19 ¹Sauli anayankhula kwa Yonatani mwana wake ndi antchito ake onse za kupha Davide. Koma Yonatani mwana wa Sauli anakondwera kwambiri ndi Davide. ²Yonatani anauza Davide, nati, “Sauli bambo anga akufuna kukupha; choncho uchenjere m'mawa—ubisale ndi kukhala pobisika. ³Ine ndidzatuluka, ndikaima pambali pa bambo anga m'munda mmene uli iwe, ndipo ndidzayankhula ndi bambo anga za iwe—kenaka ndidzakuuza chilichonse chimene ndidzapeze.”

⁴Yonatani anayankhula zabwino za Davide kwa Sauli bambo wake, nati kwa iye, “Mfumu isamuchimwire mtumiki wake Davide, pakuti iye sanakuchimwireni; m'malo mwake, ntchito zake zakhala zabwino kwambiri kwa inu. ⁵Iye anayika moyo wake pachiswe kuti akanthe Mfilisti, ndipo Atate wathu anachitira Isiraeli yense chipambano chachikulu. Inu munaona, nasangalala. Nanga muchimwirenji mwazi wosalakwa, kupha Davide popanda chifukwa?”

⁶Sauli anamvera Yonatani, nalumbira, “Pali Atate wathu wamoyo, Davide sadzaphedwa.”

⁷Yonatani anaitana Davide, namuuza zonsezi, kenaka anabwera naye kwa Sauli, ndipo Davide anamtumikira monga kale.

⁸Nkhondo inayambikanso. Davide anatuluka, namenyana ndi Afilisti, nawakantha mwamphamvu kwambiri, ndipo anathawa pamaso pake.

⁹Koma mzimu woipa wochokera kwa Atate wathu unabwera pa Sauli pamene anakhala m'nyumba yake ali ndi mkondo m'dzanja lake, ndipo Davide anaimba zeze. ¹⁰Sauli anafuna kukhoma Davide pakhoma ndi mkondo wake, koma Davide anapewa, ndipo mkondo unakhoma pakhoma. Davide anathawa, napulumuka usiku umenewo. ¹¹Sauli anatumiza anthu kukalondera nyumba ya Davide kuti amuphe m'mawa. Mikala, mkazi wa Davide, anamuchenjeza, nati, “Ngati suthawa usiku uno, mawa udzakhala wakufa.” ¹²Choncho Mikala anamutsitsa Davide kudzera pa zenera, ndipo iye anathawa, napulumuka. ¹³Ndipo Mikala anatenga fano la pakhomo, naligoneka pa bedi, naika bulangete la ubweya wa mbuzi pamutu pake, naliphimba ndi nsalu. ¹⁴Pamene Sauli anatumiza amithenga kukagwira Davide, Mikala anati, “Akudwala.”

¹⁵Choncho Sauli anawabwezeranso amithengawo kuti akaone Davide, nati, “Mubwere naye kwa ine ali pa bedi, kuti ndimuphe.” ¹⁶Pamene amithenga analowa, fano la pakhomo linali pa bedi, bulangete la ubweya wa mbuzi pamutu pake.

¹⁷Sauli anati kwa Mikala, “Wandinyenga chotere bwanji, nulola mdani wanga kuti athawe?” Mikala anati kwa Sauli, “Iye anandiuza kuti, ‘Ndisiye ndipite, ndikuphe iwe chifukwa chiyani?’”

¹⁸Davide anathawa, napulumuka, nafika kwa Samueli ku Rama, namuuza zonse zimene Sauli anamchitira. Ndipo iye ndi Samueli anapita, nakakhala ku Nayoti. ¹⁹Sauli anauzidwa kuti, “Davide ali ku Nayoti mu Rama.” ²⁰Sauli anatumiza amithenga kukagwira Davide. Koma ataona gulu la aneneri likunenera, Samueli ali chiimire ngati mtsogoleri wawo, Mzimu wa Atate wathu unabwera pa amithenga a Sauli, ndipo iwonso ananenera. ²¹Sauli anauzidwa; anatumiza amithenga ena, ndipo iwonso ananenera. Sauli anatumizanso amithenga, kachitatu, ndipo iwonso ananenera. ²²Potsiriza Sauli iye mwini anapita ku Rama, nafika pa chitsime chachikulu cha ku Seku. Anafunsa, nati, “Kodi Samueli ndi Davide ali kuti?” Wina anati, “Ali ku Nayoti mu Rama.”

²³Anapita ku Nayoti mu Rama, koma Mzimu wa Atate wathu unabwera pa iyenso, ndipo anayenda, akunenera, mpaka anafika ku Nayoti mu Rama. ²⁴Iyenso anavula zovala zake, nanenera pamaso pa Samueli, nagona maliseche tsiku lonse limenelo ndi usiku wonse. N'chifukwa chake anthu amati, “Kodi Saulinso ali pakati pa aneneri?”
