Who am I?

Who am I?
A secret weapon?
Hidden
Wrapped
Forgotten
From a battle long ago

Who am I?
To be this weapon?
Given

Providential
Protection
From an enemy within

Who am I?
A secret weapon?
Sharp

Skilled
Useful
Only in my Master’s hand

Who am I?
Goliath’s sword

1 Samuel 21:8-9
David asked Ahimelech, "Don't you have a spear or a sword here? I haven't brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king's business was urgent." The priest replied, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it; there is no sword here but that one." David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."
