How Dem Anoint Saul

The battle start again. This time, Israel fall scatter. Thirty thousand soldiers drop die. Hophni and Phinehas lie down with them, their bodies quiet. And the ark? The Philistines hold am and carry am go like prize. Everything wey Israel trust don go. Everything.

Philistine soldiers carry the ark high above the field wey full with blood. Dem carry am go while Israel dey watch. The battle don lost. The ark don lost. Fathers bury their sons. Wives wait for men wey no go ever come home. Na the worst day anybody fit remember.

One man run all the way go Shiloh. His clothes don tear. Dirt cover his head. When the town hear the news, dem cry out loud well well the sound full the streets. Old Eli sit down by the gate, his blind eyes dey look front, his whole body dey shake. Wetin happen? Tell me wetin happen!
