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.+

28 Ke eminye imicimbi kaYerobhoham nako konke awakwenzayo namandla akhe, indlela awalwa ngayo nendlela awabuyisela ngayo iDamasko+ neHamati+ kuYuda kwaSirayeli, akubhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?

5 Ngenxa yoko uYehova uThixo wakhe wamnikela esandleni+ sikakumkani waseSiriya,+ kangangokuba wambetha waza wathabatha kuye inani elininzi labathinjwa, wabazisa eDamasko.+ Wanikelwa esandleni sikakumkani wakwaSirayeli,+ kangangokuba wamxabela wambulala ngogonyamelo olukhulu.

6 “Masinyuke nxamnye nelakwaYuda size silahlukanise, sizithabathele lona ngokutyhoboza; yaye masimisele omnye ukumkani njengomlawuli ngaphakathi kwalo, unyana kaTabheheli.”+
