WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.540
 But we saw here tonight, as we're going to begin looking here in 1 Kings chapter 12,

00:00:05.259 --> 00:00:08.759
 but just to kind of work through here a little bit,

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:13.179
 remember that the kingdom that God established through David and Solomon

00:00:13.179 --> 00:00:17.240
 is now on the verge of being divided.

00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:21.839
 And between Judah, between the house of Judah and the house of Joseph,

00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:28.500
 is one way you can look at that, is to understand the dynamic,

00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:32.479
 but also it's referred to in the Scripture, you have the tribe of Judah

00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.000
 and the northern tribes and the southern tribes.

00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.679
 You have these dynamics that we're going to see as we move forward.

00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:47.060
 But we understand that this was caused by God's judgment because of Solomon's decisions.

00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:53.159
 And the one thing we need to always realize is that all decisions have consequences.

00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:59.679
 You know, the one thing we always keep in mind, there's always consequences to our decisions.

00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.879
 They might be good consequences or they might be bad consequences,

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.280
 but there's always a consequence to your decision.

00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:13.759
 There's always something that impacts that in a great way,

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.900
 and so we need to be thinking through those things.

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:21.980
 And even though Solomon started well, we learned he did not end well.

00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:25.860
 And it reflected upon his son, Rehoboam.

00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:32.920
 That was Solomon's consequence that he faced was the impact of what it had on the generations to come.

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.700
 You know, and our decisions do impact those to come.

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.640
 And we find here that Rehoboam, through how he learned from his father,

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.519
 you know, and even though Solomon wrote great wisdom,

00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:49.700
 you know, it's interesting that Rehoboam didn't do much listening.

00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:55.460
 You know, even though he had everything he needed before him,

00:01:55.620 --> 00:02:00.700
 and, you know, the choice he made in what he was going to get his validation,

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.379
 where was he going to get his information,

00:02:02.540 --> 00:02:05.960
 how was he going to make his decisions, played out.

00:02:06.099 --> 00:02:07.819
 And so keep your finger there in 1 Kings,

00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.139
 but look over into Proverbs chapter 2 for a moment.

00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:13.579
 Because as we think about Rehoboam and the decisions

00:02:13.579 --> 00:02:16.879
 and the things that he's going to make tonight that we're going to be looking at,

00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:21.899
 I want you to consider that Proverbs here was written by Solomon,

00:02:22.379 --> 00:02:26.399
 and it gives you a little good context to what Solomon was writing about here.

00:02:27.139 --> 00:02:31.000
 Because look here in Proverbs chapter 2, look at verse 1.

00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:33.419
 What's the first words there? He says what?

00:02:34.219 --> 00:02:35.119
 My son.

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.920
 So when you think about this in context of Solomon writing,

00:02:40.099 --> 00:02:41.719
 who was he probably writing towards?

00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:44.920
 Towards Rehoboam.

00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:48.680
 He's giving his son information.

00:02:49.539 --> 00:02:50.900
 He's giving him some wisdom.

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:51.400
 Look, it says,

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:56.500
 My son, if thou wilt receive my words and hide my commandments with thee,

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:01.219
 so thou wilt incline thine ear into wisdom and apply thy heart to understanding.

00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:05.800
 Yea, if thou criest out of knowledge and lifteth up thy voice for understanding,

00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:11.000
 if thou seekest her as silver and searchest her as for a hid treasure,

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:16.640
 then thou shalt understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.259
 Now, Solomon here is making that statement,

00:03:20.579 --> 00:03:22.959
 and oftentimes we look and say,

00:03:23.079 --> 00:03:26.719
 Well, Solomon, if he was the wisest guy, why didn't he follow his own advice?

00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.479
 And the only thing I'll tell you is just go home and look in the mirror.

00:03:34.079 --> 00:03:37.139
 Because we can sometimes understand a lot of things,

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.939
 but the applying of that in our lives is a little different, isn't it?

00:03:40.859 --> 00:03:41.879
 Because sometimes we can ask,

00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:46.019
 How can Solomon have written this and do the decisions he made?

00:03:47.339 --> 00:03:51.739
 The Bible makes it clear that we can know to do good and not do it.

00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.319
 We can know what we ought to do and not do it.

00:03:56.679 --> 00:03:59.419
 And so when we're looking at this tonight,

00:03:59.559 --> 00:04:02.319
 I want you to understand that even as Rehoboam,

00:04:02.419 --> 00:04:04.319
 if you remember Rehoboam, one of the problems,

00:04:04.459 --> 00:04:06.359
 think about what his father wrote,

00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:08.439
 but look at what he did,

00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.399
 because no place do we find that Rehoboam sought the Lord

00:04:12.399 --> 00:04:13.819
 and what decision he ought to make.

00:04:13.819 --> 00:04:18.579
 He sought the old men's counsel.

00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:20.180
 He sought the young men's counsel.

00:04:22.099 --> 00:04:24.240
 But you never find one time in here

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.060
 that you find that he sought the Lord's counsel,

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.439
 that he sought after what God wanted.

00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:34.159
 You know, one of the wisest things we can do

00:04:34.159 --> 00:04:36.620
 is to seek after what God wants

00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:39.100
 and to understand that.

00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.439
 And we're going to look tonight at the ramifications of that

00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:48.379
 because Rehoboam is here as in has rejected those things.

00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:50.079
 Let's pick up here in verse 16,

00:04:51.019 --> 00:04:52.680
 here in 1 Kings chapter 12,

00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:55.060
 here tonight, and notice it says here,

00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:58.459
 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them,

00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:00.959
 the people answered the king, saying,

00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:02.680
 What portion have we in David?

00:05:03.339 --> 00:05:05.860
 Neither we have inheritance in the son of Jesse.

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:07.959
 To your tents, O Israel,

00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:11.560
 now see to thine own house David.

00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:14.639
 So Israel departed unto their tents.

00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:16.740
 But as for the children of Israel,

00:05:16.740 --> 00:05:18.500
 which dwelt in the cities of Judah,

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.699
 Rehoboam reigned over them.

00:05:21.699 --> 00:05:23.459
 Now we're going to see here

00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:25.719
 that there was a rejection that took place.

00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:30.740
 They rejected Rehoboam as their king.

00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:32.300
 You know, that's the first thing

00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:33.159
 they ever need to understand.

00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:34.039
 There was a rejection,

00:05:34.139 --> 00:05:35.639
 there was a choice that was made.

00:05:38.039 --> 00:05:39.800
 And when he made that choice,

00:05:39.899 --> 00:05:42.339
 it impacted a lot of things

00:05:42.339 --> 00:05:44.480
 because when Rehoboam chose

00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.199
 to increase the tribute on the people,

00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.159
 it resulted in their rejection of him as king.

00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:54.099
 You know, when we understand

00:05:54.099 --> 00:05:56.199
 that the separation from Rehoboam

00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.199
 was based upon his unwillingness

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.079
 to seek wisdom.

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.759
 His unwillingness to grab a hold

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.099
 of the truth of wisdom

00:06:06.099 --> 00:06:07.459
 that his father Solomon

00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:09.419
 had provided for him.

00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:11.240
 But we realize here

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.620
 that this conflict that followed

00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:17.939
 was going to be detrimental in that

00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:19.639
 because there was some defiance

00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.120
 in their statement.

00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:24.300
 There was this rejection

00:06:24.300 --> 00:06:26.240
 of Rehoboam.

00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:28.000
 Because look there in verse 16

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:28.759
 with me again.

00:06:29.219 --> 00:06:30.399
 Notice the two statements

00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:31.040
 that they say.

00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:32.980
 What portion have we in David?

00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:34.839
 Neither have we inheritance

00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.040
 in the son of Jesse.

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.500
 You know, those are some

00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:40.079
 two powerful questions, aren't they?

00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:42.839
 To think about what they're stating there.

00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:43.839
 What is our portion?

00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:44.719
 What's our part?

00:06:46.500 --> 00:06:47.679
 Here is Israel

00:06:47.679 --> 00:06:49.139
 making a decision

00:06:49.139 --> 00:06:50.879
 saying that we have no part

00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.139
 in David,

00:06:52.679 --> 00:06:53.699
 neither an inheritance

00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:55.560
 in the son of Jesse.

00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:56.500
 You know,

00:06:57.239 --> 00:06:58.819
 they no longer saw

00:06:58.819 --> 00:06:59.559
 the benefit

00:06:59.559 --> 00:07:01.059
 of standing alongside

00:07:01.059 --> 00:07:03.479
 David and his kingdom.

00:07:04.159 --> 00:07:05.620
 They no longer saw

00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:06.259
 the benefit

00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:07.199
 of what portion

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:08.079
 they would have

00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.120
 because the division here

00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.079
 is along those same lines

00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:14.319
 that you find throughout.

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:15.319
 You know,

00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:16.259
 take a look over

00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:18.099
 in 2 Samuel for a moment

00:07:18.099 --> 00:07:20.279
 because to understand

00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:21.219
 what's happening here

00:07:21.219 --> 00:07:21.659
 a little bit,

00:07:21.719 --> 00:07:22.800
 we also have to understand

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:23.560
 a little history.

00:07:24.899 --> 00:07:25.539
 You know,

00:07:25.539 --> 00:07:26.159
 because sometimes

00:07:26.159 --> 00:07:27.839
 we can draw the wrong conclusion

00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.019
 or get the wrong idea

00:07:29.019 --> 00:07:29.620
 of what's happening

00:07:29.620 --> 00:07:30.419
 if we don't understand

00:07:30.419 --> 00:07:31.360
 what happened before.

00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.219
 And where some of the sediment

00:07:34.219 --> 00:07:36.599
 came up of these things,

00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:37.579
 this sediment of,

00:07:37.579 --> 00:07:39.099
 of kind of this division.

00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.399
 We have no part in you

00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:42.219
 and we see here

00:07:42.219 --> 00:07:43.599
 this dynamic.

00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:45.759
 Look here in 2 Samuel chapter 19.

00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:47.859
 2 Samuel chapter 19.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.180
 Look down here in verse 40.

00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:51.860
 It tells us this,

00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:53.300
 And the king went to Gilgal

00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:54.979
 and Chimam

00:07:54.979 --> 00:07:56.560
 and went on with him

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:57.620
 and all the people of Judah

00:07:57.620 --> 00:07:58.779
 conducted the king

00:07:58.779 --> 00:08:01.060
 and also half the people of Israel.

00:08:01.539 --> 00:08:02.060
 And behold,

00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:03.099
 all the men of Israel

00:08:03.099 --> 00:08:03.899
 came to the king

00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:04.839
 and said unto the king,

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:06.000
 Why have thy,

00:08:06.159 --> 00:08:06.699
 our brother

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:07.479
 and the men of Judah

00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:08.540
 have stolen thee away

00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:10.060
 and have brought the king

00:08:10.060 --> 00:08:10.700
 and his household

00:08:10.700 --> 00:08:11.860
 and all David's men

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:13.400
 with him over Jordan?

00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:14.400
 And all the men of Judah

00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:15.580
 answered the men of Israel

00:08:15.580 --> 00:08:16.560
 because of the king

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.379
 is near kin to us.

00:08:18.540 --> 00:08:18.920
 Wherefore,

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.759
 then be angry

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:21.700
 for this matter.

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.740
 We've eaten

00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:24.600
 at all of the king's cost

00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.520
 or have we given us

00:08:25.520 --> 00:08:26.080
 any gift?

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.420
 And the men of Israel

00:08:27.420 --> 00:08:28.540
 answered the men of Judah

00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:28.960
 and said,

00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:30.180
 We have ten parts

00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:30.759
 in the king.

00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.879
 Now that's an important statement

00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:35.720
 when he said here

00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.340
 because here when David,

00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:38.840
 this is right after Absalom,

00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:40.600
 his son had reared up

00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.860
 a rebellion against David

00:08:41.860 --> 00:08:43.939
 and David's coming back

00:08:43.939 --> 00:08:45.000
 into Jerusalem,

00:08:45.819 --> 00:08:46.980
 being brought back

00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:47.860
 over the Jordan

00:08:47.860 --> 00:08:49.740
 and here Israel comes

00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:50.340
 and they make a,

00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:51.379
 the ten tribes

00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:52.299
 make a declaration

00:08:52.299 --> 00:08:52.639
 that says,

00:08:52.779 --> 00:08:53.360
 We have what?

00:08:53.439 --> 00:08:54.840
 Ten parts in this kingdom.

00:08:55.539 --> 00:08:56.819
 We have an investment.

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:57.740
 We have a portion.

00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:58.899
 We have a part of this.

00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:01.279
 Now we find

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:02.100
 with Rehoboam

00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:02.939
 they make the exact

00:09:02.939 --> 00:09:03.740
 opposite statement,

00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:04.139
 don't they?

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:06.679
 What part have we with you?

00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.360
 You know,

00:09:10.379 --> 00:09:11.519
 they made a decision

00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.379
 in this

00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:14.620
 and they were angry

00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:16.000
 as you find there

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.399
 in 2 Samuel 19

00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:18.959
 but these words,

00:09:19.059 --> 00:09:19.699
 this statement

00:09:19.699 --> 00:09:20.639
 is also

00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.139
 another rebellion

00:09:22.139 --> 00:09:23.340
 that was against David

00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:25.079
 that kind of raised up

00:09:25.079 --> 00:09:25.980
 by the man

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:26.579
 of the name

00:09:26.579 --> 00:09:28.059
 of Sheba.

00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:28.559
 You know,

00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:29.619
 look over in 2 Samuel

00:09:29.619 --> 00:09:30.599
 chapter 20 there

00:09:30.599 --> 00:09:31.679
 just right after that

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.019
 because notice

00:09:33.019 --> 00:09:33.639
 the repeat

00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:34.579
 of the words here

00:09:34.579 --> 00:09:35.919
 that were faced

00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:36.479
 with David.

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.239
 Notice what

00:09:37.239 --> 00:09:38.859
 Sheba says here

00:09:38.859 --> 00:09:40.399
 in 2 Samuel chapter 20

00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:41.259
 and it says,

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:41.979
 There happened to be

00:09:41.979 --> 00:09:42.979
 a man of Belial

00:09:42.979 --> 00:09:44.339
 whose name was Sheba

00:09:44.339 --> 00:09:45.719
 the son of Berechi,

00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:46.679
 a Benjamite

00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:47.879
 and he blew a trumpet

00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:48.279
 and said,

00:09:48.439 --> 00:09:49.239
 We have no part

00:09:49.239 --> 00:09:49.719
 in David

00:09:49.719 --> 00:09:50.399
 neither have we

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:50.899
 inheritance

00:09:50.899 --> 00:09:51.959
 in the son of Jesse.

00:09:52.479 --> 00:09:53.099
 Every man

00:09:53.099 --> 00:09:54.359
 to his tenso Israel

00:09:54.359 --> 00:09:55.759
 and so every man

00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:56.119
 of Israel

00:09:56.119 --> 00:09:57.079
 went up from

00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:57.879
 after David

00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:58.400
 and followed

00:09:58.400 --> 00:09:58.800
 Sheba

00:09:58.800 --> 00:09:59.200
 the son

00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:00.060
 of Berechi

00:10:00.060 --> 00:10:00.800
 but the men

00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:01.139
 of Judah

00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:02.300
 clave unto their king

00:10:02.300 --> 00:10:03.440
 from Jordan

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.240
 even to Jerusalem.

00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:06.639
 You know,

00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.360
 they were dissatisfied

00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:09.680
 here just like

00:10:09.680 --> 00:10:10.639
 the children of Israel

00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:11.660
 the ten tribes

00:10:11.660 --> 00:10:13.139
 were dissatisfied

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:14.420
 and rejected

00:10:14.420 --> 00:10:16.540
 what God

00:10:16.540 --> 00:10:17.280
 had established.

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:19.400
 You know,

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:20.000
 one thing we need

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.280
 to be careful of here

00:10:21.280 --> 00:10:23.100
 is because often

00:10:23.100 --> 00:10:24.620
 we find that rejection

00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:26.460
 of the Lord

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:27.580
 finds its root

00:10:27.580 --> 00:10:28.920
 in the dissatisfaction

00:10:28.920 --> 00:10:29.920
 of what we desire

00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:32.580
 because we'll desire

00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:32.940
 something

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:33.840
 and what God wants

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:34.580
 doesn't line up

00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:35.259
 with our wants

00:10:35.259 --> 00:10:37.480
 or our desire

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:38.220
 of what we think

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:38.800
 ought to happen

00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:39.519
 doesn't line up

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.139
 with what God

00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:41.000
 allows to happen

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.159
 and we can become

00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:44.480
 dissatisfied

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.500
 which leads

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:46.440
 to a rejection

00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:47.399
 well God must be

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:48.220
 wrong on everything.

00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:51.800
 The children of Israel

00:10:51.800 --> 00:10:53.360
 here were saying

00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.820
 that they had no part

00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:56.040
 in what God established.

00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:58.920
 They were rejecting

00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:01.220
 the things of God

00:11:01.220 --> 00:11:02.120
 and we're going to see here

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.200
 in this

00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.220
 the ten tribes

00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:05.379
 had rejected

00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:06.160
 David

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:06.820
 before

00:11:06.820 --> 00:11:07.620
 had before

00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:08.680
 rejected David

00:11:08.680 --> 00:11:09.519
 and now openly

00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:10.279
 rejecting

00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:11.420
 Rehoboam.

00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:12.180
 You know,

00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:13.940
 I want you to understand

00:11:13.940 --> 00:11:15.120
 that when

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.940
 the statements

00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:16.860
 that are being made

00:11:16.860 --> 00:11:17.740
 though are important

00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:18.820
 because this is more

00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:20.120
 of an attitude thing

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:21.840
 in this rejection

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.879
 it's a way of thinking

00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:25.500
 because the statements here

00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:26.879
 to what part

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:27.299
 have we

00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:30.080
 in David

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.139
 and the son of Jesse

00:11:31.139 --> 00:11:32.200
 and when they make

00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.159
 that declaration

00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:34.879
 there in the scripture

00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.060
 notice what it tells them

00:11:36.060 --> 00:11:36.659
 here at the end

00:11:36.659 --> 00:11:38.039
 here in verse 16

00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:38.700
 it says

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:40.500
 to your tents

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:41.220
 O Israel

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:43.379
 now see to thine own house

00:11:43.379 --> 00:11:43.759
 David

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.019
 so Israel departed

00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:45.899
 unto their tents.

00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:47.620
 Now I want you to understand

00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:48.600
 this was one of those

00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:49.759
 where you might put it

00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:50.259
 this way

00:11:50.259 --> 00:11:51.060
 they're saying

00:11:51.060 --> 00:11:51.779
 okay guys

00:11:51.779 --> 00:11:52.879
 let's pick up our marbles

00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:53.460
 and go home.

00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.659
 I'm dissatisfied

00:11:56.659 --> 00:11:57.779
 I'm not happy

00:11:57.779 --> 00:11:59.139
 with what's going on here

00:11:59.139 --> 00:12:01.179
 let's take my stuff

00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:01.759
 and we're going to go

00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:02.659
 mind our own business

00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:05.179
 and do our own thing.

00:12:05.259 --> 00:12:06.419
 This is not a call

00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:07.600
 to an open rebellion.

00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:09.159
 Okay?

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:11.279
 That comes a little later

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:12.019
 we'll find

00:12:12.019 --> 00:12:13.759
 but I want you to understand

00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:14.460
 rejection

00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:14.519
 rejection

00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:15.759
 is the first step

00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:16.460
 to rebelling.

00:12:18.280 --> 00:12:19.400
 Is that mindset

00:12:19.400 --> 00:12:20.300
 of rejection

00:12:20.300 --> 00:12:21.620
 is the first step

00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:22.300
 of rebelling

00:12:22.300 --> 00:12:23.000
 against the Lord

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:23.840
 because it opens

00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.440
 the door

00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.080
 for those things

00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:26.360
 to say

00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:27.440
 what God wants

00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:28.340
 doesn't match

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:29.019
 what I want

00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:29.460
 so therefore

00:12:29.460 --> 00:12:30.519
 there must be a problem

00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:31.120
 and we always look

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:31.540
 at the problem

00:12:31.540 --> 00:12:32.259
 as being God.

00:12:34.300 --> 00:12:35.500
 And to understand

00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:36.540
 what's happening here

00:12:36.540 --> 00:12:37.440
 we see this

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.820
 taking place

00:12:39.820 --> 00:12:40.960
 but this was not

00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.020
 they had not

00:12:42.020 --> 00:12:42.600
 openly

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:45.660
 put in rebellion

00:12:45.660 --> 00:12:46.460
 against

00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:47.980
 Rehoboam

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.840
 at this point

00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:49.520
 they just kind of

00:12:49.520 --> 00:12:49.940
 went home

00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:50.600
 with their marbles

00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.300
 you might say.

00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:54.720
 But when Rehoboam

00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:55.760
 sees this

00:12:55.760 --> 00:12:58.900
 he's doing

00:12:58.900 --> 00:12:59.440
 exactly

00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:00.280
 what his father

00:13:00.280 --> 00:13:00.860
 Solomon

00:13:00.860 --> 00:13:01.820
 was worried about.

00:13:04.040 --> 00:13:05.380
 Turn to Ecclesiastes

00:13:05.380 --> 00:13:06.060
 for a moment.

00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:07.380
 Look over

00:13:07.380 --> 00:13:08.160
 in Ecclesiastes

00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:09.020
 chapter 2

00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:10.699
 Ecclesiastes

00:13:10.699 --> 00:13:11.519
 chapter 2

00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:12.460
 we see over here

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:15.340
 that Solomon

00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:16.059
 was concerned

00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:17.179
 about his kids

00:13:17.179 --> 00:13:17.519
 that were going

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:18.100
 to follow him.

00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:20.639
 And that's one

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.039
 of those things

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:21.419
 I don't know

00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:22.639
 if there's a dad

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.399
 that's not concerned

00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:23.919
 about what's going

00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:25.039
 to happen to their kids

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.899
 and anybody

00:13:25.899 --> 00:13:26.699
 in leadership

00:13:26.699 --> 00:13:27.559
 that's working

00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:28.399
 to do things

00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:29.519
 and establish something

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.840
 is not concerned

00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:31.519
 about what's going

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:31.960
 to follow.

00:13:33.860 --> 00:13:34.139
 You know

00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:35.220
 who's going

00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:36.159
 to come after me?

00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:37.419
 Who's going

00:13:37.419 --> 00:13:38.259
 to do these things?

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:38.819
 Notice here

00:13:38.820 --> 00:13:39.500
 in Ecclesiastes

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:40.140
 chapter 2

00:13:40.140 --> 00:13:40.940
 and verse 18

00:13:40.940 --> 00:13:42.200
 notice what it says

00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:42.440
 it says

00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:43.060
 yea I've hated

00:13:43.060 --> 00:13:43.960
 all my labor

00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:44.500
 which I had

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:45.460
 taken under the sun

00:13:45.460 --> 00:13:46.680
 because I should

00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:47.300
 leave it under

00:13:47.300 --> 00:13:47.879
 the man

00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:48.480
 that shall be

00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:49.060
 after me.

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:50.160
 Now notice

00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:50.700
 this statement

00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:51.240
 here he says

00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:51.960
 and who knoweth

00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:52.700
 whether he shall

00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:53.760
 be a wise man

00:13:53.760 --> 00:13:54.340
 or a fool

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:58.420
 yet shall he

00:13:58.420 --> 00:13:59.040
 rule over

00:13:59.040 --> 00:14:00.040
 all my labor

00:14:00.040 --> 00:14:00.700
 wherein I have

00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:01.080
 labored

00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:02.220
 and wherein I

00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:02.520
 have showed

00:14:02.520 --> 00:14:03.480
 myself wise

00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:04.140
 under the sun

00:14:04.140 --> 00:14:05.100
 this also

00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:06.640
 is vanity.

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:07.759
 you know

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.279
 in other words

00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:10.299
 Solomon understood

00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:11.120
 that he might

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:11.860
 do all the right

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:12.240
 things

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:12.740
 put all the

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:13.220
 right things

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:13.699
 in places

00:14:13.699 --> 00:14:14.240
 but you still

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:14.740
 can't control

00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:15.159
 what somebody

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:15.759
 else does.

00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:20.559
 That's an

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:21.659
 important reality

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:23.580
 to grab a hold

00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:24.120
 of because we

00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:25.319
 have a responsibility

00:14:25.319 --> 00:14:26.980
 but your

00:14:26.980 --> 00:14:27.699
 responsibility

00:14:27.699 --> 00:14:29.220
 is there

00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:31.559
 to teach

00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:32.179
 and to direct

00:14:32.179 --> 00:14:33.200
 the next generation

00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:33.780
 but it doesn't

00:14:33.780 --> 00:14:34.140
 guarantee

00:14:34.140 --> 00:14:34.500
 what they're

00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:34.920
 going to do.

00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:37.120
 You know

00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.180
 we see here

00:14:38.180 --> 00:14:39.080
 that Rehoboam

00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:40.100
 was definitely

00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:40.879
 not wise

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.340
 I mean we

00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:41.900
 definitely say

00:14:41.900 --> 00:14:42.259
 that he was

00:14:42.259 --> 00:14:42.820
 the fool

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:44.759
 that his father

00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:45.200
 was worried

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:45.480
 about.

00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.020
 He was definitely

00:14:48.020 --> 00:14:48.640
 the fool

00:14:48.640 --> 00:14:49.140
 that he was

00:14:49.140 --> 00:14:49.860
 worried about

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:50.680
 and he was

00:14:50.680 --> 00:14:51.440
 not wise

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.560
 in his response

00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:53.360
 to the departure

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:53.820
 of the ten

00:14:53.820 --> 00:14:54.340
 tribes

00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:55.980
 because take a

00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:56.420
 look at what

00:14:56.420 --> 00:14:57.160
 happens here

00:14:57.160 --> 00:14:57.680
 you know

00:14:57.680 --> 00:14:58.759
 Israel departs

00:14:58.759 --> 00:14:59.520
 to their tents

00:14:59.520 --> 00:15:01.080
 and Rehoboam

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:01.820
 is left with

00:15:01.820 --> 00:15:02.400
 those even

00:15:02.400 --> 00:15:02.720
 though they

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.019
 might have

00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:03.320
 been of the

00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:03.960
 other tribes

00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:04.340
 if they were

00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:04.720
 under his

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:05.379
 territory

00:15:05.379 --> 00:15:06.320
 they fell

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:06.600
 under

00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:07.560
 if they were

00:15:07.560 --> 00:15:07.960
 in Judah

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:08.399
 they fell

00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:08.820
 under his

00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:09.340
 authority

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:10.639
 but I want

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.139
 you to see

00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:11.600
 here what

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:12.340
 takes place

00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:13.279
 because he

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:13.759
 didn't make

00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:14.180
 a very

00:15:14.180 --> 00:15:16.420
 good decision

00:15:16.420 --> 00:15:16.879
 you might

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.300
 say

00:15:17.300 --> 00:15:18.680
 because notice

00:15:18.680 --> 00:15:19.580
 here in

00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:20.340
 verse 18

00:15:20.340 --> 00:15:21.500
 of our text

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:22.040
 here in

00:15:22.040 --> 00:15:22.620
 1 Kings

00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:23.420
 chapter 12

00:15:23.420 --> 00:15:25.800
 then King

00:15:25.800 --> 00:15:26.500
 Rehoboam

00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:28.139
 said Adoram

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:28.740
 who was over

00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:29.360
 the tribute

00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.100
 now I want

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:32.519
 you to stop

00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:32.960
 and consider

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:33.399
 what's being

00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:33.960
 said here

00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:35.200
 because remember

00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:35.840
 the picture

00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.040
 why did all

00:15:37.040 --> 00:15:37.460
 the people

00:15:37.460 --> 00:15:38.159
 depart and

00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:38.519
 go to their

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:39.040
 own place

00:15:39.040 --> 00:15:42.540
 because they

00:15:42.540 --> 00:15:43.060
 didn't like

00:15:43.060 --> 00:15:43.899
 the levy of

00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:44.500
 people and

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:44.960
 money that

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:45.460
 was placed

00:15:45.460 --> 00:15:45.860
 on them

00:15:45.860 --> 00:15:47.000
 and remember

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:47.379
 what did

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:47.860
 Rehoboam

00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:48.379
 tell them

00:15:48.379 --> 00:15:49.340
 when they

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:49.800
 said hey

00:15:49.800 --> 00:15:50.279
 you need to

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:50.800
 lighten the

00:15:50.800 --> 00:15:51.040
 load

00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:51.340
 what did

00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:51.800
 Rehoboam

00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:52.279
 tell them

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.159
 I'm going

00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:54.320
 to get

00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:54.720
 more

00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.800
 I'm going

00:15:57.800 --> 00:15:58.060
 to take

00:15:58.060 --> 00:15:58.480
 more

00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.420
 and they

00:16:00.420 --> 00:16:00.800
 said we're

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:01.240
 done

00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:02.860
 you ain't

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.120
 taking

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:03.779
 any more

00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:08.540
 so Rehoboam

00:16:08.540 --> 00:16:09.399
 sends his

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:10.519
 tax collector

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.019
 who had been

00:16:13.019 --> 00:16:13.720
 around a while

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:14.139
 it's not the

00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:14.840
 first time this

00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:15.460
 guy had went

00:16:15.460 --> 00:16:15.940
 and collected

00:16:15.940 --> 00:16:16.740
 the levy of

00:16:16.740 --> 00:16:17.220
 money and

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:17.600
 people

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.899
 and when we

00:16:20.899 --> 00:16:21.420
 see what

00:16:21.420 --> 00:16:22.279
 Adoram has

00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:22.899
 happened to

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:23.399
 him here

00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:24.519
 because as

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:24.980
 he goes

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.659
 together the

00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:26.799
 levy which

00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:27.299
 he had done

00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:28.120
 before but

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:28.779
 this time his

00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:29.539
 reception we

00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:30.120
 might say was

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:30.819
 a little rocky

00:16:30.819 --> 00:16:39.379
 good dad joke

00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:39.679
 right

00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:42.579

00:16:42.579 --> 00:16:42.959

00:16:42.959 --> 00:16:43.220
 there

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:45.620
 but consider

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:46.299
 what's happening

00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:46.899
 here because

00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:47.699
 seeing that he

00:16:47.699 --> 00:16:48.419
 brought with him

00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:49.500
 not the old

00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:50.399
 tax code but

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.039
 the new tax

00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:51.419
 code

00:16:51.419 --> 00:16:54.019
 and said

00:16:54.019 --> 00:16:54.599
 hey guys

00:16:54.599 --> 00:16:55.179
 I'm here to

00:16:55.179 --> 00:16:55.740
 collect and

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.159
 you owe me

00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:56.519
 more

00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.179
 now needless to

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:00.479
 say it

00:17:00.479 --> 00:17:00.959
 definitely didn't

00:17:00.959 --> 00:17:01.579
 go over very

00:17:01.579 --> 00:17:01.919
 well

00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.019
 because look

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:04.480
 with how the

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:05.339
 response of the

00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:06.099
 people was

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:07.920
 it says

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.240
 and the

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:09.159
 Israel stoned

00:17:09.159 --> 00:17:10.180
 him with stones

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:11.359
 that he died

00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.399
 you know

00:17:13.399 --> 00:17:14.779
 so he goes

00:17:14.779 --> 00:17:15.399
 to do his

00:17:15.399 --> 00:17:15.839
 duty

00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:17.359
 you know

00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.000
 and we see

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:18.759
 here that now

00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:19.399
 the children of

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.440
 Israel do

00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:20.920
 have a

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:21.720
 rebellious

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:22.340
 attitude

00:17:22.340 --> 00:17:25.480
 that sparks

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.120
 up because

00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:26.620
 they do a

00:17:26.620 --> 00:17:28.019
 total rebellious

00:17:28.019 --> 00:17:29.000
 against

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.740
 everything that

00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:31.800
 Rehoboam had

00:17:31.800 --> 00:17:32.220
 commanded

00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:33.259
 he commanded

00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:34.000
 them to collect

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:34.680
 the levy and

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.240
 they said no

00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:35.800
 you're not

00:17:35.800 --> 00:17:38.400
 that's an open

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:39.500
 rebellious attitude

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.220
 towards it isn't

00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:40.440
 it

00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.000
 and we see here

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:42.800
 as they rebelled

00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:43.519
 against these

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.140
 things

00:17:44.140 --> 00:17:46.320
 this rebellious

00:17:46.320 --> 00:17:46.840
 attitude

00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:47.820
 results in

00:17:47.820 --> 00:17:48.960
 Adorim being

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:49.759
 stoned or

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.180
 killed

00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:51.400
 and the news

00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:52.580
 reaches Rehoboam

00:17:52.580 --> 00:17:54.080
 which I imagine

00:17:54.080 --> 00:17:54.860
 came back pretty

00:17:54.860 --> 00:17:55.520
 quick because I

00:17:55.520 --> 00:17:56.020
 imagine he

00:17:56.020 --> 00:17:56.259
 didn't

00:17:56.259 --> 00:17:57.980
 his tax collector

00:17:57.980 --> 00:17:58.880
 didn't go alone

00:17:58.880 --> 00:17:59.640
 so I suspect

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.380
 that somebody

00:18:00.380 --> 00:18:01.160
 came back and

00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:02.000
 told Rehoboam

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:03.020
 and said hey

00:18:03.020 --> 00:18:03.600
 dude this has

00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:04.220
 not turned out

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:04.700
 so well

00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:07.560
 so what's he

00:18:07.560 --> 00:18:08.080
 do notice

00:18:08.080 --> 00:18:08.940
 what he does

00:18:08.940 --> 00:18:12.240
 in this

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:13.039
 because therefore

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.100
 King Rehoboam

00:18:14.100 --> 00:18:15.460
 made speed

00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:16.100
 to get him

00:18:16.100 --> 00:18:16.620
 up to his

00:18:16.620 --> 00:18:17.059
 chariot

00:18:17.059 --> 00:18:17.720
 to flee to

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.180
 Jerusalem

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:19.740
 you know

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:20.880
 so when the

00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:21.820
 news reaches

00:18:21.820 --> 00:18:22.880
 Rehoboam

00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:23.559
 the departure

00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:24.320
 for safety

00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:25.279
 quickly ensues

00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:25.759
 it says he

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.720
 made speed

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:27.140
 to get up

00:18:27.140 --> 00:18:27.380
 to his

00:18:27.380 --> 00:18:27.799
 chariot

00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:29.740
 in other words

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:30.400
 we find

00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.100
 it was probably

00:18:31.100 --> 00:18:31.799
 a pretty rough

00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:32.400
 ride back

00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.000
 to Jerusalem

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:33.460
 because I have

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:33.799
 a feeling

00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:34.400
 the chariot

00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:35.059
 wasn't letting

00:18:35.059 --> 00:18:35.960
 any grass

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:36.360
 grow under

00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:36.799
 the wheels

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.099
 I mean he

00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:39.440
 was heading

00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:39.759
 back

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:40.180
 you say why

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:40.599
 was he heading

00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:41.139
 to Jerusalem

00:18:41.139 --> 00:18:41.759
 because that's

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.180
 where he felt

00:18:42.180 --> 00:18:42.639
 safe

00:18:42.639 --> 00:18:44.839
 remember Jerusalem

00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:45.839
 was a fortified

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:46.359
 city

00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:47.619
 matter of fact

00:18:47.619 --> 00:18:48.220
 a lot of the

00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:49.079
 levy had went

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.159
 into fortifying

00:18:50.159 --> 00:18:50.740
 Jerusalem

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:53.779
 and all the

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:54.599
 things with it

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:56.000
 and so we see

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:56.559
 here as a

00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:57.359
 Rehoboam there

00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.159
 makes speed

00:18:58.159 --> 00:18:59.419
 to go back

00:18:59.419 --> 00:19:00.279
 and notice

00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:01.399
 verse 19

00:19:01.399 --> 00:19:02.559
 what it says

00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:03.319
 so Israel

00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:04.359
 rebelled against

00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:05.099
 the house of

00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:05.720
 David and to

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:06.299
 this day

00:19:06.299 --> 00:19:07.419
 this is when

00:19:07.419 --> 00:19:08.240
 the rebellion

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.740
 the rebellious

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:11.720
 portion came

00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:12.119
 out

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:13.240
 and began

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:14.799
 to manifest

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:15.680
 itself

00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:16.680
 against the

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.180
 house of

00:19:17.180 --> 00:19:17.519
 David

00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:17.919
 and while

00:19:17.919 --> 00:19:18.539
 Rehoboam

00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:19.159
 raced back

00:19:19.159 --> 00:19:19.940
 to Jerusalem

00:19:19.940 --> 00:19:21.180
 the ten

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:21.839
 tribes were

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:22.359
 busy doing

00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:23.000
 something else

00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:25.159
 the ten

00:19:25.159 --> 00:19:25.559
 tribes

00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:26.099
 notice what

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:26.740
 the tribes

00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:27.159
 did

00:19:27.159 --> 00:19:28.559
 because they

00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:28.879
 knew there

00:19:28.879 --> 00:19:29.119
 was going

00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:29.399
 to be a

00:19:29.399 --> 00:19:29.759
 problem

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.139
 and there

00:19:30.139 --> 00:19:30.359
 was going

00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:30.539
 to be

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:31.419
 retaliation

00:19:31.419 --> 00:19:31.720
 I mean

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.119
 I think

00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:32.480
 we pretty

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:32.680
 much

00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:33.220
 understand

00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:33.519
 what's

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:33.720
 going to

00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:33.960
 happen

00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:34.279
 when you

00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:35.240
 kill the

00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:35.559
 king's

00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:35.859
 tax

00:19:35.859 --> 00:19:36.299
 collector

00:19:36.299 --> 00:19:36.579
 he's

00:19:36.579 --> 00:19:36.779
 probably

00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:36.959
 going to

00:19:36.959 --> 00:19:37.179
 be a

00:19:37.179 --> 00:19:37.279
 bit

00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:37.679
 upset

00:19:37.679 --> 00:19:41.299
 I mean

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:41.519
 that's

00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:41.699
 pretty

00:19:41.699 --> 00:19:42.139
 natural

00:19:42.139 --> 00:19:44.259
 so what

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:44.719
 they do

00:19:44.719 --> 00:19:45.039
 is they

00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:45.619
 go find

00:19:45.619 --> 00:19:46.779
 Jeroboam

00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:47.899
 who's in

00:19:47.899 --> 00:19:48.339
 the area

00:19:48.339 --> 00:19:48.819
 because remember

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:49.399
 he was at

00:19:49.399 --> 00:19:49.919
 the meeting

00:19:49.919 --> 00:19:52.339
 he was their

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:53.019
 spokesman

00:19:53.019 --> 00:19:54.379
 he had come

00:19:54.379 --> 00:19:54.919
 back from

00:19:54.919 --> 00:19:55.339
 Egypt

00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:56.959
 he was there

00:19:56.959 --> 00:19:57.259
 and it

00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:58.159
 notices in

00:19:58.159 --> 00:19:58.639
 verse 20

00:19:58.639 --> 00:19:59.079
 and it came

00:19:59.079 --> 00:19:59.599
 to pass

00:19:59.599 --> 00:19:59.979
 when all

00:19:59.979 --> 00:20:00.539
 Israel heard

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:01.240
 that Jeroboam

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:01.639
 was come

00:20:01.639 --> 00:20:01.979
 again

00:20:01.979 --> 00:20:02.779
 that they

00:20:02.779 --> 00:20:03.240
 sent and

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:03.659
 called him

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:04.000
 unto the

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:04.620
 congregation

00:20:04.620 --> 00:20:05.000
 and made

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:05.480
 him king

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:06.000
 over all

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:06.440
 Israel

00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:07.340
 and there

00:20:07.340 --> 00:20:07.840
 was none

00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:08.360
 that followed

00:20:08.360 --> 00:20:08.840
 the house

00:20:08.840 --> 00:20:09.320
 of David

00:20:09.320 --> 00:20:10.019
 but the tribe

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:10.580
 of Judah

00:20:10.580 --> 00:20:11.860
 only

00:20:11.860 --> 00:20:14.060
 so we see

00:20:14.060 --> 00:20:14.400
 here

00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:15.660
 while Rehoboam

00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:16.019
 is heading

00:20:16.019 --> 00:20:16.480
 back to

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:16.940
 Jerusalem

00:20:16.940 --> 00:20:17.680
 the tribes

00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:17.980
 are getting

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:18.519
 together with

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.200
 Jeroboam

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:20.180
 and to make

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:20.860
 him king

00:20:20.860 --> 00:20:21.720
 you know

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:22.640
 they selected

00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:23.320
 the king

00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:25.019
 and said

00:20:25.019 --> 00:20:25.460
 you're going

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:25.900
 to be

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:26.880
 our king

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.080
 the people

00:20:28.080 --> 00:20:29.600
 had given

00:20:29.600 --> 00:20:30.100
 him

00:20:30.099 --> 00:20:31.219
 that authority

00:20:31.219 --> 00:20:32.779
 to place

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:33.159
 in that

00:20:33.159 --> 00:20:33.699
 position

00:20:33.699 --> 00:20:34.659
 now we know

00:20:34.659 --> 00:20:35.199
 God was

00:20:35.199 --> 00:20:35.719
 working in

00:20:35.719 --> 00:20:36.159
 the background

00:20:36.159 --> 00:20:36.579
 this whole

00:20:36.579 --> 00:20:36.899
 time

00:20:36.899 --> 00:20:37.259
 don't we

00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:39.359
 we understand

00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:40.099
 that God

00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:40.539
 had already

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:41.279
 foretold

00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:41.659
 that these

00:20:41.659 --> 00:20:42.039
 things were

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:42.240
 going to

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:42.539
 happen

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:43.959
 that this

00:20:43.959 --> 00:20:44.219
 is the

00:20:44.219 --> 00:20:44.539
 kingdom

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:44.899
 was going

00:20:44.899 --> 00:20:45.099
 to be

00:20:45.099 --> 00:20:45.559
 divided

00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:46.599
 after Solomon's

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:47.000
 death

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.059
 that these

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:48.419
 things were

00:20:48.419 --> 00:20:48.619
 going to

00:20:48.619 --> 00:20:49.419
 come about

00:20:49.419 --> 00:20:50.359
 but I want

00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:50.519
 you to

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:50.959
 understand

00:20:50.959 --> 00:20:51.459
 God

00:20:51.459 --> 00:20:52.480
 allowed

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:53.439
 those things

00:20:53.439 --> 00:20:53.879
 to happen

00:20:53.879 --> 00:20:54.439
 God knew

00:20:54.439 --> 00:20:54.740
 what was

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:54.959
 going to

00:20:54.959 --> 00:20:55.279
 happen

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.059
 God's

00:20:56.059 --> 00:20:56.279
 putting

00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:56.859
 judgment

00:20:56.859 --> 00:20:57.439
 upon the

00:20:57.439 --> 00:20:57.819
 house

00:20:57.819 --> 00:20:58.740
 of David

00:20:58.740 --> 00:20:59.359
 because of

00:20:59.359 --> 00:20:59.959
 Solomon's

00:20:59.959 --> 00:21:00.439
 actions

00:21:00.439 --> 00:21:03.099
 but God's

00:21:03.099 --> 00:21:03.899
 also faithful

00:21:03.899 --> 00:21:04.379
 to keep

00:21:04.379 --> 00:21:04.819
 a lineage

00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:06.759
 God

00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:07.059
 had made

00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:07.599
 a promise

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:08.139
 to David

00:21:08.139 --> 00:21:08.479
 and we

00:21:08.479 --> 00:21:09.159
 looked at

00:21:09.159 --> 00:21:09.899
 that previously

00:21:09.899 --> 00:21:10.559
 a few weeks

00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:10.939
 ago

00:21:10.939 --> 00:21:11.939
 and we

00:21:11.939 --> 00:21:12.619
 see here

00:21:12.619 --> 00:21:14.759
 that the

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.599
 ten tribes

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:16.479
 gathered to

00:21:16.479 --> 00:21:16.899
 make him

00:21:16.899 --> 00:21:17.339
 king

00:21:17.339 --> 00:21:18.399
 just as

00:21:18.399 --> 00:21:18.859
 Ajiah

00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:19.399
 the

00:21:19.399 --> 00:21:20.879
 Shilohanite

00:21:20.879 --> 00:21:21.500
 had shown

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:22.359
 to Jeroboam

00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:22.879
 back in

00:21:22.879 --> 00:21:23.379
 1 Kings

00:21:23.379 --> 00:21:24.199
 chapter 11

00:21:24.199 --> 00:21:24.759
 all these

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:25.159
 things are

00:21:25.159 --> 00:21:25.539
 coming to

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:25.959
 pass

00:21:25.959 --> 00:21:27.439
 all these

00:21:27.439 --> 00:21:27.879
 things are

00:21:27.879 --> 00:21:28.399
 happening

00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:29.600
 directly

00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:30.100
 here

00:21:30.100 --> 00:21:31.360
 now notice

00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:32.360
 with me

00:21:32.360 --> 00:21:32.940
 what takes

00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:33.320
 place

00:21:33.320 --> 00:21:33.740
 because look

00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:34.000
 at verse

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:34.580
 21

00:21:34.580 --> 00:21:35.320
 because now

00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:35.900
 the revolt

00:21:35.900 --> 00:21:36.660
 really happens

00:21:36.660 --> 00:21:37.900
 because you

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:38.280
 think about

00:21:38.280 --> 00:21:39.200
 they've rebelled

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:39.920
 they've stoned

00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:40.420
 the tax

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:40.860
 collector

00:21:40.860 --> 00:21:41.340
 and then they

00:21:41.340 --> 00:21:41.720
 said we're

00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:42.240
 really done

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:42.540
 with you

00:21:42.540 --> 00:21:43.120
 because we've

00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:43.519
 set and

00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:43.940
 established

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:44.380
 our own

00:21:44.380 --> 00:21:44.660
 kingdom

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:46.620
 they put

00:21:46.620 --> 00:21:47.160
 in place

00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:47.600
 a new

00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:48.180
 government

00:21:48.180 --> 00:21:51.900
 it was

00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:52.620
 now open

00:21:52.620 --> 00:21:53.160
 revolt

00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:53.880
 against

00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:55.220
 Rehoboam

00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:57.380
 they said

00:21:57.380 --> 00:21:58.500
 we're just

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:59.020
 not done

00:21:59.020 --> 00:21:59.500
 with you

00:21:59.500 --> 00:21:59.960
 we want

00:21:59.960 --> 00:22:00.360
 absolutely

00:22:00.360 --> 00:22:00.680
 nothing

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:01.060
 to do

00:22:01.060 --> 00:22:01.560
 with you

00:22:01.560 --> 00:22:04.700
 to have

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:05.180
 their own

00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:06.160
 way

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:06.480
 in the

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:06.800
 matter

00:22:06.800 --> 00:22:07.720
 and look

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:07.960
 here

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:08.480
 in verse

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:08.960
 21

00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:09.300
 it says

00:22:09.300 --> 00:22:10.140
 in Rehoboam

00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:11.020
 was come

00:22:11.020 --> 00:22:11.680
 to Jerusalem

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:12.340
 he assembled

00:22:12.340 --> 00:22:12.860
 the house

00:22:12.860 --> 00:22:13.320
 of Judah

00:22:13.320 --> 00:22:14.140
 with the

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:14.660
 tribe of

00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:15.040
 Benjamin

00:22:15.040 --> 00:22:15.860
 104

00:22:15.860 --> 00:22:16.260
 score

00:22:16.260 --> 00:22:16.700
 thousand

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:17.180
 chosen

00:22:17.180 --> 00:22:17.520
 men

00:22:17.520 --> 00:22:17.880
 which were

00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:18.360
 warriors

00:22:18.360 --> 00:22:18.820
 to fight

00:22:18.820 --> 00:22:19.080
 against

00:22:19.080 --> 00:22:19.480
 the house

00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:20.000
 of Israel

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:21.000
 to bring

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:21.519
 the kingdom

00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:22.019
 again

00:22:22.019 --> 00:22:22.839
 to Rehoboam

00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:23.440
 the son

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.859
 of Solomon

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:26.359
 so we see

00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:26.779
 here when

00:22:26.779 --> 00:22:28.160
 Rehoboam

00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:28.819
 gets back

00:22:28.819 --> 00:22:29.599
 to Jerusalem

00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.599
 we find

00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:33.259
 that the

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:34.400
 tribes

00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:34.920
 are setting

00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:35.799
 up Jeroboam

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:36.200
 there's an

00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:37.119
 open revolt

00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:38.160
 happening

00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:39.019
 against him

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:39.900
 and so

00:22:39.900 --> 00:22:40.359
 what does

00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:40.740
 he do

00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:41.680
 Rehoboam

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.099
 does what

00:22:42.099 --> 00:22:42.519
 any good

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:42.880
 king would

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:43.000
 do

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.519
 he rallies

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.099
 the troops

00:22:44.099 --> 00:22:47.779
 now I want

00:22:47.779 --> 00:22:47.940
 you to

00:22:47.940 --> 00:22:48.299
 understand

00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:48.799
 the crowd

00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:49.099
 that he

00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:49.680
 gathered here

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.160
 because he

00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:50.799
 didn't gather

00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:52.259
 just everybody

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:52.779
 off the

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:53.100
 street

00:22:53.100 --> 00:22:55.320
 it says he

00:22:55.320 --> 00:22:55.620
 gathered

00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:57.019
 180,000

00:22:57.019 --> 00:22:57.660
 chosen

00:22:57.660 --> 00:22:58.779
 men

00:22:58.779 --> 00:22:59.279
 that were

00:22:59.279 --> 00:22:59.799
 warriors

00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:01.500
 in other

00:23:01.500 --> 00:23:02.120
 words he

00:23:02.120 --> 00:23:03.620
 had 180,000

00:23:03.620 --> 00:23:04.220
 men that

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:04.620
 had already

00:23:04.620 --> 00:23:05.080
 been in

00:23:05.080 --> 00:23:05.380
 battle

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:06.720
 who have

00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:07.340
 already proved

00:23:07.340 --> 00:23:07.880
 themselves

00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.820
 he was

00:23:10.820 --> 00:23:11.660
 going up

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:12.340
 to take

00:23:12.340 --> 00:23:12.799
 it back

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.500
 he had

00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:16.240
 the manpower

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:16.779
 to do it

00:23:16.779 --> 00:23:17.380
 he had the

00:23:17.380 --> 00:23:18.340
 experience

00:23:18.340 --> 00:23:19.080
 to do it

00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:21.059
 you know

00:23:21.059 --> 00:23:22.500
 because

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:23.879
 we all

00:23:23.879 --> 00:23:24.339
 understand

00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:25.139
 very easily

00:23:25.139 --> 00:23:25.859
 somebody who

00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:26.599
 hasn't faced

00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:26.980
 battle

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:27.539
 somebody from

00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:28.079
 different than

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:28.480
 somebody who

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:28.799
 has

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.019
 he's taking

00:23:31.019 --> 00:23:31.559
 up the guys

00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:31.939
 that already

00:23:31.939 --> 00:23:32.299
 knew what

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:32.500
 they were

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:32.939
 getting into

00:23:32.939 --> 00:23:34.799
 they were

00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:35.240
 ready to

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.480
 go

00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:35.939
 there wasn't

00:23:35.939 --> 00:23:36.220
 going to be

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:36.839
 any delay

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.519
 they were

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:38.939
 ready to

00:23:38.939 --> 00:23:39.599
 move forward

00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:40.179
 with what

00:23:40.179 --> 00:23:41.220
 Rehoboam

00:23:41.220 --> 00:23:41.819
 had wanted

00:23:41.819 --> 00:23:43.399
 in 180,000

00:23:43.399 --> 00:23:43.960
 warriors

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.920
 both of

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:45.299
 Judah

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:46.539
 and of

00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:46.960
 Benjamin

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:49.519
 and so

00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:50.000
 we see

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:50.340
 here this

00:23:50.340 --> 00:23:50.880
 revolt

00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.140
 that takes

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:52.700
 place

00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:53.059
 and their

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:53.799
 intention

00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:54.259
 was to

00:23:54.259 --> 00:23:54.819
 move against

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:55.319
 the northern

00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:55.799
 tribes

00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:56.180
 to put

00:23:56.180 --> 00:23:56.620
 down the

00:23:56.620 --> 00:23:57.000
 revolt

00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:57.500
 against

00:23:57.500 --> 00:23:58.299
 the one

00:23:58.299 --> 00:23:58.980
 they saw

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.500
 that was

00:23:59.500 --> 00:24:00.120
 the rightful

00:24:00.120 --> 00:24:00.740
 heir to

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:01.299
 the kingdom

00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:05.779
 I want you

00:24:05.779 --> 00:24:06.240
 to understand

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:06.740
 the guys

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.339
 he gathered

00:24:07.339 --> 00:24:07.859
 I think

00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:08.359
 were just

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:08.759
 doing what

00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:09.019
 they should

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:09.220
 have been

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:09.500
 doing

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:12.460
 but we're

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:12.639
 going to

00:24:12.639 --> 00:24:13.019
 see what

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.639
 happens here

00:24:13.639 --> 00:24:14.200
 because what

00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:15.019
 happens next

00:24:15.019 --> 00:24:15.700
 is important

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:19.339
 because Rehoboam

00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:19.819
 was still

00:24:19.819 --> 00:24:20.619
 acting out of

00:24:20.619 --> 00:24:21.139
 his own

00:24:21.139 --> 00:24:21.980
 self-interest

00:24:21.980 --> 00:24:23.599
 wanting to

00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:23.879
 do what

00:24:23.879 --> 00:24:24.339
 he wanted

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:24.940
 to do

00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:26.319
 Rehoboam

00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:26.759
 was doing

00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:27.399
 the exact

00:24:27.399 --> 00:24:27.899
 thing

00:24:27.899 --> 00:24:29.379
 spiritually

00:24:29.379 --> 00:24:30.079
 that the

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:30.759
 northern tribes

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.119
 were doing

00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:31.500
 to him

00:24:31.500 --> 00:24:31.919
 physically

00:24:31.919 --> 00:24:35.679
 because he

00:24:35.679 --> 00:24:36.519
 rejected the

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:36.979
 things of

00:24:36.979 --> 00:24:37.379
 God

00:24:37.379 --> 00:24:38.819
 he rebelled

00:24:38.819 --> 00:24:39.339
 against the

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:39.779
 things of

00:24:39.779 --> 00:24:40.099
 God

00:24:40.099 --> 00:24:40.599
 and ultimately

00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:40.899
 we're going

00:24:40.899 --> 00:24:41.279
 to see a

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:41.959
 revolt against

00:24:41.959 --> 00:24:42.359
 the things

00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:42.839
 of God

00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:45.799
 but notice

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.299
 what God

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:47.979
 intervenes

00:24:47.979 --> 00:24:48.899
 because something

00:24:48.899 --> 00:24:49.679
 happens here

00:24:49.679 --> 00:24:50.439
 that turns the

00:24:50.439 --> 00:24:51.339
 narrative

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:52.399
 completely around

00:24:52.399 --> 00:24:53.500
 because I want

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.019
 you to see the

00:24:54.019 --> 00:24:54.719
 picture of what's

00:24:54.719 --> 00:24:55.359
 happening because

00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:56.299
 here's Rehoboam

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:58.479
 he's got 180,000

00:24:58.479 --> 00:24:59.639
 men ready to go

00:24:59.639 --> 00:25:00.459
 armed up

00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:02.720
 supplied up

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:03.840
 they're ready

00:25:03.840 --> 00:25:04.279
 to leave

00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:04.680
 town

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.140
 they're ready

00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:08.500
 to leave

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:08.799
 town

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.539
 ready to go

00:25:09.539 --> 00:25:10.079
 take care of

00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:10.559
 business

00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:16.519
 and God

00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:17.299
 intervenes

00:25:17.299 --> 00:25:21.200
 he intervenes

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:21.759
 with a man

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:23.660
 and I want you

00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:24.180
 to see something

00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:24.940
 important here

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:25.440
 about this

00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:25.900
 individual

00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:26.640
 because look

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.460
 at verse 22

00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:30.640
 all this is

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:31.080
 happening

00:25:31.080 --> 00:25:31.480
 and then in

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:32.160
 verse 22

00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:33.360
 it says

00:25:33.360 --> 00:25:33.780
 but

00:25:33.780 --> 00:25:36.300
 the word of

00:25:36.300 --> 00:25:37.000
 God came

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:37.900
 unto Shemai

00:25:37.900 --> 00:25:39.280
 the man

00:25:39.280 --> 00:25:39.940
 of God

00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:41.660
 saying

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:42.340
 speak unto

00:25:42.340 --> 00:25:42.960
 Rehoboam

00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:43.540
 the son of

00:25:43.540 --> 00:25:43.920
 Solomon

00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:44.420
 king of

00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:44.700
 Judah

00:25:44.700 --> 00:25:45.420
 and unto

00:25:45.420 --> 00:25:45.860
 all the

00:25:45.860 --> 00:25:46.400
 house of

00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:46.900
 Judah and

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:47.320
 Benjamin

00:25:47.320 --> 00:25:47.960
 and to

00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:48.420
 the remnant

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:48.720
 of the

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:49.080
 people

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:50.740
 now

00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:54.139
 I want you

00:25:54.139 --> 00:25:54.799
 to understand

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.259
 here

00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:57.019
 a little bit

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:57.639
 because I want

00:25:57.639 --> 00:25:58.899
 to look here

00:25:58.899 --> 00:26:00.240
 at Shemai

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:00.619
 here

00:26:00.619 --> 00:26:01.119
 the man

00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:01.819
 of God

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:03.339
 because he

00:26:03.339 --> 00:26:04.079
 enters in a

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:04.679
 very difficult

00:26:04.679 --> 00:26:05.179
 time

00:26:05.179 --> 00:26:08.339
 he entered in

00:26:08.339 --> 00:26:08.699
 some pretty

00:26:08.699 --> 00:26:09.599
 perilous times

00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:12.279
 I mean when

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:13.159
 everybody's prepared

00:26:13.159 --> 00:26:14.019
 to go to war

00:26:14.019 --> 00:26:14.919
 and here he is

00:26:14.919 --> 00:26:15.399
 he gets the

00:26:15.399 --> 00:26:16.179
 word of God

00:26:16.180 --> 00:26:18.080
 the man of

00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:18.400
 God

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:18.980
 hears from

00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:19.380
 God

00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:19.720
 and says

00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:20.019
 this is what

00:26:20.019 --> 00:26:20.360
 I want

00:26:20.360 --> 00:26:20.880
 you to do

00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:24.180
 he says

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:24.860
 I want you

00:26:24.860 --> 00:26:25.320
 to go out

00:26:25.320 --> 00:26:25.960
 in front

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.840
 of 180

00:26:26.840 --> 00:26:27.480
 thousand

00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:28.360
 soldiers

00:26:28.360 --> 00:26:28.720
 that are

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:29.019
 ready to

00:26:29.019 --> 00:26:29.259
 go to

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:29.580
 battle

00:26:29.580 --> 00:26:31.019
 that are

00:26:31.019 --> 00:26:31.380
 upset

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:31.900
 that their

00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:32.320
 king has

00:26:32.320 --> 00:26:32.519
 been

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.100
 deposed

00:26:33.100 --> 00:26:35.340
 with a

00:26:35.340 --> 00:26:35.880
 king that's

00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:36.320
 mad he's

00:26:36.320 --> 00:26:37.100
 been deposed

00:26:37.100 --> 00:26:39.560
 and your

00:26:39.560 --> 00:26:40.200
 message to

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:40.560
 him is

00:26:40.560 --> 00:26:41.019
 go home

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:45.960
 to me that

00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:46.220
 doesn't

00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:46.700
 sound like

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.019
 an easy

00:26:47.019 --> 00:26:47.579
 message to

00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:47.819
 bring

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:52.140
 I would

00:26:52.140 --> 00:26:52.519
 say that's

00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:52.960
 probably a

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.500
 pretty hostile

00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:54.019
 crowd

00:26:54.019 --> 00:26:57.440
 to that

00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:58.120
 message that

00:26:58.120 --> 00:26:58.299
 would have

00:26:58.299 --> 00:26:58.539
 been a

00:26:58.539 --> 00:26:59.240
 pretty hostile

00:26:59.240 --> 00:26:59.779
 crowd

00:26:59.779 --> 00:27:01.600
 but it was

00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:02.140
 a man of

00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:02.360
 God

00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:03.579
 enters with

00:27:03.579 --> 00:27:04.220
 the clamor

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:04.860
 of war all

00:27:04.860 --> 00:27:05.299
 around

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:06.680
 now I want

00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:07.180
 you to notice

00:27:07.180 --> 00:27:07.759
 something here

00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:09.120
 because Shemaiah

00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:09.940
 here we don't

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:10.440
 know anything

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.240
 really specific

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:11.860
 about him

00:27:11.859 --> 00:27:14.659
 but he's

00:27:14.659 --> 00:27:15.139
 got a good

00:27:15.139 --> 00:27:15.939
 attribute that

00:27:15.939 --> 00:27:16.599
 God attaches

00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:17.039
 to him

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:20.039
 that makes

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.319
 a big

00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:21.000
 statement when

00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:21.519
 it says

00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:22.939
 the man of

00:27:22.939 --> 00:27:23.279
 God

00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.579
 we might

00:27:26.579 --> 00:27:26.939
 not know

00:27:26.939 --> 00:27:27.479
 much about

00:27:27.479 --> 00:27:27.859
 where he

00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:28.500
 came from

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:29.019
 or who he

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:29.699
 is but it

00:27:29.699 --> 00:27:30.199
 tells us a

00:27:30.199 --> 00:27:30.779
 lot about his

00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:31.359
 character and

00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:31.579
 what he

00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:32.000
 believed

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:35.479
 because when

00:27:35.479 --> 00:27:35.939
 you look at

00:27:35.939 --> 00:27:36.619
 that phrase

00:27:36.619 --> 00:27:37.259
 of man of

00:27:37.259 --> 00:27:37.699
 God

00:27:37.699 --> 00:27:39.899
 that's

00:27:39.899 --> 00:27:40.779
 directly attached

00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:41.359
 to Moses

00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:41.839
 and his

00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:42.359
 authority

00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.379
 the Bible

00:27:45.379 --> 00:27:46.079
 says Moses

00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:46.619
 a man of

00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:46.979
 God

00:27:46.979 --> 00:27:51.679
 that authority

00:27:51.679 --> 00:27:53.139
 that connects

00:27:53.139 --> 00:27:53.819
 with that

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:54.599
 by following

00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:55.779
 what God

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:56.199
 would have

00:27:56.199 --> 00:27:56.779
 to say

00:27:56.779 --> 00:27:57.539
 and here

00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:58.279
 Shemaiah

00:27:58.279 --> 00:27:58.899
 here is

00:27:58.899 --> 00:28:00.019
 simply had

00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:00.279
 to have

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.899
 faith in

00:28:00.899 --> 00:28:01.219
 the word

00:28:01.219 --> 00:28:01.779
 of God

00:28:01.779 --> 00:28:03.899
 but I

00:28:03.899 --> 00:28:04.279
 think he

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:04.799
 understood

00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:05.539
 something

00:28:05.539 --> 00:28:07.039
 very important

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:07.379
 that he

00:28:07.379 --> 00:28:07.919
 needed to

00:28:07.919 --> 00:28:08.419
 follow the

00:28:08.419 --> 00:28:08.759
 word of

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:09.099
 God

00:28:09.099 --> 00:28:10.119
 because look

00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:10.519
 back in

00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:11.019
 Deuteronomy

00:28:11.019 --> 00:28:11.639
 chapter 8

00:28:11.639 --> 00:28:11.960
 for a

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.160
 moment

00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:14.379
 because this

00:28:14.379 --> 00:28:14.660
 is where

00:28:14.660 --> 00:28:15.220
 this becomes

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:15.980
 very practical

00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:16.559
 to us

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:17.119
 today

00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:20.740
 as we're

00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:20.960
 going to

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:21.619
 look because

00:28:21.619 --> 00:28:22.259
 notice here

00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:23.039
 in Deuteronomy

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.879
 chapter 8

00:28:23.879 --> 00:28:25.680
 look here in

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:26.319
 verse 3

00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:26.859
 because there's

00:28:26.859 --> 00:28:27.519
 something important

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:28.139
 about that the

00:28:28.139 --> 00:28:29.000
 man of God

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.440
 did something

00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:31.000
 when he heard

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:31.500
 the word of

00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:31.839
 God

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:33.920
 because notice

00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:34.200
 here in

00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:34.660
 Deuteronomy

00:28:34.660 --> 00:28:35.139
 chapter 8

00:28:35.139 --> 00:28:35.599
 look down in

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:36.180
 verse 3

00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:37.259
 and he

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:37.680
 says this

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:37.880
 and he

00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:38.160
 humbled

00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:38.519
 thee and

00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:38.840
 suffered

00:28:38.840 --> 00:28:39.160
 thee to

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.460
 hunger

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:39.900
 and fed

00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:40.240
 thee with

00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:40.700
 manna

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:41.480
 which thou

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:41.880
 knowest

00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:42.140
 not

00:28:42.140 --> 00:28:42.640
 neither did

00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:43.240
 thy fathers

00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:43.420
 know

00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:43.940
 now notice

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:44.320
 here

00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:45.100
 that he

00:28:45.100 --> 00:28:45.720
 might make

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:46.100
 thee to

00:28:46.100 --> 00:28:46.380
 know

00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:46.920
 that man

00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:47.380
 doth not

00:28:47.380 --> 00:28:47.880
 live by

00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:48.519
 bread alone

00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:49.019
 but every

00:28:49.019 --> 00:28:49.560
 word that

00:28:49.560 --> 00:28:50.080
 proceedeth

00:28:50.080 --> 00:28:50.480
 out of the

00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:50.960
 mouth of

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.299
 God

00:28:51.299 --> 00:28:52.279
 doth man

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:52.759
 live

00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:55.120
 now

00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:56.100
 here's your

00:28:56.100 --> 00:28:56.640
 Bible trivia

00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:57.259
 question for

00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:57.860
 Wednesday night

00:28:57.860 --> 00:29:01.120

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:04.380
 New Testament

00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:10.200
 who

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:10.860
 quoted

00:29:10.860 --> 00:29:11.200
 it

00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:13.480
 and what

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:13.860
 event

00:29:13.860 --> 00:29:16.440
 when

00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:16.740
 Satan

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:16.980
 was

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:17.360
 tempting

00:29:17.360 --> 00:29:17.819
 him

00:29:17.819 --> 00:29:19.519
 that's

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:19.940
 the verse

00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:20.480
 that Jesus

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:21.279
 quoted back

00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:21.559
 to the

00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:21.839

00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:22.839
 man

00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:23.259
 doth not

00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:23.640
 live by

00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:23.900

00:29:23.900 --> 00:29:24.180
 alone

00:29:24.180 --> 00:29:24.339
 but

 every

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:24.700
 word

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:24.839
 that

00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:25.299
 proceedeth

00:29:25.299 --> 00:29:25.519
 out of

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:25.599
 the

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:25.799
 mouth

00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:25.960
 of

00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:26.339
 God

00:29:26.339 --> 00:29:30.160
 Shemaiah

00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:30.640
 understood

00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:31.560
 one thing

00:29:31.560 --> 00:29:31.980
 that the

00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:32.400
 word of

00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:32.759
 God

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:33.460
 had an

00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:33.940
 importance

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:36.140
 it had

00:29:36.140 --> 00:29:36.840
 a priority

00:29:36.840 --> 00:29:39.440
 he said

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:39.820
 I don't

00:29:39.820 --> 00:29:40.160
 need to

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.640
 worry so

00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.140
 much about

00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:41.640
 what these

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:42.180
 guys can

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:42.400
 do

00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:42.759
 I need

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:43.160
 to worry

00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:43.640
 about what

00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:44.060
 God

00:29:44.060 --> 00:29:44.720
 has held

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:45.160
 me account

00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:45.420
 to

00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:47.800
 and here's

00:29:47.800 --> 00:29:48.420
 an individual

00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:49.060
 I guarantee

00:29:49.060 --> 00:29:49.800
 he had to

00:29:49.800 --> 00:29:51.200
 be by no

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.560
 doubt a

00:29:51.560 --> 00:29:52.240
 man's man

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:52.740
 to stand

00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:53.200
 up and a

00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:53.540
 man of

00:29:53.540 --> 00:29:53.940
 God to

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:54.280
 say I'm

00:29:54.280 --> 00:29:54.640
 willing to

00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:55.420
 trust God

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:56.120
 at the

00:29:56.120 --> 00:29:56.480
 word of

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:56.900
 God to

00:29:56.900 --> 00:29:57.340
 go before

00:29:57.340 --> 00:29:58.759
 180,000

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.940
 men ready

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:00.500
 for battle

00:30:00.500 --> 00:30:03.220
 along with

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:03.740
 a king

00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:04.380
 that's at

00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:04.779
 his heart

00:30:04.779 --> 00:30:05.299
 set on

00:30:05.299 --> 00:30:05.660
 battle

00:30:05.660 --> 00:30:07.799
 to take

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.400
 back and

00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:08.940
 and he

00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:09.539
 goes

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:12.960
 because the

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:13.339
 word of

00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:14.160
 God came

00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:14.779
 to him

00:30:14.779 --> 00:30:16.279
 and expressed

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:16.779
 to him

00:30:16.779 --> 00:30:17.200
 and gave him

00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:17.900
 direction of

00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:18.339
 what he was

00:30:18.339 --> 00:30:18.779
 supposed to

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.140
 do

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:20.079
 it says

00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:20.500
 the word

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:20.980
 of God

00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:21.599
 came unto

00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:22.140
 Shemaiah

00:30:22.140 --> 00:30:23.059

00:30:23.700 --> 00:30:27.299
 I want you

00:30:27.299 --> 00:30:27.839
 to understand

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:28.339
 that why

00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:28.680
 could he

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.240
 stand up

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:29.700
 in such a

00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:30.099
 perilous

00:30:30.099 --> 00:30:30.599
 time as

00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:30.779
 this

00:30:30.779 --> 00:30:31.299
 because he

00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:31.939
 was already

00:30:31.939 --> 00:30:33.659
 had trusted

00:30:33.659 --> 00:30:34.419
 God before

00:30:34.419 --> 00:30:34.839
 because he

00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:35.079
 was a

 happen by

00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.240
 flipping a

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:41.539
 switch

00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:45.799
 it's somebody

00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:46.279
 who's been

00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:47.079

00:30:49.099 --> 00:30:52.299
 somebody that

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:53.259
 understands what

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:53.879
 the conflict

00:30:53.879 --> 00:30:54.539
 is like

00:30:54.539 --> 00:30:58.139
 you might

00:30:58.139 --> 00:30:58.579
 say why

00:30:58.579 --> 00:30:59.039
 the men

00:30:59.039 --> 00:30:59.339

 he's talking

00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:13.460
 about the

00:33:13.460 --> 00:33:13.780
 word of

00:33:13.780 --> 00:33:14.060
 God

00:33:14.060 --> 00:33:17.220
 he's talking

00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:17.560
 about the

00:33:17.560 --> 00:33:17.960
 word of

00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:18.259
 God

00:33:18.259 --> 00:33:18.980
 very directly

00:33:18.980 --> 00:33:19.220
 here

00:33:19.220 --> 00:33:19.900
 now notice

00:33:19.900 --> 00:33:20.960
 with me

00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:21.300
 it says

00:33:21.300 --> 00:33:22.200
 given by

00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:22.820
 inspiration

00:33:22.820 --> 00:33:23.120
 God

00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:23.759
 is profitable

00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:24.640
 for doctrine

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:25.380
 for reproof

00:33:25.380 --> 00:33:26.040
 for correction

00:33:26.040 --> 00:33:27.480
 for instruction

00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:28.400
 in righteousness

00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:29.220
 now look at

00:33:29.220 --> 00:33:29.620
 that next

00:33:29.620 --> 00:33:29.980
 phrase

00:33:29.980 --> 00:33:30.880
 in verse 17

00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:32.900
 why are all

00:33:32.900 --> 00:33:33.420
 these things

00:33:33.420 --> 00:33:33.600
 there

00:33:33.600 --> 00:33:34.140
 why is the

00:33:34.140 --> 00:33:34.460
 word of

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:34.700
 God

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:35.000
 there

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:36.320
 that the

00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:36.820
 man of

00:33:36.820 --> 00:33:37.120
 God

00:33:37.120 --> 00:33:37.500
 may be

00:33:37.500 --> 00:33:37.820
 what

00:33:37.820 --> 00:33:39.380
 perfect

00:33:39.380 --> 00:33:39.820
 that word

00:33:39.820 --> 00:33:40.320
 perfect

00:33:40.320 --> 00:33:41.259
 means mature

00:33:41.259 --> 00:33:43.740
 means growing

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:44.400
 up

00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:46.900
 literally means

00:33:46.900 --> 00:33:47.519
 tested

00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:52.759
 thoroughly

00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:53.339
 furnished

00:33:53.339 --> 00:33:53.740
 that means

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:54.299
 to equip

00:33:54.299 --> 00:33:55.200
 to accomplish

00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:57.879
 has what's

00:33:57.879 --> 00:33:58.400
 needed to

00:33:58.400 --> 00:33:59.019
 accomplish

00:33:59.019 --> 00:33:59.779
 to be a

00:33:59.779 --> 00:34:00.119
 man of

00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:00.440
 God

00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:01.059
 in perilous

00:34:01.059 --> 00:34:01.519
 times

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:03.640
 to do

00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:04.039
 what's

00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:04.319
 needed

00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:04.740
 is by

00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:05.140
 the word

00:34:05.140 --> 00:34:05.700
 of God

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:06.799
 unto all

00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:07.440
 good works

00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:07.819
 that means

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:08.179
 there's some

00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:08.619
 action

00:34:08.619 --> 00:34:09.380
 behind it

00:34:09.380 --> 00:34:12.519
 and we

00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:13.160
 see here

00:34:13.160 --> 00:34:13.559
 when the

00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:13.900
 word of

00:34:13.900 --> 00:34:14.220
 God

00:34:14.220 --> 00:34:14.680
 came to

00:34:14.680 --> 00:34:15.160
 Shemaiah

00:34:15.160 --> 00:34:15.980
 he had

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:16.280
 to take

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:16.500
 some

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:17.099
 action

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:17.400
 upon

00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:17.740
 what

00:34:17.740 --> 00:34:18.019
 God

00:34:18.019 --> 00:34:18.460
 said

00:34:18.460 --> 00:34:21.380
 he had

00:34:21.380 --> 00:34:21.480
 a

00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:22.240
 responsibility

00:34:22.240 --> 00:34:22.900
 to do

00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:23.160
 something

00:34:23.160 --> 00:34:23.500
 with it

00:34:23.500 --> 00:34:23.680
 didn't

00:34:23.680 --> 00:34:23.880
 he

00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:25.840
 because

00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:26.180
 notice

00:34:26.180 --> 00:34:26.400
 what

00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:26.700
 God

00:34:26.700 --> 00:34:27.099
 told

00:34:27.099 --> 00:34:27.260
 him

00:34:27.260 --> 00:34:27.599
 he said

00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:27.740
 that

00:34:27.740 --> 00:34:28.039
 but the

00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:28.559
 word

00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:28.720
 of

00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:28.980
 God

00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:29.240
 came

00:34:29.240 --> 00:34:29.420
 unto

00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:29.800
 Shemaiah

00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:30.220
 the man

00:34:30.220 --> 00:34:31.640
 of

00:34:31.640 --> 00:34:31.960
 God

00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:32.400
 saying

00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:32.920
 speak

00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:33.140
 unto

00:34:33.140 --> 00:34:33.760
 Rehoboam

00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:34.180
 the son

00:34:34.180 --> 00:34:34.340
 of

00:34:34.340 --> 00:34:34.680
 Solomon

00:34:34.680 --> 00:34:35.000
 king

00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:35.180
 of

00:34:35.180 --> 00:34:35.460
 Judah

00:34:35.460 --> 00:34:36.160
 and

00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:36.660
 unto all

00:34:36.660 --> 00:34:37.220
 the house

00:34:37.220 --> 00:34:37.660
 of Judah

00:34:37.660 --> 00:34:38.200
 and Benjamin

00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:38.859
 that's in other words

00:34:38.859 --> 00:34:40.299
 he's supposed to be up in front of the king

00:34:40.299 --> 00:34:41.259
 and all these warriors

00:34:41.259 --> 00:34:44.719
 and all the other people that gathered to send him off

00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:48.319
 it'd been a pretty intimidating crowd

00:34:48.319 --> 00:34:51.699
 you know

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:52.319
 I don't know about you

00:34:52.319 --> 00:34:54.439
 but facing a couple hundred thousand people

00:34:54.439 --> 00:34:55.679
 it'd probably be a little intimidating

00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.699
 as he's there

00:34:59.699 --> 00:35:01.159
 God commands him to go

00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:03.199
 saying

00:35:03.879 --> 00:35:05.439
 now notice what he's supposed to tell

00:35:05.439 --> 00:35:06.419
 he's supposed to tell him

00:35:06.420 --> 00:35:08.500
 thus

00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:09.940
 saith the Lord

00:35:09.940 --> 00:35:13.019
 ye shall not go up

00:35:13.019 --> 00:35:15.039
 nor fight against your brethren

00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:15.980
 the children of Israel

00:35:15.980 --> 00:35:19.180
 return every man to his house

00:35:19.180 --> 00:35:20.780
 for this thing is from me

00:35:20.780 --> 00:35:22.360
 they hearken therefore

00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:23.400
 to the word of the Lord

00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:24.019
 and return

00:35:24.019 --> 00:35:25.099
 to depart

00:35:25.099 --> 00:35:26.300
 according to the word

00:35:26.300 --> 00:35:27.019
 of

00:35:27.019 --> 00:35:27.900
 the Lord

00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:31.680
 now I want you to understand

00:35:31.680 --> 00:35:32.680
 something important here

00:35:32.680 --> 00:35:34.019
 because God didn't send

00:35:34.019 --> 00:35:34.840
 old counselors

00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:35.680
 the young counselors

00:35:35.680 --> 00:35:36.680
 to talk to Rehoboam

00:35:36.680 --> 00:35:39.980
 who did God send

00:35:39.980 --> 00:35:41.000
 to talk to Rehoboam

00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.740
 the man of God

00:35:43.740 --> 00:35:46.900
 why is he a man of God

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:47.900
 because he was a man

00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:48.700
 that followed

00:35:48.700 --> 00:35:49.640
 and understood

00:35:49.640 --> 00:35:50.340
 the importance

00:35:50.340 --> 00:35:51.260
 of the word of God

00:35:51.260 --> 00:35:57.380
 the two are interconnected

00:35:57.380 --> 00:36:01.599
 because if the word of God

00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:02.599
 equips us

00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:03.220
 to grow up

00:36:03.220 --> 00:36:04.019
 and be mature

00:36:04.019 --> 00:36:07.440
 the only way to be a man of God

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:08.579
 is to have the word of God

00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:12.760
 the two are interconnected

00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:17.840
 and it gives us authority

00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:18.640
 to speak

00:36:18.640 --> 00:36:19.780
 as God would speak

00:36:19.780 --> 00:36:20.200
 look over

00:36:20.200 --> 00:36:21.140
 back at the New Testament

00:36:21.140 --> 00:36:22.480
 turn over to Titus chapter 2

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:23.039
 for a moment

00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:25.320
 Titus chapter 2

00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:33.820
 look at what the apostle Paul

00:36:33.820 --> 00:36:34.600
 tells Titus

00:36:34.600 --> 00:36:35.460
 in regards to this

00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:36.220
 because Titus

00:36:36.220 --> 00:36:37.180
 was a man of God

00:36:37.180 --> 00:36:40.940
 notice what he tells him here

00:36:40.940 --> 00:36:41.360
 he says

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:42.460
 these things

00:36:42.460 --> 00:36:43.620
 speak and exhort

00:36:43.620 --> 00:36:44.400
 and rebuke

00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:44.900
 with what

00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:45.380
 all

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:47.380
 authority

00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:49.519
 let no man

00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:50.400
 despise thee

00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:52.280
 you know

00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:52.620
 the one thing

00:36:52.620 --> 00:36:53.480
 we always have to keep

00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:53.940
 in mind

00:36:53.940 --> 00:36:54.619
 when you speak

00:36:54.619 --> 00:36:55.740
 the word of God

00:36:55.740 --> 00:36:57.400
 you're speaking

00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:58.220
 with authority

00:36:58.220 --> 00:37:02.320
 not your authority

00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:03.360
 but God's authority

00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:06.659
 God is the one

00:37:06.659 --> 00:37:07.500
 that gives

00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:08.300
 and equips us

00:37:08.300 --> 00:37:09.019
 with the authority

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:12.539
 the problem is

00:37:12.539 --> 00:37:13.220
 that Rehoboam

00:37:13.220 --> 00:37:14.480
 listened to other authorities

00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:15.659
 that were their own authorities

00:37:15.659 --> 00:37:18.480
 instead of listened

00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:19.400
 to the true authority

00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.820
 and so as we see here

00:37:22.820 --> 00:37:23.160
 tonight

00:37:23.160 --> 00:37:23.780
 we see here

00:37:23.780 --> 00:37:25.539
 that Shemaiah

00:37:25.539 --> 00:37:26.880
 does exactly that

00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:28.220
 he comes with authority

00:37:28.220 --> 00:37:29.079
 into the presence

00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:29.800
 of the king

00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:30.900
 preparing

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:32.220
 has prepared his army

00:37:32.220 --> 00:37:32.920
 for battle

00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:34.019
 and you think about

00:37:34.019 --> 00:37:35.079
 his opening statement

00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:35.900
 here that's recorded

00:37:35.900 --> 00:37:36.440
 for us

00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:37.619
 you imagine

00:37:37.619 --> 00:37:38.240
 standing there

00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:38.880
 in front of a couple

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:40.000
 hundred thousand people

00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:41.619
 and say

00:37:41.619 --> 00:37:42.380
 listen up

00:37:42.380 --> 00:37:44.539
 thus saith the Lord

00:37:44.539 --> 00:37:47.519
 you guys are going

00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:48.159
 to go home

00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:52.800
 yeah

00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:54.840
 tell you what

00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:57.340
 that took a mature

00:37:57.340 --> 00:37:58.960
 person

00:37:58.960 --> 00:37:59.659
 that understood

00:37:59.659 --> 00:38:00.500
 the authority

00:38:00.500 --> 00:38:01.440
 of the word of God

00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:03.500
 to speak

00:38:03.500 --> 00:38:04.279
 with authority

00:38:04.279 --> 00:38:05.880
 he wasn't speaking

00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:06.659
 of himself

00:38:06.659 --> 00:38:07.460
 notice he says

00:38:07.460 --> 00:38:08.900
 this is not what I think

00:38:08.900 --> 00:38:10.360
 he says

00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:11.699
 thus saith the Lord

00:38:11.699 --> 00:38:15.059
 ye shall not go up

00:38:15.059 --> 00:38:16.619
 nor fight against

00:38:16.619 --> 00:38:17.139
 your brethren

00:38:17.139 --> 00:38:18.039
 the children of Israel

00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:19.659
 return every man

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:20.579
 to his house

00:38:20.579 --> 00:38:21.939
 for this thing

00:38:21.939 --> 00:38:22.659
 is from me

00:38:22.659 --> 00:38:23.079
 in other words

00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:23.359
 he says

00:38:23.359 --> 00:38:24.159
 the Lord says

00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:25.219
 go home

00:38:25.219 --> 00:38:26.259
 because what's happening

00:38:26.259 --> 00:38:26.559
 here

00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:27.460
 I have allowed

00:38:27.460 --> 00:38:27.960
 to happen

00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.960
 this is under

00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:31.859
 my authority

00:38:31.859 --> 00:38:34.480
 God brings

00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:35.699
 it very clear

00:38:35.699 --> 00:38:36.519
 he's speaking

00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:38.359
 for the God

00:38:38.359 --> 00:38:38.980
 of Israel

00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:40.079
 as the authority

00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:40.879
 not himself

00:38:40.879 --> 00:38:41.359
 because

00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:42.260
 I want you

00:38:42.260 --> 00:38:42.620
 to notice

00:38:42.620 --> 00:38:43.019
 something here

00:38:43.019 --> 00:38:43.440
 because there's

00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:43.900
 some wording

00:38:43.900 --> 00:38:44.099
 here

00:38:44.099 --> 00:38:44.460
 it's important

00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:45.220
 because he hears

00:38:45.220 --> 00:38:46.300
 the word of God

00:38:46.300 --> 00:38:47.660
 and then he says

00:38:47.660 --> 00:38:49.460
 thus saith the Lord

00:38:49.460 --> 00:38:50.280
 the word Lord

00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:50.680
 there

00:38:50.680 --> 00:38:52.760
 he's directly

00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:53.460
 referencing

00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:54.620
 that the Israelites

00:38:54.620 --> 00:38:55.480
 would have heard

00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:56.559
 he was directly

00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:57.140
 referencing

00:38:57.140 --> 00:38:57.640
 the God

00:38:57.640 --> 00:38:58.039
 of Abraham

00:38:58.039 --> 00:38:58.519
 Isaac

00:38:58.519 --> 00:38:59.120
 and Jacob

00:38:59.120 --> 00:39:00.300
 the same authority

00:39:00.300 --> 00:39:00.920
 that Moses

00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:01.800
 the law giver

00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:05.780
 Shemaiah was given

00:39:05.780 --> 00:39:07.039
 this authority

00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:07.700
 and just say

00:39:07.700 --> 00:39:08.200
 hey guys

00:39:08.200 --> 00:39:09.000
 this is the same

00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:09.840
 one who gave

00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:10.599
 you the law

00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:12.380
 and all the things

00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:12.940
 that we're supposed

00:39:12.940 --> 00:39:13.480
 to be doing

00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:14.319
 everything's been

00:39:14.319 --> 00:39:14.699
 laid out

00:39:14.699 --> 00:39:15.380
 this is the same

00:39:15.380 --> 00:39:16.279
 God that's speaking

00:39:16.279 --> 00:39:17.079
 unto you today

00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:19.900
 that you better

00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:20.920
 pay attention to

00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:21.819
 he says

00:39:21.819 --> 00:39:23.039
 thus saith the Lord

00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:23.679
 he's speaking

00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:24.500
 with authority

00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:25.659
 because of the God

00:39:25.659 --> 00:39:26.960
 who sent him

00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:29.179
 and Shemaiah

00:39:29.179 --> 00:39:29.920
 brings the word

00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:30.539
 of God

00:39:30.539 --> 00:39:32.759
 with authority

00:39:32.759 --> 00:39:33.599
 but not knowing

00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:34.380
 the response

00:39:34.380 --> 00:39:38.220
 you know

00:39:38.220 --> 00:39:38.900
 early in the

00:39:38.900 --> 00:39:39.760
 kingdom of Israel

00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:40.500
 you'll find

00:39:40.500 --> 00:39:41.180
 something that

00:39:41.180 --> 00:39:42.180
 prophets

00:39:42.180 --> 00:39:43.140
 kind of had a

00:39:43.140 --> 00:39:44.660
 you might say

00:39:44.660 --> 00:39:45.720
 an exemption card

00:39:45.720 --> 00:39:48.840
 because you think

00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:49.039
 about

00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:49.579
 well how did

00:39:49.579 --> 00:39:50.700
 Samuel the prophet

00:39:50.700 --> 00:39:51.559
 address Saul

00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.200
 Saul was a king

00:39:54.200 --> 00:39:54.940
 but Samuel was

00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:55.500
 pretty bold

00:39:55.500 --> 00:39:55.920
 just saying

00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:57.860
 Saul you messed

00:39:57.860 --> 00:39:58.380
 up

00:39:58.380 --> 00:40:01.640
 you know

00:40:01.640 --> 00:40:02.300
 Saul didn't

00:40:02.300 --> 00:40:03.300
 respond harshly

00:40:03.300 --> 00:40:03.920
 back to him

00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:08.080
 there was that

00:40:08.080 --> 00:40:08.660
 respect

00:40:08.660 --> 00:40:09.280
 because there's

00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:09.780
 one that was

00:40:09.780 --> 00:40:10.480
 a man of God

00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:11.140
 attached to the

00:40:11.140 --> 00:40:11.820
 word of God

00:40:11.820 --> 00:40:14.360
 think about

00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:14.880
 David

00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:17.560
 Nathan

00:40:17.560 --> 00:40:19.980
 I mean

00:40:19.980 --> 00:40:20.480
 you think about

00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:21.420
 Nathan addressing

00:40:21.420 --> 00:40:22.180
 David after

00:40:22.180 --> 00:40:24.300
 David sinned

00:40:24.300 --> 00:40:26.440
 yeah

00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:27.100
 he enters

00:40:27.100 --> 00:40:27.480
 into the

00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:28.060
 conversation

00:40:28.060 --> 00:40:28.900
 a little softly

00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:29.660
 you might say

00:40:29.659 --> 00:40:30.759
 by using

00:40:30.759 --> 00:40:31.460
 you know

00:40:31.460 --> 00:40:32.859
 somebody

00:40:32.859 --> 00:40:34.099
 took this

00:40:34.099 --> 00:40:34.659
 animal from

00:40:34.659 --> 00:40:35.019
 somebody

00:40:35.019 --> 00:40:35.319
 you know

00:40:35.319 --> 00:40:35.699
 and lays

00:40:35.699 --> 00:40:36.339
 it all out

00:40:36.339 --> 00:40:37.559
 but you

00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:38.139
 imagine the

00:40:38.139 --> 00:40:38.579
 gumption to

00:40:38.579 --> 00:40:39.159
 look at David

00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:39.480
 and say

00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:39.839
 hey the

00:40:39.839 --> 00:40:40.319
 moral of the

00:40:40.319 --> 00:40:40.899
 story is

00:40:40.899 --> 00:40:41.239
 this

00:40:41.239 --> 00:40:41.980
 you're the

00:40:41.980 --> 00:40:42.379
 man

00:40:42.379 --> 00:40:47.259
 in front of

00:40:47.259 --> 00:40:47.699
 the king

00:40:47.699 --> 00:40:51.279
 the one with

00:40:51.279 --> 00:40:52.059
 earthly power

00:40:52.059 --> 00:40:52.539
 of life

00:40:52.539 --> 00:40:53.059
 and death

00:40:53.059 --> 00:40:55.699
 you kind of

00:40:55.699 --> 00:40:56.079
 find there

00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:56.319
 was an

00:40:56.319 --> 00:40:56.679
 exemption

00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:56.819
 exemption

00:40:56.819 --> 00:40:57.139
 there

00:40:57.139 --> 00:41:00.359
 and Shemaiah

00:41:00.359 --> 00:41:00.739
 I think

00:41:00.739 --> 00:41:01.379
 enjoyed that

00:41:01.379 --> 00:41:01.839
 same

00:41:01.839 --> 00:41:02.379
 godly

00:41:02.379 --> 00:41:02.899
 exemption

00:41:02.899 --> 00:41:04.440
 because

00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:05.099
 Rehoboam

00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:05.460
 still

00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:06.199
 respected

00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:07.960
 he might

00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:08.339
 not have

00:41:08.339 --> 00:41:08.819
 done

00:41:08.819 --> 00:41:09.440
 but he

00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:09.799
 still had

00:41:09.799 --> 00:41:10.440
 a respect

00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:10.819
 for the

00:41:10.819 --> 00:41:11.239
 things of

00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:11.539
 God

00:41:11.539 --> 00:41:12.960
 there was

00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:13.299
 still a

00:41:13.299 --> 00:41:13.819
 respect

00:41:13.819 --> 00:41:14.219
 that was

00:41:14.219 --> 00:41:14.699
 present

00:41:14.699 --> 00:41:17.739
 you know

00:41:17.739 --> 00:41:18.099
 it makes

00:41:18.099 --> 00:41:18.759
 a difference

00:41:18.759 --> 00:41:19.219
 if there's

00:41:19.219 --> 00:41:19.679
 a general

00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:20.199
 respect

00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:20.779
 for the

00:41:20.779 --> 00:41:21.259
 things of

00:41:21.259 --> 00:41:21.579
 God

00:41:21.579 --> 00:41:25.319
 we can

00:41:25.319 --> 00:41:25.840
 even witness

00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:26.179
 that in

00:41:26.179 --> 00:41:26.500
 our own

00:41:26.500 --> 00:41:26.860
 nation

00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:27.239
 you know

00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:28.059
 when the

00:41:28.059 --> 00:41:28.659
 nation as

00:41:28.659 --> 00:41:29.059
 a whole

00:41:29.059 --> 00:41:29.460
 had a

00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:29.900
 general

00:41:29.900 --> 00:41:30.519
 respect

00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:31.059
 for God

00:41:31.059 --> 00:41:31.460
 I'm not

00:41:31.460 --> 00:41:31.659
 talking

00:41:31.659 --> 00:41:31.940
 people

00:41:31.940 --> 00:41:32.099
 who are

00:41:32.099 --> 00:41:32.259
 all

00:41:32.259 --> 00:41:32.719
 believers

00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:35.360
 but when

00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:35.500
 they

00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:36.059
 operated

00:41:36.059 --> 00:41:36.360
 in the

00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:36.860
 understanding

00:41:36.860 --> 00:41:37.340
 there is

00:41:37.340 --> 00:41:37.880
 a God

00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:38.980
 that's going

00:41:38.980 --> 00:41:39.259
 to hold

00:41:39.259 --> 00:41:39.420
 them

00:41:39.420 --> 00:41:39.980
 accountable

00:41:39.980 --> 00:41:42.139
 it changes

00:41:42.139 --> 00:41:42.500
 the whole

00:41:42.500 --> 00:41:42.860
 attitude

00:41:42.860 --> 00:41:43.340
 and spirit

00:41:43.340 --> 00:41:43.679
 of things

00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:44.739
 doesn't it

00:41:44.739 --> 00:41:46.759
 because we

00:41:46.759 --> 00:41:47.159
 live in

00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:47.639
 perilous

00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:48.039
 times

00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:48.500
 where people

00:41:48.500 --> 00:41:48.980
 don't care

00:41:48.980 --> 00:41:49.420
 what God

00:41:49.420 --> 00:41:49.779
 thinks

00:41:49.780 --> 00:41:54.380
 they don't

00:41:54.380 --> 00:41:54.740
 care

00:41:54.740 --> 00:41:56.600
 I'm going

00:41:56.600 --> 00:41:56.760
 to do

00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:57.200
 my own

00:41:57.200 --> 00:41:57.620
 thing

00:41:57.620 --> 00:41:59.440
 I'm going

00:41:59.440 --> 00:41:59.580
 to do

00:41:59.580 --> 00:41:59.840
 what I

00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:00.100
 want to

00:42:00.100 --> 00:42:00.240
 do

00:42:00.240 --> 00:42:00.500
 when I

00:42:00.500 --> 00:42:00.720
 want to

00:42:00.720 --> 00:42:00.900
 do it

00:42:00.900 --> 00:42:01.060
 and how

00:42:01.060 --> 00:42:01.340
 I want

00:42:01.340 --> 00:42:01.540
 to do

00:42:01.540 --> 00:42:01.760
 it

00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:06.320
 there's

00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:06.920
 no fear

00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:07.320
 and often

00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:07.980
 times it

00:42:07.980 --> 00:42:08.380
 ends

00:42:08.380 --> 00:42:09.480
 there's

00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:09.640
 going to

00:42:09.640 --> 00:42:10.300
 be problems

00:42:10.300 --> 00:42:10.820
 because you

00:42:10.820 --> 00:42:11.460
 look later

00:42:11.460 --> 00:42:13.840
 read through

00:42:13.840 --> 00:42:14.120
 the book

00:42:14.120 --> 00:42:14.560
 of Hebrews

00:42:14.560 --> 00:42:15.320
 chapter 11

00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:19.480
 it makes

00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:19.940
 reference

00:42:19.940 --> 00:42:20.260
 to

00:42:20.260 --> 00:42:21.360
 some

00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:21.820
 prophets

00:42:21.820 --> 00:42:22.039
 who

00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:22.340
 things

00:42:22.340 --> 00:42:22.579
 didn't

00:42:22.579 --> 00:42:22.760
 end

00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:22.920
 so

00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:23.199
 well

00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:27.440
 but they

00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:27.659
 went

00:42:27.659 --> 00:42:28.039
 anyway

00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:31.320
 because they

00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:31.719
 understood

00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:32.500
 the authority

00:42:32.500 --> 00:42:32.840
 of the

00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:33.240
 word of

00:42:33.240 --> 00:42:33.659
 God

00:42:33.659 --> 00:42:34.240
 if you

00:42:34.240 --> 00:42:34.400
 will be

00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:34.780
 a man

00:42:34.780 --> 00:42:35.119
 of God

00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:35.480
 the word

00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:35.880
 of God

00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:36.219
 has a

00:42:36.219 --> 00:42:36.679
 priority

00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:39.360
 to understand

00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:39.699
 what's

00:42:39.699 --> 00:42:40.559
 taking place

00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:41.360
 and it

00:42:41.360 --> 00:42:43.219
 says

00:42:43.219 --> 00:42:43.420
 they

00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:43.940
 hearkened

00:42:43.940 --> 00:42:44.380
 unto the

00:42:44.380 --> 00:42:44.699
 word of

00:42:44.699 --> 00:42:45.139
 the Lord

00:42:45.139 --> 00:42:46.340
 returning

00:42:46.340 --> 00:42:46.860
 to their

00:42:46.860 --> 00:42:47.400
 place

00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:48.340
 you know

00:42:48.340 --> 00:42:48.800
 that tells

00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:49.099
 me that

00:42:49.099 --> 00:42:49.500
 at least

00:42:49.500 --> 00:42:50.019
 the general

00:42:50.019 --> 00:42:51.360
 population

00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:52.200
 still had

00:42:52.200 --> 00:42:53.019
 a respect

00:42:53.019 --> 00:42:53.420
 for the

00:42:53.420 --> 00:42:53.840
 things of

00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:54.119
 God

00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:56.079
 because remember

00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:56.400
 here's

00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:57.619
 180,000

00:42:57.619 --> 00:42:58.019
 battle

00:42:58.019 --> 00:42:58.280
 hardened

00:42:58.280 --> 00:42:58.599
 men

00:42:58.599 --> 00:42:59.240
 all hyped

00:42:59.240 --> 00:42:59.480
 up

00:42:59.480 --> 00:42:59.800
 ready to

00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:00.059
 go into

00:43:00.059 --> 00:43:00.480
 battle

00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:02.000
 and Shemaiah

00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:02.579
 shows up

00:43:02.579 --> 00:43:02.860
 and says

00:43:02.860 --> 00:43:03.579
 thus saith the

00:43:03.579 --> 00:43:03.780
 Lord

00:43:03.780 --> 00:43:04.460
 go home

00:43:04.460 --> 00:43:09.400
 and it

00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:09.539
 says

00:43:09.539 --> 00:43:09.720
 they

00:43:09.720 --> 00:43:10.200
 hearkened

00:43:10.200 --> 00:43:10.680
 unto the

00:43:10.680 --> 00:43:10.940
 word of

00:43:10.940 --> 00:43:11.360
 the Lord

00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:13.200
 in other

00:43:13.200 --> 00:43:13.460
 words

00:43:13.460 --> 00:43:13.920
 they said

00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:14.960
 okay

00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:17.680
 maybe not

00:43:17.680 --> 00:43:18.180
 so much

00:43:18.180 --> 00:43:19.300
 but basically

00:43:19.300 --> 00:43:19.920
 the short

00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:20.400
 sentence of

00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:20.519
 it

00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:21.320
 isn't it

00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:22.900
 says they

00:43:22.900 --> 00:43:23.420
 packed their

00:43:23.420 --> 00:43:23.860
 bags and

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:24.260
 went back

00:43:24.260 --> 00:43:24.659
 home and

00:43:24.659 --> 00:43:24.980
 said no

00:43:24.980 --> 00:43:25.420
 we're not

00:43:25.420 --> 00:43:26.860
 why

00:43:26.860 --> 00:43:27.519
 because God

00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:27.860
 said

00:43:27.860 --> 00:43:29.840
 that God

00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:30.480
 established

00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:31.200
 those things

00:43:31.200 --> 00:43:33.539
 they had a

00:43:33.539 --> 00:43:34.300
 respect and

00:43:34.300 --> 00:43:34.940
 fear for the

00:43:34.940 --> 00:43:35.760
 authority of

00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:36.240
 the word of

00:43:36.240 --> 00:43:36.579
 God

00:43:36.579 --> 00:43:37.619
 they chose

00:43:37.619 --> 00:43:38.400
 not to

00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:39.220
 rebel against

00:43:39.220 --> 00:43:39.680
 the Lord

00:43:39.680 --> 00:43:40.059
 but to

00:43:40.059 --> 00:43:40.700
 trust his

00:43:40.700 --> 00:43:41.099
 word

00:43:41.099 --> 00:43:41.920
 that this

00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:42.559
 was

00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:43.240
 of

00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:44.419
 the Lord

00:43:44.419 --> 00:43:45.899
 and so

00:43:45.899 --> 00:43:46.159
 we're going

00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:46.579
 to leave

00:43:46.579 --> 00:43:47.559
 off here

00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:47.939
 tonight

00:43:47.939 --> 00:43:48.339
 but next

00:43:48.339 --> 00:43:48.639
 time we're

00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:48.879
 going to be

00:43:48.879 --> 00:43:49.519
 looking at

00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:50.239
 the direction

00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:52.779
 that the

00:43:52.779 --> 00:43:54.099
 two kingdoms

00:43:54.099 --> 00:43:54.859
 now take

00:43:54.859 --> 00:43:57.039
 because we

00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:57.779
 can learn a lot

00:43:57.779 --> 00:43:58.479
 of these initial

00:43:58.479 --> 00:43:59.299
 decisions and

00:43:59.299 --> 00:43:59.879
 things that take

00:43:59.879 --> 00:44:00.639
 place as the

00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:02.619
 kingdoms are

00:44:02.619 --> 00:44:03.019
 divided

00:44:03.019 --> 00:44:05.539
 and the things

00:44:05.539 --> 00:44:05.899
 that take

00:44:05.899 --> 00:44:06.639
 place and so

00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:07.799
 let's go ahead

00:44:07.799 --> 00:44:08.439
 and close in a

00:44:08.439 --> 00:44:08.879
 word of prayer

00:44:08.879 --> 00:44:09.359
 here tonight

00:44:09.359 --> 00:44:09.619
 heavenly

00:44:09.619 --> 00:44:10.319
 fathers we just

00:44:10.319 --> 00:44:10.759
 come before

00:44:10.759 --> 00:44:11.000
 you to
