14 Kodwa khathesi umbuso wakho awusoze uhlale isikhathi eside.+ UJehova uzadinga umuntu othokozisa inhliziyo yakhe+ njalo uJehova uzambeka ukuthi abe ngumkhokheli wabantu bakhe,+ ngoba wena awuzange ulalele lokho uJehova akutshele khona.”+

27 USamuyeli wathi esetshibilika esehamba, uSawuli wabamba umphetho wejazi lakhe elingelamikhono laselidabuka. 28 USamuyeli wasesithi kuye: “Lamuhla uJehova usewudabule umbuso wako-Israyeli wawususa kuwe, uzawunika omunye wabantu bakini ongcono kulawe.+

13 Ngakho uSamuyeli wathatha uphondo lwamafutha+ wamgcoba phambi kwabafowabo. Kusukela ngalelolanga umoya kaJehova waqalisa ukusebenza kuDavida umupha amandla.+ Ngemva kwesikhathi uSamuyeli wasuka waya eRama.+

31 Nxa indodana kaJese isaphila, wena awusoze uvikeleke futhi lombuso wakho ngeke ume uqine.+ Yikho thuma umuntu khathesi ayemthatha amlethe lapha ngoba kumele afe.”+

17 Wasesithi kuDavida: “Ulungile kulami ngoba ungiphathe kuhle kodwa mina ngikubuyisela ngokubi.+

20 Khathesi sengikwazi ukuthi uzakuba yinkosi loba sekutheni+ lokuthi umbuso wako-Israyeli uzaqhubeka usesandleni sakho kokuphela.
