1 IZikhronike 20
Ukuvinjezelwa KweRabha Nokulwa NamaFilisti
1Kwathi sekwedlule unyaka, ngesikhathi amakhosi aphuma ahlasele ngaso, uJowabe wahola amaqhawe empi, wabhubhisa izwe labakwa-Amoni. Wahamba wavimbezela iRabha, kodwa uDavide wayesele eJerusalema. UJowabe wahlasela iRabha, walinqoba. 2UDavide wathatha umqhele wenkosi yabo ekhanda layo, wathola ukuthi isisindo sawo sasiyithalenta legolide; wawunetshe eliyigugu; wabekwa ekhanda likaDavide. Wathatha emzini impango eningi kakhulu. 3UDavide wakhipha abantu ababekuyo yonke imizi yabakwa-Amoni, wabanquma ngamasaha, ngezibhuqo zensimbi, nangamazembe.
Impi Phakathi Kuka-Israyeli NamaFilisti
4Kwathi emveni kwaleso sehlakalo kwaqubuka impi phakathi kuka-Israyeli namaFilisti eGezeri. USibhekhayi, umHushathi, wabulala uSiphayi, enye yamadodana amaRefa; anqotshwa amaFilisti.
5Kwaphinda kwaqubuka enye impi namaFilisti. U-Elihanani, indodana kaJayire, wabulala uLahimi, umfowabo kaGoliyathi, umGithi; uthi lomkhonto ayewuphatha lwalungangogongolo lomaluki.
6Kwaphinda futhi kwaba nempi eGathi, lapho kwakukhona umuntu owayemude kakhulu; eneminwe eyisithupha esandleni ngasinye, kanjalo nasezinyaweni enezinzwani eziyisithupha unyawo ngalunye, sekukonke kungama-24. Naye wayezalwa ngamaRefa. 7Wamedelela u-Israyeli; ngakho-ke uJonathani, indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavide, wambulala.
8Yibo laba ababeyizizukulwane zamaRefa eGathi, ababulawa nguDavide, nezinceku zakhe.
