UKumkani uDavide
Ukusokola kokumkani
Ukumkani uSawule, oyikumkani yamaSirayeli, wachukunyiswa kukuba uDavide woyisa uGoliyati. USawule wenza uDavide inkokheli yemikhosi yakhe.
UDavide wayeyithanda iNkosi kwaye wayesoloko efuna ukwenza okulungileyo. Abantu bakwaSirayeli babemthanda uDavide.
USawule waye waba nomona kwaye wazama ukubulala uDavide. Kodwa uDavide wayelandela iNkosi, kwaye iNkosi yamkhusela kuSawule.
AmaSirayeli alwa kwiimfazwe ezininzi. Ngenye imini uSawule kunye noonyana bakhe baye baswelekela edabini. UDavide wayebathanda kakhulu kwaye wayekhathazekile ngokuva ngokufa kwabo. Ngoku amaSirayeli ayedinga ukumkani omtsha. INkosi yaye yakhetha uDavide ukuba abe yikumkani. Abantu babonwabile.

INkosi yamsikelela uKumkani uDavide kwaye yamkhokela. Ngoncedo lweNkosi, umkhosi kaDavide waye woyisa iintshaba zawo.
Ngenye imini xa uDavide kwakumele aye edabini, waye wahlala ekhaya. Waye wabona umfazi omhle. Igama lakhe yayinguBhatshebha, kwaye uDavide wayefuna ukumtshata. Kodwa wayesele etshatele ku-Uriya, owayelijoni emkhosini kaDavide.
UDavide wayefuna ukutshata uBhatshebha, ngoko ke waye wathumela umyeni wakhe u-Uriya kwidabi elalinobungozi khon’ ukuze u-Uriya abulawe.
Kungekudala uDavide waye wava ukuba u-Uriya uswelekele edabini. UDavide wathumela izicaka zakhe ukuba zizise uBhatshebha endlwini yakhe, kwaye waye wamtshata.
Kodwa iNkosi yayingonwabanga ngoko uDavide wayekwenzile. INkosi yathumela uNatan, umprofeti, ukuba ayoxelela uDavide ukuba isono sakhe sasingqongqo kangakanani. UDavide waye wakhathazeka kakhulu ngoko wayekwenze ku-Uriya noBhatshebha. Wathandaza kwaye wazilela ukuba axolelwe yiNkosi.
