1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Let us pray. And the men of the garrison answered

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Jonathan and his armor bearer and said, come up to us,

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: to his armor bearer, come up after me, for the

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: Lord hath delivered them into the hand of Israel First

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: Samuel fourteen twelve. Dear Lord, to day, I ask that

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: you give me the courage of Jonathan, who was able

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: to see victory in a seemingly impossible situation. When the

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: odds seems stacked against me, I choose to see myself

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: overcoming all challenges that are before me, whether two or

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: two thousand. I will move with precision then execute my

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: plan of attack, knowing that your hand of favor is

13
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: upon me and all those who were fighting alongside me

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: to claim the territory and promises you've laid before us.

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: The day of vindication and validation is upon me. Thank

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: you God, that through you and your power, no weapon

17
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: formed against me will prosper. When prideful people and positions

18
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: of influence try to abuse their power and try to

19
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: strike down my ideas and purpose, I declare that you

20
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: will surround me with men and women of influence who

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: will protect my post as the soldiers did for Jonathan.

22
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: I announced to Day that I am your person. I

23
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: am the one you've chosen to step into new camps

24
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: and doors of opportunities. I am victorious in Jesus name. Amen,

25
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Thank you for praying with us to day. Continue your

26
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: time with God by listening to to Day's Bible story

27
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: brought to you by Bible in a Year dot Com.

28
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: Jonathan's victory. In our last story, we learned of Saul's

29
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: pride and disobedience. Although he claimed many victories, his attitude

30
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: against God was muddied by his own pride and anxiety.

31
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: Now we peer into the heart of Jonathan, Saul's son.

32
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: His bravery and resolve to do what is right is

33
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: contrasted against Saul's descending heart. Inspired by the Book of

34
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: First Samuel.

35
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: Hello, this is Jack Graham with today's episode of the

36
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: Bible in a Year podcast. In our previous story, we

37
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: heard of Saul's growing pride and how it led him

38
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 3: to dishonor God with a thoughtless, disobedient sacrifice. When confronted

39
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: by Samuel about his disobedience, Saul chose to make excuses

40
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: and attempt to justify himself rather than repenting and seeking

41
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: God's forgiveness. This would tragically become a pattern in the

42
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: life of Saul. Today, we'll see a contrast to this

43
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 3: prideful and insecure king in his own son, Jonathan. We'll

44
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: hear how Jonathan faces the Philistines and emerges victorious, while

45
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: Saul struggles to do things his own way, causing his

46
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: own men to suffer unnecessarily. Father and son will clash,

47
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: and loyalties will be tested. Let's listen now to today's reading.

48
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: The camp of Israel was still preparations for battle were

49
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: almost complete, and the men waited silently in their tents

50
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: for orders. In his tent, Saul stowed in his own self,

51
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: loathing because of what Samuel had said. Would his kingdom

52
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: be taken away from him? So soon? Saul thought to himself. Meanwhile,

53
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: Saul's son Jonathan, beckoned his armor bearer and said, let

54
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: us go over the other of the hill to the

55
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: Philistine camp. Perhaps there are weaknesses we are unaware of.

56
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: So Jonathan and his servant crossed over the hills silently,

57
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: for Jonathan did not desire for any attention or objections.

58
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: They climbed over the rocky hill and hid under one

59
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: of the crags beside a rock. There they could see

60
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: the Philistine camp going about their business. The sun was

61
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: making its descent, and the soldiers were getting ready for

62
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: the night to fall. Jonathan peered at the Philistine garrison.

63
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: There were about twenty men standing on the outskirts of

64
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: the rest of the camp. He did not see them

65
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: as others did. While others trembled at their numbers, Jonathan

66
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: saw men too consumed with their own wickedness to fight bravely.

67
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: He knew that the Lord would go before them. Jonathan

68
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: and the armor bearer crouched silently under the rock. Jonathan

69
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: turned to his armor bearer and whispered, perhaps God will

70
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: work for us this day. If God wants victory, he

71
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: shall get it. It does not matter whether it is

72
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 2: two men or two thousand. His armor bearer looked at

73
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: Jonathan and nodded, I am with you, heart and soul.

74
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: The two smiled and stood upright for the Philistines to

75
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: see them. They sauntered into camp, and the Philistine soldiers

76
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: noticed them approaching. The Philistines were not threatened in the

77
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: least by Jonathan and his servant Hebrews. They laughed, come

78
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: on over, here, Hebrews, we will show you around. The

79
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: Philistines cackled and spat on the floor. Jonathan and the

80
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: armor bearer walked slowly. Jonathan could feel the favor of

81
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: God in that place. To him, it was only a

82
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: matter of swinging his axe. The Lord would do the rest.

83
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 2: God is before us, Jonathan said, and the two leapt

84
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: into the group of men. Jonathan swung his axe with decisiveness,

85
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: with his armor bearer fighting beside him. The two of

86
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: them fought off the advances of twenty men. Metal clashed

87
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 2: against metal, and Jonathan struck down every man that ran

88
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: towards them. The two of them danced with their blades,

89
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: and the rest of the Philistines scattered in confusion. Darkness

90
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: began to settle unto the sky, and all of a sudden,

91
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: the Philistines began to fight one another in confusion. They

92
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: thought they were under attack by over one hundred men,

93
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: so they stumbled into each other's swords. The watchmen of

94
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: Israel could see a restlessness in the Philistine camp below.

95
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: They brought word to Saul, and he had his men

96
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: count to see who was missing from among them, Jonathan

97
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: and his armor bearer. They reported so Saul rallied the

98
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: rest of the army, and the entirety of Israel's armies

99
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: stormed the Philistine camp. The battles stretched for miles as

100
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: Philistines scattered in a thousand different directions. Confusion and hysteria

101
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: overcame the Philistines, for they were caught completely off guard.

102
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: Some of the surrounding villages caught word that the Philistines

103
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: were running away, so they sent some of their soldiers

104
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: to join the Israelite army. God had used Jonathan to

105
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: scatter the Philistines, and one by one they fell at

106
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: his feet. So the Lord saved Israel that day, and

107
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: the battle passed beyond Bethlehem. There were still a vast

108
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: number of Philistines to be slain. Saul, in a rash

109
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: moment of passion, gave orders for the men to not

110
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: eat until every Philistine had been killed. He wanted to

111
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: incentivize as soldiers, but instead he left them without fuel

112
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: or energy for battle. Jonathan, however, continued to eat. He

113
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: would snack on honey to replenish his energy and then

114
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: return to the battlefield for more victory. Eat and be filled.

115
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: Jonathan said to his men, look at me, I have

116
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: eaten and now have the strength to continue. So Jonathan

117
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: had his men eat the food they found in the

118
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: Philistine camp. Saul soon realized that his men were growing

119
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: weaker by the hour, so he ordered for a feast

120
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: to be prepared to serve the men before sending them

121
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: out again to raid the Philistine cities. He discovered that

122
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: Jonathan had been feasting on honey and giving some to

123
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: his men as well. Saul's pride sparked rage inside of him.

124
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: What have you done, Saul yelled. Jonathan was breathing heavily

125
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: from battle. He looked closely at his father. He was

126
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: growing mad. He could see it in his eyes. Saul

127
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: was becoming irresponsible and his mind was fogged. Jonathan did

128
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: not know at this time that God's favor had been

129
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: removed from him. Jonathan stood up straight and said, I

130
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: ate honey. Jonathan stretched out his arms and said, here

131
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: I am. If I must die, then so be it.

132
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: Saul's brow furrowed and his mouth tensed up with anger.

133
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: He pointed to his son and said, you shall die

134
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: for it, and Saul lifted his sword to strike down

135
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: his son. In that instant, the soldiers surrounded Jonathan and said,

136
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: you shall not harm one hair on his head, for

137
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: he is the one who has worked out this salvation

138
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: for Israel. The soldiers formed a wall between Saul and Jonathan.

139
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: In that instant, Saul knew that he was no longer

140
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: king entitled, yes, but he did not have the hearts

141
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: of his men.

142
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: Today's story begins on a battlefield, is a fight with

143
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: the Philistines, but rather than being focused on the enemy

144
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: at hands, Saul is sulking, licking his wounds after Samuel's chastisement.

145
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 3: He's finally coming into his own as king, and now

146
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: God has told him his days as leader are numbered.

147
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: His son, Jonathan, on the other hand, isn't interested in

148
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: fame or glory, but in the battle that was in

149
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: front of him and how the Philistine army might be defeated.

150
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: He quietly sneaks away with his armor bearer into the

151
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: Philistine camp, confident that God can give him victory if

152
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: that is his will. Listen to the words of Jonathan

153
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: in First Samuel fourteen six. Come let us go over

154
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that

155
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 3: the Lord will work for us, for nothing can hinder

156
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: the Lord from saving by many or by a few.

157
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: Jonathan realized something that we all should remember. When something

158
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: is God's will, nothing can stop it. Centuries later, the

159
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 3: apostle Paul would write in Romans chapter eight, if God

160
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 3: is for us, who can be against us? So Jonathan

161
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: and his armor bearer face off against twenty Philistines and

162
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: defeat them. This sends fear throughout the Philistine camp, and

163
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: soldiers begin to scatter in confusion. This clash catches the

164
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 3: attention of the Israelites, and soon word reaches Saul that

165
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: Jonathan and his armor bearer are missing. No doubt, Saul

166
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 3: did not want his son Jonathan to get credit for

167
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: the victory, so he marshals his troops for battle. He

168
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: even calls for the ark to be brought, But this

169
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 3: was no act of devotion on Saul's part. While Saul

170
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: maintain an outward appearance of piety and righteousness, his heart

171
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: was really focused on his own glory and power. Once again,

172
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: Saul acts impatiently and Israel goes into battle against the

173
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: confused Philistines. Many of their enemies are defeated, but not all. Still,

174
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 3: Israel was saved that day because of Jonathan's courage and action,

175
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: and this didn't go unnoticed by the people. Saul isn't

176
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: satisfied with the results of the battle, and he wants

177
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: to keep going until all the Philistines are defeated, so

178
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: he issues a ridiculous command that no sensible commander would

179
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: dare give to his men. He vows that no man

180
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: will eat until every Philistine is dead. As you would expect,

181
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: this foolish command weakens the men and they are not

182
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: strong enough to face a powerful enemy, but Jonathan wise.

183
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: Jonathan does not allow the restrictions to apply to him,

184
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 3: and he nourishes himself with honey. He has his men

185
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: also eat from in the Philistine camp, so Saul finally relents.

186
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: He throws a feast for the people so they can

187
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 3: be strengthened for battle. By now, he's all about the

188
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: grand gestures and displays of his personal power. His terrible

189
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: leadership is on full display. But when he discovers Jonathan

190
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: has Eden despite the prohibition, Saul confronts his son. Jonathan,

191
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 3: rather than making excuses or hiding the truth, comes clean

192
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: with no apologies, but he also submits to whatever punishment

193
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: would come his way, including death. Jonathan is a clear

194
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 3: contrast to his father, Jonathan is humble and committed to

195
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: the Lord, willing to own his actions. And when Saul

196
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: tries to kill his own son to show Israel that

197
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: he's the man in charge, the people stand up for

198
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: Jonathan and will not allow it. Saul, for all of

199
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: his posturing and pride, had lost the command of his people,

200
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: just as God said he would. Dear God, help us

201
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: to be a man like Jonathan, humble and always trusting

202
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: in You and willing to make decisions that honor you.

203
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: Thank you for his example in this story today. In Jesus' name, Amen,
