1 Ke kaloku yoluka imfazwe phakathi kwendlu kaSawule nendlu kaDavide. UDavide waya esomelela ngokomelela; indlu kaSawule yaya incipha ngokuncipha.
2 UDavide wazalelwa oonyana eHebron: owamazibulo waba nguAmnon ngoAhinowam waseYizerei;
3 owesibini waba nguKiliyabhi ngoAbhigali, umkaNabhali waseKarmele; owesithathu waba nguAbhisalom, unyana kaMahaka, intombi kaTalemayi, ukumkani waseGeshuri;
4 owesiné waba nguAdoniya, unyana kaHagiti; owesihlanu waba nguShefatiya, unyana ka-Abhitali;
5 owesithandathu waba nguItram, ngoEgla, umkaDavide. Wabazalelwa abo uDavide eHebron.
6 Kwathi, kwakubon' ukuba kukho imfazwe phakathi kwendlu kaSawule nendlu kaDavide, uAbhinere wamana ukuzomelezela indlu kaSawule.
7 Ke uSawule ebeneshweshwe eligama linguRitspa, intombi ka-Aya; wathi ke uIshbhoshete kuAbhinere, Yini na ukuba ulingene ishweshwe likabawo?
