Kodwa uDavida wacabanga wathi, “Ngolunye lwalezi insuku uSawuli uzangibulala. Into engcono engingayenza yikubalekela elizweni lamaFilistiya. Lapho-ke uSawuli uzadela ukungidinga loba kungaphi ko-Israyeli, njalo ngizaphunyuka esandleni sakhe.”
2 Huno nentahino Deviti'a agranema vanoma nehaza 600'a sondia vahe'ene, Gati kini ne' Maoka nemofo Akisi'ene umani'naku rugitagi'za vu'naze.
Ngakho uDavida labantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha basuka laye baya ku-Akhishi indodana kaMawokhi inkosi yaseGathi.
3 Hagi Deviti'a agranema vano nehaza vene'nene a'mofavre'zaminena zamavareno Gati mopare Akisi'ene umani'naze. Hagi Deviti'a tare atrema'ane vu'neankino, mago'mofo agi'a Ahinomukino, agra Jezreri kumateti a' mani'ne. Hagi mago'mofo agi'a Abigeli'e. Ana ara Kameri kumateti Nebali kento a'ma eri'nea a'e'ne zanavreno vu'ne.
UDavida labantu bakhe bahlala eGathi lo-Akhishi. Umuntu ngamunye wayelabendlu yakhe, uDavida elabomkakhe ababili: u-Ahinowama waseJezerili lo-Abhigeli waseKhameli, umfelokazi kaNabhali.
4 Hagi Deviti'ma Gati moparega vu'nea nanekema Solima eme asamizageno nentahino'a, Devitina ahenakura mago'anena rotagoa osu'ne.
Kwathi uSawuli esetsheliwe ukuthi uDavida wayebalekele eGathi kasamdinganga futhi.
5 Hagi mago zupa Deviti'a amanage huno Akisina asmi'ne, Kagrama nagri'ma kavesi nante'nunka, mago osi kumaka'a namige'na anampi naga'ninena umani'neno. Eri'za vahekamo'na kini ne'moka rankumapina omanigahue.
UDavida wasesithi ku-Akhishi, “Nxa ngithole umusa emehlweni akho ngabela indawo komunye wemizi yasemaphandleni, ukuze ngiyehlala khona. Inceku yakho ingahlalelani lawe edolobheni lobukhosi na?”
6 Huno higeno, ana knazupa Akisi'a Ziglak kuma ami'ne. (E'inagafare Ziglak kumamo'a Juda vahe kinimofo kuma meno menina ama knarera ehanati'ne.)
Ngakho ngalelolanga u-Akhishi wamnika iZikhilagi, njalo seyaba ngeyamakhosi akoJuda kusukela lapho.
7 Hagi Deviti'a Filistia mopafina mago kafugi 4'a ika mani'ne.
UDavida wahlala elizweni lamaFilistiya umnyaka lezinyanga ezine.
8 Ana huteno Deviti'ene sondia vahe'amo'za vu'za, Gesuri vahe'ma Kirzeti vahe'ma Ameleki vahe'enena hara ome hu'naze. Ana vahera za'za kna e'i ana mopafina mani'naza vaheki'za, ana mopazmimofo agema'amo'a Suriti vuno Isipi tva'onte ome atre'ne.
UDavida labantu bakhe basuka bayahlasela amaGeshuri, amaGirizi kanye lama-Amaleki. (Kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo abantu laba babehlale elizweni elalifika eShuri kanye laseGibhithe.)
9 Hagi Deviti'ma ha'ma ome hunezmanteno'a, maka venenene a'nenena zamahehna nehuno, sipisipi afuma, bulimakao afu'ma, donki afu'ma, kemori afuma kukenanena e'nerino ete kini ne' Akisima mani'nerega e'ne.
Lapho uDavida ehlasele indawo, wayengatshiyi ndoda kumbe umfazi ephila, kodwa wayethatha izimvu lenkomo, obabhemi lamakamela, kanye lezigqoko. Wabuyela ku-Akhishi.
10 Hagi Akisi'a antahigeno, Kagra menina iga hara ome nehane? Higeno'a Deviti'a amanage huno kenona'a hu'ne, Juda vahe'ene Negevi mopamofo mago asoparega hara ome huge, mago kaziga asoparega Jerami vahe'ene hara ome huge, mago kaziga asoparega Kenaiti vahe'ene hara ome huge nehue.
Lapho u-Akhishi embuza esithi, “Lamhla ubuyehlasela ngaphi na?” UDavida wayesithi, “Besimelane leNegebi yakoJuda,” loba athi, “Besimelane leNegebi yaseJerameli,” loba athi, “Besimelane leNegebi yama-Kheni.”
11 Hagi Deviti'a ha'ma ome nehuno'a, magore huno vene'nene a'nenena ozmatreno zamahe fri vagare'ne. Agrama agesama antahiana, mago vahe'ma atresugeno'a, Deviti'a vahera ahe fri vagare'ne huno Gati kumate vahera ome asamigahaze huno agesa antahine. Hagi Deviti'a Filistiama mani'nea knafina, e'inahu'za huvava huno vu'ne.
Katshiyanga ndoda kumbe umfazi ephila ukuba asiwe eGathi ngoba wacabanga wathi, “Bangasiceba bathi, ‘Lokhu yikho okwenziwe nguDavida.’” Lokhu yikho ayekwenza sonke isikhathi sokuhlala kwakhe elizweni lamaFilistiya.
12 Hagi Akisi'ma agesama antahiana Deviti'a tamage nehie nehuno, amanage huno antahi'ne, Agra'a naga Israeli vahe hara ome hunezamante huno agesa antahi'ne. Hagi meninteti'ma vaniana nagri eri'za vahe manino vugahie huno antahi'ne.
U-Akhishi wayemthemba uDavida njalo wazitshela wathi, “Usezondakala kangaka ebantwini bakibo, ama-Israyeli, usezakuba yinceku yami kuze kube nininini.”
