53 Ngemva kwalokho, omunye wabafazi waphosa ilitje lokusila ehloko ka-Abimeleki, wamphahlaza ikhakhayi.+ 54 Wabiza msinya isisebenzi esiphatha iinkhali zakhe, wathi kiso: “Khupha isabulakho ungibulale, bona kungathiwa ngami, ‘Ubulewe mfazi.’” Yeke isisebenzi sakhe samhlaba, wahlongakala.

4 Nje-ke uSawula wathi kumphathinkhalakhe: “Khupha isabulakho ungihlabe ngayo bona amadoda angakasokwa la+ angafiki angihlabe begodu angiphathe ngelunya.” Kodwana umphathinkhalakhe bekangafuni ngombana bekarhidlwa livalo. Nje-ke uSawula wathatha isabula wawela phezu kwayo.+

23 Kuthe lokha u-Arhitofeli nakalemuka bona iseluleko sakhe asikasetjenziswa, wabophela udumbana waya kwakhe edorobheni lekhabo.+ Ngemva kokuthi ayale umndenakhe,+ waziphanyeka.+ Yeke wahlongakala begodu wabulungwa ethuneni labokhokho bakhe.
