00:00:13.730 - 00:00:22.860

University of Delaware, in cooperation with station WV, presents to seven for the series of readings from the King James version

00:00:22.860 - 00:00:32.080

of the English Bible. Readings. I invite the distinguished scholar Wilfred Owen, enciphered university professors.

00:00:43.780 - 00:00:57.160

The first three kings of Israel, Saul, David, and Solomon. The complete story of these three things is related in the books of Samuel and one.

00:00:57.160 - 00:01:06.760

In the period of the Judges, there was no thing in Israel at the request of the people, Samuel, the prophet, and the Lord

00:01:06.760 - 00:01:13.580

agreed to let them have a king to rule over them. One day saw without defined his father's acid,

00:01:13.580 - 00:01:24.710

found instead a kingdom. Saw was that heroic stature. His reign was a brief and saw me one. David, his successor,

00:01:24.710 - 00:01:34.870

also had a heroic characteristics. Both of them had their weaknesses, as did likewise, Solomon, as contrasted with Saul and David.

00:01:34.870 - 00:01:44.030

Solomon was a non-military, heroic King, died in peace. And on his death, the kingdom fell apart.

00:01:44.030 - 00:01:53.140

We shall have time here to relate a few significant events, unlike in the lives of these men. In part one, David before Saul,

00:01:53.140 - 00:02:02.030

Saul and the which a vendor, David and Goliath, in part to David and urea and Nathan's parable,

00:02:02.030 - 00:02:09.790

the lament of David, the appearance of the Lord in a dream to Solomon. Solomon's judgment between the two women.

00:02:09.790 - 00:02:31.820

And finally Salamon and the Queen of Sheba. Part one, David, the foresaw. But the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul and an evil spirit

00:02:31.820 - 00:02:41.320

from the Lord troubled him. And Saul seven said unto him, Behold now an evil spirit from God. Trouble if they let

00:02:41.320 - 00:02:50.650

our Lord thou command thy servants, which are before they seek out a man for his cunning player on a half. And it shall come to pass when

00:02:50.650 - 00:02:59.970

the evil spirit from God is upon the fat, he shall play with his hand and thou shall be well. And Saul said, and to a certain,

00:02:59.970 - 00:03:08.700

provide me now a man that can play well and bring him to me. Than answered one of the servants and said, behold, I have seen a son,

00:03:08.700 - 00:03:17.540

Jesse The badly and light that is coming in plane and a mighty valiant man and a man of war and prudent in

00:03:17.540 - 00:03:26.050

matters and accumulate version. And the Lord is with him. Wherefore Saul sent messengers onto Jesse and said,

00:03:26.050 - 00:03:32.600

send me David di sun, which is with the sheep. And Jessie took an ass laden with bread and a bottle

00:03:32.600 - 00:03:44.470

of wine and the kid and sent them by David, his son and to solve. And David King dissolve and stood before him and saw, loved him greatly.

00:03:44.470 - 00:03:55.060

And he became his armor bearer and saw Senator Jesse saying, let David, I pray thee stand for me for he had found favor in my sight.

00:03:55.060 - 00:04:02.360

It came to pass when the evil spirit from God was upon, saw that David took off and played with each hand.

00:04:02.360 - 00:04:26.630

So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. Saw and the witch and are. Now Samuel was dead.

00:04:26.630 - 00:04:36.290

And all Israel had limited him and buried him in Rima, even in his own city. And soul had put away those that had

00:04:36.290 - 00:04:43.070

familiar spirits and the lizards out of the land. And the Philistines gathered themselves together and

00:04:43.070 - 00:04:51.110

came and pitched in shoo them and saw, gathered all Israel together and they pitched in Gilboa. And when Saul saw

00:04:51.110 - 00:04:59.780

the host or the Philistines, he was afraid and his heart greatly trembled. And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him,

00:04:59.780 - 00:05:09.110

not neither by dreams, no, or by luteum, nor by profits. Then said SOL unto his servants, seek me a woman that had

00:05:09.110 - 00:05:17.780

a familiar spirit that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servant said to him, Behold, there is a woman that had

00:05:17.780 - 00:05:26.650

a familiar spirit at end are. And Saul disguised himself and put on other Raymond and he went and two men lithium,

00:05:26.650 - 00:05:32.860

and they came to the woman and by night, and he said, I pray thee divine them to me by the familiar spirit,

00:05:32.860 - 00:05:41.070

and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee. And the woman said unto him, Behold thou knowest what Saul has done,

00:05:41.070 - 00:05:48.160

how he hath cutoff those that have familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land. Where for the layer style a

00:05:48.160 - 00:05:57.700

snare for my life to cause me to die. And Saul swear to her by the Lord, saying, as the Lord lives, there shall no punishment

00:05:57.700 - 00:06:05.510

happened to the four. This thing then said, The woman whom shall I bring up unto thee. He said, Bring me up Samuel.

00:06:05.510 - 00:06:15.200

And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice. And the Romans fake desal saying, why has thou deceive me for thou art saw?

00:06:15.200 - 00:06:23.780

And the king said unto her, Be not afraid for what saw style. And the woman said, I saw, I saw God the sending out of the earth.

00:06:23.780 - 00:06:31.520

And he said to her, What form is he? And she said An old man cometh up and he has covered with a metal.

00:06:31.520 - 00:06:39.790

And so perceive that it was Samuel and he stood with his face to the ground and bowed himself. Samuel said to solve,

00:06:39.790 - 00:06:48.610

why has thou disquiet me to bring me up? Saul answered, I am so distressed for the Philistines make war against me.

00:06:48.610 - 00:06:58.520

And God is departed from me and answer with me no more, neither by profits nor by dreams. Therefore, I have called thee that thou

00:06:58.520 - 00:07:08.000

mayest make Nolan to me what I shall do. Then said, Samuel, wherefore then does thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from the end,

00:07:08.000 - 00:07:14.690

this become nine enemy. And the Lord has done to him as he faked by me. For the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of

00:07:14.690 - 00:07:33.860

thine hand and given it to thy neighbor, even to David. David and Goliath. Now the Philistines gathered

00:07:33.860 - 00:07:41.750

together their armies to battle and were gathered together at Chicago, which belong to Judah. And pitched between Chaka

00:07:41.750 - 00:07:49.970

and as a cough in FS, Damon and soul and the men of Israel were likewise gathered together and pitch but the Valley of

00:07:49.970 - 00:07:56.890

Elah and set the battle in array against the Philistines. And the Philistine stood on the mountain, on the one side,

00:07:56.890 - 00:08:03.440

and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side. And there was a valley between them. And they went out,

00:08:03.440 - 00:08:14.410

a champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath gaff, whose height was six cubits and the span. And he had a helmet of brass upon his head.

00:08:14.410 - 00:08:21.650

And he was armed with a male. And the weight of the Coase was 5000 in shackles of brass. And he had grieves,

00:08:21.650 - 00:08:29.780

a brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders and the staff of a spear. It was like a beam.

00:08:29.780 - 00:08:37.820

And his spears had weighed 600 shekels of iron. And one bearing a shield went before him. And he stood and pride onto

00:08:37.820 - 00:08:44.480

the armies of Israel and said to them, Why are you come out to set your battle in array? I'm not I a Philistine

00:08:44.480 - 00:08:52.690

and E servants to solve. Choose you a man for you and let him come down to me. He be able to fight with me and kill me,

00:08:52.690 - 00:09:02.240

then will we be your servants? But if I prevail against him and kill him, then shall ye be our servants and serve us. And the Philistine said,

00:09:02.240 - 00:09:11.180

I defy the armies of Israel this day, give me a man that we may fight together. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistines,

00:09:11.180 - 00:09:19.790

they were dismayed and greatly afraid. And David said to Saul, let no man's heart, you or because of him,

00:09:19.790 - 00:09:26.180

thy servants will go and fight with this Philistine. And Saul said to David, thou art not able to

00:09:26.180 - 00:09:35.180

go against this Philistine, to fight with him for thou art but a youth. And he a man of war from his youth. And David said on to solve,

00:09:35.180 - 00:09:43.910

thy servant, kept his father's sheep. And there came a lion and a bear and took a lamb out of the flock. And I went out after him and smote

00:09:43.910 - 00:09:51.710

him and deliberate it out of his mouth. And when he rose against me, I caught him by his beard and smote him and slew him.

00:09:51.710 - 00:09:58.940

Thy servants slew both the lion and the Bayer. And this uncircumcised Philistine Shelby is one of

00:09:58.940 - 00:10:07.060

them seeing here the armies of the living God. David said, moreover, the Lord delivered me out of the pol,

00:10:07.060 - 00:10:18.200

of the lion and out of the paw there, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine and solve, say it onto David. Goal and the Lord be with

00:10:18.200 - 00:10:33.800

the and soul arm, David with his armor. And he put a helmet, a flash upon his head.

00:10:33.800 - 00:10:42.650

Also, he armed him with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword upon his armor, and he has saved to go for, he had not proved it.

00:10:42.650 - 00:10:49.940

David said them to solve, I cannot go with these four. I have not proved them. And David put them off him.

00:10:49.940 - 00:10:56.300

And he took his staff and his hand and chose him five smooth stones out of the growth and put

00:10:56.300 - 00:11:05.440

them in the shepherd's bag, which he had even in a script. And his sling was in his hand. And he drew near the Philistines.

00:11:05.440 - 00:11:11.330

And the philistine came on and drew near unto David. And the man that bear the shield went before him.

00:11:11.330 - 00:11:19.730

And when the Philistines looked about and saw David, He disdained him for he was but a youth and ready and have a fair countenance.

00:11:19.730 - 00:11:30.010

And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog without comes to me with staves? Philistine Kirsch, David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David,

00:11:30.010 - 00:11:38.600

come to me and I will give thy flesh until the fowls of the air and to the beasts of the field. Then said, David to the Philistine,

00:11:38.600 - 00:11:45.770

thou come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a shield. But I come to the, in the name of the Lord of hosts,

00:11:45.770 - 00:11:52.900

the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will allow or deliver the into my hand.

00:11:52.900 - 00:11:59.960

And I will smite the and take thine head from the, and I will give the Caucasus of the host of the Philistines

00:11:59.960 - 00:12:08.540

this day until the fowls of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth. All the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

00:12:08.540 - 00:12:15.230

And all this assembly shall know that the Lord, save if not with sword and spare for the battle is the

00:12:15.230 - 00:12:24.100

large and E will get you into our hands when it came to pass, when the Philistine arose and came and drew nigh to meet David,

00:12:24.100 - 00:12:33.080

that David haste ID and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his BY and took vents a stove

00:12:33.080 - 00:12:42.950

and slang it and smoke the Philistine and slew him. And there was no sword in the hand of David. Therefore, David Rand and stood upon

00:12:42.950 - 00:12:51.870

the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of the sheath, are off and slew him and cut off his head. There with

00:13:02.500 - 00:13:08.390

you have been listening to the seventh program and a series of readings from the King James version

00:13:08.390 - 00:13:17.180

of the English Bible by Wilbur Olin deciphered University Professor Emeritus at the University of Delaware. Dr. ciphered presents

00:13:17.180 - 00:13:24.950

these readings to exemplify the Bible stories as part of world literature. We hope you will join us

00:13:24.950 - 00:14:52.940

at the same broadcast next week for another program in this series. The University of Delaware cooperation, the WIPO, presents with a series of grieving,

00:14:52.940 - 00:15:01.480

the King James version of the English. These readings or by the distinguished educators and biblical scholar Owen cipher,

00:15:01.480 - 00:15:19.330

university professor at America's first of the three kings of Israel. David and some parts.

00:15:19.330 - 00:15:32.720

David and you, Ryan and Nathan's parable. Delightful essay on both. Robert Louis Stevenson refers to George Meredith novel the egoless.

00:15:32.720 - 00:15:41.260

In these words, here is a Nathan for the modern David. Here is a book the same, the blood into men's faces.

00:15:41.260 - 00:15:49.070

This biblical allusion is to the discreditable action of David in sending you right into the forefront of

00:15:49.070 - 00:15:59.060

the battle in order that you, Ryan might be killed and that he is the king, could then have Bathsheba for his wife. Nathan is sent by the Lord to

00:15:59.060 - 00:16:07.400

David to rebuke him for his sin. Details David, the parable of the rich man, who instead of killing one of these many cheap,

00:16:07.400 - 00:16:15.710

took the one little lamb of the poor man to provide, at least for the traveler. When David declares that

00:16:15.710 - 00:16:35.890

such a man is worthy of death. Nathan, others, the simple, meaningful statement, thou art the man. And the Lord sent Nathan unto David.

00:16:35.890 - 00:16:47.750

And he came unto him and said unto him, there were two men in one city, the one rich and the other four rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds.

00:16:47.750 - 00:16:56.960

But the poor man had nothing saved one little lamb, which he had bought and nourished up. And he grew up together

00:16:56.960 - 00:17:04.730

with him and with his children. It did eat of his own meat and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom and

00:17:04.730 - 00:17:12.140

was under him as a daughter. And there came a traveler under the rich man and he spared the peak of his own lot,

00:17:12.140 - 00:17:23.270

ended his own herd to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him. But help the poor man's lamb and rested The man that was come to him.

00:17:23.270 - 00:17:30.800

And David DJ anger which greatly kindled against the man. And he said to Nathan, as the Lord liberates the man that has

00:17:30.800 - 00:17:40.420

done this thing shall surely die. And He shall restore or the lamb for food because he did this thing and because he had no pity.

00:17:40.420 - 00:17:49.120

And Nathan said the day that thou art the man, thus saith the Lord God of Israel. I anointed the king over Israel,

00:17:49.120 - 00:17:59.750

and I delivered the over Israel. And I delivered the out of the hand of Saul. And I gave the dye master's house and thy master's wives into thy bosom and GAVI,

00:17:59.750 - 00:18:08.060

the house of Israel and Judah. If that had been too little, I would moreover have given until such and such thing,

00:18:08.060 - 00:18:16.100

wherefore hast thou at his FIS, the commandment of the Lord to do evil in his sight. Thou has gill URI or the Hittite with

00:18:16.100 - 00:18:24.650

Assad and has taken his wife to be thy wife, and has slain him with the sword or the children of amine. Now therefore, the sword

00:18:24.650 - 00:18:34.500

shall never depart from nine house because thou has despised me and has taken the wife of Uriah, the Hittite, to be dyed white.

00:18:44.890 - 00:18:55.780

The lament of David. This poem is a simple, sincere, moving expression of three, for the loss of a frame.

00:18:55.780 - 00:19:07.000

If it was not written by David himself, it undoubtedly was written by a contemporary of a man of genuine poetic power. The author, whoever he may have them.

00:19:07.000 - 00:19:13.940

As here, I created a poem which does not suffer by comparison with lament poems of modern English leverage

00:19:13.940 - 00:19:22.210

or more consciously autistic in content and style, such as Milton's list of this Tennyson's in memoriam,

00:19:22.210 - 00:19:32.600

Shelley's AD and AS honours thesis. And David limited with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan, his son.

00:19:32.600 - 00:19:40.810

The beauty of Israel is slain upon die high places. How are the mighty fallen? Tell it not in Gath,

00:19:40.810 - 00:19:47.750

publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon, less the daughters of the Philistines rejoice. Less the daughters of

00:19:47.750 - 00:19:55.720

the uncircumcised try in the mountains of Gilboa. Let there be no view. Neither let there be reign upon you,

00:19:55.720 - 00:20:04.880

nor fields of offerings. Are there. The shield of the monkey is violet, cast away. The shield of solve as though he had not been

00:20:04.880 - 00:20:12.190

anointed with oil from the blood of the slain, from the theft of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not fact,

00:20:12.190 - 00:20:23.540

and the sort of saw returned and not empty. Saul and Jonathan were lovely and present in their lives. And in their death. They were not divided.

00:20:23.540 - 00:20:33.170

They were stricter than eagles. They were stronger than lie on the daughters of Israel lifo versus FIFO view in Scarlett with

00:20:33.170 - 00:20:41.590

other delights who put on ornaments of the old upon your apparel. Or the mighty fall. And in the midst of the battle,

00:20:41.590 - 00:20:51.230

old Jonathan, thou wast slain and nine high places. I am distress for the, my brother Jonathan. Very pleasant mood.

00:20:51.230 - 00:21:03.640

Has thou been Anthony die? I love, to me was wonderful. Passing the love of women or the mighty fallen and the weapons of war.

00:21:03.640 - 00:21:24.200

Paris. Appearance of the Lord in a dream to Solomon. In Gibeon, the Lord appeared to

00:21:24.200 - 00:21:33.980

Solomon in a dream by night. And God said, asked. I shall give thee. And Solomon say, if thou hast showed unto thy servant David,

00:21:33.980 - 00:21:42.040

my father, great mercy. According as he walked before the in, through righteousness and enough rightness of hot with thee.

00:21:42.040 - 00:21:50.060

And thou hast kept for him this great kindness that thou has given him a son to sit on his throne as it is this day.

00:21:50.060 - 00:21:58.280

And now, oh Lord, my God, thou hast made thy servant King instead of David, my father. And I am but a little child.

00:21:58.280 - 00:22:05.710

I know not how did the wealth or come in? And thy servant is in the midst of thy people, which thou has chosen.

00:22:05.710 - 00:22:16.430

Great people that cannot be numbered nor counted for mother to give, therefore thy servant an understanding hot to judge people that I

00:22:16.430 - 00:22:27.910

may discern between good and bad for who is able to judge this guy. So break of people. And the speech pleased

00:22:27.910 - 00:22:39.290

the Lord that Solomon had to ask this thing. And God said unto him, because thou hast asked this thing and has not asked for thyself long life.

00:22:39.290 - 00:22:52.610

Neither has to ask Richard for thyself, nor has to ask the life of thine enemies, but asked, asked for thyself understanding to desert and judgment.

00:22:52.610 - 00:23:00.410

Behold I have done according to thy word, low, I have given the y's and an understanding hot so

00:23:00.410 - 00:23:08.090

that there was none like the before the, neither after the shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given the,

00:23:08.090 - 00:23:14.900

that which thou has not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the king,

00:23:14.900 - 00:23:27.250

like unto thee all thy days. And Solomon the world and behold, it was a dream. Solomon's judgment between the two women.

00:23:27.250 - 00:23:34.340

Then came. There are two women that were holiday. They came and stood before him. And the one woman said,

00:23:34.340 - 00:23:41.210

Oh my Lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. And I was delivered of a child with her in the house.

00:23:41.210 - 00:23:48.410

And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered that this woman was delivered also, and we weren't together.

00:23:48.410 - 00:23:57.890

There was no stranger with us in the house safely to the house. And this woman's child died in the night because she overlaid it.

00:23:57.890 - 00:24:06.050

And she arose at mid night and took my son from beside me while line handmade slept and laid it in her bosom,

00:24:06.050 - 00:24:14.500

and laid her dead child in my bosom. And when I rose in the morning to get my child, behold it was dead.

00:24:14.500 - 00:24:24.790

But when I had considered it in the morning, behold it was not my son, which I did there. And the other woman said, Nay, but the living is my son

00:24:24.790 - 00:24:31.640

and the dead is thy son. And they said, no, but the dad is thy son of the living is my son.

00:24:42.070 - 00:24:52.520

And the other say, if they die, son is dead and my son is the living. And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.

And the king said, divide the living child into and give half to the 1.5 to the other. Then spake, the woman who's the living child was under the king,

00:25:03.400 - 00:25:11.750

or her bowels urine defend her son. And she said, Oh my lord, give her the living child and didn't know why slay it.

00:25:11.750 - 00:25:21.080

But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. Then the king answered and said, Give her the real mother,

00:25:21.080 - 00:25:30.080

the living child, and in no wise slay it, she is the mother of their off. And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had
