1 IziKronike 20 UJowabe walishaya iRaba, walichitha

¹ Kwathi umnyaka usuphelile, ngesikhathi amakhosi ephuma ngaso impi, uJowabi wakhupha amaqhawe ebutho, walichitha ilizwe labantwana bakoAmoni, wafika wavimbezela iRaba. Kodwa uDavida wahlala eJerusalema. UJowabe walishaya iRaba, walichitha.

² UDavida wasethatha umqhele wenkosi yabo ekhanda layo, wathola isisindo sayo siyitalenta legolide, lamatshe aligugu kuwo; yabekwa ekhanda likaDavide, naye waletha impango eningi emzini.

³ Wakhipha amadoda ayephakathi kwawo, wawasika ngamasaha, nangemimese yensimbi, nangezimbazo; Wenze njalo uDavide kuyo yonke imizi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni. UDavide nabo bonke abantu babuyela eJerusalema.

⁴ Kwathi emva kwaleyo mpi kwavuka amaFilisti eGezeri; ngaleso sikhathi uSibegayi umHusati wabulala uSiphayi owayengowabantwana bamaRefa, banqotshwa.

⁵ Kwabuye kwaba khona impi namaFilisti; u-Elihanani indodana kaJayire wabulala uLami umfowabo kaGoliyati umGiti, umkhonto wakhe wawunjengogongolo lwabaluki.

⁶ Kwabuye kwaba khona impi eGati, lapho kwakukhona khona umuntu omude, ominwe yakhe nezinzwani zakhe zazingamashumi amabili nane, ziyisithupha esandleni sinye, nesithupha onyaweni ngalunye; futhi wayeyindodana yomdondoshiya.

⁷ Kodwa lapho ephikisa u-Israyeli, uJonathani indodana kaShimeya umfowabo kaDavide wambulala.

⁸ Bazalelwa amaRefa eGati; bawa ngesandla sikaDavide nangesandla sezinceku zakhe.
