16 Yaye uKalebhi wathi: “Nabani na obetha iKiriyati-sefere aze ayithimbe, ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kumnika uAkesa+ intombi yam abe ngumfazi wakhe.”

49 Oonyana bakaSawule ke yayinguYonatan+ noIshvi noMaleki-shuwa,+ ke wona amagama eentombi zakhe ezimbini, igama laleyo yazalwa kuqala lalinguMerabhi+ negama lencinane linguMikali.+

17 Ekugqibeleni uSawule wathi kuDavide: “Nantsi intombi yam enkulu uMerabhi.+ Ndiya kukunika yena njengomfazi.+ Kuphela nje zingqine kum ungumntu olikroti uze ulwe iimfazwe zikaYehova.”+ Kodwa ke yena uSawule, wazixelela oku: “Mayingabi sisandla sam esiba phezu kwakhe, kodwa isandla samaFilisti masibe phezu kwakhe.”+

21 Ngoko uSawule wathi: “Ndiya kumnikezela kuye ukuze abe ngumgibe kuye,+ nokuze isandla samaFilisti sibe phezu kwakhe.” Ngako oko uSawule wathi kuDavide: “Ngomnye waba bafazi babini uya kwendiselana kunye nam namhlanje.”
