Ngize ukuzokwenzela uJehova umhlatshelo

Ngalezo zinsuku uJehova wathi kuSamuweli: “Koze kube nini ukhala ngoSawule, mina ngimalile, angabe esabusa phezu kuka-Israyeli na?” Gcwalisa uphondo lwakho ngamafutha uhambe. Ngikuthuma kuJese waseBhetlehema, ngoba ngizikhethele inkosi phakathi kwamadodana akhe ». USamuèle uphendule wathi: «Ngingaya kanjani? USaul uzokwazi futhi uzongibulala ». INkosi yanezela: "Uzothatha isithole uhambe naso, uthi, 'Ngize ukuzokwenzela uJehova umhlatshelo.' Uzobe usumemela uJese emhlatshelweni. Lapho-ke ngizokwazisa ukuthi kuzofanele wenzeni futhi uzongigcoba engizokutshela yena ». USamuweli wenza njengalokho uJehova emyalile, wafika eBetlehema; abadala bomuzi bahlangana naye ngokukhathazeka bambuza: "Ngabe ukufika kwakho kunokuthula?" Uphendule wathi: «Kunokuthula. Ngize ukuzokwenzela uJehova umhlatshelo. Zingcweliseni, bese nihamba nami siye emhlatshelweni ». Wabuye wangcwelisa uJese namadodana akhe futhi wabamema ukuba bazonikela. Lapho bengena, wabona u-Eliàb wathi, "Impela, ogcotshiweyo wakhe umi phambi kweNkosi!" INkosi yaphendula uSamuèle yathi: «Ungabheki ukubukeka kwakhe noma ubude bakhe. Ngikulahlile, ngoba lokho umuntu akubonayo akubalwa: empeleni umuntu ubona ukubonakala, kepha iNkosi ibona inhliziyo ». UJese wabiza u-Abinadaba wammisa kuSamuèle, kodwa wathi, "NoJehova akamkhethanga." UJesse wangenisa uSamma wathi futhi, "INkosi nayo ayimkhethanga lo muntu." UJese wadlulisa amadodana akhe ayisikhombisa adlula phambi kukaSamuèle futhi uSamuèle waphinda kuJese wathi: "INkosi ayikhethanga neyodwa yalezi." USamuèle ubuze uJesse: "Ingabe bonke abantu abasha balapha?" UJese waphendula wathi: "Kusele omncane kunabo bonke, manje owalusa umhlambi." USamuèle wathi kuJese: "Thumela umlande, ngoba ngeke sihlale etafuleni ngaphambi kokuba eze lapha." Wamthuma wambiza. Wayengumuntu fawn, ngamehlo amahle futhi ebukekayo. INkosi yathi, "Sukuma umgcobe: nguyena!" USamuweli wathatha uphondo lwamafutha, waligcoba phakathi kwabafowabo; umoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kukaDavide kusukela ngalolo suku kuqhubeke.
