Igice 19.

Haciye igihe, Nahashi umwami w’Abamoni arapfa, umwana wiwe aba umwami mu kibanza ciwe. Dawidi aravuga ati: “Nzogirira neza Hanuni mwene Nahashi, kuko se yangiriye neza.” Nuko Dawidi aratuma intumwa kugira zimuhoze ku vyerekeye se. Ariko abasavyi ba Dawidi bashitse mu gihugu c’Abamoni, kwa Hanuni, kugira bamuhoze, abakuru b’ingabo z’Amoni babwira Hanuni bati: “Mbega wibaza yuko Dawidi ashima so koko ari co gituma akurungikiye abahozanyi? None abasavyi biwe ntibazanywe gukenguruka, gusenyura no gutata igihugu?” Hanuni afata abasavyi ba Dawidi, arabamwa, aca impuzu zabo hagati ku biganda, maze arabasezerera. Igihe babwira Dawidi ivyerekeye abo bantu, aratuma intumwa kubasanganira, kuko bari bamaramaye cane. Umwami aravuga ati: “Mugume i Yeriko gushika ubwanwa bwanyu bwamize, maze mugaruke.”

Abamoni babonye ko bacitse icononubunuka kuri Dawidi, Hanuni n’Abamoni barungika uburemere nk’amatoni mirongo itatu n’umunani vy’ifeza kugira bagure amakariyo n’abagendera ku mafarasi kwa Aramu-Naharayimu, Aramu-Mahaka na Zoba. Bagura amakariyo ibihumbi mirongo itatu na bibiri, hamwe n’umwami wa Mahaka n’ingabo ziwe, baza bakambika imbere ya Medeba. Abamoni bakoranira bava mu bisagara vyabo, basohoka kuja kurwana. Dawidi avyumvise, aratuma Yowabu n’ingabo zose z’abantu b’intwari. Abamoni basohoka, batondeka ingabo zabo ku kwinjira mu gisagara, mu gihe abami bari baje bahagararira ukwabo mu gahinga.

Yowabu abonye ko intambara yamuteguriwe imbere n’inyuma, atoranya intwari nziza cane za Isirayeli, azitondeka zihanganye n’Abanyaramu. Abandi bantu ababishikiriza mwene wabo Abishayi, bazitondeka zihanganye n’Abamoni. Yowabu aravuga ati: “Nimba Aramu bandushije inguvu, uze umbokore; nimba Amoni bakurushije inguvu, nzoza ngukure mu minwe yabo. Nugire umutima rukak, turwane n’ubutwari ku bw’abantu bacu no ku bw’ibisagara vya Data wa twese, kandi Data wa twese agire ivyiza mu maso yiwe.”

Nuko Yowabu n’ingabo zari kumwe na we biyegereza kugira barwane n’Abanyaramu, maze baramuhunga. Abamoni babonye ko Aramu bahunze, na bo nyene bahunga imbere ya Abishayi mwene wabo, binjira mu gisagara. Nuko Yowabu araza i Yeruzalemu.

Abanyaramu babonye ko Isirayeli abatsinze, barungika intumwa bazana Abanyaramu bava hakuya ya ruzi Ewufurate, Shofaki umukuru w’ingabo za Hadadezeri ari imbere yabo. Dawidi arabibwirwa; akoraniriza hamwe Isirayeli yose, yambuka Yorodani, abazako, maze atondeka ingabo ku rugamba. Dawidi atondeka ingabo zihanganye n’Abanyaramu, maze bararwana na we. Abanyaramu bahunga imbere ya Isirayeli. Dawidi yica abagendera ku makariyo babo ibihumbi indwi n’abagenda n’amaguru ibihumbi mirongo ine, maze yica Shofaki umukuru w’ingabo zabo. Abasavyi ba Hadadezeri babonye ko Isirayeli abatsinze, bagirana amahoro na Dawidi, bamukorera. Aramu ntiyongera gushaka gufasha Abamoni.
