AmaFilisti amsukela ngamandla uSawule noonyana bakhe, waza wafa uSawule

1Kwasilwa amaFilisti namaSirayeli; yaye amadoda akwaSirayeli asaba phambi kwamaFilisti aza awela ebulewe ezintabeni zaseGilibhowa.

2AmaFilisti athana mbende noSawule noonyana bakhe; yaye amaFilisti ambulala uYonatan noAbhinadabhi noMalekishuwa, oonyana bakaSawule.

3Kwaba nzima ukulwa kuSawule; bambetha abatoli, wangxwelerhwa ngabatoli.

4Wathi uSawule kumfana lowo, Rhola ikrele lakho, undibulale ngalo; mhlawumbi abo bantu bangafika bandihleke. Akavuma umphathi weentonga zakhe; ngokuba ebesoyika kunene. uSawule walithabatha ikrele, waziwisa phezu kwalo.

5Uthe umphathi weentonga zakhe, akubona ukuba ufile uSawule, waziwisa phezu kwekrele lakhe, wafa.

6Wafa ke uSawule, noonyana bakhe abathathu, nendlu yakhe yonke;

7Athi onke amadoda akwaSirayeli abesentilini yoMnayile, abona ukuba asabile, ukuba ufile uSawule noonyana bakhe, ayishiya imizi yawo, asaba; namaFilisti aya kwakha kuyo.

8Kwathi ngengomso amaFilisti eza kubhunyula ababuleweyo, amfumana uSawule noonyana bakhe bewile ezintabeni zeGilibhowa.

9Emva kokuba amhlube, athabatha intloko yakhe nezikrweqe zakhe aza athumela kwilizwe lamaFilisti ngeenxa zonke ukuba axele imifanekiso yawo eqingqiweyo nasebantwini ezo ndaba.

10Azibeka iintonga zakhe endlwini yothixo wawo, ukanti intloko yakhe ayibeka endlwini kaDagon.

11Beva bonke abaseYabheshe eGiliyadi konke abekwenzile amaFilisti kuSawule.

12Agqiba ke onke amadoda anobukroti, awuthabatha umzimba kaSawule, nezidumbu zoonyana bakhe, azizisa eYabheshe, awangcwabela amathambo abo phantsi komthi wetalanti eYabheshe, azila ukudla iintsuku zasixhenxe.

13Wafa ke uSawule ngenxa yokuvukela kwakhe uYehova, enxamnye nelizwi likaYehova angaligcinanga, nangenxa yokuba wacela icebiso kumntu onomoya owaziwayo owathi wambuza;

14Akamcela uYehova; wambulala ke, wabunika uDavide, unyana kaYese, ubukumkani.
