She shut the door carefully behind her. Mr. Pepper labored frantically with the pipe. "No use to shake it any more till you get the hammer," advised Keziah. "Might's well talk while you're waitin'. What was it you wanted to tell me?" Abishai drew one hand across his forehead, leaving a decorative smooch of blacking on his perspiring countenance.
'He shall feed me in a green pasture, And lead me forth beside the waters of comfort'. His parched longing lips gave utterance to the sigh, 'Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate? Three of his brave men, apparently Abishai, Benaiah, and Eleazar, heard the wish.
And a sad keeping of the feast will be mine; I shall see scarce a familiar face, that of no relative save Abishai; and I owe him but little affection. And oh! worst of all, I fear me that I have an unholy leaven in my heart, which I in vain seek to put entirely away.
"I do not understand you," said Abishai; "how is the word Sacrifice written on Nature?" "See we it not on all things around us?" replied Hadassah. "Does not the seed die that the corn may spring up; doth not the decaying leaf nourish the living plant; doth not one creature maintain its existence by the destruction of others?
Hadassah silently unrolled her parchment until she came to the thirteenth chapter of the prophet Zechariah. "Listen to this, son of Nathan," said she. "Who is My Fellow?" repeated Abishai, in amazement, for that portion of Scripture had never been brought to his attention before. "Can you have read the sentence correctly?
So Joab, and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
No anxious warnings of danger to be apprehended from the sudden entrance of Abishai could prevent Lycidas from dragging his languid limbs beyond the limits which the curtain defined, and joining in social converse. Lycidas resolutely shut his eyes to the fact that, to his hostess at least, his presence was unwelcome.
One sight was indelibly stamped on her brain it was that of Abishai all streaming with blood, his eyes glaring and glazed, his teeth clenched, as he hissed out the word "apostate!" in the last pangs of death. Zarah knew that it was death. Then rude hands were laid on herself; and the terrified girl felt as the gazelle feels under the claws of the tiger!
"If I were not uneasy regarding the safety of Abishai," resumed Hadassah But here, for the first time in her life, Zarah, with an appearance of impatience, interrupted the speech of her revered relative. "Have no fear for Abishai," cried the maiden, raising her head, and throwing back the long tresses which, from her drooping position, had fallen over her pallid face.
In that hour Abishai, the cousin of David, was preparing for the advent of the Sabbath, for the king's misfortune happened on Friday as the Sabbath was about to come in. When Abishai poured out water to wash himself, he suddenly caught sight of drops of blood in it. Then he was startled by a dove that came to him plucking out her plumes, and moaning and wailing.
