Dawidi ahongerera amaraso ya Sawuli

Dawidi abaza Data wa twese ku bw'inzara y'imyaka itatu, abwirwa ko Sawuli yishe Abagibeyoni; abagabo barindwi bo mu bamukomokaho baramanikwa. Rizpa arinda imirambo yabo ku nyoni n'inyamaswa kugeza imvura iguye; Dawidi arabahamba hamwe n'amagufa ya Sawuli. Hanyuma igihangange cy'Umufilisitiya hafi yo kumwica.

Igice cya 21.

Ku ngoma ya Dawidi haba inzara imyaka itatu, umwaka ukurikira undi; nuko Dawidi arabaza Data wa twese. Data wa twese aravuga ati: “Hari amaraso aryozwa Sawuli n'inzu ye, kuko yishe Abagibeyoni.”

Nuko umwami ahamagaza Abagibeyoni aravugana na bo. (Abagibeyoni ntabwo bari Abisiraheli, ahubwo bari mu basigaye b'Abamori; Abisiraheli bari barahiriye kubakiza, nyamara Sawuli, kubera ishyaka yagiriraga Isiraheli na Yuda, yari yashatse kubica.) Dawidi abaza Abagibeyoni ati: “Nabakorera iki? Nabahongerera nte kugira ngo muhe umugisha abantu ba Data wa twese?”

Abagibeyoni baramubwira bati: “Nta feza cyangwa izahabu biri hagati yacu na Sawuli cyangwa inzu ye, kandi nta burenganzira dufite bwo kwica umuntu muri Isiraheli.” Dawidi ati: “Icyo muzavuga cyose nzagikora.”

Baramubwira umwami bati: “Wa muntu watumariyeho akanacura inama zo kuturimbura, kugira ngo tudasigare n'ahantu na hamwe mu gihugu cya Isiraheli, abagabo barindwi bo mu bamukomokaho bashyikirizwe, maze tubamanike imbere y'Uhoraho i Gibeya ya Sawuli, uwatoranyijwe n'Uhoraho.” Umwami ati: “Nzabatanga.”

Ariko umwami arinda Mefibosheti, mwene Yonatani, mwene Sawuli, kubera indahiro bari barahiriranye imbere ya Data wa twese hagati ya Dawidi na Yonatani, mwene Sawuli. Ariko umwami yafashe Arimoni na Mefibosheti, ba bahungu babiri Risipa umukobwa wa Aya yabyariye Sawuli, hamwe n'abahungu batanu bo kwa Adiriyeli mwene Barizilayi w'i Mehola, abo Merabu umukobwa wa Sawuli yabyariye. Abashyikiriza Abagibeyoni, na bo barabamanika ku musozi imbere ya Data wa twese; abo barindwi bose barapfa icyarimwe. Bishwe mu minsi ya mbere y'isarura, igihe isarura ry'ingano za bushoki ryatangiraga.

Nuko Risipa umukobwa wa Aya afata umwambaro ugaragaza akababaro, awurambika ku rutare, kuva isarura ritangiye kugeza igihe imvura yaguye ku mirambo; ku manywa yirukanaga inyoni zo kuri yo, nijoro akirukana inyamaswa z'ishyamba. ^a Dawidi abwiwe ibyo Risipa umukobwa wa Aya, inshoreke ya Sawuli, yakoze, ajya ku bagabo b'i Yabeshi-Gileyadi afata amagufwa ya Sawuli n'ay'umuhungu we Yonatani, bari barakuye rwihishwa mu kibuga cy'i Betishani, aho Abafilisiti bari barabamanitse ku munsi bishe Sawuli i Gilibowa. Azana amagufwa ya Sawuli n'amagufwa y'umuhungu we Yonatani avuye aho, maze bakoranya amagufwa y'abo bantu bamanitswe. Bashyingura amagufwa ya Sawuli n'amagufwa y'umuhungu we Yonatani i Sela mu gihugu cya Benyamini, mu mva ya se Kishi, bakora ibyo umwami yategetse byose. Nyuma y'ibyo, Data wa twese asubiza amasengesho yasabiye igihugu.

Intwari za Dawidi zitsinda ibihangange by'Abafilisiti

Haba kandi indi ntambara hagati y'Abafilisiti n'Abisiraheli. Dawidi amanuka n'abagaragu be kurwana n'Abafilisiti, maze yananiwe. Ishibi-Benobu, umwe mu bakomoka kuri Rafa, wari ufite umuhunda w'icumu w'umuringa wapimaga nk'ibiro bitatu n'igice kandi wambaye inkota nshya, yari agiye kwica Dawidi. ^b Ariko Abishayi mwene Seruya aza gutabara Dawidi, akubita wa Mufilisiti aramwica. Nuko abagabo ba Dawidi baramurahira bati: “Ntuzongere na rimwe kujya mu rugamba hamwe natwe, utazazimya itara rya Isiraheli.”

Nyuma haba indi ntambara n'Abafilisiti i Goba. Sibekayi w'i Husha akubita Safu, umwe mu bakomoka kuri Rafa. Haba indi ntambara n'Abafilisiti i Goba, aho Elihanani mwene Yare-Oregimu w'i Betelehemu yishe Goliyati w'Umunyagati, we wari afite icumu uruti rwaryo rwari runini nk'igiti cy'ikumbo. Haba kandi intambara i Gati, aho hari umugabo munini cyane wari ufite intoki esheshatu kuri buri kuboko n'intoki esheshatu kuri buri kirenge—zose hamwe makumyabiri na kane; na we yari akomoka kuri Rafa. Igihe yasuzuguraga Isiraheli, Yonatani mwene Shimeyi, umuvandimwe wa Dawidi, aramukubita aramwica. Aba bane bose bakomokaga kuri Rafa i Gati, bagwa ku kuboko kwa Dawidi n'abagaragu be.
