4 Ke kaloku uYonatan,+ unyana kaSawule, wayenonyana osisiqhwala.+ Wayeminyaka mihlanu ubudala ukufika kwengxelo engoSawule noYonatan eyayivela eYizereli;+ impelesi yakhe ke yamthwala yaza yasaba, kodwa kwathi njengoko yayibaleka ngokuphakuzela isaba, ngoko wawa waza waba sisiqhwala. Kwaye igama lakhe yayinguMefibhoshete.+

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.+

24 Ke yena uMefibhoshete+ umzukulwana kaSawule, wehla ehlangabeza ukumkani; yaye wayengazinyamekelanga iinyawo zakhe+ namabhovu akhe+ engawanyamekelanga nezambatho zakhe wayengazihlambanga ukususela kwimini yokumka kukakumkani kwada kwayimini yokufika kwakhe eseluxolweni.
