6 Davida ne bantu bakwabo byo bafumine na kwipaya bena Filishitiya, banabakazhi baishile na kutundaila Mfumu Saulo kufuma mu mizhi yonse ya bena Isalela saka bemba+ ne kuzha ne kusangalala, saka bajizha minsakayi+ ne masense. 7 Banabakazhi basekejilenga ne kwimba’mba:

8 Saulo wazhingijile bingi,+ ne uno lwimbo wamufichishe ku muchima, mambo waambile’mba: “Davida bamutakaika na makumi a biumbi, pakuba amiwa bantakaikatu na biumbi. Kwashalatu kumupa bufumu!”+ 9 Kufumatu jonkaja juba, Saulo watajilenga Davida na kichima.

10 Juba jalondejilepo Lesa waswishishe mupashi watama kwiya pe Saulo,+ kabiji watwelele mu nzubo ne kutendeka kuba bintu nobe mukonye,* kimye Davida kyo aimbilenga nyimbo na kyansa+ byonka byo aubanga bimye bikwabo. Saulo watolele jifumo,+ 11 kabiji watayile jifumo+ saka amba’mba: ‘Nsakumwasa Davida alamachile ne ku lubumbulu!’ Bino Davida wapulukile kwi aye jibiji. 12 Saulo wamuchiinenga Davida mambo Yehoba wajinga nanji,+ pakuba kwi Saulo wafumineko.+ 13 Onkao mambo, Saulo wamufumisheko ko aingijilanga kwipi ne aye ne kumutongola kwikala mukulumpe wa kiumbi, kabiji Davida watangijilanga nzhita pa kuya ku nkondo.*+ 14 Davida watwajijile kuba bulongo*+ mu byonse byo aubanga, kabiji Yehoba wajinga nanji.+ 15 Kabiji Saulo byo amwene’mba ubena kuba bulongo, wamuchiinenga. 16 Bino bena Isalela bonse ne bena Yuda batemenwe Davida, mambo wibatangijilanga pa kuya ku makondo abo.

17 Mu kuya kwa moba Saulo waambijile Davida amba: “Tala, mwanami wa mukazhi mukulumpe aye Melaba.+ Nsakukupaye umusongole.+ Pano bino, wafwainwa kutwajijila kuchinchika ne kulwa makondo a Yehoba.”+ Mambo Saulo waambilenga mu muchima amba: ‘Amiwa kechi nkamwipaye ne. Bena Filishitiya bo bakamwipaya.’+ 18 Ponkapo Davida waambijile Saulo amba: “Yami ñanyi, kabiji balongo bami, ba mu kisemi kya batata bo bañanyi mu Isalela, kya kuba’mba ngikale muko wa mfumu?”+ 19 Nangwa byonkabyo, kimye byo kyafikile kya kupana Melaba mwana wa kwa Saulo kwi Davida, wataaine bamusongwesha kala kwi Aduliela+ mwina Mehola.

20 Bino Mikala,+ mwana wa mukazhi wa kwa Saulo, wamutemenwe Davida, kabiji Saulo bamubuujile, ne aye watemenwe. 21 Kepo Saulo aambile’mba: “Nsakumupaye ekale kitewa kwi aye, pa kuba’mba bena Filishitiya bakamwipaye.”+ Kepo Saulo abuujile Davida ja bubiji amba: “Usakwikala muko wami lelo.” 22 Kabiji Saulo wakambizhe bakalume banji amba: “Mwisambe ne Davida ku mbaji ne kumubuula’mba, ‘Umvwa! Mfumu wakutemwa, ne bakalume banji bonse bakutemwa. Onkao mambo, songola mwana mfumu.’” 23 Bakalume ba kwa Saulo byo bamubuujile Davida bino bintu, Davida wibashikishe’mba: “Nanchi mubena kulanguluka’mba kyapela kusongola mwana mfumu amiwa muyanji kabiji wabula kunema nyi?”+ 24 Kepo bakalume ba kwa Saulo bamubuujile’mba: “Abino byo byambo byaji kwamba Davida.”

25 Ponkapo Saulo waambile’mba: “Mwafwainwa kumubuula Davida amba, ‘Mfumu kechi ubena kukeba mali a masongola ne,+ ubena kukebatu tulomolomo 100+ twa bena Filishitiya, pa kuba’mba ashinkanye na balwanyi ba mfumu.’” Mambo Saulo wakebelenga amba Davida bakamwipaye ku bena Filishitiya. 26 Byonkabyo, bakalume banji bamubuujile Davida bino byambo, kabiji kino kyamutokejile ku muchima Davida kusongola mwana mfumu.+ Kimye kyo batongwele saka kikyangye kufika, 27 Davida wayile na bantu banji ne kwipaya banabalume bena Filishitiya 200, kabiji Davida waletele tulomolomo tonse kwi mfumu kuba’mba asongole mwana mfumu. Onkao mambo, Saulo wamupele Mikala mwananji wa mukazhi kwikala mukazhanji.+ 28 Saulo wayukile’mba Yehoba uji ne Davida+ ne kuba’mba mwananji Mikala wamutemwa.+ 29 Kino kyalengejile Saulo kumuchiina bingi Davida, kabiji Saulo waikele ke mulwanyi wa kwa Davida mu moba onse a bumi bwanji.+

30 Babinemanga ba bena Filishitiya bayanga na kulwa nkondo, bino kimye kyonse kyo bayanga, Davida wibashindanga* kukila bakalume bonse ba kwa Saulo;+ kabiji jizhina janji jayile bingi nkuwa.+
