There was a revolt 126 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:31.199 against him, and his son basically tried to revolte against him. 127 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:38.519 And then he's basically eliminated everybody who is you know, 128 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.439 rised up against him. He's now totally in control, and 129 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.959 now he's trying to show kindness and mercy to those 130 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.360 who are left, right, those who haven't died. Yeah, but 131 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.319 there's there's terrible, terrible It actually is a curse on 132 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.160 his household, right, The curse on his household is that 133 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.279 there would be death. They were going to live and 134 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.959 die by the sword. So there's all kind of strife. 135 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.319 His captain Joe Ab, who was the captain of the 136 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.800 Guard under Saul when David was a commander of the Guard. 137 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.720 Joe Ab was actually one of his comrades who he 138 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.879 fought side by side. And Joe Ab is going to 139 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:20.600 be a part of this story today and and and 140 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:26.600 so anyway, Joe Ab actually killed Absolom and and so anyway, yeah, 141 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.480 so that's going to continue this, This whole strife of 142 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.120 death is going to continue to play out here. Yeah. 143 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:37.360 And it's in verse twenty or sorry, chapter twenty, verses 144 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.639 one through twenty six, and the title here is the 145 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.279 Revolt of Sheba, which it just feels like a lot 146 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.360 of this this this book is dealing with revolts. 147 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.600 By the way, he killed Abner. He didn't kill Abstrong, 148 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:48.279 he killed Abner. 149 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.800 Sorry, there you go. Second Samuel versus one here to 150 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.639 chapter twenty there happened to be a troublemaker there named Sheiba, 151 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.000 son of Vickery, a man from the tribe of Benjamin. 152 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.720 Sheiba blew a rams horn and began to chant down 153 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.120 with the dynasty of David. We have no interest in 154 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.439 the son of Jesse. Come on, you men of Israel, 155 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.879 back to your homes, which I love that that's quite 156 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.680 a chance. So all the men of Israel deserted David 157 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.360 and followed Shiba, son of Vickery, But the men of 158 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.600 Judas stayed with their king and escorted him from the 159 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.079 Jordan River to Jerusalem. When David came to his palace 160 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.240 in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines he had left 161 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.600 after the palace and placed them in seclusion. Their needs 162 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.360 were provided for, but he no longer slept with them, 163 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.680 so each of them lived like a widow until she died. 164 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.680 Then the king told Amasa mobilized the army of Judah 165 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.680 within three days and report back at that time. So 166 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.720 Amasa went out to notify Judah, but it took him 167 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.399 longer than the time he had been given. Then David 168 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.199 said to Abashi, Shiba son of Bickery, is going to 169 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.160 hurt us more than Absalom did. So, David, he's pretty 170 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.040 nervous about this, and rightfully so. Right, quick, take my 171 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.120 troops and chase after him before he gets into a 172 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.519 fortified town where we can't reach him. So, Abashi and Joeb, 173 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.240 together with the King's bodyguard and all the Mighty warriors, 174 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.079 set out from Jerusalem to go after Sheiba. As they 175 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.040 arrived at the Great Stone and Gibbeon, Amasa met them. 176 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.519 Joeb was wearing his military tunic with a dagger strapped 177 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.240 to his belt. As he stepped forward to greet Amasa, 178 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.199 he slipped the dagger from its sheath. How are you, 179 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.199 my cousin, Joeb said, and took him by the beer 180 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.920 with his right hand, as though to kiss him. Amasa 181 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.240 didn't notice a dagger in his left hand, and Job 182 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.360 stabbed him in the stomach with it, so that his 183 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.560 insides gushed out onto the ground. Feels like I'm watching 184 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.399 like what's the gladiator or something? 185 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.159 Right? Terrible? 186 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.519 Yes, yes, joeab did not need to strike again, and 187 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.039 Amasa soon died. Joeb and his brother Abashai left him 188 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.600 lying there and continued after Sheiba. One of Job's young 189 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.159 men shouted to Amasa's troops. If you're for Joabed and David, 190 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.960 come and follow Joab. But a massa laying laying his 191 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.440 blood in the middle of the road, and Joab's man 192 00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.200 saw that everyone was stopping to stare at him. We 193 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.120 pulled them off the road into a field and threw 194 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.600 a cloak over him. With a masa's body out of 195 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.879 the way, everyone went on with Joeb to capture Sheiba, 196 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.639 son of Vickery. Meanwhile, Shiba traveled through all the tribes 197 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.960 of Israel and eventually came to the town of abel 198 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.000 Beth Makah. All the members of his own clan, the 199 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.519 Bik Rights, assembled for battle and followed him into the town. 200 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.399 When Job's forces arrived, they attacked abel Beth Mecca. They 201 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.440 built a siege ramp against the town's fortifications and began 202 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.159 battering down the wall. But a wise woman in the 203 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.039 town called out to Joeb. Listen to me, Joeb, come 204 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.399 over here so I can talk to you. As he approached, 205 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.960 the woman asked, are you Joeb, which is funny because 206 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.120 she originally called his name. I am, he replied, So 207 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:44.080 she said, listen carefully to your servant. I'm listening. He said, 208 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.120 Then she continued, there used to be a saying, if 209 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.679 you want to settle an argument, ask advice at the 210 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.840 town of abel, I am one who is peace loving 211 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:55.720 and faithful in Israel. But you are destroying an important 212 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.000 town in Israel. Why do you want to devour what 213 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.159 belongs to the lord? And Joeb replied, believe me, I 214 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.080 don't want to devour or destroy your town. That's not 215 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.879 my purpose. All I want is a man named Sheba's son, 216 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.120 a Vickery from the hill country of a Frame, who 217 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.200 has revolted against King David. Have you hand over this 218 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.200 man to me? I will leave the town in peace, 219 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.200 all right. The woman replied, we will throw his head 220 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.679 over the wall to you, savage. Then the woman went 221 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.519 to all the people with their wives advice, and they 222 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.960 cut off Sheba's head and threw it out to Joeb. 223 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.720 So he blew the rams horn and called his troops 224 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.240 back from the attack. They all returned to their homes, 225 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.399 and Joeb returned to the king at Jerusalem. Now Joab 226 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.600 was the commander of the Army of Israel. Benanaiah, son 227 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.960 of Jehodah, was captain of the King's bodyguard. At an 228 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.960 Erom was in charge of the labor force. Jehosaphat, son 229 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.159 of al Hulud, was the royal historian. Shiba was the 230 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.960 court secretary. They're just name and names. Now, try to 231 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.559 mess me up. They're just messing with me now. Zadak 232 00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.639 and Nabathar with a priest, and Ira, a descendant of 233 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.799 Jeh was David's personal priest. I love that ending. 234 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:04.399 I'm like you said, they're just trying to That's so fun. 235 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:09.200 That's good. So what a savage, little a savage. This 236 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.559 is a movie right here. This is a great movie. 237 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.159 Yeah, yeah, it's it's a you know, one of those 238 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.120 movies where you know, have you ever seen a movie 239 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.080 where there's way more violence than you really. 240 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:24.159 Want them to be? There's hacks You ever see Hacksaw 241 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.440 Ridge hacks. 242 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.039 I did, Yes, Yes, yes, it was great, great movie. 243 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.799 Great movie. Yes. But I but I only remember the 244 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:32.360 great parts. 245 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:37.519 I don't necessarily remember violence, right, I remember like the 246 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.320 awesome you know what's his name Andrew Garfield who played 247 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.000 the character, like, I just loved that part of it. 248 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:44.840 And uh. 249 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.080 And so anyway, I talked to my wife and seeing 250 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.240 this and uh, and I said, hey watch us. 251 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:50.840 She says, no, I can't watch. I said, no, no, it's 252 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.000 not violent. I said, it's not even that bad story. 253 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.320 It's a great story. You're gonna love it. 254 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.960 It's about faith and this guy who loves God and 255 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.639 everything else. 256 00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.240 And so anyway, we start watching it. 257 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.559 Well then all of a sudd the battle scenes come yeah, 258 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.399 and she is like sobbing, she's weeping, and she has 259 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.320 to turn off and she goes to bed and we 260 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.039 were like all cuddly before and she's like, she's like, 261 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:11.159 no shot, buddy. 262 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.200 She's like, you just ruined the night.

It feels like a mob movie right there. 277 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:47.120 Yeah. 278 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:49.159 And then and then she says, don't worry, We'll make 279 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.879 sure we uh, we will throw his head over the 280 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.399 wall to you. And so they go find Sheba kill 281 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.039 him right there on site. But I want to read 282 00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.519 the note you mentioned it in yesterday's podcast for anybody 283 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.519 who didn't didn't see this because we talked about the 284 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.399 tribe of Benjamin in this last section here, but our 285 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.840 note here in the Life Application Bible here says although 286 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:10.919 Israel was a united kingdom, it was still made up 287 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.720 of twelve separate tribes. These tribes often had difficulty agreeing 288 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.919 on the goals of the nation as a whole. So 289 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:20.480 tribal jealousies had originally kept Israel from completely conquering the 290 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.320 Promised Land, and now tribal jealousies were threatening the stability 291 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.840 of David's reign by giving Sheba an opportunity to rebel. 292 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.080 And I did find it interesting the way David actually 293 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.080 was nervous that he had another absolom rebellion on his hands. 294 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.879 So he was, I mean, he was on the defensive, 295 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:36.159 that's for sure, right. 296 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:38.759 And then also let me read this other note too. 297 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.399 This is a good one. 298 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.399 It says, once again, Joe AB's murderous act went unpunished, 299 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.600 just as it did when he kill Labner, which I 300 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.960 which I already referenced back in Second Samuel chapter three. 301 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.759 And it says eventually, however, it justice does catch up 302 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.159 with him in First King chapter number two, which we 303 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.759 will probably eventually get there and probably even read that. 304 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:03.120 I may see that sin and treachery often go unpunished, 305 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.919 but God's justice is not limited to this life's rewards. 306 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.559 Even if Joe Ab had died of old age, he 307 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.480 would still have to face the day of judgment. And 308 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.720 uh and so, just as a little foreshadowing, uh, David's son, 309 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:22.159 King Solomon is the one who eventually orders the death 310 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:25.000 of Joe Abb and uh and and and so, yeah, 311 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:28.559 it does basically come back to him because Joe Abb 312 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.519 is just pretty much out of control, yeah right. 313 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.519 And being connected to that family, it just seems like, yeah, 314 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:36.480 my goodness. 315 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:40.120 Yeah so so yeah, So I think that one of 316 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:41.720 the main things, I mean, you know, if you were 317 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.919 to preach a sermon from here, Kyle, Uh, I think 318 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.799 that one of the sermons could be you know, probably 319 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.159 to you is I mean, this is a pretty brutal story. 320 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.919 I guess, I guess I could say the overall picture 321 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.720 when things like this happen u you know, when we 322 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.519 get down into the weeds of this whole, you know, 323 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.919 this this rebellions and these kingdoms. What I have a 324 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:08.879 tendency to do is I have a tendency to want 325 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.840 to zoom out to thirty thousand feet and look at 326 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.919 the promises of God. 327 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.279 And even though that we're in the weeds. 328 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.399 Of the battles, you know, you just have to you know, 329 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:19.639 you know, sort of zoom back out. 330 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:21.519 Well, think about it, Think about how. 331 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:25.480 Many battles that David probably was involved in, like this, 332 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.919 in rebellions and just like this where he has to 333 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.080 just sort of, you know, rest on the promises of God. 334 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.279 Should he expresses fear and he says, hey, let's take 335 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.799 care of this or else it may cause us as 336 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.759 much damage as absolue caused us. 337 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.600 Right, So he does show concern. 338 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.639 And fear, But at the same time he has to 339 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:48.279 remember that, you know, God's promises were given. You know, 340 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.320 he is promised to be the king, you know, and 341 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.799 you know, even even when he has desire to build 342 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.960 the temple, is what does God say God says, know 343 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.600 that responsibility be passed on to your son, because you 344 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.159 know your hands are. 345 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.200 Filled with blood. That was David's lot in life. 346 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.639 David's lot in life was you know, God had a 347 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.279 mission to carry out against all those who were pagans, 348 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:19.039 all those who blasphemed against God. David's life was spent 349 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.919 carrying out the mission of God by eliminating a lot 350 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.799 of God's enemies. But again, these are promises. So David 351 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.600 has to, you know, show his worldly wisdom, his strategy, 352 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:36.159 his earthly experience. You know, he exercises all of that, 353 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.120 you know, so he doesn't just say, okay, God is 354 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.080 that this rebellion. 355 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:42.519 He has to implement his own gifts. 356 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:44.720 But at the same time, you got to zoom out 357 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.159 thirty thousand feet and say, okay, God's got this. Because 358 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.039 God's hand has always been on me for every battle, 359 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.919 for every rebellion. I know the future. I know that 360 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:58.480 God promises us a dynasty, a legacy. You know, David's 361 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.879 kingdom is all above all other earthly kings at this point, right, 362 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.920 and so you know the Messiah is going to come 363 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.680 from his kingdom. 364 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:08.720 And so that's what I have a tendency to do. 365 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:10.960 I have a tendency to sort of think about that 366 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.599 in my own life and think about, Okay, even when 367 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.039 things get discouraging, and even when things feel like they're 368 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.480 down in the weeds, you know, has God forgotten his promises? 369 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.160 Has God forgotten to take care of me? Has God 370 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:25.880 forgotten to you know, have his blessing upon me in 371 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.440 my life? You've got to sort of zoom out and say, hey, 372 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.720 I'm going to get through this with my own intelligence, 373 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:35.880 my own abilities, and all the experience that God has 374 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.400 given to me in my life. We're supposed to implement 375 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.920 those things. We're supposed to pray about it and do 376 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.359 what we can, but we have to sit back and 377 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:45.640 trust that God's going to always do what he can 378 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.279 that's really good. 379 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:47.799 We'll just have his hands upon my life. 380 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.039 Yeah, the thing that you ask, what you know a 381 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.880 message you might give here. It's interesting because in this 382 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.480 chapter or in this in this section here we see 383 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.880 something that stood out to me, which is, whenever you 384 00:17:57.880 --> 00:17:59.440 look at scripture, I feel when you think about the 385 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.880 women that are highlighted in scripture, right, there's so many 386 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.119 great women who are highlighted, especially in a culture that 387 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.119 really didn't that culture didn't have as much value towards women. 388 00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:12.279 Jesus did, obviously and God does. But the people in 389 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:14.480 that day and age was just they didn't speak in public, 390 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.160 speak up in public. And it was a whole thing 391 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:17.720 when you think about it, you think about women in 392 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.960 the scripture and you see people who are there. They 393 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.319 talk about their faithfulness, they talk about, you know, their beauty, 394 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.599 they talk about their patience. You have you know, marry 395 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.880 mother of Jesus, and just her her trust in God. 396 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:34.720 So you see all these things. But warrior, yep, yep. 397 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:36.720 And that's the thing, is like Deborah being a warrior. 398 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.119 There's not many others like where there's like these tough 399 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:43.160 moments right where it's like an actual physically bad person, right, 400 00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:44.799 And this is a moment here you have this woman 401 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.519
