Jashobeam

Jashobeam
10-6-15

With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Taking bodies to Jabesh to bury them under the oak
Fasting seven days
Even from Millo, the citadel
Joab repaired the rest of the city
To make our walls look pretty
Our fort near Shechem
Jashobeam slew three hundred
And at the chime of six I'm in gear
At the valley of Rephaim
Across the stream with wooded shoes
That float three of thirty broke through
I am glad to have met you....





Benaiah
10-6-15

Parcel of ground full of barley
Where the Philistines gather
God gave them deliverance
Down to the rock of the cave of Adullam
As Benaiah slew two lionlike men
Why all this killing we inquire
When God is supposed to be a man of love
In his hand a spear like a weaver's beam
Lying on the eiderdown
Faces like lions swift as gazelles
And then to Ziklag
They could use both hands to hurl stones
After this I will return
And I will rebuild the temple's ruins...




To Coin A Phrase
10-6-15

So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord
I write to you these love letters
For Hiram king of Tyre
No longer in fetters
Levites are chosen to bear the ark
As somehow I prefer the dark
None other to carry it
You can't start a fire without a spark
Bruce said this
O, sanctify and consecrate
Learn how to love and forget how to hate
Ozzy said this to coin a phrase
And to quote the Scriptures
As the ark is with the family of Obed-Edom
God blessed him and all that he had.....
