Saul An Anoited King

The women danced singing:
 "Saul has killed his thousands
 and David his tens of thousands."
(1Samuel 18:7). 

Through envy and perhaps jealousy
Saul pursued David from that day onward;
Causing the Lord to be sorry that he made him 
(Saul) king.

In modern times just as in the old
A gifted or talented feat
Could cause eruption in the same way.
And men do not keep their word.
