16 Ekugcineni, Jehova watsi kuSamuweli: “Kutawuze kube ngunini solo ukhalela Sawula+ ngobe ngimalile kutsi abe yinkhosi yema-Israyeli?+ Gcwalisa luphondvo lwakho ngemafutsa+ uhambe. Ngitakutfuma kuJese+ waseBhetlehema ngobe ngikhetse yinye yemadvodzana akhe kutsi ibe yinkhosi.”+

13 Ngako Samuweli watsatsa loluphondvo lolunemafutsa+ wagcoba Davide embikwabomnakabo. Kusukela ngalelolanga umoya waJehova wehlela kuye.+ Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi Samuweli wahamba waya eRama.+

10 Leti tinhloko temasotja aDavide langemachawe letamsekela kakhulu ebukhosini bakhe kanye nawo onkhe ema-Israyeli kuze timbeke abe yinkhosi njengobe Jehova bekakhulumile mayelana nema-Israyeli.+
