30 Ebile Saule o halefela Jonathane, a re ho yena: Ngwana ya lonya, ya ikgantshang, ha ke re, ke a tseba hobane o ikgethetse mora Jese hore ka yena o hlabiswe dihlong le bona bofeela ba mmao na?
31 Hobane, mora Jese ha a ntse a phela lefatsheng, ho ke ke ha tiya wena, leha e le borena ba hao. Romela jwale ho ya ntshwarela yena; hobane o lokelwa ke ho shwa.
32 Jonathane a fetola Saule, ntatae, a re ho yena: O tla bolaelwang? o entseng na?
33 Ebile Saule o mmetsa ka lerumo ho mo hlaba. Jonathane a tseba kahoo hobane ntatae o rerile ruri ho bolaya Davida.
34 Yaba Jonathane o tloha tafoleng a halefile haholo, a sa ka a ja letho ka lona la bobedi la kgwedi, kahobane a hlomohetse Davida, hape a nyatsitswe ke ntatae.
