Ukunqoba kokuqala kukaSawule
1Wayesekhuphuka uNahashi, umAmoni, wamisa malungana neJabeshi kwaGileyadi; onke amadoda aseJabeshi athi kuNahashi: Yenza isivumelwano nathi, sikukhonze.
2UNahashi wakwa-Amoni waphendula wathi kubo: “Ngalokho ngiyakwenza isivumelwano nani, ukuze ngikhiphe wonke amehlo enu okunene, ngiwabeke phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke abe yihlazo.
3Amalunga aseJabeshi athi kuye: “Siyeke izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, sithume izithunywa emikhawulweni yonke yakwa-Israyeli; khona-ke, uma kungekho osikhululayo, siyakuphumela kuwe.
4Izithunywa zafika eGibeya likaSawule, zamemezela lezi zindaba ezindlebeni zabantu, futhi bonke abantu baphakamisa amazwi abo bakhala inyembezi.
5Bheka, uSawule waphuma endle elandela izinkomo; USawuli wasesithi: Kuyini abantu ukuthi bakhale? Bamtshela izindaba zamadoda aseJabeshi.
6UMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kukaSawule lapho ezwa lezi zindaba, intukuthelo yakhe yavutha kakhulu.
7Wathatha izinkabi, wazihlahlela, wazithuma ngesandla sezithunywa kuwo wonke umkhawulo wakwa-Israyeli, wathi: “Ongaphumi ukulandela uSawule noSamuweli, kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kuzo izinkabi zakhe.” Ukwesaba uJehova kwehlela phezu kwabantu, baphuma nganhliziyonye.
8Wababala eBezeki, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babe yizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu, namadoda akwaJuda ayeyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu.
9Basebesithi kuzo izithunywa ezafikayo: Lizakutsho njalo emadodeni eJabeshi eGileyadi: Kusasa ekutshiseni kwelanga lizaba losizo. Zafika izithunywa, zabatshela amadoda aseJabeshi; futhi bajabula.
10Ngakho abantu baseJabeshi bathi: “Kusasa siyakuphumela kini, nenze kithi konke okuhle emehlweni enu.”
11Kwathi ngangomuso uSawule wabahlukanisa abantu baba izingxenye ezintathu; bangena phakathi kwempi ngomlindo wokusa, babulala ama-Amoni kwaze kwashisa ilanga.
12Abantu bathi kuSamuweli: “Ngubani owathi: ‘USawule uyakubusa phezu kwethu na? lethani amadoda, ukuze siwabulale.
13USawuli wasesithi: Kakungabulawa muntu lamuhla, ngoba lamuhla iN kosi iyenzele uIsrayeli insindiso.
14USamuweli wasesithi ebantwini: Wozani siye eGiligali, sivuse umbuso khona.
15Bonke abantu baya eGiligali; bambeka khona uSawule inkosi eGiligali phambi kukaJehova; banikela khona imihlatshelo yokubonga phambi kukaJehova; uSawule nawo wonke amadoda akwa-Israyeli bajabula kakhulu lapho.
