16 Patapita nthawi, Yehova anauza Samueli kuti: “Kodi ulirira Sauli mpaka liti,+ munthu woti ine ndamukana kuti akhale mfumu ya Isiraeli?+ Thira mafuta mʼnyanga* yako+ ndipo unyamuke. Ndikutumiza kwa Jese+ wa ku Betelehemu, chifukwa ndasankha mmodzi wa ana ake aamuna kuti akhale mfumu yanga.”+

13 Samueli anatenga nyanga ya mafuta+ nʼkumudzoza azichimwene ake akuona. Kuyambira tsiku limenelo, mzimu wa Yehova unayamba kuthandiza Davide.+ Kenako Samueli anabwerera ku Rama.+

10 Awa ndi amene anali atsogoleri a asilikali amphamvu a Davide amene anamuthandiza kwambiri kulimbitsa ufumu wake pamodzi ndi Aisiraeli onse, kuti iye akhale mfumu mogwirizana ndi mawu a Yehova okhudza Aisiraeli.+
