7 Salomo yari afise abatware 12 muri Isirayeli yose baronsa umwami n’urugo rwiwe ibifungurwa. Umwe wese muri bo yari afise ukwezi kumwe mu mwaka abitangamwo+. 8 Abo batware ni aba: mwene Huru yatwara akarere k’imisozi ka Efurayimu. 9 Mwene Dekeri yatwara akarere k’i Makazi, i Shalubimu+, i Beti-Shemeshi n’i Eloni-Beti-Hanani. 10 Mwene Hesedi yakorera i Aruboti (agatwara ahitwa Soko n’akarere kose ka Heferi). 11 Mwene Abinadabu yatwara akarere kose k’imirambi y’i Dori (yarongoye umukobwa wa Salomo yitwa Tafati). 12 Bayana mwene Ahiludi yatwara i Tanaki, i Megido+ no mu karere kose ka Beti-Sheyani+ kari hafi y’i Saretani munsi y’i Yezireli.

Kandi mu gihugu cose no ku mbibe zaco zose harangwa amahoro+. 25 Abo mu Buyuda no muri Isirayeli bose, kuva i Dani gushika i Beri-Sheba, bari babayeho mu mutekano, umwe wese yibera munsi y’umuzabibu wiwe no munsi y’igiti ciwe c’umusukoni.
