uSawule uthetha ngoDavide nokuba umele abulawe

1Wathetha uSawule kuYonatan, unyana wakhe, nakubakhonzi bakhe bonke, ukuba bambulale uDavide.

2uYonatan unyana kaSawule ubekholekile kunene kuDavide; uYonatan wamxelela uDavide, esithi, Uyise uSawule ufuna ukukubulala.

3Mna ndiya kuphuma ndime nobawo endle, apho ukhona, ndithethe ngawe kubawo; kwaye endikubonayo ndiya kukuxelela.

4uYonatan wathetha okulungileyo ngoDavide kuSawule uyise, wathi kuye, uYehova makangoni kumkhonzi wakhe uDavide; ngokuba akonanga kuwe, nangenxa yokuba imisebenzi yakhe ibilungile kakhulu kuwe.

5Wawunikela umphefumlo wakhe esandleni sakhe, wambulala umFilisti. uYehova wawazisa usindiso olukhulu amaSirayeli onke; wabona, wavuya; Yini na ukuba ube netyala legazi elimsulwa, ngokubulala nje uDavide?

6Waliphulaphula uSawule ilizwi likaYonatan, wafunga uSawule, wathi, Ova uYehova akayi kubulawa.

7uYonatan wambiza uDavide, uYonatan wamxelela la mazwi onke. uYonatan wamzisa uDavide kuSawule, wahlala ecaleni kwakhe njengangaphambili.

8Kwabuya kwabakho imfazwe, waphuma uDavide, walwa namaFilisti, wawabulala kakhulu; asaba ebusweni bakhe.

9Umoya ombi kaYehova wamfikela uSawule ehleli endlwini yakhe, ephethe umkhonto ngesandla, ebetha uDavide ngesandla sakhe.

10uSawule wazama ukumxhoma ngentshuntshe uDavide eludongeni; Wesuka ebusweni bukaSawule, waluhlaba udonga ngomkhonto wakhe; Wasaba ke uDavide ngobo busuku.

11Wabuya uSawule wathumela abathunywa endlwini kaDavide ukuba bamlinde, bambulale kusasa; uMikale, umkaDavide, wamxelela, wathi, Ukuba uthe akwawusindisa umphefumlo wakho ngobu busuku, wobulawa ngomso.

12uMikayeli wamhlisa uDavide ngefestile, wasaba, wasaba.

13Emva koko uMigale wawuthabatha umfanekiso womfanekiso wawubeka phezu kwebhedi waza wabeka umqamelo woboya bebhokhwe phezu kwelaphu lawo waza wawugubungela ngelaphu.

14uSawule wasusa abathunywa ukuba baye kumphuthuma uDavide, wathi yena, Uyafa.

15uSawule waphinda wathuma abathunywa ukuba baye kubona uDavide, esithi, Mziseni kum ngokhuko, ndimbulale.

16Bakungena abathunywa, bawubona umfanekiso lowo usemandlalweni, nomqamelo woboya bebhokhwe engutyeni yawo.

17Wathi uSawule kuMikali: “Kutheni na ukuba undixokise ngolu hlobo, ulundulule utshaba lwam, lwasinda lona? uMikali wamphendula uSawule, wathi, Wathi yena kum, Ndiyeke ndihambe; kutheni ndikubulale.

18Ebalekile uDavide, wasinda, waya kuSamuweli eRama, wamxelela konke abekwenzile uSawule kuye. Wahamba ke yena noSamuweli, baya bahlala eNayoti.

19Waxelelwa uSawule, kwathiwa, Nanku uDavide eNayoti ngaseRama.

20uSawule wasusa abathunywa ukuba baye kumphuthuma uDavide; Babona into eninzi yabaprofeti iprofeta, inguSamuweli phezu kwabo, wehla uMoya kaThixo phezu kwabathunywa bakaSawule, baprofeta kananjalo nabo.

21Waxelelwa uSawule, wasusa abanye abathunywa, baprofeta kwangokunjalo naye. uSawule waphinda wathuma abathunywa okwesithathu, baprofeta kananjalo nabo.

22Naye waya eRama, wafika equleni elikhulu laseSegu; wabuza wathi, Baphi na ooSamuweli noDavide? Wathi omnye, Khangela, baneNayoti, iRama.

23Waya apho uNayoti eRama, yaye umoya kaThixo waba phezu kwakhe, yaye waqhubeka eprofeta de waya kufika eNayoti eRama.

24Wazikhulula naye iingubo zakhe, waprofeta kwangokunjalo phambi koSamuweli, walala eze imini yonke, nobusuku bonke. Bathi ke, Ungomnye wabaprofeti noSawule na?
