23 Kodwa wala ukujika; waza uAbhinere wamhlaba ngoluthi lomkhonto esiswini,+ ngokokuze umkhonto uye kuphuma emhlana; wawa ke apho waza wafela apho wayekhona. Bonke abo babefika kwindawo awayewele kuyo uAsaheli waza wafa babesima ngxi.+

27 Xa uAbhinere wabuyela eHebron,+ uYowabhi ke wamthabathela bucala ngaphakathi kwesango ukuze athethe naye ngasese.+ Noko ke, wamhlaba esiswini,+ ngokokuze afe ngenxa yegazi lika-Asaheli+ umntakwabo.

10 Ke yena uAmasa, wayengalilumkelanga ikrele elalisesandleni sikaYowabhi; ngokokuze amhlabe+ ngalo esiswini, aza amathumbu akhe aphalala emhlabeni, yaye akuzange kufuneke nokuba enze kwakhona kuye. Waba ke uyafa. Waza uYowabhi noAbhishayi umntakwabo basukela uShebha unyana kaBhikeri.
