1 IziKronike 10 AmaFilisti axosha uSawule namadodana akhe kalukhuni, kwaze kwaba sekufeni kukaSawule

¹ AmaFilisti alwa no-Israyeli; amadoda akwa-Israyeli abaleka phambi kwamaFilisti, awa ebulewe ezintabeni zaseGilibowa.

² AmaFilisti axosha uSawule namadodana akhe; amaFilisti abulala oJonathani, no-Abinadaba, noMaliki Shuwa, amadodana kaSawule.

³ Impi yaba nzima kuSawule, abacibishelayo bamshaya, walinyazwa abacibishelayo.

⁴ USawule wayesethi odibini lwezikhali zakhe: “Hosha inkemba yakho, ungigwaze ngayo; hlezi laba abangasokile beze banginukubeze. Kodwa umthwali wezikhali zakhe wala; ngoba wayesaba kakhulu. USawuli wasethatha inkemba wawela phezu kwayo.

⁵ Lapho udibi lwezikhali zakhe lubona ukuthi uSawule ufile, lwawela phezu kwenkemba, lwafa.

⁶ Ngakho uSawule namadodana akhe amathathu nabo bonke abendlu yakhe bafa kanyekanye.

⁷ Lapho bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli ababesesigodini bebona ukuthi babalekile nokuthi uSawule namadodana akhe bafile, bashiya imizi yabo, babaleka; afika amaFilisti, ahlala khona.

⁸ Kwathi ngangomuso lapho amaFilisti efika ukuphanga ababuleweyo, afumana uSawule namadodana akhe bewile entabeni yaseGilibowa.

⁹ Ngemva kokumhlubula, athatha ikhanda lakhe nezikhali zakhe, akuthumela ezweni lamaFilisti nxazonke ukuze kubikele izithombe zawo nakubantu.

¹⁰ Azibeka izikhali zakhe endlini yawonkulunkulu bawo, amisa ikhanda lakhe ethempelini likaDagoni.

¹¹ Lapho lonke iJabeshi eGileyadi likuzwa konke amaFilisti ayekwenzile kuSawule,

¹² Aqeda, onke amadoda anesibindi, asithatha isidumbu sikaSawule nezidumbu zamadodana akhe, aziyisa eJabeshi, angcwaba amathambo awo phansi komuthoni eJabeshi, azila ukudla izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.

¹³ Wafa-ke uSawule ngenxa yesiphambeko sakhe asenza ngaso kuJehova, ephambene nezwi likaJehova angaligcinanga, nangokuba wacela iseluleko kumuntu onomoya owaziwayo ukuba ambuze;

¹⁴ Akabuzanga kuJehova; ngalokho wambulala, wabunikela ubukhosi kuDavide indodana kaJese.
