Kwakungekho mkhandi ezweni lonke lakwa -Israyeli, ngokuba amaFilisti athi: Funa amaHeberu azenzele izinkemba nemikhonto.

UJonathani wachitha ikhanda lamaFilisti elaliseGeba , amaFilisti akuzwa . USawule wabetha icilongo ezweni lonke, wathi: Makezwe amaHeberu.

Bobabili bazibonakalisa kulo ikhanda lamaFilisti ; amaFilisti ayesethi : Bhekani, amaHeberu aphuma emigodini acashe kuyo.

AmaHeberu ayenamaFilisti kuqala nawo akhuphukela ekamu nxazonke , aphendukela kwabakwa-Israyeli ababe noSawule noJonathani.

Waphuma nangosuku olulandelayo ; bheka, nanko amadoda amabili amaHeberu exabene; wathi kowonileyo: Umshayelani owakini na?

Udadewabo wayesethi kuyo indodakazi kaFaro : Ngihambe ngikubizele umzanyana kuwo amaHeberu ukuba akuncelisele ingane na?
