AmaFilisti axosha uSawule namadodana akhe; amaFilisti abulala oJonathani, no-Abinadaba, noMaliki Shuwa, amadodana kaSawule.

Lapho bonke abantu bakwa -Israyeli ababe sesigodini bebona ukuthi babaleka nokuthi uSawule namadodana akhe bafile , bashiya imizi yabo , babaleka; amaFilisti afika, ahlala kuyo.

Bema phakathi nesiqephu sezwe , basophula, bawabulala amaFilisti ; uJehova wabasindisa ngokusindisa okukhulu.

uDavide wabuza kuNkulunkulu , wathi: Ngenyukele ukuhlasela amaFilisti na? Uyakuwanikela esandleni sami na ? UJehova wathi kuye : Yenyuka, ngokuba ngiyakuwanikela esandleni sakho.

AmaFilisti abuye angenela isigodi.

AmaFilisti esezwile ukuthi uDavide ugcotshiwe ukuba abe yinkosi kwa - Israyeli wonke , onke amaFilisti enyuka ukumfuna uDavide ; uDavide wakuzwa, waphuma ukuwahlasela.

AmaFilisti esefikile ukungenela isiGodi samaRefa,

USamuweli wathi : Wenzeni na ? USawule wathi : Njengokuba ngabona ukuthi abantu bahlakazekile kimi , nokuthi awufikanga ngesikhathi esimisiweyo, nokuthi amaFilisti abuthene eMikimashi,

ngathi: M anje amaFilisti ayakwehlela kimi eGiligali ngingakhulekanga ; ngase ngiziphoqa, nganikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa.

OSawule noJonathani indodana yakhe nabantu ababe naye bahlala eGeba lakwaBenjamini, kepha amaFilisti amisa eMikimashi.

Kwakungekho mkhandi ezweni lonke lakwa -Israyeli, ngokuba amaFilisti athi: Funa amaHeberu azenzele izinkemba nemikhonto.

Bonke abakwa -Israyeli behlela kuwo amaFilisti , kwaba yilowo nalowo ukuba alole umese wakhe , nempumulo yakhe , nembazo yakhe , nesikela lakhe;

UJonathani wachitha ikhanda lamaFilisti elaliseGeba , amaFilisti akuzwa . USawule wabetha icilongo ezweni lonke, wathi: Makezwe amaHeberu.

Wonke u -Israyeli wezwa kuthiwa uSawule uchithile ikhan da lamaFilisti nokuthi u -Israyeli uyanengeka kuwo amaFilisti . Abantu babuthwa ukuba bamlandele uSawule, baye eGiligali.

AmaFilisti abuthana ukuba alwe no -Israyeli: izinqola eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu , nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane eziyisithupha, nabantu abangangesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle ngobuningi; benyuka bamisa eMikimashi ngasempumalanga kwaseBeti Aveni.

Bobabili bazibonakalisa kulo ikhanda lamaFilisti ; amaFilisti ayesethi : Bhekani, amaHeberu aphuma emigodini acashe kuyo.

Abantu bonke bakwa -Israyeli ababecashile ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi sebezwile ukuthi amaFilisti abaleka, nabo bawaxosha ekulweni.

Kakhulu kangakanani, uma abantu bebedlile impela impango yezitha zabo abayifumanayo, ngokuba nga engabulawanga kakhulu amaFilisti na?

Babulala amaFilisti ngalolo suku kusukela eMikimashi kuze kube se-Ajaloni; abantu baphela amandla kakhulu.

USawule wathi : Masehle, silandele amaFilisti ebusuku , siwaphange kuze kuse, singashiyi noyedwa kuwo. Bathi: Yenza konke okuhle emehlweni akho. Umpristi wayesethi: Masisondele lapha kuNkulunkulu.

USawule wabuza kuNkulunkulu wathi : Ngehle ngilandele amaFilisti na ? Uyakuwanikela esandleni sakwa -Israyeli na ? Kepha akamphendulanga ngalolo suku.

USawule wayesenyuka ebuya ekulandeleni amaFilisti; aya endaweni yawo.

AmaFilisti abutha izimpi zawo ukuba alwe ; abuthana eSoko lakwaJuda , amisa phakathi kweSoko ne-Azeka e-Efesi Damimi.

AmaFilisti ayemi entabeni ngalapha , u-Israyeli wayemi entabeni ngalapha ; kwakukhona isigodi phakathi kwabo.

Wayesegijima uDavide, wema phezu komFilisti , wathatha inkemba yakhe , wayihosha emgodleni wayo , wambulala, wamnquma ikhanda ngayo. Lapho amaFilisti ebona ukuthi iqhawe lawo lifile, abaleka.

Abantu bakwa -Israyeli nabakwaJuda basuka bakhamuluka , bawaxosha amaFilisti kwaze kwaba seGayi nasemasangweni ase -Ekroni. Abalimeleyo bamaFilisti bawa ngasendleleni eya eShaharayimi, kwaze kwaba seGati nase- Ekroni.

Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babuya ekuxosheni amaFilisti , baphanga ikamu lawo.

USawule wathi : Niyakusho kanje kuDavide , nithi: Inkosi ayifuni ilobolo , kuphela amajwabu ayikhulu amaFilisti ukuba kuphindiswe ezitheni zenkosi . USawule wacabanga ukumwisa uDavide ngesandla samaFilisti.

uDavide wasuka waya , yena nabantu bakhe , wabulala kuwo amaFilisti abantu abangamakhulu amabili ; uDavide waletha amajwabu abo , bawayisa enkosini ephelele ukuba abe ngumkhwenyana wenkosi . USawule wayesemnika uMikhali indodakazi yakhe abe ngumkakhe.

Kwabikwa kuDavide ukuthi : Bheka, amaFilisti ayalwa neKeyila , aphanga izibuya.

Ngalokho uDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: Ngiye ngibulale lawo maFilisti na? UJehova wathi kuDavide: Hamba uwabulale amaFilisti, usindise iKeyila.

Kepha kwafika isithunywa kuSawule , sithi: Shesha ufike , ngokuba amaFilisti angenele izwe.

UDavide waphinda wabuza kuJehova . UJehova wamphendula wathi : Suka wehlele eKeyila, ngokuba ngiyakunikela amaFilisti esandleni sakho.

Kwathi uSawule esebuyile ekuxosheni amaFilisti , kwabikwa kuye ukuthi : Bheka, uDavide usehlane lase-Eni Gedi.

Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku amaFilisti abutha amabutho awo ukuba aphume impi no -Israyeli. U-Akhishi wathi kuDavide : Yazi nokwazi ukuthi uyakuphuma impi nami, wena nabantu bakho.

USamuweli wathi kuSawule : Unginyakaziselani ukuba ungenyuse na ? USawule waphendula wathi : Ngihluphekile kakhulu , ngokuba amaFilisti ayalwa nami ; uNkulunkulu ungishiyile , akasangiphenduli nangabaprofethi nangamaphupho; ngalokho ngikubizele ukuba ungazise ukuthi ngiyakwenze njani.

AmaFilisti abuthana afika , amisa eShunemi ; uSawule wabutha wonke u- Israyeli, wamisa eGilibowa.

AmaFilisti abutha zonke izimpi zawo e -Afeki; abakwa-Israyeli bamisa ngasemthonjeni oseJizreyeli.

UDavide wavuka ekuseni , yena nabantu bakhe , ukuba bahambe ekuseni , babuyele ezweni lamaFilisti. AmaFilisti enyukela eJizreyeli.

Amakhosi amaFilisti adlula ngamakhulu nangezinkulungwane ; uDavide nabantu bakhe badlula emuva kanye no-Akhishi.

Ngalokho buya , uhambe ngokuthula , ungenzi okubi emehlweni amakhosi amaFilisti.

AmaFilisti alwa no-Israyeli; abantu bakwa -Israyeli babaleka phambi kwamaFilisti, bawa begwaziwe entabeni yaseGilibowa.

Sebezwile abakhe eJabeshi Gileyadi lokho amaFilisti ayekwenzile kuSawule,

AmaFilisti axosha uSawule namadodana akhe ; amaFilisti abulala oJonathani, no-Abinadaba, noMaliki Shuwa, amadodana kaSawule.

Lapho abantu bakwa -Israyeli ababe ngaphesheya kwesigodi nalabo ababe ngaphesheya kweJordani bebona ukuthi abantu bakwa -Israyeli babaleka nokuthi uSawule namadodana akhe bafile, bashiya imizi, babaleka; amaFilisti afika, ahlala kuyo.

Kwathi ngangomuso , lapho amaFilisti efika ukuphanga ababuleweyo , afumana uSawule namadodana akhe omathathu bewile entabeni yaseGilibowa.

Izwi likaSamuweli lafika kuye won ke u -Israyeli. U-Israyeli waphuma ukulwa namaFilisti, wamisa ngase-Ebeni Ezeri; amaFilisti amisa e-Afeki.

AmaFilisti alwa , u-Israyeli wachithwa , babaleka, kwaba yilowo nalowo etendeni lakhe; kwaba khona ukuceka okukhulu, ngokuba kwawa ku-Israyeli abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu aba yimigundatshani.

AmaFilisti azihlela ukuhlangana no -Israyeli; impi yaqhubeka, u-Israyeli wahlulwa phambi kwamaFilisti abulala empini ngasendle kungathi abantu abayizinkulungwane ezine.

AmaFilisti esezwa umsindo wokukhamuluka athi: Uthini umsindo walokhu kukhamuluka okukhulu ekamu lamaHeberu na ? Aqonda ukuthi umphongolo kaJehova ufikile ekamu.

AmaFilisti esaba, ngokuba athi: UNkulunkulu ufikile ekamu . Athi-ke: Maye kithina! Ngokuba akuzange kube khona okunje ngaphambili.

AmaFilisti athatha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , awususa e-Ebeni Ezeri , awuyisa e-Ashidodi.

Bathuma babutha onke amakhosi amaFilisti , bathi: Wususeni umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ubuyele endlini yawo , ukuba ungasibulali thina nabantu bakithi, ngokuba kwakukhona ukungquzuka okokufa emzini wonke; isandla sikaNkulunkulu sasinzima kakhulu khona.

AmaFilisti awuthatha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , awungenisa endlini kaDagoni, awubeka ngakuye uDagoni.

Ngalokho abapristi bakaDagoni nabo bonke abangena endlini kaDagoni abanyatheli embundwini kaDagoni e-Ashidodi kuze kube namuhla. AmaFilisti ayahlushwa yisandla sikaJehova

Bathuma babuthela kubo on ke amakhosi amaFilisti , bathi: Siyakwenzani ngomphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli na ? Athi: Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli mawususelwe eGati . Bawususela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli khona.

Izinkomo zaqonda endleleni, zaya ngaseBeti Shemeshi, zahamba ngomendo, zihamba zikhala, zingaphambukeli ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo ; amakhosi amaFilisti azilandela, aze afika emkhawulweni waseBeti Shemeshi.

Amakhosi ayisihlanu amaFilisti esekubonile abuyela e-Ekroni ngalolo suku.

Lawa angamathumba egolide amaFilisti awabuyisa abe ngumnikelo wecala kuJehova: elinye ngele -Ashidodi, nelinye ngeleGaza , nelinye ngele - Ashikeloni, nelinye ngeleGati, nelinye ngele-Ekroni;

AmaFilisti abiza abapristi nababhuli , athi: Siyakwenze njani ngomphongolo kaJehova na? Saziseni ukuthi singawubuyisela kanjani endaweni yawo.

Bathuma izithunywa kwabakhileyo eKiriyati Jeharimi , bathi: AmaFilisti awubuyisele umphongolo kaJehova; yehlani, niwukhuphulele kini.

Athi: Uyakuba yini umnikelo wecala esiyakuwubuyisela kuye na ? Bathi: Amathumba ayisihlanu egolide namagundane ayisihlan u egolide njengomumo wamakhosi amaFilisti , ngokuba kuyisifo sinye esikubo bonke nakuwo amakhosi enu.

USamuweli esanikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa, amaFilisti asondela ukulwa no-Israyeli; kepha uJehova waduma ngokuduma okukhulu phezu kwamaFilisti ngalolo suku, wawangquzula, abulawa phambi kuka-Israyeli.

Abantu bakwa-Israyeli baphuma eMispa, bawaxosha amaFilisti, bawabulala, baze bafika ngaphansi eBeti Kari.

Ayesahlulwa amaFilisti , awabe esaphinda ukungena emikhawulweni ka - Israyeli; isandla sikaJehova sasimelene namaFilisti zonke izinsuku zikaSamuweli.

Imizi amaFilisti ayeyithathile ku -Israyeli yabuyiselwa ku -Israyeli, kusukela e-Ekroni kuze kube seGati; umkhawulo wayo u-Israyeli wawophula esandleni samaFilisti. Kwaba khona ukuthula phakathi kuka-Israyeli nama-Amori. USamuweli ungumahluleli

AmaFilisti esezwile ukuthi abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babuthene eMispa , amakhosi amaFilisti akhuphuka ukulwa no -Israyeli. Abantwana bakwa - Israyeli bekuzwile lokho bawesaba amaFilisti.

Wachitha amaFilisti kwaze kwaba seGaza nemikhawulo yalo , imibhoshongo yabalindi nemizi ebiyelweyo. IJerusalema lihlaselwa ngoShalimaneseri noSaneheribi

AmaFilisti athile aletha izipho kuJehoshafati , nesiliva lentela ; nabase- Arabiya baletha kuye imihlambi , izinqama eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa nezimpongo eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu ayisikhombisa.

Ningakusho eGati , ningakumemezeli ezitaladini zase -Ashikeloni, funa amadodakazi amaFilisti ajabule, namadodakazi abangasokile athokoze.

UDavide waya wathatha amathambo kaSawule namathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe kubantu baseJabeshi Gileyadi ababewebile esigcawin i saseBeti Shani , lapho, amaFilisti ayebaphanyeke khona , mhla amaFilisti embulala uSawule eGilibowa.

AmaFilisti abuye aphaka impi no -Israyeli; uDavide wehla, izinceku zakhe zinaye, balwa namaFilisti; uDavide waphela amandla.

wasuka wabulala amaFilisti saze sakhathala isandla sakhe , isandla sakhe sanamathela enkembeni ; uJehova wenza insindiso enkulu ngalolo suku ; abantu babuya emva kwakhe ukuba baphange kuphela.

Emva kwakhe kwakunguShama indodana ka -Age umHarari. AmaFilisti ayebuthene eLehi , lapho kwakukhona isiqephu sezwe esigcwele imbumba ; abantu babaleka ebusweni bamaFilisti.

Kepha wayemi phakathi nesiqephu , wasivikela, wawabulala amaFilisti ; uJehova wenza insindiso enkulu.

Emva kwakhe kwakungu -Eleyazare in dodana kaDodayi indodana yomAhohi, omunye wamaqhawe amathathu ayenoDavide mhla edelela amaFilisti ayebuthene lapho ukulwa, abantu bakwa-Israyeli sebehambile;

UDavide wayesethuma izithunywa ku -Ishi Bosheti indodana kaSawule , ethi: Nginike umkami uMikhali engammiselwa ngamajwabu ayikhulu amaFilisti.

Lapho amaFilisti esezwile ukuthi bamgcobile uDavide ukuba abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli, onke amaFilisti enyuka ukumfuna uDavide ; uDavide wakuzwa, wehlela enqabeni.

AmaFilisti esefikile ahlakazeka esiGodini samaRefa.

UDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: Ngiyakwenyuka, ngihlasele amaFilisti na? Uyakuwanikela esandleni sami na ? UJehova wathi kuDavide : Yenyuka, ngokuba ngiyakuwanikela impela amaFilisti esandleni sakho.

AmaFilisti abuye enyuka, ahlakazeka esiGodini samaRefa.

UDavide wenze njalo njengalokho uJehova emyalile , wachitha amaFilisti kusukela eGeba kuze kufike eGezeri.

Kwathi emva kwalokho uDavide wawashaya amaFilisti , wawahlula, wathatha itomu lomzimkhulu esandleni samaFilisti.

UJehova wathi kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli: Anginisindisanga yini kubo abaseGibithe, nakuwo ama-Amori, nakubo abantwana bakwa-Amoni, nakuwo amaFilisti, na?

USamsoni wehlela eT himna; wabona owesifazane eThimna wamadodakazi amaFilisti.

Wakhuphuka, wabatshela uyise nonina , wathi: Ngibonile owesifazane eThimna wamadodakazi amaFilisti ; ngalokho ngithatheleni yena abe ngumkami.

Kepha uyise nonina babengazi ukuthi lokho kwavela kuJehova , ngokuba wayefuna ithuba lokulwa namaFilisti . Ngaleso sikhathi amaFilisti ayebusa phezu kuka-Israyeli.

Abantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu bakwaJuda behlela ofantwini lwedwala lase -Etamu, bathi kuSamsoni : Awukwazi yini ukuthi amaFilisti abusa phezu kwethu na ? Kuyini, pho, lokho okwenzile kithina na ? Wathi kubo: Njengalokho benza kimi, ngenze njalo kubo.

Lapho efika eLehi , amaFilisti amhlangabeza ekhamuluka; uMoya kaJehova wafika kuye ngamandla , izintambo ezazisezingalweni zakhe zaba njengefilakisi elishiswe ngomlilo , nezibopho zakhe zancibilika , zasuka ezandleni zakhe.

Wazithungela izikhuni ngomlilo , wazivumela ukuba zingene phakathi kwamabele amaFilisti engakavunwa , washisa am aqhinqa nezinhlanga zamabele kanye nezivini neminqumo.

AmaFilisti ayesethi : Ngubani okwenzile lokho na ? Bathi: NguSamsoni, umkhwenyana wowaseThimna , ngokuba yena uthathe umkakhe , wamnika umngane wakhe. AmaFilisti akhuphuka, amshisa yena noyise ngomlilo.

AmaFilisti akhuphuka, amisa kwaJuda, ahlakazeka eLehi.

UDelila wayesethatha amagoda amasha , wambopha ngawo , wathi kuye : AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho , Samsoni. Abaqamekeli babehlezi ekamelweni eliphakathi. Wawagqabula ezingalweni zakhe njengomucwana.

Wawabethela-ke ngesikhonkwane, wathi kuye: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni. Wavuka ebuthongweni , wasincothula isikhonkwane sokweluka nezintambo zokwelukwa.

UDelila wabona ukuthi wayemtshelile yonke inhliziyo yakhe ; wathuma wawabiza amakhosi amaFilisti , wathi: Yenyukani kalokhu , ngokuba ungitshelile yonke inhliziyo yakhe . Ayesenyukela kuye amakhosi amaFilisti , aletha imali esandleni sawo.

Wathi: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni. Wavuka ebuthongweni, wathi: Ngiyakuphuma njengangezinye izikhathi , ngizithintithe. Kepha wayengazi ukuthi uJehova wayemukile kuye.

AmaFilisti ambamba, awakhipha amehlo akhe; amehlisela eGaza, ambopha ngamaketanga; wasila etilongweni.

Amakhosi amaFilisti abuthana ukuba ahlabele uDagoni unkulunkulu wawo umhlatshelo omkhulu, athokoze, ngokuba athi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele uSamsoni isitha sethu esandleni sethu.

Indlu yayigcwele abesilisa nabesifazane ; namakhosi onke amaFilisti ayelapho; ophahleni kwakukhona abantu kungathi abayizinkulungwane ezintathu, abesilisa nabesifazane, ababebukela ukudlala kukaSamsoni.

Amakhosi amaFilisti enyukela kuye , athi kuye : Myenge, ubone ukuthi amandla akhe amakhulu aphi nokuthi singamahlula ngani ukuba simbophe , simnqobe; siyakukunika, kube yilowo nalowo, izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane nekhulu zesiliva.

Amakhosi amaFilisti ayeseletha kuye izinsinga eziyisikhombisa ezimanzi ezingakomi, wambopha ngazo.

Wayenabaqamekeli behlezi ekamelweni eliphakathi . Wayesethi kuye : AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni. Wayesegqabula izinsinga njengentambo yefilakisi igqatshulwa , lapho izwa umlilo . Ngalokho amandla akhe awaziwanga.

Amakhosi ayisihlanu amaFilisti , nawo onke amaKhanani , namaSidoni, namaHivi ahlala entabeni yaseLebanoni, kusukela entabeni yaseBali Hermoni kuze kube sekuyeni eHamati.

Emva kwakhe kwafika uShamgari indodana ka -Anati owabulala kuwo amaFilisti abantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ngocijo l wenkabi; naye wasindisa u-Israyeli.

namaPatrusi, namaKasuluhi, lapho kwavela khona amaFilisti namaKafitori.

Wayenemfuyo yezimvu, nemfuyo yezinkomo, nezinceku eziningi; amaFilisti ayenomhawu ngaye.

Yonke imithombo ezaziyimbile izinceku zikayise ezinsukwini zika - Abrahama uyise, amaFilisti ayeyivalile, ayigcwalisa ngomhlabathi.

Bheka, ngase ngelulela isandla sami kuwe , nganciphisa ukudla owakunqunyelwayo, ngakunikela entandweni yabakuzondayo, amadodakazi amaFilisti, ayenamahloni ngendlela yakho yokukhanuka.

bungakambulwa ububi bakho , njengasesikhathini sehlazo lamadodakazi ase-Aramu nawo onke amadodakazi amaFilisti alihaqayo, akudumaza nxazonke.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngenxa yokuba amaFilisti enze impindiselo, ephindisele nokuphindisela ngamafundululu emphefumulweni ukuchitha ngobutha obungapheliyo,

ngenxa yosuku olufika ukuchitha onke amaFilist i nokunquma eTire naseSidoni bonke aba sizi abaseleyo , ngokuba uJehova uyakuwachitha amaFilisti, insali yesiqhingi saseKafitori.

Leli liyizwe elisasele: amazwe onke amaFilisti nawo onke amaGeshuri,

kusukela eSihori elingaphambi kweGibithe kuze kube semkhawulweni wase- Ekroni ngasenyakatho , elibalelwa kumaKhanani, amakhosi ayisihlanu amaFilisti: amaGaza, nama-Ashidodi, nama-Ashikeloni, namaGiti, nama- Ekroni, nama-Avi,
