14 Yehova abwira Mose ati: “Ibyo ubyandike mu gitabo bizabe urwibutso kandi ubwire Yosuwa uti: ‘nzatsemba Abamaleki kandi ntibazongera kwibukwa ukundi munsi y’ijuru.’”+

47 Ubwami bwa Sawuli burakomera muri Isirayeli yose, agaba ibitero ku banzi be bose bari bamukikije, atera Abamowabu,+ Abamoni,+ Abedomu,+ abami b’i Soba+ n’Abafilisitiya.+ Abo yateraga bose yarabatsindaga. 48 Akomeza kuba intwari ku rugamba atsinda Abamaleki,+ akiza Abisirayeli abanzi babo.

15 Nuko Samweli abwira Sawuli ati: “Ni njye Yehova yohereje kugira ngo ngusukeho amavuta ube umwami w’abantu be ari bo Bisirayeli,+ none umva ibyo Yehova yavuze.+ 2 Yehova nyiri ingabo yavuze ati: ‘Ngomba guhanira Abamaleki ibyo bakoreye Abisirayeli, igihe babarwanyaga bari mu nzira bavuye muri Egiputa.+ 3 None genda wice Abamaleki+ ubarimburane+ n’ibyabo byose, ntuzabarokore.* Uzice+ abagabo n’abagore, abana hamwe n’impinja, wice inka n’intama n’ingamiya n’indogobe.’”+

42 Bamwe mu bakomoka kuri Simeyoni, ni ukuvuga abagabo 500, bagiye ku Musozi wa Seyiri+ bayobowe na Pelatiya, Neyariya, Refaya na Uziyeli bari abahungu ba Ishi. 43 Bahageze, bishe Abamaleki+ bari barasigaye bakahahungira maze barahatura kugeza n’uyu munsi.*
