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

7 Waza uDavide wahlabela mgama wathi kuye: “Musa ukoyika, kuba nakanjani na ndiya kukwenzela ububele bothando+ ngenxa kaYonatan uyihlo;+ ndikubuyisele onke amasimi+ kaSawule uyihlomkhulu, udle isonka rhoqo etafileni yam.”+

10 Uze umlimele umhlaba, wena noonyana bakho nabakhonzi bakho, nize nimzisele isivuno, sibe kukutya kwabo bangabomzukulwana wenkosi yakho, bamele badle ke; kodwa uMefibhoshete yena, umzukulwana wenkosi yakho, uya kudla isonka rhoqo etafileni yam.”+

Ke kaloku uTsibha wayenoonyana abalishumi elinesihlanu nabakhonzi abangamashumi amabini.+

13 UMefibhoshete yena wayehlala eYerusalem, kuba wayesidla rhoqo etafileni kakumkani;+ yaye wayeqhwalela ezinyaweni zakhe zombini.+
