A little city and few men within it A little city and few men within it A little city and few men within it

Title taken from the text of Ecclesiastes 9:14-16

There was a little city and few men within it; and a great king came against it and besieged it and built great bulwarks against it;

Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no one remembered that same poor man.

Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength: even though the poor man’s knowledge is despised, and his words are not heard.
