2 Samuweli 23 UDavida ukhuluma amazwi akhe awaphiwa nguMoya

¹ Lawa angamazwi okugcina kaDavide. Wathi uDavide, indodana kaJese, umuntu waphakama phezulu, ogcotshiweyo kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, nomhubi omnandi ka-Israyeli, wathi:

² UMoya kaJehova wakhuluma ngami, nezwi lakhe lalisolimini lwami.

³ UNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli wathi: Idwala likaIsrayeli lakhuluma kimi, lathi: Obusa abantu uzakuba ngolungileyo, abuse ngokumesaba uNkulunkulu.

⁴ Uyakuba njengokukhanya kokusa ekuphumeni kwelanga, njengokusa okungenamafu; njengotshani obuthambile obumila emhlabeni ngokukhazimula ngokukhazimulayo ngemva kwemvula.

⁵ Lanxa indlu yami kayinjalo kuNkulunkulu; nokho wenza nami isivumelwano esiphakade, esiqondileyo nesiqinisekileyo kukho konke; ngokuba lokhu kuyinsindiso yami yonke kanye nesifiso sami sonke, noma engakhulisi.

⁶ Kodwa amadodana kaBheliyali wonke azakuba njengameva aqhutshelwa khatshana, ngoba awanakubanjwa ngezandla.

⁷ Kodwa umuntu ozithintayo kumelwe abiyelwe ngensimbi nangothi lomkhonto; ziyakushiswa ngomlilo kuleyo ndawo.

⁸ Lawa angamagama amaqhawe kaDavide: UmThahemoni, owayehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, inhloko yezikhulu; kwakungu-Adino, umEsnite; yena waphakamisela umkhonto wakhe phezu kwabangamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili wababulala kanyekanye.

⁹ Ngemva kwakhe kwakukhona u-Eleyazare indodana kaDodo umAhohi, omunye wamaqhawe amathathu ayenoDavide, lapho bephikisana namaFilisti ayelapho ukuba alwe, futhi abantu bakwa-Israyeli bahamba.

¹⁰ Wasukuma wawahlula amaFilisti, saze sakhathala isandla sakhe, sanamathela enkembeni; uJehova wenza insindiso enkulu ngalolo suku; amadoda abuya emva kwakhe ukuyophanga kuphela.

¹¹ Emva kwakhe kwakunguShama indodana ka-Age umHarari. AmaFilisti abuthana njengeviyo, lapho isiqephu sezwe sasigcwele udali; abantu babaleka phambi kwamaFilisti.

¹² Kepha wema phakathi nezwe, walivikela, wawabulala amaFilisti; uJehova wenza insindiso enkulu.

¹³ Kwehla abathathu kwabayizikhulu ezingamashumi amathathu, beza kuDavide ngesikhathi sokuvuna emhumeni wase-Adulamu;

¹⁴ UDavide wayesenqabeni yamaFilisti ngaleso sikhathi;

¹⁵ UDavide walangazelela, wathi: “Awu, uma umuntu ebengangiphuzisa amanzi omthombo waseBetlehema osesangweni!

¹⁶ Lawo maqhawe amathathu afohla impi yamaFilisti, akha amanzi emthonjeni waseBetlehema owawusesangweni, awathatha, awaletha kuDavide; kepha akavumanga ukuwaphuza, wawathululela kuJehova.

¹⁷ Wathi: “Makube kude nami, Jehova, ukuba ngenze lokhu; akulona igazi lamadoda ahamba ngokuphila kwawo engozini na?” ngalokho akathandanga ukuwaphuza. Lezo zinto azenza lawa madoda amathathu anamandla.

¹⁸ U-Abishayi umfowabo kaJowabe indodana kaSeruya wayeyinhloko yabathathu. Yena waphakamisela abangamakhulu amathathu umkhonto wakhe, wababulala, waba negama phakathi kwabathathu.

¹⁹ Wayengadunyiswa kakhulu kunabathathu na? ngakho-ke wayengumbusi wabo; kodwa akafinyelelanga kwabathathu bokuqala.

²⁰ UBenaya, indodana kaJehoyada, indodana yendoda enesibindi, waseKabiseyeli, owenza izenzo eziningi, wabulala abantu ababili bakwaMowabi abanjengezingonyama;

²¹ Wabulala nowaseGibithe, indoda ebukekayo; umGibhithe wayenomkhonto esandleni sakhe; kepha wehlela kuye ephethe intonga, wahlwitha umkhonto esandleni sowaseGibithe, wambulala ngomkhonto wakhe.

²² Lokhu kwenziwa nguBhenaya indodana kaJoyada, futhi wayenegama phakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.

²³ Wayehloniphekile kunabangamashumi amathathu, kodwa akafinyelelanga kwabathathu bokuqala. UDavide wammisa phezu kwabalindi bakhe.

²⁴ U-Asaheli umfowabo kaJowabe wayengomunye wabangamashumi amathathu; u-Elihanani indodana kaDodo waseBetlehema,
