25 Pamenepo Davide anauza mthengayo kuti: “Ukamuuze Yowabu kuti, ‘Usavutike mtima chifukwa cha nkhani imeneyi, pakuti lupanga lingakanthe+ wina aliyense. Inuyo menyani nkhondo mwamphamvu ndi mzindawo ndipo muugonjetse.’+ Choncho, ukamulimbikitse Yowabu.”

20 Ndiyeno ku chiyambi kwa chaka,+ pa nthawi imene mafumu anali kupita kukamenya nkhondo,+ Yowabu anatsogolera gulu lankhondo+ n’kukawononga dziko la ana a Amoni ndi kuzungulira mzinda wa Raba.+ Koma Davide anatsalira ku Yerusalemu. Tsopano Yowabu uja anapha anthu+ ku Raba n’kuwononga mzindawo.
