Let me give you another interesting insight, Father, as all of our friends are reading with you through this period. In chapter 17, there's going to be just a few words that will be the key to understanding in the future Israel asking for a king. Because when they come into the land, they're going to ask for a king in 1 Samuel.

In 1 Samuel chapter 7, they're going to ask for a king, and God is going to give them a king. But there's a warning about it given back here in Deuteronomy, and it's Deuteronomy 17, 14, where God says, When you come to the land which the Lord your God gives you, you possess it and you possess it and dwell in it and then say, I will set a king over me like all the nations that are around me.

You may indeed set as king over you him whom the Lord your God will choose. But then he gives three things that the king should not have, which just keep this in your back pocket because this is going to be the downfall. Mm-hmm. of those three kings, and that is going to be Saul, David, and Solomon. And particularly, this is going to be applicable to Solomon. Now, listen to this.

These are the three. You must not have multiple horses. You must not have many wives, and you shall not greatly multiply silver and gold, okay? So those are the three, and these typically are related to foreign alliances.

Now, I'm just saying this now because this is really important that when we come to 1 Samuel 7, and this is after Joshua and Judges, and they're going to ask for a king, we've got to remember what was spoken through Moses earlier, and that is, okay, you can have a king if it's who I say you can have, but Do not let them have many horses and chariots, not much gold, and not many wives.

And we'll see later in the story how this became a downfall for Israel.

You know, there's so much in Deuteronomy, numbers in Deuteronomy. And, you know, Jesus even refers to it, like in Deuteronomy 24, when Moses, he makes a provision for divorce. but it was because of the hardness of their heart. And the Pharisees are going to call that on Jesus and say, well, Moses said it was okay. And Jesus said, yeah, but it wasn't that way from the beginning.
