1Ka morago ga lebaka Kgoši Nahashe wa Amone a hwa, gomme morwa wa gagwe, Hanune, ya ba kgoši. 2Kgoši Dafida a re: “Ke nyaka go kwana le Hanune ka gobane Nahashe, tatagwe, o be a kwana le nna.” Ka gona Dafida a roma batseta gore ba ye maemong.
Ge ba fihla nageng ya Amone go Kgoši Hanune go tlo mo lliša, 3baetapele ba Baamone ba re go kgoši: “A o gopola gore ke gona go hlompha tatago ge Dafida a romile batho ba go tlo go lliša? Le gateetee! O ba romile mo go tlo hlola naga le go e lekola gore a tle a e menole!”
4Hanune a swara batseta bale ba Dafida, a ba boola maledu, a ripa diaparo tša bona dinokeng, gomme a ba šupa tsela. 5Ba be ba lewa ke dihlong kudu go ka boela gae. Ge Dafida a ekwa gore go diregile eng, a roma batho go yo ba botša gore ba dule Jeriko mme ba se ke ba boa go fihlela maledu a bona a hlogile gape.
6Baamone ba lemoga gore ba befedišitše Dafida. Ka gona ba ntšha silibera ya dikilokramo tše dikete tše masome a mararo go thwala banamedi ba dipere le dikoloi tša ntwa tša Basiria kua Mesopotamia le tša mebušo ya Siria, e lego wa Maaka le wa Tsoba. 7Ba thwala madira a Maaka le kgoši ya naga yeo le dikoloi tša ntwa tše dikete tše masome a mararo le tše pedi, gomme ba tla ba hloma mešaša pele ga motse wa Medeba. Baamone le bona ba tšwa metseng ya bona gomme ba itokišetša ntwa.
8Ge Dafida a ekwa taba yeo, a romela Joaba le madira go yo lwa le bona. Ka moka ga bona e be e le bahlabani ba bogale. 9Baamone ba tšwa motseng wa bona mme ba ipeakanya kgorong, gomme magoši a a bego a tlile go thuša a ema thoko ye nngwe kua nageng.
10Joaba a bona gore madira a manaba a mo potile ka pele le ka morago, ka gona a kgetha bahlabani ba bogalegale ba Baisraele a ba beakanya go lebana le Basiria. 11Madira a a šetšego a a nea Abishai, morwarragwe, gore a a laole, gomme Abishai a a beakanya go lebana le Baamone. 12Joaba a re go yena: “Ge o bona gore Basiria ba a mphenya, o tle o nthuše, gomme ge Baamone ba go fenya, ke tla tla ka go thuša. 13O tiiše, re be le sebete, re lwele setšhaba sa gaborena le metse ya Modimo wa rena ka bogale. Gomme a thato ya Morena e direge.”
14Joaba le banna ba gagwe ba batamela gore ba hlasele, gomme Basiria ba hlanola direthe. 15Ge Baamone ba bona Basiria ba tšhaba, le bona ba tšhaba Abishai ba boela motseng. Ke moo Joaba a ipoeletšego Jerusalema.
16Basiria ba lemoga gore ba fentšwe ke Baisraele, ka gona ba roma batseta go yo bitša Basiria ba ba bego ba le ka bohlabela bja noka ya Yufratese, gomme ba tla ba laolwa ke Shobake, molaodi wa madira a Kgoši Hadade-Esere. 17Ge Dafida a ekwa taba yeo, a kgobokanya madira ka moka a Baisraele, a tshela Jordane, gomme a ba beakanya gore ba lwe le Basiria. Ntwa ya thoma, 18gomme Basiria ba tšhaba Baisraele. Dafida le banna ba gagwe ba bolaya baotledi ba dikoloi tša ntwa tša Basiria ba dikete tše di šupago, le bahlabani ba go sepela ka maoto ba dikete tše masome a mane. Ba bolaya le Shobake, molaodi wa madira a Siria. 19Ge magoši a a bego a bušwa ke Hadade-Esere a lemoga gore a fentšwe ke Baisraele, a kwana le Dafida gore ntwa e fele, gomme ba napa ba ba batho ba gagwe. Basiria ba se hlwe ba rata go thuša Baamone gape.
