SAUL bɔ mɔdɛŋ ekoŋŋ koni enine ashɛ David nɔ. Ehala esraafoi lɛ ateŋ mɛi 3,000 ni he esa ni amɛtee koni amɛyatao lɛ. Ní David ná ele enɛ lɛ, etsu shikpálɔi kɛtee koni amɛyakwɛ he ni Saul kɛ emɛi lɛ ebɔ ŋsara yɛ gbɛkɛ lɛ. Kɛkɛ ni David bi ehii lɛ ateŋ mɛi enyɔ akɛ: ‘Nyɛteŋ namɔ kɛ mi baaya Saul ŋsara lɛ mli?’

Abishai ha hetoo akɛ: ‘Mi maya.’ David nyɛmi yoo Zeruia bi ji Abishai. Beni Saul kɛ ehii lɛ wɔɔ lɛ, David kɛ Abishai dɛkɛ shi blɛoo kɛtee ŋsara lɛ mli. Amɛkɔlɔ Saul akpɔlɔ kɛ enu kpulu ni jwere Saul yitso he kpaakpa lɛ. Mɔ ko mɔ ko enaaa amɛ ni anuuu amɛ he hu ejaakɛ amɛ fɛɛ amɛwɔ vii diɛŋtsɛ.

Kwɛmɔ David kɛ Abishai agbɛnɛ. Amɛjo foi, ni amɛyashɛ gɔŋ ko nɔ shweshweeshwe. David bo waa ni ekɛɛ Israel asraafoiatsɛ lɛ akɛ: ‘Abner, mɛni hewɔ obuuu onuŋtsɔ maŋtsɛ lɛ he lɛ? Kwɛmɔ! Nɛgbɛ ekpɔlɔ kɛ enu kpulu lɛ yɔɔ?’

Saul hiɛ tsɛ̃. Enu akɛ David gbee ni, kɛkɛ ni ebi akɛ: ‘David, bo ni lo?’ Ani oona Saul kɛ Abner yɛ shishigbɛ nɛɛ?

David ha Saul hetoo akɛ: ‘Hɛɛ, minuŋtsɔ maŋtsɛ.’ Ni David bi lɛ akɛ: ‘Mɛni hewɔ otaoɔ akɛ onine ashɛ minɔ lɛ? Mɛɛ efɔŋ mifee? Naa okpɔlɔ lɛ, Oo maŋtsɛ. Ha ni ohii lɛ ateŋ mɔ kome abahe.’

Saul kpɛlɛ nɔ akɛ: ‘Mifee efɔŋ. Miye kwashiai asane.’ Enɛ hewɔ lɛ David tee, ni Saul ku esɛɛ etee shia. Shi David kɛɛ ehe akɛ: ‘Saul baagbe mi gbi ko yɛ bei nɛɛ amli. Esa akɛ majo foi kɛya Filistibii lɛ ashikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ.’ Ni nakai ji bɔ ni efee. David nyɛ elaka Filistibii lɛ, ni eha amɛhe amɛye akɛ agbɛnɛ eyɛ amɛ gbɛfaŋ.

Yɛ sɛɛ mli lɛ, Filistibii lɛ tee ni amɛkɛ Israelbii lɛ ayawu ta. Agbe Saul kɛ Yonatan fɛɛ yɛ nakai ta lɛ mli. Enɛ ha David ye awerɛho waa, ni eŋma lala ko ni ŋɔɔ, ni ela yɛ mli akɛ: ‘Osane miidɔ mi, minyɛmi Yonatan. Osane eŋɔɔ minaa kɛho!’

Yɛ enɛ sɛɛ lɛ David ku esɛɛ kɛtee Israel ni etee Hebron maŋ lɛ mli. Ni ta te shi yɛ mɛi ni sumɔɔ ni Saul binuu Ishboshet aye maŋtsɛ lɛ kɛ mɛi krokomɛi ni sumɔɔ ni David aye maŋtsɛ lɛ ateŋ. Shi yɛ naagbee lɛ David hii lɛ ye kunim. David eye afii 30 beni awó lɛ maŋtsɛ lɛ. Ekɛ afii kpawo kɛ fã sɔŋŋ ye maŋtsɛ yɛ Hebron. Bihii ni efɔ amɛ yɛ jɛmɛ lɛ ekomɛi agbɛi ji Amnon, Absalom kɛ Adonija.

Be bashɛ ni David kɛ hii lɛ tee koni amɛyaŋɔ maŋ fɛfɛo ko ni atsɛɔ lɛ Yerusalem lɛ. David nyɛmi yoo Zeruia binuu kroko ni atsɛɔ lɛ Yoab ji mɔ ni nyiɛ ta lɛ hiɛ. No hewɔ lɛ, David fee Yoab etatsɛ nukpa ni ekɛwo lɛ nyɔmɔ. Agbɛnɛ David babɔi maŋtsɛyeli yɛ Yerusalem.
