14 Ke ngoku ubukumkani bakho abuyi kuhlala.+ Ngokuqinisekileyo uYehova uya kuzifumanela indoda evunyiweyo yintliziyo yakhe;+ yaye uYehova uya kuyimisela ibe yinkokeli+ phezu kwabantu bakhe, ngenxa yokuba akukugcinanga oko uYehova akuyalele kona.”+

28 Wathi ke uSamuweli kuye: “UYehova ulukrazule+ kuwe namhlanje ulawulo lwasebukhosini lukaSirayeli, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kulunika idlelane lakho elilunge ngakumbi kunawe.+

16 Ekugqibeleni wathi uYehova kuSamuweli: “Kuya kude kube nini na uzilile ngenxa kaSawule,+ ngoxa mna, kwelinye icala, ndimgatyile ekulawuleni njengokumkani phezu koSirayeli?+ Zalisa uphondo lwakho ngeoli+ uze uhambe. Ndiya kukuthumela kuYese+ waseBhetelehem, ngenxa yokuba ndizilungiselele ukumkani phakathi koonyana bakhe.”+

12 Ngako oko wathumela yaza yaziswa. Ke kaloku yayibubomvurha,+ umfana onamehlo amahle noyinzwana ngembonakalo. Wandula ke uYehova wathi: “Sukuma, mthambise, kuba nguye lo!”+

22 Yaye emva kokumshenxisa,+ wabavelisela uDavide njengokumkani,+ lowo wanikela ubungqina ngaye wathi, ‘Ndifumene uDavide unyana kaYese,+ indoda evunyiweyo yintliziyo yam,+ oya kwenza zonke izinto endizinqwenelayo.’+
