David el sifacna nunku insial, “Sie len Saul el ac mau uniyuwi. Wona nga in kaingla nu Philistia, na Saul el ac tia sifil sukyu in facl Israel, ac nga fah moul in misla.”
2 Ngakho uDavida labantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha basuka laye baya ku-Akhishi indodana kaMawokhi inkosi yaseGathi.

4 Kwathi uSawuli esetsheliwe ukuthi uDavida wayebalekele eGathi kasamdinganga futhi.
Ke Saul el lohng lah David el kaingla nu Gath, el tila sokol.

8 UDavida labantu bakhe basuka bayahlasela amaGeshuri, amaGirizi kanye lama-Amaleki. (Kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo abantu laba babehlale elizweni elalifika eShuri kanye laseGibhithe.)
