UJakobe wayesesuka eBeri Sheba; amadodana ka-Israyeli amthwala uJakobe uyise, nezingane zawo , nawomkawo ezinqoleni abezithumile uFaro zokumthwala.

Wathi: Nanka amalungelo enkosi eyakubusa phezu kwenu : iyakuthatha amadodana enu, izibekele wona ezinqoleni zayo nasemahhashini ayo, agijime phambi kwezinqola zayo;

UDavide wasuka , weza endaweni uSawule amise kuyo ; uDavide wabona indawo uSawule ahlala kuyo , eno-Abineri indodana kaNeri , induna yempi yakhe; uSawule wayelele ezinqoleni, abantu bemise ngakuye nxazonke.

ODavide no -Abishayi bafika kubantu ebusuku ; bheka, uSawule wayelele ubuthongo ezinqoleni , umkhonto wakhe ugxunyekiwe emhlabathini ngasekhanda lakhe; u-Abineri nabantu bakhe babelele ngakuye nxazonke.

Wo kubona abehlela eGibith e ukuba basizwe khona , bencike emahhashini, bethemba ezinqoleni , ngokuba ziningi, nakubo abamahhashi, ngokuba benamandla; kepha ababheki koNgcwele ka-Israyeli, noJehova abamfuni.
