You don't owe das anything. 109 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:25.560 That's right. 110 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.079 Right.

It is a privilege. 114 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.600 So you're welcome, that's true, you are welcome. Good. 115 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:42.879 Well, hey, we're going to transition. 116 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.240 Well, we left him on a cliffhanger yesterday. 117 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.560 You know, do you remember a couple of weeks ago, 118 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.199 I was watching our old episodes as they were airing, 119 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:55.120 and you said that our goal was to do bad transitions. Yes, 120 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.000 and I actually, when I was listening to it, I thought, 121 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:57.800 that's funny. 122 00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:58.120 It was. 123 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.439 We should continue to do that. So go ahead and 124 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.120 make the transition to the scripture. 125 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:10.839 Go okay on this one. Speaking of pumpkins giving birth. 126 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.959 It reminds me that David. Yeah, speaking of pumpkins giving 127 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.639 birth reminds me that David Besheba had a baby a 128 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.560 couple and then some of the other people that he 129 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.160 gave birth wanted to pull off a coup. 130 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.959 There it is, there it is. 131 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:22.480 Did it work? 132 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.160 Yes? Okay, there we go because it made sense and 133 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.079 it's a really bad transition. 134 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.040 Terrible okay. So that's one of our goals now, one 135 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:33.680 of our goals is to have terrible transitions. 136 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.000 I think it should be because I liked I was 137 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.879 watching it, you know, sometimes you say it, then you 138 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.040 forget about it. Yes, and then when I was actually watching, 139 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:42.480 I was like, oh, that's actually pretty clever. 140 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.079 And then inadvertently, probably most of the rest of transitions 141 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.759 since that time have been bad transitions too. Yes, okay. 142 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.240 So if you remember, uh, what's his name? Ada? And 143 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.120 Nijah was David's what was his fourth son? 144 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:02.040 Yeah, he was born right after Absolom, right. 145 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.480 Yeah, and he was It made sense that he would 146 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.079 be the next king because you had according to the 147 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.040 notes here, Ada Nija was David's fourth son, the logical 148 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.920 choice to Succeeed succeed him as king. David's first son, Amnon, 149 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.399 had been killed by Absolom for raping his sister. His 150 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.480 second son, Daniel, is mentioned only in the genealogy, so 151 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.279 he must have died by this time. Absolom died in 152 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:32.120 a previous coup attempt. And then now you have ada Nija. 153 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.360 It makes sense to at night. But David had already chosen. 154 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.319 Are those all four starting with A? 155 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:38.800 Except for Daniel? 156 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.600 Oh yeah, Daniel, yeah? And Solomon of course. 157 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.439 And then so David had determined that Solomon was going 158 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.319 to be the next king? Yes, we had, and God 159 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.040 had chosen Solomon as well. But one of the things, 160 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.000 it was amazing. We didn't mention this yesterday, but do 161 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.519 you remember reading that that David had never disciplined at 162 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.439 a Nija, not even asking him? Why are you doing that? 163 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.240 Have you ever seem like the old grandpa mentality where 164 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.600 you sort of give up being a parent. 165 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.920 You just give him everything. Yeah, yeah, you want more? 166 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.959 Can you want ice cream? Before? Well, that's what's happening. 167 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.759 He's, uh, he's just forgotten to be a dad, right, 168 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.680 He's sort of like almost feels like he's renounced his responsibilities. 169 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.800 Why because Nathan has to uh plot the way to 170 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.680 get David to actually act like a leader. So he says, 171 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.879 but Sheba, go in there and you say this, then 172 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:32.759 I'll come in and I'll make a big stink about it. 173 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:33.480 As you're talking. 174 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:34.840 I'll back up your story. 175 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.559 Because we want David to respond as a leader, and 176 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.279 if you go in by yourself, he's not going to respond. 177 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.240 He's going to do what he always does, right, which 178 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.000 is just advt He's just going to just past discipline, 179 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:49.000 ignore whatever. So clearly responsibility is what I mean. 180 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.480 David never corrected him. And it doesn't say anything about 181 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.279 how abishag his mother was. It as no, no, no no. 182 00:08:55.320 --> 00:09:00.840 His mother's name it was another really weird name, Hageth. 183 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.320 She doesn't say anything about her discipline, but the Bible 184 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.279 does mention a few times about Bathsheba and raising her son, 185 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.039 and so it's kind of interesting. Maybe David saw that 186 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.120 Solomon had character and that might have been why he 187 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:21.120 chose Solomon over Abashaker or what's his name, Ada nijahh Okay, 188 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.879 So we're gonna pick back up here, go King David. 189 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.080 This is in verse twenty eight of First Kings. King 190 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.200 David responded, called Bathsheba, so she came back in and 191 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.519 stood before the king, and the King repeated his vow. 192 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.799 As surely as the Lord lives, who rescued me from 193 00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.960 every danger, your son Solomon will be the next king 194 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.360 and will sit on my throne this very day, just 195 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.000 as I vowed to you before the Lord the God 196 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.519 of Israel. Then Bathsheba bowed down with her face to 197 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:47.960 the ground before the king and claimed, may my Lord 198 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:51.799 King David live forever. Then King David ordered calls Adok 199 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.480 the Priest, Nathan the Prophet, and ben I as sna Jahoida. 200 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.039 When they came into the king's presence, the King said 201 00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.279 to them, take Solomon and my officials down to the 202 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:03.000 Guihan Spring. Solomon is to ride on my own mule there, 203 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.799 Zadok the priest and Nathan the Prophet, and annoint him king 204 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.000 over Israel. Blow the rams horn and shout long live 205 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.639 King Solomon, and then escort him back here, and he 206 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.080 will sit on my throne. He will succeed me as king, 207 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.120 for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel 208 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.840 and Judah. Amen ben Iyah, son of Jeheida, replied, May 209 00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.279 the Lord the God of my lord. The King decreed 210 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.440 that it happened and may the Lord be with Solomon 211 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.399 as he has been with you, my Lord the King, 212 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.799 and may he make Solomon's reign even greater than yours. 213 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:30.639 It seems like he made a long speech considering to 214 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.759 be hurrying there. But anyways, so. 215 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.440 And by the way, he has to make it because 216 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.799 at an Aja his coup is happening that day, right, 217 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:40.960 which means all of a sudden, David has been thrust 218 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.759 into like I've got to do this ceremony right now. 219 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.919 Right right, yeah, So where do we finish on this chapter? 220 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.679 By the way, Oh, I'm trying to fix it out. 221 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:52.440 That's a great question. 222 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.799 Verse fifty three. Who we're going? Okay, So, Zadok, the 223 00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:59.360 priest Nathan, the prophet Beniah, a son of Jehidah, and 224 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.519 the king's body took Solomon down to Guihan's Spring, with 225 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.759 Solomon riding on David's own mule. There, Zadok the priest 226 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.200 took the flask of olive oil from the sacred tent 227 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.960 and anointed Solomon with the oil. Then they sounded the 228 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.000 ram's horn and all the people shouted, long Live King Solomon. 229 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:19.320 All the people followed Solomon into Jerusalem, playing flutes and 230 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.639 shouting for joy. The celebration was so joyous and noisy 231 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.679 that the earth shook with the sound. Ada Nija and 232 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.519 his guests heard the celebrating and shouting it just as 233 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.480 they were finishing their banquet. When Joeb heard the sound 234 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.840 of the rams horn, he asked, what's going on? Why 235 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.919 is the city in such an uproar. While he was 236 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.159 still speaking, Jonathan, son of Abiathar, the priest, arrived, come 237 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.200 in ad and I just said to him, for you 238 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.559 are a good man, you must have good news. Not 239 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.759 at all, Jonathan replied, our lord, King David has just 240 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.039 declared king Solomon King. The King sent him down to 241 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.919 Guihan Spring. Was Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and 242 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.000 ben Aya son of Johidah. Protected by the king's bodyguard. 243 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.360 They had him ride on the king's own mule, and 244 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.720 Zadok and Nathan have anointed him at Guihan Spring. Is 245 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.559 the new king. And they've just returned, and the whole 246 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.399 city is celebrating and rejoicing. That's what all the noise 247 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.000 is about. What's more, Solomon is now sitting on the 248 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:12.039 royal throne as king. All the royal officials have gone 249 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.879 to King David and congratulating him, saying, may your God 250 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.840 make Solomon's fame even greater than your own, and may 251 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.080 Solomon's reign be even greater than yours. And then the 252 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.480 king bowed his head in worship as he lay in 253 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.919 his bed, and he said, praise the Lord, the God 254 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.960 of Israel, who today has chosen a successor to sit 255 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.120 on my throne while I am still alive to see it. 256 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.679 Then all of Ada and Iija's guests jumped up in 257 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:38.840 panic from the banquet table and quickly scattered. Adanijah was 258 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.399 afraid of Solomon, so he rushed to the sacred tent 259 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.639 and grabbed on to the horns of the altar. Words 260 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:47.480 soon reached Solomon that Adanaija had seized the horns of 261 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.480 the altar in fear, and that he was pleading let 262 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:51.559 King Solomon swear today that he will not kill me. 263 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.759 Solomon replied, if he proves himself to be loyal, not 264 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.279 a hair on his head will be touched. But if 265 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.679 he makes trouble, he will die. So King Solomon summoned 266 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.080 and add an Ija, and they brought him down from 267 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.840 the altar. He came and bowed respectfully for King Solomon, 268 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.679 who dismissed him, saying, go on home. He what's a 269 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.720 cool move, right there, Yeah, that's a great move. Just 270 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:12.639 just go home. 271 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:16.639 Yeah. And so hey, you tried, buddy, right, you tried 272 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:21.919 it failed. Just bend the knee, go on home. That's it. 273 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.480 So uh so again, what an epic story. And uh, 274 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.200 it's just it's just great. And uh and by the way, 275 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.159 just in the dude, right, And and I love how 276 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.240 it says David bowed his head in worship as he 277 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:36.240 lay in his bed. 278 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:36.960 You know what that means. 279 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.080 It means that he he used all of his strength 280 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.279 to get up and to do this ceremony. 281 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:44.519 They got him out of bed. 282 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.879 Here he is under what like five hundred blankets and 283 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.480 standing next to a girl that's trying to keep him warm, right, 284 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.600 and and he can't he can't get warm, and and 285 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:57.840 so he's gonna come out of his blankets. Right. You know, 286 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.840 you can even imagine your brain how finn he is. Yeah, right, 287 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.080 he's probably so thin. That's where that's when you're cold. 288 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.919 Well, we know he's over seventy at this point. Yeah, 289 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.519 but but the miles on this guy are way more 290 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.519 than seventy. 291 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.799 Right, right, yeah, this guy, this guy's been through it 292 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:14.960 so anyway, so he has just enough strength to do 293 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:15.480 all of this. 294 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.480 And then this old lion rises up one more time, right, 295 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:19.440 and then he goes. 296 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.960 Back in bed and he worships in bed because he 297 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.960 doesn't have the strength, right, And so it includes that detail. 298 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:29.600 And so Solomon is now, uh, you know, probably with 299 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.840 no notice. Think about this. Think about it from Solomon's 300 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.440 point of view, right, yeah, Yeah, he's been promised king. Sure, 301 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.639 he's been trained to be king. It's the long awaited day. 302 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.120 But then all of a sudden, somebody wakes you up 303 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.200 and goes, hey, hey, it's happening today. 304 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:41.879 What do you mean today? 305 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:43.720 No, no, with the next hour, Yeah, we're going now 306 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.879 you get on the mule. It's like it's like wow, 307 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.200 and all of a sudden you're on the throne. Yeah yeah, 308 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.159 And so you know, and so it's a good lesson 309 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:51.519 for us. 310 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.480 And he's a younger man, right right, he's what the 311 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.559 fifth son of David, so he's a younger, a younger man. 312 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.159 We know that David also had daughters, so we don't 313 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.840 know how many siblings. But you know, I mentioned I 314 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.480 was it yesterday's episode that I had. You know, my 315 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.759 oldest sister is in her sixties, my youngest brothers in 316 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.799 his thirties, and and you know there's this big. 317 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:13.159 Gap, and you have ten siblings and you're the eleventh. 318 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.080 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Well I'm in the middle. But 319 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.399 when you add me, it's eleven kids total in my 320 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.320 that are connected. Oh you're not the eleventh in line, no, no, no, no, 321 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.879 I'm the oldest. I'm the oldest of the boys. I 322 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.200 have six older sisters and four younger brothers. 323 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.200 Everybody above you is female, and already below you as male. 324 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:33.759 Yeah. I turned the tide man, everything got better, right right, 325 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:38.759 that's really funny. Yeah, So so it could be that 326 00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.919 way that you know, he could be he could be 327 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:47.600 fifteen years younger than Amnon was, right right, So he's 328 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:51.039 he's probably a pretty young guy. Yeah, if his dad 329 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:53.080 was in his seventies. 330 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.799 He can't be too young because and I just afraid 331 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:55.360 of them. 332 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:58.679 Right right right? Yeah. Well, also he also has all 333 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:00.480 the bodyguards and he sitting. 334 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:01.679 There, think he was just afraid of his power. 335 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.600 Oh he's the king now right, Yeah, so everybody, because 336 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.279 it didn't hesitate to tell us that as soon as 337 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.720 soon as the announcement was made. Everybody left out of that. 338 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.200 He's by himself, right, He's feeling pretty tough because he's 339 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:17.159 got Joeb sitting there with. 340 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.919 Him, and and at anytime that dinner party could have 341 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:21.639 been raided. 342 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:24.879 Right right, because they were just down the hill. They 343 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:29.559 were just down the hill from the palace. Right. So yeah, 344 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:34.840 so you know Solomon is is now the king and yeah, 345 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:40.200 like you said, is a whirlwind here. But this treacherous 346 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.039 guy at in Nija.

And just understand, when you're trying 357 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.240 to take what's not yours, and people around you will 358 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.880 abandon you when you get exposed. That's right, and that's 359 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:17.759 that's what happens here. 360 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:21.119 Yeah, Hey, there's a note. The reason why one of 361 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.319 the reasons why we love our life applications study Bibles 362 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.680 is they do all of the study and they had 363 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.200 these commentaries and these really great notes, and I love this. 364 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:31.839 And a lot of times they'll do like a character study, 365 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.599 or they'll summarize the character's life. 366 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.279 Yes, and in this case they're summarizing Besteshiba, and I 367 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.640 love just the opening lines and this it says. Best 368 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:43.559 Sheba was the unlikely link between Israel's two most famous kings, 369 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.880 David and Solomon. She was lover and wife to one 370 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.759 and mother to the other. Her adultery with David almost 371 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.839 brought an end to David's family line, but out of 372 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:56.240 the ashes of sin, God brought good. Eventually, Jesus Christ, 373 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.200 the Salvation of mankind was born as a descendant to 374 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.480 David and bet Sheba. David and Bestsheba's story shows that 375 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.000 little bit wrong decisions often lead to big mistakes. It 376 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:11.279 is likely that that neither was where she should have been. 377 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.839 Betesheba may have been rash and well anyway, it just 378 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.279 goes on. But the bottom line is it is a 379 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.799 great thing to recognize in this moment, as Solomon is being, 380 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.960 you know king that you know Bestsheba is the mother, 381 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:31.200 and then from this line of kings is the King 382 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.680 of kings, right, the next King of Israel and king 383 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.119 of the world and king of the universe in creation. 384 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.400 And so it's just really cool how God is able 385 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:46.039 to use broken people for great things. And so here's 386 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.559 David not a perfect moment, right, the worst part of 387 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:54.160 his life by far, the thing that was known throughout Israel, 388 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:58.200 his most shameful thing that he's ever been a part of. 389 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:02.720 And yet God deems it. And and it's because why 390 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.640 of his repentance. It's because of his posture of recognizing 391 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.319 and apologizing to everybody there was there was a penalty 392 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.559 for his sin. He has paid that price, excuse me. 393 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.880 And it's just a great thing to know that God 394 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.359 is still in the business of using broken people for 395 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.920 great thanks right right. 396 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:25.119 You know. The other thing is God had ordered you know, 397 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.920 God does not endorse polygamy anywhere in the Bible. He 398 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:31.920 ordered the kings don't marry lots of wives. He'd warned 399 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.559 the people. If you if you start appointing kings they're 400 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.720 gonna want to marry all the women. They're gonna want 401 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:39.079
