2 Kwaye yayinonyana ogama linguSawule,+ oselula noyinzwana, yaye kwakungekho ndoda yayiyinzwana kunaye koonyana bakaSirayeli; ukususela emagxeni akhe ukusa phezulu wayemde ngaphezu kwabo bonke abantu.+

11 Kwathi ke bakumbona bonke abo babemazi ngaphambili, khangela! wayeprofeta kunye nabaprofeti. Ngenxa yoko abantu bathi omnye komnye: “Kwenzeke ntoni na kunyana kaKishe? Uphakathi kwabaprofeti noSawule na?”+

15 Ngoko bonke abantu baya eGiligali, baza apho bamenza ukumkani uSawule phambi koYehova eGiligali. Bandula ke benza imibingelelo yobudlelane apho phambi koYehova,+ yaye apho uSawule nawo onke amadoda akwaSirayeli baqhubeka benemihlali ngomlinganiselo omkhulu.+

47 Wabuthabatha ke uSawule ubukumkani phezu koSirayeli+ waza walwa imfazwe nxamnye nazo zonke iintshaba zakhe ezazimjikelezile, nxamnye noMowabhi+ nanxamnye noonyana baka-Amon+ nanxamnye noEdom+ nanxamnye nookumkani baseTsobha+ nanxamnye namaFilisti;+ yaye naphi na apho wayejikela ngakhona wayedlulisela umgwebo wesohlwayo.+

23 kuba imvukelo+ iyafana nesono sokuvumisa,+ nokunyanzelisa ngekratshi nqwa nokusebenzisa amandla angaqhelekanga nemilonde-khaya.+ Ekubeni uligatyile ilizwi likaYehova,+ ngako oko naye uyakugatya ekubeni ngukumkani.”+
