Are we going back to reading the 32 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.359 word or will we just be doing the roundtable thing? 33 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.879 And as you probably already know, that was just we 34 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.159 were only doing roundtables because I was on that cruise. 35 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.040 So now that I'm back, I'm ready to go.

Brad 45 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:33.080 Gillis Mike Winger has a six hour episode on head coverings. Wow, 46 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.479 that's a lot lot of content to do just about 47 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.680 head coverings. Angela Kelly, this one is my favorite books 48 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.960 of the Bible. I'm glad. Yes, definitely. I had a 49 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:46.560 wonderful time. Yeah, we had a great time. If I 50 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.319 if I was this is video, you know, I would 51 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.199 I wouldn't, would you know? And I wasn't if I 52 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.680 didn't do like the conspiracy podcast, and I'd probably show 53 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.919 you guys pictures of my vacation and my cruise. But 54 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.280 since I do the conspiracy stuff, and I have some 55 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.319 people that are like, you know, deep into conspiracies, and 56 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.560 I also have some people that are like SRA and 57 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.240 abuse and all that stuff. I try to keep my 58 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.280 children away from, you know, from people and being able 59 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.520 to see what they look like basically as much as 60 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.560 I can. Obviously it's too hard to now because of 61 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.199 social media. But yeah, I would definitely show. But anyways, 62 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.960 much love to everybody that's listening. Thank you so much 63 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.280 for tuning in, and thank you for listening while I 64 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.719 was gone.

Thank you to all 66 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.759 those people that are commenting on Patreon. I really appreciate you. 67 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:36.639 I saw that there was a few comments on there 68 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.120 about the roundtables that they really liked it, you know, 69 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.800 so you know, I just hope that you guys enjoyed it. 70 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.759 I didn't see as many comments. That's probably because I 71 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.199 wasn't doing the Bible study. Here's what I believe. But 72 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.080 I think you guys were still tuning in because you 73 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.240 guys are awesome. So thank you for that. And let 74 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.879 me just jump to the word. You guys have been 75 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.879 waiting for. To get back to the word. That's what 76 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.039 I've been reading in the comment section. So now we're 77 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.000 gonna be doing twenty one through twenty four for sure, probably, 78 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.840 I'm thinking, so uh let's go ahead and uh do 79 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:11.360 our best. 80 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:16.720 We'll probably be finishing a second samuel, and let me 81 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.079 see you real quick, I think we only. 82 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.800 Have twenty four chapters. Yep, we got twenty four chapters, 83 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:27.240 and then we will probably start First Kings, but I'll 84 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.959 do my best to definitely get through Second Samuel, which 85 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.839 is amazing. We're like making our way through the Bible. 86 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.079 It's crazy because we're we'll have Kings and then we 87 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:46.959 have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, 88 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.000 twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, 89 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.399 twenty six, twenty seven more books to go, and we'll 90 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.079 be through with the Old Testament. I know that sounds 91 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.000 like a lot, but guys, we're gonna do our very 92 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.800 best to crush it. So let me just start with 93 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:06.519 an introduction to Second Samuel, Chapter twenty one. Second Samuel 94 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.519 twenty one teaches us the importance of honoring covenants and promises. 95 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.319 It underlines the concept of justice, the courage of individuals 96 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.600 during adversity, and the loyalty of David's warriors. From Riz 97 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.759 Pause devoted protection of her sons to the courageous acts 98 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.839 of David's warriors. We witnessed the power of faith, loyalty, 99 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:32.319 and commitment. So there we go. Let me just go 100 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:42.199 ahead and get to my notes on here. Perfect, all right. 101 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.959 So that's twenty oops. So I want to go to 102 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:56.399 twenty one. So David avenges the give knights. Now there 103 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.480 was a famine, and this is a second Samuel twenty one, 104 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.079 verse one. Now there was a famine in the days 105 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.519 of David for three years, year after year. And David 106 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.879 inquired of the Lord, and the Lord answered, it is 107 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.480 because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed 108 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.199 the Gibeonites. So the king called the gibe Kites and 109 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.519 spoke to them. Now, the Gibeonites were not of the 110 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.120 children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, 111 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.120 the children of Israel and sworn protection to them, had 112 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.560 sworn protection to them, but Saul had sought to kill 113 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.399 them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah. Therefore, 114 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.040 David said to the Gibeonites, what shall I do? What 115 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.720 shall I do for you? And with that shall I 116 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.199 make atonement that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord. 117 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.639 And the Gibeonites said to him, we will have no 118 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.879 silver or gold from Saul or from his house, nor 119 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.079 shall you kill any man in Israel for us. So 120 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.079 we said, whatever you say, I will do for you. 121 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.879 Then they answered, the King asked for the man who 122 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.560 consumed us and plotted against us, that we should be 123 00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.360 destroyed from remaining in any of the territories of Israel. 124 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.879 Seven men of his descendants be delivered to us, and 125 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.319 we will hang them before the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, 126 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.079 whom the Lord chose. And the king said, I will 127 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:17.480 give them ah Man. Okay, let's just pause there. See 128 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.360 what I have on my notes. We'll go all the 129 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.399 way to fourteen before I go to my other notes. 130 00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.120 But these ones the famine and inquiry. During the reign 131 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.160 of David, there was a famine for three executive years, 132 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.800 and David sought the face of the Lord teach. And 133 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.439 this teaches us the importance of seeking God's guidance in 134 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.120 times of trouble, and the narrative of a famine. Let's 135 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.040 see what that is. The narrative of famine and inquiry 136 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.600 is a reoccurring theme in the Bible, illustrating both divine 137 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.519 judgment and providence. Famines often serve as a backdrop for 138 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.519 significant theological and moral lessons, prompting individuals and nations to 139 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:58.360 seek divine guidance and intervention. Famine in the time of Abraham. 140 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.519 Bible inces is a famine. So we had famine in 141 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.199 the time of Abraham. It was first mentioned in Genesis twelve, 142 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.879 verse ten. There was a famine in the land, and 143 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.439 Abraham went to Egypt to live there for a while 144 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.560 while his famine was severe. And then we had Isaac's 145 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.439 famine in Genesis twenty six to one. Another famine strikes 146 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.360 during Isaac's time, distinct from the one of Abraham. Abraham's days, 147 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.360 God instructs Isaac not to go to Egypt but to 148 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.399 stay in Gurar, promising to bless him there. And then 149 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.000 Joseph and the Egyptian famine, which you guys, that's a 150 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.080 very popular story in Genesis forty one through forty chapter 151 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.360 forty one through forty seven. And then there's a famine 152 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.799 in the time of David, which we're reading about now, 153 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.679 and Second Samuel twenty one, verse one, and then Elijah 154 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.080 and the drought and First Kings seventeen and eighteen. Elijah 155 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.919 proclaims a drought as judgment against Israel's idolatry under King 156 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.720 Ahab and Queen Jezebel, and then there was a famine 157 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.919 in the Siega Samaria and Second King six d twenty 158 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:11.639 four describes a severe famine during the the A Siege 159 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.919 of Samaria. The miraculous deliverance through the unexpected retreat of 160 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:19.519 the Aramine army illustrates God's ability to provide in dire circumstances. 161 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.600 What's the theological significance of famines? Just so we know? 162 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.360 Famines in the Bible often serve as an instrument of 163 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:29.120 divine discipline, calling individuals and nations to repentance and faith. 164 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.639 They are reminders of human dependence on God for sustenance 165 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.840 and life. The inquirers made. The inquiries made during these times, 166 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:42.919 whether through prayer, prophecy, or divine revelation, reflect a turning 167 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.799 to God for wisdom and deliverance. And what's lessons for believers? 168 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.639 The accounts of famine and inquiry encourage believers to trust 169 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:55.000 in God's provision, seek his guidance in times of crisis, 170 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.440 and remain faithful amidst trials. They remind the faithful of 171 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.559 the importance of obedience, repair, and the assurance that God 172 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.720 is sovereign over all circumstances, working all things for the 173 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.240 good of those who love him Romans eight twenty eight. 174 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.679 So I just wanted to go over the famines that 175 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.759 were in the Bible, so you guys know, and it 176 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.120 also included David's famine that he's going through right now. 177 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:20.279 And then the cause of the famine. The Lord reveals 178 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.480 that the famine is due to Saul's breach of covenant 179 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.759 with the Gibbean Nites, highlighting the seriousness of breaking oaths 180 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:32.799 and the need for justice. Wow, that's very important because 181 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.480 God is a just god. Right, So they're broken oath 182 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.360 and it looks like the famine is happy because the 183 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.120 Saul broke an oath. And then David's response, David seeks 184 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.759 to make amends with the Gibbea Knights, demonstrating the importance 185 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.879 of taking responsibility for past wrongs. Second sam of twenty 186 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.600 one three through six. And we're going to go ahead 187 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.919 and read about the execution of justice right now. So 188 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.840 it's kind of interesting what's going on here. Let's go 189 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.559 ahead and read verse seven. It says, but the king 190 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:09.440 spared mehe bocheth oh mehe boschath. Now we're back to 191 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.919 that name, which is so hard to pronounce. The son 192 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.600 of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the Lord's 193 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.159 oath that was between them between David and Jonathan, the 194 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:24.000 son of Saul. So the king took Armani and Michel, Mahipaseeth, 195 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.960 the two sons of Rispol the daughter of Ayah who 196 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.000 she bore to Sault, and the five sons of McCall 197 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.279 the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up from Adriel, 198 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:40.879 the son of Barzillah, and Mehelite Metathite, and he delivered 199 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.279 them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged 200 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.759 them on the hill before the Lord man. That's brutal. 201 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.279 So they fell all seven together and were put to 202 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.879 death in the days of Harvest, in the first days, 203 00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:06.360 in the beginning of the barley harvest. So anyways, the 204 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:10.240 Gibbea Knights requests the execution of seven of Saul's descendants, 205 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:14.639 which David grants except for Mahisobath due to his covenant 206 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:18.320 with Jonathan. So let's maybe read a little bit about that, 207 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:23.039 because that's for me, it's really confusing that. But you know, 208 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:31.879 because I don't understand how the death of sauls like, 209 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.200 why they should pay for Saul. You know. But God 210 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.519 is a just God, you know. And it looks like 211 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:44.039 that's what the Gibba knights wanted and that's what David provided, 212 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.200 you know. So let's see what it says here. The 213 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.039 concept of justice is a central theme throughout the Bible, 214 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.480 reflecting God's character and his expectations for human conduct. The 215 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.080 execution of justice is not merely a legal or societal obligation, 216 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.960 but a divine mandate that permeates the scriptures in the Bible. 217 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.480 Bible justice is often intertwined with righteousness, mercy, and truth, 218 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.679 forming a comprehensive framework for ethical living. It's not really 219 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.159 concentrating on Second Samuel here though, it's going through a 220 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.159 lot of other stuff I don't really want to bring up. 221 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.320 But what's the practical implications of the execution of justice 222 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.600 has practical implications for believers who call to reflect God's 223 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:29.360 justice and their personal and communal lives. This involves advocating 224 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.360 for the oppressed, defending the rights of the vulnerable, and 225 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.320 ensuring fairness and all dealings. The Biblical mandate for justice 226 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.559 challenges Christians to engage actively in their societies, promoting systems 227 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.799 and practices align with God's standards. In summary, the execution 228 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.960 of justice the divine imperative that encompasses both individual conduct 229 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.919 and social structures. It is rooted in the character of 230 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.639 God and is a reflection of his righteous rule, calling 231 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:57.279 believers to live justly in a testimony of his kingdom. Yeah, 232 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.399 so ten and e less and now Rispaul, the daughter 233 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:03.720 of Okay, that's going to be where we're going to 234 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:11.159 be at. So let me see cause of famine a 235 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.679 broken covenant. God revealed that the famine was consequences of 236 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.480 King Saul's actions years earlier when he attacked and killed 237 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:21.200 some of the Gibeon Knites, violating a treaty that had 238 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.879 been made with Israel centuries before. So it looks like 239 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:28.559 there was a treaty that they had and Saul attacked 240 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.120 them anyway, a blood debt. The famine was seen as 241 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:35.240 a form of God's judgment for this broken covenant and 242 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.320 the resulting in blood guilt. The Gibian knightes demand execution. 243 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:42.039 Seeking to toonement, David inquired of the Lord about the 244 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:45.440 famine and was told to appease the Gibeon Kites the 245 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.960 price of appeasement. The Gibbea knightes demanded that seven of 246 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:53.000 Saul's male descendants be given to them for execution. David's 247 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.080 difficult decision. David, likely seeing this as a way to 248 00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:01.240 remove potential rival claimants to the throne, hand it over 249 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.240 seven men for Saul's family, two five grandsons, two sons 250 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.919 and five grandsons. I guess that kind of makes sense 251 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.600 the execution. These men were hanged at the beginning of 252 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.320 the Barley harvest. YEP says it right here. All seven 253 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.200 together were put to death in the days of the 254 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.840 harvest and the first days in the beginning of Barley Harvest. 255 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.600 Let's continue Second Samuel twenty one, verse ten. See, I 256 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.720 don't always I don't always. I don't always act like 257 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:30.919 I understand these things in the Bible. You know, some 258 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:32.960 of the stuff that I read, obviously, I don't one 259 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.200 hundred percent understand, and I don't one hundred percent like 260 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.480 understand why. But it's not up to me to know, 261 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.919 you know why. It's just up to me to read 262 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:45.120 and try to interpret to you guys and do my 263 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.919 best to teach on it, you know. And that that's 264 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:49.600 a pretty good point though, that I that I see 265 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:52.759 in these notes right here, is that that maybe these 266 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.200 that's the way David was thinking, was like, hey, these 267 00:15:55.200 --> 00:16:02.320 could be potential rivals to the to the throne. So well, 268 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.080 that's what will happen usually with kings is even though sauls, 269 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.120 Saul's families not all the way wiped out, so they 270 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:14.120 might think that they have claim to the throne right, 271 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.200 so they could kind of start a revolt and come 272 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.279 after King David. So I can kind of see that, 273 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.440 But let's see what it says in Tewod Samuel twenty one, 274 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.039 verse ten. Now, Rispol, the daughter of Ayah, took sackcloth 275 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.440 and spread it for herself on the rock for the 276 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.799 beginning of the harvest, until the late rains poured on 277 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.600 them from heaven. And she did not allow the birds 278 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.080 of the air to rest on them by day, nor 279 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.080 beast on the field by night. And David was told 280 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.720 that Rispol, the daughter of Ayah, the concubine of Saul, 281 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.360 had done. Then David went and took the bones of 282 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.480 Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the 283 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:52.679 men of Jiwbash Giliad, who had stolen them from the 284 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.000 street of Beth Shaan, for the Philistines had hung them 285 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.759 up after the Philistines had struck down Saul and Gilboa. 286 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.559 So he brought up the bones of Saul on the 287 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.279 bones of Jonathan his son from there, and they gathered 288 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:08.119 the bones of those who had been hanged. They buried 289 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.160 the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the 290 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.640 county of Benjamin and Zillah and the tomb of Kish 291 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:18.799 his father. So they performed all that the king commanded. 292 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:23.400 And after that God heeded the prayer of the land. Okay, 293 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.680 so it looks like he he delivered the bones and 294 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:33.359 they were able to bury him in Benjamin. So David 295 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:38.480 had some capassion when he heard of Brispoul's unwavering dedication. 296 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:42.039 He was moved and ordered the collection of the bodies. 297 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:47.799 Right so, and then the final burial, David gathered the 298 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.640 bones of Saul on the son Jonathan from Jebesca. Lad 299 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.759 collected the bones of the seven men as well, and 300 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:58.319 he buried them all in the tomb of Kish, Saul's father. So, 301 00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:00.720 all right, so we have that, and let me see 302 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:06.960 what we got here. Riz Paul's vigil ris Paul's active 303 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.599 morning of protection over the bodies of her sons underscores 304 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.680 the death of a mother's love and need for dignity 305 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:18.519 and death. Yes, man, So David kind of did whatever 306 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:24.559 he could to kind of make up for what's going on. 307 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:29.400 But still it's terrible. She was sad because the kids, 308 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:34.119 you know, the seven. She was sad because of her sons, 309 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:39.720 you know. And yeah, I mean, I totally understand. And 310 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:45.480 then in verses twelve fourteen, after David ensures the proper 311 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.039 berty of Saul and Jonathan, God responds to the prayers 312 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.160 for the land and ended the famine. So that kind 313 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.599 of seals things up, you know, for God. And David 314 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.839 was he listened to God, and then God came and 315 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.400 stopped the fai emen. He heeded the prayer for the 316 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:08.960 land and Second Samuel twenty one, verse fifteen Philistine giants destroyed. 317 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:11.920 All right, now we're gonna learn about some giants here. 318 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.039 When the Philistines, this is a Second Samuel twenty one, 319 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:21.920 verse fifteen, though, when the Philistines were at war again 320 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.920 with Israel, David and his servants with him went down 321 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.880 and fought against the Philistines, and David grew faint. Then 322 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:32.640 Ishbi Banab, who was one of the sons of the 323 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.720 giant the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, 324 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:40.960 who was burying a new sword, thought he could kill 325 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.920 King David. But abash Shai, the son of Zara, came 326 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.920 to his aid instruct the Philistine and killed him. Then 327 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.160 the men of David swore to him, saying, you shall 328 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.519 go out no more with us to battle, lest you 329 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.519 quenched the lamp of Israel. Okay, so let's check a 330 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.119 few things out here. So three hundred shekels. Let's see 331 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:11.720 what that weighs in pounds? How much does three hundred 332 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:35.400 shekels weigh and pounds? Let's see three hundred shekels weight? 333 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:40.559 I want to weight in pounds. We don't have a 334 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:43.599 quick answer. Come on, come on, come on, how much 335 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:54.000 does three hundred shekels weigh in pounds? Please convert shuckle 336 00:20:54.240 --> 00:21:01.000 tyblical Hebrew sheckle three hundred, So it's seven point five pounds. 337 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:06.079 So it says that the bronze spear was three hundred 338 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.480 the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, 339 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.359 who was bearing a new sword, So it looks like 340 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:20.759 his spear was eight pounds. Nothing crazy, okay, I just 341 00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:26.000 wanted to see and Okay, so it looks like it 342 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.680 says that Ishbi benab who was one of the sons 343 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:34.799 of the giant, one of the sons of the giant. 344 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:40.200 Who is the giant? Let me see what is that? 345 00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:47.000 That is eighteen? Sapi? Is that what it is? Sepai? 346 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:54.640 Eight f Sapai? That could be Sapi. Maybe the Giant's 347 00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:58.119 name is Sapi. I don't know. I don't know who 348 00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:02.319 the giant is. Now it happened out for those No, no, no, 349 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:04.400 that's not what I want. I don't want eighteen. It 350 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:10.519 says e. Who's e or Rafa? Oh yeah, so giant. 351 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:14.880 Instead of using giant, you could use Rafa Rafaeim. Yeah, 352 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.519 it's one of the sons of the Giant, the weight 353 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.880 of whose spirit was three hundred shekels, who is bearing 354 00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:23.119 a new sword thought he could kill King David. So 355 00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:26.599 all right, and it's kind of interesting that they said 356 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:29.799 that he's the son of the Giant. I mean, who's 357 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:35.839 the giant? Ah, let's see, is it. I wonder if 358 00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:44.519 it's Goliath or I don't know. I'm just kind of thinking, uh, 359 00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:46.319 let's see if I can find out for you guys, 360 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:50.599 real quick second, Samuel, I know these things you probably 361 00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:52.200 might not care as much as I do, But I 362 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.279 care about these things because I do studies on giants. 363 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.960 You know. Oh, let's see the Ishmael who is one 364 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:10.440 of the sons of the giant. Several giants, those including 365 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:14.319 a man named who nearly killed the aging King David. 366 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:21.000 So his name is SBB So what's okay? Yeah, I 367 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.400 can't it's too hard to find quickly. So it's interesting 368 00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:26.920 that it says that Bana who was one of the 369 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.240 sons of the giant, So he's probably smaller in stature, 370 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.240 but he's the son of the of a giant, right, 371 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.319 so I think maybe a Rafaim mixed with a woman 372 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:41.200 would probably produce, you know, still a someone who's big 373 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.640 in stature, but it's going to be less not as 374 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.960 not as big obviously as the ones from before the flood, 375 00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:53.440 the Rapaim. They seem to be smaller. So yeah, interesting stuff. 376 00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.079 Let's go ahead and continue tewod Samuel twenty one, verse eighteen, 377 00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.519 And yeah, sorry for the inconvenience, but to kind of 378 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.519 search that stuff sometimes it's interesting to me. Second sam 379 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.400 Of twenty one, verse eighteen. Now it happened afterward there 380 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:09.839 was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then 381 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:17.200 sibe Kai the Husha Knight killed Sath, who was one 382 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:20.400 of the sons of the Giant. Again there was a 383 00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:24.519 war at gob with the Philistines were Elahan, the son 384 00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:29.000 of Jerry or a Jem the betha Mite killed the 385 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.960 brother of Goliath, the get type. There we go. See, 386 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:34.680 I knew there was gonna be Goliath mentioned in here, 387 00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:38.720 the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 388 00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.599 So sorry, guys, I got confused from that verse to 389 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:44.279 the other one, because I knew Goliath was in near somewhere. 390 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.839 Yet again there was a war at Gath, where there 391 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.799 was a man of great stature who had six fingers 392 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:54.880 on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty 393 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:57.720 four in number. And he also was born to the Giant. 394 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.200 So when he did filed Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shemid, 395 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:09.440 David's brother killed him. These four born to the Giant 396 00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:11.680 in Gath and fell by the hand of David and 397 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:16.640 by the hands of his servants. So very interesting here 398 00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:21.400 some stuff I need to probably remember. It's kind of 399 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:25.880 interesting about this six finger and six toes part, because 400 00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:32.200 you know that's exactly what the native American Indians were 401 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.039
