1Ekuthwaseni komnyaka ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwamakhosi, uDavida wathuma uJowabi kanye lenceku zakhe, loIsrayeli wonke, bahlasela amaAmoni, bavimbezela iRaba. Kodwa yena wasala eJerusalema.
22Sasesihambake isithunywa, safika sambikela uDavida konke esasikuthunywe nguJowabi. UDavida wamthukuthelela uJowabi, wathi esithunyweni: Belisondelelani kangaka emzini ukulwa na? Belingazi yini ukuthi bebezakuciba besemdulini na? Ngubani owabulala uAbimeleki indodana kaJerubeshethi na? Angithi owesifazana othile ephezu komduli wamjikijela ngembokodo, wafa eThebezi na? Lisondeleleni kangaka eduze lomduli na?
23Isithunywa sathi kuDavida: Abantu basihlanganyela, basiphumela ngaphandle; kodwa sabadudula kwaze kwaba sesangweni.
24Abemitshoko bephezu komduli baciba inceku zakho; zifile ezinye inceku zenkosi; ifile lenceku yakho uUriya umHethi.
25UDavida wasesithi kuso isithunywa: Uzamtshela uJowabi, uthi: Lokho kungakuhluphi, ngoba umkhonto udla lo lalowana; uwuhlasele uqinise umuzi, uwuchithe: ubusummisa isibindi.
26Lapho umkaUriya esezwile ukuthi uUriya indoda yakhe ufile, wayililela indoda yakhe.
27Sekuphelile ukulila, uDavida wambiza, wamletha endlini yakhe; waba ngumkakhe, wamzalela indodana. Kodwa leyonto eyenziwa nguDavida yayimbi eNkosini.
