Medium from Endor
David said to Achish, the king of Gath
Got people chasin’ me on my path
Said, “If I have found favor in your sight
I need a place to live, if that’s alright.”
So Achish gave him Ziklag on that day (27:6)
He raided those Girzites with no delay (8)
Not a man or a woman did he leave alive (11)
In the South of the Kenites called Negev (10)
Now the Philistines gathered their people for war (28:1)
And Saul found a medium from Endor (7)
Disguised himself and made a visit to ask (8)
“Conjure for me please if you don’t mind a task.
Got a job for you, don’t need to be meek
Gonna use our wits and got to be sleek.”
But the witch said to him, “You hold your breath!
You’re laying down a snare, gonna bring my death” (9)
So Saul made a vow, said, “As the Lord lives
You won’t get in trouble! What gives?” (10)
Then she brought up Samuel’s spirit for Saul
And she knew it took some gall.
Saw Samuel all wrapped up in a robe (28:14)
Well, David attacked those cities
And it wasn’t too pretty
The man just took no jive
Left not a woman or man alive (27:9)
(1 Sam. 27, 28)
