Melody Monday: Israel's First Kings

When teaching about the United Kingdom and Saul, David, and Solomon, I use this song to help the children remember:

Israel's First Kings

Israel's first kings, 1-2-3
Were Saul, David, and Solomon.
Israel's first kings, 1-2-3
Were these great men.

Saul was tall, taller than all.
David would keep his father's sheep.
Solomon, David's son, was the wisest man of all.

Israel's first kings, 1-2-3
Were Saul, David, and Solomon.
Israel's first kings, 1-2-3
Were these great men.


There's another verse, but I can't remember the part that goes with Saul. David, the king, liked to sing. Solomon, David's son, built the temple in his day.

Thanks for your great website!
And for the song about the first 3 kings of Israel.
But what is the tune of the song?

Thanks!
