55 Ke kaloku ngaloo mzuzu uSawule abona ngawo uDavide ephuma esiya kuhlangabeza umFilisti, wathi kuAbhinere+ intloko yomkhosi: “Ngunyana kabani+ na le nkwenkwe,+ Abhinere?” UAbhinere wathi: “Ngobomi bomphefumlo wakho, kumkani, andazi konke konke!”

3 Kodwa uDavide wafunga+ esongezelela waza wathi: “Ngokuqinisekileyo uyihlo umele azi ukuba ndikholekile emehlweni akho,+ ngoko angathi, ‘UYonatan makangakwazi oku ngokoyikela ukuba angaba buhlungu.’ Kodwa, enyanisweni, njengoko uYehova ephila+ nanjengoko umphefumlo wakho uphila,+ linyathelo nje elinye phakathi kwam nokufa!”+

11 Wathi ke u-Uriya kuDavide: “ITyeya+ noSirayeli noYuda bahleli eminqubeni, nenkosi yam uYowabhi nabakhonzi benkosi yam+ bamise inkampu endle, mna ke—ndiye endlwini yam na ukuze ndidle ndisele nokuze ndilale nomfazi wam?+ Uphila nje wena nomphefumlo wakho uphila,+ andiyi kuyenza le nto!”

2 Yaye uEliya wathi kuElisha: “Khawuncede uhlale apha, ngenxa yokuba uYehova undithume eBheteli.” Kodwa uElisha wathi: “Njengoko uYehova ephila+ nomphefumlo wakho uphila,+ andiyi kukushiya.”+ Ngoko behla baya eBheteli.+

30 Unina wenkwenkwe wathi: “Njengoko uYehova ephila+ nomphefumlo wakho uphila,+ andiyi kukushiya.”+ Ngoko ke waphakama wahamba naye.

5 Kuba abaphilayo bayazi ukuba baya kufa;+ kodwa abafileyo, abazi nto konke konke,+ abasenamvuzo, ngenxa yokuba balityelwe, abasakhunjulwa nganto.+
