0:00.0	I think what we see in Jonathan is we're being presented a model for how it is we are supposed
0:08.7	to respond to God's messianic king, right? Jonathan has everything to lose, right? He is the one who,
0:15.9	in this act, is giving up father and mother and lands and his own kingdom for the sake of submitting himself
0:23.0	to David.
0:24.1	And it is interesting the language that's used in verse 14.

1:13.9	safe with his friend and the prophet Samuel. So what we're going to do today is we're going to try
1:17.8	to cover three chapters, okay? So you need to control yourselves, brothers, three chapters. Are you
1:22.2	ready? Yep. Let's do it. 20 through 22. And what we're going to get here is David on the run.
