25 Davidi wati wavwa uthenga wenuwu, wangukambiya munthu yo wangupinga uthenga kuti: “Ukamukambiyi Yowabu kuti: ‘Ungafipanga mtima cha ndi nkhani yeniyi, pakuti lipanga lingabaya munthu weyosi. Kweni chita ŵaka nkhondu mwanthazi kuti ulimbani ndi tawuni yo ndi kuyithereska.’+ Ndipuso ukamuchiski.”

20 Kukwamba kwa chaka,* pa nyengu yo mafumu ngalutanga ku nkhondu, Yowabu+ wangulongozga gulu la asilikali ndipu anguluta kuchinanga charu cha Aamoni. Iyu wanguzingiliza Raba,+ ndipu pa nyengu iyi Davidi wanguja ku Yerusalemu.+ Yowabu wanguyukiya Raba ndipu wangumubwanganduwa.+
