15 Igihugu abakomokaga kuri Yuda bahawe,*+ cyageraga ku mupaka wa Edomu,+ mu butayu bwa Zini n’aho Negebu igarukira mu majyepfo.

8 Uwo mupaka warazamukaga ukagera mu Kibaya cy’Umuhungu wa Hinomu,+ ku musozi umujyi w’Abayebusi+ wari wubatseho mu majyepfo, ni ukuvuga Yerusalemu.+ Wazamukaga hejuru ku musozi uteganye n’Ikibaya cy’Umuhungu wa Hinomu mu burengerazuba. Uwo musozi wari uherereye aho Ikibaya cya Refayimu kirangirira mu majyaruguru.

22 Abafilisitiya bongera kugaruka buzura ahantu hose mu Kibaya cya Refayimu.+

15 Nuko batatu mu batware 30 baramanuka, bagera ku rutare, aho Dawidi yari ari mu buvumo bwa Adulamu+ kandi icyo gihe abasirikare b’Abafilisitiya bari bashinze amahema yabo mu Kibaya cya Refayimu.+ 16 Dawidi yari yihishe kandi izindi ngabo z’Abafilisitiya zari zashinze amahema i Betelehemu. 17 Nuko Dawidi avuga icyo yifuzaga ati: “Icyampa nkongera kunywa ku mazi yo mu iriba ryo ku marembo ya Betelehemu!”+ 18 Ba basirikare batatu banyura mu nkambi y’Abafilisitiya barwana, bavoma amazi mu iriba ryo ku marembo y’i Betelehemu bayazanira Dawidi. Ariko Dawidi yanga kuyanywa, ayasuka imbere ya Yehova. 19 Aravuga ati: “Nkurikije uko Imana yanjye ibona ibintu, sinshobora kunywa aya mazi. Kuyanywa byaba ari nko kunywa amaraso yabo.+ Kuko abagabo bagiye kuyavoma bari bemeye no gutakaza ubuzima bwabo.” Nuko yanga kuyanywa. Ibyo ni byo ba basirikare batatu b’intwari ba Dawidi bakoze.
