20 ¹Zvino ipapo paiva nomunhu asina maturo ainzi Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri, muBhenjamini. Akaridza hwamanda akadanidzira achiti, “Hatina mugove muna Dhavhidhi, hatina nhaka mumwanakomana waJese! Mumwe nomumwe kumatende ake, imi vaIsraeri!”

²Saka varume vose vaIsraeri vakasiya Dhavhidhi vakatevera Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri; asi varume vaJudha vakaramba vari namambo wavo, kubva paJoridhani kusvika kuJerusarema.

³Dhavhidhi vakasvika kumba kwavo kuJerusarema, mambo vakatora varongo gumi vavakanga vasiya kuti vachengete imba, vakavaisa pasi pavarindi. Vakavapa zvokudya asi havana kuvata navo. Vakagara vakapfigirwa kusvikira vafa, vachirarama sechirikadzi.

⁴Mambo vakati kuna Amasa, “Ndidanire varume vaJudha mukati mamazuva matatu, uye newe pachako uve pano.”

⁵Amasa akaenda kundodana vaJudha, asi akanonoka kupfuura nguva yavakanga vamutarira mambo. ⁶Dhavhidhi vakati kuna Abhishai, “Zvino Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri achatikuvadza kupfuura Abhusaromu. Tora varume vatenzi vako umudzingirire, zvimwe angawana maguta akakomberedzwa otipukunyuka.”

⁷Saka varume vaJoabhu, vaKereti, vaPereti, nemhare dzose dzehondo vakabuda vachimutevera kubva kuJerusarema kuti vadzingirire Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri. ⁸Pedyo nedombo guru riri kuGibhiyoni, Amasa akasangana navo. Joabhu akanga akapfeka nguo yake yehondo, aine munondo wakasungirirwa pachiuno chake uri muhwanda; paakaswedera mberi, wakadonhera pasi. ⁹Joabhu akati kuna Amasa, “Wakadini hako, mukoma wangu?” Joabhu akabata ndebvu dzaAmasa noruoko rwake rworudyi kuti amutsvode. ¹⁰Amasa haana kuona munondo wakanga uri muruoko rwaJoabhu. Joabhu akamubaya mudumbu, ura hwake hukateuka pasi. Pasina kumubaya kechipiri, Amasa akafa. Ipapo Joabhu nomununʼuna wake Abhishai vakadzingirira Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri. ¹¹Mumwe wamajaya aJoabhu akamira pedyo naAmasa akati, “Ani naani anoda Joabhu, uye ani naani ari kudivi raDhavhidhi—ngaatevere Joabhu!” ¹²Amasa akanga akavata achiumburuka muropa rake pakati penzira. Murume uyu paakaona kuti mauto ose akanga achimira ipapo, akakwevera Amasa kunze kwenzira akamuisa mumunda, akakanda nguo pamusoro pake, nokuti mumwe nomumwe aipfuura aimira. ¹³Paakabviswa munzira, varume vose vakatevera Joabhu kuti vadzingirire Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri. ¹⁴Shebha akapfuura nomumarudzi ose aIsraeri kusvika kuAbheri reBheti Maaka; vaBhiki vose vakaungana vakamuteverawo. ¹⁵Vakauya vakamukomba muAbheri reBheti Maaka. Vakavaka mudunhuru wokurwisa guta, wakamira wakatarisana norusvingo rwokunze, mauto ose aJoabhu achirova rusvingo kuti ariputsire pasi.

¹⁶Ipapo mukadzi akachenjera akadanidzira ari muguta achiti, “Teererai! Teererai! Udzai Joabhu muti, ‘Uya pano, kuti nditaure newe.’” ¹⁷Paakaswedera pedyo, mukadzi akabvunza akati, “Ndimi Joabhu here?” “Ndini,” akadaro. Mukadzi akati, “Inzwai mashoko omurandakadzi wenyu.” “Ndiri kuteerera,” akadaro.

¹⁸Akati, “Panguva yekare vaiwanzoti, ‘Chingobvunzai mazano paAbheri,’ nenzira iyoyo nyaya yaipera. ¹⁹Ini ndiri pakati pavane rugare navakatendeka muIsraeri. Imi muri kuedza kuparadza guta, mai pakati paIsraeri. Sei muchida kumedza nhaka yaBaba vedu?” ^a a v19 ‘Guta ramai’ raiva nzvimbo huru yedunhu iyo maguta madiki aivimba nayo pakutungamirirwa nokudzivirirwa.

²⁰Joabhu akapindura akati, “Kwete, kwete, handingatongomedzi kana kuparadza! ²¹Hazvina kudaro. Asi Shebha mwanakomana waBhikiri, anobva kuzvikomo zvaEfuremu, amukira mambo, amukira Dhavhidhi. Ndipei murume uyu mumwe oga, uye ndichabva paguta.” Mukadzi akati kuna Joabhu, “Musoro wake uchakandirwa kwamuri napamusoro porusvingo.”

²²Mukadzi akaenda kuvanhu vose nezano rake rokungwara. Vakagura musoro waShebha mwanakomana waBhikiri vakaukandira Joabhu. Akaridza hwamanda, vakapararira vachibva muguta, mumwe nomumwe achienda kumba kwake. Joabhu akadzokera kuna mambo kuJerusarema.

²³Joabhu aitungamirira hondo yose yaIsraeri; Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha aitungamirira vaKereti navaPereti. ²⁴Adhoramu ndiye aitarisira basa rechibharo; Jehoshafati mwanakomana waAhirudhi aiva munyori wenhoroondo; ²⁵Sheva aiva munyori; uye Zadhoki naAbhiatari vaiva vapristi; ²⁶uye Ira muJairi aivawo mupristi waDhavhidhi.
