Kwathi emva kokufa kukaSawule, uDavide esebuyile ekubulaleni ama-Amaleki, wahlala izinsuku ezimbili eZikilagi. Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu, kwafika indoda iphuma enkanjini kaSawule, igqoke izingubo ezidabukile, inothuli ekhanda. Yathi lapho ifika kuDavide yawela emhlabathini, yakhothama yathi mbo ngobuso. UDavide wathi kuyo: “Uvela kuphi na?” Yathi kuye: “Ngiphunyuke enkanjini yakwa-Israyeli.” UDavide wathi kuyo: “Bekuhamba kanjani? Ake ungitshele.” Yaphendula yathi: “Abantu babalekile empini, futhi abaningi bafile; uSawule noJonathani, indodana yakhe, nabo bafile.” UDavide wathi kuleyo nsizwa eyayimbikela: “Wazi kanjani ukuthi uSawule nendodana yakhe bafile na?” Insizwa eyambikelayo yathi: “Ngithe ngisentabeni iGilibhowa, ngaleso sikhathi uSawule wancika emkhontweni, ngokuba izinqola nabamahhashi babemxine kakhulu. Waphenduka wabheka emuva wangibona, wangibiza. Ngaphendula ngathi: ‘Ngilapha.’ “Wathi kimi: ‘Ungubani na?’ “Ngathi kuye: ‘NgingumAmaleki.’ “Wathi kimi: ‘Ake ume ngakimi, ungibulale, ngokuba ngiphethwe yisiyezi, nakuba ngisaphila.’ “Ngase ngima ngakuye, ngambulala, ngokuba ngangazi ukuthi ngeke esaphila uma esewile, ngawuthatha umqhele owawusekhanda lakhe, nesongo elalisengalweni yakhe, ngase ngikuletha lapha enkosini yami.” UDavide wabamba izingubo zakhe waziklebhula, enza kanjalo namadoda wonke ayenaye. Balila, bakhala, bazila kwaze kwahlwa ngenxa kaSawule noJonathani, indodana yakhe, nabantu bakaSimakade, nendlu ka-Israyeli, ngokuba babebulewe ngenkemba. UDavide wathi ensizweni eyambikelayo: “Ungowaphi, na?” Yamphendula yathi: “Ngiyindodana yomuntu ogogobele nje, umAmaleki.” UDavide wathi kuyo: “Yini ekwenze ungesabi ukuphakamisa isandla sakho ubulale ogcotshiweyo kaSimakade na?” UDavide wabiza enye yezinsizwa, wathi: “Sondela, khwela phezu kwakhe.” Yayishaya yaze yafa. UDavide wathi kuyo: “Igazi lakho malibe phezu kwekhanda lakho, ngokuba umlomo wakho ufakazile ngawe, lapho uthi: ‘Ngibulele ogcotshiweyo kaSimakade.’ ” UDavide wamlilela uSawule noJonathani, indodana yakhe, ngaleli culo. Wayaleza ukuba iCulo Lomnsalo lifundiswe abakwaJuda; libhalwe eNcwadini kaJashari. Wathi

Kwathi emva kokufa kukaSawule, uDavide ebuyile ekubulaleni ama-Amaleki, uDavide wahlala izinsuku ezimbili eZikilagi; Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu kwaphuma umuntu ekamu, izingubo zikaSawule eziklebhukile, enothuli ekhanda lakhe; lapho efika kuDavide, wawa phansi, wakhuleka. UDavida wasesithi kuye: Uvela ngaphi? Wathi kuye: “Ngiphunyukile ekamu lika-Israyeli.” UDavida wasesithi kuye: Kwenze njani? ngiyakuncenga, ungitshele. Futhi waphendula: Ukuthi abantu babaleka empini, futhi futhi abaningi babantu bawa futhi bafa; noSawule noJonathani indodana yakhe bafa. UDavida wasesithi kuyo ijaha elamtshelayo: Wazi ngani ukuthi uSawuli loJonathani indodana yakhe bafile? Ijaha elamtshela lathi: “Ngathi ngifika entabeni yaseGilibowa, bheka, uSawule wayeme ngomkhonto wakhe; bheka, izinqola nabamahhashi bamxosha kanzima. Wathi ebheka emva kwakhe, wangibona, wangibiza; Futhi ngiyaphendula: Nangu mina. Yasisithi kimi: Ungubani? Ngathi kuye: “NgingumAmaleki.” Wabuye wathi kimi: “Yima phezu kwami, ungibulale, ngokuba usizi lungehlele, ngokuba umphefumulo wami usaphelele kimi.” Ngema phezu kwakhe, ngambulala, ngokuba ngangazi ukuthi akayikuphila emva kokuwa kwakhe; ngase ngithatha umqhele owawusekhanda lakhe nesongo elisengalweni yakhe ngakuletha lapha enkosini yami. UDavide wathatha izingubo zakhe, waziklebhula; kanjalo nawo onke amadoda aye naye. Balila, bakhala, bazila ukudla kwaze kwahlwa ngenxa kaSawule, nangenxa kaJonathani indodana yakhe, naphezu kwabantu bakaJehova, naphezu kwendlu yakwa-Israyeli; ngoba bawa ngenkemba. UDavide wayesethi kuyo insizwa eyamtshelayo: “Ungowaphi na? Wathi: “Ngiyindodana yomfokazi, umAmaleki.” UDavide wayesethi kuye: “Awuzange wesabe kanjani ukwelula isandla sakho ukubhubhisa ogcotshiweyo weNkosi na? UDavida wasebiza enye yezinsizwa, wathi: Sondela umhlasele. Futhi wamshaya waze wafa. UDavida wasesithi kuye: Igazi lakho liphezu kwekhanda lakho; ngoba umlomo wakho ufakazile ngawe, wathi: Mina ngibulele ogcotshiweyo weNkosi. UDavide walilela ngalesi sililo ngoSawule nangoJonathani indodana yakhe. (Futhi wabayala ukuba bafundise abantwana bakwaJuda ukusebenzisa umnsalo; bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini kaJasheri.)
