8 Dhavhidhi paakanzwa nezvazvo, akatuma Joabhi+ neuto rese kusanganisira varwi vake vaiva nesimba kupfuura vese.+ 9 VaAmoni vakabva vabuda, vakaronga mauto avo pasuo reguta, asi madzimambo akanga auya aiva kwawo ega musango.

10 Joabhi paakaona kuti mauto acho akanga achiuya kuzorwisana naye vamwe vari mberi vamwe vari shure, akasarudza vamwe vevarwi vaiva shasha dzekurwa muIsraeri akavaronga kuti varwe nevaSiriya.+ 11 Akaisa vamwe varume vese mumaoko aAbhishai mwana waamai vake,+ kuti avaronge kuti varwe nevaAmoni. 12 Akabva ati: “Kana vaSiriya+ vava kundikunda, unofanira kuuya kuzondinunura; asi kana vaAmoni vava kukukunda, ndichakununura. 13 Tinofanira kutosimba uye kushinga+ kuti tirwire vanhu vedu uye maguta aMwari wedu, uye Jehovha achaita zvaanoona kuti ndizvo zvakanaka.”

14 Joabhi nevarume vaaiva navo vakabva vafamba vachienda kunorwisana nevaSiriya, uye ivo vakamutiza.+ 15 VaAmoni pavakaona kuti vaSiriya vakanga vatiza, vakabva vatizawo Abhishai mwana waamai vake, vakapinda muguta. Pashure paizvozvo Joabhi akasvika muJerusarema.

16 VaSiriya pavakaona kuti vakanga vakundwa nevaIsraeri, vakatuma nhume kuti dzinoshevedza vaSiriya vaiva munharaunda yeRwizi,*+ vachitungamirirwa naShofaki mukuru weuto raHadhadhezeri.+

17 Dhavhidhi paakaudzwa nezvazvo, akabva aunganidza vaIsraeri vese, akayambuka Jodhani, akasvika kwavaiva, akaronga mauto kuti arwe navo. Dhavhidhi akaronga mauto kuti asangane nevaSiriya, uye vakarwa naye.+ 18 Asi vaSiriya vakatiza vaIsraeri; uye Dhavhidhi akauraya vatyairi vengoro 7 000 nevarwi 40 000 vaifamba netsoka vevaSiriya, uye akauraya Shofaki mukuru weuto racho. 19 Varanda vaHadhadhezeri pavakaona kuti vakanga vakundwa nevaIsraeri,+ vakakurumidza kuyanana naDhavhidhi vakava pasi pake;+ uye vaSiriya vakanga vasisade kubatsira vaAmoni zvakare.

20 Pakutanga kwegore,* panguva yaienda madzimambo kunorwa, Joabhi+ akatungamirira uto kunorwa uye akaparadza nyika yevaAmoni; akaenda kunokomba Rabha,+ Dhavhidhi akasara ari muJerusarema.+ Joabhi akarwisa Rabha akaiparadza.+ 2 Dhavhidhi akabva abvisa korona yaiva mumusoro maMarikamu,* akaona kuti yairema tarenda* rimwe chete regoridhe, uye yaiva nematombo anokosha. Korona yacho yakaiswa mumusoro maDhavhidhi.

8 Ava ndivo vaiva vanhu vekuvaRefaimu+ vekuGati,+ uye vakaurayiwa naDhavhidhi nevanhu vake.

21 Satani* akafunga kurwisa vaIsraeri, akafurira Dhavhidhi kuti averenge vaIsraeri.+ 2 Saka Dhavhidhi akati kuna Joabhi+ nekuvakuru vevanhu: “Endai munoverenga vaIsraeri kubva kuBheeri-shebha kusvika kuDhani;+ mozondiudza zvamawana kuti ndizive kuti vangani.” 3 Asi Joabhi akati: “Jehovha ngaawedzere vanhu vake zvakapetwa kazana! Ishe wangu mambo, vese havasi varanda vashe wangu nechekare here? Nei ishe wangu achida kuita izvi? Nei achida kuita kuti vaIsraeri vave nemhosva?”

4 Asi shoko ramambo rakakunda raJoabhi. Saka Joabhi akaenda, akatenderera neIsraeri yese, achibva azouya kuJerusarema.+ 5 Joabhi akabva apa Dhavhidhi nhamba yevanhu vakanga vaverengwa. VaIsraeri vese vakasvika varume 1 100 000 vaiva nemapakatwa, uye vaJudha vakasvika varume 470 000 vaiva nemapakatwa.+ 6 Asi haana kuverenga vaRevhi nevaBhenjamini paakaverenga vanhu,+ nekuti shoko ramambo harina kufadza Joabhi zvachose.+

7 Mwari wechokwadi akagumburwa nazvo, saka akarova Israeri. 8 Dhavhidhi akabva ati kuna Mwari wechokwadi: “Ndatadza+ chaizvo nezvandaita izvi. Saka ndapota, regererai mhosva yemushumiri wenyu,+ nekuti ndaita zveupenzi chaizvo.”+ 9 Jehovha akabva ataura naGadhi,+ muoni waDhavhidhi, achiti: 10 “Enda unoti kuna Dhavhidhi, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: “Ndiri kukupa zvinhu zvitatu.

14 Jehovha akabva aunza denda+ pavaIsraeri, zvekuti pakafa vanhu 70 000 muIsraeri.+ 15 Mwari wechokwadi akatumawo ngirozi kuJerusarema kuti inoriparadza; asi payakanga yava kuda kuriparadza, Jehovha akazviona, akazvidemba* pamusoro pedambudziko racho,+ uye akati kungirozi yakanga ichiparadza: “Zvakwana!+ Chidzikisa ruoko rwako.” Ngirozi yaJehovha yakanga yakamira pedyo neburiro* raOrinani+ muJebhusi.+

11 Dhavhidhi akabva apa mwanakomana wake Soromoni purani+ yevharanda neyedzimba dzayo,+ nedzimba dzayo dzekuchengetera zvinhu, nedzimba dzepadenga rayo, nedzimba dzayo dzemukati, neimba yechekukwidibirisa chekuyananisa.*+ 12 Akamupa purani yezvinhu zvese yaakanga apiwa achiita zvekufemerwa* yezvivanze+ zveimba yaJehovha, yedzimba dzese dzekudyira dzaiva kumativi ese, yedzimba dzekuchengetera pfuma yeimba yaMwari wechokwadi, uye dzimba dzepfuma yezvinhu zvakatsveneswa;*+ 13 akamurayirawo zvekuita pamusoro pemapoka evapristi+ neevaRevhi, pamusoro pebasa rese repaimba yaJehovha, nemidziyo yese yebasa repaimba yaJehovha; 14 uye pamusoro peuremu hwegoridhe, goridhe remidziyo yese yemabasa akasiyana-siyana, neuremu hwemidziyo yese yesirivha, uye hwemidziyo yese yemabasa akasiyana-siyana; 15 neuremu hwezvigadziko zvemarambi zvegoridhe+ nemarambi azvo egoridhe, uremu hwezvigadziko zvemarambi zvakasiyana-siyana nemarambi azvo, neuremu hwezvigadziko zvemarambi zvesirivha, hwechigadziko chimwe nechimwe chemarambi nemarambi acho zvichienderana nezvachaishandiswa; 16 uyewo uremu hwegoridhe rematafura ezvingwa zvinoturikidzaniswa,*+ retafura imwe neimwe, pamwe chete nesirivha yematafura esirivha, 17 nemaforogo, ndiro, nemajagi zvegoridhe rakanatswa, neuremu hwendiro diki dzegoridhe,+ hwendiro diki imwe neimwe, neuremu hwendiro diki dzesirivha, hwendiro diki imwe neimwe. 18 Akamupawo uremu hwegoridhe rakanatswa reatari yerusenzi,+ neremufananidzo wengoro,+ kureva makerubhi+ egoridhe ainge akatambanudza mapapiro awo, akavharidzira pamusoro peareka yesungano yaJehovha. 19 Dhavhidhi akati: “Ruoko rwaJehovha rwaiva pandiri, uye akandipa njere dzekuti ndigone kunyora zvese+ zviri papurani+ yacho.”

20 Dhavhidhi akabva ati kumwanakomana wake Soromoni: “Shinga usimbe, utange basa. Usatya kana kuvhunduka, nekuti Jehovha Mwari, Mwari wangu, anewe.+ Haazokuregi kana kukusiya,+ asi achava newe kusvikira basa rese reimba yaJehovha rapera. 21 Aya ndiwo mapoka evapristi+ neevaRevhi+ ebasa rese reimba yaMwari wechokwadi.

29 Mambo Dhavhidhi akati kuungano yese: “Mwanakomana wangu Soromoni, uyo asarudzwa naMwari,+ mudiki uye haana ruzivo,+ asi basa racho rakakura nekuti haisi temberi yemunhu* asi ndeyaJehovha Mwari.+ 2 Ndakashanda nesimba rangu rese ndichigadzirira kuvakwa kweimba yaMwari wangu, ndikapa goridhe rekugadzirisa zvinhu zvegoridhe, sirivha yekugadzirisa zvinhu zvesirivha, mhangura yekugadzirisa zvinhu zvemhangura, simbi yekugadzirisa zvinhu zvesimbi,+ nematanda+ ekugadzirisa zvinhu zvematanda, matombo eonikisi, nematombo anonamatidzwa nedhaka, tumatombo twekushongedza, matombo ese anokosha, nematombo earabhasta akawanda. 3 Uyewo sezvo ndichifarira imba yaMwari wangu,+ ndine pfuma yangu+ yegoridhe nesirivha yandiri kupa kuimba yaMwari wangu, kuwedzera pane zvese zvandakagadzirira imba tsvene, 4 kusanganisira matarenda* 3 000 egoridhe rekuOfiri,+ nematarenda 7 000 esirivha yakanatswa zvekunamirira pamadziro edzimba, 5 zvekugadzirisa zvinhu zvegoridhe, zvinhu zvesirivha, nezvinhu zvese zvinofanira kugadzirwa nemhizha. Saka ndiani ari kuzvipira nhasi kuuya nechipo muruoko rwake chekupa Jehovha?”+

6 Machinda edzimba dzemadzibaba, nemachinda emadzinza aIsraeri, vakuru vezviuru nevemazana,+ nevakuru vebasa ramambo+ vakabva vazvipira. 7 Vakapa matarenda 5 000 egoridhe, madhariki* 10 000, matarenda 10 000 esirivha, matarenda 18 000 emhangura, nematarenda 100 000 esimbi zvekushandisa paimba yaMwari wechokwadi. 8 Munhu wese aiva nematombo anokosha akaapa kuti aiswe maichengeterwa pfuma yeimba yaJehovha umo maichengetwa naJehieri+ muGeshoni.+ 9 Vanhu vakafara chaizvo nekupa kwavakaita zvinhu izvi, nekuti vakapa mipiro kuna Jehovha nemwoyo wese,+ uye Mambo Dhavhidhi akafarawo chaizvo.

10 Dhavhidhi akabva arumbidza Jehovha pamberi peungano yese. Dhavhidhi akati: “Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, baba vedu, rumbidzwai nariini nariini. 11 Haiwa Jehovha, ukuru+ nesimba+ nerunako nekubwinya nekukudzwa+ ndezvenyu, nekuti zvinhu zvese zviri kudenga nepanyika ndezvenyu.+ Haiwa Jehovha, umambo ndehwenyu.+ Ndimi muri kuzviita kuti muve mukuru pane zvese. 12 Pfuma nekukudzwa zvinobva kwamuri,+ uye munotonga zvinhu zvese,+ muruoko rwenyu mune simba+ neukuru,+ uye ruoko rwenyu runogona kusimudzira munhu+ uye kupa vanhu vese simba.+ 13 Imi Mwari wedu, tinokutendai uye tinorumbidza zita renyu rakanaka.

14 “Asi ini ndini aniwo zvangu uye vanhu vangu chiiko kuti tikupei mipiro tichizvidira sezvataita?

20 Dhavhidhi akabva ati kuungano yese: “Rumbidzai Jehovha Mwari wenyu.” Ungano yese yakabva yarumbidza Jehovha Mwari wemadzitateguru avo, uye vakapfugama, vakadzikisa misoro yavo pamberi paJehovha uye pamberi pamambo. 21 Zuva rakatevera racho vakaramba vachipa zvibayiro kuna Jehovha nekupa mipiro inopiswa+ kuna Jehovha, mikono midiki 1 000 yemombe, makondohwe 1 000, makwayana makono 1 000, nemipiro yavo yezvinwiwa;+ vakapa zvibayiro zvakawanda zvevaIsraeri vese.+ 22 Vakaramba vachidya uye vachinwa pamberi paJehovha zuva iroro vachifara chaizvo,+ uye vakagadza Soromoni mwanakomana waDhavhidhi kechipiri kuti ave mambo, vakamuzodza pamberi paJehovha kuti ave mutungamiriri,+ uyewo Zadhoki kuti ave mupristi.+ 23 Soromoni akabva agara pachigaro cheumambo chaJehovha+ ari mambo panzvimbo yababa vake Dhavhidhi. Akabudirira, uye vaIsraeri vese vaimuteerera. 24 Machinda+ ese nevarwi vaiva nesimba,+ nevanakomana vese vaMambo Dhavhidhi,+ vakazviisa pasi paMambo Soromoni. 25 Jehovha akaita kuti Soromoni ave mukuru chaizvo pamberi pevaIsraeri vese uye akamupa rukudzo rukuru samambo rusina kumbobvira rwava namambo chero upi zvake weIsraeri akamutangira.+

Akatonga kwemakore 7 muHebroni,+ uye akatonga kwemakore 33 muJerusarema.+ 28 Akafa anyatsokwegura,+ agutswa neupenyu hurefu,* pfuma, nekukudzwa; uye mwanakomana wake Soromoni akava mambo panzvimbo yake.+ 29 Kana iri nhoroondo yaMambo Dhavhidhi, kubva kwainotangira kusvika kwainoperera, yakanyorwa mumashoko emuoni Samueri, muprofita Natani,+ nemuoni Gadhi,+ 30 pamwe chete nekutonga kwese kwaakaita, simba rake, nezvaiitika kwaari nekuvaIsraeri, nekuumambo hwese hwakanga hwakamupoteredza panguva yake.
