21 Ke yena uya kuma phambi koEleyazare umbingeleli, aze ambuzele+ ngokugweba kweUrim+ phambi koYehova. Baya kuphuma ngokomyalelo wakhe baze bangene ngokomyalelo wakhe, yena noonyana bonke bakaSirayeli ndawonye naye nendibano yonke.”

5 Athi kuye: “Nceda, ubuze+ kuThixo+ ukuze sazi ukuba indlela esiyihambayo iya kuphumelela na.”

28 Ke kaloku uFinehasi+ unyana kaEleyazare, unyana ka-Aron, wayemi phambi kwayo ngaloo mihla,+ esithi: “Ndiphume na kwakhona ndiye edabini nxamnye noonyana bakaBhenjamin umzalwana wam okanye ndiyeke?”+ UYehova wathi: “Nyuka, ngenxa yokuba ngomso ndiya kumnikela esandleni sakho.”+

2 Waza uDavide wabuza+ kuYehova, esithi: “Ndiye na, ndize ndiwaxabele la maFilisti?” Naye ke uYehova wathi kuDavide: “Yiya, uze uwaxabele amaFilisti uyisindise iKeyila.”

11 Ngaba abanini-mhlaba baseKeyila baya kundinikezela na esandleni sakhe? Uya kuhla na uSawule kanye njengoko evile umkhonzi wakho? Owu Yehova THIXO kaSirayeli, mxelele umkhonzi wakho, nceda.” Wathi ke uYehova: “Uya kuhla.”+

6 Nangona uSawule wayebuza kuYehova,+ uYehova wayengaze amphendule,+ nokuba kungamaphupha+ okanye kungeUrim+ okanye ngabaprofeti.+

5 Kholosa ngoYehova ngayo yonke intliziyo yakho,+ ungayami ngokwakho ukuqonda.+
