1Ngawo la amazwi okugqibela kaDavide. Wathetha uDavide, unyana kaYese, yaphakanyiswa indoda, umthanjiswa kaThixo kaYakobi, umdumisi wakwaSirayeli, wathi,

2uMoya kaYehova uthetha ngam, ilizwi lakhe liselulwimini lwam.

3Wathi uThixo kaSirayeli, Iliwa lakwaSirayeli lithethile kum, lathi, Olawula abantu uya kuba lilungisa, alawule emoyika uThixo;

4Unjengokukhanya kokusa, ekuphumeni kwelanga, ngesifingo esingenalifu; njengengca ephuma emhlabeni, Kukukhanya okuqaqambileyo emva kwemvula.

5Nakuba indlu yam ingenjalo kuThixo; noko ke wenze nam umnqophiso ongunaphakade, osingiselwayo, osisiqinisekiso sezinto zonke; kuba oku kukusindiswa kwam konke kunye nomnqweno wam wonke, nokuba akaphakamisi.

6Ke bonke oonyana bakaBheliyali baya kuba njengameva ahlabayo, ngokuba awabanjiswa ngazandla.

7Umntu ozichukumisayo woba nothango lwentsimbi nomkhonto esinqeni sakhe; uzitshise khona ngomlilo.

8Ngawo la amagama amadoda anamandla awayekunye nawo uDavide: uTahemon owayehleli etroneni, intloko yeenkosana; yayinguAdino, eMoesne; wanqanda umkhonto wakhe kumazinyo angamakhulu alithoba anamabini awawahlabayo kwakanye.

9Ngasemva kwakhe nguEleyazare unyana kaDodo umAhowa, omnye wamagorha amathathu awayenoDavide, ekulweni kwabo namaFilisti awayelapho ukuba aye kulwa, namadoda akwaSirayeli ahamba.

10Wesuka wawabulala amaFilisti, sada sadinwa isandla sakhe, sanamathela ekreleni isandla sakhe; uYehova wenza usindiso olukhulu ngaloo mini; abuya amadoda lawo, emlandela, esiya kuphanga kuphela.

11Emva kwakhe nguShama unyana ka-Age, uMoharari. Yaye amaFilisti ahlanganisana ndawonye, apho intsimi yayizele ziimbotyi; asaba amadoda phambi kwamaFilisti.

12Kodwa yena wema esazulwini selizwe waza wawukhusela waza wawabulala amaFilisti, yaye uYehova wenza usindiso olukhulu.

13Kwehla isithathu sabaziintloko emashumini amathathu, beza kuDavide ngexesha lokuvuna emqolombeni waseAdulam;

14Ngelo xesha uDavide wayesezintabeni kwindawo enqatyisiweyo, yaye abalindi bamaFilisti babeseBhetelehem ngelo xesha.

15Wanqwena uDavide, wathi, Akwaba bendithe ndasela amanzi equla laseBhetelehem elisesangweni!

16Atyhoboza umkhosi wamaFilistiya amadoda amathathu lawo, akha amanzi equleni laseBhetelehem elisesangweni, awazisa kuDavide; akavuma ukuwasela, wawagalela phambi koYehova.

17Wathi, Makube lee kum, Yehova, ukwenza oko! ngoko ke, akazange akuthande ukuwasela. Yiloo nto eyenza loo magorha mathathu.

18Ke uAbhishayi, umninawa kaYowabhi, unyana kaTseruya, waye eyintloko yabathathu. Wajula umkhonto wakhe kumakhulu amathathu, wababulala; laduma igama lakhe phakathi kwabathathu.

19Ebengebekeke ngaphezu kwabo bathathu na? ngoko xa wayengumlawuli wabo; kodwa akafikanga kwabathathu bokuqala.

20uBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada, unyana wendoda enobukroti, waseKabhetseli, owenza izenzo ezininzi, wabulala amadoda amabini akwaMowabhi, njengeengonyama;

21Wabulala indoda engumYiputa, enenzwakazi; UmYiputa lowo ephethe intshuntshe esandleni sakhe; kodwa wehla waya kuye ephethe intonga waza wawuhlutha umkhonto esandleni somYiputa waza wambulala ngomkhonto wakhe.

22Le nto yenziwa nguBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada, wayedume phakathi kwamagorha amathathu.

23Wayebekekile yena ngaphezu kwamashumi amathathu lawo, kodwa akafikanga kwabathathu bokuqala. uDavide wammisa phezu kwabalindi bakhe.

24uAsaheli, umninawa kaYowabhi, ebengomnye wamashumi omathathu lawo; uElihanan, unyana kaDodo, waseBhetelehem;

25uSama waseHarodi, noElika waseHarodi,
