Context
21Yule mwanamke alipomwendea Sauli na kumwona amepatwa na hofu, akamwambia, “Tazama, mimi mtumishi wako mwanamke nimekutii. Nimeweka maisha yangu hatarini kwa kufanya kile ulichoniagiza nifanye. 22Sasa tafadhali isikilize sauti ya mtumishi wako, uniruhusu nikupatie chakula kidogo ule ili uwe na nguvu za kurejea ulikotoka.” 23Akakataa, akisema, “Mimi sitaki kula.”
Lakini watumishi wake wakaungana na yule mwanamke wakamsihi ale, naye akakubali. Basi akainuka hapo chini, akaketi juu ya kitanda. 24Yule mwanamke alikuwa na ndama aliyenona hapo nyumbani, akamchinja mara moja. Akachukua unga, akaukanda, akatengeneza mkate usio chachu. 25Ndipo akamwandalia meza Sauli pamoja na watu wake, nao wakala. Usiku ule ule wakainuka na kwenda zao.
