the oracle of the man raised up as

the ruler chosen by the God of Jacob,

Israel’s beloved singer of songs:

2 Samuel 22:8-10

22:8 The earth heaved and shook;

the foundations of the sky trembled.

They heaved because he was angry.

22:9 Smoke ascended from his nose;

fire devoured as it came from his mouth;

he hurled down fiery coals.

22:10 He made the sky sink as he descended;

a thick cloud was under his feet.

2 Samuel 1:5-6

The chariots and leaders of the horsemen were in hot pursuit of him.

1:10 So I stood over him and put him to death, since I knew that he couldn’t live in such a condition. Then I took the crown which was on his head and the bracelet which was on his arm. I have brought them here to my lord.”
