This is what people do when they really are sorry.
Right.
Well, you know, that's making me – I don't know if you're familiar with all the details of that Bible story about David and Bathsheba, you know.
And it's almost this funny modern politics story, right?
Okay, well, so here's King David, powerful king of Israel, and he basically commits adultery in office.
He sees a woman that he can have because of his power, who's not his wife, and arranges her to come to the palace and has his way with her.
And then the story's going to break, and her husband's going to find out.
And he, in a very modern way, tries to quell the story, quash it, before it gets out.
He has her husband sent to the front lines of battle where he gets killed.
He does everything he can to hope that he can just actually hide it.
He does not feel sorry about it.
And he really digs himself in deep.
And time goes on, and the prophet becomes aware of this, you know, divinely, and comes to confront David on it.
And what does he do?
He tells him a story.
He gets him engaged in this little fable about somebody who has a pet lamb, a poor man with a pet lamb that he loves like a pet, and that a rich man goes and gets that lamb and prepares it for a meal.
Because of his power, the poor man's like a serf who lives on his land.
So the rich man's just like, hey, I'm taking that.
Yeah, because everything you have is mine.
So it's this really awful thing of something that someone else valued very highly was valued very low by the rich man just because of his power.
