After 2 Samuel 23:1-7
What does a man
think, near the end,
when shadows gather
and night is coming?
How does he assess
his life, what he’s
done, how he’s known,
what his legacy is?
For a ruler, the questions
are simple: has the Lord
spoken by me, have I
ruled in the fear of God,
does my house stand
with God, is the covenant
secure? Simple questions,
not so simple answers,
perhaps.
