Kwathi sebefikile, wabona u-Eliyabe, wathi: “Impela ogcotshiweyo kaSimakade uphambi kwakhe.” Kepha uSimakade wathi kuSamuweli: “Ungabheki isigubo sakhe nobude bakhe, ngokuba ngimalile, lokhu uSimakade engabuki njengomuntu; umuntu ubheka okusemehlweni, kodwa uSimakade ubheka okusenhliziyweni.” UJese wayesebiza u-Abhinadaba, wamdlulisa phambi kukaSamuweli.

Wayebomvana, enamehlo amahle, ebukeka kahle. USimakade wathi: “Phakama umgcobe ngokuba nguye lona.” USamuweli wayesethatha uphondo lwamafutha, wamgcoba phakathi kwabafowabo; uMoya kaSimakade wehlela ngamandla phezu kukaDavide, kusukela ngalolo lusuku kuya phambili. Wayesesuka uSamuweli, waya eRama.
