Izikhulu zabantwana bakwa-Amoni zabuyisela izinceku zikaDavide ngokuthuka
1Emva kwalokho wafa ukumkani woonyana baka-Amoni, uHanuni unyana wakhe waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
2UDavida wasesithi: Ngizamenzela umusa uHanuni indodana kaNahashi, njengoba uyise wangenzela umusa. UDavide wathumela ngesandla sezinceku zakhe ukumduduza ngoyise. Izinceku zikaDavide zafika ezweni labantwana bakwa-Amoni.
3Izikhulu zabantwana bakwa-Amoni zathi kuHanuni inkosi yazo: “Ingabe ucabanga ukuthi uDavide uyamdumisa uyihlo lokhu ethumele abaduduzi kuwe na? UDavide akazithumanga yini kuwe izinceku zakhe ukuba ziwuhlole umuzi, ziwuhlole, ziwuchithe na?
4Ngakho uHanuni wabamba izinceku zikaDavide, waphucula ingxenye yesilevu sazo, wasika izingubo zazo phakathi kwaze kwafika ezinqeni zazo, wazimukisa.
5Lapho bemtshela uDavide, wathumela ukuwahlangabeza, ngokuba amadoda ayenamahloni kakhulu; inkosi yathi: Hlalani eJeriko, zize zihlume izindevu zenu, bese nibuya.
6Babona oonyana baka-Amoni ukuthi bazinukisile phambi kukaDavide, oonyana baka-Amoni bathumela baqasha ama-Aram aseBetirehobhi nama-Aram aseTsobha, amadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili angumqikela;
7UDavide esezwile lokho wamthuma uJowabe nayo yonke impi yamaqhawe.
8Abantwana bakwa-Amoni baphuma, bahlela impi ekungeneni kwesango; ama-Aramu aseSoba, naseRehobe, naseJistobi, naseMahaga ayeyedwa endle.
9Lapho uJowabe ebona ukuthi impi yayiphambi kwakhe ngaphambili nangasemuva, wakhetha kubo bonke abakhethiweyo bakwa-Israyeli, wabahlela ngokumelene nama-Aramu.
10Abanye abantu wabanikela esandleni sika-Abishayi umfowabo, ukuze abamise ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.
11Wathi: “Uma ama-Aramu engihlula, uyakungisiza; kepha uma abantwana bakwa-Amoni benamandla kunawe, ngiyakuza, ngikusize;
12Qinani, masibe nesibindi ngenxa yabantu bakithi nangenxa yemizi kaNkulunkulu wethu, uJehova enze lokho akubona kufanele.
13UJowabe namadoda ayenaye basondela ukulwa nama-Aramu, abaleka phambi kwakhe.
14Lapho abantwana bakwa-Amoni bebona ukuthi ama-Aramu ayabaleka, babaleka nabo phambi kuka-Abishayi, bangena emzini. UJowabe wabuya kubantwana bakwa-Amoni, wafika eJerusalema.
15Ama-Aramu abona ukuthi anqotshiwe phambi kuka-Israyeli, abuthana ndawonye.
16UHadadezeri wathumela wakhipha ama-Aramu ayengaphesheya koMfula, afika eHelamu; uShobagi, induna yempi kaHadadezeri, waphuma phambi kwabo.
17Lapho uDavide etshelwa, wabutha wonke u-Israyeli wawela iJordani wafika eHelamu. Ama-Aramu azihlela ukuhlangabezana noDavide, alwa naye.
18Ama-Aramu abaleka phambi kuka-Israyeli; uDavide wabulala kuma-Aramu izinqola ezingamakhulu ayisikhombisa nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane, wabulala noSobagi induna yempi, wafela khona.
19Lapho wonke amakhosi, izinceku zikaHadadezeri, ebona ukuthi anqotshiwe phambi kuka-Israyeli, enza ukuthula no-Israyeli, abakhonza. Ngakho ama-Aramu esaba ukusiza abantwana bakwa-Amoni futhi.
