USamuweli wathatha iwundlu elincelayo , wanikela ngalo libe ngumnikelo oshiswa wonke kuJehova ; uSamuweli wamkhalela u-Israyeli kuJehova ; uJehova wamphendula.

USamuweli akaphindanga ukumbona uSawule waze wafa , kepha uSamuweli wamkhalela uSawule ; uJehova wazisola ukuthi wayembekile uSawule inkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli.

USamuweli wayesefile ; wonke u -Israyeli wamkhalela , wammbela eRama umuzi wakhe . USawule wayexoshile ezweni abanamadl ozi phakathi kwabo nabathakathi.

U-Elisha esegula ngesifo afa ngaso, uJowashi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli wehlela kuye, wamkhalela wathi: Baba, Baba, nqola ka-Israyeli nabamahhashi bakhe!
