1 IziKronike 11 UDavida wenza isivumelwano labadala

¹ Wonke u-Israyeli wabuthana kuDavide eHebroni, wathi: “Bheka, siyithambo lakho nenyama yakho.

² Futhi nasendulo, lapho uSawule eseyinkosi, nguwe owawukhipha u-Israyeli futhi ungenisa;

³ Ngalokho onke amalunga akwa-Israyeli eza enkosini eHebroni; uDavide wenza isivumelwano nabo eHebroni phambi kukaJehova; bamgcoba uDavide abe yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli njengezwi likaJehova ngesandla sikaSamuweli.

⁴ UDavide naye wonke u-Israyeli baya eJerusalema eliyiJebusi; lapho ayekhona amaJebusi, ayakhe kulelo zwe.

⁵ Abakhileyo eJebusi bathi kuDavide: “Awuyikuza lapha. Nokho, uDavide wathatha inqaba yaseSiyoni, engumuzi kaDavide.

⁶ UDavida wasesithi: Onqoba amaJebusi kuqala uzakuba yinhloko lombusi. Ngakho uJowabe indodana kaSeruya wenyuka kuqala, waba yinhloko.

⁷ UDavide wahlala enqabeni; ngalokho bawubiza ngokuthi umuzi kaDavide.

⁸ Wakha umuzi nxazonke kusukela eMilo nxazonke, uJowabe walungisa okuseleyo komuzi.

⁹ UDavide waqhubeka eba mkhulu ngokuba mkhulu, ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti wayenaye.

¹⁰ Laba babe yizinhloko zamaqhawe uDavide ayenazo, aziqinisa naye embusweni wakhe kanye no-Israyeli wonke ukumbeka inkosi njengezwi likaJehova ngo-Israyeli.

¹¹ Lesi yisibalo samaqhawe kaDavide; uJasobham, umHagimoni, inhloko yezikhulu; waphakamisela umkhonto wakhe phezu kwamakhulu amathathu abawahlula kanyekanye.

¹² Emva kwakhe kwakungu-Eleyazare indodana kaDodo umAhohi owayengomunye wamaqhawe amathathu.

¹³ WayenoDavide ePhasi-Damimi; amaFilisti ayebuthene khona ukulwa, lapho isiqinti sezwe sasigcwele ibhali; abantu babaleka phambi kwamaFilisti.

¹⁴ Bazifaka phakathi kwaleyo mpahla, bayinikela, bawabulala amaFilisti; uJehova wabakhulula ngokusindisa okukhulu.

¹⁵ Kwehla abathathu kwabayizikhulu ezingamashumi amathathu, baya etsheni kuDavide emhumeni wase-Adulamu; impi yamaFilisti yayikanise esigodini samaRefa.

¹⁶ UDavide wayesenqabeni, nempi yamaFilisti ngaleso sikhathi yayiseBetlehema.

¹⁷ UDavide walangazelela, wathi: “O, uma umuntu bengiyakungiphuzisa amanzi omthombo waseBetlehema ongasesangweni!

¹⁸ Labo abathathu bafohla impi yamaFilisti, baka amanzi emthonjeni waseBhetelehem owawusesangweni, bawathatha, bawayisa kuDavide; kepha uDavide akavumanga ukuwaphuza, wawathululela kuJehova;

¹⁹ wathi: “Makube kude noNkulunkulu wami ukuba ngenze lokho; ngiyakuphuza igazi lalaba bantu ababeka ukuphila kwabo engozini na? ngoba baletha ukuphila kwabo engozini. Yingakho engafuni ukuwaphuza. Lezi zinto zenza lezi zinto ezintathu ngamandla amakhulu.

²⁰ U-Abishayi umfowabo kaJowabe wayeyinhloko yabathathu;

²¹ Kulaba abathathu wayetusekile kunalaba ababili; ngoba wayengumbusi wabo; kodwa akafinyelelanga kwabathathu bokuqala.

²² UBenaya indodana kaJoyada indodana yendoda enesibindi waseKabiseyeli, owenza izenzo eziningi; wabulala izingonyama ezimbili zakwaMowabi; wehla, wabulala ingonyama emphandwini ngosuku lweqhwa.

²³ Wabulala nowaseGibithe, umuntu omude, eyizingalo eziyisihlanu; esandleni sowaseGibithe kwakukhona umkhonto onjengogongolo lomaluki; wehlela kuye ephethe induku, wahlwitha umkhonto esandleni sowaseGibithe, wambulala ngomkhonto wakhe.

²⁴ UBenaya indodana kaJoyada wenze njalo, waba negama phakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.

²⁵ Bheka, wayetuseka phakathi kwabangamashumi amathathu, kepha akafikanga kwabathathu bokuqala; uDavide wammisa phezu kwabalindi bakhe.
