¹²Abhineri mwana wa Neri, pabodzi na atumiki a Isibhoseti mwana wa Sauli, abuluka ku Mahanaimu mbaenda ku Gibheoni. ¹³Yoabhi mwana wa Zeruya na atumiki a Dhavidhi abuluka pontho, mbagumanana na iwo pa dziwe ya Gibheoni—khundu ibodzi ikhakhala pa ng'ambo ino, inango pa ng'ambo iyamwewo. ¹⁴Abhineri apanga Yoabhi kuti: “Aphale alimuke mbamenyana pamaso pathu.” Yoabhi atawira kuti: “Alimuke.”

¹⁵Na tenepo alimuka mbawambuka mwakulengesa, khumi na awiri a Bhenjamini na a Isibhoseti mwana wa Sauli, khumi na awiri a atumiki a Dhavidhi. ¹⁶M'bodzi na m'bodzi aphata nsolo wa ndzace mbam'baya na supada m'luse mwace, mbagwa pabodzi. Na tenepo mbuto ineyi ya Gibheoni yacemerwa Helikati-hazurimu. ^a a v16 Helikati-hazurimu pisabveka “munda wa masupada” — mbuto ineyi yacemerwa tenepa thangwi ya nkhondo yakupha ya manja na manja idamenywa penepo. ¹⁷Nkhondo ya ntsiku ineyi ikhali yakukasha kakamwe; Abhineri na amuna a Izarayeli agwa pamaso pa atumiki a Dhavidhi. ¹⁸Ana atatu a Zeruya akhalipo: Yoabhi, Abhisai, na Asaeli—Asaeli akhali wakuthamanga ninga mbawala ya n'thengo. ¹⁹Iye athukusa Abhineri, mbakhonda kupiluka kumadyo nee kumadzere mukhan'thukusa iye. ²⁰Abhineri alang'ana nduli mbabvundza kuti: “Ndiwe Asaeli?” Iye atawira kuti: “Ndine ine.”

²¹Abhineri ampanga kuti: “Piluka kumadyo peno kumadzere, phata m'phale m'bodzi, kwata pida pyace pya nkhondo.” Mbwenye Asaeli akhonda kusiya kun'thukusa iye. ²²Abhineri apanga pontho Asaeli kuti: “Bwerera nduli. Thangwi yanji usandikakamiza toera ndikuphe? Ndinakwanisa tani kuyang'ana nkhope ya m'bale wako Yoabhi?” ²³Iye akhonda kucinga, na tenepo Abhineri am'baya pa mimba na nthambo wa dipa yace; yabuluka kunsana kwace. Iye agwa penepo mbafa pabodzibodzi. Onsene ale adafika pa mbuto idagwira Asaeli mbafa, alimira dete. ²⁴Yoabhi na Abhisai athukusa Abhineri; pakudoka kwa dzuwa afika pa phiri ya Ama, cifupi na Giya, pa njira yakuenda ku thando ya Gibheoni. ²⁵Amuna a Bhenjamini agumanyikana nduli kwa Abhineri, mbacita nsoka ubodzi, mbalimira pa nsolo wa phiri. ²⁶Abhineri acemera Yoabhi, mbalonga kuti: “Kodi supada inadya anthu kwenda na kwenda? Nkhabe kudziwa kuti pyenepi pinamala mwakuwawa? Mpaka lini toera upange anthu kuti abwerere, mbasiya kuthukusa abale awo?”

²⁷Yoabhi atawira kuti: “Ninga Baba wathu muli maso, mungadakhonda kulonga, anthu mbadapitiriza kuthukusa abale awo mpaka namacibese.” ²⁸Yoabhi aliza nyanga; anyankhondo onsene alimira, nee kuthukusa Izarayeli pontho nee kumenyana. ²⁹Abhineri na amuna ace afamba mu thando ya Arabha masiku onsene aneneo, mbawambuka Yorodani, mbapita na Bhitironi yonsene, mbafika ku Mahanaimu.

³⁰Yoabhi abwerera, mbasiya kuthukusa Abhineri, agumanya anyankhondo onsene, mbaona kuti amuna a Dhavidhi khumi na apfemba nkhabepo, kusiyapo Asaeli. ³¹Mbwenye atumiki a Dhavidhi apha amuna a Bhenjamini madzana matatu na makumatanthatu, ale akhali na Abhineri. ³²Akwata Asaeli, mban'kwirira mu nthumbi ya babace mu Bheremu; Yoabhi na amuna ace afamba masiku onsene, mbafika ku Hebhroni namacibese.
