4 Eza amadoda akwaYuda, amthambisa khona apho uDavide ukuba abe ngukumkani kwindlu yakwaYuda.Kwaxelwa kuDavide, kusithiwa, Amadoda aseYabheshe yaseGiliyadi, ngawo awamngcwabáyo uSawule.
5 UDavide wathumela ke abathunywa kumadoda aseYabheshe yaseGiliyadi, wathi kuwo, Manisikelelwe nguYehova nina, nayenzelayo inkosi yenu uSawule loo nceba, nayingcwaba.
6 Ngoko uYehova makanenzele inceba nenyaniso; nam ndiya kunenzela oko kulungileyo, ngokuba nayenzayo loo nto.
7 Ke kaloku mazomelele izandla zenu, nibe ngamadoda anobukroti; ngokuba ifile inkosi yenu uSawule. Kananjalo indithambisile indlu yakwaYuda ukuba ndibe ngukumkani wayo.
8 Ke kaloku uAbhinere unyana kaNere, umthetheli womkhosi obungokaSawule, ebethabathe uIshbhoshete, unyana kaSawule, wamwezela eMahanayim,
9 wamenza ukumkani eGiliyadi, nakuma-Askure, naseYizereli, nakwaEfrayim, nakwaBhenjamin, nakumaSirayeli onke.
10 UIshbhoshete, unyana kaSawule, ebeminyaka imashumi mané ezelwe, ekwenziweni kwakhe ukumkani kumaSirayeli, wangukumkani iminyaka emibini. Kodwa indlu yakwaYuda yalandela uDavide.
