sibuyisele kithi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wethu , ngokuba asiwufunanga ezinsukwini zikaSawule.

Kwakukhona ukulwa okunzima namaFilisti zonke izinsuku zikaSawule ; lapho uSawule ebona iqhawe nendoda enamandla wazithathela bona.

Izinceku zikaSawule zathi kuye : Bheka-ke, umoya omubi ov ela kuNkulunkulu ukuzumile.

UDavide wayeyindodana yalowo mEfrati waseB etlehema Juda ogama lakhe lalinguJese ; wayenamadodana ayisishiyagalombili ; lowo muntu wayemdala ezinsukwini zikaSawule phakathi kwabantu.

Wema, wamemeza ezinhleni zakwa -Israyeli, wathi kuzo : Niphumelani ukuhlela impi na ? Angisiye umFilisti , nina niyizinceku zikaSawule , na? Zikhetheleni umuntu, ehle eze kimi.

Izinceku zikaSawule zakhuluma lawo mazwi ezindle beni zikaDavide . UDavide wathi: Kuyinto elula emehlweni enu ukuba ngibe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi, lokhu ngingumuntu ompofu nodelelikileyo na?

Izinceku zikaSawule zamtshela zathi: Wakhuluma kanjalo uDavide.

Kwase kuphuma izikhulu zamaFilisti ; kwathi njalo uma zisaphuma , uDavide waziphatha ngokuhlakanipha kakhulu kunazo zonke izinceku zikaSawule, laze laduma kakhulu igama lakhe.

UDavide waphuma , waya nomaphi lapho uSawule emthuma khona , waziphatha ngokuhlakanipha ; uSawule wambeka phezu kwamadoda empi ; wayemuhle emehlweni abantu bonke nasemehlweni ezinceku zikaSawule.

USawule wathuma izithunywa ukumthatha uDavide ; lapho zibona iviyo labaprofethi beprofetha , uSamuweli emi engumholi wabo , uMoya kaNkulunkulu wazehlela izithunywa zikaSawule, nazo zaprofetha.

Kepha umuntu othile wezinceku zikaSawule wayelapho ngalolo suku , ebambekile phambi kukaJehova , ogama lakhe lalingu Dowegi wabakwa - Edomi, omkhulu wabelusi bakaSawule.

UDowegi wakwa-Edomi owayemi ngakuzo izinceku zikaSawule waphendula wathi: Ngabona indodana kaJese iza eNobi ku -Ahimeleki indodana ka - Ahithubi.
