Abakwa-Amoni bathuka izithunywa zikaDavide
1Emva kwalokho wafa uNahashe inkosi yoonyana baka-Amoni, indodana yakhe yaba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
2UDavida wasesithi: Ngizamenzela umusa uHanuni indodana kaNahashi, ngoba uyise wangenzela umusa. UDavide wayesethuma izithunywa ukumduduza ngoyise. Zase zifika izinceku zikaDavide ezweni labantwana bakwa-Amoni eHanuni ukumduduza.
3Kepha izikhulu zabantwana bakwa-Amoni zathi kuHanuni: “Ingabe ucabanga ukuthi uDavide uyamdumisa uyihlo lokhu ethumele abaduduzi kuwe na? Izinceku zakhe azifikanga yini kini ukuhlola izwe, nokuchitha, nokuhlola na?
4Ngakho uHanuni wabamba izinceku zikaDavide, waziphuca, wasika izingubo zazo phakathi kuze kube sezinqeni zazo, wazimukisa.
5Khona-ke abanye abantu bahamba bamtshela uDavide ngokukhonzwa kwamadoda. Wathumela ukuwahlangabeza, ngokuba amadoda ayenamahloni kakhulu. Inkosi yasisithi: Hlalani eJeriko zize zikhule intshebe zenu, beselibuya.
6Lapho abantwana bakwa-Amoni bebona ukuthi bamenze isinengiso uDavide, uHanuni nabantwana bakwa-Amoni bathumela amatalenta ayinkulungwane esiliva ukubaqasha izinqola nabamahhashi eMesophothamiya nase-Aramu-Maga naseSoba.
7Base beqasha izinqola eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nambili kanye nenkosi yaseMahaga nabantu bayo; owafika wamisa inkamba phambi kweMedeba. Abantwana bakwa-Amoni babuthana emizini yabo, beza empini.
8UDavide esezwile lokho wamthuma uJowabe nayo yonke impi yamaqhawe.
9Abantwana bakwa-Amoni baphuma bahlela impi phambi kwesango lomuzi, amakhosi afika eyedwa endle.
10UJowabe esebonile ukuthi impi imelene naye ngaphambili nangasemuva, wakhetha kubo bonke abakhethiweyo bakwa-Israyeli, wabahlela ukuba balwe nama-Aramu.
11Abantu abaseleyo wabanikela esandleni sika-Abishayi umfowabo, bahlela ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.
12Wathi: “Uma ama-Aramu engihlula, uyakungisiza; kepha uma abantwana bakwa-Amoni benamandla kunawe, mina ngiyakukusiza.
13Qinani, masibe nesibindi ngenxa yabantu bakithi nangenxa yemizi kaNkulunkulu wethu, uJehova enze okuhle emehlweni akhe.
14UJowabe namadoda ayenaye base besondela phambi kwama-Aramu emva kokulwa; basebebaleka phambi kwakhe.
15Lapho abantwana bakwa-Amoni bebona ukuthi ama-Aramu ayabaleka, babaleka nabo phambi kuka-Abhishayi umfowabo, bangena emzini. UJowabe wayesefika eJerusalema.
16Ama-Aramu esebonile ukuthi ahlulwe phambi kuka-Israyeli, athuma izithunywa, zawakhipha ama-Aramu ayephesheya koMfula; uSofagi induna yebutho likaHadadezeri waphuma phambi kwabo.
17Kwabikwa kuDavide; wabutha wonke u-Israyeli, wawela iJordani, wababulala, walwa nabo. Lapho uDavide elwa nama-Aramu, alwa naye.
18Kepha ama-Aramu abaleka phambi kuka-Israyeli; uDavide wabulala kuma-Aramu amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa abehamba ngezinqola, namashumi amane ayizinkulungwane eziyimigundatshani, wabulala noSofagi induna yempi.
19Lapho izinceku zikaHadadezeri zibona ukuthi zinolaka phambi kuka-Israyeli, zenza ukuthula noDavide, zaba yizinceku zakhe; ama-Aramu awabange esabasiza abantwana bakwa-Amoni.
