21 UJoshuwa uzakuma phambi kuka-Eliyazari umphristi, yena ozambuzela izinqumo zokwahlulela nge-Urimi+ phambi kukaJehova. Ngomlayo wakhe bazaphuma futhi ngomlayo wakhe bazangena, yena labo bonke abako-Israyeli, bonke nje abantu.”

28 UFiniyasi+ indodana ka-Eliyazari indodana ka-Aroni nguye owayekhonza* phambi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano ngalezonsuku. Ngakho babuza bathi: “Sihambe yini siyekulwa labafowethu bakoBhenjamini kumbe siyekele?”+ UJehova wasephendula wathi: “Hambani ngoba kusasa ngizabanikela esandleni senu.”

2 Ngakho uDavida wabuza uJehova wathi:+ “Ngihambe yini ngiyehlasela amaFilisti?” UJehova wamphendula wathi: “Hamba uyewahlasela ukhulule abantu baseKheyila.”

11 Abakhokheli beKheyila bazanginikela* esandleni sakhe yini? USawuli uzabuya yini njengoba nje inceku yakho izwile? Awu Jehova Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngicela uyitshele inceku yakho.” UJehova wasemphendula wathi: “Ye uzabuya.”

6 USawuli wayebuza kuJehova+ kodwa uJehova wayengamphenduli. Kazange amphendule ngamaphupho loba nge-Urimi+ kumbe ngabaphrofethi.
