17 Apho ufela khona ndiya kufela khona,+ ndingcwatyelwe khona. Wanga uYehova angenjenjalo kum aze ongeze+ kuko ukuba kungabikho nantoni na enokusahlula ngaphandle kokufa.”

3 Waza uYonatan noDavide benza umnqophiso,+ ngenxa yokumthanda kwakhe njengomphefumlo wakhe.+

2 Ke yena uYonatan, unyana kaSawule, wayeyoliswa kakhulu nguDavide.+ Ngoko uYonatan wamxelela uDavide, esithi: “USawule ubawo ufuna ukukubulalisa. Uze ke ukhe uzilinde, nceda, kusasa, yaye umele uhlale emfihlekweni uze uzifihle.+

17 Ngoko uYonatan wafunga kwakhona kuDavide ngenxa yothando lwakhe ngaye; kuba wamthanda njengokuthanda kwakhe umphefumlo wakhe.+

41 Wahamba umlindi. Ke yena uDavide, wesuka kufuphi apho waya ngasemzantsi. Wandula ke wawa ngobuso emhlabeni+ waza waqubuda izihlandlo ezithathu; baqala ukwangana+ nokulilelana, wada uDavide waba utsho kakhulu.+

16 Ke kaloku wesuka uYonatan unyana kaSawule waza waya kuDavide eHoreshi, ukuze asomeleze+ isandla sakhe ngokubhekisele kuThixo.+

17 Iqabane lokwenyaniso lithanda ngamaxesha onke,+ yaye lingumzalwana ozalelwe ixesha lokubandezeleka.+

24 Wambi amaqabane ayonakalisana,+ kodwa kukho umhlobo onamathela ngokusondele ngakumbi kunomntakwenu.+
