ngokuba uJowabe naye wonke u -Israyeli bahlala khona izinyanga eziyisithupha, waze waqeda bonke abesilisa kwa-Edomi

UHadadi esezwile eGibithe ukuthi uDavide ulele koyise nokuthi uJowabe induna yempi ufile, uHadadi wathi kuFaro: Ngivumele ukuba ngihambe ngiye ezweni lakithi.

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

Lapho kufika umbiko kuJowabe ngokuba uJowabe -- wayemlandele u - Adoniya noma engamlandelanga u -Abisalomu uJowabe -- wabaleka, waya etendeni likaJehova, wabamba izimpondo ze-altare.

Inkosi uSolo moni yatshelwa ukuthi : UJowabe ubalekele etendeni likaJehova; bheka, ungase-altare. USolomoni wayesethuma uBenaya indodana kaJehoyada ngokuthi: Hamba, umsukele.

UBenaya wafika etendeni likaJehova , wathi kuye : Isho kanje inkosi , ithi: Phuma. Wathi: Qha, ngiyakufela lapha . UBenaya wabuyisela enkosini izwi lokuthi: Washo njalo uJowabe, wangiphendula kanjalo.

UDavide wathi: Lowo ochitha amaJebusi kuqala uyakuba yinhloko nenduna. Kwenyuka kuqala uJowabe indodana kaSeruya, waba yinhloko.

Wakha umuzi nxazonke kusukela eMilo kuya nxazonke; uJowabe wavusa okuseleyo komuzi.

UJowabe indodana kaSeruya wayephezu kwempi ; uJehoshafati, indodana ka-Ahiludi, wayengumabhalana;

UJowabe esebona ukuthi impi ibhekene naye ngaphambili nangasemuva , wakhetha kwabakhethekileyo bonke bakwa -Israyeli, wabahlela ukuba balwe nama-Aramu;

UJowabe nabantu ababe naye base besondela kuwo ama -Aramu ukuba balwe; kepha abaleka phambi kwakhe.

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

UDavide esezwile lokho wamthuma uJowabe nempi yonke yamaqhawe.

Emva komnyaka ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwamakhosi , uJowabe wahola amaqhawe empi , wachitha izwe labantwana bakwa -Amoni, weza wavimbezela iRaba ; kepha uDavide wahlala eJerusalema . UJowabe walinqoba iRaba, walidiliza.

UJowabe wathi: UJehova makenezele kubantu bakhe, kuphindwe kayikhulu phezu kwalokhu abayikho; kepha, nkosi yami, nkosi, abasizo izinceku zenkosi yami bonke na ? Inkosi yami ifunelani le nto na ? Iyakuba yicala ngani ku - Israyeli na?

Nokho izwi lenkosi lamahlula uJowabe . UJowabe waphuma , wadabula wonke u-Israyeli, wafika eJerusalema.

UJowabe wanika uDavide umumo wabantu ababaliweyo ; wonke u -Israyeli wayeyizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane nezinkulungw ane eziyikhulu abahloma inkemba ; uJuda wayeyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane namashumi ayisikhombisa.

UJowabe indodana kaSe ruya waqala ukubala , kepha akaqedanga; kwaba khona ulaka ngalokho phezu kuka-Israyeli, nomumo awufakwanga encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yenkosi uDavide.

emva kuka -Ahithofeli kwakunguJehoyada indodana kaBenaya no - Abiyathara; uJowabe wayeyinduna yempi yenkosi.

UJowabe nabantu ababe naye base besondela ukuba balwe nama -Aramu; kepha abaleka phambi kwakhe.

Lapho abantwana bakwa -Amoni bebona ukuthi ama -Aramu abalekile , babaleka nabo phambi kuka-Abishayi, bangena emzini. UJowabe wayesebuya kubantwana bakwa-Amoni, weza eJerusalema.

UDavide esezwile lokho wamthuma uJowabe nempi yonke yamaqhawe.

Kepha uJowabe esebona ukuthi izimpondo zempi zimhaqile ngaphambili nangasemuva wakhetha kwabakhethekileyo bakwa-Israyeli, wabahlela ukuba balwe nama-Aramu;

Emva komnyaka ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwamakhosi uDavide wamthuma uJowabe nezinceku zakhe zinaye kanye no -Israyeli wonke , babachitha abantwana bakwa-Amoni, bavimbezela iRaba ; kepha uDavide wahlala eJerusalema.

U-Uriya wathi kuDavide : Umphongolo, no-Israyeli, noJuda bahlezi emadokodweni; inkosi yami uJowabe nezinceku zenkosi yami zimisile endle ; mina-ke, pho, ngingene endlini yami, ngidle, ngiphuze, ngilale nomkami na? Kuphila kwakho nokuphila komphefumulo wakho, angiyikuyenza leyo nto.

Kwathi ekuseni uDavide wamlobela uJowabe incwadi , wayithuma ngesandla sika-Uriya.

Kwathi uJowabe esahlozinga umuzi , wammisa u-Uriya endaweni lapho azi ukuthi kukhona amadoda anamandla.

UJowabe wayesethuma wamtshela uDavide zonke izindaba zempi;

UDavide wayesethumela kuJowabe ngokuthi : Thuma kimi u -Uriya umHeti. UJowabe wamthuma u-Uriya kuDavide.

UJowabe walwa neRaba labantwana bakwa -Amoni, wathatha umuzi wenkosi.

UJowabe wathuma izithunywa kuDavide , wathi: Ngilwe neRaba , yebo, ngathatha uMuzi Wamanzi.

UJowabe indo dana kaSeruya wayeseqonda ukuthi inhliziyo yenkosi iku - Abisalomu.

Yathi-ke inkosi : Isandla sikaJowabe sinawe yini kukho konke lokhu na ? Owesifazane waphendula wathi: Kuphila kwakho, nkosi yami, nkosi, akukho muntu ongaphendukela ngakwesokunene nangakwesokhohlo kukho konke okukhulunywe yinkosi yami , inkosi, ngokuba inceku yakho uJowabe yangiyaleza, yafunza onke lawo mazwi emlonyeni wencekukazi yakho;

Umuntu othile wakubona , wamtshela uJowabe, wathi: Bheka, ngibone u - Abisalomu ephanyekekile e-okini.

UJowabe wathi kumuntu omtshelileyo : Bheka, ukubonile, awumjuqanga ngani khona , awele phansi , na? Nga ngikunikile izinhlamvu eziyishumi zesiliva nebhande.

Wayesethi uJowabe : Anginakulibala kanje nawe . Wathatha imikhonto emithathu ngesandla sakhe, wambhokoda u-Abisalomu enhliziyweni esezwa, ephakathi kwe-oki.

UJowabe wayesebetha icilongo , abantu babuya ekumxosheni u -Israyeli, ngokuba uJowabe wabagodla abantu.

UJowabe wathi kuye : Awuyikuba ngumbiki wendaba namuhla , kepha uyakubika ngolunye usuku ; namuhla awuyikubika lutho , ngokuba indodana yenkosi ifile.

Wayesethi uJowabe kumKushe : Hamba, uyitshele inkosi okubonileyo . UmKushe wamkhothamela uJowabe, wagijima.

U-Ahimahasi indodana kaSadoki wabuye wathi kuJowabe : Noma kanjani, ake ngigijime nami , ngimlandele umKushe . Kepha uJowabe wathi : Uyakugijimelani wena mntanami , lokhu kungekho mvuzo wombiko kuwe , na?

Kwabikelwa uJowabe ukuthi: Bheka, inkosi iyakhala, imlilela u-Abisalomu.
