SAUL

[Struggling up.] The battle, Ishui, at once command

It shall begin! To Jonathan and say it.

[Ishui goes.]

No prophecy shall sink me and no shade.

I am the king, and Israel, my own.

[Frenzied he goes. A silence.]

DAVID

[Breaking forth.] Michal to die and Israel to fall!

Prophet of prophets, Samuel, return!
