Raba Iratsindwa, Dawidi Yambara Ikamba
Yowabu arwana i Raba mu gihe Dawidi yagumye mu rugo, nubwo hano umwami aza gufata ikamba. Hanyuma hakurikiraho intambara eshatu n'ibihangange by'Abafilisiti, harimo umugabo w'intoki esheshatu watutse Isiraheli agaterwa hasi n'umuhungu wa mukuru wa Dawidi.
20 1Mu ntangiriro z'umwaka ukurikira, igihe abami bajyaga ku rugamba, Yowabu ayobora ingabo arazisohora, atsemba igihugu cy'Abamoni, hanyuma araza agota Raba, mu gihe Dawidi we yigumira i Yeruzalemu. Yowabu atera Raba arayisenya. 2Dawidi akura ikamba ku mutwe w'umwami wabo. Ryari ripima nk'ibiro mirongo irindwi na bitanu by'izahabu, kandi ryari riteweho ibuye ry'agaciro, maze rishyirwa ku mutwe wa Dawidi. Yanyaze kandi iminyago myinshi cyane muri uwo mujyi. 3Asohora abaturage bawo, abakoresha inkero n'amapiki y'icyuma n'amashoka. Dawidi abigenza atyo no ku mijyi yose y'Abamoni. Hanyuma Dawidi n'ingabo ze zose basubira i Yeruzalemu.
