31 Ŵafilisiti ŵakarwanga nkhondo na Israyeli.+ Ŵaisrayeli ŵakachimbira pamaso pa Ŵafilisiti, ndipo ŵanandi ŵakakomekera pa Phiri la Gilibowa.+ 2 Ŵafilisiti ŵakaskera Sauli na ŵana ŵake. Ŵafilisiti ŵakakoma Yonatani,+ Abinadabu, na Maliki-shuwa, ŵana ŵa Sauli.+ 3 Nkhondo yikamukulira Sauli, ndipo ŵakuponya mivi ŵakamusanga, wakapwetekeka chomene na ŵanthu ŵakuponya mivi.+ 4 Ntheura Sauli wakati kwa wakuyegha vilwero: “Solora lupanga lwako unigwaze nalo, kuti ŵanthu ŵambura kukotoleka+ aŵa ŵaleke kwiza na kunigwaza kweniso kunichitira nkhaza.” Kweni wakuyegha vilwero wakakana, chifukwa wakawopa chomene. Penepapo Sauli wakatora lupanga na kuwirapo.+ 5 Wakuyegha vilwero wakati wawona kuti Sauli wafwa,+ nayo wakawira pa lupanga lwake na kufwira nayo pamoza. 6 Ndimo Sauli, ŵana ŵake ŵatatu, wakuyegha vilwero, na ŵanthu ŵake wose ŵakafwira pamoza zuŵa lira.+ 7 Ŵaisrayeli wose awo ŵakakhalanga mu dambo* na mu chigaŵa cha Yorodani ŵakati ŵawona kuti Ŵaisrayeli ŵachimbira, kweniso kuti Sauli na ŵana ŵake ŵafwa, ŵakasida misumba yawo na kuchimbira.+ Penepapo Ŵafilisiti ŵakiza na kukhalamo.

Ŵakatuma mazgu mu charu chose cha Ŵafilisiti kuti ŵaphare makani+ agha ku nyumba* za ŵangoza ŵawo+ na ku ŵanthu. 10 Ŵakaŵika vyankhondo vyake mu nyumba ya vikozgo vya Ashitoreti, ŵakapayika chitanda chake pa chiliŵa cha Beti-shani.+ 11 Ŵanthu ŵa ku Yabeshi-giliyadi+ ŵakati ŵapulika ivyo Ŵafilisiti ŵakachitira Sauli, 12 vinkhara vyose vikawuka na kwenda usiku wose, vikatora chitanda cha Sauli na vitanda vya ŵana ŵake kuvifumiskapo pa chiliŵa cha Beti-shani. Ŵakiza navyo ku Yabeshi na kuviwotcha kwenekura. 13 Ŵakatora viwangwa vyawo+ na kuvisunga musi mwa khuni la tamarisiki ku Yabeshi,+ ndipo ŵakaziŵizga kurya mazuŵa 7.
