2 Kaha Jonathane mora oa Saule o ne a rata Davida haholo,+ Jonathane a re ho Davida: “Ntate oa ka o batla hore u bolaoe. Ke kopa hore hoseng u itlhokomele ’me u tsamaee u e’o ipata sebakeng se sireletsehileng.
3 Ke tla ea ’me ke eme pel’a ntate oa ka naheng moo u tla beng u le teng. Ke tla u buella ho ntate oa ka ’me haeba ho e-na le seo ke se utloang, ke tla u bolella sona.”+

6 Saule a mamela Jonathane ’me Saule a hlapanya a re: “Ke hlapanya ka Jehova Molimo ea phelang hore a ke ke a bolaoa.”
7 Ka mor’a moo, Jonathane a bitsa Davida ’me a mo bolella lintho tsena tsohle. Eaba Jonathane o tlisa Davida ho Saule ’me a ’na a mo sebeletsa joaloka pele.+
8 Ka mor’a nako ha boela ha e-ba le ntoa. Kahoo, Davida a tsoa a e’o loantša Bafilista ’me a ba bolaea ka bongata eaba baa mo baleha.
9 Moea o mobe o tsoang ho Jehova oa e-ba holim’a Saule+ ha a ntse a lutse ka tlung ea hae a tšoere lerumo la hae ’me Davida a ntse a letsa ’mino ka harepa.+
10 Saule a leka ho hlabella Davida leboteng ka lerumo empa Davida a qoba eaba Saule o hlaba lebota. Davida a baleha bosiung boo.
11 Hamorao Saule a romela baromuoa ntlong ea Davida hore ba e lebele ’me ba mo bolaee hoseng+ empa Mikale mosali oa Davida a re ho eena: “Haeba u sa balehe bosiung bona, hosane u tla tsoha u shoele.”
12 Hang-hang Mikale a ntša Davida ka fensetere e le hore a balehe.
13 Mikale a nka setšoantšo sa terafime* a se beha betheng, a se samela lesela le entsoeng ka boea ba poli eaba o se koahela ka seaparo.

15 Saule a romela baromuoa bao hape hore ba ee ho Davida, a re ho bona: “Mo kakaseng ka bethe ea hae le mo tlise ho ’na hore a tl’o bolaoa.”+
16 Ha baromuoa ba kena, ba fumana ho e-na le setšoantšo sa terafime* betheng se sametsoeng lesela le entsoeng ka boea ba poli.
17 Saule a re ho Mikale: “Ke hobane’ng ha u nqhekeletse ka tsela ee ’me u tlohetse sera+ sa ka hore se balehe?” Mikale a re ho Saule: “O ile a re ho ’na, ‘Ntlohele ke balehe ho seng joalo ke tla u bolaea.’”
18 Davida o ne a balehetse Rama ho Samuele.+ A mo bolella lintho tsohle tseo Saule a mo entseng tsona. Eaba o tsamaea le Samuele ba e’o lula Najothe.+
19 Ka mor’a nako, Saule a bolelloa hore Davida o Najothe e Rama.
20 Hang-hang Saule a romela baromuoa hore ba e’o tšoara Davida. Ha ba bona baprofeta ba holileng ba profeta ’me Samuele a eme e le moeta-pele oa bona, moea oa Molimo oa theohela ho baromuoa ba Saule ’me le bona ba qala ho itšoara joaloka baprofeta.
21 Ha ba bolella Saule ka taba eo, hang-hang a romela baromuoa ba bang ’me le bona ba qala ho itšoara joaloka baprofeta. Saule a romela baromuoa ba bang e leng sehlopha sa boraro ’me le bona ba qala ho itšoara joaloka baprofeta.
22 Qetellong le eena a ea Rama. Ha a fihla selibeng se seholo se Seku a re: “Samuele le Davida ba hokae?” Eaba ba re: “Ba mane Najothe+ e Rama.”
