477.
[“Israel before their foes are fled!”]
When he made mention of the ark of God, &c.
—iv. 18.
“Israel before their foes are fled!”
Composed the tidings he receives:
“Whole troops; and both thy sons are dead!”
He hears the fatal news, and lives:
“The ark is taken by the foe,
And God doth with His ark depart!”
This, this inflicts the mortal blow,
And breaks his trembling, faithful heart.
