7. Kodwa umuntu owathintayowohlonyiswa ngensimbi nangothi lomkhonto,aze ashiswe nokushiswa ngomlilo kuleyo ndawo.”
8. Lawa angamagama amaqhawe kaDavide: UJoshebi Bashebeti waseTahekemoni, inhloko yabathathu; nguyena owaphakamisa umkhonto wakhe, walwa nabantu abangamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili abagwazwa ngasikhathi sinye.
9. Emva kwakhe kwakungu-Eleyazare indodana kaDodayi indodana yomAhohi, omunye wamaqhawe amathathu ayenoDavide mhla edelela amaFilisti ayebuthene lapho ukulwa, abantu bakwa-Israyeli sebehambile;
10. wasuka wabulala amaFilisti saze sakhathala isandla sakhe, isandla sakhe sanamathela enkembeni; uJehova wenza insindiso enkulu ngalolo suku; abantu babuya emva kwakhe ukuba baphange kuphela.
11. Emva kwakhe kwakunguShama indodana ka-Age umHarari. AmaFilisti ayebuthene eLehi, lapho kwakukhona isiqephu sezwe esigcwele imbumba; abantu babaleka ebusweni bamaFilisti.
12. Kepha wayemi phakathi nesiqephu, wasivikela, wawabulala amaFilisti; uJehova wenza insindiso enkulu.
13. Kwehla abathathu kwaba yizinhloko ezingamashumi amathathu, bafika kuDavide ngesikhathi sokuvuna emhumeni wase-Adulamu; impi yamaFilisti yayimise esiGodini samaRefa.
14. UDavide wayesesenqabeni; ikhanda lamaFilisti laliseBetlehema.
