10 Intonga yobukhosi ayisoze isuke kuJuda;+ lenduku yombusi ayisoze isuke phakathi kwezinyawo zakhe kuze kufike uShilo*+ njalo izizwe zonke zizamlalela.+

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.”+

30 UJehova uzathi eseyenzele inkosi yami zonke izinto ezinhle azithembisayo futhi eseyibeke yaba ngumkhokheli wabako-Israyeli,+

21 UDavida waphendula uMikhali wathi: “Mina bengithokoza phambi kukaJehova owalahla uyihlo labo bonke abendlu yakhe wakhetha mina, wangibeka ukuthi ngibe ngumkhokheli wabantu bakaJehova, abantu bako-Israyeli.+ Yikho angisoze ngiyekele ukuthokoza phambi kukaJehova,

8 Ngakho tshela inceku yami uDavida uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova wamabutho: “Ngakuthatha emadlelweni uselusa izimvu+ ukuze ube ngumkhokheli wabantu bami bako-Israyeli.+

4 Lanxa kunjalo uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wakhetha mina phakathi kwabo bonke abemuli kababa, wangibeka ukuthi ngibe yinkosi phezu kwabako-Israyeli kuze kube nini lanini.+ Wakhetha uJuda ukuthi abe ngumkhokheli+ futhi kwabendlu kaJuda wakhetha imuli kababa,+ kwathi emadodaneni kababa wakhetha mina wangenza ngaba yinkosi phezu kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli.+

Wambeka phezu kuka-Israyeli olilifa lakhe.+
