I am a tale of a king’s ascent,
His victories and his lament,
A story of a prophet’s rise,
And a woman who in prayer cries.
Within my pages, you will find
Actions done of every kind,
Love and hate, pride and shame,
All held in one timeless frame.
I begin with the barren’s plea
And end with Saul by Samuel’s decree,
Within my lines, David is made known,
And in each chapter, seeds are sown.
From the birth of Samuel to the death of Saul,
My words tell a story of rise and fall,
I am one of the most intricate of all,
The book of 1 Samuel, answer this call.
