So everything, all she had to live on. So everything, all she had to live on. So very quickly, what do we learn from very quickly, what do we learn from very quickly, what do we learn from this? We learn that notice the values this? We learn that notice the values this? We learn that notice the values that God has. The Bible never tells us that God has. The Bible never tells us that God has. The Bible never tells us who the richest person was in Jerusalem. who the richest person was in Jerusalem. who the richest person was in Jerusalem.
