ELIAB

That boy! What’s he doing here
Leaving the sheep to the wilderness?

Where’s the kid off to now?
Seeing the king!

What does the lad look like
Happed up in a real man’s armour!

But look now - that youth is off
To play giant-killer!

See him - a young man against
An experienced man of war!

Here, did you see what my brother
Did to Goliath?

What a man!


1 Samuel 17

  2. I love Eliab's conclusion. At first he wonders what David is doing there but soon realizes his brother is born for this giant. I like the way you've written this, beautiful. Thank you.
