²USawuli lamadoda akoIsrayeli basebebuthana bamisa inkamba esigodini seEla, bahlela impi ukumelana lamaFilisti.

³AmaFilisti ayemi ngalapha kwentaba, u-Israyeli emi ngakolunye uhlangothi lwentaba, kukhona isigodi phakathi kwawo.

⁴Kwaphuma iqhawe ekamu lamaFilisti, igama likaGoliyati waseGati, obude bakhe buyizingalo eziyisithupha nobubanzi besandla.

⁵Wayenesigqoko sethusi ekhanda lakhe, ebhince isihlangu sesifuba; isisindo sengubo sasingamashekeli ayizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu ethusi.

⁶Wayenezitsha zethusi emilenzeni yakhe nesinqe sethusi phakathi kwamahlombe akhe.

⁷Udondolo lomkhonto wakhe lwalunjengogongolo lomaluki; ikhanda lomkhonto wakhe lalingamashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha ensimbi, nophethe isihlangu waphuma phambi kwakhe.

⁸Wema, wabiza amabutho akoIsrayeli, wathi kuwo: Liphumeleni ukulungisa impi yenu? Angisiye umFilisti nezinceku zikaSawule na? zikhetheleni indoda, yehle ize kimi.

⁹Uma enamandla okulwa nami, angibulale, siyakuba yizinceku zenu; kepha uma ngiyinqoba, ngiyibulala, niyakuba yizigqila zethu, nisikhonze.

¹⁰UmFilisti wathi: “Ngiyadelela namuhla impi yakwa-Israyeli; nginike indoda, silwe sobabili.

¹¹Lapho uSawule naye wonke u-Israyeli bezwa lawa mazwi omFilisti, bethuka, besaba kakhulu.

¹²UDavide wayeyindodana yalowo mEfrata waseBetlehema Juda ogama lakhe lalinguJese; wayenamadodana ayisishiyagalombili; lowo muntu wayesemdala ezinsukwini zikaSawule phakathi kwabantu.

¹³Amadodana amathathu amakhulu kaJese amlandela uSawule ukuya empini; amagama amadodana akhe amathathu aphuma impi ayengu-Eliyabe izibulo, no-Abinadaba wesithathu, noShama.

¹⁴UDavide wayengomncinyane, namadoda amadala amathathu amlandela uSawule.

¹⁵Kodwa uDavida wahamba wabuya kuSawuli ukuyakwelusa izimvu zikayise eBhethelehema.

¹⁶UmFilisti wayesesondela ekuseni nakusihlwa, wamhambela izinsuku ezingamashumi amane.

¹⁷UJese wathi kuDavide indodana yakhe: “Thatha abafowenu i-efa likakolweni othosiwe nalezi zinkwa eziyishumi, ugijimele ekamu kubafowenu;

¹⁸Ulethe lawa mashizi ayishumi enduneni yenkulungwane yabo, ubone ukuthi kuhamba kanjani kubafowenu, uthathe isibambiso kubo.

¹⁹USawuli, labo kanye lawo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli babesesigodini seEla, balwa lamaFilisti.

²⁰UDavide wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, washiya izimvu kumalusi, wazithatha, wahamba, njengalokho emyalile uJese; wafika emseleni lapho impi iphuma impi, yakhala impi.

²¹U-Israyeli namaFilisti bamisa impi, impi ibhekene nempi;

²²UDavide wayishiya inqola yakhe esandleni sabalindi, wagijimela ebuthweni, wafika wabingelela abafowabo.

²³Esakhuluma nabo, bheka, kwenyuka iqhawe, umFilisti waseGati, ogama lakhe linguGoliyati, liphuma emabuthweni amaFilisti, lakhuluma wona lawo mazwi, uDavide wawezwa.

²⁴Lapho wonke amadoda akwa-Israyeli eyibona le ndoda, abaleka phambi kwayo futhi esaba kakhulu.

²⁵Athi amadoda akwa-Israyeli: “Nimbonile lowo muntu owenyukile na?” wakhuphuka ukudelela u-Israyeli; umuntu oyombulala, inkosi iyakumcebisa ingcebo eningi, imnike indodakazi yakhe, ikhulule indlu kayise kwa-Israyeli.

²⁶UDavide wakhuluma kubantu ababemi ngakuye, wathi: “Kwenziwani kumuntu obulala lo mFilisti, asuse ihlazo lika-Israyeli na? Ngokuba ungubani lo mFilisti ongasokile ukuba edelele imiyalo kaNkulunkulu ophilayo na?

²⁷Abantu bamphendula kanje, bathi: “Kuyakwenziwa ngomuntu ombulalayo.”

²⁸U-Eliyabe umfowabo omkhulu wezwa lapho ekhuluma namadoda; intukuthelo ka-Eliyabe yamvuthela uDavide, wathi: “Uzeleni lapha na? Uzishiye nobani lezo zimvu ezimbalwa ehlane? Mina ngiyakwazi ukuzikhukhumeza kwakho lenkani yenhliziyo yakho; ngoba nehlele ukubona impi.

²⁹UDavida wasesithi: Ngenzeni khathesi? Ingabe asikho isizathu?

³⁰Wasemfulathela waya komunye, wakhuluma ngokunjalo;

³¹Lapho amazwi kaDavide ezwakala, azwakala phambi kukaSawule, wathumela ukuba abizwe.

³²UDavide wayesethi kuSawule: “Makungaphelelwa nhliziyo yamuntu ngenxa yakhe; inceku yakho iyakuhamba, ilwe nalo mFilisti.

³³USawule wayesethi kuDavide: “Awunakwenyuka ukulwa nalo mFilisti, ngokuba wena uyinsizwa, kepha yena uyindoda yempi kwasebusheni bakhe.

³⁴UDavide wayesethi kuSawule: “Inceku yakho yayiluse izimvu zikayise, kwafika ingonyama nebhere, zathatha imvu emhlambini;

³⁵Ngaphuma ngiyilandela, ngayishaya, ngayisindisa emlonyeni wayo; lapho ingivukela, ngayibamba ngentshebe ngayishaya ngayibulala.

³⁶Inceku yakho ibulele kokubili ingonyama nebhere, futhi lo mFilisti ongasokile uyakuba njengenye yazo, ngoba udelele amabutho kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.

³⁷Futhi uDavide wathi: “UJehova owangisindisa esandleni sengonyama nasoshawini lwebhere, nguyena oyangisindisa esandleni salo mFilisti. USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Hamba, njalo uJehova uzakuba lawe.

³⁸USawule wagqokisa uDavide izikhali zakhe, wafaka isigqoko sethusi ekhanda lakhe; wabuye wahloma ngesikhali.

³⁹UDavide wabhinca inkemba yakhe empahleni yakhe, wazama ukuhamba; ngoba akazange akufakazele. UDavide wayesethi kuSawule: “Anginakuhamba nawo; ngoba kangibalinganga. UDavide wawasusa kuye.

⁴⁰Waphatha udondolo lwakhe esandleni sakhe, wazikhethela amatshe ayisihlanu abushelezi emfudlaneni, wawafaka esikhwameni esikhwameni somalusi ayenaso; indwayimane yakhe yayisesandleni sakhe, wasondela kumFilisti.

⁴¹UmFilisti wasesiza, wasondela kuDavida; indoda ephethe isihlangu yaphuma phambi kwakhe.

⁴²UmFilisti waqalaza, wabona uDavide, wameyisa, ngokuba engumfana ebomvana, emuhle ebusweni.

⁴³UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Ngiyinja yini ukuthi uze kimi uphethe izinduku? UmFilisti wamthuka uDavide ngonkulunkulu bakhe.

⁴⁴UmFilisti wathi kuDavide: “Woza kimi, nginike izinyoni zezulu nezilwane zasendle inyama yakho.”

⁴⁵UDavide wayesethi kumFilisti: “Wena uza kimi nenkemba, nomkhonto, nesihlangu; kepha mina ngiza kuwe egameni likaJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu Sebawoti ka-Israyeli.

⁴⁶Namuhla uJehova uyakukunikela esandleni sami; ngiyakukwehlula, ngisuse ikhanda lakho kuwe; ngiyakuzinika namuhla izinyoni zezulu nezilwane zomhlaba izidumbu zebutho lamaFilisti; ukuze umhlaba wonke wazi ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli.

⁴⁷Lonke leli bandla liyakwazi ukuthi uJehova akophuli ngenkemba nangomkhonto; ngokuba impi ingekaJehova, uyakuninikela esandleni sethu.

⁴⁸Kwathi umFilisti eseqedile ukuhlangana loDavida, uDavida waphangisa wagijimela empini ukumhlangabeza umFilisti.

⁴⁹UDavide wafaka isandla sakhe ekhukhwini lakhe, wakhipha itshe khona, walijikijela, wamshaya umFilisti ebunzini, itshe lashona ebunzini lakhe; wawa ngobuso emhlabathini.

⁵⁰UDavide wamnqoba umFilisti ngendwayimana nangetshe, wamshaya umFilisti, wambulala; kodwa kwakungekho nkemba esandleni sikaDavide.

⁵¹Ngakho uDavida wagijima wema eduze lomFilisti, wathatha inkemba yakhe, wayihotsha emgodleni wayo, wambulala, wamquma ikhanda ngayo. Lapho amaFilisti ebona ukuthi iqhawe lawo lifile, abaleka.

⁵²Amadoda akwa-Israyeli noJuda azilungisa, amemeza, awaxosha amaFilisti, kwaze kwaba sesigodini nasemasangweni ase-Ekroni. Abalimeleyo bamaFilisti bawa endleleni eya eSaharayimi, kuze kufike eGati nase-Ekroni.

⁵³Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babuya ekuxosheni amaFilisti, baphanga amatende awo.

⁵⁴UDavide walithatha ikhanda lomFilisti, waliyisa eJerusalema; kepha izikhali zakhe wazibeka etendeni lakhe.

⁵⁵Lapho uSawule ebona uDavide ephuma ukuhlangabezana nomFilisti, wathi ku-Abineri induna yempi: “Abineri, iyindodana kabani le nsizwa na? U-Abineri wayesethi: “Kuphila komphefumulo wakho, nkosi, angikwazi ukusho.

⁵⁶Inkosi yasisithi: Uyabuza ukuthi indodana kabani?

⁵⁷UDavide esebuyile ekubulaleni umFilisti, u-Abineri wamthatha, wamyisa phambi kukaSawule, enekhanda lomFilisti esandleni sakhe.

⁵⁸USawuli wasesithi kuye: Uyindodana kabani, nsizwa? UDavide wathi: “Ngiyindodana yenceku yakho uJese waseBetlehema.”
