¹ Ngasemuva uDavida wawatshaya amaFilisti, wawanqoba; uDavide wathatha iMetegama esandleni samaFilisti.

³ UDavide wamshaya noHadadezeri indodana kaRehobe, inkosi yaseSoba, ekuyeni kwakhe ukubuyisela umkhawulo wakhe ngasemfuleni u-Ewufrathe.

⁴ UDavide wamaphuca izinqola eziyinkulungwane namakhulu ayisikhombisa nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili;

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

⁶ UDavida wamisa abalindi eSiriya eDamaseko; ama-Aramu aba yizigqili zikaDavida aletha izipho. UJehova wamvikela uDavide yonke indawo ayeya kuyo.

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

⁸ EBeta naseBerotayi, imizi kaHadadezeri, inkosi uDavide yathatha ithusi eliningi.

⁹ Kwathi uThoyi inkosi yaseHamati esezwile ukuthi uDavida utshaye ibutho lonke likaHadadezeri,

¹⁰ UJoramu indodana yakhe wayesethumela enkosini uDavide ukuyibingelela nokuyibusisa, ngokuba yayilwile noHadadezeri, yamnqoba; ngoba uHadadezeri wayelwile loThoyi. UJehoramu waletha izitsha zesiliva nezitsha zegolide nezitsha zethusi.

¹¹ Nayo inkosi uDavide yakungcwelisela uJehova, kanye nesiliva negolide yakungcwelisa ezizweni zonke eyazehlisayo;

¹² kwa-Aramu, nakuMowabi, nakubantwana bakwa-Amoni, nakumaFilisti, naku-Amaleki, nasempangweni kaHadadezeri, indodana kaRehobe, inkosi yaseSoba.

¹³ UDavide wazenzela igama ekubuyeni kwakhe ekubulaleni ama-Aramu esiGodini Sikasawoti, abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili.

¹⁵ UDavide wabusa phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke; uDavide wenza ukwahlulela nokulunga kubo bonke abantu bakhe.

¹⁶ UJowabe indodana kaSeruya wayephezu kwempi; uJehoshafati, indodana ka-Ahiludi, wayengumbusi;

¹⁷ uSadoki, indodana ka-Ahithubi, no-Ahimeleki, indodana ka-Abiyathara, babengabapristi; uSeraya wayengumlobi;

¹⁸ UBenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephezu kwamaKreti nasePleti; amadodana kaDavide ayeyizinhloko.
