Which One

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.-Luke 14:25-35***Over 1,000 years  before Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was speaking to his listeners regarding the cost of being his disciple, King Saul was in pursuit of David, and the Israelite men under Saul's authority refused to kill the priests Saul ordered them to kill. King Ahab was the 7th king to reign over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. Jezebel, Ahab's wife, was an idol worshiping Sidonian (Zidonian) princess. After Jezebel commanded the deaths of the prophets of the Lord God, Obadiah safely hid and kept alive 100 prophets of the Lord God and provided them with food and water. King Ahaziah was the 6th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. After Ahaziah was dead,  his mother Athaliah began to rule Judah. Athaliah commanded the deaths of her royal descendants. Jehosheba (Jehoshabeath), the wife of Jehoiada the priest, secretly rescued Athaliah's grandson Joash (Jehoash). Joash was hidden with his nurse in the temple of the Lord God for 6 years before being presented, crowned and anointed as the rightful ruler of Judah.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
