1 Samuweli 18:6-9

Lapho befika, lapho uDavide ebuya ekubulaleni umFilisti, abesifazane baphuma emizini yonke yakwa-Israyeli, behlabelela futhi besina ukuhlangabeza inkosi uSawule ngezigubhu nokujabula nezinsimbi zokubethwa. Abesifazane baphendulana bedlala, bathi: “USawule ubulele izinkulungwane zakhe, uDavide amashumi ezinkulungwane zakhe.” USawuli wathukuthela kakhulu, lelizwi laba libi kuye; uthi: Banika uDavide izinkulungwane eziyishumi, banginika izinkulungwane kuphela; futhi yini angaba nayo ngaphezu kombuso? USawule wambheka uDavide kusukela ngalolo suku kuqhubeke.
