¹³ Kenle ko bie, wɔ ɛvolɛ mɔɔ bo 3,000 mɔɔ ɛze ɛhɔ la, Gyihova zele ngapezonli Samoɛle mɔɔ ɛnyi la kɛ: “Ɛhyema, bekezɛ ala, mebamaa nrenya bie mɔɔ vi Bɛngyaman abusua ekpunli ne anu la ara ɛ nwo ɛke. Kpokpa ye nwole kɛ ɔli belemgbunli ɔzie me menli Yizilayɛma.” (1 Samoɛle 9:15, 16) Samoɛle nwunle kɛ ɔnrɛli Yizilayɛ maanle ne anyunlu bieko na Gyihova kpondɛ kɛ ɔkpa kpanyinli fofolɛ. Yemɔti amaa Samoɛle aziezie nrenyia zɔhane amaa gyima fofolɛ ne la, ɔvale adwenle bie.

¹⁴ Aleɛ hyenle la, Samoɛle yiale Sɔɔlo, na Gyihova zele ngapezonli ne kɛ: “Nrenya ne mɔɔ menganle ye edwɛkɛ la, yemɔ ɛne.” Ɛkɛ ne ala, Samoɛle yɛle mɔɔ wɔ ye adwenle nu la.
