Royal Rivals

    Joseph firstborn of Rachel
      Yehudah, the fourth son of Leah
    Between them a rivalry from the start

    Two future kings, already fighting as lads
       Yehuda and his brothers mocking Joseph’s immaturity
    Joseph reporting to his father their impurities

    Joseph told his kingly dreams to his brothers on a whim 
       Yehuda and his brothers almost murdered him

    Yet decades later, the two kings were reconciled
       The would-be murderer apologizing to
          the ruler of the Nile – Joseph – surprise!
