8 Abenɛɛ vale Yehye-bɔhyɛte edwɛkɛ ne anwo ɛya na ɔhanle kɛ: “Mele Dwuda twea tile ɔ? Mela ɛlɔlɛ kpundii ali mehile wɔ papa Sɔɔlo abusua ne nee ɔ mediema mrenyia yɛɛ ɔ gɔnwo mɔ too badwu ɛnɛ, yɛɛ metɛyele wɔ metɛwulale Devidi asa anu; noko ɛnɛ, ɛlɛbɔ me somolɛ wɔ ɛtane mɔɔ me nee raalɛ ɛyɛ la anwo.
9 Saa meanyɛ mɔɔ Gyihova hanle nwolɛ ndane hilele Devidi la meammaa ye a, Nyamenle ɛdua Abenɛɛ kakɛ na ɔgua ye bie zo.+
10 Ɔhanle ndane kɛ ɔbaye belemgbunlililɛ ne yeavi Sɔɔlo abusua nu na yeamaa Devidi belemgbunli ebia ne agyinla wɔ Yizilayɛ nee Dwuda, ɔvi Dan kɔdwu Biyɛ-hyiba.”+
11 Yeangola yeanga edwɛkɛkpɔkɛ ko bɔbɔ yeangile Abenɛɛ bieko, ɔluakɛ ɛnee ɔsulo ye.+
12 Ɛkɛ ne ala Abenɛɛ zoanle menli maanle bɛhɔzele Devidi kɛ: “Nwane a azɛlɛ ne le ye ɛdeɛ a?” Ɔhanle ɔbokale nwo kɛ: “Ɛ nee me ɛyɛ ngyekyeleɛ na mebayɛ debie biala mɔɔ mebahola la meamaa* Yizilayɛma kɔsɔɔti ara wɔ afoa.”+
13 Na ɔbuale kɛ: “Ɔle kpalɛ! Me nee wɔ bayɛ ngyekyeleɛ. Debie kokye mɔɔ mebiza meavi wɔ ɛkɛ ne la a le kɛ, saa ɛlɛba me nwo ɛke na wɔanlimoa wɔanva Maekale,+ Sɔɔlo ara raalɛ ne wɔambɛlɛ me a, ɛnee mmabɔ mɔdenle kɛ ɛkɛnwu me nyunlu.”
14 Akee Devidi zoanle menli wɔ Sɔɔlo ara Yehye-bɔhyɛte+ anwo lɔ ɔmaanle bɛhɔzele ye kɛ: “Fa me ye Maekale mɔɔ menvale Filisitiama 100 mrenyianu ati nwoma mengyale ye la maa me.”+

17 Abenɛɛ maanle bɛhɔzele Yizilayɛ mgbanyima kɛ: “Mekɛ bie ɛnee bɛkpondɛ kɛ Devidi yɛ bɛ belemgbunli.
18 Kɛkala akee mekɛ ɛdwu, ɔluakɛ Gyihova zele Devidi kɛ: ‘Mebalua me sonvolɛ Devidi+ anwo zo mealie me menli Yizilayɛma meavi Filisitiama nee bɛ kpɔvolɛma kɔsɔɔti asa anu.’”
19 Akee Abenɛɛ nee Bɛngyamanema+ dendɛle. Abenɛɛ eza hɔle kɛ ɔkaha mɔɔ Yizilayɛma nee Bɛngyamanema kɔsɔɔti ɛlie ɛdo nu la yeahile Devidi wɔ Hibulɔn.
20 Mɔɔ Abenɛɛ nee mrenyia 20 rale Devidi anwo ɛkɛ wɔ Hibulɔn la, Devidi dole ɛkponle maanle Abenɛɛ nee mrenyia ne mɔ mɔɔ nee ye lua la.
21 Akee Abenɛɛ zele Devidi kɛ: “Maa mengɔmboɔboa Yizilayɛma kɔsɔɔti anloa memaa me menle belemgbunli, amaa bɛ nee wɔ ayɛ ngyekyeleɛ na wɔayɛ debie biala mɔɔ ɛkulo* la azo belemgbunli.” Ɔti Devidi gyakyile Abenɛɛ adenle, na ɔhɔle anzodwolɛ nu.
22 Yeangyɛ biala, Devidi azonvolɛ ne mɔ nee Dwowabe vi ɛleka mɔɔ bɛhɔle la rale, na bɛvale ninyɛne dɔɔnwo mɔɔ bɛnyianle la bɛrale. Ɛnee Abenɛɛ ɛvi Devidi anwo ɛkɛ wɔ Hibulɔn, ɔluakɛ ɛnee yegyakyi ye adenle yemaa yehɔ anzodwolɛ nu.
23 Mɔɔ Dwowabe+ nee ɛlɔne ne kɔsɔɔti mɔɔ nee ye lua la rale la, bɛhanle bɛhilele ye kɛ: “Nɛɛ+ ara Abenɛɛ+ rale belemgbunli ɛkɛ, na yegyakyi ye adenle yemaa yehɔ anzodwolɛ nu.”
24 Ɔti Dwowabe hɔle belemgbunli ne ɛkɛ na ɔhanle kɛ: “Duzu a wɔyɛ la? Abenɛɛ rale ɛ nwo ɛke. Duzu ati a ɛgyakyile ye adenle ɛmaanle ɔvale ɔ nwo dwɔɔ ɔhɔle a?

26 Yemɔti Dwowabe vile Devidi anwo ɛkɛ na ɔzoanle menli ɔmaanle bɛkpole Abenɛɛ na bɛ nee ye vi Saela bula ne anwo rale; noko ɛnee Devidi ɛnze nwolɛ ɛhwee.
27 Mɔɔ Abenɛɛ ziale rale Hibulɔn la,+ Dwowabe vale ye hɔle ahane wɔ anlenkɛ kpole ne foa ko kɛ asɛɛ ɔka edwɛkɛ yeahile ye la. Noko ɔwɔle ye dadeɛ ɔ ko abo na ɔwule;+ ɔyɛle ɛhye ɔluakɛ ɔhunle ɔ diema Asahɛle.*+

30 Yemɔti Dwowabe nee ɔ diema Abehyae+ hunle Abenɛɛ,+ ɔluakɛ ɔhunle bɛ diema Asahɛle wɔ Gebɛyɔn konle+ ne anu.
31 Akee Devidi zele Dwowabe nee menli kɔsɔɔti mɔɔ nee ye lua la kɛ: “Bɛsuosua bɛ adɛladeɛ ne mɔ anu na bɛheda ɛrele na bɛzu Abenɛɛ.” Ɛnee Belemgbunli Devidi mumua ne li funli ɛlɛka ne anzi.
32 Bɛziele Abenɛɛ wɔ Hibulɔn; na belemgbunli ne zunle kpole wɔ Abenɛɛ nla ne azo, na menli ne amuala noko zunle.
