UDavida uletha umfaji wesivumelwano eJerusalema
1UDavida wabuya godu wahlanganisa boke abakhethiweko kwa-Israyeli, baba ziinkulungwana ezimatjhumi amathathu sebaboke. 2UDavida wasuka nabo boke abantwabo bakhamba bayokuthatha umfaji kaZimu eBhala kwaJuda. Umfaji lowo ungodumileko. Ubukhona bakaSomnini uMninimandlawoke buhlala emfajinapho hlangana namakerubhi. 3Bakhweza umfaji kaZimu phezu kwekoloyana etja, bawukhupha endlini ka-Abinadaba ebigade iphezu kwentatjana. U-Uza no-Arhiyo abantwanabomntwana ka-Abinadaba batjhayela ikoloyana etja leyo 4ithwele umfaji kaZimu. U-Arhiyo wakhamba pambi kwayo hlanu kweenkomo.Bawuthatha njalo-ke umfaji kaSomnini endlini ka-Abinadaba.
5UDavida nendlu yoke yakwa-Israyeli bebathabile phambi kwakaSomnini, bancinza imihlobohlobo yamaharibha eyenziwe ngesigodo somsayipurusi, balilisa abosotjherere, amafahlawana neewahlo. 6Kuthe nabafika eselelweni seNakhoni, u-Uza welula isandla wabamba umfaji kaZimu ngombana ikoloyana yakhahlumezeka lokha iinkomo nazifika edwalenapho. 7Ubukhali bakaSomnini bavuthela u-Uza ngebanga lesenzo sakhe sokungahloniphi; ngebangelo uSomnini wamumadlha phasi wafela khonapho eqadi komfaji kaZimu. 8UDavida wakhathazeka ngebanga lokobana uSomnini aphahlaze u-Uza. Yeke wathiya indawo leyo bona yiPeretsi-Uza. Ibizwelo lisajamile nanamhlanjesi.
9Mhlokho uDavida wesaba uSomnini bewadlumbana wathi: “Alo, ngingawusa njani umfaji kaSomnini kwami?” 10Ngalokho gade angakazimiseli bona athathe umfaji kaSomnini ubenaye eMzini kaDavida. Kunalokho, wawuphambukisa wawusa endlini ka-Obede-Edomu umGathi. 11Umfaji kaSomnini wahlala iinyanga ezintathu endlini ka-Obede-Edomu umGathi. USomnini wambusisa nendlwakhe yoke. 12Ikosi uDavida yabikelwa bonyana uSomnini ubusise indlu ka-Obede-Edomu nakho koke anakho ngebanga lomfaji kaZimu. Yeke uDavida wehla wakhuphula umfaji kaZimu endlini ka-Obede-Edomu wawuletha eMzini kaDavida ngethabo. 13Kwathi lokha abathwele umfaji kaSomnini sebathethe amagadango asithandathu, wanikela ngekunzi nangekonyana elinonisiweko. 14UDavida gade embethe iphuraphura yomphristi kwaphela. Wahlaba iinsondo phambi kwakaSomnini ngokuzimisela okukhulu. 15Ngaleyondlela uDavida nendlu yoke yakwa-Israyeli bakhuphula umfaji kaSomnini ngetjhada lokuvuma nangokuliliswa kwepalapala.
16Kuthe lokha umfaji kaSomnini nawungena eMzini kaDavida, uMikali indodakazi kaSawula wabukela ahlole ngefesidere. Uthe nabona ikosi uDavida athamba, agida phambi kwakaSomnini, wamnyaza.
17Baletha umfaji kaSomnini ngetendeni uDavida agade alihlomele wona, bawubeka endaweni ekhethekileko. UDavida wanikela ngomhlabelo wokutjhiswa nangomhlabelo wetjhebiswano phambi kwakaSomnini. 18Emva kobana aqedile ngemihlabelo leyo, wabusisa abantu ebizweni lakaSomnini uMninimandlawoke. 19Omunye nomunye esiqubuthwini sakwa-Israyeli, amadoda nabafazi, waphiwa isikwa esindulungu, amakwapa wesundu namakwapa wamadiribe. Abantu baphadlhalala-ke, babuyela emakhaya.
20Kuthe lokha uDavida nabuyela ekhaya bona abusise indlwakhe, uMikali indodakazi kaSawula waphuma bona amhlangabeze, wamtshima wathi kuye: “Ikosi yama-Israyeli yazibonakalisa-ke namhlanjesi! Yazineka bhunubhunu phambi kwamakhobokakazi weenceku zayo kanjengombana bekuzokwenza omunye nomunye umuntu ongazisiko.” 21UDavida wathi kuMikali: “Bengigida phambi kwakaSomnini owakhetha mina kunokobana akhethe uyihlo nanyana omunye wendlu yakhe. Ngigide ngombana uSomnini ajamisa mina bona ngibe mbusi wesizwe sakhe, u-Israyeli. 22Ngisazozehlisa khulu kunalokhu, bengizilulaze: Ngizozehlisa ngamakhobokakazi okhulume ngawo la, ngihlonipheke kiwo.” 23UMikali indodakazi kaSawula akhange abe nomntwana bekwaba sekufeni kwakhe.
