Now why would he bring all this stuff? The silver and the gold and change of clothing, obviously because, you know, with pro quo. Got to buy a miracle here, man. Yeah. I can't just like show up empty handed, inspect the prophet or the king to do something for me. God's not a you scratch my back. I'll scratch yours transactional kind of kind ofGod.
