He was a son of Egypt, as he told me, And one descended from those dread magicians, Who waged rash war, when Israel dwelt in Goshen, With Israel and her Prophet matching rod With his, the son's of Levi's and encountering Jehovah's miracles with incantations, Till upon Egypt came the avenging Angel, And those proud sages wept for their first born, As wept the unletter'd peasant.

Abishai had, in effect, said, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

He knew that Saul had been 'rejected, but he was 'Jehovah's anointed, and the unction which had rested on that sleeping head lingered still.
