16 “Ngomso malunga neli xesha ndiya kuthumela kuwe indoda esuka kwilizwe lakwaBhenjamin,+ uze ke uyithambise+ ibe yinkokeli yabantu bam uSirayeli; kwaye yona imele ibasindise abantu bam esandleni samaFilisti,+ ngenxa yokuba ndiyibonile inkxwaleko yabantu bam, kuba isikhalo sabo sifikile kum.+

5 NamaFilisti aqokelelana ndawonye ukuze alwe noSirayeli, iinqwelo zokulwa+ ezingamashumi amathathu amawaka nabakhweli-mahashe abangamawaka amathandathu nabantu abanjengentlabathi eselunxwemeni lolwandle ukuba baninzi;+ aza enyuka aya kumisa inkampu eMikimashe ngasempuma yeBhete-aven.+
