uDavide namadoda akhe bangena eTsikelage
1Kwathi, akufika uDavide eTsikelage ngomhla wesithathu, afika ama-Amaleki eTsikelage ngasezantsi, neTsikelage, ayixabela iTsikelage, ayitshisa ngomlilo; 2Abathimba abafazi ababekhona; 3Wangena ke uDavide namadoda akhe phakathi komzi, bawufumana utshisiwe ngomlilo; abafazi babo noonyana babo neentombi zabo bathinjwa. 4Baliphakamisa ooDavide namadoda abenaye ilizwi labo, balila, kwada akwabakho mandla kubo okulila. 5Yaye abafazi ababini bakaDavide bathatyathelwa ekuthinjweni, uAhinowam umYizerel noAbhigali umfazi kaNabhali waseKarmele. 6Wabandezeleka kunene uDavide; kuba abantu babesithi bamgibisele ngamatye; ngokuba umoya wesizwe siphela ubebandezelekile, elowo ngenxa yoonyana bakhe nangenxa yeentombi zakhe; ke uDavide wazomeleza ngoYehova uThixo wakhe. 7Wathi uDavide kuAbhiyatare, unyana ka-Ahimeleki, umbingeleli, Ndizise apha ingubo yamagxa; uAbhiyatare wamthabathela khona uDavide iefodi. 8Wabuza uDavide kuYehova, esithi, Ndiligibele na elo qela? Ndiya kubafumana. Wathi ke yena kuye, Bandulule, ngokuba uya kubambisa, kwaye uya kuphinda ulawule yonke into ngaphandle kokulibala. 9Wahamba ke uDavide, enamadoda angamakhulu amathandathu, waya kufika emlanjaneni oyiBhesore, apho aseleyo amasalela. 10Walandela uDavide, yena namadoda angamakhulu amane; ngokuba kwakusele amakhulu amabini amadoda ediniwe, ukuba abe nako ukuwela umlambo iBhesore. 11Ke kaloku bafumana indoda engumYiputa isezweni, bayizisa kuDavide, bayinika isonka, yadla; bampha amanzi; 12Bamnika ke icandelo lesicumba somkhiwane, nezicumba ezimbini zeerasintyisi; Ekudleni kwakhe wabuyela kuye umoya wakhe; ngokuba ebengadlanga sonka, engaselanga manzi iimini ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu. 13Wathi uDavide kuyo, Yekabani na? ungowaphi? Wathi, NdingumYiputa, umkhonzi wendoda engumAmaleki; Indishiyile inkosi yam, ngokuba bendisifa iintsuku ezintathu. 14Sahlasela elasezantsi lamaKrete, nelakwaYuda, nelasezantsi likaKalebhi; sayitshisa iTsikelage ngomlilo. 15Wathi uDavide kuyo, Ungandihlisela na kulaa sihlwele? Wathi, Musani ukundilahla phambi koThixo, ukuba ningandibulali, ningandinikele esandleni senkosi yam, ndinihlisele kule ngxokolo. 16Wamthoba, bachithachitheka kulo lonke elimiweyo, besidla, besela, bememelela ngenxa yamaxhoba onke amakhulu ababewathimbile ezweni lamaFilisti nasezweni lakwaYuda. 17uDavide wawaxabela ukususela ngokuhlwa kwada kwahlwa ngengomso; akwasinda namnye kubo, ngaphandle kwamakhulu amane amadodana akhwela iinkamela, asabayo. 18uDavide wazihlangula zonke izinto ezazithinjwe ngama-Amaleki, waza uDavide wabasindisa nabafazi bakhe bobabini. 19Abazange baswele nto, enoba yencinane okanye enkulu, okanye oonyana okanye iintombi, okanye into ephangiweyo okanye nantoni na ababeyithabathele kubo. uDavide wayibuyisela yonke loo nto. 20Wayithabatha uDavide yonke imihlambi yempahla emfutshane, neenkomo, ababeyisukela phambi kwemihlambi, bathi, Lixhoba likaDavide eli. 21uDavide wafika kumakhulu amabini amadoda adiniweyo, engenako ukumlandela uDavide, awawabeka entilini yomlanjana oyiBhesore; yaye baphuma baya kuhlangabeza uDavide nokuhlangabeza amadoda awayekunye naye. Wafika uDavide ebantwini, wababulisa. 22Aphendula ke onke amadoda amatshijolo namadoda angamatshijolo, abehambe noDavide, athi, Ekubeni bengahambanga nathi, asiyi kubanika amaxhoba esiwakhululeyo; umfazi wakhe abantwana, ukuze babakhaphele, bahambe. 23Wathi uDavide, Musani ukuyenza loo nto, bazalwana bam, ngento asinike yona uYehova, owasisindisayo, wayinikela ezandleni zethu izihlwele ezazisihlasela. 24Ngubani na oya kuniva kweli lizwi? Ke njengoko sinjalo isabelo sohlayo ukuya emfazweni, siya kuba njalo isabelo soseleyo emaxhobeni; 25Ukususela ngaloo mini wakumisa oko umyalelo nommiselo koonyana bakaSirayeli kude kube namhla. 26Wafika uDavide eTsikelage, wathumela inxenye yexhoba kumadoda amakhulu akwaYuda kubahlobo bakhe, esithi, Yabonani, kukho isipho senu ekuthinjweni kweentshaba zikaYehova; 27neBhetele, nelasezantsi kweRamoti, neYatire; 28nabaseArohere, nabaseTsipmoti, nabaseEstemowa; 29nabaseRagali, nasemizini yamaYerameli, nasemizini yamaKanan; 30namaHorma, namaKorashi, namaAtage; 31naseHebron, nasezindaweni zonke abehamba kuzo uDavide namadoda akhe.
