16 Naʻe faifai atu pē pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia Sāmiuela: “Ko e hā hono fuoloa hoʻo mamahi koeʻuhi ko Saulá+ he kuó u siʻaki ia mei heʻene pule ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsilelí?+ Fakafonu hoʻo meʻatuí ʻaki ʻa e lolo+ peá ke ʻalu. Te u fekau atu koe kia Sese+ ko e tangata Pētelihemá, koeʻuhi he kuó u fili mei he lotolotonga hono ngaahi fohá ha tuʻi maʻaku.”+

13 Ko ia naʻe toʻo ʻe Sāmiuela ʻa e meʻatui ʻaiʻanga loló+ pea pani ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono fanga tokouá. Pea naʻe kamata ke fakaivimālohiʻi ʻe he laumālie ʻo Sihová ʻa Tēvita mei he ʻaho ko iá ʻo hokohoko atu.+ Ki mui ai, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Sāmiuela ʻo ne ʻalu ki Lama.+

10 Pea ko kinautolu eni ʻa e ngaahi ʻulu ʻo e kau tangata toʻa ʻi he taú ʻa Tēvitá, ʻa ia naʻa nau poupou mālohi kiate ia ʻi hono tuʻunga-tuʻí fakataha mo ʻIsileli kotoa ke fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻo fekauʻaki mo ʻIsilelí.+
