3 UDavide wamnqoba uHadadezeri, indodana kaRehobhe, inkosi yaseZobha, ngesikhathi ephumele ukuyobuyisa umbuso wakhe ngasemfuleni iYufrathe. 4 UDavide wathumba abamahhashi abayi-1 700, nemigundatshani eyizi-20 000; uDavide wanquma imisipha yawo wonke amahhashi ayedonsa izinqola, washiya kuphela ayikhulu.

UHadadezeri wayevamise ukulwa noThoyi. UJoramu wayephethe izinto ezenziwe ngesiliva, ngegolide, nangethusi.
