11 Lapho-ke uDavida labantu bonke ababelaye babamba izigqoko zabo bazidabula.
Hagi ana ke'ma Deviti'ene mika sondia vahe'amo'zama nentahi'za zamasunku nehu'za, kukenazamia tagato hu'naze.
12 Babakhalela, babalilela, babazilela kwaze kwahlwa uSawuli lendodana yakhe uJonathani kanye lebutho likaThixo lendlu ka-Israyeli, ngoba babebulewe ngenkemba.

14 UDavida waselibuza esithi, “Kungani ungesabanga ukuphakamisa isandla sakho ukuba ubulale ogcotshiweyo kaThixo na?”
Hagi ana risera Deviti'a antahigeno, nahigenka masavema frenteno Ra Anumzamofonte'ma huhampri ante'nea nera korera osunka ahe fri'nane?
15 UDavida wabiza omunye wabantu bakhe wathi, “Sondela umgongode!” Ngakho wamgongoda wafa.
Huteno Deviti'a mago sondia ne' ke higeno egeno, ana nera bainati kazinknoteti ome akafrio, huno higeno ana nehaza nera ome ahe fri'ne.
16 Ngoba uDavida wayethe kuye, “Igazi lakho kalibe phezu kwekhanda lakho. Umlomo wakho ufakaze okubi ngawe lapho wena uthe, ‘Ngimbulele ogcotshiweyo kaThixo.’”
Ana higeno Deviti'a ana Ameleki ne'mofo avufga negeno anage hu'ne, kagra'a hu'nana hazenke zamofo nona'a frine. Kagraka'a huama hunka nagra Ra Anumzamo'ma huhamprinte'nea kini ne' ahe fri'noe hunka hu'nane.
