25 Wathi ke uDavide kumthunywa lowo: “Uya kutsho kuYowabhi ukuthi, ‘Mawungabonakali umbi emehlweni akho lo mbandela, kuba ikrele lidla+ ligqibe omnye kwakunye nomnye. Liqinise idabi lakho nxamnye nesixeko eso uze usidilize.’+ Uze umkhuthaze ke.”

20 Kwathi ke ekuqaleni konyaka,+ ngexesha lokuhlasela kookumkani,+ uYowabhi wakhokela umkhosi wokulwa+ waza walenza laba linxuwa ilizwe loonyana baka-Amoni waza waya kungqinga iRabha,+ ngoxa uDavide wayehleli eYerusalem; uYowabhi waxabela+ iRabha waza wayidiliza.
