3 Waza uYonatan noDavide benza umnqophiso,+ ngenxa yokumthanda kwakhe njengomphefumlo wakhe.+

42 Waza uYonatan waqhubeka wathi kuDavide: “Hamba ngoxolo,+ ekubeni sifungile,+ sobabini, egameni likaYehova, sisithi, ‘Ngamana uYehova angaba phakathi kwam nawe naphakathi kwenzala yam nenzala yakho ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo.’”+

Wesuka ke uDavide wahamba, noYonatan wangena esixekweni.

8 Kuba nina, nonke, nindenzele iyelenqe; akukho namnye ukutyhilayo oko endlebeni yam+ xa unyana wam esenza umnqophiso+ nonyana kaYese, yaye akukho namnye kuni onovelwano ngam aze ayityhilele indlebe yam ukuba unyana wam undivusele umkhonzi wam ukuba andilalele ngokwendlela ekungayo ngale mini.”

7 Noko ke, ukumkani waba nemfesane kuMefibhoshete+ unyana kaYonatan unyana kaSawule ngenxa yesifungo+ sikaYehova esasiphakathi kwabo, phakathi koDavide noYonatan unyana kaSawule.
