26 Njengoko uSawule wayekweli cala lentaba, uDavide namadoda akhe babekwelinye icala. UDavide wanyusa isantya ukuze amshiye+ uSawule, kodwa uSawule namadoda akhe babethe nca emva kwakhe sele beza kumfumana, bambambe.+ 27 Kodwa kwafika umthunywa kuSawule, esithi: “Khawuleza ubuye, kuba amaFilisti alihlasele ilizwe!” 28 Wayeka ke uSawule ukuleqa uDavide+ waza wayokulwa namaFilisti. Yiloo nto ke loo ndawo kwathiwa liLiwa Lezahlulo.

21 Emva kokuba emkile loo madoda, uAhimahatse noYonatan baphuma equleni, bahamba bayokuxelela uKumkani uDavide. Bathi kuye: “Vukani nize ngokukhawuleza niwele emanzini, kuba uAhitofele ucebise wathi ngani.”+ 22 Ngoko nangoko uDavide nabantu bonke ababekunye naye, baphakama baza bayiwela iYordan. Kuthe kusisa, kwabe kungekho mntu ungayiwelanga iYordan.
