⁶ Na dɔm no fii adi kɔɔ wuram kohyiaa Israel; na wɔkoo dɔm no Efraim kwae mu.

⁷ Na wɔkaa Israel dɔm no gui, Dawid nkoa no anim, na okunkɛse baa hɔ da no, nnipa ɔpeduonu.

⁸ Na ɛhɔ ko no trɛw asase no nyinaa ani na dɔm no mu wɔn a wowui kwae no mu dɔɔso sen wɔn a wowui nkrante ano da no.

⁹ Na Absalom hyiaa Dawid nkoa no; nso Absalom te afurumpɔnkɔ so, na afurumpɔnkɔ no de no faa odupɔn kɛse bi baa kusuu ase, na ne ti kɔsoaa odupɔn no ma ɔsensɛn ɔsoro ne fam ntam, na afurumpɔnkɔ a ɔwɔ n’ase no sen kɔe.

¹⁰ Na ɔbarima bi kohui na ɔkɔka kyerɛɛ Yoab sɛ: Hwɛ makohu Absalom sɛ ɔsɛn odupɔn bi so.

¹³ Anka me ara na mayɛ me ho bɔne, efisɛ asɛm biara nhintaw ɔhene na anka wo nso wobɛpa m’akyi.

¹⁴ Na Yoab kae sɛ: Merentwentwɛn me nan ase w’anim sa. Na ɔfaa mpɛmɛ abiɛsa kurae na ɔde kɔwowɔɔ Absalom komam bere a ɔda so yɛ anikan odupɔn no mu.

¹⁵ Na mmerante du a wokura Yoab akode twaa Absalom ho hyiae na wɔbobɔɔ no kum no.

¹⁶ Ɛnna Yoab hyɛn torobɛnto na dɔm no nyinaa san fii Israel akyi; na Yoab siankaa dɔm no.

¹⁷ Na woyii Absalom de no too kwae mu hɔ amoa kɛse bi mu, na wɔboaboaa abokuw kɛse pa ano guu no so. Na Israel nyinaa guanguan kokɔɔ wɔn ntamadan mu.

¹⁸ Nso Absalom te ase no, osii nkae dum bi a ɛwɔ ɔhene bon mu fae, na ose: Minni ɔbabarima a wɔde no bɛkae me din. Na ɔde ne din too odum no, na wɔfrɛ no Absalom sɛnkyerɛnne besi nnɛ.
