And I kind of wonder of that, about the beginning of, if Samuel's kind of feels like a guilt for Saul of, he did not, at least initially, he did not want this.

So you kind of feel like that burden of Samuel towards Saul of,

Saul's thrusted into this thing that he necessarily didn't want.

So Samuel maybe kind of feels like a guilt of, I've put him in this position, and I kind of feel bad about it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The most stable guy we know.
