E08 The Last Days Of Saul Poem by Simple Simon

Saul once again tried,
To kill his foe, David,
But miserably he failed,
As God protected David.

David went to Philistine side,
In search of a place to hide,
To be away from Saul's sight
And avoid any further fight.

At Philistia, he took shelter,
In the Town Ziklag later.
His friend and king's son,
Achish, gave him this town.

But David felt uncomfortable
As he was not acceptable
To the Philistines still,
Being one from Israel.

Thus he counted his days
Between King Saul's chase
And the Philistines' rejection
For his close association.

He faced all opposition
Under the Lord's protection.
He was waiting for a chance.
To free himself from this.

War broke once again,
When Philistine men
Killed many Israelites
In their severe fights.

Saul couldn't resist,
The enemies' fight,
So, he killed himself
Even before it went off.

Thus King Saul met his end..
His ways, he failed to mend
God warned him many times
Yet, he did several crimes.
