39 UMosi wathi etshela bonke abantu bako-Israyeli amazwi la baqalisa ukukhala kakhulu. 40 Kanti njalo bavuka ekuseni kakhulu bazama ukuya esiqongweni sentaba bathi: “Sonile, kodwa khathesi sesizimisele ukuya endaweni uJehova akhulume ngayo.”+ 41 UMosi wabaphendula wathi: “Kungani lisephula umthetho kaJehova? Elikwenzayo akusoze kuphumelele. 42 Lingahambi ngoba uJehova kakho phakathi kwenu futhi lizanqotshwa yizitha zenu.+ 43 Ama-Amaleki lamaKhenani alilindele ukuze alihlasele+ njalo lizabulawa ngenkemba. UJehova kasoze abe lani ngoba limhlamukele uJehova.”+

44 Lanxa kunjalo baqinisa amakhanda bakhwela entabeni+ kodwa ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaJehova alizange lisuke phakathi laphakathi kwezihonqo futhi loMosi kasukanga.+ 45 Ama-Amaleki lamaKhenani ayehlala kuleyontaba asesehla abahlasela njalo abaxotshanisa basabalala baze bayafika eHoma.+
