And the story really starts with him out looking for his father's donkeys.

And Dr. Jackson talked about this.

And I've heard almost every other one talk about it.

you know, from like a commentary standpoint on kind of Saul's indecisiveness at the very beginning.

If he's looking for these donkeys and then he starts worrying about what's his father going to think.

And I'm always kind of confused by that of, you know, of like, how does that story resemble indecisiveness rather than just,

If I'm out looking for something that my dad sent me to do, and I'm like, well, it's getting late.

My dad might be worried about me, so I'm just going to go home and tell him what happened.

I feel like sometimes I wouldn't equate that to being an indecisive person.

I don't know, but I just wanted to hear your thoughts on that because that's how we're introduced to it.

Yeah.

Can you all explain the casting the lots a little more?

Because Dr. Jackson talked about it with Jonah.

When Jonah was actually the guilty party on the boat, and when they're trying to choose the king of Israel, they cast the lots again, which whoever falls on is the guilty party.

So I was kind of confused on that.

Yeah.

Yeah, because it's interesting.

It's interesting of where, because you kind of talked about this earlier, Alan, it seems like Saul does not want to be king at the beginning, right?

He's hiding.

But then later on in the story, he won't give up the kingship.
