UDavida ukhuluma amazwi akhe awaphiwa nguMoya
1Lawa angamazwi okugcina kaDavide. Wathi uDavide, indodana kaJese, umuntu waphakama phezulu, ogcotshiweyo kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, nomhubi omnandi ka-Israyeli, wathi:
2UMoya kaJehova wakhuluma ngami, nezwi lakhe lalisolimini lwami.
3UNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli wathi: Idwala likaIsrayeli lakhuluma kimi, lathi: Obusa abantu uzakuba ngolungileyo, abuse ngokumesaba uNkulunkulu.
4Uyakuba njengokukhanya kokusa ekuphumeni kwelanga, njengokusa okungenamafu; njengotshani obuthambile obumila emhlabeni ngokukhazimula ngokukhazimulayo ngemva kwemvula.
5Lanxa indlu yami kayinjalo kuNkulunkulu; nokho wenza nami isivumelwano esiphakade, esiqondileyo nesiqinisekileyo kukho konke; ngokuba lokhu kuyinsindiso yami yonke kanye nesifiso sami sonke, noma engakhulisi.
6Kodwa amadodana kaBheliyali wonke azakuba njengameva aqhutshelwa khatshana, ngoba awanakubanjwa ngezandla.
7Kodwa umuntu ozithintayo kumelwe abiyelwe ngensimbi nangothi lomkhonto; ziyakushiswa ngomlilo kuleyo ndawo.
8Lawa angamagama amaqhawe kaDavide: UmThahemoni, owayehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, inhloko yezikhulu; kwakungu-Adino, umEsnite; yena waphakamisela umkhonto wakhe phezu kwabangamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili wababulala kanyekanye.
9Ngemva kwakhe kwakukhona u-Eleyazare indodana kaDodo umAhohi, omunye wamaqhawe amathathu ayenoDavide, lapho bephikisana namaFilisti ayelapho ukuba alwe, futhi abantu bakwa-Israyeli bahamba.
10Wasukuma wawahlula amaFilisti, saze sakhathala isandla sakhe, sanamathela enkembeni; uJehova wenza insindiso enkulu ngalolo suku; amadoda abuya emva kwakhe ukuyophanga kuphela.
11Emva kwakhe kwakunguShama indodana ka-Age umHarari. AmaFilisti abuthana njengeviyo, lapho isiqephu sezwe sasigcwele udali; abantu babaleka phambi kwamaFilisti.
12Kepha wema phakathi nezwe, walivikela, wawabulala amaFilisti; uJehova wenza insindiso enkulu.
13Kwehla abathathu kwabayizikhulu ezingamashumi amathathu, beza kuDavide ngesikhathi sokuvuna emhumeni wase-Adulamu;
14UDavide wayesenqabeni yamaFilisti ngaleso sikhathi;
15UDavide walangazelela, wathi: “Awu, uma umuntu ebengangiphuzisa amanzi omthombo waseBetlehema osesangweni!
16Lawo maqhawe amathathu afohla impi yamaFilisti, akha amanzi emthonjeni waseBetlehema owawusesangweni, awathatha, awaletha kuDavide; kepha akavumanga ukuwaphuza, wawathululela kuJehova.
17Wathi: “Makube kude nami, Jehova, ukuba ngenze lokhu; akulona igazi lamadoda ahamba ngokuphila kwawo engozini na?” ngalokho akathandanga ukuwaphuza. Lezo zinto azenza lawa madoda amathathu anamandla.
18U-Abishayi umfowabo kaJowabe indodana kaSeruya wayeyinhloko yabathathu. Yena waphakamisela abangamakhulu amathathu umkhonto wakhe, wababulala, waba negama phakathi kwabathathu.
19Wayengadunyiswa kakhulu kunabathathu na? ngakho-ke wayengumbusi wabo; kodwa akafinyelelanga kwabathathu bokuqala.
20UBenaya, indodana kaJehoyada, indodana yendoda enesibindi, waseKabiseyeli, owenza izenzo eziningi, wabulala abantu ababili bakwaMowabi abanjengezingonyama;
21Wabulala nowaseGibithe, indoda ebukekayo; umGibhithe wayenomkhonto esandleni sakhe; kepha wehlela kuye ephethe intonga, wahlwitha umkhonto esandleni sowaseGibithe, wambulala ngomkhonto wakhe.
22Lokhu kwenziwa nguBhenaya indodana kaJoyada, futhi wayenegama phakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.
23Wayehloniphekile kunabangamashumi amathathu, kodwa akafinyelelanga kwabathathu bokuqala. UDavide wammisa phezu kwabalindi bakhe.
24U-Asaheli umfowabo kaJowabe wayengomunye wabangamashumi amathathu; u-Elihanani indodana kaDodo waseBetlehema,
25noSama umHarodi, no-Elika umHarodi,
