UMikhali indodakazi kaSawule wamthanda uDavide ; bamtshela uSawule , kwaba kuhle emehlweni akhe.

uDavide wasuka waya , yena nabantu bakhe , wabulala kuwo amaFilisti abantu abangamakhulu amabili ; uDavide waletha amajwabu abo , bawayisa enkosini ephelele ukuba abe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi . USawule wayesemnika uMikhali indodakazi yakhe abe ngumkakhe.

USawule wabona, wazi ukuthi uJehova unoDavide ; uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule wamthanda.

USawule wathuma izithunywa endlini kaDavide ukuba zimlinde, zimbulale ekuseni; uMikhali umkaDavide wamtshela wathi : Uma ungasindisi ukuphila kwakho ngalobu busuku, uyakubulawa kusasa.

UMikhali wamehlisa uDavide ngefasitele , wahamba, wabaleka, waphunyuka.

UMikhali wathatha itherafi, walibeka embhedeni, wabeka isicamelo soboya bezimbuzi ngasekhanda lalo, walembesa izingubo.

USawule wathi kuMikhali : Ungikhohliseleni kanje , uvumele isitha sami ukuba sihambe, siphunyuke, na? UMikhali wamphendula uSawule ngokuthi: Wathi kimi: Ngivumele ukuba ngihambe; ngiyakukubulalelani na?

Kepha uSawule wayesemnike uPaliti indodana kaLayishi waseGalimi uMikhali indodakazi yakhe.

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.

UDavide wayesethuma izithunywa ku -Ishi Bosheti indodana kaSawule , ethi: Nginike umkami uMikhali engammiselwa ngamajwabu ayikhulu amaFilisti.

Kwathi umphongolo kaJehova ungena nje emzini kaDavide , uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule walunguza efasiteleni , wabona inkosi uDavide itshekula, isina phambi kukaJehova; wayidelela enhliziyweni yakhe.

UDavide wayesebuya ukubusisa indlu yakhe . UMikhali indodakazi kaSawule waphuma ukumhlangabeza uDavide, wathi: Yeka udumo lwenkosi ka-Israyeli namuhla, ezambulile namuhla emehlweni ezincekukazi zezinceku zakhe njengomunye wamayiyane, ezambula nokuzambula.

UMikhali indodakazi kaSawule akazalanga mntwana kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe.

Kwathi lapho umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova usungena emzini kaDavide, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawule walunguza efasiteleni , wabona inkosi uDavide isina, idlala; wayidelela enhliziyweni yakhe.
