Happy Sunday, everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the daily Bible podcast.

3

Lord's day.

4

It's a good day.

5

It is, it is, Hey, a resource that

I wanted to suggest based on our

6

conversation on feelings, feelings.

7

There it is.

8

Uh, that my wife reminded me about that.

9

Uh, it's specifically for the ladies

out there, but it is the book by

10

Carolyn Mahaney called a true feelings.

11

Uh, yeah, by Carolyn McKinney.

12

Mahaney, but, uh, my wife has found it

immensely valuable to her and it addresses

13

things specifically, obviously from a

female perspective, but really focuses on.

14

Our feelings are valid as they

correspond to what is valuable to God.

15

Okay.

16

Um, rather than a helpful thought than

what is valuable specifically to us,

17

because it talks about getting caught

in the riptides of different emotions,

18

like jealousy or bitterness or anger.

19

These things that can sweep over us when

we evaluate something that God has not.

20

Place the same value on.

21

And so our feelings are,

are valid when they're in.

22

In congruence with what God values.

23

That makes perfect sense.

24

Yeah.

25

Uh, a recommendation for the guys.

26

Is is not called true feelings.

27

This one's called uprooting anger.

28

By Robert D.

29

Jones.

30

Subtitled biblical help

for a common problem.

31

I think probably for men, this is going to

be the one that most readily shows itself.

32

And so this is probably a short,

but very punchy and helpful book.

33

Dealing with those feelings,

if you happen to have them.

34

And I think after you read this book, you

might find yourself saying, you know what.

35

I think I do have this.

36

Yeah.

37

I've used that book multiple times

recommended that in counseling.

38

So that's a, that's a great one.

39

Yep.

40

Any others while we're at it, since

we're recommending resources here?

41

Uh, that's the only one that had

prepared off the top of my head, man.

42

I'm not.

43

I'm not ready to.

44

Through more, but if you have more.

45

I'm sure.

46

I'm sure you do.

47

I.

48

I like books.

49

I could recommend books

that are helpful, but.

50

So by Bob Jones.

51

Uh, not, not Bob Jones from

the university, but Robert

52

Jones is his full name.

53

Bob Jones, I guess it probably true

for Bob Jones university as well.

54

Isn't it?

55

Anyway.

56

Bob Jones.

57

Has a resource that I go to

over and over again, it's called

58

the gospel for disordered life.

59

The gospel.

60

Oh, for just.

61

Yeah, just the gospel.

62

There's a, there's a,

there's the rest of that.

63

The gospel for disordered

lives by Bob Jones.

64

He as a coauthor, um, Bob green.

65

Uh, and something Kellen.

66

I forget not, not Kellen

from, from the Aliso vehicle.

67

Not that one, but anyhow.

68

Uh, Robert D.

69

Jones.

70

So he's also behind the book that I

just recommended the anger, uprooting

71

anger, but he has a sticker it's

kind of a textbook, but it's better,

72

better thought of as a reference book.

73

Um, for biblical counseling called

the gospel for disordered lives.

74

One of my favorite purchases.

75

Awesome.

76

Yeah.

77

I just thought of another one that

I actually just finished reading.

78

Five lies of our anti-Christian

age by Rosaria Butterfield.

79

That one Butterfield has something

to do with our feelings, but it's

80

more, um, Rosaria, Butterfield, former

feminist, who, uh, pursued an unnatural

81

relationship if I can put it that way.

82

And then she was converted and is

now married and has children as well.

83

And so.

84

Um, she's got quite the

testimony, but great book.

85

Processing through a lot of the arguments,

which are feeling based from our culture

86

regarding things along the lines of

gender identity and so forth and so on.

87

And in that camp.

88

So five lives of our anti-Christian

age, I would commit it to you.

89

It's a good read.

90

Really anything desires written.

91

I've loved.

92

I've not read that one yet.

93

And I have, I'll get to it at some point.

94

But the three books before this,

the secret thoughts of an unlikely

95

convert, openness unhindered.

96

And I think the one before this,

the gospel comes with the house key.

97

Yep.

98

All.

99

All of those were so good.

100

Yep.

101

Yep.

102

Yeah.

103

So there you go.

104

There's some, uh, Some reading

material for you this summer.

105

We've got to maybe, maybe just maybe

pass around and I'll put together like

106

a summer reading list, like, oh man.

107

Molar does.

108

I've got recommendations.

109

And we probably notice there as

fun as Molly are you on good reads.

110

Do you, are you on the Goodrich thing?

111

I am.

112

And I'm trying to update it more

this year than I ever have, because.

113

Kind of jumped on and off in the past.

114

I was on.

115

Super early and same.

116

So I'm trying to be more faithful.

117

Oh, well, let's, let's do it together.

118

Then.

119

I'll faithfully update mine.

120

You face.

121

We'll try to help our audience,

our church and our audience.

122

Uh, find some good books to read.

123

Yeah.

124

So if you don't have good reads, it's a,

it's an app that you can social media.

125

Actually, it is social

media, but it's a it's.

126

It's a productive social media.

127

It's a positive social

media, all around books.

128

Um, yeah, it's a way for you to

put onto your different shelves,

129

what you want to read, what you're

currently reading, you can update

130

your status and what you're reading.

131

You can see right in your book.

132

Beause ratings on books.

133

That'll be helpful.

134

Yeah.

135

Yeah.

136

So we would invite you to join

on and follow us on there.

137

Yeah.

138

Good.

139

Good reads is the app.

140

So you can get good reads.

141

The Bible is a pretty good reading.

142

It's the best reading.

143

I would say it to the best read.

144

Second Samuel 19 through 21

second, Samuel 19 through 21.

145

Uh, rejoins the action

following Absalom's death.

146

So you'll remember, uh, Absalom

was caught between these tree

147

branches and Joanne killed them by

running him through with his Spears.

148

After David had said,

Hey, don't kill my son.

149

Deal gently with him.

150

Uh, job's certainly did not deal gently

with, uh, with Absalom now in the

151

aftermath of this, David is morning and

he's in grief in, in verses five and six.

152

Joanne comes in and confronts David

over his grief and says you have

153

turned in what should be a day of

celebration into a day of mourning.

154

Uh, for your people and, uh,

I mean, I, I think we talked

155

about this briefly yesterday.

156

I think job's right in this.

157

I think this is good counsel from job yet.

158

Again, similar to when he was recovering

from a sin with, or the confrontation

159

from Nathan after the sin with Bathsheba

and the death of his son and job comes

160

home and says, Hey, you need to come

see you have this victory for us.

161

Come be the king that people

need you to be the king.

162

Similarly here.

163

He's saying, look, you've been restored.

164

You need to come back and, and

take your rightful place again.

165

I agree.

166

Yeah.

167

This is a good move from

Joanne against shrewd guy.

168

Uh, a murderer at the same time, and

we're going to see some more of that

169

soon, but at this point, this juncture.

170

I would say he's a, he's a worthy friend.

171

Yeah.

172

I mean, even if it hurts and that's

what a good friend will do though,

173

a friend who will confront you.

174

And challenge you in

the best way possible.

175

And I don't know, a judge motivation

is a, hopefully it's a good one.

176

Hopefully it's for the king and

for the nation, it seems like

177

it is, this is a good move.

178

Yeah, it is a good move.

179

Uh, it's not going to pay off for him

though, because when David returns

180

to Jerusalem, David takes another.

181

Individual a Massa and replaces Joanne

with this man, a massive as his military

182

commander and David's strength of

leadership is, is seen here in this

183

passage, as he reunites the people

after this brief civil war has broken

184

out, but that's kind of his return.

185

Uh, back to Jerusalem there

where Absalom had been, and

186

he had fled and now he's back.

187

And so David takes his place again.

188

Uh, verses 16 through 39, then we see

some of David's magnanimous mercy.

189

As he issued pardons to some of the

chief offenders, including even shimmy

190

I who had thrown rocks at him and

cursed him as he left a reus alum.

191

Awesome.

192

Um, and this is the text where we seen

the Fitbit chef come forward and reveals

193

their to David, or at least claims that

Zeba had deceived him, left him behind.

194

And then slandered him to

David and David's response.

195

There was to order that the land

should be divided, but Mephibosheth's

196

says, Hey, look, I'm just happy.

197

You're back.

198

And that again is what leads us to, to

conclude that we think that Mafibisha.

199

was probably the truth teller.

200

Uh, in, in this conflict rather than Zeba.

201

Um, and then in verses 31 through 39,

David identifies a, uh, individual by the

202

name of Barilla, which I thought was, was.

203

Very close to the pasta, Barilla pasta.

204

Yeah, anyways.

205

The LA bar?

206

No.

207

But Barilla, Barilla, Barilla.

208

Yeah.

209

Bart, Bart Barcelona.

210

I read.

211

Is there a Z?

212

I did.

213

I miss K.

214

Maybe I'm looking at verse 39.

215

What verse did you say this again?

216

Yeah, the 31 through 39.

217

I may, maybe I missed this bar.

218

Zillah yeah, I miss the Z.

219

So my bad, it doesn't have

anything to do with pasta, pasta.

220

No.

221

Which is a bummer.

222

I did like a good pasta meat too, man.

223

But it, uh, David, I notified him

and shows him honor as somebody who

224

helped him when he fled from Absalom.

225

So kind of a cool thing.

226

We don't know much about this

guy, aside from that, but.

227

Here he is honored in scripture

for what he is, has done.

228

And then the finally the chapter

ends with the Israelites fighting.

229

Over where David should reside in, perhaps

the earliest signs of some of the strain

230

that would lead to the divided monarchy.

231

You see some of the Northern tribes.

232

The pitch and a fit a little

bit about Judah being the

233

place of his residence and a.

234

And so there's, there's some cracks in

the facade here that aren't going to

235

fully emerge for another generation after

this, but they may be forming right now.

236

So I can see my chapter 20, then

the division at the end of second

237

CMO, 19 leads, a worthless man

named Sheba to attempt to accrue,

238

to lure the Northern tribes away

from David and David dispatched.

239

A massive remember he replaced Joanne with

a massive, so he just pass it dispatches.

240

Uh, Massa along with Joe and Abishai

and the army to quell the rebellion

241

before it could do more harm

than Absalom's had in a long way.

242

Joanne.

243

Uh, murder's a massive, so

massive is not going to be in

244

charge for very long because Joe.

245

Uh, gets jealous.

246

And, uh, and here we see some of

the shady character of job as he

247

rises up in, in murders and Masa and

effectively takes back his place as

248

the commander of the King's army Sheba.

249

Meanwhile, flees to a city where

David's forces following threatened

250

to destroy it with seed works.

251

And then a woman in the

city says, Hey, Hold on.

252

Don't assure the city I'll

take care of him, cuts off his

253

head, throws it over the law.

254

And that ended Shebaz rebellion.

255

Is Joe AB jealous or is it

just, you're being Joe at.

256

That's my job.

257

Uh, why David put him

there in the first place.

258

Maybe it's a matter of saying,

Hey, let's try to wreck rectify

259

the two warring sides here.

260

Let's use a Masa since he was

the guy that they're used to now.

261

And Joe, I was like, you know what?

262

You played your role.

263

You're dead now.

264

Thank you for my job back.

265

It's well, within job's

character, it seems to me.

266

Magellan.

267

Maybe not like he's not threatened by him.

268

I was going to take care of

business on the dispatch.

269

You, Hey, come here.

270

Come here.

271

Come here.

272

Yeah.

273

Uh, chapter 21, then

they give you a nights.

274

Uh, show up and you remember the

giving that Ted had made the covenant

275

with with Joshua after deceiving

him, they had put on the, the.

276

The old clothing and the crack sandals

and everything else and the stale bread.

277

And made it look like they

were coming from a far country.

278

Uh, Joe Joshua didn't

seek the Lord's counsel.

279

Joshua made this treaty with

them, and that was a bad thing.

280

Well, during solves rain at some

point, and we don't have it.

281

Laid out for us in scripture, but at

some point, Saul had transgressed this

282

treaty by attacking the Gibeah nights.

283

And now to rectify the situation.

284

Uh, David agreed to turn

over seven of Saul's sons.

285

Uh, because there was a famine

that God brought upon the people

286

of Israel, because they had broken

their word to the giving nights.

287

They'd broken their treaty.

288

And so God was punishing the Israelites

for breaking a treaty with the people

289

that originally got wanted exterminated.

290

There there's a lot of different layers.

291

At work here, but God's punishing

Israel for not being faithful to their

292

word really is what it comes down to.

293

So David says, what can we do?

294

And they say, give seven assaults,

sons who, which he does, uh, sparing.

295

Some of the offspring of, uh, of Jonathan.

296

He doesn't give a Fitbit chef in this,

but he turns these sons over who then are

297

subsequently hanged by the gimme nights.

298

Uh, but then there's this one unique woman

and she's, it seems to be a faithful mom

299

and a grieving mom who attended the, the

bodies in her grief and would not allow

300

any of the wild animals to come upon them.

301

Uh, while they hung there and after

hearing this, David wanted to honor her.

302

And so he gathered the bones of

Saul and Jonathan and the seven

303

and have had them properly buried.

304

But this turned away God's

wrath from Israel and.

305

I guess made things right between

Israel and that they give unites there.

306

Okay.

307

How is this?

308

Just, this seems to me like a.

309

This seems awful.

310

That seems like a terrible thing.

311

How is it possible that

SOLs sons grandsons.

312

Could or should suffer on

behalf of what Saul does.

313

We're encountering this concept yet again.

314

Yeah, I think it's important because.

315

I think it's important to note.

316

God never says to do this.

317

He, I guess he acknowledges it by saying,

okay, blood guilt has been satisfied.

318

But is this what God wanted is this

is human sacrifice essentially.

319

Is that, what is that what God wanted

from the house of Saul, do you think?

320

Yeah, no, I don't.

321

I don't think we can get there.

322

I mean, God himself says he does not

delight in the death of the wicked even.

323

And so.

324

In in.

325

Yeah, I don't think this is a, uh,

326

Commendation from data or commandment

from God to say, this is, this is good.

327

You should do this.

328

You were talking, we were talking,

we were wrestling back and forth, I

329

think offline about corporate guilt.

330

And, um, I think that's

probably fits the bill here.

331

As far as this, this situation

is, is concerned that

332

there's the corporate guilt.

333

That is a sad.

334

Uh, attached to a people.

335

Um, not in the same way that has

been bandied about in, in culture

336

and everything else like that.

337

But here that the guilt for breaking and

transgressing God's law that is passed

338

down from generation to generation, uh,

That, that the sins of the father will

339

be visited on the next generation, the

generation after the generation after.

340

And so I think we see a little

bit of that in this instance.

341

True.

342

That may be.

343

I just want this.

344

This is a hard section and in part,

because we're trying to wrestle with okay.

345

Th this is a different

mindset than ours today.

346

And on top of that, this

is something that got it.

347

Doesn't commend, but certainly accepts.

348

He does remove the wrath from the house

of Saul and consequently the house of

349

Israel as a whole, because of what happens

here, but still, I just want to point out.

350

And the king David, he doesn't

go to God and say, God, what

351

should we do about this?

352

He goes to the Gibeah nights and they

say, we'll give a seven and the sons.

353

And I'm sure the number

seven is significant.

354

Complete full whole, that whole thing.

355

And then, and then God turns

it away, but notice God doesn't

356

turn, turn away his wrath until

they're removed from being hanged.

357

So I wonder if there's something

there that gives us an indication

358

that maybe God wasn't happy with this.

359

And the fact that the shame had been

taken down or removed was something

360

that he did approve of and say,

that's, that's not what I wanted,

361

but let, let's just move on here.

362

I don't know.

363

Uh, it's the Dex doesn't tell us

one way or the other, but I suspect

364

there's more than meets the eye.

365

Yep.

366

When the rest of the chapter war breaks

out again with the Philistines, a

367

constant thorn in the side of David

and after David who was almost killed

368

in battle, the men basically say,

Hey, David, we're going to go ahead

369

and retire you from the battlefield.

370

Uh, we want you to stay back here and

no longer go out and fight with us.

371

Uh, one quick note in 21, 19,

this is a different Goliath.

372

This is not the same Goliath.

373

This is not a textual error

or anything else like that.

374

This is somebody else that was

named Goliath that shows up here in

375

21, 19, uh, with the Philistines.

376

How do you know that?

377

Because David David killed

Goliath a long time ago.

378

I okay.

379

So there's the cross-reference

380

I was, I was thinking as I read it.

381

Okay.

382

This must.

383

I thought it was a scribal error,

you know, maybe an emendation, an

384

accidental emendation, perhaps.

385

Where the reference is to Goliath brother

or, uh, let's see here versus verse 19.

386

And there was again, war with

the Philistines at gob and L L

387

Hannon, the son of JaRay origin.

388

The Bethlehemite struck down.

389

Uh, Lee, I forget the guy's name in

390

the brother of Goliath to get EIT.

391

The Shafter who's being was

like a spear of a or whatever.

392

So I think, I think the cross-reference

gives me pause to say, I wonder if

393

this is a Scrabble or because let

me just pull up first Chronicles.

394

Uh, 2015, let me quote

it to you real quick.

395

Nope.

396

That's not it.

397

That's not it at all.

398

First Chronicles, I put 2015,

but that's not, that's clearly

399

not the cross reference.

400

Uh, first Chronicles 25, 25.

401

That makes more sense.

402

Because it's.

403

It doesn't have.

404

Okay.

405

And there was again, war

with the Philistines and L

406

Henan the son of John Jr.

407

Struck down LaMi, the brother of

Goliath, the get tight, the shaft of

408

whose spear was like a Weaver's beam.

409

So I think those are parallel verses,

but they say different things.

410

And I think the verse in first Chronicles

is probably the one that we should

411

take and say, that makes more sense.

412

So this must be a scribal error.

413

That was my, that was my understanding.

414

Anyhow.

415

Yeah.

There's there's uh, there's

multiple views on it.

417

That's one.

418

There's also, um, the view, like

I suggested that Goliath was a

419

common name, especially among

Philistia, which is another.

420

Uh, another suggestion, even as that

Goliath came to be a, a pseudonym

421

for just a giant in general.

422

Okay.

423

And that's true today, right?

424

Somebody was a Goliath and you

go, oh man, he's a, he's a giant.

425

Um, and so that, that that's possible

as well, but any of those are valid

426

solutions that wouldn't undermine

the authority of scripture here.

427

And then, so.

428

Why'd you bring your Bibles tune

in tomorrow and we got more songs

429

coming at you and we will be back

with you for another episode of the

430

daily Bible podcast by everybody.
