Two are better than one,

Because they have a good reward for their labor.

For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.

But woe to him who is alone when he falls,

For he has no one to help him up.

Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;

But how can one be warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.

And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

(Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)

––––––––

Forsake foolishness and live,

And go in the way of understanding.

"He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,

And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.

Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;

Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;

Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

(Proverbs 9:6-9)

The king's subject’s tried to grab the javelin’s that were stuck in the table because they had left their spears in the armory but it was too late. The attackers came in with spears and clubs, very few of the king's men survived. The king fought valiantly but became overwhelmed as his enemies were as numerous as locusts during a plague. All while his men were distracted by the others.

Eli carried the king's son away from the battle but young Z saw everything. Z grew furious and wrestled his way out of Eli’s arms and ran toward his father’s attackers. Eli tried to stop him saying We need to hide! but Z was blinded by his rage. Z being only a child fought with all of his might. While he fought he found a strength that he
