1 USamuweli 16:7-12

Kepha uJehova wathi kuSamuweli: “Ungabheki isimo sakhe nobude bomzimba wakhe, ngokuba ngimalile, lokhu uJehova engabukisi okomuntu; umuntu ubheka okusemehlweni, kepha uJehova ubheka okusenhliziyweni.”
UJese wayesebiza u-Abinadaba, wamdlulisa phambi kukaSamuweli. Wathi: “Nalona uJehova akamkhethanga.” UJese wayesedlulisa uShama. Wathi: “Nalona uJehova akamkhethanga.” UJese wadlulisa ayisikhombisa kumadodana akhe phambi kukaSamuweli. USamuweli wathi kuJese: “UJehova akawakhethanga nalawa.” USamuweli wathi kuJese: “Sebephelile abafana na?”
Wathi: “Kusasele omncane; bheka, uyalusa izimvu.”
USamuweli wathi kuJese: “Thumela umlande, ngokuba asiyikubuya, engakafiki lapha.”
Wathumela, wamngenisa. Wayebomvana enamehlo amahle, emuhle ngokubukwa. UJehova wathi: “Suka umgcobe, ngokuba lona nguye.”
