14 Na Saul somaa abɔfo sɛ wɔnkɔfa Dawid mmra, nanso ne yere kae sɛ: “Ɔyare.”
15 Ɛnna Saul san somaa abɔfo no sɛ wɔnkɔ Dawid hɔ, na ɔkae sɛ: “Monkɔfa ɔne mpa no mmrɛ me, na minkum no.”+
16 Abɔfo no kɔɔ hɔ no, wɔkɔtoo sɛ terafim honi* na ɛda mpa no so, na ntama a wɔde apɔnkye nwi ayɛ gu baabi a ne kunu de ne ti to no.
17 Ɛnna Saul bisaa Mikal sɛ: “Adɛn nti na woadaadaa me na woama me tamfo+ aguan kɔ?” Na Mikal buaa Saul sɛ: “Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Ma menkɔ, anyɛ saa a, mekum wo!’”
18 Dawid de, otuu mmirika guanee, na ɔkɔɔ Samuel nkyɛn wɔ Rama+ kɔkaa nea Saul de ayɛ no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no. Ɛnna ɔne Samuel fii hɔ kɔtenaa Naiot.+
19 Akyiri yi, nkurɔfo kɔbɔɔ Saul amanneɛ sɛ: “Hwɛ! Dawid kɔ Naiot wɔ Rama.”
20 Ntɛm ara na Saul somaa abɔfo sɛ wɔnkɔkyere Dawid mmra. Bere a wohuu adiyifo mpanyimfo no sɛ wɔrehyɛ nkɔm na Samuel gyina hɔ rehwɛ wɔn so no, Onyankopɔn honhom baa Saul abɔfo no so, na wɔn nso yɛɛ wɔn ade te sɛ adiyifo.
