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.
USawule wagqokisa uDavide izikhali zakhe, wafaka isigqoko sethusi ekhanda lakhe; wabuye wahloma ngesikhali.
UDavide wabhinca inkemba yakhe empahleni yakhe, wazama ukuhamba; ngoba akazange akufakazele. UDavide wayesethi kuSawule: “Anginakuhamba nawo; ngoba kangibalinganga. UDavide wawasusa kuye.
Waphatha udondolo lwakhe esandleni sakhe, wazikhethela amatshe ayisihlanu abushelezi emfudlaneni, wawafaka esikhwameni esikhwameni somalusi ayenaso; indwayimane yakhe yayisesandleni sakhe, wasondela kumFilisti.
UmFilisti wasesiza, wasondela kuDavida; indoda ephethe isihlangu yaphuma phambi kwakhe.
UmFilisti waqalaza, wabona uDavide, wameyisa, ngokuba engumfana ebomvana, emuhle ebusweni.
UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Ngiyinja yini ukuthi uze kimi uphethe izinduku? UmFilisti wamthuka uDavide ngonkulunkulu bakhe.
UmFilisti wathi kuDavide: “Woza kimi, nginike izinyoni zezulu nezilwane zasendle inyama yakho.”
UDavide wayesethi kumFilisti: “Wena uza kimi nenkemba, nomkhonto, nesihlangu; kepha mina ngiza kuwe egameni likaJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu Sebawoti ka-Israyeli.
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.
Lonke leli bandla liyakwazi ukuthi uJehova akophuli ngenkemba nangomkhonto; ngokuba impi ingekaJehova, uyakuninikela esandleni sethu.
Kwathi umFilisti eseqedile ukuhlangana loDavida, uDavida waphangisa wagijimela empini ukumhlangabeza umFilisti.
UDavide wafaka isandla sakhe ekhukhwini lakhe, wakhipha itshe khona, walijikijela, wamshaya umFilisti ebunzini, itshe lashona ebunzini lakhe; wawa ngobuso emhlabathini.
UDavide wamnqoba umFilisti ngendwayimana nangetshe, wamshaya umFilisti, wambulala; kodwa kwakungekho nkemba esandleni sikaDavide.
Ngakho uDavida wagijima wema eduze lomFilisti, wathatha inkemba yakhe, wayihotsha emgodleni wayo, wambulala, wamquma ikhanda ngayo. Lapho amaFilisti ebona ukuthi iqhawe lawo lifile, abaleka.
