10. Kodwa UDavide waxosha, yena nabantu abangamakhulu amane, ngokuba abangamakhulu amabili basala emuva, bezukekile ukuze bangaweli umfudlana iBesori.
11. Bafumana owaseGibithe endle, bamyisa kuDavide, bamnika isinkwa, wadla; bamphuzisa amanzi;
12. bamnika nocezu lwesigaxa samakhiwane, nezigaxa ezimbili zezithelo zomvini ezomileyo; esedlile kwabuyela kuye umoya wakhe, ngokuba wayengadlanga sinkwa, engaphuzanga manzi, izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu.
13. UDavide wathi kuye: “Ungokabani na? Uvelaphi na?”Wathi: “Ngiyinsizwa yaseGibithe, inceku yomAmaleki, kepha inkosi yami yangishiya, ngokuba sekuyizinsuku ezintathu ngigula.
14. Sangenela ngaseningizimu yamaKhereti, nakwelakwaJuda, naseningizimu kaKalebi, salishisa iSikilagi ngomlilo.”
15. UDavide wathi kuye: “Ungangehlisela kulelo viyo na?”Wathi: “Funga kimi uNkulunkulu ukuthi awuyikungibulala, unganginikeli ezandleni zenkosi yami, ngiyakukwehlisela kulelo viyo.”
16. Wayesemehlisa; bheka, babehlakazekile endaweni yonke, bedla, bephuza, besina phakathi kwayo yonke impango ababeyithathile ezweni lamaFilisti nasezweni lakwaJuda.
17. UDavide wababulala kusukela ekuhweleleni kuze kuhlwe ngangomuso, akwaphunyuka muntu kubo, kuphela izinsizwa ezingamakhulu amane ezazikhwela amakamela, zabaleka.
18. UDavide wakhulula konke okwakuthathwe ngama-Amaleki, uDavide wakhulula nawomkakhe bobabili.
19. Akwasilala muntu, omncane noma omkhulu, namadodana noma amadodakazi, nempango noma okunye ababezithathele khona; uDavide wabuyisa konke.
20. UDavide wathatha zonke izimvu nezinkomo; baziqhuba phambi kwakhe, bathi: “Yimpango kaDavide le.”
21. UDavide wafika kulabo bantu abangamakhulu amabili ababezukekile, bengenakumlandela uDavide, ababebahlalisile ngasemfudlaneni iBesori; baphuma ukumhlangabeza uDavide nokuhlangabeza abantu ababenaye; uDavide esesondela kubantu wababingelela.
