10 Kwathi ke ngemini elandelayo+ umoya ombi kaThixo wasebenza kuSawule,+ ngokokuze azenze umprofeti+ ngaphakathi endlwini, ngoxa uDavide wayedlala umculo ngesandla sakhe,+ njengakwimihla yangaphambili; nomkhonto wawusesandleni sikaSawule.+

9 Umoya ombi+ kaYehova waba phezu koSawule xa wayehleli endlwini yakhe enomkhonto esandleni sakhe, ngoxa uDavide wayedlala umculo ngesandla sakhe.

6 Weva uSawule ukuba ufunyenwe uDavide namadoda awayenaye, ngoxa uSawule wayehleli eGibheya phantsi komthi wetamariske+ kwindawo ephakamileyo nomkhonto wakhe+ usesandleni sakhe nabo bonke abakhonzi bakhe bemi ngakuye.

12 Ngako oko uDavide wathabatha umkhonto nomphanda wamanzi kwindawo engasentlokweni kaSawule, bandula ke bona bangena endleleni; yaye kwakungekho bani ubonayo+ okanye nabani na ophawulayo okanye nabani na ovukayo, kuba bonke babelele, ngenxa yokuba babewelwe bubuthongo obunzulu+ obuvela kuYehova.
