15 Kwabuye kwaba nepi phakathi kwamaFilista no-Israyeli.+ Yeke uDavida neensebenzi zakhe behla bayokulwa namaFilista kodwana uDavida wadinwa.

17 Khonokho u-Abitjhayi+ indodana kaTseruya wamsiza+ warhayila umFilista loyo wambulala. Ngesikhatheso abantu bakaDavida bafunga kuye bathi: “Ungasathoma uye epini nathi!+ Akukafuzi ucime isibani sakwa-Israyeli!”+
