⁷ Abo bagore basingizaga bikiranya, bavuga bati «Sawuli yishe abantu igihumbi, naho Dawudi yica ibihumbagiza.»

⁸ Sawuli yumvise ayo magambo aramurakaza cyane, maze aravuga ati «Dawudi bamubazeho abantu ibihumbagiza, naho jyewe bambaraho igihumbi cyonyine. None se ashigaje kindi ki kitari ubwami!»

⁹ Guhera uwo munsi, Sawuli atangira kureba nabi Dawudi.

Sawuli ashyingira Dawudi umukobwa we Mikali

¹⁷ Bukeye Sawuli abwira Dawudi, ati «Dore Meraba umukobwa wanjye w’imfura, ni we nzagushyingira, ariko urakomeze kuba intwari ku mirimo yanjye, kandi urwane intambara z’Uhoraho.» Sawuli yaribwiraga ati «Ntazangwaho, ahubwo azicwe n’Abafilisiti.»

¹⁸ Dawudi abwira Sawuli ati «Jye naba ndi nde, cyangwa se ubwoko bwa data bwaba ari ubuhe muri Israheli, kugira ngo mbe umukwe w’umwami?»

¹⁹ Ariko Meraba umukobwa wa Sawuli, ngo agere igihe cyo kumushyingira Dawudi, arongorwa na Adiriyeli w’i Mehola.

²⁰ Hanyuma ariko, Mikali umukobwa wa Sawuli aza kubenguka Dawudi; babibwiye Sawuli biramushimisha.

²¹ Ubwo Sawuli yaribwiraga ati «Ngiye kumumushyingira amubere umutego, maze Abafilisiti bazabone uko bamwica.» Kabiri kose Sawuli abwira Dawudi, ati «Uyu munsi uraba umukwe wanjye.»

²² Nuko Sawuli ategeka abagaragu be, ati «Mushyire Dawudi ahiherereye, maze mumubwire muti ’Dore umwami aragushima, ndetse n’abagaragu be bose baragukunda! Wemere ube umukwe w’umwami.’»

²³ Abagaragu ba Sawuli babwira Dawudi ayo magambo, maze Dawudi arabasubiza ati «Mbese murahamya ko byoroshye kuba umukwe w’umwami? Jyewe rero ndi umutindi kandi ndasuzuguritse!»

²⁴ Nuko abagaragu ba Sawuli bamutekerereza uko Dawudi yababwiye.

²⁵ Sawuli yongera kubabwira ati «Muzabwire Dawudi muti ’Nta yindi nkwano umwami akeneye, itari ibinyita ijana bikebwe ku Bafilisiti, kugira ngo abone uko umuhorera abanzi be.’» Ubwo Sawuli yibwiraga ko Dawudi azicwa n’Abafilisiti.

²⁶ Abagaragu ba Sawuli ngo bamare kubwira Dawudi ayo magambo, yishimira kuba umukwe w’umwami. Ariko igihe cyo kumushyingira kitari cyagera,

²⁷ Dawudi arahaguruka ajyana n’ingabo ze ku rugamba, yica abantu magana abiri mu Bafilisiti. Nuko Dawudi azanira umwami ibinyita byakebwe ku Bafilisiti, babibarira imbere y’umwami, kugira ngo Dawudi abe umukwe we. Nuko Sawuli amushyingira umukobwa we Mikali.

²⁸ Sawuli amenya neza ko Uhoraho ari kumwe na Dawudi, kandi ko n’inzu yose ya Israheli imukunda.

²⁹ Nuko Sawuli arushaho gutinya Dawudi, kandi arushaho kumwanga.

³⁰ Bukeye, Abafilisiti bongera kugaba ibitero. Buri gihe uko bateraga, Dawudi yarabatsindaga, akarusha kure abagaragu bose ba Sawuli. Nuko bituma izina rye riba icyamamare.
