23 Yowabu n’ingabo ze zose bari kumwe bagisesekara aho, babwira Yowabu bati “Abuneri mwene Neri yaje i bwami, kandi umwami yamusezereye agenda amahoro.”
24 Nuko Yowabu ajya i bwami abaza umwami ati “Ibyo wakoze ni ibiki? Ariko Abuneri ko yaje iwawe, ni iki cyatumye umusezerera akagenda rwose?
25 Nawe ntuzi ko Abuneri mwene Neri yazanywe no kukubeshya, no kugenzura uko utabara n’uko utabaruka, no kugenzura ibyo ukora byose?”

31 Dawidi aherako abwira Yowabu n’abari kumwe na we bose ati “Nimushishimure imyenda yanyu, mukenyere ibigunira muriririre imbere ya Abuneri.” Nuko Umwami Dawidi akurikira ikiriba cye.
32 Maze Abuneri bamuhamba i Heburoni, umwami ashyira hejuru umuborogo aririra ku gituro cya Abuneri, abantu bose bacika imiborogo.
33 Umwami aborogera Abuneri aravuga ati

34 Amaboko yawe ataboshywe,
Kandi ibirenge byawe bitaboheshejwe iminyururu,
Nk’uko umuntu agwa imbere y’abanyabyaha,
Ni ko uguye.”
Nuko abantu bongera kumuririra.
35 Hanyuma abantu bose baza guhata Dawidi ngo afungure hakiri kare, ariko Dawidi ararahira aravuga ati “Nindya ku mutsima cyangwa ikindi cyose ntarageza ko izuba rirenga, Imana ibimpore ndetse bikabije.”
