2 Samuweli 21
UDavide ucela iseluleko kwabaseGibheyoni
1Kwase kuba khona indlala emihleni kaDavide iminyaka emithathu, umnyaka ngomnyaka; uDavide wabuza kuJehova. UJehova wathi: “Kungenxa kaSawule nendlu yakhe yamagazi, ngoba wabulala abaseGibeyoni.”
2Inkosi yasibiza abaseGibeyoni, yathi kubo: (AbaseGibeyoni babengesibo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, kodwa bensali yama-Amori; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bafunga kubo; uSawule wazama ukubulala ngokushisekela kwakhe. Kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli noJuda.)
3Ngakho uDavida wathi kwabaseGibeyoni: Ngizalenzelani? ngiyakwenza ukubuyisana ngani, ukuze nibusise ifa likaJehova na?
4AbaseGibeyoni base bethi kuye: “Asiyikuthatha isiliva negolide kuSawule nasendlini yakhe; ungasibulaleli muntu kwa-Israyeli. Wathi: “Lokho okushoyo, ngizokwenzela khona.”
5Base beyiphendula inkosi, bathi: “Lowo muntu owasidlayo, owaceba ngathi ukuba sibhujiswe, sihlale kunoma yimuphi wemikhawulo yakwa-Israyeli,
6Masinikwe amadoda ayisikhombisa emadodaneni akhe, siwalengise phambi kukaJehova eGibeya likaSawule uJehova alikhethileyo. Inkosi yasisithi: Ngizabanika.
7Kodwa inkosi yamyeka uMefibosheti indodana kaJonathani indodana kaSawule ngenxa yesifungo sikaJehova esasiphakathi kwabo phakathi kukaDavide noJonathani indodana kaSawule.
8Inkosi yathatha amadodana amabili kaRispa, indodakazi ka-Aya, awazalela uSawule, o-Armoni noMefibosheti; namadodana ayisihlanu kaMikhali indodakazi kaSawule owawakhulisela ku-Adriyeli indodana kaBarizilayi waseMehola;
9Wabanikela esandleni sabaseGibeyoni, babaphanyeka entabeni phambi kukaJehova; zawa zonke eziyisikhombisa kanyekanye, zabulawa ngezinsuku zokuvuna, ngezinsuku zokuqala, ekuqaleni kwebhali isivuno.
10URispa indodakazi ka-Aya wathatha izingubo zokulila, wamendlalela zona edwaleni, kusukela ekuqaleni kokuvuna kwaze kwawa amanzi avela ezulwini phezu kwazo, akazivumelanga izinyoni zezulu ukuba ziphakame emini ukuba zikhuphuke. Phumula, nezilwane zasendle ebusuku.
11UDavide watshelwa lokho uRispa indodakazi ka-Aya, isancinza sikaSawule, ayekwenzile.
12UDavide wahamba wawathatha amathambo kaSawule namathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe kubantu baseJabeshi eGileyadi, ababewebile esigcawini saseBeti Shani, lapho amaFilisti ayebalengise khona, lapho amaFilisti enqoba uSawule eGilibowa.
13Wawenyusa khona amathambo kaSawule namathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe; basebebutha amathambo alabo ababelengisiwe.
14Amathambo kaSawule noJonathani indodana yakhe bembela ezweni lakwaBenjamini eSela ethuneni likaKishi uyise; benza konke inkosi eyabayala ngakho. Kwase kuthi-ke uNkulunkulu wakhulekelwa izwe.
15Ngaphezu kwalokho, amaFilisti aphinda futhi alwa no-Israyeli; uDavide wehla, izinceku zakhe zilwa naye namaFilisti; uDavide wadinwa.
16U-Ishibhibenobi owayengowamadodana amaRefa, osisindo somkhonto wakhe sasingamashekeli angamakhulu amathathu ethusi, ebhince inkemba entsha, wacabanga ukuthi ubulele uDavide.
17Kodwa u-Abishayi indodana kaSeruya wamsiza, wamshaya umFilisti, wambulala. Khona-ke abantu bakaDavide bafunga kuye, bathi: “Awusayikuphinda uphume nathi empini, funa ucime ukukhanya kuka-Israyeli.
18Emva kwalokho kwaba nenye impi namaFilisti eGobi;
19Kwaba khona enye impi namaFilisti eGobi, lapho u-Elihanani indodana kaJahare-oregimi waseBetlehema, umfowabo kaGoliyati, umGiti, omkhonto wakhe wawunjengogongolo lomaluki, wahlula khona.
20Kwabuye kwaba khona futhi impi eGati, lapho kwakukhona umuntu omude kakhulu, eneminwe eyisithupha esandleni ngasinye nezinzwani eziyisithupha onyaweni ngalunye, ingamashumi amabili nane ngenani; futhi naye wazalelwa umdondoshiya.
21Lapho ephikisana no-Israyeli, uJonathani indodana kaShimeya umfowabo kaDavide wambulala.
22Labo bane bazalelwa umdondoshiya eGati, bawa ngesandla sikaDavide nangesandla sezinceku zakhe.
