Igice cya 31.

Abafilisiti barwana n'Abisiraheli, maze ingabo z'Abisiraheli zirahunga, zigwa zipfa ku musozi wa Gilibowa. Abafilisiti basanga Sawuli n'abahungu be, maze Abafilisiti bica Yonatani na Abinadabu na Malikishuwa, abahungu ba Sawuli. Intambara yibasira Sawuli cyane, maze abarashi b'imyambi baramusanga, baramukomeretsa cyane. Sawuli abwira uwamutwazaga intwaro ati: “Sohora inkota yawe unyice, aho se aba batakebwe baza banyica bankayirana.” Ariko uwamutwazaga intwaro arabyanga kuko yari ashēnguwe n'ubwoba. Nuko Sawuli afata inkota ye arayiguyeho. Uwamutwazaga intwaro abonye ko Sawuli yapfuye, na we yikubita ku nkota ye, arapfa kumwe na we. Nuko uwo munsi Sawuli arapfa, we n'abahungu be uko ari batatu, n'uwamutwazaga intwaro ndetse n'abantu be bose.

Ingabo z'Abisiraheli zari hakurya y'ikibaya no hakurya ya Yorodani zibonye ko ingabo z'Abisiraheli zahunze kandi ko Sawuli n'abahungu be bapfuye, ziteranya imijyi yabo zirahunga. Nuko Abafilisiti baraza bayituramo. Bukeye Abafilisiti baza gusahura abapfuye, basanga Sawuli n'abahungu be batatu baguye ku musozi wa Gilibowa. Bamuca umutwe, bamwambura intwaro ze, batuma intumwa muri Filisitiya zo kumenyesha iyo nkuru mu ngoro z'ibigirwamana byabo no mu bantu. Bashyira intwaro ze mu ngoro ya Ashitaroti, bamanika umurambo we ku rukuta rw'i Betishani. ^a
