UDavide wayesethi kumFilisti: “Wena uza kimi nenkemba, nomkhonto, nesihlangu; kepha mina ngiza kuwe egameni likaJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu Sebawoti ka-Israyeli.

Lonke leli bandla liyakwazi ukuthi uJehova akophuli ngenkemba nangomkhonto; ngokuba impi ingekaJehova, uyakuninikela esandleni sethu.

Futhi uDavide wathi: “UJehova owangisindisa esandleni sengonyama nasoshawini lwebhere, nguyena oyangisindisa esandleni salo mFilisti. USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Hamba, njalo uJehova uzakuba lawe.

Namuhla uJehova uyakukunikela esandleni sami; ngiyakukwehlula, ngisuse ikhanda lakho kuwe; ngiyakuzinika namuhla izinyoni zezulu nezilwane zomhlaba izidumbu zebutho lamaFilisti; ukuze umhlaba wonke wazi ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli.

UDavide wayesethi kuSawule: “Makungaphelelwa nhliziyo yamuntu ngenxa yakhe; inceku yakho iyakuhamba, ilwe nalo mFilisti.
