24. OoYowabhi noAbhishayi bamsukela bamlandela uAbhinere, lada latshona ilanga; bada bafika edulini yeAma, ekhangelene neGiya, endleleni yentlango yeGibheyon.
25. Bahlanganisana oonyana bakaBhenjamin, bamlandela uAbhinere, bambumba-nye, bema encotsheni yanduli-nye.
26. Wamemeza uAbhinere kuYowabhi, wathi, Liya kumana ukudla na ikrele? Akwazi na ukuba kuya kuba krakra kamva? Kuya kuba mzuzu ungakanani na ungabaxeleli abantu, babuye ekusukeleni abazalwana babo?
27. Wathi uYowabhi, Ehleli nje uYehova, ukuba bekungathelekiswanga nguwe, inene, ngebenyuswe bemka kwangokuyá kwakusasa abantu, elowo ákamsukela umzalwana wakhe.
28. UYowabhi wavuthela isigodlo; bema bonke abantu, ababa sawasukela amaSirayeli, ababa saphinda balwe.
29. UAbhinere namadoda akhe bahamba eArabha bonke obo busuku. Bayiwela iYordan, bayihamba yonke iBhitron, beza eMahanayim.
30. Wabuya ke uYowabhi ekumsukeleni uAbhinere; wabahlanganisa abantu bonke, kwasweleka kubakhonzi bakaDavide ishumi elinesithoba lamadoda, noAsaheli.
