2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

A Successful Failure

My name let fame to a city small
 My Strategy captured a fortress tall
You'll find I'm a patriarch, author and seer,
 And at Playing or fighting I've never a peer
My Weapon, the greatest in Israel's Band,
 Was not made for me: it was mine second hand.

My Spouses were many; my Children brought Grief
 To me and my people; for one, life was brief.
For Purpose deceptive I doodled and drooled:
 Men thought me a traitor, but I kept them fooled.

Three sins I committed against the Lord God, 
 And Twice felt the wrath of his chastening rod.
In faithful obedience I've Seldom an equal;
 In latter-day writ you may read of my sequel.

My greatest ambition I failed to fulfill,
 Yet I 'm a success: I 'll be honored until
The earth is no more, so great is my fame.
 Now, with all of the clues, can you guess my name?
