Noyudo jo-Israel odhi kedo gi jo-Filistia. Jo-Israel ne ogo kambi Ebeneza to jo-Filistia to nogo kambi Afek. 2 Jo-Filistia noyaro ne lweny mondo orom gi jo-Israel, kendo lweny nolandore. Jo-Israel ne olo gi jo-Filistia mine ginego ji madirom alufu angʼwen e paw lweny. 3 Kane jolweny odwogo e kambi, jodong Israel nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye oseweyo jo-Filistia oloyowa kawuononi?
