14 Abisirayeli bamaze imyaka 18 bakorera Eguloni umwami w’i Mowabu.+

6 Ariko Abisirayeli bongera gukora ibintu Yehova yanga.+ Nuko Yehova abateza Abamidiyani bamara imyaka irindwi+ bababuza amahoro. 2 Abamidiyani bakandamije Abisirayeli.+ Ni yo mpamvu Abisirayeli bashatse ahantu ho kwihisha* mu misozi, mu buvumo n’ahandi hantu umuntu adapfa kugera.+ 3 Iyo Abisirayeli bateraga imyaka, Abamidiyani, Abamaleki+ n’ab’Iburasirazuba+ barabateraga. 4 Barazaga bagashinga amahema bakabarwanya, bakangiza imyaka yose yeze mu mirima yabo kugeza i Gaza. Nta kintu na kimwe cyo kurya basigaga muri Isirayeli, nta n’intama, inka cyangwa indogobe+ babasigiraga. 5 Bazanaga n’amatungo yabo n’amahema yabo ari benshi cyane nk’inzige+ kandi bo n’ingamiya zabo babaga ari benshi cyane,+ bakaza bakangiza ibiri mu gihugu.

27 Ni cyo cyatumye ubareka maze abanzi babo+ bagakomeza kubateza amakuba.+ Ariko iyo babaga bageze muri ayo makuba baragusengaga cyane binginga, nawe ukabumva uri mu ijuru maze ukaboherereza abo kubakiza abanzi babo kubera ko ugira impuhwe nyinshi.+
