Abantu bambikela uDavide, bathi: “Bheka, amaFilisti alwa neKheyila, aphanga izibuya.” UDavide wabuza kuSimakade, wathi: “Ngihambe yini ngiyowabulala lawo maFilisti na?” USimakade wathi kuDavide: “Hamba uwabulale amaFilisti, usindise iKheyila.” Abantu bakaDavide bathi kuye: “Uyabona-ke, siyesaba lapha kwaJuda; kangakanani-ke uma sesiya eKheyila, silwe namabutho amaFilisti na?” UDavide waphinda wabuza kuSimakade. USimakade wamphendula wathi: “Suka wehlele eKheyila, ngokuba amaFilisti ngizowanikela esandleni sakho.” UDavide namabutho akhe baya eKheyila, balwa namaFilisti, badla izinkomo zawo, bawashaya bawaqothula. Wayesezihlenga uDavide izakhamuzi zaseKheyila.
