I do not understand why the query variable has a value inside async function that changes when returned and declared in the global environment. I want to return the value from my database to a global variable outside of the async function. What is the logically reason this happens. How do I extract the integer value from the Promise {1}.

async function glob(){

    var result = await knex.raw('select max(glob) from or');
    let query = await result.rows[0].max ;
    console.log(query);
    return query ;
   
}

let go = glob();

setTimeout(()=>{console.log(go)},1000);
setTimeout(()=>{console.log(go == 1)},1000);

The console returns.

1
Promise { 1 }
false
