1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Let us pray for rebellion is as the sin of

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: witchcraft and stubbornness is an iniquity in idolatry. Because thou

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: rejected thee from being king First Samuel fifteen thirteen. Lord,

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 1: through to day's reading of First Samuel and through the

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: life of Saul, I see that obedience is better than sacrifice.

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: With this truth, I am now going through my life

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: like the Amalekites. I will get rid of anything that

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: is contrary to your word and to the life you

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: are helping me to build. I will not let the

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: king a gags in my life that represent sinful and

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: destructive behaviors linger around me when you have commanded me

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: to eradicate them completely. I will not partner myself with

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: people who have corrupt and compromising character, no matter how

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: much wealth they promise me. Instead, like Samuel, I will

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: sever all ties because obedience to you is better than

17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: sacrificing my integrity for treasures and wealth that will bring

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: my downfall. There's no disloyalty in me. God, I am

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: unwavering and locked into my purpose in Jesus name, Amen,

20
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: thanks for making prayer a priority in your life. To

21
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: hear the Bible come to life. Stay tuned for the

24
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: Saul disobeys God. In our last story, we learned about

25
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: Jonathan's bravery against the Philistines. Jonathan broke up the enemy's

26
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: camp and sent them into a frenzy. Saul capitalized on

27
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: Jonathan's bravery and sent his army in to defeat the Philistines.

28
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: In this story, we will learn about Saul's disobedience towards

29
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: God because of his desire to please the people instead

30
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: of God. Inspired by the Book of First Samuel.

31
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: Hello, this is Jack Graham with today's episode of the

32
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: Bible in a Year podcast. In our previous story, we

33
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 3: focused on Jonathan's actions, which stood in stark contrast to

34
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: his father, King Saul. When Saul tried to have Jonathan

35
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: kill for disobeying a senseless order, the people rallied around

36
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: Jonathan and protected him. Saul was by now king only

37
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: in title. He was no longer the strong leader that

38
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: he wanted to be, and God commanded him to be.

39
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: His selfish pride and impatience had cost him nearly everything. Today,

40
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 3: we'll see Saul disobey God in a desperate attempt to

41
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: be a people please are rather than a godly leader.

42
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: We will see how Saul's need to be liked, accepted,

43
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: and praised by the people will lead him to lie

44
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: and deceive. But Samuel, speaking for God, will see right

45
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: through it all and give Saul a devastating word from

46
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: the Lord. Let's listen to today's scripture.

47
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: Saul led Israel with a strong arm. Battle after battle,

48
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: the armies of Israel defended themselves against enemy kingdoms. Nations

49
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: that had once oppressed Israel now feared them, and Saul

50
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: began to regain favor from the people. One day, a

51
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: word of the Lord came to Samuel. Samuel entered into

52
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: the courts of Saul. This was the first time they

53
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: had spoken since Saul unrightfully acted as priest over Israel

54
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: before battle. Samuel could barely look at Saul anymore. His

55
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: demeanor had slowly changed from humble servant to arrogant king. Nevertheless,

56
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: Samuel had a message from God to share Saul. God

57
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: has remembered the Amalekites and their crimes against them, and

58
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: made life hard. Now it is your duty to rise

59
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: up against them. However, you must leave none of them alive,

60
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: none no soldier, warrior, woman, animal, or riches. Saul wasted

61
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: no time, for the Amalekites were truly wicked people. Their

62
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: evil had corrupted the land surrounding them, and their oppression

63
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: knew no bounds. Saul was grateful for a chance to

64
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: prove himself to God and to Samuel. His sword was

65
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: heavy against the armies of the Amalekites. The armies of

66
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: Israel prevailed swiftly and laid waste to the city. All

67
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: that remained was their king, a gag, and the riches

68
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: of their live stock. Saul considered killing a gag and

69
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: burning his riches. Instead, Saul spared a gag to parade

70
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: him in front of the people, and he took all

71
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: the livestock, riches, and wealth of the city for himself.

72
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 2: Saul brought the spoils of war back to himself and

73
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: the people of Israel, and he sat on the wealth

74
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: of a corrupt nation. As he returned to Israel, Saul

75
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: made a monument for himself, a clear representation of his

76
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: delusion of self importance. Samuel was dwelling alone in the

77
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: cool of his home. When the Lord came to him

78
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: and spoke, saying, Saul has turned his back from me,

79
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: and I regret ever making him king. Samuel cried to

80
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: the Lord all night in anger, for Saul had been

81
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: exactly what he warned the people of. Early the next day,

82
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: Samuel approached the throne room of Saul. Saul was elated

83
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: to see Samuel, ignorant of his anger towards him. Blessed

84
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: are you, Samuel, Look, I have done as God commanded.

85
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: The Amalekites are wipe to What are these sounds I

86
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 2: hear of sheep and oxen, Samuel interrupted. Samuel was old

87
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: and frail, yet he spoke with a strength that demanded attention.

88
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: They are from the Amalekites, the people. They wanted me

89
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: to spare them, to make sacrifices unto God. In fact,

90
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: I sh Samuel interrupted again, with his hand.

91
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: In the air.

92
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: Stop, he yelled. Samuel knew Saul was lying. He had

93
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: no intention of sacrificing anything. To the Lord. You were

94
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: appointed king by God and you were given a mission

95
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: to consume the Amalekites. You were instructed to spare nothing

96
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: and take nothing. So tell me, Sa, why did you

97
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 2: not obey. Why did you pounce on the spoils and riches?

98
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: Saul smiled in fake ignorance. He laughed, as though he

99
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: did not see anything wrong with his actions. Standing up

100
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: from his throne, Saul stepped down and put his hand

101
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: on Samuel's shoulder and said, Samuel, I have simply obeyed

102
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 2: the voice of God. It is the people that wanted

103
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: the spoils of war, not me. Yet I took the

104
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: best of everything to sacrifice to God. Samuel brushed the

105
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: king's hands off his shoulder. Saul was over two feet

106
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: taller than Samuel, yet Samuel, in this moment, seemed to

107
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: loom over him like a nightmare. Has God any delight

108
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: in vain sacrifices when you have ignored his voice? Behold, Saul,

109
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: it is far better to obey than to sacrifice. Rebellion

110
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: is like witchcraft to him, and to presume you know

111
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: better than him is worse than idolatry. Saul's eyes began

112
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: to widen as he listened to Samuel. Samuel rose his

113
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: arm and pointed to Saul. Because you have rejected God

114
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: as your lord, he has rejected you as king. As

115
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: Samuel said this, he turned and stormed off. Saul chased

116
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: after Samuel. No, Samuel, no, I have sinned. I feared

117
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: that people would turn against me. Saul begged him to stay,

118
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: Please pardon my sin, stay here and help me atne

119
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: Saul's fear of losing his throne caused a panic. He

120
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: seized Samuel's robes and tugged back for him to stay.

121
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: Samuel's robes began to tear. The sound of the tears

122
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: echoed in the empty throne room. Samuel and Saul stood there,

123
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: looking at the torn garment. They were alone and completely silent.

124
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: For a few moments, tears streamed down Saul's face. Samuel

125
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: looked at the pathetic king in front of him. Though

126
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: he cried, Samuel could see corruption in his heart. There

127
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: was something disturbing dwelling inside him. Just as you have

128
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: torn my robe, so God has torn Israel away from

129
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: you and given it to another.

130
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: Saul wept on the floor.

131
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: Samuel looked at him with compassion. He led Saul to

132
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: the altar of God to pray. God would not change

133
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: his mind mind, but he would not abandon Saul completely.

134
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: After they had prayed, Samuel had Saul bring king a

135
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: gag before him. Agag approached them with a smile on

136
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: his face. He Gag was under the impression that Saul

137
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: would not harm him, but he had not yet met Samuel.

138
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: Eggag looked at the old man and laughed. He mocked him.

139
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: Samuel looked at Haggag and said, you have led with corruption, greed,

140
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: and wickedness. Your sword has made women childless. So shall

141
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: your mother become childless. And in that instant, Samuel hacked

142
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: off the head of Agag before Saul. Samuel wiped off

143
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: the blade, handed it to Saul, and left. Saul would

144
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: not see Samuel again, for death would soon take Samuel

145
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: back to the Lord. Yet Samuel grieved over Saul. He

146
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: grieved his heart and his mind. Yet Samuel would get

147
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: to see another king anointed, a king with flaws, weaknesses,

148
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 2: and fair Yet he was a king that would pursue

149
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: the heart of God, someone Israel could look on too

150
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: as an example of bravery, repentance, and worship. A shepherd

151
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: like Moses, a warrior like Joshua, and a priest like Samuel.

152
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 3: Today's story begins with Samuel receiving a word from God

153
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: to give to King Saul. That word was this God

154
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 3: had not forgotten the cruelty of the Amelikites from the

155
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: time Israel departed Egypt, and now it was time for

156
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: them to account for their evil. So Samuel went to

157
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: Saul and gave him orders. Saul was to fight against

158
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 3: the Amelikites, and after God granted him victory, Saul was

159
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: to completely wipe them out. Not a single person or

160
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: even the livestock of the Amelikites was to be spared.

161
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: Saul is given an opportunity to obey God and to

162
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: do his will completely. Israel defeated the enemy, and Saul's

163
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: army carried out the mission. For the most part, Saul

164
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: kept the enemy king Agag alive. All the remaining Amalekites

165
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 3: were killed, and everything considered worthless was destroyed, but they

166
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: spared the best of the livestock, taking at his plunder.

167
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: Saul was looking on as all of this happened. Rather

168
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 3: than completely obeying God's command, Saul wanted to please the

169
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: people and increase his name and his power among them.

170
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: But God sees through this, of course, and Saul's disobedience

171
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 3: greatly displeases him, so he spoke again to Samuel. God

172
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 3: rejects Saul as king. Samuel was distraught. Saul, who once

173
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 3: held so much potential, had fallen so far, and Samuel

174
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 3: knew that God would not allow this to stand. Samuel

175
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: returned to Saul and on the way discovered that Saul

176
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: had built a monument to himself after the victory. It

177
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: was worse than he had even imagined. Not only was

178
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: Saul disobeying God, now he was exalting himself, seeking glory

179
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: that belonged only to the Lord. Samuel confronted Saul, who

180
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 3: once again made excuses and tried to justify himself. First,

181
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: he tried to couch his actions as obedience. He said

182
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: he had brought King Agag back, as if this was

183
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 3: some kind of prize that he would give to God,

184
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: and that the people set aside the best livestock to

185
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: offer his sacrifices to the Lord. All of this was

186
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: a lie. God never told Saul to spare a gag

187
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 3: and he certainly didn't ask for offerings. God's orders had

188
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: been very clear. All was to be destroyed, sparing nothing.

189
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: This is another sad story of Saul's disobedience, and it

190
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 3: reminds us that God does not accept disobedience or partial obedience.

191
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: Partial obedience is disobedience. Samuel then tells Saul the bad news.

192
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: Because he has rejected God, God has rejected him as king.

193
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 3: The throne will be taken from him and given to another.

194
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: Saul is desperate and tries once more to justify his

195
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: sin and first Samuel fifteen twenty four. He says, I

196
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 3: have sin for I have transgressed the commandment of the

197
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 3: Lord and your words, because I feared the people and

198
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 3: obeyed their voice. This reminds us of the words of

199
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: Adam blaming Eve for his sin in the Garden of Eden.

200
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: Saul shifts blame to the people, and he says he

201
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 3: was just trying to please them. He's making excuses, but

202
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: it's too late. God has seen Saul's sin and his pride,

203
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: and the Bible says pride comes before a fall. There's

204
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: no turning back now. Saul holds onto Samuel's robe and

205
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: tears it, and then Samuel tells him that just as

206
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 3: he's torn his garment, God will tear the kingdom away

207
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: from Saul. Samuel then does what Saul did not. He

208
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: kills King Agag right in front of Saul. He leaves,

209
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: mourning Saul's disobedience and never seize the king again until

210
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: his death. God would bring another king, one who did

211
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: have his heart and, though not perfect, would lead God's

212
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: people as God intended and plant, and we'll meet him

213
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: the next time. Dear God, may we always obey you completely,

214
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: not half heartedly, but completely. Help us to fear you

215
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: more than men, and to listen to you rather than

216
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: to listen to the world. May we have the boldness

217
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: to do what you have called us to do, regardless

218
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: of the cost, because we know that the cost of

219
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: rejecting you is greater than we can possibly imagine. In

220
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,960
