Atyanu oDawudi nʼabalwanibe owebatuukire omu kibuga oluzwanyuma lwʼenaku isatu, ni bayajirya ngʼaBamereki balumbire ekitundu kyʼe maserengeta gʼe Buyudaaya, era ni booca ekibuga oZikulaga, 
era nga bawambire abakali, nʼabantu bonabona abakibbareimu, abatobato nʼabakulu. Tibaitire muntu kadi moiza, neye baabire nabo waabi. 
Awo oDawudi nʼabalwanibe owebatuukire omu kibuga ekyo, bayajiirye nga bakyocerye era ngʼabakali baabwe, nʼabataane baabwe nʼabaala baabwe nga babawambire babatwaire. 
Awo oDawudi nʼabo abeyabbaire nabo ni bakuukulya paka amaani owegabawoiremu. 
Nʼabakali ba Dawudi bombi, Akinowamu owʼe Yezireeri, nʼAbbigairi onamwandu wa Nabbali owʼe Kalumeri, bona babbaire babanyagiiremu nga bona babatwaire. 
ODawudi nʼanakuwala ino, olwʼokubba abantu bakobere okumukubba amabbaale bamwite. Abantu bonabona emyoyo gyabalumire olwʼokulumirwa abataane baabwe nʼabaala baabwe. Neye oDawudi nʼairamu amaani olwʼokwesiga oMusengwa iye oKibbumbawe. 
ODawudi nʼakoba Abbiyasaali okabona omutaane wʼAkimereki ati, “Nkwegairiire ondeetere aanu eitaawo eryʼobwakabona.” Abbiyasaali nʼamuleetera eitaawo. 
ODawudi nʼabuulya oMusengwa ati, “Nsenjeeku abanyagi abo? Nabaajirya?” OMusengwa nʼamwiramu ati, “Obasenjeeku. Dala oyaba okubaajirya era wataasa abebawambire.” 
Kale oDawudi nʼabalwanibe 600 abeyabbaire nabo ni baaba. Owebatuukire oku kaiga oBbesoli, abamo kwibo ni basigala aawo. 
ODawudi ni yeeyongerayo nʼabalwani 400, olwʼokubba ibo 200 babbaire badembere ino, nga tibayezya okwambuka akaiga ako, ni basigala aawo. 
Abalwani ababbaire nʼoDawudi ni baajirya oMumisiri omu kigona, ni bamutwala eeri oDawudi. Ni bawa oMumisiri oyo amaizi nʼanywa nʼekyokulya nʼalya. 
Ni bamuwa nʼemuuma gyʼomutiini, nʼemuuma enkalu ibiri egyʼemizabbibbu emikamulemu omubisi. Oweyamalire okulya, nʼairamu amaani, olwʼokubba yabbaire amalire enaku isatu nga talya era nga tanywa, omusana nʼobwire. 
Awo oDawudi nʼamubuulya ati, “Omusengwawo niiye onaani, era ozwera yaina?” Nʼairamu ati, “Nze ndi mwisuka Mumisiri, omugalama wʼoMwamereki. Omusengwa wange yandekere owenalwaire atyanu enaku isatu egyankubitawo. 
Twabbaire tulumbire ekitundu ekyʼe maserengeta aBakeresi e gibatyama, nʼekitundu ekyʼe Buyudaaya, nʼekyʼekika kya Kalebbu, era ni twoca nʼekibuga oZikulaga.” 
ODawudi nʼamubuulya ati, “Oyezya okuntwala nʼontuuca oku banyagi abo?” Iye nʼamwiramu ati, “Nakutwala singa ondayirira omu liina lya Kibbumba oti tiwanjite, waire okumpaayo eeri omusengwa wange.” 
Era oweyamutwaireyo, yabaajiirye nga basalaanikiire omu kifo ekyo kyonakyona, nga balya, banywa era nga bajaagaana olwʼomunyago omunene ogubabbaire basunire okuzwa omu kyalo kyʼaBafiirisuuti nʼomu kya Yuda. 
Awo nga bwirugala, oDawudi nʼabalumba, nʼabalwanisya omu kiire ekyo kyonakyona paka igulo oku lunaku olwairireku. Era oku banyagi abo nandi wabbaawo kadi moiza alama, okutoolaku abavuvuka 400, abaniinire engamira ni bairuka. 
ODawudi nʼataasa era nʼairya ebintu byonabyona aBamereki ebibabbaire batwaire ngʼogaitireku nʼabakalibe bombi. 
Mpaawo oku bintu byabwe ekyagotereku, waire kitono ooba kinene, waire baana abaisuka ooba abaala, waire munyago ooba ekintu ekindi kyonakyona aBamereki ekibabbaire banyagire. ODawudi nʼakanja ebintu byonabyona ebibabbaire banyagire. 
ODawudi nʼatwala ebiraalo byʼentaama nʼebyʼente byonabyona, abadoomibe ni babidooma ni beekubbemberyamu ebyayo ebindi, nga bakoba bati, “Gunu munyago gwa Dawudi.” 
Awo oDawudi nʼakanga eeri abalwani 200, ababbaire badembere eino, abanandi bayezya okweyongera naye abasigaire oku kaiga oBbesoli. Ni bazwayo okusisinkana oDawudi nʼabalwanibe ababbaire naye. ODawudi oweyabatuukireku, nʼabasugirya. 
Awo abalwani abʼemyoyo emibbimibbi era emifuuduuki bonabona, mwabo ababbaire baabire nʼoDawudi ni bakoba bati, “Ngʼowenandi baaba na iswe, titwabaweeku omunyago ogutuleetere, wazira bakwate abakali baabwe nʼabaana baabwe baabe.” 
Neye oDawudi nʼabairamu ati, “Bbe baganda bange, timwakola mutyo ebintu oMusengwa ebyatuwaire! Atukuumire nʼatuwa okuwangula abanyagi abatulumbire. 
Era mpaawo eyawulisisya ebimukoba. Eyasigaire ngʼakuuma ebintu, nʼoyo eyaabire oku lutalo, bateekwa kusuna omugabo ogufaanana, baaba kugabana kyenkanyi.” 
Okuzwa kwolwo, ekyo oDawudi nʼakisuuca iteeka era mpisa omwIsirairi paka lwatyanu. 
Awo oDawudi oweyatuukire e Zikulaga, nʼaweereryaku abakaagwabe ibo abeekubbemberi ba Yuda, omunyago, ngʼakoba ati, “Kinu kirabo ekimbaweererya, kizwire oku munyago ogutwatoire oku balabe ba Musengwa.” 
Nʼakiweererya ababbaire omu Bbeseri, nʼabʼe Lamosi Negevu nʼabʼe Yaatiri, 
nʼabʼAloweri, nʼabʼe Sifumosi, nʼabʼEsutemowa, 
nʼabʼe Lakali, nʼabʼomu bibuga byʼaBayerameeri nʼabʼomu bibuga byʼaBakeeni 
nʼabʼe Koluma, nʼabʼe Bbola Asani, nʼabʼAsaki 
nʼabʼe Kebbulooni, nʼomu bifo byonabyona oDawudi nʼabalwanibe ebibatambuliiremu.
