• 00:03 David Hart: Welcome to "Our Jewish Roots,"
• 00:06 with insightful Bible teaching by Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
• 00:09 Today, we discover how David captured the heart of Israel
• 00:12 on "Warrior King."

• 01:03 David: We are so glad you've joined us today.
• 01:04 I'm David Hart.
• 01:06 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:07 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: And I am Jeffrey Seif.
• 01:09 And the word for today is "lohem," warrior,
• 01:13 "The Warrior King."
• 01:15 We're gonna roll out a series again.
• 01:16 It was a great one.
• 01:18 Kirsten: It's all about King David and, dare I say, he was
• 01:21 sort of a renaissance man before the renaissance came.
• 01:25 He did everything.
• 01:27 He fought, he was leadership, he wrote songs.
• 01:30 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yeah, you don't always get that in one
• 01:33 person: a warrior and a poet at the same time.
• 01:36 David: Right now we take you to our dramatic reenactment in
• 01:38 Israel, followed by teaching from Dr. Seif in Israel also.
• 01:43 Let's go there now.
• 01:45 ♪♪♪
• 01:51 female: We will never forget that day.
• 01:53 Our hearts leaped for joy at the sight of him.
• 01:57 David, the giant killer, had returned.
• 02:00 The Philistines thought that Goliath could never be defeated,
• 02:03 but David had proven them wrong.
• 02:06 What faith.
• 02:07 How bold.
• 02:09 He went to battle with a few small stones and returned with
• 02:12 the sword of a giant.
• 02:14 King Saul had done well in selecting him.
• 02:17 Our enemies have been slain by the tens of thousands.
• 02:22 Because of David we now have peace within our walls.
• 02:26 ♪♪♪
• 02:36 ♪♪♪
• 02:39 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: There was electricity in the air,
• 02:41 if you will.
• 02:42 People were bristling with excitement.
• 02:46 And why is that?
• 02:47 Because there was a sense in Israel that there was a new day
• 02:50 dawning and why is that?
• 02:52 Because a new personality was emerging.
• 02:57 David was beginning to make his mark on Israelite history
• 03:01 and people had a sense that they'd be the better for it.
• 03:05 It had been hundreds of years since Israel
• 03:08 had someone like him.
• 03:11 [speaking foreign language]
• 03:12 Moses was a religious sort, but he was a spirited soldier.
• 03:16 Joshua fired up the national spirit with enthusiasm as he,
• 03:22 with his intrepid bold spirit, followed in Moses's footsteps,
• 03:27 but after that, the whole thing fell apart.
• 03:30 For hundreds of years, there wasn't a national hero and
• 03:35 people just went to their own homes, they went their own way,
• 03:39 and Israelite life slipped into decay, despair,
• 03:44 and disorientation.
• 03:48 Saul held the banner for a season and it was his job to
• 03:52 take the sword out of the sheath and fight Israel's battles,
• 03:56 but Saul was independent minded and he lost the job.
• 04:02 God said, "Enough already."
• 04:04 He proved himself unmanageable, unteachable, couldn't work with
• 04:08 him, more concerned with what people thought
• 04:10 than what God thought.
• 04:12 And so, attention shifted to the house of Jesse where the Lord
• 04:17 alighted upon a fella named David.
• 04:21 The word "David" comes from a word meaning beloved.
• 04:24 And beloved David worked his way into the hearts of Israel,
• 04:31 and Israel was the better for it.
• 04:33 But there was one heart that was not the least bit kindly
• 04:38 disposed toward his arrival.
• 04:40 We read here, and by here I mean in 1 Samuel chapter 18, that
• 04:46 following a skirmish with the Pelishti, with the Philistines,
• 04:52 we're told in verse 7 that the women came out with tambourine
• 04:56 in hand, celebrating, and they sang and I quote,
• 05:02 [speaking foreign language]
• 05:06 "Then Saul has slain his thousands."
• 05:11 You go, Saul, and then
• 05:14 [speaking foreign language]
• 05:17 "and David his tens of thousands."
• 05:22 And listen to me.
• 05:23 Saul was fit to be tied.
• 05:27 I don't know if women understand how much of an effect that they
• 05:30 have on the males of the species in so many ways.
• 05:34 Saul was so sensitive to how the women perceived him and being
• 05:38 wrapped up in himself as he was, he knew that he was on the outs
• 05:42 with God and when he saw David's rise, he became David's enemy
• 05:48 henceforth and forever more, all the way to the grave.
• 05:54 Difficulties notwithstanding, against the backdrop of a
• 05:57 monarch who is forever trying to kill him, David still rose and
• 06:02 grew higher and higher and higher.
• 06:05 And my word to you is you may well have a Saul in your life or
• 06:09 a set of circumstances that's holding you back, that's indeed
• 06:12 adversarial.
• 06:14 Every time you turn around, someone for reasons of their own
• 06:17 is looking to knock the legs out from underneath you.
• 06:20 Difficulties notwithstanding, when we look at the Warrior
• 06:23 King, we're gonna see a story of a man who was not to be stopped.
• 06:28 We're gonna see a story of a man who overcame adversity, who
• 06:32 overcame the Sauls in his life, and he had more than one
• 06:35 problem.
• 06:37 Saul was a perennial one, but when Saul dissipated,
• 06:39 there were others.
• 06:41 But difficulties notwithstanding, at the end of
• 06:43 David's administration, Israel which was 6000 miles
• 06:48 was then 60,000 miles.
• 06:50 David left his mark through song and many of them were sung in
• 06:54 his wake where David, under his administration, taught people
• 06:58 that with God we can overcome life's obstacles and get the
• 07:02 better of life's vexing dilemmas.
• 07:07 male: At first, our leaders were fearful about the prophet's
• 07:10 visit to Bethlehem.
• 07:12 But father assured us that this man of God, Samuel, was here on
• 07:16 a holy mission.
• 07:18 God had told him that one of us would be selected as Israel's
• 07:22 next king.
• 07:24 Father was sure that it would be my brother, Eliab, but the
• 07:28 prophet asked to see my next brother, and then the next.
• 07:33 He looked at all my brothers and in each case said, "The Lord has
• 07:37 not chosen this man."
• 07:40 Finally, the prophet said to father, "Do you have any more
• 07:43 sons?"
• 07:45 Father told him he had one more.
• 07:49 David was young and handsome and, according to Samuel, was
• 07:54 the one God had chosen to be anointed.
• 07:58 ♪♪♪
• 08:06 male: Things changed forever that day for my brother David
• 08:10 and for all of Israel.
• 08:16 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I believe the New Testament is a very,
• 08:18 very, very Jewish story.
• 08:20 Oh, I'm kind of different; not everybody sees it that way.
• 08:23 The gospel of Matthew, actually, was written in Hebrew first.
• 08:26 We only have Greek texts now, but starts off,
• 08:29 [speaking foreign language]
• 08:34 "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David,
• 08:40 ben David, and the Son of Abraham."
• 08:43 Think it's a great story.
• 08:45 Jesus Christ, you know, when I grew up I thought his father and
• 08:47 mother were Mr. and Mrs. Christ.
• 08:49 Then I was reminded that, actually, "Christ" itself is a
• 08:53 Greek telling of the Hebrew Mashiach, Messiah.
• 08:59 And the word "Messiah" itself comes from a word in Hebrew,
• 09:03 "Anointed One."
• 09:05 And why is that?
• 09:07 Because in the Torah, there were individuals that when they came
• 09:10 to office, they were anointed: prophets, priests, and kings.
• 09:15 And they were anointed with oil.
• 09:18 And here we are in an oil-making factory,
• 09:23 just like it was in Bible days.
• 09:26 And here, the olives are put in and they're ground down.
• 09:30 There's a number of grinding down processes
• 09:33 to get the fruit of the olive.
• 09:36 They put the olives under pressure.
• 09:39 And you know, on one level it kind of works, to my way of
• 09:44 thinking, that leaders get under the olive oil, you know, that
• 09:49 which is produced through all this pressure, 'cause the truth
• 09:52 of the matter is when individuals step up to lead,
• 09:57 they step up into a world where there's lots of pressures.
• 10:02 Our story takes place today against the backdrop of David
• 10:07 being visited by Shemu'el.
• 10:10 Samuel the prophet came to Bet Lehem, Bethlehem, and he came to
• 10:15 the house of Jesse and he said, "Let me see your boys."
• 10:19 "Something tells me I'm in for something good," says Jesse.
• 10:22 Those boys are marched one after the other.
• 10:24 "I'm planning on anointing one," says the prophet, but nothing.
• 10:29 Finally, after coming up empty, the prophet looks at Dad and
• 10:32 says, you know, "Don't you have anybody else?"
• 10:34 "Well, come to think of it, we do.
• 10:37 We have David, that kid out there."
• 10:39 To me, it's striking that his own father didn't think highly
• 10:42 of him, that David was a loser in his father's eyes, so much so
• 10:46 that when the prophet came to the house and said, "Let me see
• 10:50 your boys," David wasn't even included in the list.
• 10:53 And the fact that David is respected--disrespected, not
• 10:55 just by the father, but by his brothers later on when David
• 10:58 comes to the army, bringing food staples, talking about taking on
• 11:02 Goliath, his brothers, "Oh, shut up, David.
• 11:04 Who do you think you are?
• 11:06 Go tend to your lousy little sheep."
• 11:08 The kind of disrespect that David had is striking.
• 11:11 God takes this guy out of nowhere, who's a nobody, and
• 11:15 brings him somewhere and turns him into a somebody.
• 11:17 Let me tell you, that's all about the call of God.
• 11:21 The rabbis explain why it is that David was so marginalized
• 11:25 in his family system.
• 11:27 There are various arguments put forth, one of which is that
• 11:30 David himself was born out of an adulterous relationship, which
• 11:34 would explain why his brothers who construed their coming into
• 11:38 the family more legitimately, would look at him disparagingly.
• 11:42 You might recall the Psalm where David says, "In sin did my
• 11:44 mother conceive me."
• 11:46 And again, some rabbis attribute it to just that.
• 11:49 Others argue that much as David's grandmother was a
• 11:52 Moabitess, so was his mother.
• 11:55 Of non-Jewish extract herself, this could explain why some of
• 11:58 the other brothers marginalized David.
• 12:00 The reason why some put that forth is because when David was
• 12:03 on the run from Saul, he goes and leaves his mom with the
• 12:06 Moabites and that gives credence to that notion.
• 12:09 In any case, we're here in the text where the prophet comes to
• 12:15 the house.
• 12:17 [speaking foreign language]
• 12:20 And the LORD said [speaking foreign language]
• 12:22 'Arise, [speaking foreign language]
• 12:24 and anoint him; for this is he!'"
• 12:27 David, that nobody guy, gets the oil.
• 12:31 We're told, [speaking foreign language]
• 12:35 Then Samuel took the horn of oil [speaking foreign language]
• 12:42 "And he anointed him in the midst of his brethren."
• 12:46 And then, [speaking foreign language]
• 12:50 "And the Spirit of the LORD fell mightily upon David."
• 12:55 God calls all kinds of people.
• 12:58 We have people that are appointed as leaders, and here
• 13:01 we have people that are anointed.
• 13:04 I say three cheers for the call of God.
• 13:06 It's available not just for David and for me, but for you.

• 14:31 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: In a moment we're going to go to a
• 14:33 fascinating dramatic reenactment when David takes
• 14:37 on Golyat, Goliath.
• 14:40 David did that once.
• 14:43 We have to take on Goliath once a month when the rent
• 14:48 is due on television.
• 14:51 Let me, in advance, thank you for those who care to share, to
• 14:57 put some stones in our slingshot to throw against
• 15:01 these massive bills.
• 15:04 Television isn't cheap.
• 15:06 We're so glad to be on the air to tell this story.
• 15:09 So people can know it, we show it.
• 15:12 Off now to a fascinating enactment of a story I trust you
• 15:17 all know: David and Goliath.
• 15:24 male: David only needed one smooth stone,
• 15:28 but he selected five.
• 15:33 Waiting for him was the biggest man anyone had ever seen.
• 15:38 Over 9 feet tall, his armor alone weighed as much as a man.
• 15:42 His iron spear was greater than 15 pounds.
• 15:47 Goliath had taunted us unmercifully for 40 days.
• 15:52 Then one day, the shepherd boy, David, the son of Jesse,
• 15:57 confronted the Philistine beast with his sling
• 16:00 and that one single stone.
• 16:11 [cheering]
• 16:13 male: It was a day that all Israel shall never forget.
• 16:16 How proud we were.
• 16:18 We were serving in the army of the living God.
• 16:28 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: The word "seif" comes from the German
• 16:31 meaning soap.
• 16:33 Doesn't bring out the machismo spirit in me, to be sure.
• 16:36 But my parents are of German-Jewish extract.
• 16:39 The word "seif" has another name in Arabic.
• 16:41 It means "sword."
• 16:43 I prefer that, but I can't claim that.
• 16:46 However, when I think of the faith that I have through the
• 16:49 Messiah, through the Scripture, I can claim that sword kind of
• 16:53 valiant spirit, and the reason is, is because I wanna walk in
• 16:57 the footsteps of David.
• 16:59 We are considering a man who, against all odds, jumped into
• 17:05 the fray and accomplished great things in life.
• 17:10 I believe, by the way, that he needn't be an anomaly.
• 17:13 I think all of us can do much the same.
• 17:15 David didn't have much to begin with.
• 17:17 He didn't have a sword in hand.
• 17:19 In fact, David was known for a stone.
• 17:22 David didn't kill Goliath with a stone, as is oftenly--often
• 17:27 supposed.
• 17:28 He didn't. He stunned him with it.
• 17:31 In fact, I think Goliath was caught off guard in so many ways
• 17:34 that day, wasn't he?
• 17:36 He stunned him with it, knocked him out.
• 17:38 And I--it may well be that as Goliath was coming to, he just
• 17:41 lived to see the inglorious moment when he was slain
• 17:45 by his own sword.
• 17:48 David then took the sword as well as the head as trophies,
• 17:51 as booties, as plunder of war.
• 17:53 There's a great story there, not that I glory in any death,
• 17:57 but I am reminded of a basic biblical principle.
• 18:00 This is Bible 101, and that is that faith can, does,
• 18:05 and will move mountains.
• 18:07 It's all about us at one level.
• 18:09 By that I mean, do we wanna exercise faith and get on with
• 18:12 the pursuit of the future?
• 18:14 The word "confidence" comes from the Latin word "confides," or
• 18:18 conflation of words meaning "with faith."
• 18:22 We're looking at a story here where David learned it that day
• 18:25 in the field of battle.
• 18:27 And let me tell you that so many things in life are really
• 18:30 learned in the field of battle.
• 18:32 You know, if we wanna have a testimony with the Lord, that's
• 18:35 great, it's good to have a testimony, but if we're gonna
• 18:36 have a testimony, we've gotta have a, quote, "test," first.
• 18:40 And life presents with a lot of challenges, but challenges are
• 18:43 opportunities with work clothes.
• 18:45 We just have to rise up and meet them head on.
• 18:48 And David did that, didn't he?
• 18:50 Others were afraid, they were daunted by this towering
• 18:53 Goliath.
• 18:54 But David really thought that the bigger they were, the harder
• 18:56 they fall.
• 18:58 And he just jumped into the fray and the rest is history.
• 19:01 In the book Shemu'el, in Samuel chapter 17,
• 19:06 I want you to read with me here.
• 19:09 We're told,
• 19:10 [speaking foreign language]
• 19:14 Then David said to the Philistine,
• 19:16 [speaking foreign language]
• 19:19 'You come to me with sword and spear and javelin, et cetera.'"
• 19:24 But then what he says as a follow-up is just emblazoned in
• 19:27 biblical memory:
• 19:28 [speaking foreign language]
• 19:32 But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts."
• 19:38 [speaking foreign language]
• 19:39 The Lord of the armies.
• 19:41 Now I want you to hear me for a second.
• 19:44 We live in precarious times.
• 19:48 And I'm not just speaking about world culture
• 19:52 and individual nation states.
• 19:54 The world is a very precarious place and various nations are in
• 19:58 the throes of despair in so many ways.
• 20:01 When I think of household units that are basic building blocks
• 20:05 of any society, just like these pillars here are holding up this
• 20:08 house, so too the family is a basic building block.
• 20:11 The family is being assailed.
• 20:13 There are challenges today.
• 20:15 Well, who is or isn't president isn't as important, what social
• 20:19 programs are on the table isn't as important.
• 20:22 What's important is that we, like David, rise up with faith
• 20:27 because I believe that faith can and will pay dividends;
• 20:32 faith in Jesus, Israel's Messiah.
• 20:36 David: David was just a boy when that stone hit Goliath.
• 20:40 I have a feeling that that wasn't the first time he's had
• 20:42 a slingshot in his hand.
• 20:44 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I don't think so.
• 20:46 He had a lot of practice beforehand,
• 20:47 out there in the field.
• 20:48 Kirsten: I just have to say, I always like to kind of bring
• 20:51 it home for all of you viewers.
• 20:54 How does this apply, this story, this Bible story,
• 20:57 apply to us today?
• 20:59 And I think, maybe I think you'll agree and you'll agree,
• 21:03 that is a beautiful story that God chooses the overlooked.
• 21:08 Even David's father didn't even think about him.
• 21:11 Yeah, who are you gonna anoint?
• 21:13 Ah, that one out in the field, but God chose him.
• 21:16 He was the overlooked son, but he was the chosen one.
• 21:19 I think that's good.
• 21:21 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: It's a great point, you know.
• 21:23 His high school year book didn't have him in
• 21:24 as "Most Likely to Succeed."
• 21:28 His father disrespected him, his brothers threw him
• 21:31 under the bus.
• 21:32 Great point.
• 21:34 David: In this whole series about David, there's a lot of
• 21:36 ups and downs, kind of a rollercoaster ride in his life,
• 21:39 and I hope that we can apply this to our lives also.
• 21:43 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, you know, to that point, David
• 21:46 really resonates with me personally, that Warrior King
• 21:51 thing, that edge to throw yourself against
• 21:55 the troubles of the day.
• 21:56 I have that type A personality to do it.
• 22:00 But sometimes, David gets himself in trouble with it.
• 22:04 And the Bible, unlike other biographies, you know, if you
• 22:07 look at historiography in antiquity, the people that write
• 22:10 about the kings just blow stardust in their face about how
• 22:13 great they are, about their exploits.
• 22:16 But the Bible gives the bad and the ugly, not just the good.
• 22:20 In the Older Testament with David, yes, and in the Newer
• 22:22 Testament with the likes of Peter and Paul.
• 22:25 You know, we see both sides: the humanity and we see God
• 22:28 at work through it.
• 22:30 David: I was actually thinking about you during
• 22:33 getting ready for this series, that you also are kind of like a
• 22:38 warrior in your job during the week.
• 22:41 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, you know, I mean,
• 22:42 I've always had two vocations.
• 22:44 I've been to Bible college and a seminary professor, and then
• 22:46 part-time police and it's kind of gone back and forth.
• 22:49 You know, I have about 20, 25 years in policing, and you know,
• 22:55 I've had opportunity to go out there and throw some stones at
• 22:57 Goliath, put it like that.
• 22:59 David: But on the other hand, David played the harp,
• 23:03 he was a--
• 23:04 Kirsten: Psalmist, wrote songs.
• 23:06 David: Psalmist, so I kind of like what you and your wife do
• 23:08 at night sometimes.
• 23:10 You're a ballroom dancer.
• 23:11 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, yeah.
• 23:13 Kirsten: Oh, this is getting good now, ha, ha, ha.
• 23:15 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Okay, yeah, but--so, yeah, I'm the lover but
• 23:16 I'll leave the music with you guys, you know,
• 23:18 I'm not very poetic.
• 23:19 I'm not as good with words, romancing,
• 23:21 the language of the heart.
• 23:22 At the end of the day, I come home, my wife says,
• 23:25 "How was your day?" I say, "Good."
• 23:27 She says, "I'm your wife. I need more."
• 23:29 "Okay, it was really good."
• 23:30 You know what I mean?
• 23:32 I don't have a lot of vocabulary there.
• 23:33 I bet you guys do, because you musician artists are in touch
• 23:36 with all of that stuff, yes?
• 23:38 Kirsten: Well, it's keeping--it's being balanced, I
• 23:39 think, and as we saw in David's life and we will see more, he
• 23:44 was balanced but ultimately he was a man after God's own heart.
• 23:49 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: That's true.
• 23:51 That was his saving grace, and ours too.
• 23:53 David: Right, so much more to come.
• 23:54 Stay with us.

• 25:06 Kirsten: Walking the Holy Land changes your life.
• 25:08 If the doors are open, we go.
• 25:11 One of our favorite spots in the Holy Land is the Galilee.
• 25:15 That's one of your favorites, isn't it?
• 25:16 David: It is.
• 25:18 We have a good friend who actually lives there.
• 25:19 Many friends that we've made in the past five years that we've
• 25:21 been on this program, Chaim Malespin, who you've seen
• 25:24 before, is in this next segment.
• 25:27 Let's go to him right now in Tiberius.

• 25:39 Chaim Malespin: All of us Israelis serve in the army, guys
• 25:40 three years, girls two years, mandatory.
• 25:43 We have to get together and defend the defenseless in this
• 25:46 one democracy in the Middle East.
• 25:48 I serve with the Combat Engineer Corp, the elite unit for special
• 25:50 operations and missions.
• 25:53 And it comes down to faith sometimes,
• 25:56 when it's truly a dangerous scenario.
• 25:59 We know that he never slumbers nor sleeps
• 26:00 who watches over Israel.
• 26:02 But do we know that when we're in the face of discomfort
• 26:05 or danger?
• 26:06 I know that there's that moment where you have ten minutes
• 26:08 to phone your family.
• 26:10 You can't tell them you're about to go into a very
• 26:11 life-threatening situation but you just say, "I love you.
• 26:14 I'll see you later."
• 26:15 And that may be the last call you ever have.
• 26:18 But that faith had to become real for me.
• 26:20 My challenge is now, will our faith become real as we step
• 26:25 into God's prophetic plan unfolding right now?

• 27:16 Kirsten: God has a specific call on Chaim Malespin's life,
• 27:20 as he had on King David's.
• 27:22 It was for his time and he rose to the occasion, didn't he?
• 27:26 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yes, and we need some of that for this time.
• 27:29 David-like leadership for Goliath-like times.
• 27:32 I see Goliath when I look around.
• 27:35 Kirsten: It's not easy.
• 27:36 We've discussed everything that people have been walking through
• 27:39 in the world.
• 27:40 It is hard.
• 27:42 And we need those people to rise up with a few stones and say,
• 27:45 "I'm gonna take that down.
• 27:46 That doesn't scare me."
• 27:47 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: That's right.
• 27:49 Kirsten: Yeah, and rise to the occasion.
• 27:50 David: Yes, hopefully this series will help you.
• 27:52 Invite a friend.
• 27:53 We have so much more in this series to come.
• 27:55 Join us next week.
• 27:56 We always end our program with this.
• 27:58 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Shaalu shalom Yerushalayim.
• 28:00 David: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
