And the first component, Zach, that you left out of that, which even bolsters your point even stronger, because what you mentioned was the second big mistake.

The first one, remember, was him being impatient and taking the role.

of a priest.

Remember he stepped in when Sam... So not only did he not do what God told him to do in wiping out these people, but he took on the role of a priest.

So now we get down to this final stage.

And to your point, Zach, he not only... He kills the very people that once he was trying to imitate...

And he wipes out his own people.

I mean, in that process.

That shows you, you talk about a mistake compounded on a mistake compounded on a mistake.

I mean, that's exactly what you say.

Which was his, what did you call it?

Doeg the Edomite.

And he shows this, Zach, when you get to chapter 28.

He again continues this behavior.

So now he's done this and this terrible thing.

And so Samuel has died.

So you remember Samuel was the one he always wanted to stay attached to Samuel because somehow he thought that was like a thread line to the Almighty for him because they had always been so linked.

Well, now Samuel's gone.

So he doesn't know what to do.

I mean, he knows it's not going well.
