³Varume vaDhavhidhi vakati, “Tarira, tiri kutya pano muJudha, zvino tichatozotya zvikuru sei kana tikaenda kuKeira kundorwisana nehondo yavaFiristia!”

⁴Dhavhidhi akabvunzazve Baba vedu, Baba vedu vakapindura vakati, “Simuka, uburuke uende kuKeira, nokuti ndichaisa vaFiristia muruoko rwako.”

⁵Dhavhidhi navarume vake vakaenda kuKeira, vakarwa navaFiristia, vakatinha zvipfuwo zvavo, uye vakavarova zvikuru, vakanunura vagari veKeira.

⁶Abhiatari mwanakomana waAhimereki akanga atizira kuna Dhavhidhi paKeira; akasvika akabata efodhi muruoko rwake.

⁷Sauro akati anzwa kuti Dhavhidhi ari muKeira, akati, “Mwari aisa Dhavhidhi mumaoko angu; azvipinza mumusungo nokupinda muguta rine magedhi nemazariro.” ⁸Sauro akadana vanhu vose kuhondo, kuti vaende kuKeira, vandokomba Dhavhidhi navarume vake. ⁹Dhavhidhi akaziva kuti Sauro akanga achimurangira zvakaipa, akaudza Abhiatari muprista achiti, “Uya nefodhi pano.” ¹⁰Dhavhidhi akati, “Haiwa Baba vangu, Mwari waIsraeri, muranda wenyu anzwa zvechokwadi kuti Sauro ari kuronga kuuya kuKeira kuti aparadze guta nokuda kwangu.

¹³Dhavhidhi navarume vake vangasvika mazana matanhatu vakabva paKeira, vakadzungaira vachibva nzvimbo nenzvimbo. Sauro paakaudzwa kuti Dhavhidhi akanga apukunyuka kubva muKeira, akarega kumutevera. ¹⁴Dhavhidhi akagara munhare dzomurenje nomunyika ine zvikomo yomurenje reZifi. Sauro akamutsvaga mazuva ose, asi Baba vedu havana kumuisa muruoko rwake. ¹⁵Dhavhidhi akanga ari paHoreshi murenje reZifi paakaona kuti Sauro akanga abuda kuzotsvaka upenyu hwake. ¹⁶Jonatani mwanakomana waSauro akasimuka akaenda kuna Dhavhidhi paHoreshi, akamusimbisa muna Baba vedu. ¹⁷Akati, “Usatya. Ruoko rwababa vangu Sauro harungakuwani. Uchava mambo pamusoro peIsraeri, uye ini ndichava wechipiri kwauri. Kunyange baba vangu Sauro vanozviziva.” ¹⁸Vose vari vaviri vakaita sungano pamberi paBaba vedu. Dhavhidhi akagara paHoreshi; Jonatani akaenda kumba.

¹⁹Ipapo vaZifi vakakwira kuna Sauro paGibhea, vachiti, “Ko Dhavhidhi haasi kuvanda pakati pedu munhare paHoreshi, pachikomo cheHakira zasi kweJeshimoni here? ²⁰Zvino, imi mambo, burukai, burukai henyu, pamunoda; basa redu nderokumuisa mumaoko amambo.”

Ndichaenda nemi, uye kana ari munyika, ndichamutsvaga pakati pemhuri dzose dzaJudha.”

Dhavhidhi navarume vake vakanga vari murenje reMaoni, muArabha nechezasi kweJeshimoni. ²⁵Sauro navarume vake vakasimuka kuzotsvaka, Dhavhidhi akaudzwa. Akaburuka akaenda kudombo, akagara murenje reMaoni. Sauro akazvinzwa, akatevera Dhavhidhi kusvika murenje reMaoni. ²⁶Sauro akafamba nerumwe rutivi rwegomo, Dhavhidhi navarume vake vachifamba nerumwe rutivi, Dhavhidhi achikurumidza kutiza Sauro, Sauro navarume vake vachiswedera kuti vabate Dhavhidhi navarume vake. ²⁷Asi nhume yakauya kuna Sauro, ichiti, “Kurumidzai kuuya! VaFiristia vari kupamba nyika.” ²⁸Saka Sauro akarega kutevera Dhavhidhi, akaenda kundorwisa vaFiristia. Ndokusaka vakatumidza nzvimbo iyoyo kuti Sera-hamaharekoti. ^a a v28 Sera-hamaharekoti zvinoreva kuti “dombo rokuparadzana” — nzvimbo iyo Sauro naDhavhidhi vakaparadzaniswa pairi apo kupamba kwavaFiristia kwakamanikidza Sauro kuti arege kudzingirira. ²⁹Dhavhidhi akakwira achibva ipapo, akandogara munhare dzeEni Gedhi.
