The fleeing monarch, after summiting
The mount, worships and prays; his friend appears,
Hushai; in the court of the false king
He must become his sovereign’s eyes and ears.
Hushai refutes the wise Ahithophel
And sends a message to the faithful pair
Of priests, who have performed their duties well,
Serving the Ark and David everywhere.
Their two sons bear the message to their lord
So that he has the counsel to withdraw
Across the river; trial of strength by sword
Could wait until the time that God foresaw.
Yet all depended on the word relayed
Through care and boldness by one faithful maid.

Beautiful and lyrical retelling from Samuel, David. Your photos are great, too. God bless!
