Abbott and Costello Do 2 Kings 17:4
With apologies to Abbott and
Costello's "Who's on First."
Abbott:
We're in 2 Kings 17:4. Let's go over the story. Hoshea quit paying
tribute to the king of Assyria and sent envoys to Egypt. I forget the King
of Egypt's name.
Costello:
So.
Abbott:
Huh?
Costello:
So.
Abbott:
You're right, it's not important, we'll let it go for now.
So, the
king of Assyria ...
Costello:
So the king of Egypt.
Abbott: I
was gonna say the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea.
Costello:
That's right.
Abbott:
So, the king of Assyria ...
Costello:
No, So the king of Egypt.
Abbott:
Let me tell the story!
Costello:
Well, then, tell it right!
Abbott:
Who arrested Hoshea?
Costello:
The king of Assyria.
Abbott:
Is that so?
Costello:
No, that's the king of Egypt.
Abbott:
So, the king of Egypt?
Costello:
Right.
Abbott:
So the king of Egypt arrested Hoshea?
Costello:
No, the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea.
Abbott:
But you just said the king of Egypt did.
Costello:
I didn't say So.
Abbott:
Oh, come on! So, the king of Assyria ...
Costello:
No, he's the king of Egypt.
Abbott:
How do we keep coming back to Egypt?
Costello: You said the king's name.
Abbott: What makes you think I even know his name?
Costello: You said So!
Abbott: I did not!
Costello: I heard you!
Abbott: Let me tell the story!
Costello: Then tell it right!

Paul's Use of Deuteronomy 25:4 in 1 Corinthians 9:9
Interpreters have wrestled with how Paul is using Deuteronomy 25:4 in 1 Corinthians 9:9. Allyson Presswood Nance has created a helpful table surveying a number of the different views. I have made a few minor changes and additions.
