1 Kwathi emva kokufa+ kukaYoshuwa oonyana bakaSirayeli babuza+ kuYehova, besithi: “Ngubani na kuthi oya kunyuka kuqala aye kumaKanan ukuze alwe nawo?”

18 Kwaye asuka aya eBheteli aya kubuza kuThixo.+ Baza oonyana bakaSirayeli bathi: “Ngubani na apha kuthi ofanele kukukhokela ukuya edabini nxamnye noonyana bakaBhenjamin?”+ UYehova wathi: “UYuda makakhokele.”+

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.”
