Like palm groves that stretch far away,
    like gardens beside a river,
like aloes that the Lord has planted,
    like cedar trees beside the waters.

his king shall be higher than Agag,

he shall devour the nations that are his foes
    and break their bones.
    He shall strike with his arrows.[a]
