4 Koma akalonga a Afilisti anapsa naye mtima; nanena naye akalonga a Afilisti, Bwezani munthuyu, abwerere kumalo kwake kumene munamuikako, asatsikire nafe kunkhondo, kuti kunkhondoko angasanduke mdani wathu; pakuti uyu adzadziyanjanitsa ninji ndi mfumu yake? Si ndi mitu ya anthu awa?
5 Uyu si Davide kodi amene anamthirirana mang’ombe m’magulu ao, kuti,
