12 Yomelela, somelele ngenxa yabantu bakowethu, nangenxa yemizi yoThixo wethu; uYehova enze oko kulungileyo emehlweni akhe.
13 Weza uYowabhi nabantu ababenaye, walwa nama-Aram; asaba ebusweni bakhe.
14 Babona oonyana baka-Amon ukuba asabile ama-Aram, basaba nabo ebusweni buka-Abhishayi, bangena ekhaya. Wabuya ke uYowabhi koonyana baka-Amon, weza eYerusalem.
15 Abona ama-Aram ukuba agxothiwe phambi kwamaSirayeli, ahlanganisana ndawonye.
16 Wathumela uHadadezere, wawarhola ama-Aram abephesheya koMlambo,* eza eHelam; uShobhaki, umthetheli womkhosi kaHadadezere, ephambi kwawo.
17 Kwaxelwa kuDavide; wahlanganisa amaSirayeli onke, wayiwela iYordan, waya eHelam. Ákha izintlu ama-Aram malunga noDavide, alwa naye.
