1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: And Saul said, there shall not be a man put 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: to death this day, for to day the Lord hath 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: wrought salvation in Israel. First Samuel eleven thirteen. Dear God, 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: as I look into the horizon of my future, sharpen 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: my eyes so I can pinpoint the enemy and see 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: where Satan is planning an attack. Like Saul and First 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: Samuel eleven, tune my ears to hear the cries of 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: the hurting as I operate in my position of leadership. 9 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: Put a fire in my baults and an assurance that 10 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: for such a time as this, You've called me to 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: fully step into and take ownership of the calling in 12 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: my life. It doesn't matter the size, expertise or reputation. 13 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: I will out power, out faith, and outperform any opposition 14 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: that is standing before me.

I declare that 18 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: no pride will seep through the cracks of my character. 19 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: Keep my heart wholly, humble and honoring as I live 20 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: my life in victory in Jesus name. Amen, thank you 21 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: for making prayer a priority in your day. To learn 22 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: more about the Bible, stay tuned for today's story, brought 23 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: to you by Bible in a Year dot Com, Saul's 24 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: victory over the Ammonites. In our last story, Sual was 25 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: anointed as the first king of Israel. It was a strong, nsome, 26 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: and well built man who stood a foot taller than 27 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: every other man in Israel. The people rejoiced over finally 28 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: having a king, yet Samuel had warned them that having 29 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: a king would not be exactly what they envisioned. Now 30 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: we see Saul's first victory as king. He slays the 31 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: evil Ammonite army with force, and the entirety of Israel 32 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: is restored to balance and prosperity, as inspired by the 33 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: Book of First Samuel. Hello Pastor Jack Graham here with 34 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: today's episode of the Bible in a Year podcast. Yesterday 35 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: we met the first King of Israel. We heard how 36 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: God showed Samuel the man that he had chosen for 37 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: the job, Saul. Saul was not expecting to be king 38 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: and was very surprised, even confused by what Samuel was 39 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: telling him. But God phil Saul with peace and confidence 40 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: and faith, and when he was presented to the people. 41 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: He was ready for the challenge. The people received Saul 42 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: with great joy, but they were warned that having a 43 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: king would not be all they had dreamed it would be. Still, 44 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: for now, saw was God's men for the job, and 45 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: he began from a place of humility and a desire 46 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: to serve God and his people. Today we will hear 47 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: of Saul's first battle as king. God will give him 48 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: a huge victory over the Ammonites, and Israel will enter 49 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: into a time of prosperity. So let's listen now to 50 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: today's reading. Jebeesh Gilead was a small and quiet city 51 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: on the edge of Israel. Farmers, shepherds, and their families 52 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: dwelt peacefully in the land, minding their own business and 53 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: working diligently. Children played in the fields as their fathers 54 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: and mothers worked. All was well in the tranquil city 55 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: of Jebeesh Giliad until one day battle horns could be 56 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: heard in the distance. The farmers looked up towards the 57 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: horizon as a sea of Ammonites peaked above the hills. 58 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: The women took their children into their homes, and the 59 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: men of the city grabbed anything they could to brace themselves. 60 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: The Ammonites swarmed the city like locusts. The Ammonites surrounded 61 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: the city on horseback, their scowls loaned over the men 62 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: of Jebeesh. They were completely surrounded, with no means of escape, 63 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: nor could they fight, for there were too many. The 64 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: elder of Jebeesh stepped forward and shouted, please do not 65 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: harm us. He bowed to the floor. We will do 66 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: anything you ask. Make a treaty with us. We will 67 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: serve you, but please do not kill us. The men 68 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: began to laugh. Their dark and deep cackles filled the 69 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: air like a poisonous gas. From among the crowd of 70 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: Ammonites approached Nahash, their leader. He was larger than the 71 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: rest of his men. His face was dark and battle hardened, 72 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: and his eyes revealed a corrupt wit. He was a 73 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: truly frightening man and worthy of fear. He dismounted his 74 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: horse and slowly approached the men. He looked down at 75 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: their elder, bowing and smiled. He leaned down and said, 76 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: of course, we will make a treaty with you. Why 77 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: waste my men's time and energy. Nahash took the man 78 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: by his arm and propped him up. He dusted him 79 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: off and smiled, if you gouge out all your right eyes, 80 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: we will spare you. You will serve us, and Israel 81 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: will be disgraced. Nyhash then patted the leader on the 82 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: back and began walking back to his horse. The elder 83 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: of Jabesh begged Nahash, saying, give us seven days. If 84 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: there is no hero to challenge you, then we shall 85 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: be your slaves. Nahash smiled, knowing full well no hero 86 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: could defeat him in battle. He agreed and allowed the 87 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: men to return to their work. Yet the Ammonites stayed 88 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: and harassed the city. Their presence was like chains wrapped 89 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: around their necks. Messengers were sent out throughout all of Israel, 90 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: and the people wept in fear. In the distance, Saul 91 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 1: was tilling his field behind Oxen. The hot sun beat 92 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: down on him. Saul's strong body was dripping with sweat 93 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: as he methodically broke up the ground beneath him for planting. 94 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: Saul could hear a faint cry from the city. Some 95 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: people were running across the roads and fleeing. Saul grabbed 96 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: a man passing by and said, what is happening with 97 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: the people? Why can I hear cries from the city. 98 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: The man told him of Nahash's insurgents on Jibesh. Saul 99 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: stood still and let the man go. He stood still 100 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: in the fields quietly. Saul had experienced anger before, but 101 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: this fire in his belly was different. The protective spirit 102 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: of God came upon Saul. His eyes were like flames. 103 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: His arms and legs tensed up like a mother bear 104 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: whose cubs were under attack. This was the first time 105 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: Saul truly felt like a king. Saul looked back to 106 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: his oxen and tore them in pieces with his sword. 107 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: He took those pieces and sent them all throughout Israel 108 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: with messengers, saying, whoever does not fight with Saul and Samuel, 109 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: for the heart of Israel will be torn apart like 110 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: these oxen. The message had its desired effect. Three hundred 111 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: and thirty thousand men gathered together with their swords and spears. 112 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: Saul marched in front of them. They marched as one man, 113 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: one body. Saul sent messengers ahead to Jebeesh Giliad, saying, tomorrow, 114 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: when the sun is high and hot, you shall have 115 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: your salvation. The next day, Saul stood above the plains 116 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: where the Ammonites met for battle. The sun was hot, 117 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: and Saul tilted his head towards the sun and closed 118 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: his eyes. The men were hungry for battle. They felt 119 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: braver with a king in front of them. Saul lifted 120 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: his sword towards the battlefield, and the Israelites yelled as 121 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,559 Speaker 1: they descended upon the Ammonites. Saul split his army into 122 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: three companies, and the three armies surrounded the Ammonite and 123 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: crashed upon them. The Israelites were overpowering. Swords clanged together 124 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: as the men of Israel fought with ferocity and speed. 125 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: Saul was among them, fighting his way to the center. 126 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: He stood ahead, high above every enemy. He swung his 127 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: sword with power and authority, striking down every man in 128 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: his path. Nayhash was in sight, and the two ran 129 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: towards one another. Their swords and fists clashed. The two 130 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: kings exchanged blows and carried one another's advances. Nayhash swung 131 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: upward towards Saul, leaving his side exposed, and Saul drove 132 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: his sword through his ribs. The Ammonites scattered as Israel 133 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: chased after them. Victory had been one and God had 134 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: gone before them. The people cheered and said to Samuel, 135 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: who were the men that doubted Saul, bring them to us, 136 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: and we shall put them to death. Saul stopped them, saying, 137 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: no more Israelites shall die today, for God has given 138 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: us his salvation. So Samuel led the nation up to Gilgal, 139 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: where they renewed their oath to God and to Saul. 140 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: They made a sacrifice to the Lord, and the entire 141 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: nation celebrated and rejoiced over the new era brought by Saul. 142 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: Saul was elated and stayed humble. Yet something in sight 143 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: him enjoyed the praise and worship of his people. A 144 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: subtle pride began to seep through cracks of his heart. 145 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: None of the Israelites or Saul could see it, but 146 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: God saw it and watched Saul closely. We begin today's 147 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: reading in the small town of Jabez Gilead. It's not 148 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: a mighty city or an even an important one, but 149 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: it is Israel's territory, and the Ammonites set their sights 150 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: on it as an easy target. They surrounded the city 151 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: and are ready to attack. Terrified, the elders of this 152 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: city approached the Ammonite army and offer a surrender. They 153 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: want their lives spared and will willingly give up their 154 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: freedom to save themselves. The Ammonites say they'll accept the treaty, 155 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: but they must all gouge out their right eye. The 156 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: only purpose for this condition, of course, was humiliation and 157 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: the torture of God's people. So the elders aren't ready 158 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: to accept these terms, and they asked that they think 159 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: it over and send out a call for help. The 160 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: fact that the Ammonites agreed to wait signals just how 161 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: arrogant they must have been. They had the city surrounded 162 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: and could have easily taken it then and there. Why 163 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: wait for a larger army to arrive. They did not 164 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: fear or respect Israel, and they certainly did not fear 165 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: or respect God. When the word got to Saul, he 166 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: burned with righteous anger. He was angry that foreigners would 167 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: act with such cruelty and make a mockery of his people, 168 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: and that, of course, was totally unacceptable. The spirit of 169 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: God filled Saul. He slaughtered his oxen and sent pieces 170 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: of the beasts as a message to his people. Anyone 171 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: who did not join him in battle to protect Israel 172 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: would meet the same fate as the oxen. His message, 173 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: though startling, was effective, and three hundred and thirty thousand 174 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: men gathered for battle. Israel was united to protect that 175 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: one small town, and they were led by a man 176 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: who was filled with the spirit of God. The Ammonites 177 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: never stood a chance. Saul led his men in a 178 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: commanding victory, killing all but a few Ammonites, who scattered 179 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: and ran away in fear. If there was ever any 180 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: doubt that Saul was fit to be the king, it 181 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: was a race that day. Some had doubted him, and 182 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: the people knew this. So in First Samuel eleven twelve 183 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: to thirteen, here's what we read. Then the people said 184 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: to Samuel, who is it that said, shall Saul reign 185 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: over us? Bring the men that we may put them 186 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: to death. But Saul said, not a man shall be 187 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: put to death this day, For today the Lord has 188 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: worked salvation for Israel. No, this was not a time 189 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: for revenge or killing, especially not the killing of God's 190 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: own people. So Saul unified the people under one banner 191 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: that God had brought salvation to his people. Rather than 192 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: look at this as his own personal victory, he turned 193 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: the attention of the people of God to the Savior 194 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: of Israel, God himself. They rejoice because of what God 195 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: had done. When we succeed, we can sometimes be tempted 196 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: to take credit or feel pride in our own accomplishments. 197 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong, of course, with celebrating, but we must 198 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: always give glory to God, who gives us the victory 199 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: we win, not in our own strength or cleverness or charms. 200 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: It is God at work at us and through us, 201 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: And in this first victory, that's exactly what Saul did. 202 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: But unfortunately, soon he would start to believe his own 203 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: greatness and pride would creep into his life. It would 204 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: be the beginning of the end and his downfall. We'll 205 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: hear more about that the next time. Dear Lord, we 206 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: thank you for victory, victory that we know comes through 207 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, our Lord. It is not because of what 208 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: we have done, but because of what you have done. Lord, 209 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: Not because we are strong, but because you are our 210 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: mighty God. We thank you for your spirit who lives 211 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: in us and empowers us and enables us to live 212 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: lives to accomplish your purposes. May we always be humble 213 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: before you. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen.
