Lenhloko ya-Ishboshethi bayimikisa kuDavide eHebroni, bafike kuye, batsi: “Nansi inhloko ya-Ishboshethi, umsa waSawula, sitsa sakho labetama kukubulala. Lamuhla Simakadze sewukhokhele inkhosi yami sibhongo kuSawula nentalelwane yakhe.”
Bantfu labasekhaya kami abazange sebasho yini batsi: ‘Ngubani longazange asayidle ayesutse inyama yakaJobe?’
Ngihawukele, Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele, ngobe wena usiphephelo semphefumulo wami, ngiyawukhosela emtfuntini wemaphiko akho, kuze kwendlule tivunguvungu temashwa.
Kodvwa nangabe abengakacondzi kumbulala ngekumlalela endleleni, kodvwa kube nguNkulunkulu lomyekelele wawela esandleni sakhe, angabaleka ayewubhaca endzaweni lengitayikhetsa kutsi kube yindzawo yekukhosela.

Wafike wakhuluma kuye watsi: “Ungesabi, ngobe sandla sababe, Sawula, singeke sifinyelele kuwe. Wena utawuba yinkhosi ka-Israyeli, mine nje ngitawuba wesibili kuwe. Ngisho nababe Sawula uyakwati loko.”

Sewukushito manje lokuhle longentele kona, kutsite nome Simakadze asanginikele esandleni sakho, kodvwa wena wangete wangibulala.
Simakadze umnika umvuzo wonkhe umuntfu lolungile nalowetsembekile. Lamuhla Simakadze abekunikele esandleni sami, kodvwa angikatsandzi kubeka sandla sami etikwalogcotjiwe waSimakadze.
