18 Ngelangelo uJehova wenza isivumelwano+ no-Abramu, wathi: “Inarha+ le ngizoyinikela iinzukulwana zakho, kusukela emlanjeni weGibhide ukuya emlanjeni omkhulu, umlambo iYufrathe.+

31 “Ngizokubeka imikhawulwenu kusukela eLwandle eliBomvu kuya elwandle lamaFilista, kusukela emmangweni kuya eMlanjeni*+ ngombana ngizokunikela abantu abahlala khona esandleni senu, nizobaqotha phambi kwenu.+

21 USolomoni wabusa yoke imibuso kusukela eMlanjeni*+ kufikela enarheni yamaFilista nemkhawulweni weGibhide. Baletha umthelo begodu basebenzela uSolomoni yoke imihla yokuphila kwakhe.+

3 UDavida wahlula ikosi yeTsoba,+ uHadadi-Ezeri+ eduze neRhamathi+ nayisendleleni iyokuhloma ubukhosi bayo eMlanjeni iYufrathe.+ 4 UDavida wayithathela iinkarana eziyi-1 000, abakhweli beenjomani abazii-7 000 namasotja akhamba ngeenyawo azii-20 000.+ Ngemva kwalokho, uDavida wasika imisipha yeenyawo zeenjomani ezidosa iinkarana kwasala ezili-100 kwaphela.+
