“O king, harken unto me. I am standing in your presence And in the presence of your people. You have, O king, Made me your priest this day. As you have heard me in the past Predict words that have been fulfilled this day, I will prove to you that God has assisted you. You have triumphed over poverty, And you are this day the great king of Hawaii, With men living under you. If you will rule wisely, Then you will rule forever. But if you should behave like your older brother, Then you will be despised. To refuse to take heed is death; To take heed is life.” At the close of this chant of Kaoleioku to Umi he again addressed the king and Omaokamau. We will here see whether the appointment of Kaoleioku as the high priest by Umi was a wise thing, and we will also see how true was the prophecy made by him before the king and people. Kaoleioku said: “O king, stand up.” After Umi had arisen he said: “Omaokamau, stand up.” They were about eight fathoms apart from each other. This action of Kaoleioku was to test the king Umi, as to whether he would hold the kingdom firm or not. While the two were thus standing, Omaokamau was given the spear called Kaniaupiiikalani, which he took and held in his right hand. This spear was never used for any other purpose except that of making tests, such as this, where the priest wished to determine the length of time a king was to reign. Kaoleioku then said to Omaokamau: “Say, Omaokamau, use all your strength and throw the spear at the king’s middle.” Kaoleioku was well aware that Omaokamau was a great spearsman, being of great strength. At this order, Omaokamau raised the spear, poised it and then threw it at Umi with all his might. [The thrust was known as “wahie.”] As the point of the spear came near Umi’s middle, Umi warded it off causing the spear to go glancing to his rear; while the spear was still on its flight Umi caught it by the point and held it.
