Chapter I SAMUEL was certainly getting to be an old man. He had been on his ass only an hour, and the sun was still low in the sky, yet already he was feeling stiff and hot, and the thought that Saul might be close on his track was unpleasantly insistent. He groaned and halted the ass. Elihu, who was driving the cow, halted too. Elihu, said Samuel. My lord, replied the man, flicking avay an insect from the cows flank. You say you know this man Jesse yourself. My father was his servant, and as a child I lived in his house. Yes; you told me so. Many times, foolish old man, muttered Elihu to himself, crossly, but softly, but you dont attend to what I say, and forget it the next minute, Elihu was annoyed with his master.
