 The Downfall of King Saul

King Saul of Israel had long fought

The Philistines in constant war.

Then a witch told Saul he was not

In God's good favor any more.

On Mount Gilboah Saul did fight

His last battle and which would cost

His life, as the Philistine's might

Overwhelmed them and Israel lost

Pieter Bruegel The Elder chose

To paint of King Saul's suicide.

Depicted painting battle shows

Saul falls on sword and falls on pride.

Painting, "The Suicide of Saul,"

Of how "pride goeth before the fall."
