http://www.nostalgia.org.il/amuta/album_details.asp?id=62 There is a 30 second sample of the Amranim Duo at #17.

Barach HaMelech is one of the best examples of the Biblical song, once a popular Hebrew genre. The lyrics are by the poet Amos Etinger and the melody by Yosef Hadar, the composer of Erev Shel Shoshanim.
It's a very moving retelling of the Absalom story.

The King has Fled

The king has fled
fled by night from the town
the king fled
the king who was called David.
And Absalom took unto him men of valour and war
and Absalom
conspired to depose his father.

The king fled
through the Cedron Brook a caravan passed
the king fled
and came unto the Land of Gilead.
and Absalom
pursued with men of valour and war
and Absalom
swore to rule the people evermore.

In the king's army
the joyful assurance of victory is ever in their hearts
and the king's army
goes by night to war.
And Absalom
and his men of valour and war were pursued
Absalom was
killed with three tribes - by Joab.

The king wept
over his son Absalom wept by night
the king wept
over his son Absalom who did not return.
And Absalom
with his men of valour was defeated in the field
and Absalom
lay dead in the field of battle.
The king wept.
