16 Ekugqibeleni uYehova wathi kuSamuweli: “Uza kukhathazeka kude kube nini ngenxa kaSawule,+ ekubeni ndingasafuni ukuba abe ngukumkani wamaSirayeli?+ Gcwalisa uphondo lwakho ngeoli+ uze uhambe. Ndiza kukuthumela kuYese+ waseBhetelehem, kuba ndizikhethele ukumkani koonyana bakhe.”+

15 Uthando lwam olungagungqiyo aluzukususwa kuye ngendlela endalususa ngayo kuSawule,+ lowo ndamsusayo phambi kwakho.

22 Emva kokuba emsusile esihlalweni, wabeka uDavide ukuba abe ngukumkani wabo,+ lo wathi ngaye, ‘Ndifumene uDavide unyana kaYese,+ indoda ethandwayo yintliziyo yam,+ uza kuzenza zonke izinto endizifunayo.’
