14 UJehova wasesithi kuMosi: “Bhala lokhu ebhukwini kube yisikhumbuzo uphinde ukutshele uJoshuwa uthi, ‘Ngizawaqeda wonke ama-Amaleki njalo awasoze aphinde akhunjulwe ngaphansi kwamazulu.’”+

47 USawuli wawuqinisa umbuso wakhe kulo lonke elako-Israyeli futhi walwa lezitha zonke ezazimgombolozele. Walwa lamaMowabi,+ lama-Amoni,+ labako-Edomi,+ lamakhosi eZobha+ kanye lamaFilisti.+ Wayenqoba zonke izizwe ayesilwa lazo. 48 Waba lesibindi walwa lama-Amaleki+ wawanqoba, wakhulula abako-Israyeli kulabo ababebathwalise nzima.

15 USamuyeli wasesithi kuSawuli: “UJehova wangithuma ukuthi ngikugcobe ube yinkosi yabantu bakhe bako-Israyeli.+ Ngakho lalela lokho okutshiwo nguJehova.+ 2 Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova wamabutho: ‘Ngizajezisa ama-Amaleki ngenxa yalokho akwenzayo kwabako-Israyeli. Alwa labo ngesikhathi besendleleni bephuma eGibhithe.+ 3 Yikho hamba uyehlasela ama-Amaleki+ uwatshabalalise+ lakho konke okungokwawo. Uwabulale wonke+ ungatshiyi loyedwa.* Ubulale amadoda labesifazana, abantwana lensane, inkomo lezimvu, amakamela kanye labobabhemi.’”+

42 Amanye amadoda akoSimiyoni angu-500 aya entabeni iSeyiri+ ekhokhelwa nguPhelathiya, loNeyariya, loRefaya, lo-Uziyeli, amadodana ka-Ishi. 43 Babulala ama-Amaleki+ ayebaleke azohlala lapho, basebehlala khona. Balokhu belapho kuze kube lamuhla.
