4 Koma mau a mfumu anapambana Yowabu ndi atsogoleri a khamulo. Ndipo Yowabu ndi atsogoleri a khamulo anatuluka pamaso pa mfumu kuti akawerenge anthu a Israele.
5 Naoloka Yordani, namanga zithando ku Aroere ku dzanja lamanja kwa mzinda uli pakati pa chigwa cha Gadi, ndi ku Yazere;
6 nafika ku Giliyadi ndi ku dera la Tatimuhodisi; nafika ku Dani-Yaana ndi kuzungulira, kufikira ku Sidoni,

13 Chomwecho Gadi anafika kwa Davide, namuuza nanena naye, Kodi zikugwereni m’dziko mwanu zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri za njala? Kapena muthawe adani anu akukupirikitsani miyezi itatu? Kapena m’dziko mwanu mukhale mliri masiku atatu? Chenjerani tsono ndi kulingalira bwino mau amene ine ndibwere nao kwa wonditumayo.
14 Ndipo Davide ananena ndi Gadi, Ndipsinjika mtima kwambiri, tigwe m’dzanja la Yehova; pakuti zifundo zake nzazikulu; koma tisagwe m’dzanja la munthu.
15 Chomwecho Yehova anatumiza mliri pa Israele kuyambira m’mawa kufikira nthawi yoikika; ndipo anafapo anthu zikwi makumi asanu ndi awiri kuyambira ku Dani kufikira ku Beereseba.

23 zonsezi, mfumu, Arauna akupatsani mfumu. Ndipo Arauna anati kwa mfumu, Yehova Mulungu wanu akulandireni.
24 Koma mfumu inati kwa Arauna, Iai; koma ndidzaligula kwa iwe pa mtengo wake, pakuti sindidzapereka kwa Yehova Mulungu wanga nsembe zopsereza zopanda mtengo wake. Momwemo Davide anagula dwalelo ndi ng’ombezo naperekapo masekeli makumi asanu asiliva.
