1Wemka apho ke uDavide, wabalekela emqolombeni waseAdulam; Beva abazalwana bakhe nendlu yakhe yonke, behla baya kuye.

2Abuthelana kuye onke amadoda abandezelekileyo, namadoda onke anamatyala, namadoda angahluthanga; waba ngumlawuli wabo, ekunye namadoda akumakhulu amane.

3Wemka apho ke uDavide, waya eMizpe yakwaMowabhi, wathi kukumkani wakwaMowabhi, Ubawo noma makaphume ahlale nawe, ndide ndiyazi into aya kundenzela yona uThixo.

4Wabazisa phambi kokumkani wakwaMowabhi, bahlala naye yonke imihla abesemboniselweni uDavide entabeni.

5Wathi umprofeti uGadi kuDavide, Musa ukuhlala endaweni yonqaba ezintabeni; hamba, uye ezweni lakwaYuda. Emva koko uDavide wemka waya kwihlathi laseHereti.

6Xa uSawule wevayo ukuba uDavide namadoda awayekunye naye bafikile, ngoko uSawule wahlala eGibheya phantsi komthi weRama, ephethe umkhonto wakhe esandleni sakhe, nabo bonke abakhonzi bakhe bemi ngakuye.

7Wathi uSawule kubakhonzi bakhe ababemi ngakuye, Phulaphulani, maBhenjamin! Unyana kaYese uya kuninika elowo amasimi nezidiliya, animise nonke nibe ngabathetheli-waka nabathetheli-makhulu;

8ngenxa enokuba ninditshabhise nje nonke, kungekho namnye undixeleleyo ukuba unyana wam uzimase unyana kaYese, akwabakho namnye uvelana nam, engandixelelanga ukuba ukhuliswe ngunyana wam. Undivukile ke umkhonzi, ukuze akrobe njenganamhla?

9Wathi uDowegi umEdom, obephethe abakhonzi bakaSawule, Ndimbonile unyana kaYese eNobhi, kuAhimeleki, unyana ka-Ahitubhi.

10Wambuza kuYehova, wamnika ukudla, wamnika nekrele likaGoliyati umFilisti.

11Wathumela ukumkani, wambiza uAhimeleki unyana ka-Ahitubhi, umbingeleli, nendlu yonke kayise, ababingeleli ababeseNobhe; beza bonke kukumkani.

12Wathi uSawule: “Phulaphula, nyana ka-Ahitubhi! Waphendula ke yena wathi, Ndikho, nkosi yam.

13Wathi uSawule kuye, Yini na ukuba undithande, wena nonyana kaYese, umnike isonka nekrele, uthandaze kuThixo ukuba andivuse, ndilale? linda, njenganamhlanje?

14uAhimeleki wamphendula ukumkani, wathi, Ngubani na kubakhonzi bakho bonke othembeke njengoDavide, umyeni wokumkani, ohamba ngokwesiko lakho, ozukileyo endlwini yakho?

15Ndaqala na ngoko ukumbuza kuThixo? Ukumkani makangathwali nto umkhonzi wakhe, nakwindlu yonke kabawo, ngokuba umkhonzi wakho ebengazi nto ngayo, nokuba kuncinane.

16Wathi ukumkani, Uya kufa, Ahimeleki, wena nendlu yakho yonke.

17Wathi ukumkani kwababemi ngeenyawo nabamlindile, Jikani, nibabulale ababingeleli bakaYehova; ngokuba nesabo isandla siphezu koDavide, nangokuba babesazi oko wabalekayo yena, bengandazisanga. Kodwa abakhonzi bakakumkani bala ukolula izandla zabo ukuze balwe nababingeleli bakaYehova.

18Wathi ukumkani kuDowegi, Jika, uxabele ababingeleli. Wajika uDoege wakwaEdom, wababulala ababingeleli, wabulala amashumi asibhozo anababini abantu ngaloo mini, bambethe ilinen emhlophe.

19NoNobhe isixeko sababingeleli wayibulala ngohlangothi lwekrele, amadoda nabafazi, abantwana neentsana, iinkomo, amaesile nezimvu ngohlangothi lwekrele.

20Omnye woonyana baka-Ahimeleki unyana ka-Akitubhi, ogama linguAbhiyatare, wasinda waza wabaleka emva koDavide.

21uAbhiyatare wamxelela uDavide ukuba uSawule ubabulele ababingeleli bakaYehova.

22Wathi uDavide kuAbhiyatare, Bendisazi kwangaloo mini, ukuba, ekho nje uDowegi umEdom, uya kuthi kanye kuSawule, Ndibabulele bonke abantu bendlu kayihlo.

23Hlala nam, musa ukoyika; ngokuba ofuna umphefumlo wam ufuna umphefumlo wakho; kodwa ngam niya kusindiswa.
