and it plays out even though he knows what is written as to the ending. pride continues - - - he believes he has an ace up his sleeve and he will rewrite the ending...."pride comes before a fall".
That's basically the story of David and Saul. David ended up backstabbing his king Saul because he wanted to be the big man and didn't want to wait his turn. He could have been a loyal and obedient follower but he got a big head and went to war against his king. That violates a lot of Biblical rules.
