00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.379
 1 Samuel 25, starting at verse 1.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.780
 And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.039
 The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife, Abigail.

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:44.560
 And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance.

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.859
 And the man was harsh and evil in his doings.

00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.620
 He was of the house of Caleb.

00:00:52.219 --> 00:00:55.840
 When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,

00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:58.219
 David sent ten young men.

00:00:58.219 --> 00:00:59.979
 And David said to the young men,

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.780
 Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.280
 And thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity,

00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:12.599
 Peace be to you, peace to your house, and peace to all that you have.

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:16.420
 Now I have heard that you have shearers,

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:19.939
 and your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them,

00:01:20.259 --> 00:01:22.219
 nor was there anything missing from them.

00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:24.519
 All the while they were in Carmel.

00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:26.659
 Ask your young men.

00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:28.299
 Then they will tell you,

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.560
 Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes,

00:01:31.739 --> 00:01:33.239
 for we come on a feast day.

00:01:34.259 --> 00:01:38.739
 Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son, David.

00:01:39.579 --> 00:01:41.359
 So when David's young men came,

00:01:41.899 --> 00:01:46.219
 they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David and waited.

00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.879
 Then Nabal answered David's servants and said,

00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:51.579
 Who is David?

00:01:51.579 --> 00:01:53.719
 And who is this son of Jesse?

00:01:54.219 --> 00:02:00.119
 There are many servants nowadays who break away each one from his master.

00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:07.120
 Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shears and give them

00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.740
 when I do not know where they are from?

00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:13.700
 So David's young men turned on their heels and went back,

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:15.920
 and they came and told all these words.

00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:17.840
 Then David said to his men,

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:20.120
 Every man gird his sword.

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.320
 So every man girded his sword,

00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:24.920
 and David also girded on his sword.

00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:27.600
 And about 400 men went with David,

00:02:27.820 --> 00:02:29.879
 and 200 stayed with the supplies.

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.019
 Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying,

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:38.240
 Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet your master,

00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:39.479
 and he reviled them.

00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:42.120
 But the men were very good to us,

00:02:42.139 --> 00:02:44.319
 and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything,

00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.919
 as long as we accompanied them when we were in the fields.

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:50.740
 They were a wall to us,

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.379
 both by night and day,

00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.079
 all the time we were with them,

00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:55.219
 keeping the sheep.

00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.240
 Now therefore know and consider what you will do.

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.560
 For harm is determined against our master

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.159
 and against all his household,

00:03:04.460 --> 00:03:08.140
 for he is such a scoundrel that no one can speak to him.

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.159
 Then Abigail made haste and took 200 loaves of bread,

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:14.700
 two skins of wine,

00:03:14.980 --> 00:03:16.540
 five sheep already dressed,

00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:19.100
 five sayas of roasted grain,

00:03:19.660 --> 00:03:21.540
 100 clusters of raisins,

00:03:21.540 --> 00:03:24.140
 and 200 cakes of figs,

00:03:24.140 --> 00:03:26.040
 and loaded them on donkeys.

00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.579
 And after she said to her servants,

00:03:29.819 --> 00:03:30.799
 Go on before me,

00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:32.560
 and I am coming after you.

00:03:32.819 --> 00:03:34.879
 But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:37.319
 So it was, as she rode on the donkey,

00:03:37.419 --> 00:03:39.939
 that she went down under cover of the hill,

00:03:40.139 --> 00:03:42.459
 and there were David and his men

00:03:42.459 --> 00:03:44.340
 coming down toward her,

00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:45.739
 and she met them.

00:03:45.740 --> 00:03:48.939
 Now David had said,

00:03:49.219 --> 00:03:51.420
 Surely in vain I have protected

00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:53.659
 all that this fellow has in the wilderness,

00:03:53.659 --> 00:03:55.580
 so that nothing was missing

00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:57.460
 of all that belongs to him,

00:03:57.580 --> 00:04:00.080
 and he has repaid me evil for good.

00:04:01.100 --> 00:04:02.680
 May God do so,

00:04:02.980 --> 00:04:05.379
 and more also to the enemies of David,

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.379
 if I leave one male

00:04:07.379 --> 00:04:10.280
 of all who belong to him by morning light.

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.879
 Now when Abigail saw David,

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.620
 she dismounted quickly from the donkey,

00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.100
 fell on her face before David,

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.019
 and bowed down to the ground.

00:04:19.899 --> 00:04:21.860
 So she fell at his feet and said,

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.660
 On me, my Lord,

00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.379
 on me let this iniquity be.

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.180
 And please let your maidservant

00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:30.319
 speak in your ears,

00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:32.800
 and hear the words of your maidservant.

00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.579
 Please let not my Lord

00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:37.800
 regard this scoundrel Nabal.

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.680
 For as his name is,

00:04:40.060 --> 00:04:40.759
 so is he.

00:04:40.939 --> 00:04:41.920
 Nabal is his name,

00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.199
 and folly is with him.

00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:46.400
 But I, your maidservant,

00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:48.620
 did not see the young men of my Lord,

00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:49.740
 whom you sent.

00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.660
 Now therefore, my Lord,

00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.139
 as the Lord lives,

00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:54.680
 and as your soul lives,

00:04:55.080 --> 00:04:57.900
 since the Lord has held you back

00:04:57.900 --> 00:04:59.240
 from coming to bloodshed,

00:04:59.420 --> 00:05:00.879
 and from avenging yourself

00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:01.900
 with your own hand,

00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:03.879
 now then let your enemies

00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.500
 and those who seek harm

00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:07.480
 for my Lord be as Nabal.

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.500
 And now this present,

00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:11.460
 which your maidservant

00:05:11.460 --> 00:05:12.620
 has brought to my Lord,

00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.139
 let it be given to the young men

00:05:14.139 --> 00:05:15.560
 who follow my Lord.

00:05:16.460 --> 00:05:18.259
 Please forgive the trespass

00:05:18.259 --> 00:05:19.400
 of your maidservant,

00:05:19.900 --> 00:05:21.420
 for the Lord will certainly

00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:24.360
 make my Lord an enduring house,

00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.120
 because my Lord fights

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:27.199
 the battles of the Lord,

00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:29.920
 and evil is not found in you

00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.199
 throughout your days.

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.759
 Yet a man has risen to pursue you.

00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:36.099
 Seek your life,

00:05:36.219 --> 00:05:37.379
 but the life of my Lord

00:05:37.379 --> 00:05:39.500
 shall be bound in the bundle

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:41.639
 of the living with the Lord,

00:05:41.719 --> 00:05:42.240
 your God,

00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:44.019
 and the lives of your enemies.

00:05:44.139 --> 00:05:45.319
 He shall sling out

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.079
 from the pocket of a sling,

00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.360
 and it shall come to pass

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.980
 when the Lord has done

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:52.120
 for my Lord according

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:53.419
 to all the good

00:05:53.419 --> 00:05:55.319
 that he has spoken concerning you,

00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.300
 and has appointed you ruler

00:05:57.300 --> 00:05:58.240
 over Israel,

00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:00.659
 that this will be no grief to you,

00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:02.740
 nor offense of the heart

00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:03.339
 to my Lord,

00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.240
 either that you have shed blood

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.120
 without cause,

00:06:06.339 --> 00:06:07.540
 or that my Lord

00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:08.699
 has avenged himself.

00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:10.079
 But when the Lord

00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.600
 has dealt with my Lord,

00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:13.439
 then remember your maidservant.

00:06:13.980 --> 00:06:15.240
 Then David said to Abigail,

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:17.300
 blessed is the Lord God of Israel

00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:19.219
 who sent you this day

00:06:19.219 --> 00:06:20.319
 to meet me.

00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:22.319
 And blessed is your advice,

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:23.300
 and blessed are you

00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:25.379
 because you have kept me this day

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:26.959
 from coming to bloodshed

00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:28.300
 and avenging myself

00:06:28.300 --> 00:06:29.339
 with my own hand.

00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:31.300
 For indeed,

00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.360
 as the Lord God of Israel lives,

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:34.939
 who has kept me back

00:06:34.939 --> 00:06:35.779
 from hurting you,

00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:37.719
 unless you had hurried

00:06:37.719 --> 00:06:39.079
 and come to meet me,

00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:40.480
 surely by morning light

00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.659
 no males would have been left

00:06:42.659 --> 00:06:43.899
 to Nabal.

00:06:44.659 --> 00:06:47.379
 So David received from her hand

00:06:47.379 --> 00:06:48.579
 what she had brought him

00:06:48.579 --> 00:06:49.600
 and said to her,

00:06:50.180 --> 00:06:52.199
 go up in peace to your house,

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:52.659
 see,

00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:54.659
 I have heeded your voice

00:06:54.659 --> 00:06:57.240
 and respected your person.

00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.279
 So Abigail went to Nabal

00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:01.279
 and there he was

00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.180
 holding a feast in his house

00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:04.600
 like the feast of a king.

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.199
 And Nabal's heart was merry with him

00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.620
 and he was very drunk.

00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:11.120
 Therefore,

00:07:11.219 --> 00:07:12.219
 she told him nothing,

00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:13.139
 little or much,

00:07:13.180 --> 00:07:14.180
 until morning light.

00:07:14.779 --> 00:07:16.019
 So it was in the morning

00:07:16.019 --> 00:07:17.879
 when the wine had gone from Nabal

00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.600
 and his wife had told him

00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:20.920
 these things that his heart

00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.480
 died within him

00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.920
 and he became like a stone.

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.000
 Then it happened

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:28.840
 after about 10 days

00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:31.100
 that the Lord struck Nabal

00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:32.340
 and he died.

00:07:32.339 --> 00:07:35.879
 So when David heard that Nabal was dead,

00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:36.339
 he said,

00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:37.739
 blessed be the Lord

00:07:37.739 --> 00:07:39.979
 who has pleaded the cause

00:07:39.979 --> 00:07:40.979
 of my reproach

00:07:40.979 --> 00:07:42.459
 from the hand of Nabal

00:07:42.459 --> 00:07:44.019
 and has kept his servant

00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:44.679
 from evil.

00:07:44.679 --> 00:07:46.919
 For the Lord has returned

00:07:46.919 --> 00:07:48.799
 the wickedness of Nabal

00:07:48.799 --> 00:07:50.219
 on his own head.

00:07:50.220 --> 00:07:52.940
 And David sent the proposal

00:07:52.940 --> 00:07:53.620
 to Abigail

00:07:53.620 --> 00:07:55.700
 to take her as his wife.

00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:58.560
 When the servants of David

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.680
 had come to Abigail at Carmel,

00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:02.640
 they spoke to her saying,

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.000
 David sent us to you

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.520
 to ask you

00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:07.000
 to become his wife.

00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:08.600
 Then she arose,

00:08:09.320 --> 00:08:10.620
 bowed her face to the earth

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:11.260
 and said,

00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.180
 here is your maidservant,

00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:15.460
 a servant to wash the feet

00:08:15.460 --> 00:08:17.220
 of the servants of my Lord.

00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:20.620
 So Abigail rose in haste

00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:21.820
 and rode on a donkey

00:08:21.820 --> 00:08:23.460
 attended by five of her maidens.

00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:24.580
 And she followed

00:08:24.580 --> 00:08:25.800
 the messengers of David

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.740
 and became his wife.

00:08:29.020 --> 00:08:32.440
 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel.

00:08:32.980 --> 00:08:34.040
 And so both of them

00:08:34.040 --> 00:08:35.019
 were his wives.

00:08:35.860 --> 00:08:37.700
 But Saul had given Michal,

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:38.379
 his daughter,

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.300
 David's wife to Palti,

00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:41.920
 the son of Laish,

00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:44.100
 who is from Gallim.

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:45.899
 The word of God

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:46.879
 for the people of God.

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:48.899
 Thanks be to God.

00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:49.639
 Please be seated.

00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:03.460
 Let's pray.

00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:11.540
 Lord, we ask that by your power,

00:09:11.660 --> 00:09:13.000
 your word will be like a mirror.

00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.600
 Your word will cause us

00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:16.620
 to see who we are

00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:17.379
 before you,

00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:18.500
 God our creator

00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:19.419
 and our great need

00:09:19.419 --> 00:09:20.460
 for Jesus Christ.

00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:22.220
 We ask, Lord,

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.080
 that your Holy Spirit

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.519
 will take the word of God,

00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:26.639
 the sword of the Spirit,

00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:28.759
 and pierce into our souls

00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.200
 and do the work

00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:31.240
 of a surgeon, Lord.

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:32.779
 Whatever needs done

00:09:32.779 --> 00:09:33.820
 according to your will

00:09:33.820 --> 00:09:35.299
 in each of our lives,

00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:36.259
 that you will apply

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:37.960
 your truth with power

00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.320
 to our hearts

00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.220
 in a way that only

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:41.800
 you can do.

00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:43.879
 We ask this for Christ's sake

00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:44.820
 and for your glory.

00:09:45.340 --> 00:09:45.720
 Amen.

00:09:49.800 --> 00:09:51.020
 Well, we live in a very

00:09:51.020 --> 00:09:52.040
 messed up world,

00:09:52.160 --> 00:09:52.520
 don't we?

00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.519
 This world

00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.519
 of first Sam of 25

00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:57.679
 was very messed up

00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:58.620
 in many ways.

00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:02.120
 We know that

00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.419
 the natural law,

00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:04.600
 the law that God has put

00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.659
 on all of his image bearers,

00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:08.579
 it causes us to react

00:10:08.579 --> 00:10:09.879
 when things are not right.

00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:12.319
 So let me ask you this question,

00:10:12.419 --> 00:10:13.759
 which has made your blood

00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.539
 boil recently?

00:10:15.539 --> 00:10:17.959
 Injustice,

00:10:18.839 --> 00:10:19.259
 pride,

00:10:20.419 --> 00:10:20.819
 greed,

00:10:21.339 --> 00:10:23.199
 people trying to act

00:10:23.199 --> 00:10:24.740
 as a king or queen

00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:25.779
 of their little fiefdom

00:10:25.779 --> 00:10:28.099
 or retaliation.

00:10:30.079 --> 00:10:31.079
 Well, we're going to get

00:10:31.079 --> 00:10:32.079
 all of these and more

00:10:32.079 --> 00:10:33.459
 in the verses

00:10:33.459 --> 00:10:34.959
 that we have today.

00:10:35.319 --> 00:10:36.539
 1 Samuel 25.

00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:38.519
 And these are

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.039
 a dark backdrop

00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:41.639
 that only expose

00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:42.419
 the glory,

00:10:42.599 --> 00:10:43.099
 the diamond

00:10:43.099 --> 00:10:44.139
 of the gospel

00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:45.079
 of Jesus Christ

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.840
 all the brighter.

00:10:48.020 --> 00:10:49.560
 The purpose of this chapter

00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:51.379
 is to cause us

00:10:51.379 --> 00:10:52.820
 to not look to this world

00:10:52.820 --> 00:10:54.759
 or to put our hope in man,

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:56.639
 but to elevate our thoughts

00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:57.860
 by faith in the kingdom

00:10:57.860 --> 00:10:59.320
 of Jesus Christ.

00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:01.280
 So the sermon title

00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:02.080
 for today is

00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:02.600
 A Kingdom

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.100
 Not Built on Blood.

00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:06.520
 I believe this is

00:11:06.520 --> 00:11:08.220
 one of the great revelations

00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:08.800
 for us

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:09.860
 of the coming kingdom

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:10.920
 of Jesus Christ,

00:11:11.400 --> 00:11:11.980
 a kingdom

00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:13.400
 not built

00:11:13.400 --> 00:11:14.540
 on blood.

00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.220
 Let's begin

00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:18.500
 by observing

00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:20.520
 the first set

00:11:20.520 --> 00:11:20.920
 of verses,

00:11:21.060 --> 00:11:22.200
 verses 1 through 9.

00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:25.040
 When we talk

00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:25.600
 of the kingdom

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:26.259
 of God

00:11:26.259 --> 00:11:26.879
 coming

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:27.920
 to earth,

00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:29.240
 we see this

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.440
 prefigured in some ways

00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:31.960
 with this wilderness kingdom

00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:33.420
 that God has set up

00:11:33.420 --> 00:11:34.160
 with David.

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:35.900
 While they're poor,

00:11:36.400 --> 00:11:37.480
 while they don't have food

00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:38.780
 to feed this army,

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.460
 this first observation

00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:42.360
 I want to bring to you

00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:43.300
 is that resources

00:11:43.300 --> 00:11:44.720
 are not the problem.

00:11:46.300 --> 00:11:47.000
 In the coming

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:47.600
 of the kingdom,

00:11:48.019 --> 00:11:49.399
 resources are not

00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:50.080
 the problem.

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:51.440
 Look at verse 1.

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:53.019
 Then Samuel died,

00:11:54.019 --> 00:11:54.899
 and the Israelites

00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:56.000
 gathered together

00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.120
 and lamented for him

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.700
 and buried him

00:11:58.700 --> 00:11:59.860
 at his home

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:00.980
 in Ramah.

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.680
 Remember,

00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:04.039
 Ramah was to the north

00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:04.759
 and east,

00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.220
 and David

00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:06.840
 has been hiding

00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:07.620
 out in the deep

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:09.279
 south of Judah.

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:10.659
 We're told

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:11.259
 that Israel

00:12:11.259 --> 00:12:11.899
 gathered

00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:13.700
 and lamented

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:15.439
 and mourned

00:12:15.439 --> 00:12:16.059
 the death

00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:16.659
 of Samuel.

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:19.059
 We're not told

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:19.679
 explicitly

00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:20.419
 whether David

00:12:20.419 --> 00:12:20.899
 is there

00:12:20.899 --> 00:12:21.360
 or Saul

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:21.779
 is there,

00:12:22.220 --> 00:12:23.299
 but Israel

00:12:23.299 --> 00:12:24.419
 is represented.

00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:26.039
 And we are told

00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:26.519
 that next,

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:27.480
 David arose.

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:29.420
 So we get the sense

00:12:29.420 --> 00:12:30.259
 even if he's not

00:12:30.259 --> 00:12:31.379
 right next to Saul

00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:31.940
 or the action,

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:33.259
 he's part of this

00:12:33.259 --> 00:12:34.440
 lamenting corporately

00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:35.200
 with the nation.

00:12:36.060 --> 00:12:37.080
 The death of Samuel,

00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:37.539
 the man

00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:39.100
 who God used

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:40.379
 to anoint kings.

00:12:41.139 --> 00:12:41.680
 We call him

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:42.420
 a king maker,

00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:43.779
 the one who God

00:12:43.779 --> 00:12:44.899
 would use to Messiah,

00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:46.159
 the next ruler

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:47.220
 of God's own people.

00:12:48.019 --> 00:12:49.200
 And he was the last judge.

00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:50.320
 He was this transitional

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:51.420
 figure

00:12:51.420 --> 00:12:53.080
 leading into the monarchy.

00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:55.720
 And even though

00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:56.620
 they're up in the mountains

00:12:56.620 --> 00:12:57.280
 of Ramah

00:12:57.280 --> 00:12:58.759
 where Samuel lived

00:12:58.759 --> 00:12:59.720
 and the school

00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.360
 of the prophets

00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:01.500
 was the last scene

00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:02.840
 where we saw Samuel,

00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:04.440
 we're told

00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:05.700
 David then arose.

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:08.180
 So even if he's

00:13:08.180 --> 00:13:09.080
 in the mountaintops,

00:13:09.180 --> 00:13:10.040
 his soul

00:13:10.040 --> 00:13:10.740
 and his spirit

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:11.280
 is low.

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:13.600
 He has to get up

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.320
 in order to travel.

00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:16.639
 And he goes back

00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.160
 to the deep south.

00:13:19.140 --> 00:13:20.200
 Some translations

00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:21.500
 combine these words,

00:13:21.640 --> 00:13:22.700
 the name of the village,

00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:23.600
 which is Maon,

00:13:24.640 --> 00:13:25.080
 and the name

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:25.700
 of the region,

00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:26.200
 the desert,

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.180
 which is Paran.

00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:29.660
 Paran is a large

00:13:29.660 --> 00:13:30.640
 desert region

00:13:30.640 --> 00:13:32.100
 much further south.

00:13:32.640 --> 00:13:33.379
 But sometimes

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:34.460
 the name of that region

00:13:34.460 --> 00:13:35.020
 would be used

00:13:35.020 --> 00:13:35.700
 to describe

00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:36.879
 that entire

00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.000
 southern desert

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.000
 starting from

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.280
 just a few miles

00:13:40.280 --> 00:13:41.860
 south of Maon,

00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:42.560
 the village.

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:44.060
 In verse 2 we read,

00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:45.140
 there was a man

00:13:45.140 --> 00:13:46.140
 in Maon

00:13:46.140 --> 00:13:47.420
 whose business

00:13:47.420 --> 00:13:48.600
 was in Carmel.

00:13:49.580 --> 00:13:50.300
 These two towns

00:13:50.300 --> 00:13:51.160
 were very close

00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:52.060
 to one another,

00:13:52.059 --> 00:13:52.959
 just about a mile

00:13:52.959 --> 00:13:53.319
 away.

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.839
 So it makes sense.

00:13:54.939 --> 00:13:55.659
 You have your home

00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:56.199
 and your household

00:13:56.199 --> 00:13:57.000
 and you live here,

00:13:57.119 --> 00:13:57.959
 but you have these

00:13:57.959 --> 00:13:59.319
 wonderful fields

00:13:59.319 --> 00:14:00.019
 that are fertile

00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:01.019
 and rugged,

00:14:01.119 --> 00:14:01.659
 a great place

00:14:01.659 --> 00:14:02.279
 to keep your

00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:03.519
 massive herds

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.059
 of sheep

00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:05.019
 and goats

00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:06.219
 in the nearby town

00:14:06.219 --> 00:14:07.319
 of Carmel.

00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.580
 We're told.

00:14:08.580 --> 00:14:09.100
 We're told the man

00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:09.940
 was very rich

00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:10.980
 and he had

00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:12.320
 3,000 sheep

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.160
 and 1,000 goats

00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:15.760
 and he was

00:14:15.760 --> 00:14:16.840
 shearing his sheep

00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.340
 in the town

00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:19.120
 where his business

00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:19.680
 was.

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:21.260
 It's called Carmel.

00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:22.500
 It's not Mount Carmel

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:23.879
 from other famous stories,

00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:25.340
 but it is an important

00:14:25.340 --> 00:14:26.500
 hub in southern

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:27.200
 part of Israel

00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.640
 in Judah

00:14:27.640 --> 00:14:29.700
 and it's the same

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:30.320
 town

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.020
 as 1 Samuel 15

00:14:32.020 --> 00:14:33.660
 where King Saul

00:14:33.660 --> 00:14:34.940
 built a monument

00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:35.920
 for himself.

00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:36.419
 Do you remember

00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:37.000
 that story?

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:39.019
 God gives a great victory

00:14:39.019 --> 00:14:40.099
 and Saul

00:14:40.099 --> 00:14:41.159
 takes the credit

00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:41.799
 and the glory

00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:42.699
 for God's victory

00:14:42.699 --> 00:14:43.779
 by building a monument

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:44.740
 for himself

00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:46.659
 in this very same town

00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:48.179
 marking out

00:14:48.179 --> 00:14:49.339
 his kingdom

00:14:49.339 --> 00:14:51.139
 and trying to preserve

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:51.779
 his name.

00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:54.519
 So if you are

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.419
 this man,

00:14:55.579 --> 00:14:55.899
 Nabal

00:14:55.899 --> 00:14:57.019
 and his whole household,

00:14:57.439 --> 00:14:58.279
 every day

00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.620
 you have that visual

00:14:59.620 --> 00:15:00.240
 reminder

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.799
 Saul is king.

00:15:02.719 --> 00:15:03.199
 You could say

00:15:03.199 --> 00:15:04.079
 he's like the patron

00:15:04.079 --> 00:15:05.099
 of this town

00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:06.820
 if we're thriving

00:15:06.820 --> 00:15:07.600
 in our agriculture

00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:08.840
 and we think like pagans,

00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:10.580
 we give glory to Saul

00:15:10.580 --> 00:15:12.279
 for our success here.

00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:12.840
 He's the one

00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:13.620
 with the monument.

00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:16.040
 This town

00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:16.580
 most likely

00:15:16.580 --> 00:15:17.840
 supported Saul's kingdom

00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:19.659
 and he could use

00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:20.379
 his army,

00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:21.200
 the army of Israel

00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:22.500
 to protect their businesses

00:15:22.500 --> 00:15:24.440
 and keep the enemies away.

00:15:25.860 --> 00:15:27.080
 It was most likely

00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:28.720
 a win-win relationship.

00:15:29.660 --> 00:15:30.720
 And this fool

00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:31.620
 that lived there,

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:32.759
 his name was Nabal,

00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:33.940
 which means exactly that,

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:34.279
 fool.

00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:35.800
 I don't know

00:15:35.800 --> 00:15:36.540
 what kind of parents

00:15:36.540 --> 00:15:37.500
 named their children that.

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:38.580
 We don't recommend that.

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:40.420
 But this was his name.

00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:42.360
 And the name of his wife

00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:43.100
 was Abigail.

00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:45.500
 Abigail has a very

00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:46.560
 significant meaning

00:15:46.560 --> 00:15:47.120
 as well.

00:15:48.300 --> 00:15:48.940
 It can mean

00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:49.920
 either the joy

00:15:49.920 --> 00:15:50.899
 of her father

00:15:50.899 --> 00:15:52.040
 or

00:15:52.040 --> 00:15:53.560
 she rejoices

00:15:53.560 --> 00:15:54.379
 with her father.

00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:55.340
 It's the word

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:56.240
 father and joy

00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:56.899
 put together.

00:15:56.899 --> 00:15:59.459
 And she was a woman

00:15:59.459 --> 00:16:00.659
 of good understanding,

00:16:00.779 --> 00:16:01.159
 we're told,

00:16:01.259 --> 00:16:02.579
 and beautiful appearance.

00:16:02.779 --> 00:16:03.959
 But the man was harsh

00:16:03.959 --> 00:16:05.199
 and evil

00:16:05.199 --> 00:16:06.220
 in his doings.

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:07.899
 We have a sharp contrast

00:16:07.899 --> 00:16:08.980
 set up.

00:16:09.220 --> 00:16:10.399
 It's a divided household,

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:12.279
 husband and wife.

00:16:12.959 --> 00:16:14.199
 One is the opposite

00:16:14.199 --> 00:16:14.980
 of the other.

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:16.939
 We're told he was

00:16:16.939 --> 00:16:17.600
 of the house

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.279
 of Caleb.

00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:20.439
 Caleb was

00:16:20.439 --> 00:16:21.759
 in the southern region

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.360
 absorbed into Judah.

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.419
 we're not told

00:16:26.419 --> 00:16:27.680
 much more about this man,

00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:28.720
 but the word Caleb

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.100
 in Hebrew

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:31.039
 sounds a lot like

00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:32.120
 the word for dog.

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:34.120
 And so even in just

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.060
 the first three verses,

00:16:35.060 --> 00:16:35.820
 we have quite

00:16:35.820 --> 00:16:37.159
 a lot of information

00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:38.000
 about Nabal.

00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:40.019
 Verse four tells us,

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:41.000
 when David heard

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.300
 in the wilderness

00:16:42.300 --> 00:16:43.039
 that Nabal

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:44.279
 was shearing his sheep,

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:45.600
 David sent

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.399
 his young men

00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:47.840
 and they said to them,

00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.000
 go up to Carmel,

00:16:49.139 --> 00:16:49.720
 go to Nabal,

00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:50.800
 greet him in my name.

00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:52.060
 And verse six,

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.340
 thus you shall say to him,

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.300
 who lives in prosperity.

00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:58.120
 Shalom be to you.

00:16:58.720 --> 00:16:59.860
 Shalom to your house.

00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:01.560
 Shalom to all

00:17:01.560 --> 00:17:02.560
 that you have.

00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:05.200
 David comes bringing

00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:05.740
 shalom,

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.799
 bringing peace.

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:08.579
 It's the greeting

00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:09.660
 that Jonathan,

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:10.680
 the blessing Jonathan

00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:11.319
 gave David.

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:12.579
 He's passing this on

00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:13.620
 to this man

00:17:13.620 --> 00:17:14.720
 whom God has blessed.

00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:16.960
 In verse seven,

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.000
 he begins his request.

00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:19.440
 He says,

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:20.200
 I have heard

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:21.940
 that you have shears.

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:23.900
 This is something

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:24.700
 that doesn't mean

00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:25.420
 a lot to us

00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:26.160
 who buy our clothes

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:27.059
 with a few clicks

00:17:27.059 --> 00:17:27.600
 on a phone.

00:17:28.019 --> 00:17:28.640
 We have no idea

00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:29.779
 where the fabric

00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:30.480
 comes from.

00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:31.880
 But in the ancient

00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:32.500
 Near East,

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.259
 shearing season

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:36.140
 was like harvest time

00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:37.259
 for those who owned

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:37.759
 flocks.

00:17:38.420 --> 00:17:39.200
 It was a time

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.259
 to cash in

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:41.100
 your investment.

00:17:42.100 --> 00:17:43.519
 You get to liquidate

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.279
 your assets

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.140
 when it's

00:17:45.140 --> 00:17:46.120
 shearing season.

00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:47.500
 Think about that.

00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:47.960
 Here's your,

00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:49.180
 here's your walking

00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:49.860
 bank account.

00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:51.480
 These 3,000 sheep

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.539
 and goats.

00:17:53.060 --> 00:17:54.039
 1,000 goats.

00:17:55.100 --> 00:17:55.860
 You fed them.

00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:56.880
 You've cared for them.

00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:57.900
 You've protected them.

00:17:58.360 --> 00:17:59.279
 And as you're doing that,

00:17:59.360 --> 00:17:59.880
 their wool

00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:01.060
 is slowly growing

00:18:01.060 --> 00:18:01.779
 little by little

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:02.680
 each day.

00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:04.140
 So when you harvest

00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:04.660
 the wool,

00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:06.259
 you are raking in

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:07.640
 that investment.

00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:09.539
 And it was customary

00:18:09.539 --> 00:18:10.100
 just like

00:18:10.100 --> 00:18:11.259
 the first fruits

00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:12.100
 of a great harvest

00:18:12.100 --> 00:18:12.860
 if you're a farmer.

00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:14.340
 It was customary

00:18:14.340 --> 00:18:15.740
 for those who own flocks

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:17.519
 to bring in the shears

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:18.440
 and celebrate

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:19.579
 God's provision.

00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:20.500
 It was a time

00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:21.299
 of abundance.

00:18:21.940 --> 00:18:22.819
 David even referred

00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:23.680
 to him as a man

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:24.799
 who lives in prosperity.

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:26.599
 And you're to thank

00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:27.960
 those who helped

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.279
 make this great harvest

00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:29.700
 happen.

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:31.220
 It was a time

00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:31.960
 of generosity,

00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:33.139
 celebration,

00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:34.799
 and gratitude.

00:18:35.619 --> 00:18:36.639
 If you were traveling

00:18:36.639 --> 00:18:37.519
 through or if you were

00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:37.879
 poor,

00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:39.680
 you also had rights

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:40.879
 in the kingdom of God

00:18:40.879 --> 00:18:42.460
 protected by the civil law

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:43.480
 to glean,

00:18:43.980 --> 00:18:45.139
 to take some

00:18:45.139 --> 00:18:46.079
 that you would need

00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:46.700
 to survive.

00:18:46.700 --> 00:18:47.799
 This was one

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:48.640
 of God's mercies

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:49.680
 through his civil law.

00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:51.660
 And so,

00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.100
 if your shepherds

00:18:53.100 --> 00:18:54.100
 were in charge

00:18:54.100 --> 00:18:54.920
 of these flocks,

00:18:55.860 --> 00:18:57.059
 and here David's men

00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:58.360
 are watching over them

00:18:58.360 --> 00:18:59.019
 day and night,

00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:00.940
 they were contributing

00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:01.840
 to the success

00:19:01.840 --> 00:19:02.620
 of this great

00:19:02.620 --> 00:19:04.660
 sheathing feast.

00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:08.039
 We're told in verse 7,

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:08.819
 David asks,

00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:10.299
 there was nothing

00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:11.180
 missing from them

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:12.039
 while they were in Carmel.

00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:13.279
 See,

00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:14.140
 we were in a position

00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:14.580
 of power.

00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:15.220
 We could have easily

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:16.240
 just taken some

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:17.380
 and fed ourselves,

00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:18.319
 but we're doing this

00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:19.539
 in a customary,

00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:20.519
 proper way.

00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:21.339
 We're coming

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:22.240
 and asking you

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.120
 as the head

00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:23.779
 of the household

00:19:23.779 --> 00:19:26.440
 to feed these poor servants

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.620
 who also contributed

00:19:27.620 --> 00:19:28.740
 to preserving

00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:29.519
 your assets.

00:19:30.579 --> 00:19:31.000
 In verse 8,

00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:31.299
 he says,

00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:32.140
 ask your young men

00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:32.920
 and they will tell you.

00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:33.799
 We were here

00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:34.460
 taking care.

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:35.519
 Therefore,

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.480
 let my young men

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.799
 find favor in your eyes,

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:39.099
 for we come

00:19:39.099 --> 00:19:40.900
 on a feast day.

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:43.180
 David's reminding Nabal,

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:44.220
 we were patient.

00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:46.720
 We waited for the

00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:47.860
 appropriate time

00:19:47.860 --> 00:19:48.940
 to make this request.

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:50.660
 And even the request

00:19:50.660 --> 00:19:51.400
 is very modest.

00:19:51.539 --> 00:19:51.840
 He says,

00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:52.860
 please give whatever

00:19:52.860 --> 00:19:54.240
 comes to your hand.

00:19:55.840 --> 00:19:57.120
 Anything you can find,

00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.600
 he's saying,

00:19:58.019 --> 00:19:58.820
 to your servants

00:19:58.820 --> 00:19:59.840
 and to your son,

00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:00.420
 David.

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:01.340
 He's putting himself

00:20:01.340 --> 00:20:02.660
 below Nabal

00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:03.519
 at his mercy.

00:20:04.600 --> 00:20:05.299
 Verse 9,

00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:06.960
 so when David's men came,

00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:08.200
 they spoke to Nabal

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.880
 according to all these words

00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:11.000
 in the name of David

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:12.160
 and waited.

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:15.119
 It seems like the problem

00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:16.240
 for the kingdom

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:16.839
 in the wilderness

00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:17.859
 is resources,

00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:18.460
 doesn't it?

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.619
 They don't have

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:21.980
 the basic supply

00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:23.279
 to feed the army

00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:24.339
 and to keep going.

00:20:25.259 --> 00:20:26.519
 It'd be very easy

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:27.359
 from that position

00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:28.680
 of worldly weakness

00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:29.339
 to covet

00:20:29.339 --> 00:20:31.339
 what is seemingly

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:32.000
 in abundance

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:32.740
 in the world

00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:34.720
 and to think

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:35.920
 if only we had

00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:36.599
 this,

00:20:37.380 --> 00:20:37.900
 then we could

00:20:37.900 --> 00:20:38.680
 really advance

00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:39.140
 the kingdom.

00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:41.420
 If only God

00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:42.300
 would put some

00:20:42.300 --> 00:20:43.420
 of that into our hands,

00:20:43.800 --> 00:20:44.520
 we could steward

00:20:44.520 --> 00:20:45.300
 his so much better.

00:20:46.540 --> 00:20:47.360
 And by doing that,

00:20:47.420 --> 00:20:47.920
 we're believing

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:49.160
 something false,

00:20:49.620 --> 00:20:50.680
 that resources

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.360
 are the real problem.

00:20:53.580 --> 00:20:54.240
 God's kingdom

00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:54.860
 is a kingdom

00:20:54.860 --> 00:20:55.780
 of abundance.

00:20:56.600 --> 00:20:57.259
 He owns

00:20:57.259 --> 00:20:57.900
 all the cattle

00:20:57.900 --> 00:20:59.060
 on a thousand hills,

00:20:59.180 --> 00:21:00.620
 which is poetic language

00:21:00.620 --> 00:21:01.140
 to say

00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:02.480
 God owns everything.

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:03.580
 Resources

00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:04.320
 are never

00:21:04.320 --> 00:21:05.300
 the problem

00:21:05.300 --> 00:21:06.520
 in God's kingdom.

00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.119
 second observation.

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:11.299
 And I'll give you

00:21:11.299 --> 00:21:12.079
 the second and third

00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:13.059
 back to back.

00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:14.460
 Second is this,

00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:15.279
 that it's what

00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:15.920
 the proud

00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:17.220
 in heart deserve.

00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:18.660
 We get a picture

00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:19.319
 of that next.

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:20.000
 What did the proud

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:20.779
 in heart deserve?

00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:21.940
 But then right after

00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:22.579
 that we get

00:21:22.579 --> 00:21:23.660
 what the proud

00:21:23.660 --> 00:21:24.819
 do not deserve.

00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.400
 So listen for those two.

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:27.279
 First,

00:21:27.379 --> 00:21:28.139
 here's what the proud

00:21:28.139 --> 00:21:28.940
 in heart deserve,

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:29.960
 starting at verse 10.

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:31.299
 Then Nabal

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:32.839
 answered David's servants

00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:33.440
 and said,

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:35.700
 who is David?

00:21:36.259 --> 00:21:37.039
 And who is

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.160
 this son of Jesse?

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:39.900
 That's Nabal's

00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:40.480
 way of saying,

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:41.299
 David,

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:42.000
 your master

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.860
 is a nobody.

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:44.680
 He says,

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.259
 there are many

00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:46.120
 servants nowadays

00:21:46.120 --> 00:21:47.180
 who break away

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:48.900
 each from his master.

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:51.080
 He's calling David

00:21:51.080 --> 00:21:52.080
 a common

00:21:52.080 --> 00:21:53.680
 runaway slave.

00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:56.279
 He says,

00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:56.680
 Saul

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:57.660
 is David's

00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:58.340
 real master.

00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:00.220
 And you are not

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:01.120
 a man of integrity,

00:22:01.299 --> 00:22:01.460
 David.

00:22:01.580 --> 00:22:02.400
 You're disloyal

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:02.960
 to Saul.

00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:05.279
 Why do you expect

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:06.660
 special treatment

00:22:06.660 --> 00:22:07.660
 from me?

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:08.779
 That's what Nabal

00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:09.180
 is saying.

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:10.980
 Verse 11,

00:22:11.100 --> 00:22:11.759
 shall I then

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.820
 take my bread

00:22:12.820 --> 00:22:14.240
 and my water

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:15.539
 and my meat

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:16.920
 that I have killed

00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.940
 for my shears

00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:19.440
 and give it to men

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.220
 who I do not know

00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:22.500
 where they are from?

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:24.240
 Remember,

00:22:24.320 --> 00:22:24.920
 he's in Judah.

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:26.759
 David has

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:28.400
 this vast army,

00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:29.580
 600 men

00:22:29.580 --> 00:22:30.320
 who have been

00:22:30.320 --> 00:22:31.320
 all around Judah.

00:22:31.320 --> 00:22:32.279
 And the servants

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:33.180
 in Nabal's household

00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:34.340
 they know very well

00:22:34.340 --> 00:22:34.820
 who David

00:22:34.820 --> 00:22:36.259
 and his men are.

00:22:36.900 --> 00:22:37.759
 And so does Abigail.

00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:39.539
 I think these words

00:22:39.539 --> 00:22:40.580
 are disingenuous.

00:22:41.100 --> 00:22:42.080
 I think it's a slap

00:22:42.080 --> 00:22:42.740
 in the face.

00:22:44.259 --> 00:22:44.759
 And here we have

00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:45.860
 a wonderful illustration

00:22:45.860 --> 00:22:48.039
 of what we read

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.700
 in the Proverbs.

00:22:48.860 --> 00:22:49.680
 And as I studied

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.400
 various Proverbs,

00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:51.759
 I just started to see

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.320
 Proverbs 11

00:22:53.320 --> 00:22:54.920
 captures this whole chapter.

00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:56.140
 So I'm going to give you

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:57.160
 many snippets

00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:58.340
 from Proverbs 11.

00:22:58.339 --> 00:22:59.439
 And this is just

00:22:59.439 --> 00:23:00.199
 such an illustration

00:23:00.199 --> 00:23:01.339
 of these truths.

00:23:01.899 --> 00:23:03.500
 Proverbs 11 verse 9 says,

00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:04.720
 With his mouth,

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:06.299
 the godless man,

00:23:06.419 --> 00:23:06.679
 Nabal,

00:23:06.859 --> 00:23:08.379
 would destroy his neighbor.

00:23:08.879 --> 00:23:09.819
 But by knowledge,

00:23:09.919 --> 00:23:10.399
 the righteous

00:23:10.399 --> 00:23:11.659
 are delivered.

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:13.419
 Whoever belittles

00:23:13.419 --> 00:23:14.019
 his neighbor

00:23:14.019 --> 00:23:15.480
 lacks sense.

00:23:15.939 --> 00:23:17.159
 But a man of understanding

00:23:17.159 --> 00:23:18.119
 remains silent.

00:23:19.019 --> 00:23:20.119
 Can't you almost hear

00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:21.279
 Nabal's servants

00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:22.179
 and all the household

00:23:22.179 --> 00:23:23.319
 embarrassed for him?

00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.159
 He's mocking this man

00:23:26.159 --> 00:23:27.240
 who everyone knows

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:29.299
 he may be the next

00:23:29.299 --> 00:23:30.039
 king of Israel

00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:31.700
 if God's promises

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:32.339
 come true.

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:34.439
 In verse 12,

00:23:34.679 --> 00:23:35.240
 we're told,

00:23:35.439 --> 00:23:36.339
 So David's young men

00:23:36.339 --> 00:23:37.439
 turned on their heels

00:23:37.439 --> 00:23:38.579
 and went back.

00:23:39.099 --> 00:23:39.859
 This is the language

00:23:39.859 --> 00:23:41.480
 for when an army retreats.

00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:42.039
 Quick,

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:43.000
 get out of here.

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:43.939
 We are not welcome.

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.939
 And they came

00:23:45.939 --> 00:23:46.700
 and told David

00:23:46.700 --> 00:23:47.460
 all these words.

00:23:47.679 --> 00:23:48.220
 Verse 13,

00:23:48.299 --> 00:23:49.319
 Then David said to them,

00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:51.439
 Every man

00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:54.100
 gird on his sword.

00:23:55.420 --> 00:23:56.680
 Take up your weapon,

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:58.420
 strap it onto your belt,

00:23:58.740 --> 00:24:00.220
 and march after me.

00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:03.620
 Proverbs 11, 11,

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:04.460
 By the blessing

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:05.620
 of the upright,

00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:07.000
 a city is exalted,

00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:08.320
 but by the mouth

00:24:08.320 --> 00:24:09.059
 of the wicked,

00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:10.820
 it is overthrown.

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:12.960
 The mouth of wicked Nabal

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:13.680
 going off

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:15.059
 is going to overthrow

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:16.360
 his entire household.

00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.620
 A man who is kind

00:24:19.620 --> 00:24:20.740
 benefits himself,

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:21.720
 but a cruel man

00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:22.500
 hurts himself.

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:24.859
 And so we keep reading

00:24:24.859 --> 00:24:25.599
 that every man

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.420
 girded his sword

00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:27.140
 and David also

00:24:27.140 --> 00:24:28.240
 girded on his sword.

00:24:28.660 --> 00:24:29.960
 About 400 men

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:30.660
 went with David

00:24:30.660 --> 00:24:31.319
 and 200

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:33.160
 stayed with the supplies.

00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:34.079
 Verse 14,

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:35.660
 Now one of the young men

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:36.599
 told Abigail,

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:38.599
 Nabal's wife.

00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:41.640
 This servant

00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:42.299
 knows something.

00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.640
 He knows that

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:44.940
 she is wise.

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:46.359
 She is of understanding.

00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:47.960
 She can be trusted.

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:50.079
 We are told that

00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:50.900
 no one could talk

00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:51.519
 to Nabal.

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:52.799
 So this might have been

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.640
 the path they are used

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:54.140
 to taking.

00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:55.380
 When Nabal is

00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:57.039
 lacking common sense

00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:57.519
 and going to do

00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:58.500
 something very foolish

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:59.079
 that is going to hurt

00:24:59.079 --> 00:24:59.579
 all of us,

00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:00.660
 go to Abigail.

00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:02.120
 It seems like she is

00:25:02.120 --> 00:25:02.940
 accustomed

00:25:02.940 --> 00:25:05.920
 to having to step in

00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:08.660
 and serve the greater cause

00:25:08.660 --> 00:25:09.920
 with such a husband.

00:25:11.340 --> 00:25:12.380
 Verse 15,

00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:14.299
 After she finds out

00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:15.319
 that these messengers

00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:15.859
 of David

00:25:15.859 --> 00:25:16.819
 were reviled.

00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:18.159
 Some translations say

00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:19.200
 Nabal yelled at them.

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.579
 Then the servant

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:23.419
 bears good witness.

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:23.899
 He says,

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:25.680
 The men were very good to us.

00:25:25.919 --> 00:25:26.720
 We were not hurt

00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:27.899
 nor did we miss anything

00:25:27.899 --> 00:25:30.339
 as long as we accompanied them.

00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:31.740
 He is saying

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:33.419
 what they reported is true.

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:34.779
 We could have easily

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:35.639
 been picked off.

00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:36.839
 We could have lost so much.

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:38.319
 We knew to stick with David

00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:38.839
 and his men.

00:25:38.919 --> 00:25:40.339
 They were like a wall to us.

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:42.159
 Now verse 17,

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:42.980
 Now therefore,

00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:44.920
 no one consider Abigail,

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:45.960
 says the servant,

00:25:46.080 --> 00:25:46.900
 what you will do.

00:25:47.560 --> 00:25:49.040
 For harm is determined

00:25:49.040 --> 00:25:50.759
 against our master

00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:52.860
 and against all his household,

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:54.100
 including you and me.

00:25:55.300 --> 00:25:57.000
 For he is such a scoundrel

00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:58.440
 that no one can speak to him.

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.180
 Proverbs 11, 2,

00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:01.800
 When pride comes,

00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:04.259
 then comes disgrace.

00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:06.620
 But with the humble

00:26:06.620 --> 00:26:07.820
 is wisdom.

00:26:08.860 --> 00:26:09.720
 And we get to see

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:11.620
 the wisdom of Abigail.

00:26:12.820 --> 00:26:14.320
 The stage is set for us.

00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:16.580
 Nabal has been a fool.

00:26:17.580 --> 00:26:18.580
 And he's about to get

00:26:18.580 --> 00:26:20.300
 exactly what the proud

00:26:20.300 --> 00:26:21.540
 in heart deserve.

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.460
 He's about to have

00:26:23.460 --> 00:26:25.500
 400 men with their swords

00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:26.320
 coming through,

00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:29.060
 slicing and wiping out

00:26:29.060 --> 00:26:31.220
 any remnant of his household.

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:32.940
 Anyone who could oppose David.

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:34.540
 And what he wouldn't give,

00:26:34.580 --> 00:26:36.120
 even a small thing,

00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:37.140
 graciously,

00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:38.540
 David is about to come

00:26:38.540 --> 00:26:39.519
 and take by force.

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:42.339
 That's what the proud

00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:43.680
 in heart deserve.

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:44.859
 It's justice.

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:47.660
 But look at what the proud

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:49.440
 do not deserve.

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:51.559
 And this is what they get

00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:52.639
 because of Abigail.

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:55.099
 In verse 18,

00:26:55.180 --> 00:26:56.119
 Abigail made haste

00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:58.019
 and took 200 loaves of bread,

00:26:58.459 --> 00:26:59.379
 two skins of wine,

00:26:59.919 --> 00:27:01.479
 five sheep already dressed,

00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:03.539
 five sayas of roasted grain,

00:27:03.699 --> 00:27:05.479
 100 clusters of raisins,

00:27:05.979 --> 00:27:07.459
 200 cakes of figs,

00:27:07.459 --> 00:27:09.059
 and loaded them on donkeys.

00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:10.739
 And she said to her servants,

00:27:11.199 --> 00:27:12.199
 Go on before me.

00:27:12.699 --> 00:27:14.359
 See, I am coming after you.

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:15.500
 Do you remember

00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:16.959
 when David had his 400 men,

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.159
 he's going out in front.

00:27:18.299 --> 00:27:19.379
 He's leading the charge.

00:27:19.539 --> 00:27:20.959
 And the 400 are marching

00:27:20.959 --> 00:27:22.399
 in line behind him.

00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:23.540
 For Abigail,

00:27:23.800 --> 00:27:24.500
 it's inverted.

00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:26.100
 She's sending these gifts

00:27:26.100 --> 00:27:27.300
 ahead of her

00:27:27.300 --> 00:27:28.200
 to soften it.

00:27:28.800 --> 00:27:30.019
 So David will be the one

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.960
 to see these coming

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:31.640
 around the bend.

00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:33.600
 And after all these gifts,

00:27:33.780 --> 00:27:34.640
 it will be Abigail

00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:36.060
 to meet him next.

00:27:37.380 --> 00:27:38.860
 But she did not tell

00:27:38.860 --> 00:27:40.280
 her husband.

00:27:41.940 --> 00:27:43.240
 Proverbs 11, 24,

00:27:43.420 --> 00:27:44.800
 and 25 tells us

00:27:44.800 --> 00:27:46.019
 that one gives freely,

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:47.000
 Abigail,

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.600
 and grows all the richer.

00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:51.240
 And another withholds

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:52.279
 what he should give

00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:54.179
 and only suffers want.

00:27:54.619 --> 00:27:54.939
 Nabal,

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:57.199
 whoever brings blessing

00:27:57.199 --> 00:27:57.980
 will be enriched

00:27:57.980 --> 00:27:59.619
 and one who waters

00:27:59.619 --> 00:28:01.799
 will himself be watered.

00:28:02.679 --> 00:28:03.839
 Abigail is a picture

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:05.379
 of wisdom for us.

00:28:06.179 --> 00:28:06.740
 In verse 20,

00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:07.399
 So it was,

00:28:07.439 --> 00:28:08.819
 as she rode on the donkey,

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:10.439
 that she went down

00:28:10.439 --> 00:28:11.899
 under cover of the hill

00:28:11.899 --> 00:28:14.980
 and there David and his men

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:16.679
 were coming toward her

00:28:16.679 --> 00:28:17.719
 and she met them.

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:19.680
 Now David had said,

00:28:19.860 --> 00:28:20.620
 Surely in vain

00:28:20.620 --> 00:28:21.579
 I have protected

00:28:21.579 --> 00:28:22.860
 all that this fellow

00:28:22.860 --> 00:28:23.720
 has in the wilderness

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:25.579
 so that nothing was missing

00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:28.299
 of all that belongs to him.

00:28:28.779 --> 00:28:30.940
 And he has repaid me

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:32.620
 evil for good.

00:28:35.120 --> 00:28:36.720
 And look at verse 22.

00:28:36.860 --> 00:28:37.620
 David says,

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:40.640
 A rash vow before God.

00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:42.880
 May God do so

00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:43.680
 and more also

00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:44.980
 to the enemies of David.

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:47.440
 If I leave one male

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:49.779
 of all who belong to him

00:28:49.779 --> 00:28:51.480
 by morning light.

00:28:52.980 --> 00:28:54.599
 We have a hint here now

00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:55.720
 foreshadowing David

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.799
 has it within him

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:58.660
 to be just like Saul.

00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:01.339
 Making rash vows,

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:02.319
 calling on the name

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:03.339
 of the Lord in vain.

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:06.319
 And what he says

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:07.180
 in verse 22

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:08.440
 is war language.

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.860
 It's something

00:29:09.860 --> 00:29:11.039
 way more crude

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.860
 than our English

00:29:11.860 --> 00:29:13.059
 translations give us.

00:29:13.059 --> 00:29:14.700
 And you should come

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:15.440
 ask me later on

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:16.099
 what does he actually

00:29:16.099 --> 00:29:16.859
 say in Hebrew

00:29:16.859 --> 00:29:17.779
 and I'll tell the men

00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:18.879
 what he actually says.

00:29:21.179 --> 00:29:22.179
 David's rage here

00:29:22.179 --> 00:29:22.599
 was

00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:24.819
 the sin

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:25.599
 of him

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:26.200
 and his flesh

00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:26.779
 as a man.

00:29:28.339 --> 00:29:29.240
 David could have

00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:30.039
 done something

00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:31.099
 horrendous.

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:33.779
 David could have been

00:29:33.779 --> 00:29:35.019
 exactly like Saul.

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.779
 Remember how Saul

00:29:36.779 --> 00:29:37.980
 wiped out the priests

00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:39.299
 in the entire city.

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:41.539
 this blood

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:42.659
 of these innocent

00:29:42.659 --> 00:29:43.759
 people of Judah

00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:45.359
 in this moment

00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:45.819
 right now

00:29:45.819 --> 00:29:46.339
 could have been

00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:47.359
 on David's hands.

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:51.299
 David could have

00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:52.119
 ruined

00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:53.339
 all hope

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:54.339
 of God bringing

00:29:54.339 --> 00:29:54.700
 Judah

00:29:54.700 --> 00:29:55.200
 much less

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:55.879
 all Israel

00:29:55.879 --> 00:29:57.480
 to follow him

00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:58.139
 as their king.

00:29:59.460 --> 00:30:00.279
 But God

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:01.279
 limited David

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:02.819
 even in his flesh

00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:03.899
 and God

00:30:03.899 --> 00:30:04.700
 even ordered

00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:06.720
 by his providence

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.519
 what would happen.

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:09.240
 It was God

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:10.319
 who sent Abigail

00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:12.240
 and through her words

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:12.879
 her truth

00:30:12.879 --> 00:30:13.859
 her wisdom

00:30:13.859 --> 00:30:14.259
 God

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:15.200
 governed

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:15.700
 David.

00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:18.299
 David's anger

00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:18.879
 could have ended

00:30:18.879 --> 00:30:19.660
 in a massacre

00:30:19.660 --> 00:30:21.759
 but because

00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:22.379
 the truth

00:30:22.379 --> 00:30:23.500
 was spoken to him

00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:24.559
 by God's servant

00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:25.059
 Abigail

00:30:25.059 --> 00:30:26.559
 this story ends

00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:27.139
 with David

00:30:27.139 --> 00:30:28.019
 repenting

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:28.579
 instead.

00:30:29.859 --> 00:30:30.700
 God used

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:32.160
 this friction

00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:32.839
 of Nabal's

00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:33.200
 falling

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:34.599
 to fulfill

00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:35.279
 God's

00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:35.920
 holy

00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:36.740
 purpose.

00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:38.639
 And in the meantime

00:30:38.639 --> 00:30:39.539
 to bring David

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:39.859
 low

00:30:39.859 --> 00:30:40.759
 to humble him

00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:41.700
 and refine

00:30:41.700 --> 00:30:42.839
 this future

00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:43.619
 king of Israel.

00:30:44.579 --> 00:30:45.839
 In verse 23

00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:46.579
 let's see how it

00:30:46.579 --> 00:30:47.079
 happens.

00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:48.400
 When Abigail

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:49.139
 saw David

00:30:49.139 --> 00:30:50.039
 she dismounted

00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:50.720
 quickly from the

00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:51.019
 donkey

00:30:51.019 --> 00:30:52.559
 fell on her

00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:53.579
 face before David

00:30:53.579 --> 00:30:55.019
 and bowed down

00:30:55.019 --> 00:30:55.779
 to the ground.

00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:57.099
 Remember David

00:30:57.099 --> 00:30:57.879
 had called Nabal

00:30:57.879 --> 00:30:58.980
 he said I'm your

00:30:58.980 --> 00:30:59.299
 son

00:30:59.299 --> 00:30:59.720
 you know

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:00.200
 we are your

00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:00.619
 servants

00:31:00.619 --> 00:31:01.019
 he had made

00:31:01.019 --> 00:31:01.700
 himself low

00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:02.680
 under Nabal.

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:04.039
 Now Abigail

00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:05.039
 comes even lower

00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:05.980
 than David

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:06.779
 before him.

00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:09.059
 In verse 24

00:31:09.059 --> 00:31:09.920
 she fell

00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:10.720
 at his feet

00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:11.839
 and said

00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:13.019
 on me

00:31:13.019 --> 00:31:13.619
 my lord

00:31:13.619 --> 00:31:14.819
 on me

00:31:14.819 --> 00:31:15.899
 let this

00:31:15.899 --> 00:31:16.779
 iniquity

00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:17.399
 be

00:31:17.399 --> 00:31:19.480
 the evil

00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:20.539
 of my husband

00:31:20.539 --> 00:31:21.819
 put it on me

00:31:21.819 --> 00:31:23.259
 charge it

00:31:23.259 --> 00:31:23.960
 to my account

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:25.379
 and please

00:31:25.379 --> 00:31:25.779
 let your

00:31:25.779 --> 00:31:26.420
 maidservant

00:31:26.420 --> 00:31:27.099
 speak in your

00:31:27.099 --> 00:31:27.440
 ears

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:28.099
 hear the words

00:31:28.099 --> 00:31:28.359
 of your

00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:28.940
 maidservant

00:31:28.940 --> 00:31:29.680
 please

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.740
 let not

00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:31.240
 my lord

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:31.899
 regard this

00:31:31.899 --> 00:31:32.440
 scoundrel

00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:32.879
 Nabal

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:34.280
 for as

00:31:34.280 --> 00:31:34.740
 his name

00:31:34.740 --> 00:31:35.020
 is

00:31:35.020 --> 00:31:35.480
 so is

00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:35.680
 he

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:36.220
 Nabal

00:31:36.220 --> 00:31:36.660
 is his

00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:37.040
 name

00:31:37.040 --> 00:31:37.460
 and

00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:37.940
 folly

00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:38.120
 is

00:31:38.120 --> 00:31:38.340
 with

00:31:38.340 --> 00:31:38.580
 them

00:31:38.580 --> 00:31:39.220
 but

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:39.520
 I

00:31:39.520 --> 00:31:39.700
 your

00:31:39.700 --> 00:31:40.280
 maidservant

00:31:40.280 --> 00:31:40.680
 did not

00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:41.120
 see the

00:31:41.120 --> 00:31:41.480
 young men

00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:41.780
 of my

00:31:41.780 --> 00:31:42.100
 lord

00:31:42.100 --> 00:31:42.640
 whom

00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:42.840
 you

00:31:42.840 --> 00:31:43.220
 sent

00:31:43.220 --> 00:31:44.200
 she's

00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:44.420
 owning

00:31:44.420 --> 00:31:44.640
 her

00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:44.960
 part

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:45.500
 if I

00:31:45.500 --> 00:31:45.660
 would

00:31:45.660 --> 00:31:45.780
 have

00:31:45.780 --> 00:31:46.040
 seen

00:31:46.040 --> 00:31:46.220
 them

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:46.460
 going

00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:46.640
 to

00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:46.840
 talk

00:31:46.840 --> 00:31:47.000
 to

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:47.300
 Nabal

00:31:47.300 --> 00:31:47.880
 and I

00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:48.120
 know

00:31:48.120 --> 00:31:48.340
 his

00:31:48.340 --> 00:31:48.920
 foolishness

00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:49.360
 I

00:31:49.360 --> 00:31:49.540
 would

00:31:49.540 --> 00:31:49.660
 have

00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:50.120
 intervened

00:31:50.120 --> 00:31:50.500
 quicker

00:31:50.500 --> 00:31:51.180
 and

00:31:51.180 --> 00:31:51.360
 not

00:31:51.360 --> 00:31:51.540
 let

00:31:51.540 --> 00:31:51.700
 your

00:31:51.700 --> 00:31:51.980
 men

00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:52.160
 be

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:53.060
 reviled

00:31:53.060 --> 00:31:53.760
 so

00:31:53.760 --> 00:31:54.500
 humiliating

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:54.780
 of a

00:31:54.780 --> 00:31:54.980
 way

00:31:54.980 --> 00:31:56.140
 verse

00:31:56.140 --> 00:31:56.740
 26

00:31:56.740 --> 00:31:57.480
 now

00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:57.840
 therefore

00:31:57.840 --> 00:31:58.120
 my

00:31:58.120 --> 00:31:58.400
 lord

00:31:58.400 --> 00:31:58.780
 as the

00:31:58.779 --> 00:31:59.019
 lord

00:31:59.019 --> 00:31:59.480
 lives

00:32:00.379 --> 00:32:00.680

00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:00.940
 lives

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:01.160
 since

00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:01.359
 the

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:01.599
 lord

00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:02.119
 has

00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:02.399
 held

00:32:02.399 --> 00:32:02.619
 you

00:32:02.619 --> 00:32:03.019
 back

00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:03.559
 from

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:03.899
 coming

00:32:03.899 --> 00:32:04.079
 to

00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:04.639
 bloodshed

00:32:07.059 --> 00:32:07.339
 now

00:32:07.339 --> 00:32:07.619
 then

00:32:07.619 --> 00:32:08.259
 let

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:08.460

00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:12.039
 Nabal

00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:12.779
 and

00:34:31.539 --> 00:34:32.200
 mediator

00:34:32.200 --> 00:34:33.360
 let

00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:33.579
 that

00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:33.940
 melt

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:34.160
 our

00:34:34.160 --> 00:34:34.579
 hearts

00:34:34.579 --> 00:34:36.320
 and

00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:36.420
 we

00:34:36.420 --> 00:34:36.900
 respond

00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:37.079
 in

00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:37.519
 gratitude

00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:41.019
 the

00:34:41.019 --> 00:34:41.219
 next

00:34:41.219 --> 00:34:41.659
 observation

00:34:41.659 --> 00:34:42.079
 is

00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:42.280
 what

00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:42.619
 God

00:34:42.619 --> 00:34:43.019
 does

00:34:43.019 --> 00:34:44.360
 two

00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:44.800
 things

00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:45.239
 the

00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:45.420
 first

00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:45.579
 one

00:34:45.579 --> 00:34:45.719
 is

00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:45.880
 that

00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:46.300
 God's

00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:46.639
 love

00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:47.400
 restrains

00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:47.719
 our

00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:48.159
 flesh

00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:48.480
 it's

00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:48.619
 what

00:34:48.619 --> 00:34:48.800
 God

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:49.059
 does

00:34:49.059 --> 00:34:49.280
 toward

00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:49.639
 David

00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:50.880
 and

00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:51.000
 then

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:51.159
 the

00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:51.380
 second

00:34:51.380 --> 00:34:51.559
 one

00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:51.679
 is

00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:51.860
 that

00:34:51.860 --> 00:34:52.320
 God

00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:52.840
 will

00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:53.199
 build

00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:53.460
 his

00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:53.820
 kingdom

00:34:53.820 --> 00:34:54.719
 that's

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:54.820
 what

00:34:54.820 --> 00:34:54.940
 he

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:55.159
 does

00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:55.500
 through

00:34:55.500 --> 00:34:55.800
 this

00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:56.219
 vessel

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:56.599
 David

00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:57.239
 for

00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:57.440
 all

00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:57.639
 his

00:34:57.639 --> 00:34:57.960
 people

00:34:57.960 --> 00:34:58.980
 so

00:34:58.980 --> 00:34:59.579
 God's

00:34:59.579 --> 00:34:59.900
 love

00:34:59.900 --> 00:35:00.619
 restrains

00:35:00.619 --> 00:35:00.800
 our

00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:01.259
 flesh

00:35:01.259 --> 00:35:02.420
 notice

00:35:02.420 --> 00:35:02.639
 how

00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:02.900
 God

00:35:02.900 --> 00:35:03.639
 restrains

00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:04.019
 David

00:35:04.019 --> 00:35:04.639
 in

00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:04.800
 his

00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:05.139
 flesh

00:35:05.139 --> 00:35:05.519
 through

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:06.239
 Abigail's

00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:06.619
 words

00:35:06.619 --> 00:35:07.259
 this

00:35:07.259 --> 00:35:07.400
 is

00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:07.579
 the

00:35:07.579 --> 00:35:07.980
 longest

00:35:07.980 --> 00:35:08.920
 speech

00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:09.659
 coming

00:35:09.659 --> 00:35:09.900
 from

00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:10.099
 a

00:35:10.099 --> 00:35:10.380
 female

00:35:10.380 --> 00:35:10.759
 mouth

00:35:10.759 --> 00:35:10.920
 in

00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:11.239
 all

00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:11.380
 of

00:35:11.380 --> 00:35:11.519
 the

00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:11.739
 Old

00:35:11.739 --> 00:35:12.119
 Testament

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.380
 which

00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:12.599
 means

00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:12.799
 it's

00:35:12.799 --> 00:35:13.139
 very

00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:14.139
 significant

00:35:14.139 --> 00:35:14.299
 and

00:35:14.299 --> 00:35:14.480
 there's

00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:14.619
 so

00:35:14.619 --> 00:35:14.839
 much

00:35:14.839 --> 00:35:15.000
 we

00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:15.219
 should

00:35:15.219 --> 00:35:16.500
 absorb

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:16.679
 and

00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:17.079
 appreciate

00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:17.500
 here

00:35:17.500 --> 00:35:18.980
 Abigail

00:35:18.980 --> 00:35:19.519
 begins

00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:19.779
 by

00:35:19.779 --> 00:35:20.440
 encouraging

00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:21.079
 David

00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:21.799
 putting

00:35:21.799 --> 00:35:22.400
 courage

00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:22.699
 back

00:35:22.699 --> 00:35:23.019
 into

00:35:23.019 --> 00:35:23.299
 him

00:35:23.299 --> 00:35:24.400
 remember

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:24.719
 he's

00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:25.039
 grieving

00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:25.500
 the loss

00:35:25.500 --> 00:35:25.679
 of

00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:26.059
 Samuel

00:35:26.059 --> 00:35:27.819
 he's

00:35:27.819 --> 00:35:28.159
 certainly

00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:28.980
 attacked

00:35:28.980 --> 00:35:29.359
 by the

00:35:29.359 --> 00:35:29.599
 enemy

00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:29.880
 and

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.359
 wondering

00:35:30.359 --> 00:35:30.579
 will

00:35:30.579 --> 00:35:30.920
 God

00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:31.139
 be

00:35:31.139 --> 00:35:31.460
 faithful

00:35:31.460 --> 00:35:31.699
 to

00:35:31.699 --> 00:35:31.880
 his

00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:32.199
 covenant

00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:32.920
 or is

00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:33.099
 now

00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:33.259
 the

00:35:33.259 --> 00:35:33.480
 time

00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:33.679
 where I

00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:33.880
 take

00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:34.259
 matters

00:35:34.259 --> 00:35:34.739
 into

00:35:34.739 --> 00:35:34.960
 my

00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:35.119
 own

00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:35.559
 hands

00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:36.599
 and

00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:36.779
 she

00:35:36.779 --> 00:35:37.299
 reminds

00:35:37.299 --> 00:35:37.679
 David

00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:37.920
 of

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:38.380
 God's

00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:38.719
 covenant

00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:39.799
 faithfulness

00:35:39.799 --> 00:35:39.960
 in

00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:40.119
 verse

00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:40.559
 28

00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:40.859
 she

00:35:40.859 --> 00:35:41.239
 says

00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:41.779
 the

00:35:41.779 --> 00:35:42.099
 Lord

00:35:42.099 --> 00:35:42.339
 will

00:35:42.339 --> 00:35:42.779
 certainly

00:35:42.779 --> 00:35:43.239
 make

00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:43.779
 for

00:35:43.779 --> 00:35:44.000
 my

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:44.380
 Lord

00:35:44.380 --> 00:35:44.920
 an

00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:45.400
 enduring

00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:46.079
 house

00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:46.960
 that

00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:47.339
 promise

00:35:47.339 --> 00:35:47.559
 of

00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:47.799
 building

00:35:47.799 --> 00:35:48.000
 a

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:48.239
 kingdom

00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:48.579
 through

00:35:48.579 --> 00:35:49.059
 the

00:35:49.059 --> 00:35:49.359
 family

00:35:49.359 --> 00:35:49.639
 line

00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:49.799
 of

00:35:49.799 --> 00:35:50.039
 David

00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:50.259
 it

00:35:50.259 --> 00:35:50.500
 will

00:35:50.500 --> 00:35:50.779
 come

00:35:50.779 --> 00:35:51.099
 true

00:35:51.099 --> 00:35:52.179
 believe

00:35:52.179 --> 00:35:52.400
 the

00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:52.819
 promises

00:35:52.819 --> 00:35:53.099
 of

00:35:53.099 --> 00:35:53.500
 God

00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:54.539
 she

00:35:54.539 --> 00:35:54.759
 says

00:35:54.759 --> 00:35:55.079
 because

00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:55.299
 my

00:35:55.299 --> 00:35:55.880
 my

 you

00:35:56.339 --> 00:35:56.619
 David

00:35:56.619 --> 00:35:56.799
 you

00:35:56.799 --> 00:35:57.079
 fight

00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:57.279
 the

00:35:57.279 --> 00:35:57.599
 battles

00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:57.759
 of

00:35:57.759 --> 00:35:57.900
 the

00:35:57.900 --> 00:35:58.139
 Lord

00:35:58.139 --> 00:35:58.759
 and

00:35:58.759 --> 00:35:59.039
 evil

00:35:59.039 --> 00:35:59.239
 is

00:35:59.239 --> 00:35:59.480
 not

00:35:59.480 --> 00:35:59.839
 found

00:35:59.839 --> 00:36:00.000
 in

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:00.139
 you

00:36:00.139 --> 00:36:00.420
 throughout

00:36:00.420 --> 00:36:00.639
 your

00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:01.099
 days

00:36:01.099 --> 00:36:01.739
 verse

00:36:01.739 --> 00:36:02.279
 29

00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:06.220
 that's

00:36:06.220 --> 00:36:06.400
 King

00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:06.780
 Saul

00:36:06.780 --> 00:36:07.360
 and

00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:07.480
 he

00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:07.760
 seeks

00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:07.940
 your

00:36:07.940 --> 00:36:08.360

00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:09.960
 she's

00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:10.140
 saying

00:36:10.140 --> 00:36:10.300
 I'm

00:36:10.300 --> 00:36:10.500
 not

00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:10.620
 on

00:36:10.620 --> 00:36:10.760
 the

00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:10.980
 side

00:36:10.980 --> 00:36:11.140
 of

00:36:11.140 --> 00:36:11.460
 Saul

00:36:11.460 --> 00:36:12.560
 God

00:36:12.560 --> 00:36:12.720
 will

00:36:12.720 --> 00:36:12.860
 do

00:36:12.860 --> 00:36:12.980
 what

00:36:12.980 --> 00:36:13.080
 he

00:36:13.080 --> 00:36:13.460
 said

00:36:13.460 --> 00:36:14.460
 and

00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:14.760
 Saul

00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:14.900
 is

00:36:14.900 --> 00:36:15.000
 the

00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:15.140
 one

00:36:15.140 --> 00:36:15.580
 opposing

00:36:15.580 --> 00:36:16.180
 what

00:36:16.180 --> 00:36:16.440
 God

00:36:36.500 --> 00:36:36.740
 this

00:36:36.740 --> 00:36:37.059

 to

00:36:40.260 --> 00:36:40.519
 is all

00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:40.780
 about

00:36:40.780 --> 00:36:41.300

00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:44.120
 this

00:36:44.120 --> 00:36:44.280
 is

00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:44.640
 David's

00:36:45.160 --> 00:36:45.640
 this

00:36:45.640 --> 00:36:45.780

00:36:45.780 --> 00:36:45.980
 maybe

 absorbed

00:43:55.460 --> 00:43:55.699
 the

 we

00:43:56.819 --> 00:43:57.419
 deserve

00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:00.179
 a

00:44:00.179 --> 00:44:00.439
 moment

00:44:01.219 --> 00:44:02.039
 men

00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:02.179
 in

 the

00:44:02.319 --> 00:44:02.679
 wilderness

00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:03.259
 starving

00:44:03.259 --> 00:44:03.539
 with

00:44:03.539 --> 00:44:03.739
 their

00:44:03.739 --> 00:44:04.179
 swords

00:44:04.179 --> 00:44:04.899
 coming

00:44:04.899 --> 00:44:05.159
 to

00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:05.839
 slay

00:44:05.839 --> 00:44:06.659
 these

00:44:06.659 --> 00:44:07.039
 wicked

00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:07.579
 evil

00:44:07.579 --> 00:44:08.659
 men

00:44:08.659 --> 00:44:09.519
 that's

00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:09.619
 you

00:44:09.619 --> 00:44:09.759
 and

00:44:09.759 --> 00:44:09.980
 me

00:44:09.980 --> 00:44:10.599
 that's

00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:10.779
 the

00:44:10.779 --> 00:44:11.000
 fate

00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:11.179
 we

00:44:11.179 --> 00:44:11.719
 deserve

00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:14.399
 and

00:44:14.399 --> 00:44:14.599
 it's

00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:14.779
 our

00:44:14.779 --> 00:44:15.519
 God's

00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:16.000
 pleasure

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:17.119
 to

00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:17.699
 withhold

00:44:17.699 --> 00:44:18.299
 the

00:44:18.299 --> 00:44:18.679
 punishment

00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:18.919
 we

00:44:18.919 --> 00:44:19.299
 deserve

00:44:19.299 --> 00:44:19.659
 because

00:44:19.659 --> 00:44:19.940
 it's

00:44:19.940 --> 00:44:20.399
 already

00:44:20.399 --> 00:44:20.919
 been

00:44:20.919 --> 00:44:21.159
 poured

00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:21.460
 out

00:44:21.460 --> 00:44:22.119
 on

 Christ

00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:23.719
 the

00:44:24.659 --> 00:44:25.779
 mediator

00:44:25.779 --> 00:44:26.719
 and

00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:26.899
 it's

00:44:26.899 --> 00:44:27.179
 because

00:44:27.179 --> 00:44:27.619
 of his

00:44:27.619 --> 00:44:28.079
 grace

00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:28.899
 and his

00:44:28.899 --> 00:44:29.299
 kindness

00:44:29.299 --> 00:44:29.739
 and the

00:44:29.739 --> 00:44:30.139
 power

00:44:30.139 --> 00:44:30.819
 of his

00:44:30.819 --> 00:44:31.039
 Holy

00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:31.480
 Spirit

00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:32.239
 that he

00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:32.500
 will

00:44:32.500 --> 00:44:33.279
 restrain

00:44:33.279 --> 00:44:33.699
 our

00:44:33.699 --> 00:44:34.159
 flesh

00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:34.960
 just like

00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:35.099
 he

00:44:35.099 --> 00:44:35.579
 restrained

00:44:35.579 --> 00:44:35.960
 David

00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:36.859
 in his

00:44:36.859 --> 00:44:37.279
 flesh

00:44:37.279 --> 00:44:38.419
 the

00:44:38.419 --> 00:44:38.699
 Lord

00:44:38.699 --> 00:44:38.919
 will

00:44:38.919 --> 00:44:39.179
 keep

00:44:39.179 --> 00:44:39.339
 you

00:44:39.339 --> 00:44:39.460
 and

00:44:39.460 --> 00:44:39.619
 me

00:44:39.619 --> 00:44:39.839
 from

00:44:39.839 --> 00:44:40.299
 sinning

00:44:40.299 --> 00:44:41.480
 and

00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:41.639
 he

00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:41.779
 will

00:44:41.779 --> 00:44:41.960
 get

00:44:41.960 --> 00:44:42.179
 all

00:44:42.179 --> 00:44:42.379
 the

00:44:42.379 --> 00:44:42.739
 glory

00:44:42.739 --> 00:44:43.359
 for

00:44:43.359 --> 00:44:43.539
 our

00:44:43.539 --> 00:44:44.239
 sanctification

00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:45.019
 we

00:44:45.019 --> 00:44:45.279
 will

00:44:45.279 --> 00:44:45.579
 still

00:44:45.579 --> 00:44:45.919
 sin

00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:47.380
 but

00:44:47.380 --> 00:44:47.700
 we

00:44:47.700 --> 00:44:47.940
 will

00:44:47.940 --> 00:44:48.139
 sin

00:44:48.139 --> 00:44:48.460
 much

00:44:48.460 --> 00:44:48.840
 less

00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:49.059
 than

00:44:49.059 --> 00:44:49.220
 if

00:44:49.220 --> 00:44:49.400
 God

00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:49.559
 did

00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:49.760
 not

00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:50.579
 constantly

00:44:50.579 --> 00:44:51.440
 restrain

00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:51.760
 us

00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:52.280
 and

00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:52.400
 we

00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:52.559
 need

00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:52.720
 to

00:44:52.720 --> 00:44:53.099
 recognize

00:44:53.099 --> 00:44:53.480
 that

00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:53.960
 and

00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:54.320
 praise

00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:54.579
 him

00:44:54.579 --> 00:44:55.240
 and

00:44:55.240 --> 00:44:55.659
 confess

00:44:55.659 --> 00:44:55.900
 our

00:44:55.900 --> 00:44:56.240
 utter

00:44:56.240 --> 00:44:56.760
 dependence

00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:57.539
 on

00:44:57.539 --> 00:44:57.820
 him

00:44:57.820 --> 00:45:00.960
 well the

00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:01.260
 fifth

00:45:01.260 --> 00:45:02.280
 observation

00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:02.780
 is this

00:45:02.780 --> 00:45:03.320
 that God

00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:03.980
 will build

00:45:03.980 --> 00:45:04.680
 his

00:45:04.680 --> 00:45:05.079
 kingdom

00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:07.059
 verse

00:45:07.059 --> 00:45:07.559
 36

00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:08.059
 tells us

00:45:08.059 --> 00:45:08.420
 Abigail

00:45:08.420 --> 00:45:08.940
 went to

00:45:08.940 --> 00:45:09.260
 Nabal

00:45:09.260 --> 00:45:09.619
 and there

00:45:09.619 --> 00:45:09.980
 was

00:45:09.980 --> 00:45:10.360
 there he

00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:10.680
 was

00:45:10.680 --> 00:45:11.280
 holding

00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:11.840
 a feast

00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:12.180
 in his

00:45:12.180 --> 00:45:12.599
 house

00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:13.719
 so

00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:14.079
 here's

00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:14.319
 David

00:45:14.319 --> 00:45:14.480
 the

00:45:14.819 --> 00:45:15.380
 king

00:45:15.380 --> 00:45:15.779
 in the

00:45:15.779 --> 00:45:16.079
 wilderness

00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:16.579
 without

00:45:16.579 --> 00:45:17.019
 food

00:45:17.019 --> 00:45:17.799
 and look

00:45:17.799 --> 00:45:17.940
 at

00:45:17.940 --> 00:45:18.259
 Nabal

00:45:18.259 --> 00:45:18.400
 in

00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:18.579
 verse

00:45:18.579 --> 00:45:19.199
 36

00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:20.380
 a feast

00:45:20.380 --> 00:45:20.940
 like

00:45:20.940 --> 00:45:21.259
 a

00:45:21.259 --> 00:45:21.500
 king

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:23.000
 and

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:23.380
 Nabal's

00:45:23.380 --> 00:45:23.559
 heart

00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:23.759
 was

00:45:23.759 --> 00:45:24.059
 merry

00:45:24.059 --> 00:45:24.400
 within

00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:24.619
 him

00:45:24.619 --> 00:45:24.799
 for

00:45:24.799 --> 00:45:24.920
 he

00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:25.079
 was

00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:25.319
 very

00:45:25.319 --> 00:45:25.799
 drunk

00:45:25.799 --> 00:45:26.719
 and

00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:26.980
 therefore

00:45:26.980 --> 00:45:27.239
 she

00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:27.500
 told

00:45:27.500 --> 00:45:27.639
 him

00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:27.980
 nothing

00:45:27.980 --> 00:45:28.259
 little

00:45:28.259 --> 00:45:28.440
 or

00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:28.659
 much

00:45:28.659 --> 00:45:28.960
 until

00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:29.279
 morning

00:45:29.279 --> 00:45:29.599
 light

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:30.299
 she's

00:45:30.299 --> 00:45:30.539
 wise

00:45:30.539 --> 00:45:30.860
 again

00:45:30.860 --> 00:45:31.179
 picking

00:45:31.179 --> 00:45:31.380
 the

00:45:31.380 --> 00:45:31.719
 timing

00:45:31.719 --> 00:45:32.819
 verse

00:45:32.819 --> 00:45:33.339
 37

00:45:33.339 --> 00:45:33.619
 so

00:45:33.619 --> 00:45:33.799
 it

00:45:33.799 --> 00:45:34.019
 was

00:45:34.019 --> 00:45:34.139
 in

00:45:34.139 --> 00:45:34.259
 the

00:45:34.259 --> 00:45:34.539
 morning

00:45:34.539 --> 00:45:35.099
 when

00:45:35.099 --> 00:45:35.259
 the

00:45:35.259 --> 00:45:35.480
 wine

00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:35.659
 had

00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:35.900
 gone

00:45:35.900 --> 00:45:36.219
 from

00:45:36.219 --> 00:45:36.500
 Nabal

00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:36.500


00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:43.099
 she

00:45:43.099 --> 00:45:43.360
 didn't

00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:43.579
 tell

00:45:43.579 --> 00:45:43.739
 him

00:45:43.739 --> 00:45:43.880
 a

00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:44.099
 lie

00:45:44.099 --> 00:45:45.099
 she

00:45:45.099 --> 00:45:45.400
 spoke

00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:45.599
 the

00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:45.920
 truth

00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:46.380
 again

00:45:46.380 --> 00:45:47.639
 everything

00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:47.960
 that's

00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:48.099
 come

00:45:48.099 --> 00:45:48.239
 out

00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:48.339
 of

00:45:48.339 --> 00:45:48.860
 Abigail's

00:45:48.860 --> 00:45:49.099
 mouth

00:45:49.099 --> 00:45:49.299
 has

00:45:49.299 --> 00:45:49.480
 been

00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:49.839
 gracious

00:45:49.839 --> 00:45:50.319
 and

00:45:50.319 --> 00:45:50.619
 loving

00:45:50.619 --> 00:45:52.839
 and

00:45:52.839 --> 00:45:53.039
 look

00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:53.179
 at

00:45:53.179 --> 00:45:53.319
 the

00:45:53.319 --> 00:45:53.880
 response

00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:54.179
 of

00:45:54.179 --> 00:45:54.559
 Nabal

00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:54.880
 in

00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:55.420
 contrast

00:45:55.420 --> 00:45:55.659
 to

00:45:55.659 --> 00:45:55.920
 the

00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:56.659
 repentance

00:45:56.659 --> 00:45:57.019
 of

00:45:57.019 --> 00:45:57.360
 David

00:45:57.360 --> 00:45:59.259
 in

00:45:59.259 --> 00:45:59.519
 his

00:45:59.519 --> 00:45:59.839
 heart

00:45:59.839 --> 00:46:00.339
 Nabal

00:46:00.339 --> 00:46:00.420
!

00:46:00.420 --> 00:46:01.019
 died

00:46:01.019 --> 00:46:01.860
 his

00:46:01.860 --> 00:46:02.079
 heart

00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:02.500
 died

00:46:02.500 --> 00:46:02.880
 within

00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:03.179
 him

00:46:03.179 --> 00:46:03.579
 literally

00:46:03.579 --> 00:46:05.119
 and

00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:05.319
 he

00:46:05.319 --> 00:46:05.960
 became

00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:06.519
 like

00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:06.839
 a

00:46:06.839 --> 00:46:07.299
 stone

00:46:07.299 --> 00:46:10.099
 Jonathan

00:46:10.099 --> 00:46:10.440
 pointed

00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:10.779
 out in

00:46:10.779 --> 00:46:11.019
 Sunday

00:46:11.019 --> 00:46:11.259
 school

00:46:11.259 --> 00:46:11.480
 this

00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:11.699
 was

00:46:11.699 --> 00:46:11.940
 what

00:46:11.940 --> 00:46:12.420
 Abigail

00:46:12.420 --> 00:46:12.420


00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:13.860
 foretold

00:46:13.860 --> 00:46:14.420
 by the

00:46:14.420 --> 00:46:14.659
 power

00:46:14.659 --> 00:46:14.920
 of the

00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:15.199
 spirit

00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:15.539
 that

00:46:15.539 --> 00:46:15.960
 the

00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:16.279
 enemies

00:46:16.279 --> 00:46:16.440
 would

00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:16.579
 be

00:46:16.579 --> 00:46:17.019
 flung

00:46:17.019 --> 00:46:17.360
 far

00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:17.579
 away

00:46:17.579 --> 00:46:17.819
 like

00:46:17.819 --> 00:46:18.039
 a

00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:18.380
 stone

00:46:18.380 --> 00:46:19.259
 from

00:46:19.259 --> 00:46:19.460
 the

00:46:19.460 --> 00:46:19.940
 sling

00:46:19.940 --> 00:46:20.519
 of

00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:20.679
 a

00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:20.980
 shepherd

00:46:20.980 --> 00:46:22.219
 and

00:46:22.219 --> 00:46:22.440
 that's

00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:22.819
 exactly

00:46:22.819 --> 00:46:23.059
 how

00:46:23.059 --> 00:46:23.400
 Nabal

00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:23.559
 is

00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:23.880
 now

00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:24.799

 21

00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:27.460
