¹ Kwathi uDavida labantu bakhe befika eZikilagi ngosuku lwesithathu, ama-Amaleki ahlasela eningizimu leZikilagi, anqoba iZikilagi, ayitshisa ngomlilo;

² Bathumba abesifazane ababekulo beyiziboshwa;

³ UDavide nabantu bakhe bangena emzini, bheka, wawushisiwe ngomlilo; omkabo namadodana abo namadodakazi abo bathunjwa.

⁴ UDavide namadoda ayenaye baphakamisa amazwi abo, bakhala, baze bangabe besaba namandla okukhala.

⁵ Nabafazi bakaDavide ababili bathunjwa, u-Ahinohama waseJizreyeli no-Abigayili umkaNabali waseKarmeli.

⁶ UDavide wacindezeleka kakhulu; ngoba abantu babekhuluma ukumkhanda ngamatshe, ngoba imiphefumulo yabantu bonke yayinomunyu, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngenxa yamadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe; kepha uDavide waziqinisa ngoJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

⁷ UDavide wayesethi ku-Abiyathara, umpristi, indodana ka-Ahimeleki, ngilethe lapha ingubo yamahlombe. U-Abiyathara wayeselethela uDavide khona ingubo yamahlombe.

⁸ UDavide wabuza kuJehova, wathi: “Ngixoshe leliviyo na? ngiyakubafica, wathi kuye: “Xosha, ngokuba uyakuwafica nokuwafica, ubuyise konke ngaphandle kokulibala.

⁹ UDavide wahamba, yena namadoda angamakhulu ayisithupha ayenaye, bafika emfudlaneni iBesori, lapho abasala khona.

¹⁰ Kepha uDavide waxosha, yena namadoda angamakhulu amane, ngokuba abangamakhulu amabili basala ngemuva, bekhathele bengenakuwela umfudlana iBesori.

¹¹ Bafumana owaseGibithe endle, bamyisa kuDavide, bamnika isinkwa, wadla; bamphuzisa amanzi;

¹² Basebemnika ucezu lweqebelengwane lomkhiwane nezigaxa ezimbili zezithelo zomvini ezomileyo; esedlile umoya wakhe wabuyela kuye, ngokuba wayengadlanga sinkwa, engaphuzanga manzi izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu.

¹³ UDavida wasesithi kuye: Ungokabani? kanti ungowaphi? Wathi: “NgingowaseGibithe, inceku yomAmaleki; inkosi yami ingishiyile, ngokuba ezinsukwini ezintathu ezedlule ngigula.

¹⁴ Sahlasela eningizimu yamaKrethe, nasogwini lwakwaJuda, naseningizimu yakwaKalebi; sayishisa iSikilagi ngomlilo.

¹⁵ UDavida wasesithi kuye: Ungangehlisela kulesixuku? Wathi: “Funga kimi ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi awuyikungibulala, unganginikele esandleni senkosi yami, ngikwehlisele kulesi sixuku;

¹⁶ Lapho emehlisa, bheka, babehlakazekile emhlabeni wonke, bedla, bephuza, besina ngenxa yayo yonke impango enkulu ababeyithathile ezweni lamaFilisti nasezweni lakwaJuda.

¹⁷ UDavide wababulala kusukela kusihlwa kwaze kwaba kusihlwa ngangomuso, akwaphunyuka muntu kubo, kuphela izinsizwa ezingamakhulu amane ezazigibele amakamela, zabaleka.

¹⁸ UDavide wakhulula konke ama-Amaleki ayekuthathile, uDavide wasindisa nabafazi bakhe ababili.

¹⁹ Abaswelanga lutho, encane noma enkulu, amadodana noma amadodakazi, nempango nanoma yini abazithathela yona; UDavid wathola konke.

²⁰ UDavide wathatha zonke izimvu nezinkomo abazixosha phambi kwezinye izinkomo, wathi: “Le yimpango kaDavide.”

²¹ UDavida wasefika ebantwini abangamakhulu amabili ababediniwe njalo bengelakulandela uDavida, abahlalisa emfuleni iBesori; baphuma ukumhlangabeza uDavide nokuhlangabeza amadoda aye naye. Lapho uDavide esondela kubantu, wababingelela.

²² Base bephendula bonke abantu ababi namadoda amabi ahamba noDavide, bathi: “Ngokuba bengahambanga nathi, asiyikubanika empangweni esiyikhulule, kube yilowo nalowo umkakhe nomkakhe abantwana, ukuze babahole bahambe.

²³ UDavida wasesithi: Lingenzi njalo, bazalwane bami, ngalokho i Nkosi esinike yona, eyasilondolozayo, yanikela esandleni sethu ixuku elasihlasela.

²⁴ Ngoba ngubani ozalilalela kulendaba? kepha njengesabelo salowo owehlela impi, siyakuba njalo isabelo salowo ohlala empangweni;

²⁵ Kwathi kusukela ngalolo suku kuya phambili wakwenza kwaba yisimiso nesimiso kwa-Israyeli kuze kube namuhla.

²⁶ UDavida esefikile eZikilagi, wathuma enye empangweni kubadala bakoJuda kubangane bakhe, wathi: Khangelani, kukhona isipho senu empangweni yezitha zikaJehova;
