16 Ekugcineni uJehova wathi kuSamyela: “Uzomlilela bekube nini uSawula+ njengombana ngimalile bona abe yikosi yakwa-Israyeli?+ Zalisa iphondo lakho ngamafutha,+ ukhambe. Ngizokuthumela kuJese+ umBhetlehema, ngombana ngizikhethele ikosi hlangana namadodanakhe.”+

39 UTsadokhi umphristi wakhupha iphondo lamafutha+ ngetendeni+ wazesa uSolomoni,+ babetha ipalapala, boke abantu barhuwelela bathi: “Bayede Kosi Solomoni!”
