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.

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.+
