Samweli kamulongela, “Nocholaze? Sauli yahahulika mbuli ino kong'homa!” Mndewa Imulungu kamulongela, “Sola bofu da kitwanzi da ng'ombe na uchole najo, wahavika longa, ‘Niza kumulavila nhosa Mndewa Imulungu.’ 
Umgoneke Yese kuna inhosa ayo abaho nokufambulila daukutenda. Umgidile mavuta imunhu yonda nikulagusile.”

Samweli kawalongela, “Niza kwa tindiwalo. Niza kumulavila nhosa Mndewa Imulungu, avo muisunhe abaho tukalave inhosa.” Samweli kamsunha Yese hamoja na wanage, kawagoneka hana inhosa. 
Viwavikile Samweli kamona Eliabu, kalongelela munda kwa munda, “Ino yeli haulongozi wa Mndewa Imulungu iyo iyamsagule Mndewa Imulungu.” 
Lakini Mndewa Imulungu kamulongela Samweli, “Sikuulole kihanga chake hebu utali wake, niye nimulema kwavija niye sitenda kamba viwotenda wanhu. Wanhu olola lukuli lwa kunze lakini niye nolola mgati muumoyo.” 
Abaho Yese kamkema Abinadabu na kamgala kwa Samweli. Lakini Samweli kawalongela, “Ino siyo iyamsagule Mndewa Imulungu.” 
Yese kamgala Shama, lakini Samweli kamulongela, “Ino hasaguligwe na Mndewa Imulungu.” 
Yese kawagala wanage saba kwa Samweli, lakini Samweli kamulongela, “Wano wose kuduhu hata imoja yasaguligwe na Mndewa Imulungu.” 
Abaho Samweli kamuuza Yese, “Vino wanago wose wa kimbigalo wabahano?” Yese kamulongela, “Yeli habule hano kizuwanda kachola kususila ng'hondolo.” Samweli kamulongela, “Mtume munhu yakamuwinze, siye hatukala hasi mbaka vonda yavike.” 
Avo Yese kamtuma munhu yakamuwinze. Ayo imbwanga kakala yanogile na meso gake gakala gong'ala. Mndewa Imulungu kamulongela Samweli, “Ino iyo mwenyego, genda kamgidile mavuta.” 
Samweli kasola tabatilo yake ya mavuta na kamgidila Daudi kuulongozi wa ndugu zake. Abaho Loho wa Mndewa Imulungu kahumuluka kwa nguvu kwa Daudi na kukala na heyo. Abaho Samweli kabwela kudibuga da Lama.

Avo Sauli katuma wasenga kwa Yese, wamulongele, “Ngalila mwanago Daudi ayo yosusila ng'hondolo.” 
Yese kamtogolela Daudi yachole kwa Sauli hamoja na kihongwe yapapile magate, mfuko wa ng'hwembe wa divai na bofu da mbuzi.
