1Kwabakho indlala ngemihla kaDavide iminyaka emithathu ilandelelana; uDavide wabuza kuYehova. Wathi uYehova, Kungenxa kaSawule nagazi lakhe, ngokuba wawabulala amaGibheyon.

2uYehova wababiza abaseGibheyon, wathi kubo, (AbaseGibheyon babengengabo oonyana bakaSirayeli, kodwa babengamasalela ama-Amori; oonyana bakaSirayeli bafunga kubo, waza uSawule walinga ukubabulala ngekhwele lakhe oonyana bakaSirayeli nabakwaYuda.)

3Wathi uDavide kwabaseGibheyon, Ndinenzele ntoni na? yaye ndiya kwenza umnqophiso ngantoni na ukuze nilisikelele ilifa likaYehova?

4Athi abaseGibheyon kuye, Asinasilivere nagolide kuSawule nendlu yakhe; yaye ngenxa yethu musani ukubulala nabani na kwaSirayeli. Wathi, Into oyithethayo ndiya kuyenza.

5Baphendula bathi kukumkani, Yilaa ndoda yasitshabalalisayo, eyayifuna ukusitshabalalisa, ukuze sihlale ezweni lonke lakwaSirayeli.

6Masinikwe amadoda abe sixhenxe koonyana bakhe, siwaxhome phambi koYehova, iGibheha kaSawule, onyuliweyo nguYehova. Wathi uYehova, Ndiya kubanika.

7Kodwa ukumkani wamsindisa uMefibhoshete unyana kaYonatan unyana kaSawule ngenxa yesifungo sikaYehova esasiphakathi kwabo, phakathi koDavide noYonatan unyana kaSawule.

8uYehova wathabatha oonyana ababini bakaRitspa, intombi ka-Aya, awabazalela uSawule, uArmoni noMefibhoshete; noonyana abahlanu bakaMikali, intombi kaSawule, awabanyusela kuAdriyeli, unyana kaBharsilayi, waseMehola;

9Wabanikela esandleni samaGibheyon, aza abaxhoma endulini phambi koYehova; zawa ndawonye zosixhenxe, zabulawa ngemihla yokuvuna, ekuqaleni, ekuqalekeni kwerhasi isivuno.

10uRitspa, intombi ka-Aya, wathabatha iingubo ezimnyama, wazandlala phezu kwakhe eweni, kususela ekuqalekeni kokuvuna, ada awela amanzi phezu kwabo, esibhakabhakeni, ukuba zingavuki iintaka zezulu ngokuhlwa phumla, namarhamncwa ebusuku.

11Waxelelwa uDavide awakwenzayo uRitspa, intombi ka-Aya, umlungiseleli kaSawule.

12uDavide wahamba waza wawathabatha amathambo kaSawule nonyana wakhe uYonatan kumadoda aseYabheshe yaseGiliyadi, awayewabile kwindawo yembutho yaseBhete-shan, apho amaFilisti ayebaxhome khona, xa amaFilisti ebulala uSawule iGilibhowa.

13Wawanyusa khona amathambo kaSawule, namathambo kaYonatan unyana wakhe; yaye bawaqokelela amathambo abo babexhonyiwe.

14Amathambo kaSawule noYonatan unyana wakhe, angcwatyelwa ezweni lakwaBhenjamin, eSela, engcwabeni likaKishe uyise; benza konke abewise umthetho ngako ukumkani. Kwaye ke uThixo wathandazwa ehlabathini.

15Kananjalo amaFilisti alwa kwakhona noonyana bakaSirayeli; Wehla uDavide, nabakhonzi bakhe balwa naye namaFilisti, ediniwe uDavide.

16Ke yena uIshbhi-bhenobhi, woonyana bamaRefa, ubunzima bomkhonto wakhe babungamakhulu amathathu eeshekele zobhedu, exhobe ngekrele elitsha, wacinga ukuba umbulele uDavide.

17Ke uAbhishayi unyana kaTseruya wamnceda, wamxabela umFilisti lowo, wambulala. Aza amadoda kaDavide amfungela, esithi, Uze ungabi sahamba nathi ekulweni, hleze ucime ukukhanya kwaSirayeli.

18Emva koko kwabakho elinye idabi namaFilisti eGobhi;

19Kwaphinda kwabakho imfazwe namaFilisti eGobhi, waza uElihanan unyana kaYahare-oregime umBhetelehem umntakwabo Goliyati umGati, umkhonto wakhe wawunjengomthi wabaluki, wawoyisa.

20Kwabakho ke imfazwe eGati, apho kwakukho indoda emde, ineminwe emithandathu esandleni ngasinye, neenzwane ezintandathu elunyaweni lunye, amashumi amabini anesine ngenani; naye wazalwa sisigebenga.

21Kwathi, ekulweni kwakhe namaSirayeli, wambulala uYonatan unyana kaShimeha, umkhuluwa kaDavide.

22Oonyana abane bazalelwa ingxilimbela yaseGati yaye bawa ngesandla sikaDavide nangezandla zabakhonzi bakhe.
