UDavida ubusa ilizwe lonke lakoIsrayeli

1 Khona zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli zeza kuDavida eHebroni ^a, zakhuluma zisithi: Khangela, thina silithambo lakho lenyama yakho ^b. 2 Lesikhathini esidlulileyo, uSawuli eseyinkosi phezu kwethu, nguwe owakhupha lowangenisa uIsrayeli ^c, leNkosi yathi kuwe: Wena uzakwelusa abantu bami uIsrayeli, lawe uzakuba ngumbusi phezu kukaIsrayeli ^d. 3 Ngakho kwafika bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli enkosini uDavida eHebroni ^e; inkosi uDavida yasisenza isivumelwano labo eHebroni ^f phambi kweNkosi ^g; basebemgcoba uDavida, waba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli.

4 UDavida wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu ekubeni kwakhe yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane ^h. 5 EHebroni wabusa phezu kukaJuda iminyaka eyisikhombisa lenyanga eziyisithupha; leJerusalema wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lantathu phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke loJuda ⁱ.

UDavida uthatha inqaba yeZiyoni

6 Inkosi labantu bayo basebesiya eJerusalema ^j kumaJebusi, abahlali belizwe ^k; akhuluma kuDavida athi: Kawuyikungena lapha, ngaphandle kokuthi ususe iziphofu labaqhulayo; besithi uDavida kayikungena lapho. 7 Kodwa uDavida wayithumba inqaba yeZiyoni; le ngumuzi kaDavida ^l. 8 UDavida wasesithi ngalolosuku: Ngulowo lalowo otshaya umJebusi, katshaye emgelweni wamanzi abaqhulayo leziphofu, abazondwa ngumphefumulo kaDavida ^m. Ngakho bathi: Isiphofu loqhulayo kabayikungena endlini ⁿ. 9 Ngakho uDavida wahlala enqabeni, wayibiza ngokuthi ngumuzi kaDavida. UDavida wakha inhlangothi zonke, kusukela eMilo kusiya phakathi ^o. 10 UDavida waqhubeka njalo esiba lamandla, njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, yayilaye.

11 UHiramu inkosi yeTire wasethuma izithunywa kuDavida ^{p
,} ^q, lezigodo zemisedari, lababazi bezigodo lababazi bamatshe; basebemakhela uDavida indlu. 12 UDavida wasekwazi ukuthi iNkosi yayimmisile ukuthi abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, lokuthi iwuphakamisile umbuso wakhe ngenxa yabantu bayo uIsrayeli ^r.

Abantwana bakaDavida abazalelwa eJerusalema

13 UDavida wasethatha ^s abanye abafazi abancane labafazi bevela eJerusalema, esevela eHebroni ^t, njalo kwakulamanye amadodana lamadodakazi azalelwa uDavida. 14 Njalo la ngamabizo alabo abazalelwa yena eJerusalema: OShamuwa, loShobabi, loNathani, loSolomoni, 15 loIbihari, loElishuwa, loNefegi, loJafiya, 16 loElishama, loEliyada, loElifeleti.

UDavida unqoba amaFilisti

17 Kwathi amaFilisti esezwile ukuthi bamgcobile uDavida ukuthi abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, wonke amaFilisti enyuka ukuyamdinga uDavida; uDavida wakuzwa, wehlela enqabeni ^u. 18 AmaFilisti esefikile asabalala ^v esihotsheni seRefayimi ^w. 19 UDavida wasebuza eNkosini esithi: Ngingenyukela yini kumaFilisti? Uzawanikela esandleni sami yini? INkosi yasisithi kuDavida: Yenyuka, ngoba isibili ngizawanikela amaFilisti esandleni sakho ^x. 20 UDavida wasefika eBhali-Perazimi ^y, uDavida wawatshaya khona, wathi: INkosi izifohlele izitha zami phambi kwami njengokufohla kwamanzi. Ngakho wabiza ibizo laleyondawo ngokuthi yiBhali-Perazimi. 21 Asetshiya izithombe zawo lapho, loDavida labantu bakhe bazisusa ^z.

22 AmaFilisti asebuya enyuka futhi, asabalala esihotsheni seRefayimi ^aa. 23 Lapho uDavida ebuza iNkosi, yathi: Ungenyuki; bhoda ngemuva kwawo, uwasukele usuka maqondana lezihlahla zebhalisamu ^ab. 24 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho usizwa isisinde sokuhamba ezihlokweni zezihlahla zebhalisamu, lapho uphangise ^ac, ngoba ngalesosikhathi iNkosi izaphuma phambi kwakho ukutshaya ibutho lamaFilisti ^ad. 25 UDavida wasesenza njalo, njengokumlaya kwayo iNkosi, wawatshaya amaFilisti kusukela eGeba uze ufike eGezeri ^ae.
