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.+

6 Akungena ke kuDavide uMefibhoshete unyana kaYonatan unyana kaSawule, kwaoko wawa ngobuso waza waqubuda.+ Wandula ke uDavide wathi: “Mefibhoshete!” yena ke wathi koko: “Nguye lo umkhonzi wakho.”

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.
