8 Uze ke umenzele ububele bothando umkhonzi wakho,+ kuba umzise emnqophisweni+ kaYehova umkhonzi wakho kunye nawe. Kodwa ukuba kukho isiphoso kum,+ ndibulale ngokwakho, ekubeni kutheni ufanele undise kuyihlo?”

42 Waza uYonatan waqhubeka wathi kuDavide: “Hamba ngoxolo,+ ekubeni sifungile,+ sobabini, egameni likaYehova, sisithi, ‘Ngamana uYehova angaba phakathi kwam nawe naphakathi kwenzala yam nenzala yakho ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo.’”+

Wesuka ke uDavide wahamba, noYonatan wangena esixekweni.

18 Bandula ke bobabini benza umnqophiso+ phambi koYehova; noDavide waqhubeka ehlala eHoreshi, uYonatan yena waya ekhayeni lakhe.

9 Wathi ke uDavide: “Ngaba kusekho nabani na oseleyo wendlu kaSawule, ukuze ndimenzele ububele bothando+ ngenxa kaYonatan?”+

7 Noko ke, ukumkani waba nemfesane kuMefibhoshete+ unyana kaYonatan unyana kaSawule ngenxa yesifungo+ sikaYehova esasiphakathi kwabo, phakathi koDavide noYonatan unyana kaSawule.
