Zevi stood near the flap to the tent. He was waiting to talk to his Commander. He was thinking about his cousins. Gavriel joined one of Saul's divisions. Avidan had settled in Naioth with a new wife. He had also continued his Levitical studies.

All of a sudden, the tent flap opened.

" Captain". A 14 year old aide smiled. " He's ready for you now".

The Commander was sitting at a low table at the far end of the tent.

" Zevi". Commander Merotai smiled. " Come have a seat".

Instead, Zevi sat on the ground.

" I'll be brief Zevi". The Commander frowned. " We're going to war".

Zevi stared at the Commander. " When do we march?".

" Not yet, we still have some time". Merotai grinned. " I have a task for you".

" Anything Commander".

" I need you and the other Captains to call to arms your tribesmen". His voice hesitated. " King Saul also needs skilled metal workers and weavers".

" I will do my best Commander".

Merotai smiled. " I see promotion in your future".
