Ineza ya Dawidi ihōrwa isoni

Dawidi yohereza ubutumwa bwo guhumuriza umwami mushya w'Abamoni, maze abajyanama be bavuga ko intumwa ari abatasi; barakozwa isoni, bakogoshwa igice. Ibyatangiye nk'ineza bihinduka intambara y'impande ebyiri ifite amagare y'intambara yakodeshejwe, igasoza Aramu yanze kongera gutabara Abamoni.

Igice cya 19.

Hashize iminsi, Nahashi umwami w'Abamoni arapfa, maze umuhungu we amusimbura ku ngoma. Dawidi aravuga ati: “Hanuni mwene Nahashi nzamugirira neza, kuko se yangiriye neza.” Nuko Dawidi yohereza intumwa kugira ngo zimuhumurize ku rupfu rwa se. Ariko intumwa za Dawidi zigeze mu gihugu cy'Abamoni, kwa Hanuni ngo zimuhumurize, abatware b'Abamoni babwira Hanuni bati: “Mbese ubona ko Dawidi yubaha so koko, bitumye akoherereza abakuhumuriza? Aho abagaragu be ntibaba baje iwawe kugenzura no kurimbura no gutata igihugu?” Hanuni afata intumwa za Dawidi, arazogosha, imyambaro yazo ayikatira hagati ku rukenyerero, maze arazohereza. Bamaze kubwira Dawidi ibyabaye ku bo bantu, yohereza intumwa zo kubasanganira, kuko bari bakozwe n'isoni cyane. Umwami aravuga ati: “Nimugume i Yeriko kugeza ubwo ubwanwa bwanyu buzaba bwamaze kumera, maze mugaruke.”

Abamoni babonye ko batumye Dawidi abazinukwa, Hanuni n'Abamoni bohereza toni mirongo itatu n'umunani z'ifeza kugira ngo bishakire amagare y'intambara n'abagendera ku mafarasi bo muri Aramu-Naharayimu, na Aramu-Māka na Soba. Bishakira amagare y'intambara ibihumbi mirongo itatu na bibiri, n'umwami wa Māka n'ingabo ze, baza bagatera inkambi ahateganye na Medeba. Abamoni bakoranira bava mu mijyi yabo, basohoka kugira ngo barwane. Dawidi abimenye, yohereza Yowabu n'ingabo zose z'intwari. Abamoni basohoka bitegura urugamba ku irembo ry'umujyi, naho abami bari baje bahagarara bonyine mu gasozi.

Yowabu abonye ko urugamba rumusatiriye imbere n'inyuma, atoranya ingabo z'intwari mu Bisiraheli, azitondeka ngo zihangane n'Abanyasiriya. Izindi ngabo zose azishyira mu maboko ya murumuna we Abishayi, zitondekera kurwana n'Abamoni. Yowabu aravuga ati: “Abanyasiriya nibandusha amaboko, uzantabare; naho Abamoni nibakurusha amaboko, nzagutabara. Komera, turwane n'ubutwari ku bw'ubwoko bwacu n'imijyi ya Data wacu, kandi Data wacu akore ibyiza mu maso ye.”

Nuko Yowabu n'ingabo zari kumwe na we basatira Abanyasiriya ngo barwane, maze Abanyasiriya barahunga imbere ye. Abamoni babonye ko Abanyasiriya bahunze, na bo barahunga imbere ya Abishayi murumuna we, binjira mu mujyi. Nuko Yowabu agaruka i Yeruzalemu.

Abanyasiriya bamaze kubona ko batsinzwe n'Abisiraheli, bohereza intumwa bakuramo Abanyasiriya batuye hakurya y'uruzi rwa Efurati, bayobowe na Shobaki umugaba w'ingabo za Hadadezeri. Dawidi abimenye, akoranya ingabo zose z'Abisiraheli, yambuka Yorodani, abasanga, abitondeka ku rugamba. Dawidi yitondeka ku rugamba, arwana n'Abanyasiriya, maze bararwana. Abanyasiriya bahunga imbere y'Abisiraheli. Dawidi abicamo ingabo ibihumbi birindwi zirwanira mu magare y'intambara, n'ibihumbi mirongo ine bagenza amaguru, yica na Shobaki umugaba w'ingabo zabo. Abagaragu ba Hadadezeri babonye ko batsinzwe n'Abisiraheli, bagirana amahoro na Dawidi maze baramuyoboka. Nuko Abanyasiriya banga kongera gutabara Abamoni.
