| 0:00.0 | Reading our Bibles regularly can be a challenge, but we're all on this journey together. |
| 0:05.3 | We're praying that this podcast inspires you, helps you better understand God's Word, and builds your faith. |
| 0:12.1 | This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter. |
| 0:17.2 | Thanks for joining. Today, we're reading First Kings 20, but we're specifically looking at the end of this chapter. What in the world is going on here? It's First Kings 20 versus 35 through 40. And as always, we want to use good Bible study method, a good hermeneutic. So we'll start exploring this passage together by making observations. |
| 0:41.8 | Observations simply answers the question, what do I notice in the text? |
| 0:47.1 | And typically, we make good observations by asking the who, what, when, where, and why questions. |
| 0:49.0 | You can do this every time you study the Bible. |
| 0:51.2 | Starting off with who. |
| 0:55.9 | Who in the world is this guy who's going around asking people to hit him in the face? |
| 0:59.1 | The ESV translation of verse 35 reads, |
| 1:06.2 | And a certain man of the sons of the prophets. So who is this guy? A man of the sons of the prophets. |
| 1:11.2 | He's part of some group called the sons of the prophets. Now, when I'm just observing the text, I'm not making any interpretations or seeking to look for any explanation outside of this specific |
| 1:16.5 | passage. That's all we know about him here in today's chapter. He's part of the Sons of the |

| 1:27.1 | emphasized? Well, what's the what? What's happening? What's repeated or what's emphasized? Well, |
| 1:29.0 | what's happening is pretty simple. He's asking people to hit him. That's verse 35 and verse 37. |
| 1:35.8 | And the responses to this request vary. When the first man refuses to hit him, the man who |
| 1:41.3 | refused is attacked by a lion. That's verse 36. And when another man chooses |
| 1:46.2 | to hit the prophet, the prophet's plan is set in motion, verses 37 through 38. So the who? A guy who's |
| 1:54.2 | part of some sons of prophets group in the what? He's asking people to hit him repeatedly. And once he's |
| 2:00.8 | hit, his plan is set in motion. |
| 2:02.9 | And then the when. When did this plan really pick up? Verse 39, as the king passed by. As the king |
