1. Ndipo mkwiyo wa Yehova unayakanso pa Israyeli, nafulumiza Davide pa iwo, nati, Muka, nuwerenge Israyeli ndi Yuda.
2. Ndipo mfumu inanena ndi Yoabu kazembe wa khamu, amene anali naye, Kayendere tsopano mafuko onse a Israyeli, kuyambira ku Dani kufikira ku Beereseba, nuwerenge anthuwo, kuti ndidziwe kucuruka kwao kwa anthu.
3. Ndipo Yoabu ananena ndi mfumu, Yehova Mulungu wanu aonjezere kwa anthu monga ali kuwacurukitsa makumi khumi, ndi maso a mbuye wanga mfumu acione; koma mbuye wanga mfumu alikukondwera bwanji ndi cinthu ici?
