21 Pea naʻe hoko ha honge+ ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tēvitá ʻi he taʻu hokohoko ʻe tolu, ko ia naʻe kumi faleʻi ai ʻa Tēvita kia Sihova, pea naʻe folofola mai ʻa Sihova: “ʻOku halaia ʻi he toto ʻa Saula pea mo hono falé, koeʻuhí he naʻá ne tāmateʻi+ ʻa e kau Kipioné.” 2 Ko ia naʻe ui mai ai ʻe he tuʻí ʻa e kau Kipioné+ peá ne lea kiate kinautolu. (Kae kehe, ko e kau Kipioné naʻe ʻikai ko e kau ʻIsileli ka ko e toenga kinautolu ʻo e kau ʻĀmolí,+ pea naʻe fuakava ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke fakahaofi kinautolu,+ ka naʻe feinga ʻa Saula ke taaʻi kinautolu ʻi heʻene mamahiʻi ʻa e kakai ʻo ʻIsileli pea mo Siutá.) 3 Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Tēvita ki he kau Kipioné: “Ko e hā te u fai maʻamoutolú, pea ʻe lava fēfē ke u fai ha ʻufiʻufi angahala maʻamoutolu, koeʻuhí ke mou faitāpuekina ai ʻa e tofiʻa ʻo Sihová?” 4 Naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Kipioné kiate ia: “ʻOku ʻikai te mau ʻeke ha siliva pe ko ha koula+ ʻi he fekauʻaki mo Saula pea mo hono falé; pea heʻikai lava ke mau tāmateʻi ha tangata pē ʻi ʻIsileli.” Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ange ai: “Ko e hā pē haʻamou lau, te u fai ia maʻamoutolu.” 5 Naʻa nau pehē ki he tuʻí: “Ko e tangata ko ia naʻá ne feinga ke fakaʻauha ʻosi kimautolu pea faʻufaʻu ke fakaʻauhamālie kimautolu mei he nofo ʻi ha feituʻu pē ʻi he vahefonua ʻo ʻIsilelí+— 6 ke ʻomai kiate kimautolu ha toko fitu ʻo hono ngaahi fohá. Te mau tautau honau ngaahi sino kuo maté*+ ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová ʻi Kīpea+ ko e kolo ʻo Saulá, ʻa e tokotaha naʻe fili ʻe Sihová.”+ Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he tuʻí: “Te u ʻoatu kinautolu.”
7 Kae kehe, naʻe fakahāhā ʻe he tuʻí ʻa e manavaʻofa kia Mefipōseti,+ ko e foha ʻo Sionatane ko e foha ʻo Saulá, koeʻuhi ko e fuakava naʻe fai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Tēvita mo Sionatane,+ ko e foha ʻo Saulá. 8 Ko ia naʻe ʻave ai ʻe he tuʻí ʻa ʻAlamoni mo Mefipōseti, ko e ongo tama ʻa Līsipa+ ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻAia ʻa ē naʻá ne fanauʻi kia Saulá, pea mo e fānau ʻe toko nima ʻa Maikale*+ ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saulá ʻa ia naʻá ne fanauʻi kia ʻAtalieli+ ko e foha ʻo Pāsiliai ko e tangata Meholá. 9 Naʻá ne ʻoange leva kinautolu ki he kau Kipioné, pea naʻa nau tautau ʻa honau ngaahi sino kuo maté ʻi he moʻungá ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová.+ Ko e toko fitu kotoa ko kinautolú naʻa nau mate fakataha; naʻe tāmateʻi kinautolu ʻi he ʻuluaki ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e utu-taʻú, ʻi he kamata ʻa e utu-taʻu paʻalé. 10 Pea ko Līsipa+ ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻAiá naʻá ne toʻo ʻa e teunga tauangaʻa ʻo ne folahi ia ʻi he funga maka mei he kamata ʻa e utu-taʻú kae ʻoua kuo tō hifo ʻa e ʻuha mei he langí ki he ngaahi sinó; naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke tuʻu ai ʻa e fanga manupuna ʻo e langí ʻi he ʻahó pe haʻu ʻo ofi ki ai ʻa e fanga manu fekai ʻo e vaó ʻi he poʻulí.
11 Naʻe tala kia Tēvita ʻa e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he sinifu ʻa Saulá, ʻe Līsipa ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻAiá. 12 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tēvita ʻo toʻo ʻa e ngaahi hui ʻo Saulá mo e ngaahi hui ʻo hono foha ko Sionatané mei he kau taki* ʻo Siepesi-kiliatí,+ ʻa ē naʻa nau kaihaʻasi ia mei he malaʻe fakakolo* ʻo Pete-saní, ʻa ia naʻe tautau ai ʻe he kau Filisitiá kinaua ʻi he ʻaho ko ē naʻe taaʻi ai ʻe he kau Filisitiá ʻa Saula ʻi Kilipoá.+ 13 Naʻá ne ʻohake mei ai ʻa e ngaahi hui ʻo Saulá mo e ngaahi hui ʻo hono foha ko Sionatané, pea naʻa nau fakatahatahaʻi foki mo e ngaahi hui ʻo e kau tangata ko ia naʻe tāmateʻí.*+ 14 Pea naʻa nau tanu leva ʻa e ngaahi hui ʻo Saula mo Sionatane ko hono fohá ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimaní ʻi Siela+ ʻi he fonualoto ʻo Kisi+ ko ʻene tamaí. ʻI he hili ʻenau fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he tuʻí, naʻe fanongo leva ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻenau ngaahi kōlenga maʻá e fonuá.+
15 Naʻe toe fai ha tau ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e kau Filisitiá mo ʻIsilelí.+ Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ʻa Tēvita mo ʻene kau sevānití ʻo tauʻi ʻa e kau Filisitiá, ka naʻe hoko ai ʻo ongosia ʻa Tēvita. 16 Ko ha hako ʻo e kau Lifaimí+ ko hono hingoá ko ʻIsipi-penopi, ʻa ia ko ʻene tao kopá naʻe sikeli ʻe 300*+ ʻa hono mamafá pea naʻe noʻo ʻiate ia ha heletā foʻou, naʻá ne fakataumuʻa ke taaʻi ʻa Tēvita. 17 ʻI he taimi pē ko iá naʻe haʻu ai ʻa ʻApisai+ ko e tama ʻa Seluvaiá ʻo tokoniʻi ia+ peá ne taaʻi ʻa e Filisitiá ʻo ne mate ai. ʻI he taimi ko iá naʻe fai ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻa Tēvitá ʻa e fuakava ko ení kiate ia: “Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻá ke toe ʻalu mo kimautolu ʻi he taú+ ke ʻoua naʻa mate ʻa e maama ʻo ʻIsilelí!”+
18 ʻI he hili ení, naʻe toe fai ha tau mo e kau Filisitiá+ ʻi Kopo. ʻI he taimi ko iá ko Sipekai+ ko e tangata Husá naʻá ne taaʻi ʻa Safi, ʻa ia ko ha hako ʻo e kau Lifaimí.+
19 Pea naʻe toe fai ha tau mo e kau Filisitiá+ ʻi Kopo, pea ko ʻElanani ko e foha ʻo Saele-ʻolikimi ko e Pētelihemá naʻá ne taaʻi ʻa Kolaiate ko e tangata Katí, ʻa ia ko ʻene taó naʻe hangē ʻa hono kaú ko e vaʻakau ʻa e kau lalangá.+
20 Naʻe toe fai ha tau ʻi Kati, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ai ha fuʻu tangata lahi anga-kehe, naʻe louhiʻinima ʻe 6 ʻa hono nima taki taha pea louhiʻivaʻe ʻe 6 ʻa e vaʻe taki taha, ʻo 24 fakakātoa; pea ko iá foki ko ha hako ʻo e kau Lifaimí.+ 21 Naʻá ne hanganaki manuki ki ʻIsileli.+ Ko ia ko Sionatane ko e foha ʻo Simí,+ ʻa e tokoua ʻo Tēvitá, naʻá ne taaʻi ia.
22 Ko e toko fā ko ení ko e hako kinautolu ʻo e kau Lifaimi ʻi Katí, pea naʻa nau tō ʻi he nima ʻo Tēvitá pea ʻi he nima ʻo ʻene kau sevānití.+
