4 Ndipo Hanuni anatenga anyamata a Davide, nawameta, nadula malaya ao pakati kufikira m’matako, nawaleka achoke.
5 Pamenepo anamuka ena namuuza Davide za amunawa. Natumiza iye kukomana nao, pakuti amunawa anachita manyazi kwambiri. Ndipo mfumu inati, Balindani ku Yeriko mpaka zamera ndevu zanu; zitamera mubwere.
6 Ndipo pamene ana a Amoni anaona kuti anadzinunkhitsa kwa Davide, Hanuni ndi ana a Amoni anatumiza matalente chikwi chimodzi asiliva, kudzilembera magaleta ndi apakavalo ku Mesopotamiya, ndi ku Aramu-Maaka, ndi ku Zoba.

10 Pakuona Yowabu tsono kuti nkhondo inamdzera kumaso ndi kumbuyo, anasankha amuna osankhika onse a Israele, nawanika ayambane ndi Aaramu.
11 Ndipo anthu otsala anawapereka m’dzanja la Abisai mbale wake; ndipo anadzinika ayambane ndi ana a Amoni.
12 Ndipo anati, Akandiposa mphamvu Aaramu, udzandilanditsa ndiwe; koma akakuposa mphamvu ana a Amoni, ndidzakulanditsa ndine.
13 Limbika mtima, tilimbikire anthu athu, ndi mizinda ya Mulungu wathu; ndipo Yehova achite chomkomera.
14 Pamenepo Yowabu ndi anthu anali naye anayandikira pamaso pa Aaramu kulimbana nao, ndipo anawathawa.
15 Ndipo pakuona ana a Amoni kuti adathawa Aaramu, iwo omwe anathawa pamaso pa Abisai mbale wake, nalowa m’mzinda. Pamenepo Yowabu anadza kuYerusalemu.
16 Ndipo pakuona Aaramu kuti Israele anawakantha, anatumiza mithenga, natuluka nao Aaramu akukhala tsidya lija la mtsinjewo; ndi Sofaki kazembe wa khamu la Hadadezere anawatsogolera.
17 Ndipo anamuuza Davide; namemeza iye Aisraele onse, naoloka Yordani, nawadzera, nanika nkhondo ayambane nao. Atandandalitsa nkhondo Davide kuyambana ndi Aaramu, anaponyana naye.
18 Ndipo Aaramu anathawa pamaso pa Israele; ndipo Davide anapha Aaramu apamagaleta zikwi zisanu ndi ziwiri, ndi oyenda pansi zikwi makumi anai; napha Sofaki kazembe wa khamulo.
19 Ndipo pakuona anyamata a Hadadezere kuti Israele anawakantha, anapangana mtendere ndi Davide, namtumikira; ndi Aaramu anakana kuthandizanso ana a Amoni.
