1 Samuel 9 1 There was a man of Benjamin Whose name was Kish the son to win Of Abiel, son of Zeror, The son of Bechorath before, The son of Aphiah, who was A Benjamite, a man who does Great feats. 2 He had a son whose name Was Saul, a young man of acclaim, And fine, and there was not among The folk of Israel a man hung Better than he, from his shoulders And upward taller than the fers Of all the people. 3 And the donkeys Of Kish Saul’s father on the tonkeys Were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, “Take now of the servants one With you and get up and go find The donkeys. 4 And they were inclined To go through Mount Ephraim and pass Through the land of Shalisha’s grass, But they did not find them, then they Went through the land of Shalim’s way, Without a sight, and he passed through The land of the Benjamite crew, But they did not find any stray. 5 When they arrived in land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant in proof Who was with him, “Come, let’s go back, So my father for donkey’s lack Will not worry about our track.” 6 And he answered him, “Listen, there Is in this city a man fair Of Ælohim, and he’s a great Man, all he says will meet its fate, So let’s go there, perhaps he can Show us our way and give a plan.” Some smile today that anyone should make A fuss to You above for donkeys’ sake. The riotous look for the changes in Your Word to find excuse to follow sin Because a number comes faintly across With the wrong addition or the wrong loss. The rules for washing change from year to year, And usury brings no consistent tear, The calendar is most imperfect here, And mint and anis distractions appear. But one thing like a red and golden thread Runs through the Scriptures from the tale to head, And that is the concern for donkeys’ health. Let human heart ponder in hard, cold wealth.
