46. | Namhlanje uYehova uya kukunikela esandleni sam, ndikubulale, ndikunqumle intloko, namhla ndizinike iintaka zezulu namarhamncwa omhlaba izidumbu zomkhosi wamaFilisti, wazi wonke umhlaba ukuba amaSirayeli anaye uThixo; |
47. | lazi lonke eli bandla, ukuba akungakrele, akungantshuntshe ukusindisa kukaYehova; ngokuba imfazwe yekaYehova; woninikela ke esandleni sethu. |
48. | Kwathi, xa asukayo umFilisti, ehamba esondela, esiya kumhlangabeza uDavide, wakhawuleza uDavide, wabalekela eluhlwini, esiya kumhlangabeza umFilisti. |
49. | UDavide wafaka isandla sakhe engxoweni, warhola ilitye khona, wasawula, watsho kumFilisti ebunzi; latshona ilitye ebunzini lakhe, wawa ngobuso bakhe emhlabeni. |

53. | Babuya oonyana bakaSirayeli ekuwasukeleni ngokushushu amaFilisti, baziphanga iintente zawo. |
54. | UDavide wayithabatha intloko yomFilisti, wayisa eYerusalem; impahla yakhe wayibeka ententeni yakhe. |
55. | Xa uSawule ebembona uDavide, ephuma esiya kumhlangabeza umFilisti, wathi kuAbhinere, umthetheli-mkhosi, Wa, Abhinere, ngunyana kabani na lomfana? Wathi uAbhinere, Uhleli nje umphefumlo wakho, kumkani, andazi. |
56. | Wathi ukumkani, Buza ukuba ingunyana kabani na le ndodana. |
57. | Xa uDavide wabuyayo ekumbulaleni umFilisti, uAbhinere wamthabatha, wamzisa phambi koSawule, ephethe ngesandla intloko yomFilisti. |
58. | Wathi uSawule kuye, Ungunyana kabani na, mfanandini? Wathi uDavide, Ndingunyana womkhonzi wakho, uYese waseBhetelehem. |
