17 USamuyeli wathi ebona uSawuli, uJehova wathi kuye: “Nansi indoda ebengikutshela ngayo ngisithi, ‘Yiyo ezabusa abantu bami.’”+

24 USamuyeli wakhuluma labantu bonke wathi: “Liyambona yini lowo okhethwe nguJehova?+ Kakho onjengaye phakathi kwabo bonke abantu.” Bonke bamemeza bathi: “Kayibe lempilo ende inkosi!”

12 Wathuma umuntu ukuthi ayembiza, wasebuya laye. Wayemuhle,+ ebomvana futhi elamehlo amahle. UJehova wasesithi kuSamuyeli: “Sukuma umgcobe ngoba nguye engimkhethileyo!”+ 13 Ngakho uSamuyeli wathatha uphondo lwamafutha+ wamgcoba phambi kwabafowabo. Kusukela ngalelolanga umoya kaJehova waqalisa ukusebenza kuDavida umupha amandla.+ Ngemva kwesikhathi uSamuyeli wasuka waya eRama.+
