Chandiri kungokukumbira chete ndechekuti usatomboonana neni kunze kwekunge wauya naMikari+ mwanasikana waSauro paunouya kuzondiona.” 14 Dhavhidhi akabva atuma nhume kuna Ishi-bhosheti,+ mwanakomana waSauro, achiti: “Ndipe mudzimai wangu Mikari, wandakabhadharira zvikanda zvepamberi 100 zvevaFiristiya ndichivimbisa kumuroora.”+ 15 Saka Ishi-bhosheti akatuma nhume kunomutora kumurume wake, Paritieri+ mwanakomana waRaishi. 16 Asi murume wake akaramba achifamba naye, achimutevera achichema kusvika kuBhahurimu.+ Abhineri akabva ati kwaari: “Dzokera!” Iye akabva adzokera.

20 Abhineri paakasvika kwaiva naDhavhidhi kuHebroni aine varume 20, Dhavhidhi akaitira Abhineri nevarume vaaiva navo mutambo. 21 Abhineri akabva ati kuna Dhavhidhi: “Regai ndiende kunounganidza vaIsraeri vese kuti vauye kunashe wangu mambo, kuti vaite sungano nemi, uye muchava mambo wezvese zvamunoda.”* Saka Dhavhidhi akarega Abhineri achienda, uye akaenda murugare.
22 Panguva iyoyo, Joabhi nevaranda vaDhavhidhi vakabva vadzoka kubva kunopamba, uye vakauya nezvinhu zvakawanda zvavakanga vapamba. Abhineri akanga atosimuka kubva kuHebroni kwaiva naDhavhidhi, nekuti Dhavhidhi akanga amurega achienda murugare. 23 Joabhi+ neuto rese raaiva naro pavakasvika, Joabhi akaudzwa kuti: “Abhineri+ mwanakomana waNeri+ auya kuna mambo, iye akamurega achienda, uye aenda murugare.” 24 Saka Joabhi akapinda maiva namambo akati: “Chii chamaita? Onai Abhineri auya kwamuri. Mamuregerei achienda asina zvaaitwa? 25 Munomuziva Abhineri mwanakomana waNeri! Auya pano kuzokunyengedzai nekukuongororai uye kuti azive zvese zvamuri kuita.”
26 Saka Joabhi akabva kwaiva naDhavhidhi akatuma nhume kuti dzitevere Abhineri, dzikabva dzamudzosa ava pamugodhi wemvura weSira; asi Dhavhidhi haana chaaiziva nezvazvo. 27 Abhineri paakadzoka kuHebroni,+ Joabhi akamutora akaenda naye pagedhi kuti ataure naye vari vega. Zvisinei, akamubaya mudumbu vari ipapo, akafa;+ akamuuraya nekuti akanga auraya Asaheri* munin’ina wake.+ 28 Dhavhidhi paakazozvinzwa, akati: “Ini neumambo hwangu hatina mhosva pamberi paJehovha nekusingaperi pakuurayiwa kwaAbhineri mwanakomana waNeri.+ 29 Mhosva yacho ngaive pamusoro waJoabhi+ nepaimba yese yababa vake. Mumba maJoabhi ngamurege kumboshayika murume ane chirwere chekubuda zvinoyerera+ kana ane maperembudzi+ kana murume anoshandisa mudziyo wekugadzirisa shinda* kana munhu anourayiwa nebakatwa kana anoshayiwa zvekudya!”+ 30 Saka Joabhi nemwana waamai vake Abhishai+ vakauraya Abhineri+ nekuti akanga auraya Asaheri munin’ina wavo muhondo+ kuGibhiyoni.
31 Dhavhidhi akabva ati kuna Joabhi nevanhu vese vaaiva navo: “Bvarurai nguo dzenyu mupfeke masaga, mucheme Abhineri.” Mambo Dhadhivhi pachake aifamba ari kumashure kwehwanyanza.* 32 Vakaviga Abhineri muHebroni uye mambo akaridza mhere paguva raAbhineri, vanhu vese vakachemawo. 33 Mambo akaimbira Abhineri achiti:

34 Maoko ako akanga asina kusungwa,
Uye tsoka dzako dzakanga dzisina kusungwa nezvisungo zvemumakumbo.*
Wafa semunhu aurayiwa nematsotsi.”*+
Vanhu vese vakabva vamuchemazve.
35 Gare gare vanhu vese vakauya kuna Dhavhidhi kusati kwadoka kuzomupa zvekudya kuti vamunyaradze, asi Dhavhidhi akapika achiti: “Mwari ngaandirange zvinorwadza kwazvo kana ndikaravira zvekudya kana chero chinhu chipi zvacho zuva risati radoka!”+ 36 Vanhu vese vakazviona, uye zvakavafadza. Vakafara nazvo sekufadzwa kwavaiitwa nezvimwe zvinhu zvese zvaiitwa namambo. 37 Saka vanhu vese nevaIsraeri vese vakaziva zuva iroro kuti mambo haasi iye akanga aita kuti Abhineri mwanakomana waNeri aurayiwe.+ 38 Mambo akabva ati kuvaranda vake: “Hamuzivi here kuti munhu afa nhasi muchinda uye mukuru muIsraeri?+ 39 Ini nhasi handina simba kunyange ndakazodzwa kuva mambo,+ uye varume ava, ivo vanakomana vaZeruya,+ vane utsinye chaizvo.+ Jehovha ngaatsive munhu anoita zvakaipa maererano nezvakaipa zvake.”+
