Wathi: Kuhle; ngiyakwenza isivumelwano nawe , kepha yinto inye engiyifuna kuwe , ngeyokuthi awuyikubona ubuso bami , uma ungalethi kuqala phambi kwami uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule, lapho uzayo ukubona ubuso bami.

UMikhali indodakazi kaSawule akazalanga mntwana kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe.

UDavide wathi : Usekhona yini osele endlini kaSawule ukuba ngimenzele umusa ngenxa kaJonathani na?

Kwakukhona endlini kaSawule inceku egama layo linguSiba ; bambizela kuDavide; inkosi yathi kuye: UnguSiba na? Wathi: Inceku yakho inguye.

Inkosi yayisithi : Akusekho endlini kaSawule noyedwa engingamenzela umusa kaNkulunkulu na ? USiba wathi enkosini : UJonathani usenendodana elunyonga ngezinyawo.

Inkosi yayisimbiza uSiba inceku kaSawule , yathi kuye: Konke okukaSawule nokwendlu yakhe yonke ngikunike indodana yenkosi yakho.

Kepha inkosi yamyeka uMefibosheti indodana kaJonathani kaSawule ngenxa yesifungo sikaJehova esasiphakathi kwabo , phakathi kukaDavide noJonathani indodana kaSawule.

Kepha inkosi yathatha amadodana kaRispa indodakazi ka -Aya ayewazalele uSawule, o-Arimoni noMefibosheti ; namadodana ayisihlanu kaMikhali indodakazi kaSawule ayewazalele u -Adriyeli indodana kaBarizilayi umMeholati;
