14:52.259><c> out.</c>

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.240
You<00:14:53.379><c> either</c><00:14:54.500><c> come</c><00:14:54.759><c> or</c><00:14:54.940><c> you're</c><00:14:55.139><c> my</c><00:14:55.340><c> enemy.</c>

00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:58.539
And<00:14:57.679><c> they</c><00:14:57.840><c> ended</c><00:14:58.080><c> up</c><00:14:58.340><c> coming.</c>

00:14:58.899 --> 00:15:02.500
Little<00:14:59.399><c> background</c><00:15:00.059><c> on</c><00:15:00.399><c> Ammon,</c><00:15:00.840><c> pretty</c><00:15:01.100><c> interesting</c><00:15:01.600><c> stuff.</c>

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:08.480
Long<00:15:04.899><c> history</c><00:15:05.659><c> of</c><00:15:06.139><c> animosity</c><00:15:06.879><c> with</c><00:15:07.200><c> Israel.</c>

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.820
Moab<00:15:09.659><c> and</c><00:15:10.039><c> Amnon</c><00:15:10.460><c> were</c><00:15:10.919><c> the</c><00:15:11.220><c> product</c><00:15:11.600><c> of</c><00:15:13.299><c> incest</c>

00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:16.059
with<00:15:14.179><c> Lot</c><00:15:14.419><c> and</c><00:15:15.399><c> his</c><00:15:15.580><c> daughters.</c>

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:19.360
We<00:15:16.700><c> know</c><00:15:16.899><c> that</c><00:15:17.100><c> from</c><00:15:17.299><c> the</c><00:15:17.460><c> 19th</c><00:15:18.019><c> chapter</c><00:15:18.279><c> of</c><00:15:18.480><c> Genesis.</c>

00:15:19.779 --> 00:15:21.399
So<00:15:19.980><c> they</c><00:15:20.120><c> were</c><00:15:20.399><c> related.</c>

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:26.200
But<00:15:21.600><c> there</c><00:15:21.759><c> was</c><00:15:22.039><c> a</c><00:15:22.460><c> tinge</c><00:15:23.000><c> of,</c><00:15:24.860><c> not</c><00:15:25.480><c> really</c><00:15:25.779><c> a</c><00:15:25.960><c> tinge,</c>

00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:30.399
but<00:15:26.460><c> there</c><00:15:27.419><c> was</c><00:15:27.639><c> a</c><00:15:27.899><c> spot</c><00:15:28.159><c> on</c><00:15:29.059><c> their</c><00:15:29.279><c> heritage.</c>

00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.039
They<00:15:31.659><c> had</c><00:15:31.879><c> their</c><00:15:32.120><c> own</c><00:15:32.360><c> family</c><00:15:32.720><c> issues.</c>

00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.879
But<00:15:33.340><c> the</c><00:15:33.539><c> fact</c><00:15:33.679><c> of</c><00:15:33.879><c> the</c><00:15:33.960><c> matter</c><00:15:34.200><c> is,</c><00:15:34.519><c> did</c><00:15:34.580><c> Israel</c>

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.039
have<00:15:35.100><c> their</c><00:15:35.360><c> family</c><00:15:35.720><c> issues?</c>

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:37.940
100<00:15:36.500><c>%</c><00:15:36.840><c> they</c><00:15:37.059><c> did.</c>

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:44.000
Let's<00:15:39.000><c> think</c><00:15:39.279><c> about</c><00:15:39.840><c> Jacob</c><00:15:40.460><c> and</c><00:15:41.120><c> his</c><00:15:42.480><c> sons</c><00:15:42.860><c> and</c><00:15:43.059><c> all</c><00:15:43.259><c> the</c><00:15:43.460><c> shenanigans</c>

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.299
that<00:15:44.200><c> they</c><00:15:44.399><c> were</c><00:15:44.620><c> involved</c><00:15:45.039><c> in.</c>

00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:46.460
Judah.

00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.100
There's<00:15:46.899><c> a</c><00:15:46.960><c> whole</c><00:15:47.460><c> couple</c><00:15:47.759><c> chapters,</c><00:15:48.360><c> or</c><00:15:48.500><c> one</c><00:15:48.720><c> chapter,</c>

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:52.500
on<00:15:49.379><c> Judah</c><00:15:49.679><c> and</c><00:15:50.299><c> his</c><00:15:51.080><c> sexual</c><00:15:51.539><c> immorality,</c>

00:15:52.899 --> 00:15:54.480
some<00:15:53.019><c> of</c><00:15:53.179><c> the</c><00:15:53.399><c> decisions</c><00:15:53.720><c> that</c><00:15:54.000><c> he</c><00:15:54.120><c> made.</c>

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.620
So<00:15:55.259><c> let's</c><00:15:55.559><c> not</c><00:15:55.799><c> get</c><00:15:56.000><c> all</c><00:15:56.240><c> high</c><00:15:56.500><c> and</c><00:15:56.679><c> mighty,</c><00:15:56.980><c> Israel.</c>

00:15:57.940 --> 00:15:59.399
When<00:15:58.100><c> you're</c><00:15:58.320><c> looking</c><00:15:58.500><c> down</c><00:15:58.899><c> on</c><00:15:59.179><c> Amnon,</c>

00:15:59.419 --> 00:16:00.519
you<00:15:59.559><c> get</c><00:15:59.700><c> your</c><00:15:59.919><c> own</c><00:16:00.240><c> problem.</c>

00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.000
But<00:16:01.240><c> anyways,</c><00:16:02.200><c> so</c><00:16:02.779><c> they're</c><00:16:03.120><c> related.</c>

00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:06.440
They're<00:16:04.799><c> related</c><00:16:05.259><c> peoples.</c>

00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.940
Kind<00:16:08.779><c> of</c><00:16:08.960><c> like</c><00:16:09.500><c> the</c><00:16:10.220><c> Scottish</c><00:16:10.639><c> and</c><00:16:10.799><c> the</c><00:16:11.080><c> Irish</c><00:16:11.320><c> and</c><00:16:11.480><c> the</c><00:16:11.720><c> English.</c>

00:16:12.019 --> 00:16:14.220
They're<00:16:12.200><c> kind</c><00:16:12.419><c> of</c><00:16:12.580><c> all</c><00:16:12.840><c> related</c><00:16:13.179><c> in</c><00:16:13.399><c> that</c><00:16:13.580><c> area</c><00:16:13.879><c> as</c><00:16:14.059><c> well,</c>

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:17.980
even<00:16:14.600><c> though</c><00:16:15.259><c> they</c><00:16:16.279><c> don't</c><00:16:16.500><c> have</c><00:16:16.639><c> a</c><00:16:16.820><c> great</c><00:16:16.960><c> history.</c>

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:20.379
They<00:16:18.299><c> were</c><00:16:18.679><c> related</c><00:16:19.200><c> genetically.</c>

00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.000
It's<00:16:20.480><c> like</c><00:16:20.620><c> they</c><00:16:20.840><c> were</c><00:16:21.120><c> related</c><00:16:21.419><c> genetically.</c>

00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:25.379
But<00:16:22.460><c> some</c><00:16:23.019><c> of</c><00:16:23.259><c> our</c><00:16:23.519><c> worst</c><00:16:23.799><c> battles</c><00:16:24.320><c> in</c><00:16:24.580><c> life</c>

00:16:25.379 --> 00:16:27.759
can<00:16:26.120><c> come</c><00:16:26.340><c> from</c><00:16:26.539><c> the</c><00:16:26.779><c> family.</c>

00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.919
Knockdown,<00:16:28.620><c> drag</c><00:16:28.799><c> out</c><00:16:29.000><c> fights,</c><00:16:30.940><c> family</c><00:16:31.559><c> feuds.</c>

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.519
This<00:16:32.179><c> was</c><00:16:32.379><c> really</c><00:16:32.659><c> a</c><00:16:32.919><c> family</c><00:16:33.200><c> feud.</c>

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.600
It<00:16:33.679><c> was</c><00:16:33.919><c> a</c><00:16:34.039><c> bloody</c><00:16:34.340><c> feud,</c><00:16:34.759><c> but</c><00:16:34.940><c> it</c><00:16:35.039><c> was</c><00:16:35.279><c> a</c><00:16:35.460><c> family</c><00:16:35.759><c> feud.</c>

00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:40.500
They<00:16:37.820><c> were,</c><00:16:38.419><c> their</c><00:16:38.980><c> area,</c><00:16:39.600><c> their</c><00:16:39.840><c> territory</c>

00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:44.720
was<00:16:40.960><c> east</c><00:16:41.500><c> of</c><00:16:41.720><c> the</c><00:16:41.919><c> Jordan,</c><00:16:43.059><c> east</c><00:16:43.480><c> of</c><00:16:43.659><c> the</c><00:16:43.840><c> Jordan.</c>

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:47.759
And<00:16:45.139><c> they're</c><00:16:45.340><c> going</c><00:16:45.460><c> to</c><00:16:45.580><c> obviously</c><00:16:45.899><c> come</c><00:16:46.159><c> in</c><00:16:46.340><c> contact</c><00:16:46.740><c> with</c><00:16:46.899><c> Israel,</c>

00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.899
because<00:16:49.039><c> Reuben</c><00:16:49.559><c> and</c><00:16:50.960><c> the</c><00:16:51.179><c> half</c><00:16:52.179><c> tribe</c><00:16:52.519><c> of</c><00:16:52.899><c> Gad,</c><00:16:53.159><c> I</c><00:16:53.379><c> believe,</c>

00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.759
their<00:16:54.639><c> territory</c><00:16:55.340><c> was</c><00:16:55.720><c> east</c><00:16:56.059><c> of</c><00:16:56.220><c> the</c><00:16:56.419><c> Jordan,</c>

00:16:57.179 --> 00:16:58.360
because<00:16:57.340><c> it</c><00:16:57.500><c> was</c><00:16:57.759><c> flat</c><00:16:58.100><c> land.</c>

00:16:58.379 --> 00:16:59.440
They<00:16:58.460><c> had</c><00:16:58.639><c> a</c><00:16:58.759><c> lot</c><00:16:58.860><c> of</c><00:16:59.100><c> cattle.</c>

00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.200
So<00:17:00.080><c> it</c><00:17:00.139><c> was</c><00:17:00.379><c> good</c><00:17:00.720><c> grazing</c><00:17:01.240><c> area</c><00:17:01.700><c> for</c><00:17:02.000><c> them.</c>

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:05.200
They're<00:17:02.720><c> going</c><00:17:02.759><c> to</c><00:17:02.899><c> come</c><00:17:03.039><c> in</c><00:17:03.259><c> contact</c><00:17:03.639><c> with</c><00:17:03.860><c> the</c><00:17:04.059><c> Ammonites.</c>

00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:08.359
Israel<00:17:06.660><c> prevented</c><00:17:07.119><c> from</c><00:17:07.420><c> taking</c><00:17:07.700><c> their</c><00:17:07.980><c> land.</c>

00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:10.599
God<00:17:09.099><c> told</c><00:17:09.420><c> them</c><00:17:09.619><c> not</c><00:17:09.819><c> to</c><00:17:10.019><c> take</c><00:17:10.160><c> their</c><00:17:10.400><c> land,</c>

00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.400
to<00:17:10.839><c> leave</c><00:17:10.980><c> their</c><00:17:11.259><c> land</c><00:17:11.640><c> in</c><00:17:12.200><c> Deuteronomy.</c>

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.700
They<00:17:13.779><c> were</c><00:17:14.000><c> to</c><00:17:14.160><c> go</c><00:17:14.420><c> around.</c>

00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:17.480
When<00:17:14.799><c> they</c><00:17:14.980><c> came</c><00:17:15.319><c> in,</c><00:17:15.539><c> they</c><00:17:15.640><c> were</c><00:17:15.779><c> to</c><00:17:15.900><c> go</c><00:17:16.160><c> around</c><00:17:16.440><c> that</c><00:17:16.660><c> area.</c>

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:21.500
Rehoboam<00:17:19.619><c> had</c><00:17:20.140><c> Ammonite</c><00:17:20.599><c> blood.</c>

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:26.619
So<00:17:22.160><c> if</c><00:17:22.420><c> you</c><00:17:22.500><c> look</c><00:17:22.660><c> that</c><00:17:22.839><c> up</c><00:17:23.000><c> in</c><00:17:23.180><c> 1</c><00:17:23.380><c> Kings</c><00:17:23.740><c> 14,</c><00:17:24.500><c> the</c><00:17:24.900><c> 21st</c><00:17:25.480><c> chapter,</c>

00:17:28.159 --> 00:17:30.559
Solomon<00:17:28.799><c> had</c><00:17:29.099><c> married</c><00:17:29.460><c> an</c><00:17:29.720><c> Ammonite</c><00:17:30.099><c> woman.</c>

00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:35.579
And<00:17:31.099><c> his</c><00:17:31.259><c> mother</c><00:17:31.579><c> was</c><00:17:31.900><c> an</c><00:17:32.099><c> Ammonite,</c><00:17:32.480><c> so</c><00:17:32.759><c> Rehoboam</c><00:17:33.259><c> was</c><00:17:33.880><c> half</c><00:17:34.119><c> Ammonite.</c>

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:37.299
Interesting.

00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.960
Was<00:17:37.960><c> where</c><00:17:38.240><c> Joab</c><00:17:38.660><c> and</c><00:17:38.839><c> the</c><00:17:39.059><c> army</c><00:17:39.279><c> was</c><00:17:39.700><c> when</c><00:17:40.180><c> David</c><00:17:40.519><c> took</c><00:17:41.099><c> Bathsheba.</c>

00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:43.819
They<00:17:42.480><c> were</c><00:17:42.720><c> at</c><00:17:42.940><c> Rameth</c><00:17:43.319><c> Gilead.</c>

00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:47.599
They<00:17:44.059><c> were</c><00:17:44.299><c> taking</c><00:17:44.660><c> this</c><00:17:45.220><c> capital</c><00:17:45.640><c> city</c><00:17:46.000><c> of</c><00:17:46.240><c> the</c><00:17:46.480><c> Ammonites.</c>

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:51.220
And<00:17:48.359><c> this</c><00:17:48.559><c> is</c><00:17:48.700><c> when</c><00:17:48.940><c> David</c><00:17:49.299><c> and</c><00:17:49.480><c> his</c><00:17:49.779><c> shenanigans</c><00:17:50.400><c> with</c><00:17:50.660><c> Bathsheba</c>

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:52.480
took<00:17:51.500><c> place.</c>

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:56.599
They<00:17:54.319><c> prevented</c><00:17:54.980><c> the</c><00:17:55.359><c> Jews</c><00:17:55.660><c> from</c><00:17:56.059><c> returning</c>

00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.480
to<00:17:56.960><c> worship</c><00:17:57.339><c> in</c><00:17:57.599><c> Jerusalem</c><00:17:58.099><c> in</c><00:17:58.339><c> the</c><00:17:58.519><c> temple.</c>

00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:01.700
Tobiah<00:18:00.539><c> was</c><00:18:00.839><c> an</c><00:18:01.119><c> Ammonite.</c>

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:05.839
So<00:18:02.319><c> that's</c><00:18:02.759><c> interesting,</c><00:18:03.559><c> even</c><00:18:03.559><c> though</c><00:18:04.559><c> hundreds</c><00:18:05.180><c> and</c><00:18:05.400><c> hundreds</c>

00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:11.039
of<00:18:06.119><c> years</c><00:18:06.480><c> of</c><00:18:06.720><c> this</c><00:18:07.099><c> feud,</c><00:18:09.619><c> the</c><00:18:09.819><c> Jews</c><00:18:10.059><c> are</c><00:18:10.339><c> taken</c><00:18:10.619><c> captive.</c>

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:12.440
They<00:18:11.240><c> go</c><00:18:11.480><c> back</c><00:18:11.759><c> to</c><00:18:11.980><c> Babylon.</c>

00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:17.160
They<00:18:12.900><c> come</c><00:18:13.319><c> back</c><00:18:13.740><c> under</c><00:18:14.099><c> Cyrus</c><00:18:14.740><c> with</c><00:18:15.240><c> the</c><00:18:16.019><c> Persians.</c>

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.859
And<00:18:17.980><c> who's</c><00:18:18.200><c> waiting</c><00:18:18.460><c> for</c><00:18:18.759><c> them?</c>

00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:20.480
Their<00:18:19.099><c> old</c><00:18:19.380><c> enemy,</c><00:18:20.000><c> the</c><00:18:20.160><c> Ammonites.</c>

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:21.140
No,<00:18:20.759><c> no,</c><00:18:20.859><c> no,</c><00:18:20.980><c> no.</c>

00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:22.220
We<00:18:21.240><c> don't</c><00:18:21.400><c> want</c><00:18:21.539><c> any</c><00:18:21.759><c> Jews</c><00:18:22.000><c> here.</c>

00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:23.200
Get<00:18:22.380><c> them</c><00:18:22.519><c> out</c><00:18:22.680><c> of</c><00:18:22.819><c> here.</c>

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:24.839
Nothing<00:18:23.660><c> but</c><00:18:23.900><c> trouble.</c>

00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:25.880
Look<00:18:25.319><c> it</c><00:18:25.539><c> up.</c>

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.440
Look<00:18:26.319><c> it</c><00:18:26.460><c> up</c><00:18:26.599><c> in</c><00:18:26.740><c> the</c><00:18:26.940><c> annals</c><00:18:27.119><c> of</c><00:18:27.319><c> the</c><00:18:27.519><c> kings.</c>

00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.819
Nothing<00:18:29.000><c> but</c><00:18:29.299><c> trouble</c><00:18:29.559><c> in</c><00:18:29.799><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:18:31.659 --> 00:18:34.960
That<00:18:32.139><c> was</c><00:18:32.619><c> the</c><00:18:32.799><c> argument</c><00:18:33.160><c> that</c><00:18:33.480><c> they</c><00:18:33.960><c> were</c><00:18:34.140><c> making.</c>

00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:40.440
And<00:18:37.180><c> historical,</c><00:18:37.859><c> they</c><00:18:38.079><c> also</c><00:18:38.480><c> fought</c><00:18:38.759><c> the</c><00:18:39.079><c> Maccabees.</c>

00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:41.559
So<00:18:40.740><c> think</c><00:18:41.059><c> about</c><00:18:41.319><c> that.</c>

00:18:41.779 --> 00:18:47.680
From<00:18:41.779><c> the</c><00:18:42.079><c> time</c><00:18:42.720><c> of</c><00:18:43.079><c> Abraham</c><00:18:43.900><c> to</c><00:18:45.119><c> the</c><00:18:45.400><c> time</c><00:18:45.660><c> of</c><00:18:45.920><c> the</c><00:18:46.099><c> Maccabees,</c>

00:18:47.979 --> 00:18:50.019
it's<00:18:48.619><c> 2</c><00:18:48.900><c>,500</c><00:18:49.359><c> years.</c>

00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:56.880
It's<00:18:51.000><c> 2</c><00:18:51.400><c>,500</c><00:18:52.180><c> years</c><00:18:53.339><c> of</c><00:18:54.420><c> animosity,</c><00:18:55.680><c> of</c><00:18:55.880><c> hatred.</c>

00:18:57.019 --> 00:18:58.640
That<00:18:57.200><c> is</c><00:18:57.460><c> a</c><00:18:57.759><c> long</c><00:18:58.180><c> time.</c>

00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:02.240
You<00:18:58.940><c> would</c><00:18:59.279><c> think</c><00:18:59.480><c> eventually</c><00:19:00.039><c> they</c><00:19:00.240><c> would</c><00:19:00.480><c> just</c><00:19:00.700><c> kind</c><00:19:00.859><c> of</c><00:19:01.619><c> make</c><00:19:01.920><c> up</c>

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.839
and<00:19:02.720><c> try</c><00:19:03.220><c> to</c><00:19:03.640><c> work</c><00:19:03.880><c> together.</c>

00:19:04.859 --> 00:19:06.700
No,<00:19:05.599><c> didn't</c><00:19:05.859><c> happen.</c>

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.279
And<00:19:06.960><c> so</c><00:19:07.059><c> it's</c><00:19:07.240><c> really</c><00:19:07.519><c> going</c><00:19:07.680><c> to</c><00:19:07.859><c> take</c><00:19:08.160><c> Rome</c><00:19:08.559><c> coming</c><00:19:08.900><c> in</c><00:19:09.160><c> here</c>

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:11.259
and<00:19:09.519><c> kind</c><00:19:09.539><c> of</c><00:19:09.660><c> just</c><00:19:09.920><c> laying</c><00:19:10.140><c> waste</c><00:19:10.460><c> to</c><00:19:10.660><c> the</c><00:19:10.759><c> whole</c><00:19:10.980><c> area</c>

00:19:11.259 --> 00:19:13.759
to<00:19:11.460><c> kind</c><00:19:11.680><c> of</c><00:19:12.119><c> get</c><00:19:12.279><c> rid</c><00:19:12.500><c> of</c><00:19:12.660><c> a</c><00:19:12.759><c> lot</c><00:19:12.900><c> of</c><00:19:13.039><c> this</c><00:19:13.220><c> blood</c><00:19:13.539><c> feud.</c>

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:15.680
But<00:19:14.119><c> I</c><00:19:14.339><c> just</c><00:19:14.500><c> found</c><00:19:14.660><c> that</c><00:19:14.900><c> interesting,</c><00:19:15.359><c> right?</c>

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.500
There's<00:19:16.119><c> a</c><00:19:16.319><c> blood</c><00:19:16.559><c> feud</c><00:19:16.740><c> that</c><00:19:16.920><c> was</c><00:19:17.160><c> going</c><00:19:17.460><c> on</c><00:19:18.099><c> between</c><00:19:18.660><c> Israel</c>

00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:22.660
and<00:19:19.900><c> Amnon</c><00:19:20.660><c> 2</c><00:19:21.279><c>,500</c><00:19:21.740><c> years.</c>

00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:24.660
All<00:19:23.720><c> right.</c>

00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.480
That's<00:19:25.200><c> a</c><00:19:25.319><c> commitment,</c><00:19:26.559><c> Butchi.</c>

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:32.200
Just<00:19:30.339><c> a</c><00:19:30.500><c> quick</c><00:19:30.619><c> look</c><00:19:30.839><c> up</c><00:19:31.059><c> here</c><00:19:31.279><c> at</c><00:19:31.440><c> the</c><00:19:31.900><c> map.</c>

00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:33.900
Again,<00:19:32.759><c> this</c><00:19:32.980><c> is</c><00:19:33.180><c> kind</c><00:19:33.359><c> of</c><00:19:33.460><c> the</c><00:19:33.660><c> area</c><00:19:33.799><c> you</c>

00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:36.400
can<00:19:34.180><c> see</c><00:19:34.359><c> that</c><00:19:34.640><c> Israel</c><00:19:35.079><c> is</c><00:19:35.440><c> hemmed</c><00:19:35.759><c> in</c><00:19:35.940><c> in</c><00:19:36.079><c> the</c><00:19:36.240><c> middle</c>

00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.720
like<00:19:36.559><c> we</c><00:19:36.779><c> talked</c><00:19:37.059><c> about,</c><00:19:37.859><c> the</c><00:19:38.019><c> hills</c><00:19:38.319><c> of</c><00:19:38.539><c> Israel.</c>

00:19:40.859 --> 00:19:43.079
If<00:19:40.859><c> we</c><00:19:41.259><c> make</c><00:19:41.400><c> a</c><00:19:41.660><c> connection</c><00:19:41.960><c> actually</c><00:19:42.400><c> today,</c>

00:19:43.380 --> 00:19:47.220
there's<00:19:43.640><c> a</c><00:19:43.799><c> lot</c><00:19:44.039><c> of</c><00:19:45.420><c> controversy</c><00:19:46.380><c> in</c><00:19:46.700><c> this</c><00:19:46.960><c> area</c>

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:48.660
because<00:19:47.519><c> a</c><00:19:47.720><c> lot</c><00:19:47.799><c> of</c><00:19:47.940><c> the</c><00:19:48.079><c> Jews</c><00:19:48.240><c> are</c><00:19:48.480><c> coming</c>

00:19:48.660 --> 00:19:50.960
and<00:19:49.019><c> they're</c><00:19:49.720><c> settling</c><00:19:50.119><c> in</c><00:19:50.380><c> this</c><00:19:50.599><c> area.</c>

00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.339
And<00:19:51.460><c> they're</c><00:19:51.640><c> saying,</c><00:19:51.819><c> well,</c><00:19:51.960><c> this</c><00:19:52.180><c> is</c><00:19:52.359><c> our</c><00:19:52.539><c> historical</c><00:19:53.039><c> area.</c>

00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.119
These<00:19:53.539><c> are</c><00:19:55.180><c> the</c><00:19:55.259><c> hills</c><00:19:55.519><c> of</c><00:19:55.740><c> Samaria.</c>

00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:57.380
These<00:19:56.319><c> are</c><00:19:56.519><c> the</c><00:19:56.660><c> hills</c><00:19:56.900><c> of</c><00:19:57.160><c> Judah.</c>

00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:59.740
But<00:19:58.079><c> it's</c><00:19:58.779><c> disputed</c><00:19:59.079><c> area,</c><00:19:59.460><c> right?</c>

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:03.200
The<00:20:00.119><c> Palestinians</c><00:20:00.619><c> kind</c><00:20:00.900><c> of</c><00:20:01.059><c> have</c><00:20:01.200><c> that</c><00:20:01.960><c> area</c><00:20:02.299><c> in</c><00:20:02.480><c> the</c><00:20:02.640><c> West</c><00:20:02.880><c> Bank.</c>

00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.039
And<00:20:03.619><c> Israel</c><00:20:04.000><c> is</c><00:20:04.359><c> buying</c><00:20:04.720><c> land</c><00:20:05.039><c> and</c><00:20:05.259><c> actually</c><00:20:05.539><c> building</c><00:20:05.960><c> settlements.</c>

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:09.000
There's<00:20:08.160><c> settlements,</c><00:20:08.480><c> but</c><00:20:08.579><c> they're</c><00:20:08.759><c> actually</c>

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.940
like<00:20:09.299><c> towns</c><00:20:09.619><c> and</c><00:20:09.920><c> cities</c><00:20:10.380><c> along</c><00:20:11.259><c> this</c><00:20:11.640><c> area.</c>

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.140
So<00:20:12.259><c> again,</c><00:20:12.559><c> that</c><00:20:12.819><c> still</c><00:20:13.099><c> has</c><00:20:13.339><c> not</c><00:20:13.539><c> been</c><00:20:13.799><c> resolved.</c>

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:16.920
So<00:20:14.660><c> you</c><00:20:14.819><c> could</c><00:20:15.039><c> actually</c><00:20:15.440><c> say</c><00:20:15.720><c> that</c><00:20:15.920><c> they're</c><00:20:16.279><c> continuing</c><00:20:16.579><c> on.</c>

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:19.859
These<00:20:17.200><c> people</c><00:20:17.460><c> are</c><00:20:17.779><c> continuing</c><00:20:18.059><c> on</c><00:20:19.160><c> their</c><00:20:19.539><c> blood</c>

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:21.000
feud<00:20:20.039><c> from</c><00:20:20.319><c> way</c><00:20:20.539><c> back</c><00:20:20.839><c> when.</c>

00:20:21.180 --> 00:20:25.500
So<00:20:21.400><c> anyways,</c><00:20:22.339><c> the</c><00:20:22.700><c> Arabs</c><00:20:23.099><c> and</c><00:20:23.299><c> the</c><00:20:23.460><c> Jews</c><00:20:23.599><c> are</c><00:20:23.900><c> related</c><00:20:24.220><c> as</c><00:20:24.680><c> well.</c>

00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:30.420
OK,<00:20:27.359><c> here</c><00:20:27.700><c> is</c><00:20:27.940><c> an</c><00:20:28.180><c> account</c><00:20:28.619><c> of</c><00:20:29.059><c> this</c><00:20:29.400><c> kind</c><00:20:29.539><c> of</c><00:20:29.759><c> Saul's</c><00:20:30.220><c> first</c>

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:31.039
big<00:20:30.720><c> test,</c>

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:31.740
his<00:20:31.339><c> battle.</c>

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:34.880
From<00:20:32.180><c> the</c><00:20:32.440><c> Dead</c><00:20:32.660><c> Sea</c><00:20:32.880><c> Scrolls,</c><00:20:34.099><c> the</c><00:20:34.380><c> Aseans</c>

00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:37.059
actually<00:20:35.319><c> kept</c><00:20:35.539><c> a</c><00:20:35.680><c> lot</c><00:20:35.880><c> of</c><00:20:36.039><c> this</c><00:20:36.220><c> stuff.</c>

00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:39.380
Nahash,<00:20:38.220><c> King</c><00:20:38.359><c> of</c><00:20:38.519><c> the</c><00:20:38.720><c> Ammonites,</c><00:20:39.180><c> would</c>

00:20:39.380 --> 00:20:42.099
put<00:20:39.599><c> hard</c><00:20:39.859><c> pressure</c><00:20:40.279><c> on</c><00:20:40.599><c> the</c><00:20:40.759><c> descendants</c><00:20:41.299><c> of</c><00:20:41.759><c> Gad</c>

00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:44.140
and<00:20:42.819><c> the</c><00:20:43.000><c> descendants</c><00:20:43.460><c> of</c><00:20:43.779><c> Reuben.</c>

00:20:44.339 --> 00:20:46.299
We<00:20:44.619><c> just</c><00:20:44.900><c> talked</c><00:20:45.119><c> about</c><00:20:45.420><c> that.</c>

00:20:46.380 --> 00:20:49.339
And<00:20:46.680><c> would</c><00:20:47.180><c> gouge</c><00:20:47.680><c> everyone's</c><00:20:48.460><c> right</c><00:20:48.779><c> eye</c><00:20:49.059><c> out.</c>

00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:54.720
So<00:20:49.839><c> imagine</c><00:20:50.380><c> that's</c><00:20:50.940><c> kind</c><00:20:51.200><c> of,</c><00:20:51.519><c> just</c><00:20:51.900><c> think</c><00:20:52.200><c> about</c><00:20:52.900><c> all</c><00:20:54.500><c> of</c>

00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.799
your<00:20:54.980><c> men</c>

00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:58.000
lose<00:20:56.460><c> their</c><00:20:56.779><c> right</c><00:20:57.079><c> eye.</c>

00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:01.019
It's<00:20:59.400><c> just</c><00:20:59.740><c> humiliating.</c>

00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:04.519
And<00:21:01.359><c> obviously,</c><00:21:03.119><c> a</c><00:21:03.400><c> one</c><00:21:03.680><c>-eyed</c><00:21:03.859><c> guy</c><00:21:04.220><c> is</c><00:21:04.319><c> not</c>

00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:06.619
going<00:21:04.599><c> to</c><00:21:04.700><c> be</c><00:21:04.839><c> great</c><00:21:05.059><c> in</c><00:21:05.319><c> battle</c><00:21:05.559><c> either.</c>

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:08.819
You're<00:21:07.140><c> taking</c><00:21:07.500><c> someone's</c><00:21:08.180><c> eye.</c>

00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:10.880
Just<00:21:09.519><c> think</c><00:21:09.700><c> about</c><00:21:09.859><c> everything</c><00:21:10.180><c> involved</c><00:21:10.599><c> in</c><00:21:10.779><c> that.</c>

00:21:10.900 --> 00:21:13.359
The<00:21:11.180><c> pain,</c><00:21:11.480><c> you're</c><00:21:11.599><c> lining</c><00:21:11.839><c> up</c><00:21:12.099><c> next,</c><00:21:12.720><c> please.</c>

00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:15.079
Just<00:21:14.059><c> take</c><00:21:14.339><c> out</c><00:21:14.480><c> your</c><00:21:14.680><c> right</c><00:21:14.880><c> eye.</c>

00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:16.339
Craziness.

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.440
And<00:21:16.940><c> so</c><00:21:17.180><c> obviously,</c><00:21:17.619><c> this</c><00:21:17.839><c> is</c><00:21:18.119><c> a</c><00:21:18.220><c> concern.</c>

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:24.339
But<00:21:20.160><c> no</c><00:21:20.480><c> rescue</c><00:21:21.019><c> would</c><00:21:22.279><c> be</c><00:21:22.519><c> provided</c><00:21:23.019><c> for</c><00:21:23.259><c> Israel.</c>

00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:27.259
And<00:21:24.700><c> there</c><00:21:24.839><c> was</c><00:21:25.099><c> not</c><00:21:25.400><c> left</c><00:21:25.700><c> anyone</c><00:21:26.099><c> among</c><00:21:26.400><c> the</c><00:21:26.599><c> children</c><00:21:26.799><c> of</c><00:21:27.079><c> Israel</c>

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:31.640
and<00:21:27.440><c> the</c><00:21:27.700><c> Transjordan</c><00:21:28.480><c> over</c><00:21:28.900><c> the</c><00:21:29.200><c> Jordan</c><00:21:29.720><c> whose</c><00:21:30.940><c> right</c><00:21:31.400><c> eye,</c>

00:21:31.700 --> 00:21:34.619
Nahash,<00:21:32.180><c> the</c><00:21:32.319><c> King</c><00:21:32.460><c> of</c><00:21:32.660><c> the</c><00:21:32.880><c> Ammonites,</c><00:21:33.380><c> did</c><00:21:33.640><c> not</c><00:21:33.960><c> gouge</c><00:21:34.339><c> out.</c>

00:21:34.660 --> 00:21:36.460
So<00:21:34.880><c> this</c><00:21:35.140><c> one</c><00:21:35.359><c> right</c><00:21:35.619><c> here</c><00:21:35.839><c> is</c><00:21:35.960><c> saying</c><00:21:36.160><c> that</c><00:21:36.319><c> there</c>

00:21:36.460 --> 00:21:39.460
were<00:21:36.640><c> some</c><00:21:36.940><c> people</c><00:21:37.680><c> that</c><00:21:38.700><c> had</c><00:21:38.980><c> already</c>

00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:42.279
had<00:21:39.660><c> their</c><00:21:39.940><c> right</c><00:21:40.200><c> eyes</c><00:21:40.500><c> gouged</c><00:21:41.079><c> out</c><00:21:41.440><c> by</c><00:21:41.839><c> Nahash.</c>

00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:46.640
And<00:21:42.440><c> they</c><00:21:42.519><c> were</c><00:21:42.700><c> coming</c><00:21:43.319><c> to</c><00:21:43.980><c> Kerjath</c><00:21:44.440><c>-Giram</c><00:21:44.740><c> to</c><00:21:44.900><c> do</c><00:21:45.099><c> the</c><00:21:45.339><c> same</c><00:21:45.640><c> thing.</c>

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:51.799
But<00:21:47.299><c> behold,</c><00:21:48.279><c> 7</c><00:21:48.579><c>,000</c><00:21:49.460><c> men</c><00:21:49.859><c> escaped</c><00:21:50.339><c> the</c><00:21:50.619><c> power</c><00:21:50.920><c> of</c><00:21:51.180><c> the</c><00:21:51.359><c> Ammonites.</c>

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.819
And<00:21:51.960><c> they</c><00:21:52.140><c> arrived</c><00:21:52.539><c> at</c><00:21:52.799><c> Jabesh</c><00:21:53.240><c>-Gilead.</c>

00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.539
About<00:21:54.500><c> a</c><00:21:54.740><c> month</c><00:21:54.960><c> later,</c><00:21:55.319><c> Nahash</c><00:21:55.920><c> the</c><00:21:56.099><c> Ammonite</c>

00:21:56.539 --> 00:21:59.319
went<00:21:56.680><c> up</c><00:21:56.980><c> and</c><00:21:57.259><c> besieged</c><00:21:57.799><c> Jabesh</c><00:21:58.279><c>-Gilead.</c>

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.559
So<00:22:00.600><c> this</c><00:22:01.200><c> is</c><00:22:01.460><c> kind</c><00:22:01.700><c> of</c><00:22:02.339><c> a</c><00:22:02.880><c> summary</c><00:22:03.299><c> that</c>

00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.839
was<00:22:03.859><c> found</c><00:22:04.160><c> in</c><00:22:04.380><c> the</c><00:22:04.559><c> Dead</c><00:22:04.799><c> Sea</c><00:22:04.980><c> Scrolls</c><00:22:05.460><c> of</c><00:22:05.599><c> this</c><00:22:05.880><c> event.</c>

00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:09.680
The<00:22:08.140><c> Bible</c><00:22:08.460><c> obviously</c><00:22:08.900><c> talks</c><00:22:09.180><c> about</c><00:22:09.500><c> it.</c>

00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:11.500
There's<00:22:09.960><c> a</c><00:22:10.160><c> summary</c><00:22:10.460><c> right</c><00:22:10.799><c> here</c><00:22:11.119><c> as</c><00:22:11.339><c> well.</c>

00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:13.539
So<00:22:11.740><c> this</c><00:22:11.920><c> event</c><00:22:12.160><c> took</c><00:22:12.460><c> place.</c>

00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:16.019
And<00:22:14.400><c> this</c><00:22:14.599><c> is</c><00:22:14.799><c> Saul's</c><00:22:15.240><c> first</c><00:22:15.500><c> big</c><00:22:15.740><c> test,</c>

00:22:16.059 --> 00:22:20.920
goes<00:22:16.380><c> up</c><00:22:16.640><c> and</c><00:22:17.079><c> saves</c><00:22:17.480><c> the</c><00:22:17.759><c> people</c><00:22:18.079><c> of</c><00:22:19.059><c> Jabesh</c><00:22:20.400><c>-Gilead.</c>

00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:30.980
All<00:22:20.960><c> right.</c><00:22:24.960><c> First</c><00:22:25.299><c> Samuel</c><00:22:26.160><c> 12.</c>

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.220
So<00:22:34.720><c> Samuel</c><00:22:35.059><c> actually</c><00:22:35.619><c> says</c><00:22:36.440><c> to</c><00:22:36.700><c> Israel</c>

00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:38.500
in<00:22:37.440><c> the</c><00:22:37.619><c> first</c><00:22:37.799><c> couple</c><00:22:38.059><c> of</c><00:22:38.220><c> verses,</c>

00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:40.019
And<00:22:38.720><c> Samuel</c><00:22:39.039><c> said</c><00:22:39.220><c> unto</c><00:22:39.440><c> all</c><00:22:39.720><c> Israel,</c>

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:43.519
Behold,<00:22:41.559><c> I</c><00:22:41.839><c> have</c><00:22:42.099><c> hearkened</c><00:22:42.579><c> unto</c><00:22:42.839><c> your</c><00:22:43.180><c> voice</c>

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.220
and<00:22:43.779><c> all</c><00:22:44.099><c> that</c><00:22:44.839><c> ye</c><00:22:45.299><c> said</c><00:22:45.579><c> unto</c><00:22:45.940><c> me</c>

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:47.799
and<00:22:46.339><c> have</c><00:22:46.599><c> made</c><00:22:46.880><c> a</c><00:22:47.000><c> king</c><00:22:47.259><c> over</c><00:22:47.579><c> you.</c>

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:50.900
And<00:22:47.960><c> now,</c><00:22:48.259><c> behold,</c><00:22:48.680><c> the</c><00:22:48.779><c> king</c><00:22:49.119><c> walketh</c><00:22:49.680><c> before</c><00:22:50.220><c> you.</c>

00:22:50.900 --> 00:22:53.539
And<00:22:51.220><c> I</c><00:22:51.500><c> am</c><00:22:51.720><c> old</c><00:22:52.160><c> and</c><00:22:52.440><c> gray</c><00:22:52.700><c>-headed.</c>

00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.319
And<00:22:53.680><c> behold,</c><00:22:54.480><c> my</c><00:22:54.779><c> sons</c><00:22:55.279><c> are</c><00:22:55.700><c> with</c><00:22:56.000><c> you.</c>

00:22:56.420 --> 00:22:58.099
And<00:22:56.640><c> I</c><00:22:56.839><c> have</c><00:22:57.099><c> walked</c><00:22:57.440><c> before</c><00:22:57.900><c> you</c>

00:22:58.099 --> 00:23:00.940
from<00:22:58.299><c> my</c><00:22:58.700><c> childhood</c><00:22:59.500><c> unto</c><00:23:00.299><c> this</c><00:23:00.700><c> day.</c>

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:04.220
So<00:23:01.500><c> in</c><00:23:01.799><c> a</c><00:23:01.960><c> lot</c><00:23:02.119><c> of</c><00:23:02.319><c> ways,</c><00:23:02.799><c> brothers</c><00:23:02.940><c> and</c><00:23:03.240><c> sisters,</c>

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:06.539
Saul's<00:23:04.740><c> kind</c><00:23:04.920><c> of</c><00:23:05.160><c> taking</c><00:23:05.839><c> Israel</c>

00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:08.519
and<00:23:07.039><c> handing</c><00:23:07.359><c> it</c><00:23:07.700><c> over</c><00:23:07.980><c> to</c><00:23:08.279><c> Saul.</c>

00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.359
Okay.<00:23:10.420><c> It's</c><00:23:11.059><c> your</c><00:23:11.180><c> problem</c><00:23:11.599><c> now.</c>

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:13.880
Samuel<00:23:12.799><c> is</c><00:23:13.039><c> kind</c><00:23:13.240><c> of</c><00:23:13.420><c> withdrawing.</c>

00:23:14.019 --> 00:23:16.380
He's<00:23:14.119><c> older,</c><00:23:14.839><c> right?</c><00:23:15.220><c> He's</c><00:23:15.660><c> getting</c><00:23:15.859><c> old.</c>

00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.480
And<00:23:17.380><c> he's</c><00:23:17.960><c> passing</c><00:23:18.460><c> the</c><00:23:18.700><c> baton</c><00:23:19.099><c> off,</c>

00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.500
the<00:23:19.700><c> responsibility</c><00:23:20.779><c> to</c><00:23:21.480><c> Saul</c><00:23:21.740><c> into</c><00:23:22.039><c> his</c><00:23:22.299><c> house.</c>

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:23.839
Saul's<00:23:23.019><c> in</c><00:23:23.180><c> charge</c><00:23:23.460><c> now.</c>

00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:29.099
But<00:23:24.559><c> let's</c><00:23:24.859><c> just</c><00:23:25.140><c> take</c><00:23:25.319><c> a</c><00:23:25.380><c> look</c><00:23:25.559><c> at</c><00:23:26.059><c> verse</c><00:23:26.299><c> 20.</c>

00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.339
And<00:23:33.539><c> Samuel</c><00:23:34.279><c> said</c><00:23:35.160><c> unto</c><00:23:36.519><c> the</c><00:23:36.740><c> people,</c>

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.420
Fear<00:23:37.900><c> not,</c><00:23:39.259><c> you</c><00:23:39.599><c> have</c><00:23:39.920><c> done</c><00:23:40.200><c> all</c><00:23:40.579><c> this</c><00:23:40.839><c> wickedness,</c>

00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:46.400
yet<00:23:41.960><c> turn</c><00:23:42.619><c> not</c><00:23:42.880><c> aside</c><00:23:43.880><c> from</c><00:23:44.619><c> following</c><00:23:45.119><c> the</c><00:23:45.440><c> Lord,</c>

00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:49.559
but<00:23:46.700><c> serve</c><00:23:47.279><c> the</c><00:23:47.539><c> Lord</c><00:23:48.079><c> with</c><00:23:48.680><c> all</c><00:23:49.000><c> your</c><00:23:49.279><c> heart.</c>

00:23:49.819 --> 00:23:51.839
And<00:23:50.000><c> turn</c><00:23:50.519><c> ye</c><00:23:50.960><c> not</c><00:23:51.220><c> aside,</c>

00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:56.000
for<00:23:52.140><c> then</c><00:23:52.440><c> should</c><00:23:52.779><c> ye</c><00:23:53.319><c> go</c><00:23:53.720><c> after</c><00:23:54.220><c> vain</c><00:23:54.700><c> things</c>

00:23:56.139 --> 00:23:58.720
which<00:23:56.519><c> cannot</c><00:23:57.059><c> profit</c><00:23:57.720><c> nor</c><00:23:58.079><c> deliver,</c>

00:23:59.220 --> 00:24:00.480
for<00:23:59.440><c> they</c><00:23:59.839><c> are</c><00:24:00.160><c> vain.</c>

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:08.900
And<00:24:01.019><c> so</c><00:24:02.099><c> Samuel</c><00:24:04.700><c> is</c><00:24:06.819><c> going</c><00:24:07.180><c> to</c><00:24:07.559><c> pray</c><00:24:08.099><c> for</c><00:24:08.480><c> the</c><00:24:08.660><c> people.</c>

00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:12.200
And<00:24:09.039><c> he</c><00:24:09.079><c> says,</c><00:24:09.319><c> I</c><00:24:09.759><c> won't</c><00:24:10.019><c> stop</c><00:24:10.400><c> praying</c><00:24:10.859><c> for</c><00:24:11.160><c> you.</c>

00:24:13.059 --> 00:24:15.440
But<00:24:13.460><c> there's</c><00:24:14.099><c> this</c><00:24:14.420><c> friction,</c><00:24:14.900><c> right?</c>

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.799
With<00:24:15.660><c> God.</c><00:24:17.099><c> God</c><00:24:17.099><c> was</c><00:24:19.200><c> their</c><00:24:19.500><c> king.</c>

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:21.920
They<00:24:20.380><c> should</c><00:24:20.619><c> have</c><00:24:20.759><c> been</c><00:24:20.960><c> looking</c><00:24:21.259><c> to</c><00:24:21.500><c> God.</c>

00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.259
And<00:24:22.220><c> so</c><00:24:22.400><c> Samuel's</c><00:24:22.859><c> like,</c><00:24:23.000><c> look,</c><00:24:23.279><c> I've</c><00:24:23.440><c> given</c><00:24:23.640><c> you</c><00:24:23.839><c> the</c><00:24:24.000><c> king.</c>

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:26.119
He's<00:24:24.619><c> in</c><00:24:24.839><c> charge</c><00:24:25.119><c> now.</c>

00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:28.740
Good<00:24:28.140><c> luck</c><00:24:28.339><c> to</c><00:24:28.500><c> you.</c>

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.019
But<00:24:29.140><c> I'm</c><00:24:29.279><c> going</c><00:24:29.380><c> to</c><00:24:29.480><c> be</c><00:24:29.759><c> praying</c><00:24:29.960><c> for</c><00:24:30.160><c> you</c><00:24:30.339><c> every</c><00:24:30.619><c> day.</c>

00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:32.740
I'm<00:24:31.519><c> going</c><00:24:31.579><c> to</c><00:24:31.779><c> pray</c><00:24:31.880><c> for</c><00:24:32.059><c> you</c><00:24:32.220><c> every</c><00:24:32.519><c> day.</c>

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:34.859
And<00:24:33.259><c> so</c><00:24:33.480><c> I</c><00:24:34.000><c> kind</c><00:24:34.200><c> of</c><00:24:34.359><c> thought</c><00:24:34.480><c> about</c><00:24:34.640><c> this.</c>

00:24:45.379 --> 00:24:47.539
Maybe<00:24:45.819><c> we</c><00:24:46.259><c> don't</c><00:24:46.420><c> think</c><00:24:46.660><c> that</c><00:24:46.799><c> that's</c><00:24:46.960><c> going</c><00:24:47.119><c> to</c><00:24:47.160><c> be</c><00:24:47.359><c> great</c>

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:48.500
for<00:24:47.740><c> that</c><00:24:47.940><c> person,</c><00:24:48.440><c> right?</c>

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:50.160
Whether<00:24:48.660><c> it's</c><00:24:48.940><c> our</c><00:24:49.180><c> kids,</c><00:24:49.819><c> whatever.</c>

00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:58.099
At<00:24:55.160><c> the</c><00:24:55.299><c> end</c><00:24:55.480><c> of</c><00:24:55.660><c> the</c><00:24:55.819><c> day,</c><00:24:56.500><c> that</c><00:24:56.720><c> person</c><00:24:57.099><c> has</c><00:24:57.480><c> free</c><00:24:57.819><c> will.</c>

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:59.880
They're<00:24:58.880><c> going</c><00:24:58.980><c> to</c><00:24:59.119><c> make</c><00:24:59.279><c> the</c><00:24:59.460><c> decision</c>

00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:01.339

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:04.099
And<00:25:01.819><c> I</c><00:25:01.920><c> think</c><00:25:02.099><c> a</c><00:25:02.240><c> lot</c><00:25:02.359><c> of</c><00:25:02.519><c> times</c><00:25:02.700><c> we</c><00:25:02.819><c> can</c><00:25:03.000><c> be</c><00:25:03.180><c> in</c><00:25:03.279><c> that</c><00:25:03.500><c> situation</c>

00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:05.380
like<00:25:04.480><c> Samuel</c><00:25:05.079><c> is.</c>

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:07.099
It's<00:25:05.660><c> like,</c><00:25:06.019><c> okay,</c><00:25:06.240><c> you're</c><00:25:06.480><c> going</c><00:25:06.500><c> to</c><00:25:06.559><c> do</c><00:25:06.700><c> what</c><00:25:06.839><c> you're</c><00:25:07.099><c> going</c>

00:25:07.099 --> 00:25:08.039
to<00:25:07.259><c> do.</c>

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:10.220
I<00:25:08.460><c> can't</c><00:25:08.839><c> stop</c><00:25:09.200><c> you</c><00:25:09.440><c> from</c><00:25:09.660><c> doing</c><00:25:09.900><c> it,</c>

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:12.779
but<00:25:10.619><c> I</c><00:25:10.799><c> can</c><00:25:11.119><c> do</c><00:25:11.380><c> one</c><00:25:11.759><c> thing.</c>

00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.480
I<00:25:13.339><c> can</c><00:25:13.660><c> always</c><00:25:14.119><c> pray</c><00:25:14.440><c> for</c><00:25:14.640><c> you.</c>

00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:16.140
You<00:25:15.700><c> know</c><00:25:15.759><c> what</c><00:25:15.880><c> I'm</c><00:25:15.920><c> saying?</c>

00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:18.160
No<00:25:16.380><c> one</c><00:25:16.480><c> can</c><00:25:16.720><c> stop</c><00:25:16.920><c> us</c><00:25:17.180><c> from</c><00:25:17.440><c> praying.</c>

00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.920
You<00:25:18.680><c> know,</c><00:25:18.980><c> honestly,</c><00:25:19.819><c> there's</c><00:25:20.599><c> memes</c><00:25:20.900><c> out</c><00:25:21.200><c> there,</c><00:25:21.460><c> I'm</c><00:25:21.660><c> sure.</c>

00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:25.259
But<00:25:22.400><c> there's</c><00:25:23.779><c> this</c><00:25:24.119><c> one</c><00:25:24.359><c> meme.</c>

00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:28.700
And<00:25:25.480><c> it</c><00:25:25.579><c> was</c><00:25:26.160><c> like</c><00:25:26.359><c> a</c><00:25:26.619><c> meme</c><00:25:26.779><c> that</c><00:25:26.940><c> was</c><00:25:27.099><c> sent</c><00:25:27.319><c> to</c><00:25:27.559><c> an</c><00:25:27.759><c> atheist,</c><00:25:28.440><c> right?</c>

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:31.539
Because<00:25:28.859><c> they</c><00:25:29.079><c> were</c><00:25:29.319><c> mad</c><00:25:29.700><c> that</c><00:25:29.900><c> people</c><00:25:30.140><c> were</c><00:25:30.480><c> praying</c><00:25:30.859><c> for</c><00:25:31.200><c> them.</c>

00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:33.680
And<00:25:32.099><c> so</c><00:25:32.259><c> one</c><00:25:32.480><c> guy</c><00:25:32.680><c> sent</c><00:25:32.960><c> the</c><00:25:33.160><c> meme</c><00:25:33.319><c> saying,</c>

00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:35.480
after<00:25:34.299><c> further</c><00:25:34.680><c> consideration,</c>

00:25:35.859 --> 00:25:38.519
I<00:25:36.039><c> will</c><00:25:36.200><c> be</c><00:25:36.500><c> praying</c><00:25:36.660><c> even</c><00:25:37.059><c> harder</c><00:25:37.440><c> for</c><00:25:37.740><c> you.</c>

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:42.240
Right,<00:25:40.079><c> so,</c><00:25:40.799><c> you</c><00:25:40.940><c> know,</c><00:25:41.059><c> we</c><00:25:41.599><c> have</c><00:25:41.859><c> control.</c>

00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:43.240
We<00:25:42.440><c> have</c><00:25:42.599><c> that</c><00:25:42.839><c> control.</c>

00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:46.000
We<00:25:43.480><c> can</c><00:25:43.720><c> pray</c><00:25:44.000><c> for</c><00:25:44.279><c> anybody</c><00:25:44.700><c> at</c><00:25:45.079><c> any</c><00:25:45.619><c> time.</c>

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:47.940
No<00:25:46.420><c> one</c><00:25:46.559><c> can</c><00:25:46.900><c> stop</c><00:25:47.160><c> us,</c><00:25:47.500><c> okay?</c>

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.000
And<00:25:48.660><c> that's</c><00:25:49.279><c> a</c><00:25:49.400><c> wonderful</c><00:25:49.960><c> source</c><00:25:50.380><c> of</c><00:25:50.680><c> comfort</c>

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.559
and<00:25:51.299><c> it's</c><00:25:51.980><c> a</c><00:25:52.160><c> wonderful</c><00:25:52.539><c> source</c><00:25:52.880><c> of</c><00:25:53.299><c> power</c><00:25:53.839><c> as</c><00:25:54.220><c> well.</c>

00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.440
And<00:25:55.099><c> Samuel</c><00:25:55.460><c> understood</c><00:25:55.980><c> that,</c><00:25:56.279><c> the</c><00:25:56.460><c> power</c><00:25:56.859><c> of</c><00:25:57.220><c> prayer.</c>

00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:00.980
He<00:25:57.900><c> says,</c><00:25:58.740><c> I'm</c><00:25:58.980><c> always</c><00:25:59.279><c> going</c><00:25:59.460><c> to</c><00:25:59.619><c> pray</c><00:25:59.799><c> for</c><00:26:00.019><c> Saul,</c>

Every<00:26:05.440><c> single</c><00:26:05.740><c> day</c><00:26:05.920><c> we</c><00:26:06.799><c> should</c><00:26:06.960><c> be</c><00:26:07.119><c> praying</c>

Samuel<00:26:49.660><c> gave</c><00:26:49.920><c> the</c><00:26:50.140><c> kingdom,</c><00:26:50.960><c> God</c><00:26:51.240><c> gave</c><00:26:51.480><c> the</c><00:26:51.700><c> kingdom</c><00:26:52.039><c> to</c>

00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:53.420
Saul,<00:26:53.059><c> right?</c>

00:26:53.859 --> 00:26:57.059
He<00:26:54.079><c> has</c><00:26:54.339><c> a</c><00:26:54.640><c> wonderful</c><00:26:55.259><c> kingdom</c><00:26:55.799><c> waiting</c><00:26:56.160><c> for</c><00:26:56.559><c> us</c>

00:26:57.059 --> 00:27:00.099

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:05.380
Our<00:27:00.480><c> senses</c><00:27:01.039><c> cannot</c><00:27:01.480><c> make</c><00:27:01.880><c> sense</c><00:27:02.220><c> of</c><00:27:02.420><c> the</c><00:27:02.720><c> glory</c><00:27:03.279><c> and</c><00:27:04.039><c> the</c><00:27:04.359><c> happiness</c>

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:09.880
But<00:27:08.220><c> it</c><00:27:08.380><c> is</c><00:27:08.640><c> our</c><00:27:08.839><c> father's</c><00:27:09.359><c> good</c><00:27:09.559><c> pleasure.</c>

00:27:10.339 --> 00:27:12.720
God<00:27:10.759><c> wants</c><00:27:11.079><c> to</c><00:27:11.319><c> give</c><00:27:11.420><c> us</c><00:27:11.680><c> the</c><00:27:11.880><c> kingdom.</c>

He<00:27:13.440><c> wants</c><00:27:13.779><c> it,</c><00:27:13.900><c> he</c><00:27:14.019><c> loves</c><00:27:14.380><c> us.</c>

00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:17.859
That's<00:27:15.740><c> the</c><00:27:15.880><c> ultimate</c><00:27:16.259><c> goal</c><00:27:16.599><c> of</c><00:27:16.839><c> God,</c>

00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.500

00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:24.559
All<00:27:23.299><c> right.</c>

00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:35.220
So<00:27:30.460><c> Saul</c><00:27:30.819><c> is</c><00:27:31.079><c> gonna,</c><00:27:33.259><c> he's</c><00:27:33.759><c> gonna</c><00:27:33.900><c> get</c><00:27:34.160><c> into,</c><00:27:34.500><c> you</c><00:27:34.660><c> know,</c>

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:40.099
in<00:27:35.799><c> 1</c><00:27:36.740><c> Samuel</c><00:27:37.079><c> 13,</c><00:27:37.819><c> it</c><00:27:37.819><c> says</c><00:27:37.960><c> Saul</c><00:27:38.259><c> reigned</c><00:27:38.599><c> one</c><00:27:39.019><c> year.</c>

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:42.539
So<00:27:40.660><c> already</c><00:27:41.019><c> one</c><00:27:41.279><c> year,</c><00:27:41.480><c> he's</c><00:27:41.700><c> got</c><00:27:41.880><c> one</c><00:27:42.220><c> battle.</c>

00:27:42.660 --> 00:27:45.259
And<00:27:42.819><c> then</c><00:27:42.980><c> the</c><00:27:43.220><c> next</c><00:27:43.579><c> year,</c><00:27:43.759><c> he's</c><00:27:43.960><c> got</c><00:27:44.099><c> another</c><00:27:44.480><c> massive</c><00:27:44.920><c> battle</c>

00:27:45.259 --> 00:27:47.619
because<00:27:45.480><c> the</c><00:27:45.799><c> Philistines</c><00:27:46.259><c> are</c><00:27:46.440><c> gonna</c><00:27:46.539><c> come</c><00:27:46.799><c> up.</c>

00:27:47.740 --> 00:27:54.519
You<00:27:47.740><c> know,</c><00:27:48.019><c> Saul,</c><00:27:51.339><c> I</c><00:27:51.579><c> think</c><00:27:51.799><c> Israel</c><00:27:52.240><c> and</c><00:27:52.539><c> Saul</c><00:27:52.920><c> were</c><00:27:53.359><c> emboldened</c>

00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:58.019
by<00:27:54.900><c> their</c><00:27:55.140><c> victory</c><00:27:55.599><c> over</c><00:27:56.559><c> Nahash,</c><00:27:57.420><c> the</c><00:27:57.619><c> Ammonite.</c>

00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:01.119
They're<00:27:58.279><c> like,</c><00:27:58.500><c> oh,</c><00:27:59.059><c> okay,</c><00:27:59.420><c> I've</c><00:27:59.559><c> got</c><00:27:59.640><c> a</c><00:27:59.700><c> little</c><00:27:59.940><c> something</c><00:28:00.180><c> here.</c>

00:28:01.859 --> 00:28:04.059
And<00:28:02.220><c> so</c><00:28:02.380><c> that</c><00:28:02.619><c> was</c><00:28:02.819><c> in</c><00:28:03.039><c> the</c><00:28:03.240><c> east.</c>

00:28:04.089 --> 00:28:05.880
But<00:28:04.339><c> then</c><00:28:04.640><c> they</c><00:28:04.779><c> like,</c><00:28:05.119><c> listen,</c><00:28:05.400><c> we</c><00:28:05.480><c> got,</c><00:28:05.680><c> you</c><00:28:05.839><c> know,</c>

00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:08.259
we're<00:28:06.119><c> still</c><00:28:06.319><c> under</c><00:28:06.559><c> kind</c><00:28:06.799><c> of</c><00:28:06.920><c> the</c><00:28:07.200><c> control</c><00:28:07.440><c> of</c><00:28:07.700><c> the</c><00:28:07.779><c> Philistines.</c>

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:11.119
And<00:28:08.660><c> so</c><00:28:08.779><c> I</c><00:28:08.819><c> was</c><00:28:08.960><c> like,</c><00:28:09.180><c> nah,</c><00:28:09.440><c> no,</c><00:28:09.759><c> not</c><00:28:09.920><c> anymore,</c><00:28:10.259><c> we're</c><00:28:10.640><c> revolting.</c>

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:13.539
And<00:28:11.640><c> so</c><00:28:11.779><c> they</c><00:28:12.079><c> revolted</c><00:28:12.579><c> against</c><00:28:12.859><c> the</c><00:28:13.160><c> Philistines.</c>

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:17.339
Now<00:28:14.099><c> remember,</c><00:28:14.640><c> there's</c><00:28:14.940><c> accounts</c><00:28:15.339><c> here,</c><00:28:16.259><c> both</c><00:28:16.539><c> in,</c>

00:28:21.500 --> 00:28:25.599
The<00:28:21.740><c> children</c><00:28:22.099><c> of</c><00:28:22.359><c> Israel</c><00:28:22.799><c> in</c><00:28:23.000><c> this</c><00:28:23.220><c> particular</c><00:28:23.839><c> area,</c><00:28:24.440><c> okay,</c>

00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:31.619
the<00:28:27.420><c> border</c><00:28:27.920><c> towns</c><00:28:29.079><c> between</c><00:28:29.759><c> Judah</c><00:28:30.259><c> and</c><00:28:30.579><c> the</c><00:28:30.839><c> Philistines,</c>

00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:35.380
they<00:28:33.539><c> didn't</c><00:28:33.819><c> know</c><00:28:34.019><c> how</c><00:28:34.200><c> to</c><00:28:34.339><c> make</c><00:28:34.460><c> weapons.</c>

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:38.420
They<00:28:35.579><c> didn't</c><00:28:35.819><c> know</c><00:28:36.039><c> how</c><00:28:36.319><c> to</c><00:28:36.660><c> forge</c><00:28:37.059><c> iron,</c><00:28:38.119><c> okay.</c>

00:28:38.420 --> 00:28:40.259
And<00:28:38.579><c> so</c><00:28:38.680><c> this</c><00:28:38.839><c> is</c><00:28:38.980><c> where</c><00:28:39.099><c> they</c><00:28:39.240><c> had</c><00:28:39.480><c> farm</c><00:28:39.859><c> implements</c>

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:43.200
You<00:28:41.779><c> remember</c><00:28:42.059><c> where</c><00:28:42.319><c> they</c><00:28:42.559><c> have</c><00:28:42.819><c> to</c><00:28:43.019><c> go</c>

00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:47.200

00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:48.480
Philistines,<00:28:48.279><c> right?</c>

00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:50.920
They<00:28:48.759><c> had</c><00:28:48.880><c> to</c><00:28:48.940><c> actually</c><00:28:49.279><c> go</c><00:28:49.720><c> down</c><00:28:50.099><c> to</c><00:28:50.279><c> the</c><00:28:50.480><c> Philistines</c>

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:56.240
Think<00:28:55.700><c> about</c><00:28:55.960><c> that.</c>

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:58.640
It's<00:28:56.440><c> like</c><00:28:56.579><c> their</c><00:28:56.779><c> whole</c><00:28:57.059><c> livelihood</c><00:28:57.559><c> now,</c><00:28:58.400><c> right,</c>

00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:00.420
is<00:28:58.880><c> dependent</c><00:28:59.319><c> upon</c><00:28:59.640><c> the</c><00:28:59.900><c> Philistines.</c>

00:29:00.919 --> 00:29:02.619
Granted,<00:29:01.319><c> they</c><00:29:01.480><c> have</c><00:29:01.680><c> to</c><00:29:01.799><c> go</c><00:29:01.940><c> and</c><00:29:02.099><c> do</c><00:29:02.259><c> the</c><00:29:02.460><c> work,</c>

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:04.900
but<00:29:02.740><c> if</c><00:29:02.880><c> they</c><00:29:03.000><c> don't</c><00:29:03.200><c> get</c><00:29:03.380><c> their</c><00:29:03.660><c> implements</c><00:29:04.099><c> sharpened,</c>

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:06.559
how<00:29:05.119><c> are</c><00:29:05.279><c> they</c><00:29:05.400><c> gonna</c><00:29:05.559><c> cut</c><00:29:05.839><c> down</c><00:29:06.160><c> the</c><00:29:06.359><c> grain?</c>

00:29:06.619 --> 00:29:08.299
How<00:29:06.740><c> are</c><00:29:06.839><c> they</c><00:29:06.920><c> gonna</c><00:29:07.039><c> cut</c><00:29:07.259><c> down</c><00:29:07.519><c> the</c><00:29:08.019><c> barley,</c>

00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:09.279
all<00:29:08.579><c> that</c><00:29:08.779><c> kind</c><00:29:08.960><c> of</c><00:29:09.119><c> stuff?</c>

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:11.819
How<00:29:09.660><c> are</c><00:29:09.740><c> they</c><00:29:09.819><c> gonna</c><00:29:09.920><c> do</c><00:29:10.119><c> any</c><00:29:10.460><c> work</c><00:29:10.680><c> on</c><00:29:10.859><c> the</c><00:29:11.059><c> farm?</c>

00:29:13.099 --> 00:29:15.819
So<00:29:13.400><c> it</c><00:29:13.700><c> was</c><00:29:13.880><c> tough,</c><00:29:14.200><c> it</c><00:29:14.319><c> was</c><00:29:14.380><c> a</c><00:29:14.420><c> tough</c><00:29:14.599><c> situation.</c>

00:29:15.859 --> 00:29:16.960
You<00:29:16.000><c> know,</c><00:29:16.099><c> they</c><00:29:16.279><c> needed</c><00:29:16.579><c> somebody,</c>

00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:18.839

00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:31.059
We<00:29:29.400><c> just</c><00:29:29.599><c> took</c><00:29:29.819><c> the</c><00:29:30.079><c> Ammonites,</c><00:29:30.440><c> no</c><00:29:30.720><c> problem.</c>

And<00:30:07.380><c> all</c><00:30:07.619><c> Israel</c><00:30:08.059><c> heard</c><00:30:08.480><c> say</c><00:30:08.859><c> that</c><00:30:09.140><c> Saul</c><00:30:09.400><c> had</c><00:30:09.819><c> smitten</c>

a<00:30:10.359><c> garrison</c><00:30:10.720><c> of</c><00:30:10.920><c> the</c><00:30:11.119><c> Philistines,</c>

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:15.859
and<00:30:12.480><c> that</c><00:30:12.720><c> Israel</c><00:30:13.160><c> also</c><00:30:14.119><c> was</c><00:30:14.519><c> had</c><00:30:14.759><c> an</c><00:30:15.059><c> abomination</c>

with<00:30:16.140><c> the</c><00:30:16.339><c> Philistines,</c><00:30:17.240><c> and</c><00:30:17.500><c> the</c><00:30:17.660><c> people</c><00:30:17.880><c> were</c><00:30:18.200><c> called</c><00:30:18.420><c> together</c>

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.339
So,<00:30:21.579><c> you</c><00:30:21.720><c> know,</c><00:30:22.859><c> the</c><00:30:23.059><c> Philistines,</c>

00:30:23.339 --> 00:30:25.839
I<00:30:23.440><c> wish</c><00:30:23.559><c> I</c><00:30:23.660><c> had</c><00:30:23.720><c> a</c><00:30:23.859><c> map</c><00:30:24.079><c> of</c><00:30:24.200><c> this,</c><00:30:24.599><c> but</c><00:30:24.880><c> anyways,</c>

00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:28.539
the<00:30:26.339><c> Philistines</c><00:30:26.779><c> are</c><00:30:26.940><c> gonna</c><00:30:27.140><c> kind</c><00:30:27.279><c> of</c><00:30:27.480><c> set</c><00:30:27.640><c> up</c><00:30:27.859><c> garrisons</c>

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:31.259
along<00:30:28.920><c> the</c><00:30:30.220><c> border</c><00:30:30.559><c> of</c><00:30:30.819><c> Israel,</c>

00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:33.819
and<00:30:31.740><c> the</c><00:30:31.920><c> purpose</c><00:30:32.220><c> of</c><00:30:32.420><c> these</c><00:30:32.660><c> garrisons,</c><00:30:33.259><c> number</c><00:30:33.660><c> one,</c>

00:30:34.099 --> 00:30:36.480
is<00:30:34.200><c> to</c><00:30:34.539><c> protect</c><00:30:34.839><c> the</c><00:30:35.140><c> border,</c><00:30:35.759><c> that's</c><00:30:36.180><c> obvious.</c>

00:30:36.740 --> 00:30:40.900
Number<00:30:37.099><c> two,</c><00:30:38.480><c> a</c><00:30:38.960><c> safe</c><00:30:39.259><c> place</c><00:30:39.779><c> where</c><00:30:40.140><c> the</c><00:30:40.420><c> raiders,</c>

00:30:40.980 --> 00:30:43.480
the<00:30:41.220><c> Philistine</c><00:30:41.680><c> raiders,</c><00:30:42.259><c> or</c><00:30:42.400><c> the</c><00:30:42.559><c> bands</c><00:30:42.819><c> of</c><00:30:43.079><c> soldiers</c>

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:46.759
could<00:30:43.720><c> go</c><00:30:44.019><c> out</c><00:30:44.579><c> and</c><00:30:45.279><c> go</c><00:30:45.640><c> and</c><00:30:45.940><c> take</c><00:30:46.140><c> possessions,</c>

00:30:47.140 --> 00:30:49.440
take<00:30:47.420><c> people</c><00:30:47.880><c> as</c><00:30:48.220><c> slaves,</c><00:30:49.019><c> okay?</c>

00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:55.440
So<00:30:49.859><c> these</c><00:30:50.160><c> garrisons</c><00:30:50.940><c> really</c><00:30:51.480><c> were</c><00:30:52.400><c> the</c><00:30:53.700><c> place</c><00:30:54.299><c> where</c>

00:30:56.019 --> 00:31:00.160
the<00:30:56.480><c> Philistines</c><00:30:56.940><c> would</c><00:30:57.259><c> gather</c><00:30:57.599><c> to</c><00:30:57.819><c> go</c><00:30:58.099><c> out</c><00:30:58.339><c> and</c><00:30:58.539><c> to</c><00:30:58.779><c> harass</c><00:30:59.079><c> Israel.</c>

00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:02.299
Like,<00:31:00.559><c> if</c><00:31:00.900><c> there</c><00:31:01.099><c> was</c><00:31:01.319><c> a</c><00:31:01.519><c> place</c><00:31:01.819><c> that,</c><00:31:02.039><c> like,</c>

00:31:02.420 --> 00:31:05.740
that's<00:31:03.140><c> ground</c><00:31:03.619><c> zero</c><00:31:04.099><c> for</c><00:31:04.380><c> the</c><00:31:04.599><c> oppression</c><00:31:04.920><c> of</c><00:31:05.140><c> the</c><00:31:05.299><c> Philistines,</c>

00:31:06.019 --> 00:31:07.660
these<00:31:06.319><c> garrisons</c><00:31:06.880><c> were</c><00:31:07.119><c> ground</c><00:31:07.339><c> zero.</c>

00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:10.559
Every<00:31:08.259><c> time,</c><00:31:08.380><c> they</c><00:31:08.500><c> were</c><00:31:08.680><c> always</c><00:31:09.160><c> up</c><00:31:09.380><c> on</c><00:31:09.539><c> a</c><00:31:09.619><c> hill,</c>

00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:12.319
so<00:31:10.799><c> you're</c><00:31:11.019><c> looking</c><00:31:11.240><c> down.</c>

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:15.299
I'll<00:31:12.559><c> give</c><00:31:12.640><c> you</c><00:31:12.720><c> an</c><00:31:12.940><c> example,</c><00:31:13.559><c> not</c><00:31:13.759><c> a</c><00:31:13.940><c> modern</c><00:31:14.259><c>-day</c><00:31:14.460><c> example,</c>

00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:16.859
but<00:31:15.380><c> like</c><00:31:15.980><c> in</c><00:31:16.160><c> the</c><00:31:16.279><c> Middle</c><00:31:16.539><c> Ages.</c>

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:18.440
What<00:31:17.200><c> did</c><00:31:17.299><c> they</c><00:31:17.539><c> have</c><00:31:17.700><c> in</c><00:31:17.839><c> the</c><00:31:17.940><c> Middle</c><00:31:18.160><c> Ages?</c>

00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:21.599
They<00:31:18.720><c> had</c><00:31:18.980><c> garrisons,</c><00:31:19.640><c> but</c><00:31:19.720><c> like</c><00:31:20.319><c> in</c><00:31:20.500><c> England</c><00:31:20.839><c> and</c><00:31:21.240><c> in</c><00:31:21.339><c> Europe,</c>

00:31:21.619 --> 00:31:22.960
what<00:31:21.759><c> did</c><00:31:21.839><c> they</c><00:31:22.059><c> have?</c>

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:25.339
Castles,<00:31:25.160><c> right?</c>

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:27.680
Castles<00:31:25.839><c> are</c><00:31:26.019><c> just</c><00:31:26.240><c> massive</c><00:31:26.640><c> garrisons.</c>

00:31:27.779 --> 00:31:28.839
And<00:31:28.000><c> so</c><00:31:28.119><c> they</c><00:31:28.220><c> would</c><00:31:28.440><c> build</c><00:31:28.619><c> these,</c>

00:31:28.900 --> 00:31:30.920
and<00:31:28.940><c> that's</c><00:31:29.240><c> exactly</c><00:31:29.599><c> what</c><00:31:29.799><c> the</c><00:31:30.140><c> English</c><00:31:30.299><c> kings</c><00:31:30.619><c> did,</c>

00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:32.960
particularly<00:31:31.579><c> like</c><00:31:32.099><c> around</c><00:31:32.400><c> the</c><00:31:32.680><c> Welsh,</c>

00:31:33.019 --> 00:31:34.960

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:37.660
King<00:31:35.440><c> Edward</c><00:31:35.799><c> I,</c><00:31:36.240><c> here</c><00:31:36.400><c> we</c><00:31:36.640><c> go</c><00:31:36.859><c> again.</c>

00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.859
He<00:31:38.380><c> set</c><00:31:38.599><c> up</c><00:31:38.880><c> a</c><00:31:39.119><c> whole</c><00:31:39.440><c> line</c><00:31:40.019><c> of</c><00:31:40.359><c> castles</c><00:31:40.960><c> along</c><00:31:41.279><c> the</c><00:31:41.559><c> border,</c>

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:43.660
and<00:31:42.440><c> this</c><00:31:42.660><c> is</c><00:31:42.859><c> exactly</c><00:31:43.200><c> what</c><00:31:43.339><c> they</c><00:31:43.539><c> did.</c>

00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:44.359
Any<00:31:43.940><c> problems?</c>

00:31:44.460 --> 00:31:46.079

00:31:46.299 --> 00:31:48.160
And<00:31:46.500><c> this</c><00:31:46.680><c> was</c><00:31:46.859><c> the</c><00:31:47.079><c> Philistines</c><00:31:47.539><c> mentality.</c>

00:31:48.259 --> 00:31:49.740

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:54.400
Oh,<00:31:52.740><c> we</c><00:31:52.839><c> need</c><00:31:53.019><c> more</c><00:31:53.319><c> slaves,</c><00:31:53.680><c> we</c><00:31:53.819><c> need</c><00:31:53.960><c> more</c><00:31:54.180><c> stuff.</c>

00:31:57.680 --> 00:31:58.880
Send<00:31:57.980><c> the</c><00:31:58.240><c> garrison</c><00:31:58.599><c> out.</c>

00:31:59.220 --> 00:32:00.819
And<00:31:59.339><c> so</c><00:31:59.559><c> Saul</c><00:31:59.839><c> and</c><00:32:00.019><c> Jonathan</c><00:32:00.420><c> and</c><00:32:00.640><c> the</c><00:32:00.700><c> others,</c>

00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:02.680

00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:04.099
This<00:32:03.220><c> is</c><00:32:03.359><c> the</c><00:32:03.500><c> issue</c><00:32:03.740><c> right</c><00:32:03.980><c> here.</c>

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:07.140
So<00:32:04.319><c> he</c><00:32:05.019><c> wipes</c><00:32:05.259><c> out</c><00:32:05.539><c> one</c><00:32:05.740><c> of</c><00:32:05.839><c> the</c><00:32:06.119><c> garrisons,</c>

00:32:07.180 --> 00:32:08.299
and<00:32:07.319><c> the</c><00:32:07.539><c> Philistines</c><00:32:07.900><c> are</c><00:32:08.119><c> like,</c>

00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:10.079
oh,<00:32:08.660><c> but</c><00:32:08.839><c> we</c><00:32:08.940><c> got</c><00:32:09.000><c> a</c><00:32:09.200><c> problem</c><00:32:09.480><c> when</c><00:32:09.720><c> I</c><00:32:09.980><c> am.</c>

00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:12.700
So<00:32:11.000><c> all</c><00:32:11.400><c> Israel</c><00:32:11.660><c> is</c><00:32:11.819><c> gathered</c><00:32:12.200><c> together,</c>

00:32:13.180 --> 00:32:15.279
then<00:32:13.380><c> the</c><00:32:13.779><c> Philistines</c><00:32:14.420><c> gather</c><00:32:14.819><c> together.</c>

00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:16.960
And<00:32:15.819><c> it's</c><00:32:16.000><c> one</c><00:32:16.200><c> of</c><00:32:16.339><c> these</c><00:32:16.680><c> things,</c>

00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:21.700
like<00:32:17.960><c> Mike</c><00:32:19.319><c> Tyson</c><00:32:19.700><c> famously</c><00:32:20.299><c> once</c><00:32:20.700><c> said,</c>

00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:26.640
everyone<00:32:22.599><c> has</c><00:32:23.019><c> a</c><00:32:23.339><c> plan</c><00:32:23.759><c> until</c><00:32:24.779><c> they</c><00:32:24.960><c> get</c><00:32:25.200><c> punched</c><00:32:25.500><c> in</c><00:32:25.700><c> the</c><00:32:25.819><c> face.</c>

00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:27.759
Okay?

00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:30.579
This<00:32:28.420><c> is</c><00:32:28.740><c> a</c><00:32:28.839><c> perfect</c><00:32:29.220><c> example,</c><00:32:29.859><c> I</c><00:32:30.200><c> think,</c>

00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:34.599
of<00:32:31.500><c> Israel</c><00:32:31.980><c> and</c><00:32:32.299><c> Saul</c><00:32:32.519><c> having</c><00:32:32.920><c> a</c><00:32:33.240><c> great</c><00:32:33.500><c> plan</c>

00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.500

00:32:36.539 --> 00:32:37.740
Here's<00:32:36.759><c> the</c><00:32:36.980><c> punch</c><00:32:37.160><c> in</c><00:32:37.319><c> the</c><00:32:37.500><c> face.</c>

00:32:37.779 --> 00:32:38.660
Ready?

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:44.700
And<00:32:42.119><c> when</c><00:32:42.380><c> the</c><00:32:42.660><c> Philistines</c><00:32:43.259><c> gathered</c><00:32:43.740><c> themselves</c><00:32:44.259><c> together</c>

Sizable<00:33:02.419><c> force,</c><00:33:03.779><c> right?</c>

00:33:04.380 --> 00:33:06.119
That<00:33:04.660><c> Israel</c><00:33:05.019><c> could</c><00:33:05.299><c> not</c><00:33:05.559><c> compete</c><00:33:05.920><c> with.</c>

00:33:06.259 --> 00:33:09.180

00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.119
Horsemen,<00:33:12.660><c> Israel</c><00:33:13.000><c> didn't</c><00:33:13.200><c> have</c><00:33:13.380><c> any</c><00:33:13.640><c> horsemen.</c>

00:33:18.779 --> 00:33:21.599
That<00:33:18.960><c> isn't</c><00:33:19.160><c> how</c><00:33:19.440><c> Israel</c><00:33:19.859><c> used</c><00:33:20.160><c> to</c><00:33:20.400><c> fight</c><00:33:20.579><c> during</c><00:33:20.880><c> this</c><00:33:21.200><c> time.</c>

00:33:22.059 --> 00:33:25.000
This<00:33:22.259><c> is</c><00:33:22.480><c> hit</c><00:33:22.579><c> and</c><00:33:22.779><c> run</c><00:33:22.980><c> tactics,</c><00:33:24.319><c> right,</c><00:33:24.480><c> at</c><00:33:24.740><c> nighttime.</c>

00:33:26.339 --> 00:33:27.779
Remember<00:33:26.339><c> Gideon?</c>

00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:32.079
Gideon<00:33:28.519><c> totally</c><00:33:28.980><c> wiped</c><00:33:29.259><c> out</c><00:33:29.519><c> a</c><00:33:30.279><c> much</c><00:33:30.660><c> larger</c><00:33:31.099><c> force</c>

00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:33.839
by<00:33:32.700><c> hitting</c><00:33:33.079><c> them</c><00:33:33.279><c> at</c><00:33:33.500><c> nighttime,</c>

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:35.359
particularly<00:33:34.480><c> when</c><00:33:34.660><c> there's</c><00:33:34.920><c> all</c><00:33:35.160><c> kinds</c>

00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:37.500

00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:41.160
that<00:33:37.920><c> usually</c><00:33:38.460><c> are,</c><00:33:39.819><c> you</c><00:33:39.819><c> know,</c><00:33:40.099><c> like</c><00:33:40.140><c> Ben's</c><00:33:40.700><c> over</c><00:33:40.920><c> there.</c>

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:42.299
He's<00:33:41.680><c> from</c><00:33:41.839><c> Walpole.</c>

00:33:42.299 --> 00:33:44.220
Walpole<00:33:43.019><c> guys</c><00:33:43.279><c> don't</c><00:33:43.680><c> hear</c><00:33:43.960><c> from</c><00:33:44.140><c> him.</c>

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:45.319
I<00:33:44.319><c> mean,</c><00:33:44.440><c> we're</c><00:33:44.640><c> fighting</c><00:33:44.839><c> together,</c>

00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:47.819
but,<00:33:45.700><c> you</c><00:33:45.799><c> know,</c><00:33:46.059><c> I've</c><00:33:46.859><c> had</c><00:33:46.920><c> trouble</c><00:33:47.200><c> in</c><00:33:47.359><c> the</c><00:33:47.519><c> past,</c>

00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:49.819
and<00:33:48.440><c> so,</c><00:33:48.640><c> you</c><00:33:48.779><c> know,</c><00:33:48.940><c> that's</c><00:33:49.279><c> what</c><00:33:49.440><c> happens.</c>

00:33:50.019 --> 00:33:52.240
I<00:33:50.240><c> think</c><00:33:50.460><c> Ben's</c><00:33:51.000><c> turning</c><00:33:51.279><c> on</c><00:33:51.559><c> me</c><00:33:51.680><c> and</c><00:33:51.819><c> fighting</c><00:33:52.059><c> me.</c>

00:33:52.259 --> 00:33:53.039
Now<00:33:52.380><c> I</c><00:33:52.460><c> gotta</c><00:33:52.559><c> fight</c><00:33:52.799><c> Ben</c>

00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:55.380
so<00:33:53.200><c> the</c><00:33:53.339><c> whole</c><00:33:53.680><c> place</c><00:33:54.000><c> is,</c><00:33:54.400><c> you</c><00:33:54.500><c> know,</c><00:33:54.720><c> in</c><00:33:54.799><c> an</c><00:33:54.980><c> uproar.</c>

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:59.180
Anyways,<00:33:57.359><c> so</c><00:33:57.779><c> they</c><00:33:58.119><c> bring</c><00:33:58.339><c> the</c><00:33:58.599><c> massive</c><00:33:58.920><c> army.</c>

00:33:59.259 --> 00:34:00.660
We're<00:33:59.519><c> gonna</c><00:33:59.539><c> crush</c><00:33:59.880><c> these</c><00:34:00.220><c> guys.</c>

00:34:00.859 --> 00:34:01.420
Who's<00:34:01.259><c> Saul?</c>

00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:02.559
Who's<00:34:01.759><c> the</c><00:34:01.920><c> House</c><00:34:02.180><c> of</c><00:34:02.400><c> Saul?</c>

00:34:02.619 --> 00:34:03.640
Who<00:34:02.779><c> are</c><00:34:02.900><c> these</c><00:34:03.240><c> guys?</c>

00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:05.180
Think<00:34:04.000><c> they</c><00:34:04.099><c> can</c><00:34:04.299><c> take</c><00:34:04.559><c> our</c><00:34:04.779><c> garrison?</c>

00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:05.720
You're<00:34:05.519><c> nothing.</c>

You're<00:34:06.339><c> a</c><00:34:06.480><c> little</c><00:34:06.660><c> tiny</c><00:34:07.019><c> hill</c><00:34:07.279><c> people.</c>

00:34:07.940 --> 00:34:09.199
You<00:34:08.059><c> don't</c><00:34:08.179><c> even</c><00:34:08.400><c> have</c><00:34:08.599><c> chariots.</c>

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:10.320
You<00:34:09.639><c> don't</c><00:34:09.800><c> have</c><00:34:09.940><c> horses.</c>

00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:10.940

00:34:10.940 --> 00:34:13.960
You<00:34:11.420><c> can't</c><00:34:11.780><c> even</c><00:34:12.099><c> make</c><00:34:12.260><c> your</c><00:34:12.539><c> own</c><00:34:12.840><c> weapons.</c>

Just<00:34:14.639><c> getting</c><00:34:14.860><c> little</c><00:34:15.199><c> guide</c><00:34:15.440><c> all</c><00:34:15.699><c> the</c><00:34:15.880><c> time,</c><00:34:16.179><c> right?</c>

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.519
And<00:34:17.260><c> so,</c><00:34:18.360><c> when</c><00:34:18.500><c> the</c><00:34:18.719><c> men</c><00:34:18.860><c> of</c><00:34:19.079><c> Israel</c><00:34:19.559><c> saw</c><00:34:20.079><c> that,</c>

00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.619

00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.800
Then<00:34:26.880><c> the</c><00:34:27.099><c> people</c><00:34:27.460><c> did</c><00:34:27.840><c> hide</c><00:34:28.159><c> themselves</c>

00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:32.679

00:34:36.420 --> 00:34:37.099
They<00:34:36.619><c> left.</c>

00:34:37.420 --> 00:34:38.900
We're<00:34:37.760><c> outta</c><00:34:38.000><c> here.</c>

00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:59.059
You<00:34:57.920><c> know,</c><00:34:58.059><c> they</c><00:34:58.239><c> were</c><00:34:58.460><c> at</c><00:34:58.619><c> a</c><00:34:58.800><c> high,</c>

Well,<00:35:03.179><c> now</c><00:35:03.980><c> you're</c><00:35:04.300><c> gonna</c><00:35:04.300><c> go</c><00:35:04.559><c> with</c><00:35:04.760><c> the</c><00:35:04.920><c> varsity</c><00:35:05.360><c> team.</c>

00:35:06.259 --> 00:35:08.579
The<00:35:06.539><c> varsity</c><00:35:07.119><c> fight</c><00:35:07.360><c> with</c><00:35:07.599><c> the</c><00:35:07.780><c> Philistines,</c><00:35:08.340><c> okay?</c>

You<00:35:13.820><c> guys</c><00:35:14.079><c> have</c><00:35:14.340><c> nothing.</c>

00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:18.079
And<00:35:15.239><c> when</c><00:35:15.440><c> they</c><00:35:15.820><c> saw</c><00:35:16.059><c> the</c><00:35:16.360><c> size</c><00:35:16.619><c> of</c><00:35:16.820><c> this</c><00:35:17.079><c> force,</c>

00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.659

00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:25.099
They're<00:35:23.260><c> hiding</c><00:35:23.579><c> in</c><00:35:23.900><c> caves</c><00:35:24.340><c> and</c><00:35:24.659><c> thickets.</c>

00:35:25.139 --> 00:35:27.900
Just<00:35:25.460><c> tell</c><00:35:25.619><c> you,</c><00:35:25.800><c> they</c><00:35:25.860><c> were</c><00:35:26.119><c> following</c><00:35:26.559><c> Saul,</c><00:35:26.860><c> trembling.</c>

00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:29.800
You<00:35:28.039><c> know,</c><00:35:28.239><c> imagine</c><00:35:28.579><c> being</c><00:35:28.860><c> Saul.</c>

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:33.500
Okay,<00:35:30.699><c> I</c><00:35:31.179><c> had</c><00:35:31.320><c> this</c><00:35:31.559><c> great</c><00:35:31.820><c> idea</c><00:35:32.280><c> to</c><00:35:32.480><c> go</c><00:35:32.679><c> fight</c><00:35:32.860><c> the</c><00:35:33.079><c> Philistines.</c>

00:35:33.500 --> 00:35:34.539
Look<00:35:33.719><c> where</c><00:35:33.940><c> I</c><00:35:34.139><c> am</c><00:35:34.300><c> now.</c>

00:35:34.539 --> 00:35:35.820
They<00:35:34.659><c> were</c><00:35:34.760><c> about</c><00:35:34.940><c> to</c><00:35:35.159><c> slaughter</c><00:35:35.400><c> me.</c>

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.039
I<00:35:36.719><c> need</c><00:35:37.000><c> Samuel.</c>

00:35:38.059 --> 00:35:40.780
Samuel,<00:35:38.900><c> and</c><00:35:39.820><c> Samuel</c><00:35:40.099><c> wasn't</c><00:35:40.519><c> there.</c>

00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:42.559
He<00:35:41.099><c> says</c><00:35:41.219><c> he</c><00:35:41.440><c> waited</c><00:35:41.679><c> for</c><00:35:41.940><c> seven</c><00:35:42.199><c> days.</c>

00:35:42.659 --> 00:35:44.699
Eventually<00:35:43.079><c> he</c><00:35:43.239><c> did</c><00:35:43.599><c> come,</c>

00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:47.320
and<00:35:45.039><c> Saul</c><00:35:45.239><c> made</c><00:35:45.480><c> the</c><00:35:45.719><c> mistake</c><00:35:46.019><c> of</c><00:35:46.360><c> offering,</c><00:35:46.880><c> right?</c>

00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:51.579
And<00:35:47.940><c> this</c><00:35:48.139><c> is</c><00:35:48.360><c> actually</c><00:35:48.739><c> where</c><00:35:49.219><c> he</c><00:35:49.420><c> makes</c><00:35:49.699><c> the</c><00:35:51.079><c> offering.</c>

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:53.199
Out<00:35:52.099><c> of</c><00:35:52.280><c> all</c><00:35:52.599><c> the</c><00:35:52.860><c> people,</c>

00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:57.480
there<00:35:53.340><c> were</c><00:35:53.559><c> only</c><00:35:53.980><c> 600</c><00:35:54.699><c> men</c><00:35:55.559><c> that</c><00:35:55.739><c> were</c><00:35:55.960><c> left</c><00:35:56.300><c> with</c><00:35:56.579><c> Saul.</c>

00:35:57.960 --> 00:35:59.960
Only<00:35:58.280><c> 600</c><00:35:58.820><c> were</c><00:35:59.219><c> left</c><00:35:59.460><c> with</c><00:35:59.699><c> Saul.</c>

00:36:00.019 --> 00:36:01.000
They<00:36:00.139><c> were</c><00:36:00.280><c> very</c><00:36:00.599><c> afraid.</c>

00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:02.760
They<00:36:01.159><c> were</c><00:36:01.340><c> hiding</c><00:36:01.679><c> themselves.</c>

00:36:02.820 --> 00:36:05.480
Philistines<00:36:03.340><c> were</c><00:36:03.500><c> gonna</c><00:36:03.760><c> crush</c><00:36:04.079><c> these</c><00:36:04.460><c> Hebrews</c><00:36:04.780><c> once</c><00:36:05.219><c> and</c>

00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:05.780
for<00:36:05.679><c> all.</c>

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:06.719
We're<00:36:06.219><c> tired</c><00:36:06.420><c> of</c><00:36:06.579><c> them.</c>

00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:07.679
You<00:36:07.340><c> know</c><00:36:07.500><c> what?</c>

00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:10.099
The<00:36:08.019><c> Hebrews</c><00:36:08.239><c> are</c><00:36:08.480><c> an</c><00:36:08.780><c> abomination</c><00:36:09.500><c> to</c><00:36:09.820><c> us.</c>

00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:13.199
I<00:36:10.599><c> can't</c><00:36:10.760><c> even</c><00:36:11.179><c> stand</c><00:36:11.460><c> to</c><00:36:11.579><c> look</c><00:36:11.820><c> at</c><00:36:11.980><c> them.</c>

00:36:14.780 --> 00:36:18.440
He<00:36:15.300><c> makes</c><00:36:15.539><c> the</c><00:36:15.820><c> sacrifice</c><00:36:16.320><c> without</c><00:36:16.659><c> Samuel,</c><00:36:18.099><c> right?</c>

00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:23.000
He<00:36:18.880><c> takes</c><00:36:19.199><c> upon</c><00:36:19.500><c> himself</c><00:36:20.019><c> the</c><00:36:20.360><c> role</c><00:36:20.519><c> of</c><00:36:20.840><c> priest</c><00:36:21.400><c> and</c><00:36:22.199><c> king.</c>

00:36:23.420 --> 00:36:25.519
And<00:36:23.619><c> we</c><00:36:23.719><c> know</c><00:36:23.880><c> that</c><00:36:24.019><c> that</c><00:36:24.179><c> is</c><00:36:24.440><c> reserved</c><00:36:24.719><c> for</c><00:36:24.920><c> one</c><00:36:25.199><c> person,</c>

00:36:25.539 --> 00:36:27.760
one<00:36:25.780><c> person</c><00:36:26.139><c> only,</c><00:36:26.420><c> and</c><00:36:26.559><c> that</c><00:36:26.679><c> is</c><00:36:26.880><c> Christ.</c>

00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:29.719
And<00:36:28.539><c> so</c><00:36:28.800><c> this</c><00:36:29.039><c> is</c><00:36:29.300><c> why,</c><00:36:29.519><c> you</c><00:36:29.659><c> know,</c>

00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:33.860
he<00:36:29.900><c> takes</c><00:36:30.139><c> upon</c><00:36:30.460><c> himself</c><00:36:30.940><c> the</c><00:36:31.280><c> role</c><00:36:31.500><c> of</c><00:36:32.179><c> priest</c><00:36:32.599><c> and</c><00:36:33.039><c> king.</c>

00:36:34.219 --> 00:36:37.539
And,<00:36:34.239><c> you</c><00:36:34.440><c> know,</c><00:36:35.099><c> we</c><00:36:35.260><c> may</c><00:36:36.019><c> think</c><00:36:36.340><c> that,</c><00:36:36.920><c> you</c><00:36:37.400><c> know,</c>

00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:40.420

We<00:37:03.860><c> talked</c><00:37:04.159><c> about</c><00:37:04.400><c> this.</c>

00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:08.579

00:37:10.860 --> 00:37:13.280
that<00:37:11.219><c> archeologists</c><00:37:11.920><c> have</c><00:37:12.179><c> said</c><00:37:12.400><c> that,</c>

00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:17.039

in<00:37:17.219><c> the</c><00:37:17.340><c> hills</c><00:37:17.579><c> of</c><00:37:17.719><c> Samaria,</c><00:37:18.699><c> where</c><00:37:19.059><c> Saul</c><00:37:19.480><c> and</c><00:37:19.699><c> his</c><00:37:20.079><c> sons</c><00:37:20.460><c> were,</c>

00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:22.719
guess<00:37:21.159><c> what</c><00:37:21.300><c> they</c><00:37:21.460><c> could</c><00:37:21.719><c> make?</c>

00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:23.800
Weapons.

00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:25.920
They<00:37:24.500><c> had</c><00:37:24.739><c> the</c><00:37:24.980><c> ability</c><00:37:25.300><c> in</c><00:37:25.539><c> that</c><00:37:25.719><c> area.</c>

00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:27.980
They<00:37:26.099><c> could</c><00:37:26.280><c> make</c><00:37:26.539><c> weapons,</c><00:37:27.599><c> okay?</c>

00:37:28.139 --> 00:37:30.820
So<00:37:28.320><c> they</c><00:37:29.360><c> were</c><00:37:29.699><c> able</c><00:37:29.880><c> to</c><00:37:30.039><c> make</c><00:37:30.179><c> weapons</c><00:37:30.480><c> up</c><00:37:30.719><c> here,</c>

00:37:39.179 --> 00:37:40.760
But<00:37:39.320><c> they</c><00:37:39.579><c> still</c><00:37:39.760><c> got</c><00:37:39.920><c> the</c><00:37:40.179><c> technology.</c>

00:37:41.780 --> 00:37:42.639
But<00:37:41.940><c> it</c><00:37:42.059><c> was</c><00:37:42.280><c> hidden,</c>

00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:46.179
and<00:37:43.159><c> it</c><00:37:43.219><c> was</c><00:37:43.400><c> on</c><00:37:43.539><c> a</c><00:37:43.619><c> very</c><00:37:44.059><c> small</c><00:37:44.519><c> scale</c><00:37:44.980><c> as</c><00:37:45.280><c> well,</c><00:37:45.840><c> okay?</c>

It's<00:38:24.219><c> the</c><00:38:24.420><c> worst.</c>

00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:38.480
Doesn't<00:38:37.599><c> it</c><00:38:37.699><c> have</c><00:38:37.780><c> to</c><00:38:37.880><c> be</c><00:38:38.119><c> perfect?</c>

00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:39.780
Let's<00:38:38.699><c> have</c><00:38:38.860><c> a</c><00:38:39.099><c> general</c><00:38:39.460><c> plan,</c>

00:38:42.980 --> 00:38:46.320
And<00:38:43.099><c> I</c><00:38:43.139><c> think</c><00:38:43.340><c> that</c><00:38:43.519><c> was,</c><00:38:44.119><c> that</c><00:38:44.639><c> was</c><00:38:45.460><c> Jonathan's</c><00:38:46.079><c> idea.</c>

Let's<00:38:46.960><c> go</c><00:38:47.300><c> up,</c><00:38:48.380><c> if</c><00:38:48.440><c> the</c><00:38:48.619><c> Philistines</c><00:38:49.260><c> act</c><00:38:49.679><c> in</c><00:38:49.960><c> a</c><00:38:50.079><c> certain</c><00:38:50.360><c> way,</c>

00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:56.320

I<00:42:36.019><c> will</c><00:42:36.260><c> forever</c><00:42:36.800><c> be</c><00:42:37.179><c> at</c><00:42:37.500><c> war</c><00:42:37.719><c> with</c><00:42:37.980><c> Amalek</c>

Remember<00:42:40.599><c> Amalek</c><00:42:41.099><c> attacked</c><00:42:41.739><c> the</c><00:42:42.000><c> weakest</c><00:42:42.380><c> of</c><00:42:42.619><c> the</c><00:42:42.800><c> people,</c>

And<00:42:55.500><c> that</c><00:42:55.579><c> was</c><00:42:55.840><c> abhorrent</c><00:42:56.340><c> to</c><00:42:56.599><c> God.</c>

00:42:57.019 --> 00:42:59.320
And<00:42:57.039><c> so</c><00:42:57.239><c> again,</c><00:42:58.380><c> Saul</c><00:42:58.460><c> was</c><00:42:58.739><c> committed</c><00:42:59.000><c> to</c><00:42:59.179><c> go</c>

00:43:02.900 --> 00:43:06.079
He<00:43:03.219><c> did</c><00:43:03.500><c> according</c><00:43:03.800><c> to</c><00:43:04.019><c> his</c><00:43:04.219><c> own</c><00:43:04.420><c> rules</c><00:43:04.639><c> and</c><00:43:04.900><c> regulations.</c>

00:43:06.259 --> 00:43:10.159
Saul<00:43:06.599><c> did</c><00:43:06.840><c> what,</c><00:43:07.239><c> which</c><00:43:07.519><c> was</c><00:43:07.800><c> right</c><00:43:08.139><c> in</c><00:43:08.360><c> his</c><00:43:08.739><c> own</c><00:43:09.099><c> eyes.</c>

00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:12.340
God<00:43:11.119><c> had</c><00:43:11.340><c> given</c><00:43:11.480><c> him</c><00:43:11.699><c> a</c><00:43:11.880><c> commandment.</c>

And<00:43:12.679><c> once</c><00:43:12.960><c> again,</c><00:43:13.940><c> Saul</c><00:43:14.500><c> doesn't</c><00:43:15.099><c> do</c><00:43:15.320><c> the</c><00:43:15.480><c> whole</c><00:43:15.760><c> thing.</c>

00:43:16.739 --> 00:43:17.780
He<00:43:16.900><c> makes</c><00:43:17.219><c> a</c><00:43:17.340><c> mistake.</c>

00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:22.480
He<00:43:18.480><c> keeps</c><00:43:18.760><c> the</c><00:43:19.099><c> best</c><00:43:19.639><c> of</c><00:43:20.420><c> all</c><00:43:20.719><c> the</c><00:43:21.000><c> booty</c><00:43:21.300><c> for</c><00:43:21.780><c> himself</c>

00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:29.000
That's<00:43:25.599><c> a</c><00:43:25.699><c> good</c><00:43:25.840><c> one,</c><00:43:26.900><c> they</c><00:43:26.960><c> had</c><00:43:27.059><c> to</c><00:43:27.059><c> sacrifice</c><00:43:27.800><c> to</c><00:43:28.039><c> you.</c>

00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:31.860
And<00:43:30.239><c> so</c><00:43:30.400><c> the</c><00:43:30.599><c> kingdom</c><00:43:30.780><c> is</c><00:43:31.019><c> taken</c><00:43:31.239><c> from</c><00:43:31.480><c> him.</c>

00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:34.300
And<00:43:32.380><c> we</c><00:43:32.519><c> know</c><00:43:32.760><c> that</c><00:43:32.920><c> it</c><00:43:33.019><c> is</c><00:43:33.139><c> gonna</c><00:43:33.280><c> be</c><00:43:33.519><c> given</c><00:43:33.699><c> to</c><00:43:34.019><c> David.</c>

00:43:34.300 --> 00:43:37.980
And<00:43:34.780><c> this</c><00:43:35.000><c> is,</c><00:43:36.380><c> you</c><00:43:36.400><c> know,</c><00:43:36.739><c> Agag</c><00:43:37.079><c> is</c><00:43:37.179><c> gonna</c><00:43:37.440><c> die</c><00:43:37.679><c> as</c><00:43:37.880><c> well.</c>

00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:40.079
And<00:43:38.179><c> from</c><00:43:38.300><c> this</c><00:43:38.639><c> point</c><00:43:38.900><c> on,</c><00:43:39.380><c> brothers</c><00:43:39.539><c> and</c><00:43:39.820><c> sisters,</c>

00:43:40.300 --> 00:43:42.760
Saul's<00:43:40.780><c> mental</c><00:43:41.199><c> state</c><00:43:41.460><c> is</c><00:43:41.699><c> not</c><00:43:41.940><c> great.</c>

00:43:42.780 --> 00:43:44.780
It's<00:43:42.840><c> not,</c><00:43:43.039><c> he</c><00:43:43.280><c> has</c><00:43:43.360><c> his</c><00:43:43.539><c> ups</c><00:43:43.719><c> and</c><00:43:43.940><c> downs,</c><00:43:44.239><c> doesn't</c><00:43:44.579><c> he?</c>

00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:48.159
He<00:43:45.300><c> gets</c><00:43:45.519><c> into</c><00:43:45.800><c> these</c><00:43:46.579><c> mindsets.</c>

00:43:48.840 --> 00:43:51.280
It's<00:43:49.159><c> taken</c><00:43:49.400><c> from</c><00:43:49.599><c> him,</c><00:43:49.880><c> evil</c><00:43:50.099><c> spirit</c><00:43:50.420><c> from</c><00:43:50.679><c> the</c><00:43:50.920><c> Lord,</c>

00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:54.820
manic<00:43:52.099><c> behavior,</c><00:43:52.940><c> certainly</c><00:43:53.320><c> depression,</c><00:43:54.039><c> that</c><00:43:54.260><c> type</c><00:43:54.460><c> of</c><00:43:54.639><c> thing.</c>

00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:58.940
Music<00:43:55.739><c> is</c><00:43:55.980><c> gonna</c><00:43:56.119><c> have</c><00:43:56.420><c> a</c><00:43:56.559><c> positive</c><00:43:57.000><c> impact</c><00:43:58.360><c> on</c><00:43:58.639><c> Saul.</c>

00:43:59.300 --> 00:44:01.380
And<00:43:59.460><c> this</c><00:43:59.599><c> is</c><00:43:59.760><c> where</c><00:43:59.960><c> David</c><00:44:00.340><c> kind</c><00:44:00.599><c> of</c><00:44:00.780><c> enters</c><00:44:00.980><c> the</c><00:44:01.239><c> scene.</c>

00:44:01.420 --> 00:44:03.260
We'll<00:44:01.559><c> look</c><00:44:01.760><c> at</c><00:44:01.880><c> this</c><00:44:02.099><c> in</c><00:44:02.320><c> a</c><00:44:02.460><c> little</c><00:44:02.559><c> more</c><00:44:02.840><c> detail.</c>

00:44:03.260 --> 00:44:06.420
Okay,<00:44:03.900><c> the</c><00:44:04.159><c> playing</c><00:44:04.440><c> of</c><00:44:05.440><c> the</c><00:44:05.599><c> lute.</c>

00:44:06.739 --> 00:44:07.920

00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:15.000
You<00:44:08.159><c> wonder</c><00:44:08.320><c> what</c><00:44:08.599><c> kind</c><00:44:08.780><c> of</c><00:44:11.659><c> songs</c><00:44:12.079><c> David</c><00:44:12.420><c> was</c><00:44:12.639><c> singing</c><00:44:13.380><c> to</c><00:44:14.820><c> Saul.</c>

00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:16.679
Did<00:44:15.539><c> he</c><00:44:15.739><c> sing</c><00:44:15.900><c> any</c><00:44:16.159><c> of</c><00:44:16.179><c> the</c><00:44:16.360><c> songs?</c>

00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:17.900
Did<00:44:16.860><c> he</c><00:44:16.900><c> had</c><00:44:17.039><c> his</c><00:44:17.260><c> own?</c>

00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:21.639
This<00:44:17.920><c> is,</c><00:44:18.139><c> hey,</c><00:44:19.280><c> Saul,</c><00:44:19.420><c> this</c><00:44:19.619><c> is</c><00:44:19.800><c> a</c><00:44:19.880><c> new</c><00:44:20.059><c> song</c><00:44:20.380><c> he</c><00:44:20.599><c> just</c><00:44:20.840><c> composed.</c>

00:44:22.019 --> 00:44:23.519
Oh,<00:44:22.300><c> I</c><00:44:22.420><c> like</c><00:44:22.599><c> that</c><00:44:22.860><c> one,</c><00:44:23.239><c> right?</c>

00:44:23.619 --> 00:44:24.820
I<00:44:23.760><c> don't</c><00:44:23.880><c> know.</c>

00:44:25.059 --> 00:44:26.559
Very<00:44:25.440><c> talented</c><00:44:25.940><c> guy,</c><00:44:26.340><c> David.</c>

00:44:26.619 --> 00:44:30.719
Great<00:44:26.880><c> warrior,</c><00:44:27.699><c> great</c><00:44:27.940><c> musician</c><00:44:28.579><c> as</c><00:44:29.019><c> well,</c><00:44:29.900><c> right?</c>

00:44:30.860 --> 00:44:33.619
All<00:44:31.079><c> right,</c><00:44:31.780><c> he's</c><00:44:32.000><c> gonna</c><00:44:32.159><c> become</c><00:44:32.380><c> obsessed</c><00:44:32.800><c> with</c><00:44:33.019><c> killing</c><00:44:33.239><c> David.</c>

00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:35.420
He's<00:44:34.260><c> gonna</c><00:44:34.380><c> chase</c><00:44:34.699><c> David</c><00:44:35.079><c> down.</c>

00:44:35.539 --> 00:44:37.099
He<00:44:35.619><c> almost</c><00:44:35.920><c> gets</c><00:44:36.119><c> him</c><00:44:36.320><c> a</c><00:44:36.420><c> couple</c><00:44:36.639><c> times.</c>

00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:39.159
We'll<00:44:37.360><c> get</c><00:44:37.539><c> into</c><00:44:37.679><c> that</c><00:44:37.960><c> a</c><00:44:38.059><c> little</c><00:44:38.219><c> bit</c><00:44:38.420><c> later.</c>

00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:41.760
So<00:44:40.059><c> Saul's</c><00:44:40.420><c> reign</c><00:44:40.539><c> is</c><00:44:40.719><c> gonna</c><00:44:40.920><c> end,</c><00:44:41.199><c> unfortunately,</c>

00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:44.400
with<00:44:41.980><c> three</c><00:44:42.239><c> of</c><00:44:42.400><c> his</c><00:44:42.619><c> sons,</c><00:44:43.119><c> along</c><00:44:43.260><c> with</c><00:44:43.500><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:45.940
It's<00:44:44.599><c> gonna</c><00:44:44.760><c> end</c><00:44:45.000><c> on</c><00:44:45.219><c> Mount</c><00:44:45.460><c> Gilboa.</c>

00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:48.199
You<00:44:46.380><c> know,</c><00:44:46.480><c> that's</c><00:44:46.659><c> the</c><00:44:46.760><c> question,</c><00:44:47.019><c> why</c><00:44:47.260><c> on</c><00:44:47.420><c> Mount</c><00:44:47.599><c> Gilboa?</c>

00:44:48.380 --> 00:44:51.519
Interesting,<00:44:48.780><c> I</c><00:44:48.800><c> think</c><00:44:49.539><c> Saul</c><00:44:50.659><c> was</c><00:44:50.880><c> kind</c><00:44:51.019><c> of</c><00:44:51.239><c> expanding</c>

00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:53.639
his<00:44:51.840><c> territory,</c><00:44:52.340><c> I</c><00:44:52.539><c> think,</c><00:44:52.900><c> and</c><00:44:53.039><c> the</c><00:44:53.219><c> Philistines</c>

00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:56.300
looked<00:44:53.920><c> at</c><00:44:54.159><c> this</c><00:44:54.380><c> as</c><00:44:54.559><c> an</c><00:44:54.679><c> opportunity</c><00:44:55.179><c> to</c><00:44:55.400><c> get</c><00:44:55.539><c> him.</c>

00:44:56.900 --> 00:44:57.900
He<00:44:57.000><c> was</c><00:44:57.199><c> a</c><00:44:57.320><c> great</c><00:44:57.460><c> warrior.</c>

00:44:57.900 --> 00:45:00.599
He<00:44:58.519><c> started</c><00:44:58.880><c> the</c><00:44:59.039><c> whole</c><00:44:59.300><c> process</c><00:44:59.699><c> of</c><00:44:59.880><c> bringing</c><00:45:00.159><c> together</c>

00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.780
the<00:45:00.719><c> nation</c><00:45:01.039><c> of</c><00:45:01.219><c> Israel</c><00:45:01.480><c> into</c><00:45:01.699><c> one</c><00:45:02.059><c> coherent</c><00:45:03.320><c> political</c><00:45:04.699><c> entity.</c>

00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:10.400
He<00:45:06.800><c> was</c><00:45:07.039><c> impulsive,</c><00:45:07.860><c> rash,</c><00:45:08.579><c> prone</c><00:45:08.739><c> to</c><00:45:09.099><c> extremes.</c>

00:45:11.059 --> 00:45:13.019
Whomst<00:45:11.380><c> among</c><00:45:11.599><c> us,</c><00:45:11.920><c> right?</c>

00:45:13.099 --> 00:45:13.940
We're<00:45:13.300><c> all</c><00:45:13.420><c> like</c><00:45:13.719><c> this.</c>

00:45:13.980 --> 00:45:16.980
Impulsive,<00:45:14.699><c> rash,</c><00:45:15.099><c> prone</c><00:45:15.239><c> to</c><00:45:15.539><c> extremes,</c><00:45:16.119><c> yes.</c>

00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:20.840
Remember<00:45:19.320><c> he</c><00:45:19.500><c> killed</c><00:45:19.719><c> the</c><00:45:19.980><c> priests</c><00:45:20.159><c> of</c><00:45:20.460><c> God</c>

00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:25.139
because<00:45:21.280><c> they</c><00:45:21.619><c> harbored</c><00:45:22.739><c> David,</c><00:45:23.980><c> imagine?</c>

00:45:25.619 --> 00:45:28.940
Doag,<00:45:26.179><c> yeah,</c><00:45:26.400><c> Doag</c><00:45:27.099><c> sent</c><00:45:27.519><c> them,</c><00:45:28.440><c> right?</c>

00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:31.340
Suffered<00:45:29.340><c> from</c><00:45:29.460><c> bouts</c><00:45:29.619><c> of</c><00:45:29.820><c> paranoia,</c><00:45:30.420><c> depression,</c><00:45:30.639><c> mania,</c>

00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:32.460
and<00:45:31.659><c> he</c><00:45:31.860><c> saved</c><00:45:32.059><c> Israel.</c>

00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:34.659
He<00:45:33.059><c> did</c><00:45:33.300><c> save</c><00:45:33.500><c> Israel</c><00:45:33.820><c> from</c><00:45:34.000><c> the</c><00:45:34.159><c> Philistines</c>

00:45:38.059 --> 00:45:42.139
This<00:45:38.300><c> is</c><00:45:38.500><c> why</c><00:45:39.000><c> when</c><00:45:39.780><c> David,</c><00:45:40.679><c> he</c><00:45:40.679><c> writes</c><00:45:40.880><c> the</c><00:45:41.159><c> psalm</c>
