2 Ukufuma fye na kale+ ilyo Shauli ali imfumu yesu, ni mwe mwaletungulula Israele mu bulwi.+ Na Yehova atile kuli imwe, ‘Ni we ukacema+ abantu bandi abena Israele, kabili iwe ukaba intungulushi+ pa bena Israele.’”
3 E ico abakalamba+ bonse aba mu Israele baile ku mfumu ku Hebrone, kabili Imfumu Davidi yapangene icipangano+ na bo mu Hebrone ku cinso ca kwa Yehova; e lyo basubile+ Davidi ukuba imfumu ya bena Israele.+

5 Mu Hebrone atekele imyaka cinelubali (7) ne myeshi mutanda (6)+ pali Yuda; na mu Yerusalemu+ atekele imyaka amakumi yatatu na itatu (33) pali Israele onse na Yuda.

11 Kabili Hiramu+ imfumu ya Turi atumine inkombe+ kuli Davidi, ne fimuti fya mikedari+ na bakabasa na baishiba ukuputula amabwe, na bo bakuuliile Davidi ing’anda.+
12 E lyo Davidi aishibe ukuti Yehova namupampamika ukuba imfumu pali Israele+ no kuti nasansabika+ ubufumu bwakwe pa mulandu wa bantu bakwe abena Israele.+
13 E lyo Davidi abuulile bakanakashi+ na bambi no kuupilapo abanakashi+ na bambi mu Yerusalemu ilyo afumine ku Hebrone; kabili afyele abana baume na bana banakashi na bambi.
14 Kabili amashina ya bo afyalile mu Yerusalemu ni aya: Shamua+ na Shobabu+ na Natani+ na Solomone,+
15 Ibhari na Elishua+ na Nefege+ na Yafia,+
16 na Elishama+ na Eliada na Elifelete.+
17 Na baPelishiti balyumfwile ukuti nabasuba Davidi ukuba imfumu ya bena Israele.+ E lyo abaPelishiti bonse baile ku kufwaya Davidi. Ilyo Davidi aumfwile, atentemukile ku ncende iya-afishe ukufikako.+
18 Na baPelishiti balishile no kulalulumba mu mpanga yabatama iya Refaimu.+
19 E ico Davidi aipwishe+ Yehova ati: “Bushe njelwisha abaPelishiti? Bushe mulebapeela mu minwe yandi?” Na o Yehova atile kuli Davidi: “Kabiye, pantu nalapeela abaPelishiti mu minwe yobe.”+
20 Awe Davidi afikile ku Baali-perasimu,+ e ko Davidi abepaile. E lyo atile: “Yehova nampongwelako abalwani+ bandi kwati menshi.” E co ainikile ilya ncende ati Baali-perasimu.+
21 E ico bashile utulubi+ twabo kulya, na Davidi na bantu bakwe balitusendele.+
22 Pa numa abaPelishiti balishile na kabili+ no kulapitana mu mpanga yabatama iya Refaimu.+
23 E lyo Davidi aipwishe+ kuli Yehova, lelo amwaswike ati: “Wiyako. Pitila ku numa yabo, no kubasanshila ku ntanshi ya fimpusa fya bakha.+
24 Nomba, ilyo walaumfwa inshindo mu muulu wa fimpusa fya bakha, ilyo line ucincile,+ pantu iyo nshita ninshi Yehova alekutangilila ku kusansa inkambi ya baPelishiti.”+
25 Awe Davidi acitile ifyo fine ifyo Yehova amwebele,+ kabili aipeye+ abaPelishiti ukufuma ku Geba+ ukufika na ku Gesere.+
