2Koma Nahasi adaŵauza kuti, “Ndidzachita nanu chipangano pokhapokha aliyense nditamkolowola diso la ku dzanja lamanja, kuti pakutero ndichititse manyazi Aisraele onse.”
3Akuluakulu a ku Yabesi adamuyankha kuti, “Mutiyembekeze masiku asanu ndi aŵiri, kuti titumize mithenga ku dziko lonse la Aisraele. Tsono ngati sipaoneka wina wotipulumutsa, pamenepo tidzadzipereka kwa inu.”
4Pamene amithenga adafika kwao kwa Saulo ku Gibea, nauza anthu nkhaniyo, onse adayamba kulira motaya mtima.

10Nchifukwa chake adauza Nahasi kuti, “Maŵa tidzadzipereka kwa inu, ndipo mutichite chilichonse chimene chikukomereni.”
11M'maŵa mwake, Saulo adagaŵa anthu ake m'magulu atatu. Ndipo adaloŵa pakati pa zithando zankhondo za Aamoni m'mamaŵa kusanache, napha Aamoniwo mpaka masana dzuŵa litatentha. Tsono amene adapulumuka adangoti balala, aliyense kwayekhakwayekha.
12Apo anthu adamufunsa Samuele kuti, “Ndani amene ankanena kuti, ‘Kodi Saulo nkutilamulira ife?’ Bwera nawoni anthuwo kuti tiŵaphe.”
13Koma Saulo adati, “Palibe munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe amene aphedwe lero lino, pakuti lero Chauta wagwira ntchito yopulumutsa Aisraele.”
14Tsono Samuele adauza anthuwo kuti, “Tiyeni tipite ku Giligala, tikatsimikizenso ufumu wa Saulo kumeneko.”
15Choncho Aisraele onse adapita ku Giligala ndipo kumeneko adalonga Sauloyo ufumu pamaso pa Chauta. Anthu adapereka nsembe zachiyanjano pamaso pa Chauta, ndipo Saulo pamodzi ndi Aisraele onse adasangalala zedi kumeneko.
