12 Davida a eketsa, a re: Hleka beng ba Keila ba tla re neela, nna le batho ba ka, matsohong a Saule na? Jehova a re: Ba tla le neela.
13 Jwale, Davida a tloha, a ena le banna ba hae, e batla e eba batho ba makgolo a tsheletseng, ba tswa Keila, ba ya moo ba yang. Saule a tsebiswa hobane Davida o balehile Keila; a lesa ke hona ho ya pele.
14 Haele Davida, a ya dula feelleng diqhobong, a dula thabeng, feelleng la Sife; leha Saule a ne a ntse a mmatla ka matsatsi wohle, Modimo ha o a ka wa mo neela matsohong a hae.
15 Leha Davida a bone hobane Saule o tswetse ho mmatla, Davida a dula feelleng la Sife, morung.
16 Yaba Jonathane, mora Saule, o tloha, a tla ho Davida morung, a tiisa letsoho la hae ho Modimo;
17 a re ho yena: Se tshabe, hobane letsoho la ntate Saule le ke ke la o fihlela; hape o tla ba morena wa Iseraele, nna ke be ya o hlahlamang; le ntate Saule o a tseba hobane ho tla ba jwalo.
18 Ebile bobedi ba bona ba etsa selekane pela Jehova; mme Davida a sala morung, Jonathane yena a kgutlela hae.
