things can and will be used [02:21] against you in the day of judgment if you do not repent with that said Peace to the states that are in the room to [02:27] the states that couldn't make it to the Saints watching in on the camera but no peace to the Wicked the only thing we [02:32] say to them is repent that they might live yeah you know what I'm talking [02:39] about tell them don't do that to you know mostly you can make the l sound out his school he does [02:44] Let's uh only this sentence to the one explaining it Let's uh let's open up to uh where we [02:53] going what we got mail what we talked about last week Mel oh [03:00] that's tj9 listening butt um you know [03:05] are we in judges all right I was about to talk about you boy what you got then what we talk about last week what do you [03:10] remember the girl bought a book [03:15] I don't know what you mean you gotta give me more than that okay we're talking about Judges [03:21] and um Avengers that we were talking about this one lady [03:27] I can't remember like we didn't have no Kings to we love her so we kept having to get new we were watching this girl [03:34] about the books and we was doing right as soon as he [03:41] went away he started being around again and then the same thing yeah pretty much that's not necessarily [03:46] what we talked about last week but that is a synopsis of what we've been for the last couple weeks where we talked about [03:51] specifically last week though what happened it was a lady [03:58] what did the lady do [Music] was a lady your mom [04:05] wait was she a mom [Music] a judge so you remember it was a mom [04:13] who lost something oh she lost her sister that's right she lost her silver and [04:19] then what happened as a result her son had it and what her son say oh [04:26] she said I could just like get the silver right back for my son because all I have to do is like just like actually [04:33] so so I'm glad that I'm prepared anybody else and what did they end up doing with [04:39] that silver [04:47] what they make oh I don't know if it was golden Catholic [04:54] you on to the right it's not a it's not a golden calf but what they they made something with it what they make with [04:59] what is it called an image right a Graven image is what it's called right they made a grape [05:09] so they made an idol and Engraving image and then later on somebody came from out [05:15] of town who remember what tribe he is from what's the matter whatever [05:21] me remember it was a levite that came from out of town we talked about oh my priest has to be a levite but can't be [05:27] irregular Levi he got to be a out of the sons of Aaron all right and so he ended up making a levite who [05:33] was not a son of Aaron ended up making him a priest of his household all right and then doing that there's [05:39] some other folks came out of town some guys from from the tribe of Dan Ezra come back upstairs all right the tribe [05:44] of Dan they was looking for their own territory and they walked through and they saw and they look like oh you gotta [05:50] you got a priest you're like man it don't make no sense for you apprecially for this one man's house you could end [05:55] up being a priest for the whole tribe of a dance nobody's downstairs right so that's where we are now the tribe of [06:02] Dan kind of kind of you know muscled their way through you know what I'm saying and uh now we gonna pick up it's [06:08] another narrative that we're gonna pick up but it's happening in the same vicinity so what we read about last week [06:15] I'm gonna go ahead and put it on the screen so the people watching in can see it [06:22] and I said don't play her she is watching um so what we what we read last week you [06:30] know I'm saying where am I here this is Jericho so what we read last week [06:35] happened around this area here right so when it's talking about the levite [06:42] coming from uh coming from uh Ephraim he came from Shiloh most likely or this [06:48] area Shiloh that's where the Levites would be uh many of them because that's where the uh that's where the Tabernacle [06:55] is so he's coming from this area right here and then coming on down [07:01] and they was around where Jerusalem uh somewhere near where Jerusalem is but [07:08] yeah walk or travel with you know I'm saying maybe with animals or something like [07:13] that but yeah they they traveled on foot most of the time and so um the border right here this is [07:19] about this is about wherever Ephraim is after we get out of Judges I'll bring up the the other map of where all the [07:26] tribes are but you know I'm saying this is about where Ephraim is so we're about to get into a story that's kind of in [07:31] the same vicinity um so I just kind of want you all to kind of visualize where people are [07:37] coming and going from so let's open up this is uh this is the Judges chapter [07:42] what 19. yeah this is Judges chapter 19. look DJ if you're gonna be out here [07:47] ain't gonna be none of that whispering and talking and all that stuff you hear me you sit out here or you go in there [07:54] deal all right and it came to pass in those days when [07:59] there was no king in Israel that there was a certain levite sojourning on the side of Mount Ephraim who took him a [08:05] concubine out of Bethlehem Judah and his concubine played the [ __ ] against him and went away from him unto her father's [08:12] house to Bethlehem Judah and was there four whole months uh-huh so concubine is [08:18] is like a woman that's dedicated to a man right it's almost like a wife but not [08:23] quite right so it's like a woman that's dedicated to a man and so she the the [08:28] concubine that he had she was uh uh she was with him and then she ended up she [08:35] ended up being disloyal to him right is what is what how he took it he's like [08:41] okay well she ended up being disloyal to him and she ran off and then the book is going to tell her she's gonna end up running off and living with her father [08:48] right uh keep going watch this and her husband arose and went after her to speak friendly unto her and to bring her [08:54] again having his servant with him and a couple of donkeys and she brought him into her father's house and when the [09:01] father of the damsel saw him he rejoiced to meet him right so you gotta look at it is she so she she would she ended up [09:08] doing whatever she did to be disloyal right the husband look at it and you know you got to imagine that's a whole argument [09:14] that's a whole fight they fighting they like yeah I can't believe you would do this to me this that nothing so she said [09:19] I'm not dealing with this I'm sick of your mess and she leave right she go and she gonna live with her daddy right so [09:26] now when the husband the book say the husband said he went out there to talk nice to her what that mean you probably [09:33] try to get it back you know like look baby baby baby I know you know I know we gotta do a little fight yeah I'm talking [09:38] about but you know you know I'm saying that we can work this out we can figure this out you know what I'm saying so he [09:43] chased after his woman he's like man I'm gonna give my woman back right so he go and he chase after his woman [09:48] he did that to show up and he showed up at his at his father-in-law's house how did how did books say his [09:54] father-in-law felt he was happy to see him so what did that tell you she probably getting on the father's [09:59] night oh man this woman is a darn mess you know what I'm talking about Father's like oh thank God your butt came and got [10:06] her come get her but goodness gracious you gotta be running a muck in here right so she came back and they talking [10:13] they like okay let's figure this out right Pop's like oh I'm happy to see you this is good news that you hear right so [10:19] let's see and his father-in-law the damsel's father retained him and he Abode with him three days so he did eat [10:25] and drink and stayed there and it came to pass on the fourth day when they arose early in the morning that he rose [10:30] up to depart and the devil's father said unto his son-in-law Comfort your heart with a morsel of bread and afterward go [10:36] your way he's like just just go ahead and stay here for a little bit right he said Comfort your heart after a [10:43] morsel of bread and then after that go away so don't leave right now why don't you eat a little bit first right then [10:49] watch what happened next and they sat down and did eat and drink both of them together for the damsel's father had said unto the man be content I pray the [10:55] entirely all night and let your heart be merry all right he looking like man kind of late ain't it won't you uh won't you [11:01] just stay all night and then you can go in the morning right let's see when the man rolls up to the party his father-in-law urged him therefore he [11:08] lodged there again and he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart and the damsel's father said come for [11:14] your heart I pray thee and they tarried until afternoon and they did eat both of them right he looked my ass early in the [11:20] morning now won't you why don't you just sit down get comfortable eat a little bit you can leave out a little bit later [11:26] so they they ended up eating chili and now at the afternoon he looking like man I gotta get on the road pops right let's [11:31] see you know the man rose up the depart he and his concubine and his servant his father-in-law the damsel's father said [11:37] unto him behold now the day draws towards evening I pray you Terry all night behold the day grows to an end [11:43] Lodge here that your heart may be merry and tomorrow get you early on your way that you may go home but the man will [11:49] not stay that night but he rose up and departed and came over against jeebus which is Jerusalem and there were with [11:55] him two donkeys saddled his concubine also was with him all right so now you [12:01] look at it and why do you think the the father was saying you know I'm saying like no why don't you just stick around for a little bit [12:08] why do you think that was happening I'm gonna get a little late it's like we in the hood it's rough Parts he's looking [12:14] like now I'd rather have y'all here it's probably they probably a lot of help you know I'm saying he probably lonely you [12:19] know what I'm saying he's looking like I'd rather have y'all here and we in a rough spot [12:26] right you might not want to be out here at night just just come on back there a little later right so he waited [12:33] to the afternoon then pop said it's almost evening and he's like no this time I gotta go so they going out in the [12:40] Dark Hour watch this and when they were by Divas the day was [12:45] Far spent the servant said unto his master come I pray thee and let us turn into the city of the jebusites enlarging [12:51] it right so jeebus is the same as Jerusalem all right so this is where in [12:58] the future this is where Solomon our King Solomon that we're going to learn about this is where he would have put our Temple right so it used to be called [13:05] jeebus right so he's there and uh let's see what happened to Jesus right now is [13:11] run by a different group of people they call jebusites right so these are enemies of ours are [13:18] running this town you know what I'm saying or or they it's a lot of them in this town it's kind of mixed together right so let's see what happened here [13:25] and his master said unto him we will not turn aside here into the city of a stranger that is not of the children of [13:31] Israel who pass over to gibea right so they said listen it's Jesus [13:36] this ain't our people we ain't about to stay here let's keep going to a place called what give you who's in or let's [13:43] see what the book say and he said unto his servant come and let us draw near to one of these places to Lodge all night [13:49] in gibia or in Rhema and they passed on and went their way and the sun went down [13:54] upon them when they were by gibia which belongs to Benjamin so gibia belongs to [14:00] The Tribe of Benjamin so those are our brothers they Israelites right so if we look on the map [14:08] right here okay let me put it up here [14:15] so they went from jeebus right here to give him right here [14:21] right so those are those are uh benjamites that are in this area [14:28] keep going [14:35] and they passed and went their way and the sun went down upon them when they were by gibia which belongs to Benjamin [14:41] and they turned aside dither to go in and Lodge in gibia and when he went in [14:47] he sat him down in the street of the city for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging right so now [14:54] the sun went down they didn't give you you know what I'm saying and they had to sit down on the street and why they have [15:01] to sit down the street but I have no idea because nobody came out with like yo why don't you stay with you [15:08] know I'm saying don't don't be outside come stay with us at this point nobody has said that to him so they just sat [15:13] down in the street remember they on their way back they trying to get up out of here right so they on their way back [15:18] they trying to get up out of here they sat down the street let's see what happened and behold there came an old man from [15:24] his work out of the field that evening which was also of Mount Ephraim and sojourn and gibia but the men of the [15:30] place were benjamites and when he had lift up his eyes he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city and the old [15:36] man said where are you going and where are you coming from right so it's an old man neither looking like [15:41] we are going and where y'all coming from right let's see what he said he said unto him we are passing from Bethlehem [15:48] Judah toward the side of Mount Ephraim from there am I and I went to Bethlehem Judah but I am now going to the house of [15:55] yahuwah and there is no man that receives me to house right so when he say he going to the house of yahuwah [16:01] he's talking about um Shiloh right because that's where the uh that's where the Tabernacle is so the [16:08] Tabernacle is right here right so they're coming from this area right here you know what I'm saying they they [16:14] passed through jeebus they look like now that's not our territory so they went on to gibeon but ultimately they trying to [16:20] get right about here right keep going [16:31] yeah there is both straw and provider for our donkeys and there is Bread and Wine also for me and for my handmaid and [16:37] for the young man which is with my Sir with thy servants right so what do you think of anything what he's saying is we [16:42] don't need nothing from you right you give us a little place to stay We're not gonna eat up none of your food my [16:48] donkeys is good you know what I'm saying we good we ain't gonna eat up all your resources right but you know what I'm [16:54] saying we do kind of you know I'm saying need some covering right let's see what happens the old man said peace be with thee howsoever let all thy wants lie [17:02] upon me only Lodge not in the street right so this is this is where you ever heard of southern hospitality [17:09] well it's a it's a phrase called southern hospitality and when you go down south how anybody know what [17:15] hospitality is I don't think I don't think they would like so [17:21] hospitality is when people welcome you and treat you well when you come into [17:26] their home for example when you come into their home so we live in a city that has [17:33] um what's called a hospitality industry and that's talking about hotels right [17:38] because hotels you go in the hotel and you make it like what you make it like [17:43] home so you ever you ever heard somebody say when you go to their house or something they say make yourself at home that's called that's Hospitality because [17:50] what they saying is you're out while you hear this is like your house so that's the same time the same thing that the [17:56] hospitality industry try to do they try to set you up in the hotel make sure you have a good time make sure your bed is [18:01] made for you they make sure it's all night yeah they charge you for it now but yeah they try to make sure it's all [18:07] good so Southern Hospitality comes from our people right our people it was our [18:13] law that when you come that we have to make sure we take care of people that were strangers or take take care of [18:19] people that were visiting through the land people that escaped they Masters and all that it was our job to give [18:26] those people a home so it's natural for us when he came out he looking like oh y'all on the street now don't worry [18:31] about it and when the man told him he looked like no no no I don't need nothing from you I ain't gonna want nothing from you all I need is a [18:37] covering I got my own food my donkey just fat everything taken care of the old man was like no no no no no no no no [18:44] right it's a blessing in me giving this stuff to you so no you you got to put [18:51] all of your wants on me right I'll pay for everything you keep everything you got imma pay for everything right [18:57] because he knows that it's a blessing in that like in me providing for you and being hospitable to you is a blessing [19:05] for me that's the mindset that we gotta have right we can't have these selfish mindset we trying to hold on to Every [19:11] Little Penny and hold on to every little thing we got our mindset gotta be to give when it comes to our people because [19:17] the most high God is going to look out for us in the back end after that's that sound crazy to these greedy people right [19:23] these people be grasping for dollars for the rest of their darn life and still darn broke right but it's okay you give this stuff [19:31] away you let these people this stuff is this stuff Mozart God make and create this stuff this stuff will come back to [19:36] you you know what I'm saying you ain't gotta try to chase every little dollar to pass why these people get themselves in the mess all the darn time [19:42] look at that boy Brett Favre you know what I'm talking about boy got all the darn money and you still [19:48] scamming and scheming and trying to get people and I'll take it back when you're talking about that I was like yeah they can't put them in jail I read them text [19:54] message oh like they don't put that boy in darn jail that's a federal crime he's only because he white that he about [20:00] to get away with this mess that's a federal crime you making text [20:06] messages and you trying to tell people like yo you know I'm saying find a way to get this money you a multi hundred [20:12] millionaire and you scamming poor people for a [20:18] couple million dollars from the federal government but that comes from greed [20:25] right it's a deep level of greed and you chasing this money and chasing this money and don't even need it there's [20:31] other people that chase this money and chasing money and ain't even successful you end up getting desperate for money [20:38] remember years back they had that thing going around what was that thing called the crowdfunding thing when it was like [20:44] yeah but what was it called I forgot what they called everybody was falling for that thing it was like a little you know what I'm saying you sent me five [20:50] dollars and then you get 20 from everybody you send it to and then you know what I'm saying and if they get 20 [20:56] from everybody they say I forgot what that thing would call but it was just like a little pyramid scheme that they kind of built up where people would just [21:02] cash-napping each other money and it's like y'all do realize y'all just passing around dollars and at some point [21:07] somebody gonna be left footing the bill for this you know what I'm saying but that's just [21:13] you know that's the mind we get desperate trying to chase all this money that we make decisions that's not wise [21:19] right but when you when you leveled and you content with what the most high God provided to you content enough to where [21:25] you can be hospitable to people and you can share with people and you can give without groaning about it even if you [21:30] don't even have it yourself when you have that mindset then you'll see that the most high God will flow stuff into [21:36] your life and yeah and I'm not even talking about I ain't like the pastor until you give and you be rich that's not what I'm saying what I'm saying is [21:42] you will give and you will find out that what you thought you didn't have you're gonna end up still having it you might [21:48] be just as poor you always been but you ain't gonna you ain't gonna be no poor and forgiving to somebody you're gonna be in the same position or [21:54] you're gonna do better you know because that's what the most high God do right keep going most like God ain't [22:00] worried about you being rich in this world not saying he won't do it and there's some promises in the book that he'll [22:06] make some folks Rich right so don't get me wrong I ain't saying it but that's not like that's not like a priority for [22:11] him like the most high God not looking like how do I get all the people who believe in me Rich that's not that's not how this thing works that's how they [22:17] have you believe in it if you listen to darn uh what's his name travel adopt yeah Creflo darn dollar I [22:24] heard he changed a little bit though you know Dan what do you think he admitted what is he wrong on tithing I think I [22:29] think that's what it is like he's like I was wrong on a tie you know I'm saying he just got me when he said he admitted [22:34] that he is wrong about charging people to tie it like yeah the tide in the Old Testament and and you know what I'm [22:40] saying I think he said the Levites were the only ones supposed to collect the tie whatever he said he said you know what I'm saying he's right about what he [22:45] said but he kept wrong he kept talking you know what I'm saying that's a Christian problem a Christian keep darn [22:50] talking if they just shut they darn mouth they'd be high but they just keep running their arm out he kept talking [22:56] I'm saying but you know what I don't regret it because if it wasn't for that you know [23:03] then I wouldn't be where I am now like oh but there you go well I bet you I got a lot of you got all these people money [23:09] yeah like that's the end result like you got the Woody like you know what I'm saying so I looked at you know what I'm saying I was like oh well there you go [23:15] you know what I'm saying but that's what all this stuff come from is greed man greed you gotta detach yourself from [23:21] greed you gotta detach yourself from greed that's why this book works so well for the people that downtrodden to the [23:28] people that have been stolen from and the people that don't have nothing because they've already detached themselves from greed just because of [23:34] the conditions of their life so it's more palatable it's difficult for a person to say you know I'm saying look I [23:39] got all this money I'm chasing this money I'm investing in Bitcoin in the stock market and all this stuff and I'm looking for every dollar that's passing [23:45] it's difficult for them to come to you and be like oh let me just give because they they Minds don't work that way [23:52] anything they give gotta have a return right even the people that donate stuff they looking at it like I'm donating it [23:57] for my taxes all right so everything I give has a return everything you know I'm saying it becomes greed you know say [24:04] we can't do that we got to be hospitable people right keep going watch this [24:11] so he brought him into his house and gave profit during his donkeys and they washed their feet and did eat and drink [24:17] now as they were making their hearts Mary behold the men of the city certain sons of Belial beset the house round [24:23] about right beat at the door when they say certain Sons will be loud that's talking about sons of worthlessness [24:29] right that's pretty much what they're saying colloquially right it's talking it's talking about sons of worthlessness [24:35] so it just means some some Bad actors you know what I'm saying some rough fellows yeah you know what I'm saying a [24:40] bunch of hooligans a bunch of hoodlums hooligans so they came out it's night time everybody in there eating they [24:46] feeling good they washing their darn feet why they gotta wash their feet yeah they walking remember you at or [24:52] they are walking on foot what do you think they're walking in Jordans sandals sandals they might got some sandals on [24:59] open toe you know what I'm saying they walking down and what you think the floor what you think the ground what [25:05] paid probably got paid streets that we working to walk on right now sidewalk a bunch of rocks and dirt it's like [25:12] walking through one of them empty uh one of them empty lots where there's a whole bunch of rocks and dirt it's like hiking [25:18] you don't think you ever seen a hiking trail you ever been on the hiking trail seen one in the picture or go to the park and they got the little trails and [25:24] there's always dirt yeah but they walk in it so they just walking so you gotta imagine after you

happy they watch their darn feet they clean [26:30] they feeling good books they made their heart Mary and then the boys of below you know what I'm saying them boy came [26:37] to the door to hold the hood looks Hooligans you know what they came to the door what they say [26:44] and they speak to the Master of the House the old man saying bring forth the man that came into thy house that we may know him they said bring them boys on [26:51] out we want to get to know them boy right they was gay they tried to do some gay stuff to the boys right they like [26:58] bring them boys on now we want to get to know them boy you know what I'm saying go ahead boy this boy from a different part of town bring them on now so we can [27:04] get to know him and the man the Master of the House went went out unto them and said unto them no my brother and no I [27:11] pray you do not do not so wickedly seeing that this man is coming to my house don't do this Folly right so now [27:18] the old man is trying to protect these guys because they're a guest of his home right so they feel he feel like they [27:25] under his protection so he's looking like this how our people were he's like no do not do this it's foolishness what [27:32] y'all talking about that's nasty what y'all talking about don't try to do this to these men now watch remember this is [27:39] a time when we didn't have Kings and we didn't have any leadership people just did whatever they thought was right so [27:45] look at what the old man thought was appropriate and right to do instead to save save these gentlemen this is wrong [27:52] by the way watch what they do behold here is my daughter a maiden in his concubine them I will bring out now and [27:57] humble them and do with them what seems good unto you but unto this man do not [28:03] sow such a vile thing so now he's trying to lead them back to the appropriate sex [28:08] right he's looking like listen why don't you take my daughter in this man's concubine if y'all must do something [28:15] crazy won't you take them and do it as opposed to now all of it's messed up right none of that should have happened [28:21] right they should have just been like look we going to scrap you know what I'm saying like I don't know what you got going on we got scrap but in his what he [28:28] thought was right to do is offer up the women and just say listen at least you know what I'm saying that and it might [28:33] have been strategic I know y'all don't like women yeah I know y'all y'all don't even mess with women around these part [28:38] yeah so maybe he's trying to be strategic but it ended up backfiring watch this [28:44] watch this hey wake up get up take that blanket off [28:52] so but don't be sleeping we watching a basketball game get up that's my mama that's what my mom would [28:57] have said that ain't right too [29:05] let's see but the men would not hearken to him so the man took his concubine and brought [29:11] her forth unto them and they knew her and abused her all night until the morning and when the day began to Spring [29:17] they let her go so now they raped the concubine right so this is the man's woman that he went to her father's house [29:23] and was like yo let me talk nice to her so I can get my woman back his father was like no I won't you stay for a little bit he ended up keeping them for [29:29] about six days they ended up leaving then uh you know I'm saying just before the evening of the sixth day and then [29:35] all of a sudden they go they passed through uh uh jeebus then they ended up went uh went to uh gibia when they got [29:42] to gibia they was like okay we found the old man they went to his house now the old man trying to keep these people off [29:47] he offered up his daughter in the concubine then they take the concubine they rape her they abuse her all darn [29:54] night and then watch what happened with her [29:59] then came the woman in the dawning of the day and fell down at the door of the man's house where her Lord was till it [30:04] was light and her Lord rose up in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way and [30:09] behold the woman his concubine was falling down at the door of the house and her hands were upon the on the threshold all right so all night they [30:16] they dealt with this woman and she came back and she crawled her way back to the door and she left her hands like that [30:23] and she died right there right so she died outside so now he comes out and he [30:28] opens the door and he sees her right there watch this and he said unto her up and let us get [30:33] going but none answered right then the man took her up on a donkey and [30:40] the man rolls up and got him onto his place right so he looked at it remember this the same woman he just left to go [30:46] get right there's the whole point that he was out there then they take her they abuse him abuser [30:54] right she ended up crawling her way back to the door imagine the woman you know it's a woman that you love just sitting [30:59] there you know what I'm saying and her hand stretched out his butt should have been out there fighting and you know what I'm saying just died with her but [31:05] you know whatever you know what I'm saying people you know what I'm saying at this point they did whatever they thought was right but did her hand stretched out like that he think perhaps [31:12] she's still alive he opened it Eli let's go hoping that she's still alive no answer [31:18] the book say so he had to pick up her body and put her on his donkey and then what happened and he got into his place and when he [31:25] was coming to his house he took a knife and laid hold on his concubine and divided her together with her bones into [31:31] 12 pieces and sent her into all the coast of Israel so now what he did after that is he took his wife but body [31:37] right and he cut his or contiban's body and he cut her up right he cut our body up into 12 pieces [31:45] now for us we look at that like oh that's crazy right that sounds like something you know I'm saying what that [31:51] documentary is that right now Jeffrey Dahmer that sounds like some Jeffrey Dahmer stuff right you know about that younger youngin but the reason why the [32:00] reason why he's able to do something like that because it was a different time right during this time everybody [32:07] was familiar with cutting up animals right right now we don't have to deal with cutting up no animals you know what [32:13] we do we go to the grocery store and then we get a pack and you know they [32:18] got a little sticker on it and they say it's this many pounds and this is the price per pound and this is the total [32:23] price and they scan it you know what I'm saying so when we get the ground beef that makes our burgers and our tacos and [32:29] all that stuff you know what I'm saying that's already packaged but that used to be a cow so somebody had to take the cow [32:35] cut the cow up cut the cow up in a whole bunch of pieces and then when they get all the pieces after they get done [32:42] cutting they like I can't do nothing with this they stick this in the machine that grinds it and turns it and it turns [32:47] into ground beef and then that's where our Burgers come from right so it's like we don't have to deal [32:53] with that because we pay people you know I'm saying people get paid to handle that and we pay people at the store to [32:58] give us the finished product right but at this time it was no supermarkets there was no corner stores there wasn't [33:04] none of that stuff everybody had to get it in for sale so the average person was used to cutting up an animal or [33:11] witnessing somebody cutting up an animal right so it was it wasn't as it was it [33:17] was a lot more what we would call brutal and a lot more you know I'm saying Gore three yeah I'm saying that was normal [33:24] palatable for them it was a lot more power to be able to cut up your wife because what he's trying to do he's not [33:30] trying to do nothing malicious malicious towards his wife he's trying to send a message so he takes his wife and he cuts [33:37] her up right cuts her up and he makes 12 12 different pieces right how many [33:43] tribes of Israel are there it's 12 tries to Israel very good right [33:51] so it's 12 tribes of Israel he cut one for each tribe let's see what happens [33:57] and it was so that all that's all it said there was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of [34:04] Israel came out of the land of Egypt until this day consider of it take advice and speak your minds all right so [34:10] we sent it to all the tribes because he's trying to make sure everybody knows these boys these Benjamins these [34:18] benjamites and gibea are crazy I ain't never heard of no stuff like [34:25] this and they killed my woman right so he cut her up this is evidence [34:30] here we go send it y'all let me know if y'all ever heard of some craziness like this in Israel right let's see keep [34:37] going then all the children of Israel went out and the congregation was gathered together as one man from Dan even a [34:43] Beersheba with the land of with the land of Gilead unto the Lord and mispay right so when you say from Dan even the [34:50] Beersheba right you gotta look on the map so Dan is right up here that's all [34:56] the way at the top Beersheba is way down here right so what he's saying is all the way [35:03] from the north to the South you know I'm saying everybody came together it's like saying the whole country yep [35:12] and the chief of all the people even of all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the Assembly of the people of God 400 000 footmen that Drew the [35:19] sword now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to mispay then said the children of [35:25] Israel tell us how was this wickedness and the levite the husband of the woman that was slain answered and said I came [35:32] to gibe that belongs to Benjamin me and my concubine to Lodge and the men of [35:38] gibea Rose against me and beset the house round about upon me by night and thought to have slain me and my cocky [35:45] behind have they forced that she is dead and I took my concubine and cut her in pieces and centered throughout all the [35:51] country of the inheritance of Israel for they have committed lewdness and Folly in Israel behold you are the children of [35:58] Israel give here your advice and counsel and all the people arose as one man saying we will not any of us go to his [36:04] tent neither will any of us turn into his house but now this shall be the thing which we will do to give you we [36:11] will go up by a lot of against it and we will take the 10 we will take 10 men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of [36:17] Israel in a hundred of a thousand and a thousand out of ten thousand to fetch victual for the people that they may do [36:24] when they come to gibe of Benjamin according to all the Folly that they have brought in Israel so all the men of [36:30] Israel were gathered against the city knit together as one man and the tribes of Israel sent men throughout all the [36:35] tribes of Benjamin saying what Wick is it what wickedness is that this that is done among you [36:42] now therefore Deliver Us the men the children of Belial which are in gibea that we may put them to death and put [36:48] away evil from Israel right so all other tribes came together and they went to Benjamin and they said Benjamin yo go [36:55] ahead and give up you know I'm saying the people in gibia that was responsible for this madness right [37:00] everybody you know I'm saying they got they got the crew together they got up a lot in other words they they kind of [37:05] like almost rolled dice to like choose a person right so they start choosing the People by Rolling you know by just by [37:12] chance they got up a lot they come together and they say look Benjamin who whoever is responsible for this [37:17] foolishness cinnamon out here we gonna punish them Watch What Happens [37:23] but the children of Benjamin gathered them gathered themselves together out of the Cities unto gibea to go out to [37:29] battle against the children of Israel right so you ever had like a family memory you know I'm saying you ever had like a family member and you know I'm [37:36] saying maybe your family member did something messed up to somebody who not in your family but that's your family so [37:41] when they come and they looking like yo you know I'm saying why you do that you know what I'm saying instead of you going to your family member because you [37:47] know that it's wrong you know what I'm saying tell them like nah you messed up you shouldn't have did that for real you [37:52] like ain't nobody about to talk to my cousin like that right so that's what Benjamin did Benjamin looked like oh [37:58] no no you know they don't care what they did y'all ain't about to come around here on that mess [38:03] boy you in our territory now y'all might want to relax so Benjamin they stood [38:09] they ground and they said no we gonna protect our brothers watch this [38:14] which is against the law it's against our law shouldn't have been it shouldn't have done that right but I want y'all to know this is [38:21] what people do on The Daily right on the daily people will stand up for their family members or fans stand [38:28] up for their friends against somebody that they see as Outsiders even if it's wrong [38:33] right and some of us have been taught to do that right when I was growing up you don't [38:39] knowledge your family first you know I'm saying I don't care what's going on you deal with that stuff later [38:44] but in the public you always stay with your but I always talk with that foolishness I don't believe in that stuff now [38:50] you wrong you're going wrong what oh yeah I can't defend you now yeah no you wrong you're doing wrong I got that [38:57] anybody's hearing go to hell with no darn family I don't make no sense why would I do that family don't even serve the most I got [39:10] listen I defend the one that serve the most high God you serve the most like God I ain't got nothing to be ashamed of [39:18] right let's see keep going and the children of Benjamin would numbered at that time out [39:24] of the city's 26 000 men that Drew the sword besides the inhabitants of gibia so now I want y'all to keep an eye on [39:29] these numbers 26 000 men in this in in Benjamin right so [39:35] it's 26 000 in Benjamin keep eye on that number watch this [39:41] beside the inhabitants of gibia which were numbered 700 chosen men [39:46] among all this people there were 700 chosen men left-handed everyone could [39:51] sling stones at a hair breath and not miss right the one from gibia it was 700 [39:56] of them all of them was left-handed and they said he can sling stones and he could hit a darn strand of hair [40:04] you know what I'm talking about that's the aim that they got you take you take a little just pluck a little strand of hair throw it in the air like that that [40:11] boy and then sling the throne that and that [ __ ] hit the hair that's how bad the boy was 700 of them too [40:18] right and they had 26 000 a day regular Bender might just ready you know I'm saying with the scraps right watch this [40:25] we're gonna compare that to the rest of Israel if you remember all of Israel all of the other 11 tribes are coming [40:31] against yams and Benjamin right now right who you think gonna be outnumbered [40:39] if it's one tribe against 11 who you think will have more people the 11 tribes right let's see what [40:47] happens in the men of Israel beside Benjamin [40:53] we're numbered 400 000 men that Drew the sword how many were Men of War 400 000. [40:58] 400 000. compared to 26 000. [41:06] right so you got 26 000 benjamites on one side right and then 400 000 on the [41:14] other side who would look good for [41:20] the 400 000 right they look like they're gonna win this pretty easily but watch what happens in [41:27] the children of Israel Rose and went up to the house of God and asked Council of God and said which of us shall go up [41:33] first to battle against the children of Benjamin and yahuwah said Judah shall go up first and the children of Israel rose [41:39] up in the morning and he camped against gibia and the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin and the men of [41:45] Israel put themselves in a raid to fight against the mcgibia Russia and the children of Benjamin came forth out of [41:51] gibia and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day 22 000 men [41:56] right so the 26 000 knocked off 22 000 of the four hundred thousand men they [42:04] won right watch this and the people the men of Israel encourage themselves and set [42:10] their battle away battle again an array in the place where they put themselves an array at the first day and the children of Israel went up and wept [42:17] before yahuwah until even and asked Council of yahuwah saying shall I go up again to battle against the children of [42:22] Benjamin my brother and the Lord said go up against him and the children of Israel came near against the children of [42:28] Benjamin the second day and Benjamin went forth against them out of gibea the second day and destroyed down to the [42:34] ground of the children of Israel again 18 000 men all right so this is Drew the sword this time they killed 18 000. all [42:41] right so the first time it was a 22 000 yeah the second time 18 000 of these boys right so the children have been the [42:48] the benjamites they chopping the Israelites down right some of it because these boys can [42:55] throw a slingshot like you guys think of like a slingshot like a pistol [43:00] right so you boy got good aim with the pistol he boy just check it shake it and [43:06] the sleeves are you a spin it you'll spin it like this you know what I'm saying until you work up the speed you [43:11] know what I'm saying and when you work up to speed you sling it out and it'll go straight out because you've been spinning it you know what I'm saying [43:17] it's it's the velocity of it is going so fast when you let it go you know what I'm saying and hit people in the head [43:23] you know what I'm saying then knock them out so that's what they doing you know I'm saying them boys is good where they can do that thing and hit it and the [43:30] book said it can hit a hair like you just take a hair a strand of hair throw it in the air and they they gonna hit the head right outside that's not good [43:36] that's how much aim they got so you gotta imagine even though they far outnumbered you gotta come into my [43:43] territory right so since you coming into my territory we ain't got like this wide [43:48] open battle oh every time you come [ __ ] [ __ ] I'm just popping your butt with [43:54] rocks you know if they ain't coming in Clint young boy come to Clank you know what I'm saying clink you know what I'm saying they're falling out walking up [44:00] the Benjamin's like uh no y'all don't want the problem so they knock off 22 000 that's a lot of you gotta understand [44:05] that's a lot of people 22 000 people 22 000 people is like more people if you [44:11] watch a football game or watch a basketball game and look at the whole crowd that's more people than that [44:17] ours are not more 22 000 is not more than that tweet that's like that many [44:22] people right it's gonna be more people in the in the stadium but you know I'm saying that's like seeing that that [44:28] amount of people right keep going watch this then all the children of Israel and all all the [44:35] people of Israel and all the people went up and came into the house of God and wept and there sat before the Lord and [44:40] fasted the day until even offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord and the children of Israel inquired [44:46] of the Lord for the Ark of the Covenant of God was there in those days and Phineas the son of Eliezer the son of [44:52] Aaron stood before it in those days saying shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin [44:59] my brother or shall I cease and the Lord said go up for tomorrow I will deliver them into thine hand and Israel said [45:05] liars and wait round about gibea and the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day [45:10] and put themselves in a ray against gibia as at other times and the children of Benjamin went out against the people [45:16] and were drawn away from the city and they began to Smite the people and kill as a as the other times in the highways [45:22] of which one goes up to the house of God and the other to gibia in the field about 30 men of Israel and the children [45:28] of Benjamin said they are smitten before us as as the first but the children of Israel said let us flee and draw them [45:35] from the city into the highways and all the men of Israel rose up out of their place and put themselves in a ray at [45:40] bayal Tamar and the lies and weight of Israel came forth out of their places even out of The Meadows of gibea [45:47] and there came against gibea ten thousand children men out of Israel and the battle was soared but they knew not [45:53] that evil was near them right so in other words what happened was they went in this third time to fight him but when [46:00] they fought him this time they like kind of ran away and they kind of they drew them out of their City a little bit more [46:06] so as they ran away and retreated and was like oh we losing just like we lost the first couple times you know I'm [46:12] saying the people of gibia started running out so the benjamites are sitting there and they running out and they're getting away from the land well [46:18] secretly the Israelites had ten thousand other men that was uh with the book called lion and weight so they they're [46:24] sitting there on the side Hiding Out near their city so when they leave the city they go into the City and they are [46:30] able to get them on the other side so watch this and the Lord spoke Benjamin before [46:36] Israel and the children of Israel destroyed of the benjamites that day 25 000 and a hundred and a hundred men all [46:43] right so 25 000 in a month so remember they had 26 000 they haven't said they had 700 you know I'm saying boys with [46:50] the slingshot so now they ended up killing 25 000 of them right so at least very [46:56] little people left yeah I'm saying in comparison to what they had in terms of that can fight right this is important because this is [47:04] going to drive in to what we see coming out of Benjamin in the next coming books that we read right keep going so the [47:10] children of Benjamin saw that they were submitting for the men of Israel gave place to the benjamites because they trusted unto the liars and wait which [47:16] they had set beside gibia and the Liars in weight hasted and rushed upon gibia and the liars and Wade Drew themselves [47:23] along and smote all the city with the edge of the sword now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel [47:28] and the liars and wait that they should make a great flame with Smoke Rise up out of the city and when the men of [47:34] Israel retired in battle Benjamin began to Smite and kill other men of Israel about 30 persons for they said surely [47:41] they are smitten down before us as is the first battle but when the flame began to rise up out of the city with a [47:47] pillar of smoke the benjamites looked behind to me behold the flame of the city and ascended up into heaven and [47:52] when the men of Israel turned again the men and Benjamin were amazed and they saw that evil was come upon them [47:57] therefore they turn their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the Wilderness but the battle overtook them [48:03] and them which came out of the Cities they destroyed in the midst of them thus they enclosed the benjamites roundabout [48:10] and chased them and trolled them down with ease over against gibia toward the sun rising and their fell of Benjamin [48:16] eighteen thousand men all these were Men of Valor and they turned and fled toward the Wilderness unto the rock of Ramon [48:22] and they gleaned from them in the highways five thousand men and pursued hard after them and to get them and slew [48:29] two thousand men of them so that all which failed that day of Benjamin with 25 000 men that Drew the sword all these [48:35] were Men of Valor but 600 men turned and fled to the Wilderness into the Rock Ramon in a bowling The Rock Remo in four [48:41] months and the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin and smote them with the edge of the sword as [48:47] well the men of every city as the Beast and all that came to hand also they sat on [48:54] fire all the cities that they came to all right so they ended up setting these cities on fire messing up their cities [48:59] they made a mess of their stuff right because they ended up going to war against all Israel and the way it is [49:05] looking at it is it didn't have to be that way you could have just gave up the people that was responsible for the foolishness and that would have been it [49:11] you know I'm saying I would have been it and that's according to our law that should have happened anyway right but they ended up setting up a whole war and [49:18] you know they knew it would be that way that's why he said that's why he had to send the message that way that's why [49:23] everybody came out already prepared for the war because they already knew obviously the benjamites got a [49:28] reputation which is why you know I'm saying the father-in-law was sitting there looking like you know I'm saying [49:33] uh you know I'm just trust me why don't y'all just stay around I don't want you to just hang out a little bit you know what I'm saying I [49:39] had a feeling that this thing ain't gonna turn out right right because you could tell they already had a reputation they must have had a reputation because [49:45] when he sent out the message the first thing everybody did was I get the armies together like they knew we got to deal [49:51] with Benjamin get the Army together you know how these boys like to act their boys are rowdy [49:56] and they got them slingshots you know you probably everybody probably know about them slingshot them boy bad with that slingshot it's like man I'll go [50:03] ahead and get you know I'm saying get everybody you know get everybody trust me you know I'm gonna get everybody because you see they they did some [50:09] damage them boys they did some damage you know what I'm saying so it was tough let's keep going watch this [50:16] now the men of Israel had sworn and missed pay saying that shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to [50:21] wife right so now the now that they they they only left them with you know I'm saying a little over a thousand people [50:28] you know I'm saying less than 2 000 people that that fight in the war you [50:33] know what I'm saying so they left them a little over 2 000 men that's ready for war right and so you can imagine that [50:39] they population then would then dwindle very quickly because they don't have a [50:45] lot of men to help make babies so they say you know what we are not going what [50:51] there shall not any of us give uh give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife and the people came to the house of God in [50:57] the boat there till even before God and lift up their voices and wept sore and said oh Lord God of Israel why has this [51:03] come to pass in Israel that there should be today One Tribe lacking in Israel and it came to pass on tomorrow that the [51:10] people Rose early and built an altar and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings and the children of Israel [51:15] said who was there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the Lord for they had [51:21] made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the Lord admit to Ms pay saying he shall surely be put to death [51:27] the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother and said there is one tribe cut off from Israel this day [51:34] how shall we do for wives how should we do for wise for them that remain seeing [51:40] we have sworn by the Lord that we will not give them our daughters to why and they said what one is there of the [51:46] tribes of Israel that came not up to mispay to the Lord and behold there came none to the camp from James Gilead to [51:52] the assembly for the people were numbered and behold there were none of the inhabitants of jabish Gilead there [51:57] and the congregation sent there 12 000 men of the of the valiantists and [52:03] commanded them saying go and smite the inhabitants of gave Davis Gillies with the edge of the sword with the women and [52:08] children and this is the thing that you shall do you shall utterly destroy every male every woman that has lined by man [52:15] and they found among the inhabitants of James Gilly at 400 young virgins that [52:20] had not known no man by lying with any male and they brought them unto the camp [52:25] to Shiloh which is in the land of Canaan and the whole congregation sent some to [52:30] speak to the children of it to Children of Benjamin that were in the Rock Ramon and [52:36] to call peaceably unto them and Benjamin came again at that time and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of [52:42] the women of jabus Gilead and yet so they suffice them not and the people repented them for Benjamin because that [52:48] the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel then the Elders of the congregation said how shall we do for [52:54] wise for them that remain seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin and they said there must be an [53:00] inheritance for them that be escaped to Benjamin that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel how be it we may not give [53:06] them wives of our daughters for the children of Israel have sworn saying curse be he that gives a wife to Benjamin then they said behold there is [53:14] a feast of the Lord in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel on the east side of the highway [53:19] that goes up from Bethel to shechem and on the south of Lebanon therefore they command they commanded [53:27] the children of Benjamin saying go and lie and wait in the vineyard and see and behold if the daughters of Shiloh come [53:32] out to dance and dances then Come Ye out of The Vineyards and catch you every man his wife the daughter of Xylo and go to [53:39] the land of Benjamin and it shall be when their fathers or their Brethren come unto us to complain that we will say unto them be favorable unto them for [53:46] our sakes because we reserve not to each man his wife in the war for you did not give unto them at this time that you [53:53] should be guilty and the children of Benjamin did so and took them wives according to their number and them that danced whom they [53:59] caught and they went and returned to their inheritance and repaired the cities and dwelt in them and the children of Israel departed from there [54:06] at that time every man to his tribe and to his family and they went out from there every man to his inheritance in [54:12] those days there was no king in Israel every man did which was right in his own eyes so this entire book [54:19] what we've been reading is people making decisions not based off [54:25] of the law of the most high God they just do whatever they thought was right so if we look at how this ended you had [54:32] a tribe right that the whole all of the tribes combined themselves together to [54:39] go against this one tribe they ended up killing almost all of them they killed all the women and children and they left [54:45] just a you know I'm saying under 2 000 of them that was Men of War that's the [54:51] only thing was left so they go from a tribe of you know I'm saying probably 50 000 people to be in a tribe of you know [54:57] I'm saying 1 000 people or two thousand people right so in doing that they said [55:03] they already made a value because they did this we want to eradicate them but then they thought about it they were [55:08] like man we can't mess around and like literally get rid of a tribe but we already made a vow that we can't give [55:14] them our our daughters we can't help them rebuild their tribe right with our with our people [55:20] so they're like hmm we also made a vow whoever don't come up and help us fight against them them boys [55:27] ought to be put to death they're like I'll tell you what let's go and fight against the people that didn't [55:34] come up and fight we'll kill those men and will it kill the women that been with the men but we'll leave The Virgins [55:43] so the little pure girls they'll leave them okay that seems like a good plan so [55:49] they're like but we still can't directly like kind of make that happen because we culpable so they say you know what the [55:56] single One's Gonna Be out here Dan you know you're gonna know they single because they gonna be out here dancing right are you gonna know even if they [56:03] ain't single you know if they with the business they gonna be out there dancing they looking like listen the ones that [56:09] come when you traveling up and down the Shiloh for the feast the ones in this area that be out here [56:15] dancing and shaking their butt them the ones go ahead and take your wife right so that's what they that's [56:22] what the benjamites ended up doing they ended up hiding out seeing them seeing the girls out there partying oh hey the [56:28] party girl okay she losing with it come on you know what I'm saying take her back they take her back home and then they end up rebuilding their cities that [56:34] way all right so their population is very very very low and you can see that [56:40] it's just wrong decisions on top of wrong decisions our law has something [56:45] for all of this right this whole shebang there was something that our law that would have prevented all of this madness [56:52] it wasn't no vows needed to be made you ain't got to sit here and try to trick people out of their wives and not a day [56:58] you ain't got to do none of that stuff or larger would have said give up the people that did it right and that is it [57:05] put them to death and that's it at the very beginning that thing would have been done men are below knock at the [57:10] door oh no that's what y'all trying to do now that's a sin call the judges handled [57:17] these boys put them to death they all would have been stoned it would have been done right that thing would have been done it [57:24] would have been a moot point nobody would have had to you know I'm saying go through all this foolishness but when you don't have a law then everything [57:30] gets compounded on everything and you get this huge situation that all this loss of life and people look at it like [57:38] I can't believe we here that's that's the mindset that the people are like oh we killed all them [57:43] boys like oh we gonna mess around or actually get rid of a whole tribe out of Israel we can't do that so now they're [57:48] starting to think about they okay how do we fix it so you make one wrong decision and you try to fix it with another wrong [57:54] decision and it just compounds and makes things worse this is something that goes on in our lives every day that's why I [58:00] like this book for our time because it's a picture of how we still make decisions like this all the time people just it's [58:07] like okay well you know what I'm um you know what I'm saying I'm a I'm a lit this type of life you know [58:13] what I'm saying and and and I'ma help myself forget about this type of life [58:19] that I'm living by drinking yeah I'm saying not only am I living a bad life but then I'm gonna start drinking to [58:24] help myself forget about this you know what I'm saying I'm gonna go out there running around and then uh oh I end up [58:29] getting pregnant so you know what I'ma Do I'm gonna get an abortion right and [58:35] get rid of the baby right so these are the types of decisions that we end up making and it compounds the wrong [58:41] decision and it puts us in a position where we have more and more things that we need to fix [58:47] right instead of fixing it at the front because it's easy if you fix it in the front it's a tough decision up front but [58:53] it's easier to fix it up front than to fix it always like you know I'm saying unfortunately I'm one of the people you [58:59] know I'm saying a lot of people come to for advice or whatever unfortunately unfortunately however you look at it right but sometimes it's tough right [59:05] because what happens is people don't want to come to me early in their problem [59:11] you know what I'm saying like early in the problem like nah figure it out or they too embarrassed or whatever you know what I'm saying they make one bad [59:17] decision but if you came early it's easy we can fix it you know then you come [59:23] earlier just like this but no what happens if people try to fix stuff they sell they make one bad decision to cover [59:29] it up but this match didn't cover it up with that and then they end up coming to me when it's all like when that thing is [59:35] just out of control it's too much they're like goodness we gotta unravel this whole shebang [59:41] like goodness gracious but that's what happened you have so much to deal with [59:46] now you got so much build up and so much backup so now it tastes too much it [59:52] becomes overwhelming right we gotta learn how to resolve our issues and fix these things before they [59:57] blow out of control right just go and it's tough sometimes you know I'm saying you got to be the bad guy and sometimes [60:03] they ain't don't feel you know what I'm saying it's cool that's all right you know I'm saying you gotta you just do it [60:09] all right you just do it one thing I um one thing I read online recently was uh [60:17] uh uh it was about White Lies you know what I'm saying and it was [60:23] saying pretty much I can't remember the quote exactly but pretty much it was basically saying people tell White Lies [60:29] and they try to they try to say that they tell White Lies you know what I'm saying not to hurt the other person's [60:34] feelings you know I'm saying to make the other person feel good they try to make it seem like it's a selfless act but [60:40] that's not the truth they're like the White Lies is really the most selfish act because you worried about how people [60:47] look at you you know you want people to you want people to celebrate you and you don't want people to you don't want [60:52] people to to separate themselves from you or to ridicule you or you know I'm saying to reject you because you said [60:58] you told them the truth that they might not like you know I'm saying and we have to get that type of stuff out of our men so a lot of times that's what some of [61:04] our problems come through we're not confronting the problem right it's problems in our life and there's problems are going on and we [61:10] don't want to confront them we try to find work around or ways to address it while maintaining our perception [61:16] sometimes you just got to get that thing out there yeah I messed up and that's how it is and yeah you messed up too and [61:21] that's how it is and this is where we at and we got to deal with it right have we done that in this situation our [61:28] Brethren wouldn't have been reduced down to you know less than 2 000 people and we wouldn't have to you know kind of [61:33] trick our other brother into losing their wives and they and their daughters to them you know what I'm saying so it [61:39] put us in a very tough position as a people and you're gonna see as we continue to read then you're gonna see [61:45] it's a lot of Downstream impact that come from this and a whole perception of these people and they ended up they you [61:51] know to benjamice is going to end up being like this tribe that's pretty much weak throughout our history you know I'm [61:56] saying it's only going to be you know a couple things that happen um but the most high God is going to try [62:01] to make good with some of it so we're gonna go through the history and you just gonna see how some of the things play out but you don't see that Benjamin [62:08] never really regains that strength throughout the history any questions [62:15] all right well that's the Book of Judges next week we going on to the book of
