2 Samuweli 2 UDavide ugcotshwa njengeNkosi

¹ Ngemva kwalokho uDavida wabuza kuJehova wathi: “Ngingenyukele yini komunye wemizi yakoJuda? INkosi yasisithi kuye: Vuka. UDavide wathi: “Ngikhuphukele ngaphi na? Wathi: “EHebroni!”

² UDavide wenyukela khona, kanye nabafazi bakhe ababili, o-Ahinohama waseJizreyeli, no-Abigayili umkaNabali waseKarmeli.

³ UDavide wayesethuma amadoda akhe aye naye ukuba akhuphuke, kube yilowo nalowo nendlu yakhe, ahlala emizini yaseHebroni.

⁴ Amadoda akwaJuda afika amgcoba lapho uDavide abe yinkosi phezu kwendlu yakwaJuda. Bamtshela uDavide, bathi: “Ngamadoda aseJabeshi eGileyadi ammbela uSawule.”

⁵ UDavide wathuma izithunywa kubantu baseJabeshi kwaGileyadi, wathi kubo: “Manibusiswe nguJehova ukuba nenze lomusa enkosini yenu kuSawule, nammbela.

⁶ Manje uJehova unibonisile umusa nokwethembeka, futhi ngizokubuyisela lomusa kini, ngoba nenzile le nto.

⁷ Manje izandla zenu maziqiniswe, zibe nesibindi, ngokuba inkosi yenu uSawule ifile, nendlu yakwaJuda nayo ingigcobile ngibe yinkosi phezu kwayo.

⁸ Kepha u-Abineri indodana kaNeri, induna yempi kaSawule, wathatha u-Ishi Bosheti indodana kaSawule, wamyisa eMahanayimi;

⁹ wamenza inkosi kwaGileyadi, naseAsiriya, naseJizreyeli, nakuEfrayimi, nakuBenjamini, nakuIsrayeli wonke.

¹⁰ U-Ishi Bosheti indodana kaSawule wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane lapho eqala ukubusa phezu kuka-Israyeli, wabusa iminyaka emibili. Kodwa indlu yakwaJuda yamlandela uDavide.

¹¹ Isikhathi uDavide abusa ngaso eHebroni phezu kwendlu yakwaJuda sasiyiminyaka eyisikhombisa nezinyanga eziyisithupha.

¹² U-Abineri, indodana kaNeri, nezinceku zika-Ishi Bosheti, indodana kaSawule, baphuma eMahanayimi, baya eGibeyoni.

¹³ UJowabe indodana kaSeruya nezinceku zikaDavide baphuma, bahlangana echibini laseGibeyoni; bahlala phansi, omunye engapha kokugeza omunye engapha kokugeza.

¹⁴ U-Abineri wayesethi kuJowabe: “Mazisukume izinsizwa, zidlale phambi kwethu; Wathi uJowabe: “Mabasuke.”

¹⁵ Kwase kusuka kwadabula ngokwenani eliyishumi nambili lakwaBenjamini lika-Ishi Bosheti indodana kaSawule, nezinceku eziyishumi nambili zikaDavide.

¹⁶ Futhi babamba yilowo nalowo umngane wakhe ngekhanda futhi wamgwaza inkemba yakhe ohlangothini lwakhe; ngalokho bawa phansi kanyekanye. Ngalokho leyo ndawo yabizwa ngokuthi iHelikati Hassurimi eseGibeyoni.

¹⁷ Futhi kwaba khona impi enzima kakhulu ngalolo suku; u-Abineri namadoda akwa-Israyeli babulawa phambi kwezinceku zikaDavide.

¹⁸ Kwakukhona lapho amadodana amathathu kaSeruya, uJowabe, no-Abishayi, no-Asaheli; u-Asaheli wayelula ezinyaweni zakhe njengemfene.

¹⁹ U-Asaheli wamxosha u-Abineri; ekuhambeni kwakhe, akaphendukanga ku-Abineri ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo.

²⁰ U-Abineri wayesebheka emva kwakhe, wathi: “Wena u-Asaheli na?” Wathi: “Nginguye.”

²¹ U-Abineri wayesethi kuye: “Phendukela ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo sakho, ubambe enye yezinsizwa, uzithathele izikhali zayo.” Kodwa u-Asaheli akazange aphambuke ekumlandeleni.

²² U-Abineri wabuye wathi ku-Asaheli: “Suka ekungisukeleni; kungani kufanele ngikushaye phansi? ngingabumisa kanjani ubuso bami kuJowabe umfowenu na?

²³ Kodwa wala ukuphambuka; ngalokho u-Abineri wamgwaza ngengemuva lomkhonto ngaphansi kombambo lwesihlanu, kwaze kwaphuma umkhonto emva kwakhe; wawela khona lapho, wafela khona lapho.

²⁴ OJowabe no-Abishayi nabo bamxosha u-Abineri, lashona ilanga befika entabeni yase-Ama engaphambi kweGiya endleleni eya ehlane laseGibeyoni.

²⁵ Abantwana bakwaBenjamini babuthana emva kuka-Abineri, baba yiviyo linye, bema esiqongweni sentaba.

²⁶ U-Abineri wayesembiza uJowabe, wathi: “Inkemba izophela kuze kube phakade na? Anazi yini ukuthi ekugcineni kuyoba umunyu? koze kube nini ungayaleli abantu ukuba babuye ekulandeleni abafowabo na?

²⁷ Wayesethi uJowabe: “Kuphila kukaNkulunkulu, uma ungakhulumanga, abantu bebeyakukhuphuka nokukhuphuka ekuseni, kube yilowo nalowo kubafowabo emva kwakhe.”

²⁸ UJowabe wayesevuthela icilongo, bonke abantu bema, ababe besaxosha u-Israyeli, ababe besalwa.

²⁹ U-Abineri nabantu bakhe badabula ethafeni lobo busuku bonke, bawela iJordani, badabula iBitroni yonke, bafika eMahanayimi.

³⁰ UJowabe wabuya emva kuka-Abineri, wababizela ndawonye bonke abantu, kwadabula amadoda ayishumi nesishiyagalolunye no-Asaheli ezincekwini zikaDavide.

³¹ Kepha izinceku zikaDavide zabulala abanye bakwaBenjamini nabakwa-Abineri, kwafa abantu abangamakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisithupha.

³² Bamthatha u-Asaheli, bammbela ethuneni likayise eliseBhetlehema. UJowabe nabantu bakhe bahamba ubusuku bonke, bafika eHebroni ekuseni kakhulu.
