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 bjalo ka ge Nahashe, tatagwe, a be a kwana le nna.” Ka gona Dafida a roma batseta gore ba ye maemong.
Ge ba fihla Amone, 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? Aowaowaa! O ba romile mo go tlo hlola motse le go o lekola gore a tle a o pšhatle!”
4Hanune a swara batseta ba Dafida, a ba boola maledu ka thoko, a ripa diaparo tša bona mathekeng, mme a ba šupa tsela. 5Ba ile ba lewa ke dihlong kudu go ka boela gae. Ge Dafida a ekwa seo se diregilego, a laela batseta gore ba ba botše gore ba dule Jeriko gomme ba se ke ba boa go fihlela maledu a bona a hlogile gape.
6Baamone ba lemoga gore ba rumotše Dafida, ka gona ba thwala bahlabani ba go sepela ka maoto ba Basiria ba dikete tše masome a mabedi ba Bethe-Rehobo le Tsoba, le banna ba dikete tše lesome le tše pedi ba Tobe, le kgoši ya Maaka le banna ba gagwe ba sekete. 7Dafida a kwa taba yeo gomme a romela Joaba go yo lwa le bona ka madira, e le bahlabani ba bogale ka moka. 8Baamone ba tšwa motseng wa bona gomme ba ipeakanya kgorong. Ba bangwe bona, e lego Basiria le banna ba Tobe le ba Maaka, ba ema thoko ye nngwe kua nageng.
9Joaba a bona gore madira a manaba a tlile go mo hlasela ka pele le ka morago, ka gona a kgetha bahlabani ba bogalegale ba Baisraele, a ba emiša go lebana le Basiria. 10Madira a a šetšego a a nea Abishai, morwarragwe, gore a a laole, gomme Abishai a a emiša go lebana le Baamone. 11Joaba 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. 12O tie gomme re lwele setšhaba sa gaborena le metse ya Modimo wa rena ka bogale. Gomme a Morena a dire se a se nyakago!”
13Joaba le banna ba gagwe ba batamela gore ba hlasele, gomme Basiria ba hlanola direthe. 14Ge Baamone ba bona Basiria ba tšhaba, le bona ba tšhaba Abishai mme ba boela motseng. Joaba a tlogela Baamone a gomela Jerusalema.
15Basiria ba lemoga gore ba fentšwe ke Baisraele, ka gona ba bokanya madira a bona. 16Kgoši Hadade-Esere a laela gore Basiria ba ba bego ba le ka bohlabela bja noka ya Yufratese ba bitšwe, gomme ba fihla Helamo ba laolwa ke Shobake, molaodi wa madira a Kgoši Hadade-Esere. 17Ge Dafida a ekwa taba yeo, a bokanya madira ka moka a Baisraele, a tshela noka ya Jordane gomme a ya Helamo, moo Basiria ba bego ba ipeakantše ba lebane le yena. Ntwa ya thoma, 18gomme Basiria ba tšhaba Baisraele. Dafida le banna ba gagwe ba bolaya basepediši ba dikoloi tša ntwa tša Basiria ba makgolo a a šupago, le banamedi ba dipere ba dikete tše masome a mane, gomme ba gobatša Shobake, molaodi wa madira a manaba, yoo a ilego a hwela moo lebaleng la ntwa. 19Ge magoši a e bego e le a Hadade-Esere a lemoga gore a fentšwe ke Baisraele, a kwana le bona gore naga e lale mme ya ba batho ba bona.
