After 1 Samuel 25:1-44
He hears from her lips
of his narrow escape
from destruction and
death, and the guilty
man quakes, realizing
how closely it came, how
closely his words nearly
brought his destruction.
His heart dies within him,
paralyzed with fear. Gripped
by paralysis, unable to move,
he turns to stone, dead within
ten days, struck down not
by the man he insulted,
but by the God the man
served. Judgment belongs
to the Lord.
