22 Noko ke, aphendula onke amadoda obubi nangamatshivela+ kuloo madoda ayehambe noDavide aza amana ukuthi: “Ngenxa yokuba engahambanga kunye nathi, asiyi kuwanika into kwixhoba esilihlanguleyo, ngaphandle kokunika ngamnye umfazi wakhe noonyana bakhe, aze ke abakhokele ahambe.”

2 Kokubini izolo nangaphambili+ ngoxa uSawule wayengukumkani phezu kwethu, nguwe owawukhupha nowawungenisa uSirayeli.+ NoYehova wathi kuwe, ‘Wena uya kwalusa+ abantu bam amaSirayeli, yaye wena uya kuba yinkokeli+ kaSirayeli.’”

15 Kwehla ke isithathu sabaziintloko emashumini amathathu+ saya eliweni, kuDavide emqolombeni waseAdulam,+ ngoxa iqela lamaFilisti lalimise inkampu entilini yamaRefa.+
