Context
23Watumishi wa Sauli wakarudia hayo maneno kwa Daudi. Lakini Daudi akasema, “Je, mnafikiri ni jambo dogo kuwa mkwewe mfalme? Mimi ni mtu maskini tu, na nisiyejulikana sana.” 24Watumishi wa Sauli walipomweleza yale Daudi aliyoyasema, 25Sauli akajibu, “Mwambieni Daudi, ‘Mfalme hataki zawadi nyingine kuwa mahari isipokuwa magovi 100 ya Wafilisti, ili kulipiza kisasi juu ya adui zake.’ ” Mawazo ya Sauli yalikuwa Daudi akaanguke mikononi mwa Wafilisti. 26Watumishi walipomwambia Daudi mambo haya, ikampendeza kuwa mkwewe mfalme. Basi kabla siku iliyopangwa haijafika, 27Daudi na watu wake walitoka na kuwaua Wafilisti mia mbili. Akayaleta magovi yao na kupeleka hesabu kamilifu kwa mfalme, ili kwamba apate kuwa mkwewe mfalme. Ndipo Sauli akamwoza Daudi Mikali binti yake.
