Isikhundla sikaDavide njengoKumkani

1Emva koko uDavide wawaxabela amaFilisti, waweyisa; uDavide wayithabatha iMetegamma esandleni samaFilisti.

2Wawaxabela amaMowabhi, wawalinganisa ulutya lokulinganisa, wawawisa; nangeentambo zokulinganisa zibe mbini, ukuze usindise ubomi ngomsonto wonke. Ngoko ke amaMowabhi aba ngabakhonzi bakaDavide abazisa izipho.

3uDavide wahlala noHadade-Ezere, unyana kaRehobhi, ukumkani waseSobha, ekubuyeni kwakhe, walibuyisela ilizwe lakhe emlanjeni ongumEfrati.

4uDavide wathimba iwaka leenqwelo zokulwa, namakhulu asixhenxe abamahashe, namashumi amabini amawaka omqikela;

5Akufika ama-Aram evela eDamasko esiza kumnceda uHadade-Ezere ukumkani waseSobha, uDavide wabulala ama-Aram amashumi amabini anamabini amawaka.

6uDavide wabeka abalindi eDamasko kwelase-Aram, aza ama-Aram aba ngabakhonzi bakaDavide, abazisa izipho kuye. uYehova wamkhusela uDavide naphi na apho wayesiya khona.

7uDavide wawathabatha amakhaka egolide awayekubakhonzi bakaHadade-Ezere, wawazisa eYerusalem.

8eBheta naseBherotayi, izixeko zikaHadadezere, ukumkani uDavide wathabatha ubhedu oluninzi.

9Weva uToyi, ukumkani waseHamati, ukuba uDavide uyoyisile yonke impi kaHadade-Ezere.

10Ngoko uYehoram unyana wakhe wathumela kuKumkani uDavide ukuba ambulise aze amsikelele ngenxa yokuba wayelwe noHadadizere waza wamoyisa; ngenxa yokuba uHadadezere wayesilwa noToyi. uYoram weza neempahla zesilivere, nezegolide, nezobhedu;

11nethe ukumkani uDavide wayingcwalisela uYehova, kunye nesilivere negolide, abeyingcwalisile ezintlangeni zonke awazithimbayo;

12kuma-Aram, namaMowabhi, noonyana baka-Amon, namaFilisti, nama-Amaleki, namaxhoba kaHadade-Ezere, unyana kaRehobhi, ukumkani waseTsobha.

13uDavide wazenzela igama ekubuyeni kwakhe ekuwaxabeleni ama-Aram kwiNtlambo yeTyuwa, ishumi elinesibhozo lamawaka.

14Wamisa abalindi kwaEdom; kulo lonke elakwaEdom wabeka amadoda anamandla, yaye lonke iEdom laba ngabakhonzi bakaDavide. uYehova wamkhusela uDavide naphi na apho wayesiya khona.

15Waye engukumkani ke uDavide kumaSirayeli onke; uDavide ubesenza okusesikweni nangobulungisa ebantwini bakhe bonke.

16uYowabhi, unyana kaTseruya, ubephethe umkhosi; nguYoshafati unyana ka-Akiludi, obephethe;

17uTsadoki unyana ka-Ahitubhi, noAhimeleki, unyana ka-Abhiyatare, babengababingeleli; uSeraya ubengumbhali;

18uBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada wayephethe amaKrete namaPleti; yaye oonyana bakaDavide babeziintloko.
