USamuweli walala kwaze kwasa , wavula iminyango yendlu kaJehova . USamuweli wesaba ukumtshela u-Eli umbono.

Kwathi ngosuku lwes ikhombisa umntwana wafa . Izinceku zikaDavide zesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana ufile , ngokuba zathi : Bhekani, umntwana esezwa sakhuluma kuye , akalalelanga izwi lethu ; pho, singamtshela kanjani ukuthi umntwana ufile? Angenza ingozi.

Wayeseya ukumtshela lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu . Wathi yena : Hamba uthengise ngamafutha , ukhokhe isikwenetu sakho , uzondle wena namadodana akho ngaseleyo.
