Paakaona mwanakomana wake mukuru, akafunga kuti: ‘Uyu ndiye chaiye.’ Asi Jehovha akaudza Samueri kuti akanga asiri iye waakanga asarudza. Jehovha akati: ‘Ndinoona zviri pamwoyo, kwete zvakangoita munhu wacho nechekunze.’

Hauna vamwe vanakomana here?’ Jese akabva ati: ‘Kwasara mumwe chete, mudiki wacho, anonzi Dhavhidhi. Aenda kunofudza makwai angu.’ Dhavhidhi paakauya, Jehovha akati kuna Samueri: ‘Uyu ndiye wacho chaiye!’ Samueri akabva adurura mafuta mumusoro maDhavhidhi, achimuzodza kuti azova mambo wevaIsraeri.
