16 UJehova waphendula uMosi wathi: “Ngibuthela amadoda ama-70 hlangana nabadala bakwa-Israyeli, amadoda owaziko bona abadala neenkhulu+ ezizokukghona ukwenza umsebenzi lo, uze nawo etendeni lokuhlangana begodu ujame nawo. 17 Ngizokwehla+ ngizokukhuluma nani lapho,+ ngizokuthatha omunye ummoya kuwe+ ngiwubeke kibo. Bazokusiza ngokutlhogomela abantwaba ukwenzela bona ungasawuthwali wedwa umthwalo lo.+

34 Ummoya kaJehova wehlela kuGidiyoni*+ begodu wavuthela iphondo,+ ama-Abiyezeri+ eza kuye bona amsekele.

29 Ummoya kaJehova weza phezu kwakaJafta, uJafta+ wadlula eGiliyadi nakwaManase bona atjhinge eMitsiphe yeGiliyadi, wasuka eMitsiphe yeGiliyadi+ waraga watjhinga kuma-Amoni.

5 Yeke uSamsoni, uyise nonina behlela eTimna. Kwathi nakafika esimini yamadiribe yeTimna, ibhubezi* leza kuye libhodla. 6 Ummoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kwakhe,+ walihlukanisa phakathi njengalokha othileko ahlukanisa imbuzana phakathi ngezandla zakhe. Kodwana akhenge atjele uyise nonina bona wenzeni.

14 Kwathi nakafika eLerhi, amaFilista arhuwelela athabile nawahlangana naye. Ummoya kaJehova wamupha amandla,+ iintambo ebezisezandleni zakhe zaba njengerhara yelineni erhatjulwe mlilo begodu amakhamandela asezandleni zakhe ancibilika.+

6 USawula nakezwa amezwi la, ummoya kaZimu wamupha amandla,+ wasilingeka khulu.

13 USamyela wathatha iphondo lamafutha+ wamzesa phambi kwabafowabo. Ummoya kaJehova wathoma ukupha uDavida amandla kusukela mhlokho ukuya phambili.+ Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi uSamyela wasikima watjhinga eRama.+

15 Nje-ke ummoya kaZimu waba phezu kwaka-Azariya indodana ka-Odedi.
