| 1. | Ke kaloku yoluka imfazwe phakathi kwendlu kaSawule nendlu kaDavide. UDavide waya esomelela ngokomelela; indlu kaSawule yaya incipha ngokuncipha. |
| 2. | UDavide wazalelwa oonyana eHebron: owamazibulo waba nguAmnon ngoAhinowam waseYizereli; |
| 3. | owesibini wabanguKiliyabhi ngoAbhigali, umkaNabhali waseKarmele; owesithathu waba nguAbhisalom, unyana kaMahaka, intombi kaTalemayi, ukumkani waseGeshuri; |

| 6. | Kwathi, kwakubonÂ’ ukuba kukho imfazwe phakathi kwendlu kaSawule nendlu kaDavide, uAbhinere wamana ukuzomelezela indlu kaSawule. |
| 7. | Ke uSawule ebeneshweshwe eligama linguRitspa, intombi ka-Aya; wathi ke uIshbhoshete kuAbhinere, Yini na ukuba ulingene ishweshwe likabawo? |
| 8. | Wavutha kakhulu ngumsindo uAbhinere ngamazwi kaIshbhoshete, wathi, Ndiyintloko yenja elunge kwaYuda yini na? Namhla ndiyenzela inceba indlu kaSawule uyihlo, kubazalwana bakhe, nakubahlobo bakhe; andikuyekelanga esandleni sikaDavide; kanti ke undivelele ngobugwenxa endibenze kule nkazana namhla. |
| 9. | UThixo makenjenje kuAbhinere, aqokele ukwenjenje; njengoko uYehova wamfungelayo uDavide, ndiya kwenjenjalo kuye: |
| 10. | ukubugqithisa ubukumkani endlwini kaSawule, kumiswe itrone kaDavide kwaSirayeli nakwaYuda, kuthabathele kwaDan kuse eBher-shebha. |
| 11. | Akaba saba nako ukumphendula nezwi uAbhinere ngokumoyika. |

| 13. | Wathi, Kulungile, ndowenza nawe umnqophiso. Kodwa kukho nto-nye ndiyifunayo kuwe; yile: akuyi kububona ubuso bam, ungamzisanga uMikali intombi kaSawule, wakuza kububona ubuso bam. |
| 14. | UDavide wesusa abathunywa, baya kuIshbhoshete unyana kaSawule, esithi, Ndinike umkam uMikali, endamgana ngekhulu leenyama zokwaluswa zamaFilisti. |
| 15. | Wathumela uIshbhoshete, wamthabatha kwindoda yakhe, kuPaltiyeli unyana kaLayishe. |
| 16. | Yahamba naye ke indoda yakhe, imana ilila emva kwakhe, kwada kwezisa eBhahurim. Wathi uAbhinere kuyo, Hamba ubuye. Yabuya. |
| 17. | Ke kaloku uAbhinere wayenelizwi kumadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, elithi, Kwangaphambili nibe nimfuna uDavide, ukuba abe ngukumkani kuni: |
| 18. | yenzani kaloku, ngokuba uYehova utshilo kuDavide, ukuthi, Ndiya kubasindisa ngesandla sikaDavide, umkhonzi wam, abantu bam amaSirayeli esandleni samaFilisti, nasesandleni seentshaba zabo zonke. |
| 19. | Kananjalo uAbhinere ebethethile ezindlebeni zamaBhenjamin; kanjalo uAbhinere waya kuthetha ezindlebeni zikaDavide eHebron konke okulungileyo phambi kwamaSirayeli, naphambi kwendlu yonke yakwaBhenjamin. |
| 20. | Waya ke uAbhinere kuDavide eHebron, enamashumi amabini amadoda. UDavide wamenzela ke isidlo uAbhinere namadoda akhe abenawo. |
| 21. | Wathi uAbhinere kuDavide, Ndiya kusuka ndiwahlanganisele enkosini yam ukumkani onke amaSirayeli, enze umnqophiso nawe, ube ngukumkani entweni yonke oyinqwenelayo umphefumlo wakho. UDavide wamndulula uAbhinere; wahamba exolile. |
| 22. | Kwabonakala abakhonzi bakaDavide benoYowabhi, bevela emsebenzini wokututa, besiza namaxhoba amaninzi. Ke uAbhinere ebengasekhona kuDavide eHebron, ngokuba ubemndulule, wahamba exolile. |
| 23. | Bafika ooYowabhi nomkhosi wonke anawo. Kwaxelwa kuYowabhi, kwathiwa, UAbhinere unyana kaNere ubezile kukumkani, wamndulula, wahamba exolile. |
| 24. | Waya uYowabhi kukumkani, wathi, Yintoni na le uyenzileyo? Uyabona, ubezile uAbhinere kuwe; yintoni na le nto umndululeyo, wahamba wemka? |
| 25. | Uyamazi uAbhinere unyana kaNere, ukuba ubeze kukuthomalalisa, ukuze akwazi ukuphuma kwakho nokungena kwakho, akwazi konke okwenzayo. |
| 26. | Waphuma uYowabhi kuDavide, wathuma abathunywa; balandela uAbhinere, bambuyisa equleni laseSira, uDavide engazi. |
| 27. | Wabuya ke uAbhinere weza eHebron. UYowabhi wamthabathela bucala phakathi kwesango, ukuba athethe naye ngasese. Wamgwaza esiswini, wafa, ngenxa yegazi lika-Asaheli umninawa wakhe. |
| 28. | Weva uDavide emveni kokuba kunjalo, wathi, Ndimsulwa nobukumkani bam phambi koYehova, kude kuse ephakadeni, ngamagazi ka-Abhinere unyana kaNere; |
| 29. | makabe phezu kwentloko kaYowabhi, naphezu kwendlu yonke kayise; makanganqunyulwa angabikho endlwini kaYowabhi umntu obhobhozayo, oneqhenqa, osimelela ngentonga, owa ngekrele, oswele ukudla. |
| 30. | UYowabhi noAbhishayi umninawa wakhe bambulala ke uAbhinere, ngenxa enokuba ebembulele uAsaheli umninawa wabo eGibheyon emfazweni. |
| 31. | Wathi uDavide kuYowabhi nakubantu bonke anabo, Krazulani iingubo zenu, nibhinqe ezirhwexayo, nimmbambazelele uAbhinere. UDavide ukumkani walilandela ithala. |
| 32. | Bamngcwabela eHebron uAbhinere. Waliphakamisa ukumkani ilizwi lakhe, walila engcwabeni lika-Abhinere. Balila abantu bonke. |
| 33. | Ukumkani wamenzela isimbonono uAbhinere, wathi, Angafa ngokufa kwesidenge na uAbhinere? |
| 34. | Izandla zakho bezingakhonkxwanga, iinyawo zakho bezingafakwanga amakhamandela obhedu, Uwe njengowa phambi kwamabhedengu. Baphinda bonke abantu bamlilela. |
| 35. | Bonke abantu beza kumdlisa uDavide isonka, kusesemini. Wafunga uDavide, esithi. UThixo makenjenje kum, aqokele ukwenjenje, ukuba ndithe, lingekatshoni ilanga, ndeva isonka, nokuba yinto eyiyimbi. |
| 36. | Bakugqala oko bonke abantu, kwalunga emehlweni abo; njengokuba konke abekwenza ukumkani bekulunga emehlweni abantu bonke. |
| 37. | Bazi ke abantu bonke namaSirayeli onke ngaloo mini, ukuba ukubulawa kuka-Abhinere, unyana kaNere, bekungaphume kukumkani. |
| 38. | Wathi ukumkani kubakhonzi bakhe, Anazi na, ukuba namhlanje kuwe umthetheli, umntu omkhulu kwaSirayeli? |
| 39. | Ke ndisebuthathaka, ndisathanjiswa namhla ukuba ndibe ngukumkani; la madoda, oonyana bakaTseruya, alukhuni kum. Akwaba uYehova angambuyekeza umenzi wobubi kwangobubi bakhe. |
