Nabo bazakhela izindawo eziphakemeyo, nezinsika, nawo-Ashera emagqumeni onke aphakemeyo naphansi kwemithi yonke eluhlaza.

U-Adoniya nabo bonke abamenyiweyo ababe naye bawuzwa sebeqedile ukudla. UJowabe esezwa ukukhala kwecilongo wathi : Ngowani lo msindo wokuxokozela emzini na?

Izinceku zenkosi yama -Aramu zathi kuyo : Unkulunkulu wabo ungunkulunkulu wezintaba , ngalokho basahlula ; kepha masilwe nabo ethafeni, impela siyakubahlula.

uzibalele impi njengaleyo mpi olahlekelwe yiyo , ihhashi ngehhashi, inqola ngenqola, silwe nabo ethafeni , sibahlule impela . Yalalela izwi labo , yenze njalo.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babalwa , baphiwa ukudla , bahamba ukuhlangabezana nabo ; abakwa-Israyeli bamisa phambi kwabo njengemihlanjana emibili yamazinyane ezimbuzi , kepha ama -Aramu agcwalisa izwe.

Izinduna lezo zafunela ukudla inkosi uSolomoni nabo bonke abasondela etafuleni lenkosi uSolomoni , kwaba yileyo naleyo ngenyanga yayo ; kwakungasweleki lutho.

USolomoni wanikela kube ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, owanikela ngawo kuJehova , izinkunzi eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili nezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili . Inkosi nabo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlambulula-ke indlu kaJehova.

Lapho abantwana bakwa -Amoni bebona ukuthi ama -Aramu abalekile , babaleka nabo phambi kuka-Abishayi umfowabo , bangena emzini ; kepha uJowabe waya eJerusalema.

Wakhipha nabantu ababe phakathi kwawo , wabanquma ngamasaha , nangezibhuqo zensimbi , nangamazembe; wenze njalo uDavide kuyo yonke imizi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni. UDavide nabo bonke abantu babuyela eJerusalema.

Asizwa ekulweni nabo , amaHagiri anikelwa ezandleni zawo nabo bonke ababe nawo , ngokuba akhala kuNkulun kulu empini , amncenga, ngokuba ayemethemba.

Kepha uMikiloti wazala uShimeya . Nabo bahlala nabafowabo eJerusalema malungana nabafowabo.

Abafowabo emizaneni yabo babeyakungena emva kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa njalo izikhathi ngezikhathi ukuba babe nabo,

UMikiloti wazala uShimeyamu . Nabo bahlala nabafowabo eJerusalema malungana nabafowabo.

Bathandekayo, masithandane, ngokuba uthando luvela kuNkulunkulu, nabo bonke abathandayo bazelwe nguNkulunkulu, bayamazi uNkulunkulu.

UDavide wayesesuka khona , wabaleka, waya emhumeni wase -Adulamu; lapho abafowabo nabo bonke abendlu kayise bekuzwa, behlela khona kuye.

Kwabuthana kuye bonke abanosizi, nabo bonke abanesikwenetu, nabo bonke abanenhliziyo enomunyu , waba yinduna phezu kwabo ; kwakukhona naye kungathi abantu abangamakhulu amane.

UDavide wathi ku -Ithayi: Hamba, uwele. U-Ithayi umGiti wawela kanye nabo bonke abantu bakhe nazo zonke izingane ezazinaye.

Bheka, kukhona lapho nabo amadodana abo amabili, o-Ahimahasi indodana kaSadoki noJonathani indodana ka -Abiyathara; niyakuthuma kimi ngesandla sabo konke eniyakukuzwa.

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

UDavide wayesefika eMahanayimi . U-Abisalomu waliwela iJordani , yena nabo bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli kanye naye.

Inkosi yathi kumKushe : Isahlezi kahle insizwa u -Abisalomu na? UmKushe wathi: Izitha zenkosi yami , inkosi, nabo bonke abakuvukelayo ukukulimaza mababe njengaleyo nsizwa.

Wazitapa ngezandla zakhe, wahamba, wahamba edla, wafika kuyise nonina, wabapha, badla nabo ; kepha akabatshelanga ukuthi wayetape izinyo si esidumbini sengonyama.

Abantu bakwa-Israyeli baphuma ukuba balwe noBenjamini ; abantu bakwa- Israyeli bazihlelela ukulwa nabo eGibeya.

UBenjamini waphuma eGibeya ukuhlangabezana nabo ngosuku lwesibili , wabuye wabulala kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili; bonke labo babehlome inkemba.

Nxa ngibetha icilongo, mina nabo bonke abanami, bethani nani amacilongo nxazonke zekamu, nithi: EkaJehova nekaGideyoni!

Wayesebehlisela abantu ngasemanzini ; uJehova wathi kuGideyoni : Bonke abaxhapha amanzi ngolimi lwabo njengokuxhapha kwenja babeke bodwa , kanjalo nabo bonke abaguqa ngamadolo ukuba baphuze.

U-Abimeleki nabo bonke abantu ababenaye basuka ebusuku , baqamekela iShekemi ngezigaba ezine.

UZebule wayesethi kuye: Uphi manje umlomo wakho ukuba uthi : Ngubani u-Abimeleki ukuba simkhonze na ? Akusibo labo bantu obadeleleyo na? Ake uphume manje, ulwe nabo.

Bonke abantu baseShekemi bahlangana nabo bonke abaseBeti Milo , baya bambeka u-Abimeleki inkosi ngase-okini letshe lesikhumbuzo elaliseShekemi.

UJehova useduze nabo bonke abambizayo, bonke abambizayo ngeqiniso.

UJehova useduze nabo abanenhliziyo eyaphukileyo ; uyabasindisa abanomoya odabukileyo.

Phikisana, Jehova, nabaphikisana nami, ulwe nabo abalwa nami.

Umhlaba uyancibilika nabo bonke abakhe kuwo ; mina ngimisile izinsika zawo. Sela
