A noble queen devised a plan;
It saved her kith, but hanged a man. (Esther 5.)
A man who in his strength did pride.
Wont from his wife the secret hide. (Judges 14.)
Another to the Spirit lied,
His wife did try their sin to hide. (Acts 5.)
The last for God a place to gain,
Put forth his hand and he was slain. (2 Sam. 6.)
The answer here is plainly told,
His own possession, which he sold;
In after years he sought and wept;
A cunning man the treasure kept.
Initial letters of the above four names
spell the name of the man described in
the last four lines.
