10 Habere habilaba mughulu mulebe, omwami w’Abaamoni mwahola, neryo Hanuni mughala wiwe mwabya mwami omo mwanya wiwe.
2 Neryo Daudi mwabugha ati: “Ngendikangania Hanuni mughala wa Nahashi olwanzo oluteleghula, kundi baba wiwe mwanikangania olwanzo oluteleghula.” Neryo Daudi mwatuma abaghombe biwe ati bayamukiranaye, kundi baba wiwe iniabirihola. Aliwe abaghombe ba Daudi babere babihika omo kihugho ky’Abaamoni,
3 abakulu b’Abaamoni mubabwira Hanuni omwami wabo bati: “Ukalengekanaya uti Daudi mwakatuma abaghombe biwe ati base bakukiranaye kundi asikirye baba waghu kwe? Siwasi ngoko mwakatumabo kundi anzire eriminya omuyi ono ng’alyati atoke eritsandyagho?”
4 Neryo Hanuni mwahamba abaghombe abo Daudi atuma, amatwa esyonderu syabo, aliwe amasighaho sike, kandi mwatwa n’esyongyimba syabo erihika oko matako. N’enyuma sy’aho, amababwira ati basubule.
5 Daudi mwabya abyowa omwatsi oyo, mwalw’iniatuma abandu ati bayahindane n’abaghombe abo atuma, kundi babya ibabirihemulwa kutsibu. Omwami mwabwira abandu abo atuma ati bayababwire bati: “Musighale e Yeriko erihika omughulu esyonderu syenyu sikendisyalasa. Sikendisyabya syabilasa, neryo imwasubula.”
6 Enyuma sy’aho, Abaamoni mubalangira ngoko Daudi abiribapona.* Neryo Abaamoni mubatuma abandu bayalihe Abasiria be Bete-rehobu n’Abasiria be Zoba batoke eribawatikya erilwa na Daudi, babya Basiria 20 000 abakaghenda omo bisando; mubaliha n’omwami we Maaka n’abalume 1 000, bamaliha n’abalume 12 000 be Ishtobu.
7 Daudi mwabya abyowa omwatsi oyo, mwatuma Yoabu, abasuda biwe abasi erilwa, n’abasuda biwe bosi ati bayalwe n’Abaamoni.
8 Neryo Abaamoni mubasa, bamayipanga busana n’amalwa oko mulango w’omuyi, n’Abasiria be Zoba ne Rehobu, n’abasuda be Ishtobu* ne Maaka babya omo kisuki.
9 Yoabu mwabya abilangira ngoko esyonzighu syamabibasirako embere n’enyuma, mwasombola abasuda balebe b’omo basuda be Israeli abasi erilwa, neryo amapangabo busana n’erilwa n’Abasiria.
10 Mwabugha ati Abishai mughala wabo asondole abandi basuda n’eripangabo busana n’erilwa n’Abaamoni.
11 Enyuma sy’aho, mwabwira Abishai ati: “Abasiria bamakala kunilenga, ighukendisyaniwatikya; aliwe Abaamoni bamakala kukulenga, naghe ingendisyakuwatikya.
12 Tusike, kandi isitwasagha. Tulwire oko bandu betu n’emiyi y’oMungu wetu, na Yehova yukendikola ebindi.”
13 Neryo Yoabu n’abasuda biwe mubaseghera embere batoke erilwa n’Abasiria, aliwe Abasiria mubatibita.
14 Abaamoni mubabya babilangira ngoko Abasiria babiritibita, mubasagha Abishai n’eriyabisama omo muyi. Enyuma sy’aho, Yoabu mwalua omo kiharo ky’Abaamoni, amasuba e Yerusalema.
15 Abasiria mubabya babilangira ngoko Abaisraeli babiribasinga, kandi mubahindana haghuma.
16 Neryo Hadadezeri mwabirikira abandi Basiria ababya omo kiharo ky’Olusi,* mubasa e Helamu. Shobaki, omukulu w’abasuda ba Hadadezeri, yo wabya akabasondola.
17 Daudi mwabya abyowa omwatsi oyo, mwalw’iniahindania abasuda bosi be Israeli, amasoka e Yordani n’eriya e Helamu. Neryo Abasiria mubayipanga busana n’amalwa, bamalwa na Daudi.
18 Aliwe Abasiria mubasagha Abaisraeli n’eritibita. Daudi mwita abalume 700 abakaghendaya emitoka y’amalwa, n’Abasiria 40 000 abakaghenda oko syosabayiri.* Mwita na Shobaki, omukulu w’abasuda Basiria.
19 Abami bosi ababya bakakolera Hadadezeri babere babilangira ngoko Abaisraeli babiribasinga, mubalw’ibakola obuholo haghuma n’Abaisraeli, bamaligha eribakolera. Eritsuka ekiro ekyo, Abasiria mubatsira eriwatikya Abaamoni.
