Noomala Davidi omwipha Goliyathi, owo ahikhala nhooleli aatooropa a mwene Sawuli. Davidi ahapwetesa awanani-ye awaatta ni ahikhala ntthu oovuwa. Athiyana yaanipa yiiraka: Davidi owipha atooropa awaatta onxira Sawuli. Ndho mwaha awa elo Sawuli aninkhalela nrima Davidi ni akatthuna omwipha.

Nihiku nimodha Davidi amwipelaka tthakare Sawuli, owo ahivonya nivakane wiira anhome Davidi masi khawenrye onhoma. Noomala-vo Sawuli ahilakela omwipha Davidi masi Davidi ahithyawela moothakoni.

Sawuli ahakusa atooropa-ye 3.000 wiira yankoce Davidi. Mohidhuwela Sawuli ahivolowa ncukuni mwemwo aipinthemo Davidi vamodha ni atthu-ye. Alopwana awo yaari ni Davidi yaahinleela wiira: ‘Davidi, nyuwo olelo mokhalana eparakha ya omwipha Sawuli.’ Ndho Davidi ahirowa ni ephole opuro ampanthiyevo Sawuli ni ahithikila nlayane, masi owo khamonne Davidi. Noomala Davidi othikila nlaya na Sawuli ahiivaha nthowa. Mwaha awa veene opaka elo, ahona wiira khantthitthiminhe mwene athanliwe ni Yehova. Ni ahakhothihera alopwana ariyena omwipha Sawuli. Okathi Sawuli akhume iye ncukuni, Davidi aahinleela wiira: ‘Oleelo kahikhalana eparakha ya owiphani masi nkipanke elo.’ Nire yoolakela ya Sawuli ya otthuna omwipha Davidi yahimmalela? Naari!

Sawuli khahin’ye onkoca Davidi. Nihiku nimodha ohiyu, Davidi vamodha ni ndhule aitthaniwa Abisai ahivolowa nhemani wa Sawuli mohidhuweliwa, okhala wiira Sawuli anruupa. Hata Abineri, yoowo ankhapelela mwene Sawuli ahiruupa. Okathi Abisayi onna iye elo, ahitthuna omwipha Sawuli. Masi Davidi aahinleela wiira: ‘Abisayi, Yehova onomphukela Sawuli! Nkuse nrinkine na maadhi ni nivakane nirowe.’

Davidi ni Abisayi yahikhumamo nhemani mmwe ni yaahiwela vadhulu wa mwaako. Moottharelana Davidi ahikhuwela airaka: ‘Abineri, seeni nhimmukhapelela nnyu mwene nnyu? Nrinki ni nivaka na Sawuli niri vaai?’ Hiyo nookusa itthu idha nyuwo nhinoonaka. Sawuli ahidhuwela wiira ari Davidi alootta, ndho ahakhula wiira: ‘Nyuwo mwanwerya okiipha miyo, masi nyuwo khimpake elo. Ndho nenna-va, kodhuwela saana wiira nyuwo nnokhala mwene a wIsarayeeli nhoolo.’ Noomala-vo Sawuli ahitthikela owannye. Masi niire wiira amudhi ootheene a Sawuli yaninnyokha Davidi? Nirowe noone.
