6 Ekuhambeni kwexesha oonyana baka-Amoni babona ukuba balivumba elibi+ kuDavide, yaye oonyana baka-Amoni bathumela baza baqesha amaSiriya aseBhete-rehobhi+ namaSiriya aseTsobha,+ amadoda angamashumi amabini amawaka ahamba ngeenyawo, nokumkani waseMahaka,+ amadoda aliwaka, naseIshetobhi, ishumi elinesibini lamawaka amadoda.

2 Kwanikelwa ingxelo endlwini kaDavide, kusithiwa: “ISiriya yayame ngoEfrayim.”+

Yaza intliziyo yakhe nentliziyo yabantu bakhe yaqalisa ukugubha, njengokushukunyiswa kwemithi yehlathi ngumoya.+
