There was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, "It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites."
Ke kwabakho indlala ngemihla kaDavide iminyaka yamithathu, umnyaka ngomnyaka. UDavide wafuna ubuso bukaYehova. Wathi uYehova, Kungenxa kaSawule, nangenxa yendlu yamagazi akhe, ngenxa enokuba wabulala abaseGibheyon.
