Natao Mpanjaka Davida

NANANDRA nisambotse an’i Davida ndraike Saoly. Nifìly miaramila 3 000 matanjake soa tamy miaramilane ie mba hila an’i Davida. Laha fa nihain’i Davida raha zay, le nandefa mpitsikilo ie, mba hanenty ty toera hiroroan’i Saoly noho ty miaramilane, laha fa haly. Bakeo nanontany ty roe tamy namane Davida hoe: ‘Ia ze ta hiarake amiko amy tany misy an’i Saoly ane?’

‘Zaho’, hoy ty asan’i Abisay. Anak’anabavin’i Davida atao hoe Zeroia zay, Abisay io. Laha fa niroro soa Saoly noho ty namane, le nitingatinga ho amy toeran-droze teo Davida noho Abisay. Nalàn-droze lefon’i Saoly noho raha fasiane rano nipetrake tanila lohan’i Saoly teo iny. Tsy nisy nahita na naharé roze, satria niroro biby olo reny.

Henteo Davida noho Abisay henany zao. Fa lavitse roze ka tsy natahotse sasy laha fa niavy tamy vohitse kelikele zay teo. Nokaìhin’i Davida maré filoha tafik’Israely iny: ‘Abnera a! Nanino tsy narovanao mpanjaka filohanao io? Henteo soa fa tsy eo ty lefone noho raha fasiane rano iny! Nanaìa?’

Taitse Saoly. Haine soa ty feon’i Davida, ka nanontany ie hoe: ‘Tsy iha va io Davida?’ Hitanao va Saoly noho Abnera amy sary ambany eto io?

‘Eka, mpanjaka’, hoy ty asan’i Davida tamin’i Saoly. Bakeo nanontany Davida hoe: ‘Ino va ty antone anambòranao ahy io? Ino ty raha raty nataoko? Toy lahy lefonao iny, mpanjaka. Ampandehàno bakao ty raike amy mpanomponao reo hangalake aze.’

‘Diso aho’, hoy Saoly. ‘Tsy nieritseritse aho, fa nanaon-tao avao.’ Nandeha Davida laha fa bakeo, fa Saoly nimpòly tan-tranone tany. Fe nivòla raike Davida hoe: ‘Mbo ho vonòn’i Saoly avao aho ndraike andro ane. Tokone hilay amy tany Filistina ane aho.’ Ka le zay vatane ty raha nataone. Afake namitake ty Filistina Davida ka nanao ze hinoan-droze fa mbo naman-droze ie.

Tafarafara raha niseho rezay, le niakatse ty Filistina mba hialy amin’Israelita reo. Samby nimaty tamy aly io tao iaby Saoly noho Jonatana. Nalahelo biby Davida, ka nanoratse hira manao hoe: ‘Malahelo anao lahy aho Jonatana rahalahiko. Nahafaly ahy biby ty finamantsika!’

Tafara atoy, le nimpòly ta-Israely tamy tany Hebrona tao Davida. Nisy aly ty tao, satria nisy vahoake nifìly an’i Isboseta, anake lahin’i Saoly ho mpanjaka. Ty hafa kea nifìly an’i Davida ho mpanjaka. Fe naharesy aze nifìly an’i Davida reny tamy farane. Vo 30 tao Davida tamy ie natao mpanjaka io. Nanjaka ta-Hebrona tao tanaty fito tao noho tampane ie. Nanan’anake telo lahy ie tao: Amnona, Absaloma, noho Adonia.

Avy henany zao, ty fotoa hangalàn’i Davida noho ty mpanompone tanà soasoa atao hoe Jerosalema zay. Joaba, anake lahin’i Zeroia, anabavin’i Davida ro nitarike fanafìha io. Namaly ty raha soa nataon’i Joaba Davida, ka nataone filoha’ty tafik’Israely Joaba. Hanomboke hanjaka a-Jerosalema ao Davida henany zao.
