Elfu mbili bhali pandwemo nawo ohwo hu Mikmashi na hunsi ye magamba ge Betheli, owakati owo bhala elfu moja bhali pandwemo no Yonathani hu Gibea ye Benyamini. Asikari bhabhasageye abhabhawezezye akhaya, shila muntu hwi hema lyakwe. 1 Samweli 13: 3-4 ³ O Yonathani ahaimene engome yi jeshi lya Bhafilisti lyalyali hu Geba na Filisti bhahomvwa enongwa eyo.

Asikari bhakwiziwa kwa pandwemo akhomane no Sauli ohwo hu Gilgali. ⁵ Afilisti bhahubhongane pandwemo akhomane ashile Aisraeli: amagari elfu tatu, abhantu elfu sita abhajenzye amagari na majeshi aminji nanshi osanga mwifuko mu bahari. Bhahazubha na khome ikambe ohwo hu Mikimashi, mashariki mwa Beth aveni. 1 Samweli 13: 6-7 ⁶ Abhantu bhe Israeli na bhalola aje bhali mumatatizo afuatane naje abhantu bhakete etamaa, bhahobhele mumagwenya, mumadudi, muntuha, na mvisima na mumalende. ⁷ Bhamo Aebrania bhazubhile abhale hu Yordani mhati yensi ye Gadi na Gileadi. Ila oSauli asageye hu Gilgali, na bhantu bhabhafuatile bhaingaga. 1 Samweli 13: 8-10 ⁸ Agoloye hu nsiku saba, umuda gwagwapangwilwe no Samweli. Ila oSamweli sagafishile ohwo hu Gilgali, na bhantu bhanyampene hutali no Sauli. ⁹ O Sauli ajile, "Ndeteli esadaka eyalongolezye ne sadaka ye amani." Epo ahafumya esadaka eyalongolezye. ¹⁰ Na bhahamala afumye esadaka yalongolezye oSamweli ahafiha. O Sauli ahafuma honze bhakhomene na hulamshe. 1 Samweli 13: 11-12 ¹¹ O Samweli ajile, "Obhombile yenu?" O Sauli ahagomora, "Nanalolile aje abhantu bhailehanaje ochelewe sewafishile hu muda gwagwapangwilwe, naje Afilisti bhabhongeno hu Mikmashi, ¹² naga, 'Esalezi Afilisti bhanza hwishe ashile ane ohwo hu Gilgali, na sendandabhile eshibali hwa NGOLOBHE.' Eshi esalezi nahwilazimisya neene afumye esadaka eyalongolezye." 1 Samweli 13: 13-14. ¹³ Epo oSamweli abhozya oSauli, "Obhombile mambo geshilema. Sewaiheshimule endajiyo zya NGOLOBHE Ongolobhe waho wapiye. Afuatanaje ONGOLOBHE ayenzaga alenganye oulongozi waho pamwanya yebha Israeli wiila wila. ¹⁴ Ila esalezi oulongozi waho seubhahwendelele. ONGOLOBHE ayanzile omuntu wahwetehwa no mwoyo gwakwe, afuatane naje awe sewahesheye habhozezye." 1 Samweli 13: 15-16 ¹⁵ O Samweli ahemelela ahazubha hu Gilgali hadi hu Gibea ye Benyamini. O Sauli abhabhazya abhantu bhabhalipandwemo eidadi yabho yali kama abhantu mia sita. ¹⁶ O Sauli, omwana wakwe oYonathani, na bhantu bhabhali pandwemo nabho, bhasagala hu Geba ya Benyamini. Ila Afiristi bhahakhoma ikambe ohwo hu Mikmashi. 1 Samweli 13: 17-18 ¹⁷ Bhabhateka enyara amakundi gatatu bhenza afume hwi kambi lya Filisti. Ikundi limo lyagolombana abhalile Ofra, hadi ensi ya hu Shuali. ¹⁸ Ikundi limo lya galuha abhalile hu Bethholoni, ni kundi lyamwabho lyabhalila hu mpaho aifishile entebha yahu Seboimu abhalile hwi poli. 1 Samweli 13: 19-21 ¹⁹ Nomo hata muhunzi wabhoneshe munsi yonti ye Israeli, afuatanaje Afilisti bhajile, "Abhebrania bhasahenze bhahwilenganyizizye amapana ne mpalala." ²⁰ Ila Abheisraeli bhonti bhahishile hwa Filisti, shila muntu anole ijembe lyakwe, ne nsololo yakwe, ne ntwanga yakwe emundu yakwe. ²¹ Egharama ezyalole woji we majembe, ensololo entwanga nanyosye amishokoo gagali theluthi yeko ye shekeli. 1 Samweli 13: 22-23 ²² Esho isiku libho, sehwali amapanga au empalala yayabhoneshe mumakhono gagonti ga sikari bhabhali no Sauli no Yonathani; Yo Sauli no mwana wakwe mwene bhabhali nazyo. ²³ Evikhosi vya Filisti bhafumizanya hwidala lya Mikmashi.
