Hey guys, welcome to Thomas in the Bible, episode 65.

So this one, it's a little bit shorter.

I'm not sure if that's just, I might be making elementary math errors.

I don't know.

The last one was longer reading, and I thought I caught up, but then maybe I went too far. I don't know. The last one was longer reading and I thought I

caught up, but then maybe I went too far. I don't know. But at any rate, it's a little bit shorter

if you pay attention to the late, great Christopher Hitchens.

This was, I think, a part of the Bible that he referenced from time to time.

So that's good.

So we're on 1st Samuel chapter 14.

I'm curious to see who the second Samuel is.

I don't know if there's like how many Samuels there are, but if they just, I don't

know, like, if what the story behind it is, but if there's just, this was the first Samuel and then

like, oh, we found another Samuel and he's, he's writing a book too, and then it's like, oh, okay,

so we'll call that the second Samuel. I don't know if that continues indefinitely or what.

Anyway, now it came to pass upon a day that Jonathan, the son of Saul,

said under the young man that bear his armor, come, and let us go over to the Philstein's garrison.

That is on the other side.

The Philstein's garrison keeler is on the other side.

But he told not his father.

So that's Jonathan, the son of Saul, who's, if you remember, Saul's the king.
