20 Yaye uIsake wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane ubudala ukuthabatha kwakhe uRebheka intombi kaBhetuweli+ umSiriya+ wasePadan-aram, udade boLabhan umSiriya, njengomfazi wakhe.

5 Uze uphendule ke uthi phambi koYehova uThixo wakho, ‘Ubawo wayengumSiriya otshabalalayo;+ wehla waya eYiputa+ wahlala khona njengomphambukeli enabantu abambalwa kakhulu ngenani;+ kodwa waba luhlanga olukhulu apho, olunamandla nolunabantu abaninzi.+

6 Ngokubhekele phaya, uDavide wamisa iinkampu zomkhosi+ eSiriya yaseDamasko; aza amaSiriya aba ngabakhonzi bakaDavide bokuzisa unikelo.+ Yaye uYehova waqhubeka emsindisa uDavide naphi na apho wayesiya khona.+

2 AmaSiriya ayephume aya kuba ngamatutu,+ yaye athimba intombazana encinane kwilizwe lakwaSirayeli,+ kwaye yayiphambi komfazi kaNahaman.

12 iSiriya ngasempuma+ namaFilisti ngasemva,+ yaye ziya kumdla zimgqibe uSirayeli ngomlomo ovulekileyo.+ Ngenxa yako konke oku umsindo wakhe awubuyanga, kodwa isandla sakhe usasolulile.+
