¹ Emva kwalokho uDavida wawatshaya amaFilisti, wawanqoba, walithumba iGathi lemizi yalo esandleni samaFilisti.

² Wanqoba uMowabi; abakwaMowabi baba yizinceku zikaDavide, baletha izipho.

³ UDavide wamshaya uHadadezeri, inkosi yaseSoba, kwaze kwaba seHamati, ekuyeni kwakhe ukuqinisa umbuso wakhe ngasemfuleni u-Ewufrathe.

⁴ UDavide wamaphuca izinqola eziyinkulungwane nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, nemigundatshani eyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili;

⁵ Lapho ama-Aramu efika evela eDamaseku ukusiza uHadadezeri inkosi yaseSoba, uDavide wabulala kuma-Aramu abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili.

⁶ UDavide wabeka abalindi e-Aramu; ama-Aramu aba yizinceku zikaDavide aletha izipho. Ngakho uJehova wamvikela uDavida yonke indawo ayeya kuyo.

⁷ UDavide wathatha izihlangu zegolide ezaziphezu kwezinceku zikaHadadezeri, waziletha eJerusalema.

⁸ Ngokufanayo, uDavide waletha ithusi eliningi eThibhati naseKhuni, imizi yaseHadadezeri, uSolomoni enza ngayo ulwandle lwethusi, nezinsika, nezinto zethusi.

⁹ Kwathi uThowu inkosi yaseHamati esezwile ukuthi uDavida utshaye impi yonke kaHadadezeri inkosi yeZoba;

¹⁰ Wathuma indodana yakhe uHadoramu enkosini uDavide ukuba ibuze ukuphila kwayo nokuyihalalisela, ngokuba yalwa noHadarezeri, yamnqoba; (ngokuba uHadadezeri walwa emelene neTowu) enezinhlobo zonke zezitsha zegolide nezesiliva nezethusi.

¹¹ Inkosi uDavide nayo yangcwelisela uJehova kanye nesiliva negolide eyalikhipha kuzo zonke lezi zizwe; kwa-Edomi, nakuMowabi, nakubantwana bakwa-Amoni, nakumaFilisti, naku-Amaleki.

¹² U-Abishayi indodana kaSeruya wakwa-Edomi esiGodini sikaSawoti wabulala izinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili.

¹³ Wamisa abalindi kwa-Edomi; bonke abakwa-Edomi baba yizinceku zikaDavide. Ngakho uJehova wamvikela uDavida yonke indawo ayeya kuyo.

¹⁴ UDavide wabusa phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke, wenza ubulungisa nokulunga phakathi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe.

¹⁵ UJowabe indodana kaSeruya wayephezu kwempi; noJehoshafati, indodana ka-Ahiludi, umbusi.

¹⁶ USadoki, indodana ka-Ahithubi, no-Abimeleki, indodana ka-Abiyathara, babengabapristi; futhi uShavasha wayengumlobi;

¹⁷ UBenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephezu kwamaKreti namaPheleti; amadodana kaDavide ayeyinhloko yenkosi.
