Dawuda yi keli Gati yi, a sa a luxun Adulan faranna ra. A tadane nun a babaa denbayaan to na mɛ, e siga a fɔxɔ ra na yi. 
Muxun naxanye tɔrɔxi, hanma donla naxanye ma, hanma naxanye murutɛxi, ne birin yi e malan a fɛma a findi e yɛɛratiin na. Na ma, xɛmɛ kɛmɛ naanin ɲɔxɔndɔn yi lu a fɔxɔ ra. 
Dawuda yi keli, a siga Misipe taani, Moyaba yi. A yi a fala Moyaba mangan xa, a naxa, “Tin n baba nun nga xa fa dɔxɔ i konni, han n yi a kolon Ala naxan ligama n na.” 
Dawuda yi e xali Moyaba mangan konni, e lu na fanni Dawuda yi faran makantanxin na waxatin naxan yi. 
Lɔxɔna nde Nabi Gadi yi a fala Dawuda xa, a naxa, “I nama lu faran makantanxin na. Siga Yuda yamanani.” Nayi, Dawuda yi keli, a siga Xɛrɛti fɔtɔnni. 
Sɔli yi Dawuda nun a fɔxɔrabirane fe xibarun mɛ. Sɔli yi dɔxi tamaro wudi binla bun ma, Gibeya yi geyaan fari. A tanban yi suxi a yii, a kuntigine birin yi tixi a fɛma.

Aximeleki Alatala maxɔdin a xa nɛn, a fandane so a yii e nun sofaan Goliyati Filisiti kaana silanfanna.” 
Mangan yi muxune rasiga saraxaralina Aximeleki tongodeni Axitubaa diina, e nun a fafe xabilan birin. Ne nan yi saraxaraline ra Nobi yi. E birin yi fa mangan fɛma. 
Sɔli yi a fala, a naxa, “I tuli mati, Axitubaa dii xɛmɛna.” A yi a ratin, a naxa, “N tan ni i ra, n kanna.”

A singen mi yi na ra n xa Ala maxɔdin a xa. A makuya na ra! Mangan nama n tan i ya walikɛɛn kansun hanma n baba xabilan muxuna nde, bayo n tan i ya walikɛɛn mi fefe kolon feni ito kui mumɛ!” 
Mangan yi a fala, a naxa, “I faxama nɛn yati, Aximeleki, ɛ nun ɛ fafe xabilan birin.” 
Mangan yi a kantan tiine yamari, naxanye yi tixi a fɛma, a naxa, “Ɛ Alatalaa saraxaraline faxa, bayo ne fan Dawuda nan malima. E a kolon nɛn a Dawuda bata a gi, koni e mi n nakolon.” Koni Sɔli a walikɛ yo mi tin a yiin dinɲɛ Alatalaa saraxaraline ra, a e faxa. 
Nayi, mangan yi Dowegi Edɔn kaan yamari, a naxa, “I tan xa sa saraxaralini itoe faxa.” Dowegi yi a maso, a yi e faxa. Na lɔxɔni, a yi muxu tonge solomasɛxɛ e nun suulun faxa naxanye lan e xa saraxarali domaan so. 
Sɔli mɔn yi fu saraxaraline taan ma, Nobi. A yi yihadin sa xɛmɛne nun ɲaxanle nun diidine nun dii ɲɔrɛne fari e nun ɲingene nun sofanle nun yɛxɛɛne birin.

A yi a fala Dawuda xa a Sɔli bata Alatalaa saraxaraline faxa. 
Dawuda yi a fala Abiyatari xa, a naxa, “Na lɔxɔni, n to Dowegi Edɔn kaan to na yi, n yi a kolon a a mi yi taganɲɛ Sɔli rakolonɲɛ a i fafe n malixi. Nayi, n tan nan findixi i baba xabilan birin faxan sabun na! 
Lu n fɛma be, i nama gaxu sese ra, bayo naxan wama i niin xɔn, na n fan gbeen xɔn. I rakantanma nɛn n fɛma.”
