Stinking of sheep shit.

[Lenny]

Saul rejected his God, and fought
With his faith.
So he was cursed by a wraith.
Samuel, a new king must be sought.

God Rejected Eliab,
Look at the heart, never the skin.
Passed by Shammah and Abinadab,
Jesse don’t you have anymore sonly kin?

Only one,
David, my youngest son.

Stinking of sheep shit.
Seven older than he,
Kept faith when others quit
Anointed by Samuel, anointed by Heaven.

With an epah, sent as a messenger
And came upon a war.
Battle lines drawn.
A giant insulting Jew like a whore.

Goliath of Gath,
Bellowed end this war with a single bloodshed,
Best me, be your servants.
Best whoever you hath
Be our servants…

The most infamous of all,
Challenged an Israelite to a dual.
Goliath of Gath thought he couldn’t fall.
A shepherd boy knew he was a fool

For he mocked God, insulted the Jew.
The few
Must resist, see their flaw
Stand up and behead them all.

Stepping forth David went
Armed with stick and stone,
Trusted God, so he had known.
While stinking of sheep shit

Even the lowest shall be known.
Used by God to bring down the sinful.

“Am I a dog
That you come against me with a stick?”
“I come against you with the Lord Almighty
Whom you defied with your prologue
And this day you shall be handed over to me.

Stood up, hit Goliath with a stone,
Knocked him flat. With his very sword
Sliced through the bone
And severed his spinal cord.

Behead him where he laid.
Carried the head for all to see.
Saul killed his thousands, the peasants decree,
David, tens of thousands slayed

To God goes the credit.
While stinking of sheep shit
Anointed by God, revered by all,
Save one, Saul.

To be continued….
