16 Patapita nthawi, Yehova anauza Samueli kuti: “Kodi ulirira Sauli+ mpaka liti, pamene ine ndamukana kuti alamulire monga mfumu ya Isiraeli?+ Thira mafuta m’nyanga yako+ ndipo unyamuke. Ndikutumiza kwa Jese+ wa ku Betelehemu, chifukwa ndapeza munthu pakati pa ana ake aamuna woti akhale mfumu yanga.”+

13 Choncho Samueli anatenga nyanga ya mafuta+ ndi kum’dzoza pakati pa abale ake. Zitatero, mzimu wa Yehova unayamba kugwira ntchito pa Davide kuyambira tsiku limenelo mpaka m’tsogolo.+ Kenako Samueli ananyamuka kupita ku Rama.+

8 Sauli atamva zimenezi anakwiya kwambiri+ ndipo mawu amenewa anamuipira, moti anayamba kuganiza kuti: “Davide amupatsa masauzande makumimakumi, koma ine angondipatsa masauzande okha. Ndiye kuti kwangotsala kum’patsa ufumuwu basi!”+
