Lapho amazwi kaDavide ezwakala, azwakala phambi kukaSawule, wathumela ukuba abizwe. UDavide wayesethi kuSawule: “Makungaphelelwa nhliziyo yamuntu ngenxa yakhe; inceku yakho iyakuhamba, ilwe nalo mFilisti. USawule wayesethi kuDavide: “Awunakwenyuka ukulwa nalo mFilisti, ngokuba wena uyinsizwa, kepha yena uyindoda yempi kwasebusheni bakhe. UDavide wayesethi kuSawule: “Inceku yakho yayiluse izimvu zikayise, kwafika ingonyama nebhere, zathatha imvu emhlambini; Ngaphuma ngiyilandela, ngayishaya, ngayisindisa emlonyeni wayo; lapho ingivukela, ngayibamba ngentshebe ngayishaya ngayibulala. Inceku yakho ibulele kokubili ingonyama nebhere, futhi lo mFilisti ongasokile uyakuba njengenye yazo, ngoba udelele amabutho kaNkulunkulu ophilayo. Futhi uDavide wathi: “UJehova owangisindisa esandleni sengonyama nasoshawini lwebhere, nguyena oyangisindisa esandleni salo mFilisti. USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Hamba, njalo uJehova uzakuba lawe.
