16 Ekucineni uJehova wathi kuSamuyeli: “Kuzaze kube nini ulokhu ulilela uSawuli,+ njengoba ngingasafuni ukuthi aqhubeke eyinkosi yabako-Israyeli?+ Gcwalisa uphondo lwakho ngamafutha+ ngikuthume. Hamba kuJese+ waseBhethilehema ngoba sengikhethe inkosi phakathi kwamadodana akhe.”+

39 UZadokhi umphristi wathatha uphondo lwamafutha+ etendeni+ wagcoba uSolomoni.+ Basebetshaya uphondo, abantu bonke baqalisa ukumemeza besithi: “Kayibe lempilo ende iNkosi uSolomoni!”
