8 Yabuya yabakho imfazwe; waphuma uDavide, walwa namaFilisti, wawabulala kakhulu; asaba phambi kwakhe.
9 Umoya ombi kaYehova wamfikela uSawule, ehleli endlwini yakhe, intshuntshe yakhe isesandleni sakhe, uDavide ebetha uhadi ngesandla.
10 USawule wafuna ukumqhama nodonga uDavide ngentshuntshe. Wathi nyebelele ebusweni bukaSawule; watsho yangena intshuntshe eludongeni. Wasaba uDavide, wasinda ngobo busuku.
11 USawule wathumela abathunywa endlwini kaDavide ukuba bamlinde, bambulale kusasa. UMikali, umkakhe, wamxelela uDavide, esithi, Ukuba uthe akwawusindisa umphefumlo wakho kwangobu busuku, wobulawa ngomso.
12 UMikali wamhlisa uDavide ngefestile. Wahamba wabaleka, wasinda.
13 UMikali wayithabatha imilonde-khaya, wayilalisa elukhukweni, wabeka nomluko woboya beebhokhwe entlokweni yayo, wayigubungela ngengubo.
14 USawule wasusa abathunywa ukuba bamthabathe uDavide. Wathi yena, Úyafa.
