Can you see the exact same thing?
He's very powerful, knew he was powerful, had taken Israel into captivity.
So obviously he was completely in charge, but God had used him to do this.
And God's using him for a purpose.
And then he gets to find even to God and God's like, oh, I think you need about seven years to go out and become a little farm animal to really teach you about who's in charge.
And so that's exactly, he goes crazy.
He has this spirit of, he goes out and runs with the wild animals for seven years.
