about

Based upon I Samuel 24-26.
Remebering Yitzchak Rabin, JFK, and other great world leaders.
David and the Bible send a clear message: No to political assassination.

lyrics

Then David fled, to the wilderness of Ein Gedi,
but Saul hunted him among the cliffs and deep ravines
Then to relieve himself Saul went inside the very cave
where David and his men were hid unseen

Said David's men: God has delivered your foe unto your hands,
but David rebuked them all and held them at bay
With his knife, from behind, he cut the corner of Saul's coat,
who when finished stood up and went on his way

Then David called out, bowing low: Father, hear my plea,
for God has delivered you unto me!
But evil deeds shall only come from wicked men --
though you hunt me,
I'd never harm my Lord King, can't you see?

And Saul broke down and cried: Is that your voice, David, my son?
You are in the right; I am undone!
You've spared my life, though I've tried for so long to hunt you down;
Today I know that you're the one who'll wear my crown.

Thus did David cry, bowing low: Father, hear my plea,
for God has delivered you unto me!
But evil deeds shall only come from wicked men --
though you hunt me,
I'd never harm my Lord King, can't you see?!

Aiton Birnbaum Israel

Hi. I'm originally from NYC, now live in Israel. Got into writing music to express emotions about difficult current events, often using Holy Scriptures. There must be a reason such writings have been preserved and hallowed by so many for so long. So putting ancient wisdom to new music just feels right. Hope you enjoy the English or Hebrew versions, and wish you well. Thanks for listening! ... more
