Dhavidhi alemba: “Anthu a mphambvu ali kusaka kundipha.” (Sal. 54:3; 1 Sam. 26:1-5) Thangwi yanji maonero a Yonatani kuna Dhavidhi akhali akusiyana kakamwe na a Abineri? Thangwi mwakusiyana na Abineri, Yonatani akhali wakukhulupirika kuna Yahova na wakucepeseka. Abineri akhadziwa kuti Dhavidhi akhadasankhulwa toera kukhala mambo wa Israele. Pidafa Sauli, Abineri akhafunika kuphedzera Dhavidhi, mbwenye iye aphedzera Isiboseti mwana wa Sauli.
