Intukuthelo kaSawule yayisimvuthela uJonathani , wathi kuye : Wena ndodana yowesifazane owonakeleyo nohlubukileyo , angazi yini ukuthi ukhethile indoda na kaJese kube yihlazo lakho nehlazo lobunqunu bukanyoko, na?

Kodwa uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wangikhetha endlini yonke kababa ukuba ngibe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade; ngokuba ukhethile uJuda ukuba abe ngumbusi , nasendlini kaJuda indlu kababa , naphakathi kwamadodana kababa wangenamela mina ukuba angibeke inkosi kwa - Israyeli wonke,

Xwaya ukuba ungabhekisi ubuso bakho ebubini , ngokuba ukhethile lokho kunokuhlupheka.

Ngokuba uJehova ukhethile iSiyoni ; ulithandile libe yindawo yakhe yokuhlala:

Kodwa inye into edingekile ; uMariya ukhethile isabelo esihle angayikwaphucwa sona.
