1 Samuweli 17:45-50

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.
