Kwathi ngangomuso uSawule waviva abantu ngezigaba ezintathu ; bafika phakathi kwekamu ngomlindo wokusa , babulala abakwa-Amoni, laze lashisa ilanga; kwathi abaseleyo bahlakazeka, akusalanga kubo ababili bendawonye.

Ngalokho uJehova wathukuthelela u -Israyeli, wabasusa ebusweni bakhe ; akusalanga muntu, isizwe sakwaJuda kuphela.

bakhuphukela ukulwa noJuda , bafohlela kuye , basusa yonke impahla eyayifumaniseka endlini yenkosi kanye namadodana akhe nawomkakhe ; akusalanga ndodana kuyo, uJehowahazi omncane emadodaneni ayo kuphela.

Kwathi besesendleleni, kwafika izwi kuDavide , lithi: U-Abisalomu ubulele onke amadodana enkosi, akusalanga neyodwa yawo.

UDavide wayesesuka nabo bonke abantu ababe naye , bawela iJordani ; ngasekuseni akusalanga noyedwa ongaliwelanga iJordani.

Inceku enje yenkosi yami ingakhuluma kanjani nenkosi yami enje na ? Ngokuba mina , khona lapho akusalanga mandla kimi , nokuphefumula bekungasekho kimi.

Ngashiywa ngedwa ; ngawubona lombono omkhulu, akusalanga mandla kimi, ngokuba ubuhle bami baphenduka ukonakala kimi, angaba namandla.

Akusalanga lutho angaludlanga; ngalokho inhlanhla yakhe ayiyikuma.

Bachitha bonke ababekulo ngosiko lwenkemba , babaqothula, akusalanga noyedwa ophefumulayo; walishisa iHasori ngomlilo.

Akusalanga noyedwa kuwo ama-Anaki ezweni labantwana bakwa -Israyeli; asala eGaza kuphela, naseGati, nase-Ashidodi.

Akusalanga muntu e -Ayi naseBethele ongaphumanga ukubaxosha abakwa - Israyeli, bawushiya umuzi ugengelezile, babaxosha abakwa-Israyeli.

Ngokuba uJehova wayeshilo ngabo wathi : Bayakufa nokufa ehlane . Akusalanga muntu kubo ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune noJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
