22. Baza babuza kuNdikhoyo bathi: “Ngaba selefikile na?”UNdikhoyo wathi: “Ewe, nankuya ezimele phaya emva kwemithwalo.”
23. Akhawuleza aya kumrhola apho amadoda, amzisa ebantwini. Kwathi xa emi phakathi kwabo wavela ngentloko kubo bonke.
24. Wenjenje ke uSamweli ukubhekisa ebantwini: “Nanku ke umntu otyunjwe nguNdikhoyo. Niyabona nani ukuba akukho namnye onjengaye phakathi kwethu.”Baduma bonke abantu, bathi: “Huntshu-u-u, ad' akhokhob' ukumkani!”
25. Ke uSamweli wabachazela ngemigaqo yobukumkani, wayibhala encwadini, waza wayibeka phambi kukaNdikhoyo. Wabandulula ke bonke, bagoduka.
26. Naye uSawule waya kowabo eGibheya. Kwabakho magorha antliziyo zichukunyiswe nguThixo, ahamba naye.
27. Babakho kambe noongantweni ababesithi: “Yintoni engenziwa ngulaa mfo ukusihlangula?” Bamdela, abamenzela zinwe; phofu wathi cwaka yena uSawule.
