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.”+

15 Ndipo kukoma mtima kwanga kosatha sikudzachoka pa iye monga mmene ndinakuchotsera pa Sauli,+ amene ndinam’chotsa pamaso pako.

22 Atamuchotsa ameneyu,+ anawapatsa Davide monga mfumu yawo.+ Iyeyu Mulungu anamuchitira umboni kuti, ‘Ndapeza Davide mwana wa Jese,+ munthu wapamtima panga.+ Ameneyu adzachita zonse zimene ine ndikufuna.’+
