What's interesting is that Saul tries to steal his role as priest, and in doing so,
He abdicates his role as king.
He doesn't kill Agag, which he should have.
And so then what ends up happening is now the priest has to do what the king was supposed to do.
So it's kind of a weird reversal of roles that Samuel actually righteously does finish the job.
but what Saul wouldn't do.
And then Saul was impatient trying to do the job of the king, I mean, of the priest when he should have just been doing the job of the king in the first place.
Yeah, for sure.
So then you got Goliath, which he didn't get into this, but I've always found it interesting, Michael Heiser's connection of Goliath to the Nephilim in Genesis 6, that he was left over when they...
He didn't bring this up, but I just wanted to mention it because I thought it was fascinating when I was reading his book.
I can't remember the name of it now, but he talked about how when Joshua went in, well, initially whenever Moses sent his spies in to look at the Canaanites, they were like, oh, we can't defeat them because they're giants.
And so Joshua comes back in and finishes the job, but the only place that he didn't go was this area where the Philistines are.
And so Goliath is thought to be kind of like this leftover part of the Nephilim.
Some genetics there, yeah.
Yeah, some genetics there.
So you're even seeing like in this, you're seeing like God's redemptive plan being played out through the Davidic line and David shows up on the scene.
And yeah, he's a little shepherd boy now, but he's also, as Dr. Jackson brought up, he kills lions for a living too.
That's exactly right.
She wouldn't even at the ball, you know, or she wouldn't, she didn't get invited to the ball, but then she shows up and it's always, yeah, but that is the way that, that
It seems like that seems to be the story of God's people.
