1Zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli zafika kuDavide eHebroni, zakhuluma zathi: “Bheka, siyithambo lakho nenyama yakho.
2Nakudala uSawule eseyinkosi phezu kwethu, nguwe owakhipha u-Israyeli, wabangenisa; uJehova wathi kuwe: ‘Kumelwe unakekele abantu bami u-Israyeli, futhi wena kumelwe ube umbusi phezu kuka-Israyeli.
3Ayesefika onke amadoda amakhulu akwa-Israyeli enkosini eHebroni; inkosi uDavide yenza isivumelwano nawo eHebroni phambi kukaJehova, amgcoba uDavide abe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli.
4UDavide wayeneminyaka engamashumi amathathu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amane.
5EHebroni wabusa phezu kukaJuda iminyaka eyisikhombisa nezinyanga eziyisithupha; eJerusalema wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nantathu phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke noJuda.
6Inkosi nabantu bayo baya eJerusalema kumaJebusi akhileyo kulelo zwe, bakhuluma kuDavide, bathi: “Uma ungabasusi abayizimpumputhe nezinyonga, aniyikungena lapha;
7Kepha uDavide wayithumba inqaba yaseSiyoni; kungumuzi kaDavide.
8UDavide wathi ngalolo suku: “Yilowo nalowo ogibela umgodi wokugwedla, abulale amaJebusi, nezinyonga, nezimpumputhe, ezondwa umphefumulo kaDavide, yena abe yinhloko nenduna; Ngakho bathi: “Izimpumputhe nezinyonga abayikungena endlini.”
9UDavide wahamba wayohlala enqabeni, wayibiza ngokuthi umuzi kaDavide. UDavide wakha inhlangothi zonke, ethabathela eMilo nangaphakathi.
10UDavide waqhubeka ekhula, futhi uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti wayenaye.
11UHiramu inkosi yaseTire wathuma izithunywa kuDavide, nemisedari, nababazi, nabakhi, bamakhela uDavide indlu.
12UDavida wasebona ukuthi uJehova wayemmisile ukuthi abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli lokuthi wawuphakamisile umbuso wakhe ngenxa yabantu bakhe uIsrayeli.
13UDavide wathatha ezinye izancinza nabesifazane eJerusalema ngemva kokufika kwakhe evela eHebroni, uDavide wazalelwa amadodana namadodakazi amaningi.
14Lawa angamagama abazalelwa wona eJerusalema; oSamuwa noShobabi noNathani noSolomoni,
15noJibhari, no-Elishuwa, noNefegi, noJafiya,
16no-Elishama no-Eliyada no-Elifeleti.
17Kwathi amaFilisti esezwile ukuthi bamgcobile uDavida abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, wonke amaFilisti enyuka ukumdinga uDavida; uDavide wezwa, wehlela entabeni enqabeni.
18AmaFilisti afika, ahlakazeka esigodini samaRefa.
19UDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: “Ngenyukele kumaFilisti na? uzowanikela esandleni sami na? UJehova wathi kuDavide: “Sukuma, ngokuba ngiyakuwanikela nokuwanikela amaFilisti esandleni sakho.
20UDavide wafika eBali Pherasimi, uDavide wawachitha khona, wathi: “UJehova wafohla phambi kwami njengomfula phezu kwezitha zami; ngalokho wabiza leyo ndawo ngokuthi iBali-Pherasimi.
21Ashiya izithombe zawo lapho, uDavide nabantu bakhe bazishisa.
22AmaFilisti abuye akhuphuka, ahlakazeka esigodini samaRefa.
23UDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: “Awunakukhuphuka; kodwa zungeza ngemva kwabo, ufike phezu kwabo phezu kwezihlahla zamabhamuli.
24Kuzakuthi-ke uma uzwa umsindo wokusunduza ezihlokweni zezihlahla zikamalibhele, uzijabulise; ngokuba lapho uJehova uyakuphuma phambi kwakho ukuba ahlule impi yamaFilisti.
25UDavide wenza njengalokho uJehova emyalile; wanqoba amaFilisti kusukela eGeba kwaze kwaba seGezeri.
