Uzowanikela esandleni sami?” UJehova wamphendula wathi: “Khuphuka ngombana nakanjani ngizowanikela esandleni sakho.”+ 20 Yeke uDavida waya eBhali-Peratsimu, wawarhayila lapho. Ngalokho wathi: “UJehova uhlule amanabami phambi kwami,+ njengeboda eligirizwe mamanzi.” Kungebangelo abiza indawo leyo ngokuthi yiBhali-Peratsimu.*+ 21 AmaFilista atjhiya abozimu bawo lapho begodu uDavida nabantu bakhe babasusa.
