30 Khona-ke uJakobe wathi kuSimeyoni noLevi:+ “Ningilethele isigcwagcwa ngokungenza ngibe iphunga elibi kwabakhileyo baleli zwe,+ kumaKhanani namaPherizi; njengoba ngimbalwa ngesibalo,+ ngokuqinisekile bazobuthana bangihlasele ngibhuqwe, mina nendlu yami.”

21 Ngaso leso sikhathi zathi kubo: “Kwangathi uJehova anganibheka ahlulele,+ njengoba nisenze sanuka kabi+ phambi kukaFaro naphambi kwezinceku zakhe ukuze babeke inkemba esandleni sabo ukuba basibulale.”+

4 Wonke u-Israyeli wezwa kuthiwa: “USawule ushaye isikaniso samabutho amaFilisti, manje u-Israyeli usenephunga elibi+ phakathi kwamaFilisti.” Ngakho abantu babizelwa ndawonye ukuba balandele uSawule baye eGiligali.+

12 Ngakho u-Akhishi wamkholelwa+ uDavide, ezitshela ukuthi: “Ngokungangabazeki usebe nephunga elibi kubantu bakubo u-Israyeli;+ uzoba yinceku yami kuze kube nini nanini.”
