USawule ukhuluma ngoDavide nokuthi kwakufanele abulawe
1USawuli wasekhuluma kuJonathani indodana yakhe lakuzo zonke inceku zakhe ukuthi babulale uDavida.
2Kodwa uJonathani indodana kaSawule wayejabule kakhulu ngoDavide; uJonathani wamtshela uDavide, wathi: “Ubaba uSawule ufuna ukukubulala;
3Mina-ke ngizaphuma ngime lobaba egangeni lapho okhona, ngikhulume ngawe kubaba; futhi engikubonayo ngizokutshela.
4UJonathani wakhuluma okuhle ngoDavide kuSawule uyise, wathi kuye: “Inkosi mayingoni encekwini yayo uDavide; ngoba akonanga kuwe langenxa yokuthi imisebenzi yakhe yayimihle kakhulu kuwe.
5Wanikela ukuphila kwakhe esandleni sakhe, wambulala umFilisti, uJehova wenza ukusindisa okukhulu ku-Israyeli wonke; wakubona wathokoza; pho, niyakona ngani egazini elingenacala, nibulale uDavide ngeze, na?
6USawuli walilalela ilizwi likaJonathani, uSawuli wafunga wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova, kayikubulawa.
7UJonathani wambiza uDavide, uJonathani wamtshela zonke lezi zinto. UJonathani wamletha uDavide kuSawule, waba phambi kwakhe njengakuqala.
8Kwabuye kwaba khona impi, uDavide waphuma walwa namaFilisti, wawabulala ngokuceka okukhulu; bambalekela.
9Umoya omubi kaJehova waba phezu kukaSawule ehlezi endlini yakhe ephethe umkhonto esandleni sakhe, uDavide ebetha ngesandla sakhe.
10USawule wazama ukumgwaza uDavide odongeni ngomkhonto; kepha washelela ebusweni bukaSawule, wagwaza umkhonto odongeni; uDavide wabaleka, waphunyuka ngalobo busuku.
11USawule wayesethuma izithunywa endlini kaDavide ukuba zimlinde, zimbulale ekuseni; uMikhali umkaDavide wamtshela lokho, wathi: “Uma ungasindisi ukuphila kwakho ngalobu busuku, uyakubulawa kusasa;
12UMikali wayesemehlisa uDavide ngefasitela, wahamba, wabaleka, waphunyuka.
13UMigali wathatha isithombe esibaziweyo, wasibeka embhedeni, wabeka umcamelo woboya bembuzi engutsheni yawo, wasibekela ngendwangu.
14Lapho uSawule ethuma izithunywa ukuba zilande uDavide, yena wathi: “Uyagula.”
15USawule wabuye wathuma izithunywa ukubona uDavide, wathi: “Mletheni kimi embhedeni ukuba ngimbulale.”
16Lapho izithunywa zingena, kwakukhona isithombe embhedeni, nomcamelo woboya bembuzi isembatho saso.
17USawule wayesethi kuMikhali: “Ungikhohliseleni kanje, wamukisa isitha sami, saphunyuka, na? UMikhali wamphendula uSawule, wathi: “Wathi kimi: “Ngiyeke ngihambe; ngikubulaleleni.
18UDavide wayesebaleka, waphunyuka, wafika kuSamuweli eRama, wamtshela konke uSawule abekwenzile kuye. Yena noSamuweli bahamba, bahlala eNajoti.
19Kwabikwa kuSawule, kwathiwa: “Bheka, uDavide useNajoti eRama.”
20USawule wathuma izithunywa ukumlanda uDavide; lapho bebona uquqaba lwabaprofethi beprofetha noSamuweli emi phezu kwabo, uMoya kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kwezithunywa zikaSawule, nazo zaprofetha.
21Kwathi lapho kubikwa kuSawule, wathuma ezinye izithunywa, nazo zaprofetha ngokunjalo. USawule waphinda wathuma izithunywa ngokwesithathu, nazo zaprofetha.
22Naye waya eRama, wafika emthonjeni omkhulu oseSegu; wabuza wathi: “Baphi oSamuweli noDavide na?” Omunye wathi: “Bheka, bakanye noNajoti eRama.”
23Waya khona eNajoti eRama, loMoya kaNkulunkulu laye waba phezu kwakhe, waprofetha waze wafika eNajothi eRama.
24Naye wakhumula izingubo zakhe, waprofetha ngokunjalo phambi kukaSamuweli, walala enqunu usuku lonke nobusuku bonke. Ngakho bathi: Kambe uSawuli laye uphakathi kwabaprofethi yini?
