Na Saulo tee sɛ Dawid afi Keila no, ogyaa nʼakyi di. 14 Dawid tenaa ne hintabea hɔ wɔ sare so ne Sif mmepɔw asase no so. Saulo hwehwɛɛ no adekyee ne adesae biara, nanso AWURADE amfa Dawid anhyɛ ne nsa. 15 Bere a Dawid wɔ Hores wɔ Sif sare so no, ɔtee sɛ Saulo nam kwan so reba hɔ abɛhwehwɛ no akum no. 16 Na Saulo ba Yonatan kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn wɔ Hores kɔhyɛɛ no den wɔ Onyankopɔn ho gyidi mu. 17 Yonatan hyɛɛ no den se, “Nsuro!

Afei, Yonatan kɔɔ fie na Dawid de, ɔtenaa Hores hɔ. 19 Sififo no kɔɔ Saulo nkyɛn wɔ Gibea koyii Dawid mae se, “Yenim baabi a Dawid akohintaw. Ɔwɔ abandennen mu, wɔ Hores a ɛwɔ Hakila mmepɔw mu, wɔ Yesimon anafo fam ha yi. 20 Ɔhene, bere biara a wubenya kwan no bra na yɛbɛkyere no ama wo.” 21 Saulo kae se, “AWURADE nhyira mo!
