Intukuthelo kaNkulunkulu yavutha ngokuba wahamba ; ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yema endleleni ukuba imelane naye . Wayekhwele imbongolo yakhe, izinceku zakhe ezimbili zinaye.

Wayesefika kuye ; bheka, wayemi ngasemnikelweni wakhe wokushiswa , izikhulu zakwaMowabi zinaye . UBalaki wathi kuye : UJehova ukhulume ngokuthini na?

Emva komnyaka ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwamakhosi uDavide wamthuma uJowabe nezinceku zakhe zinaye kanye no -Israyeli wonke , babachitha abantwana bakwa-Amoni, bavimbezela iRaba ; kepha uDavide wahlala eJerusalema.

Kweza naye abantu abayinkulungwane bakwaBenjamini , noSiba inceku yendlu kaSawule , namadodana akhe ayishumi nanhlanu , nezinceku zakhe ezingamashumi amabili zinaye; bawela iJordani phambi kwenkosi.

AmaFilisti abuye aphaka impi no -Israyeli; uDavide wehla, izinceku zakhe zinaye, balwa namaFilisti; uDavide waphela amandla.

UJoramu wayesewelela eSayiri, nazo zonke izinqola zakhe zinaye ; wavuka ebusuku, wamchitha u -Edomi omhaqileyo nxazonke , nezinduna zezinqola , kepha abantu babalekela ematendeni abo.

Wayesewela uJehoramu nezinduna zakhe, nazo zonke izinqola zakhe zinaye; wavuka ebusuku, wabachitha abakwa-Edomi abamhaqileyo kanye nezinduna zezinqola.
