And in fact, John Luke kind of teased about the foreskin.

So the, you know, you had to like present a bridal gift to a father.

in this culture, and it had to be something pretty substantial, even to marry someone's daughter.

In this case, it's the king.

So what are you going to give him?

And so David's like, well, I'm his shepherd.

I'm out here doing my thing.

I don't have anything.

And he says, back to his point about putting him in harm's way, I'll tell you what, if you'll just go down and get me 100 Philistine foreskins, and if you're not sure what that is, audience, just look it up.

So he tells him 100 foreskins, pretty much knowing that a typical Philistine is probably not going to willingly give up the foreskin.

So this is going to be a scrap, right, for you to be able to do this.

And so David, who's ever the overachiever, brings back 200 foreskins.

I mean, this guy's carrying... But what I'm saying is when you read these things like this, and there's a lot of stuff like this in the text, because it's real.

I mean, it was culture.

It was what was going on.

It was like, of course, we know where circumcision came from, right?

Genesis 17.

We know the reason why it did with Abraham and the sign of the covenant.

And so it became part of Israel understood, but the rest of the world has no idea what that's about.

And by the way, that's still true today.
