ஓரிணைமாட்டைப் பிடித்து, துண்டித்து, அந்த ஸ்தானாபதிகள் கையிலே கொடுத்து, இஸ்ரவேலின் நாடுகளுக்கெல்லாம் அனுப்பி: சவுலின் பின்னாலேயும், சாமுவேலின் பின்னாலேயும் புறப்படாதவன் எவனோ, அவனுடைய மாடுகளுக்கு இப்படிச் செய்யப்படும் என்று சொல்லியனுப்பினான்; அப்பொழுது கர்த்தரால் உண்டான பயங்கரம் ஜனத்தின்மேல் வந்ததினால், ஒருமனப்பட்டுப் புறப்பட்டு வந்தார்கள்.
