Awo oDawudi nga yankubitaku katono oku nairungu wʼolusozi e gibasinziranga oKibbumba, nʼayajirya oZibba omuweererya wa Mefibbosesi ngʼakuumiriire okusisinkana oDawudi. OZibba yabbaire nʼendogoyi ibiri enjalirireku oku migongo, nga gyetiikire emigaati 200, nʼemuuma enkalu 100 egyʼemizabbibbu emikamulemu omubisi, nʼemuuma gyʼemizaituuni gyona 100 nʼekisawo ekyʼeidiba ekiizwire enviinyo.

Okabaka nʼabuulya ati, “OMefibbosesi omwizukulu wʼomusengwawo ali yaina?” OZibba nʼairamu okabaka ati, “Asigaireyo mu Yerusaalemi, olwʼokubba aseega ati olwatyanu aBaisirairi bamwirirya obwakabaka bwa zeizawe.” 
Awo okabaka nʼakoba oZibba ati, “Byonabyona ebibbaire ebya Mefibbosesi, atyanu bibyo.” OZibba nʼakoba ati, “Neebalya ino nʼobuwombeeki, era nsaba nti neeyongere okubba mukoda egyoli musengwa wange kabaka.” 
Awo okabaka oDawudi oweyabbaire yatira okutuuka omu kibuga oBbakulimu, ni wazwayo omusaiza eriinalye bati Semeeyi omutaane wa Gera, eyabbaire owʼekika kya Sawulo. Era oSemeeyi nʼayaba ngʼaduula oDawudi. 
Nʼakasuukirira oDawudi amabbaale aamo nʼabakungube bonabona, newankubbaire amajeege nʼabaisirikale abamukuuma babbaire bamweruguuliriirye. 
Awo oSemeeyi nʼaduula oDawudi ati, “Ozwe aanu, ozwe aanu musaiza iwe omutemo era omwonoonoki! 
OMusengwa anyaaŋire lwʼabantu bonabona abʼenyumba ya Sawulo abewaitire era oSawulo oyo oguwanyagireku obwakabaka obwobbaire ofuga. Obwakabaka obwo oMusengwa abukwatisirye Abbusalomu omutaanewo. Aale obone atyanu otuukire okujigirika olwʼokubba oli mutemo!” 
Awo Abbisaayi omutaane wa Zeruyiya, nʼakoba okabaka ati, “Lwaki ekisaiza ekyo ekinambulamu ooti kibbwa ekifu, kikuduulyaga musengwa wange kabaka? Onjikirirye njabe nkitemeku omutwe.” 
Neye okabaka nʼakoba Abbisaayi ati, “Kibakwatiraku yaina inywe abataane ba Zeruyiya! OSemeeyi owaabba ngʼanduula olwʼokubba oMusengwa niiye amukobere ati, ‘Oduule oDawudi,’ naani ayezya okumubuulya lwaki akola ekyo?” 
ODawudi nʼakoba abakungube bonabona nʼAbbisaayi ati, “Atyanu, obanga omutaane wange onanyerenyeere niiye ataka okunjita, neye kaisi bati oMubbenyamini oyo? Kale mumuleke aduule, olwʼokubba oMusengwa niiye amukobere. 
Amo-so oMusengwa yabona obugosi bunu obwendimu, nʼansasula ekisa omu kunduula okubali kunduulyaga olwatyanu.” 
Awo oDawudi nʼababbaire naye ni beeyongera okutambula omu luguudo ngʼoSemeeyi atambulira oku nsozisozi egyʼoku lubba lwʼenzira eyo ngʼayaba amuduula, era ngʼamukasuukirira amabbaale, nʼokumumwagaku ensenye. 
Okabaka nʼabantube bonabona abeyabbaire nabo owebatuukiire oku mwiga oYoludaani babbaire badembere era ni bawuumuliraku aawo. 
Atyanu Abbusalomu nʼaBaisirairi bonabona abeyabbaire nabo ni batuuka e Yerusaalemi era Abbusalomu yabbaire aamo nʼAkisofeeri. 
OKusaayi oMwaluki, omukaagwa wa Dawudi, nʼayaba nʼakoba Abbusalomu ati, “Iwe kabaka owangaale! Iwe kabaka owangaale!” 
Abbusalomu nʼabuulya oKusaayi ati, “Okwo niikwo okutaka okwotakamu omukaagwawo oDawudi? Lwaki tiwaabire nʼomukaagwawo oyo?” 
OKusaayi nʼakoba Abbusalomu ati, “Bbe, nze nawagiranga yooyo oMusengwa nʼabantu banu aBaisirairi bonabona ogubalondere, era niiye ogunaabbanga naye. 
Era nʼekindi, naani ogunaweererya nga tiniiwe omutaanewe? Ngʼowenaweereryanga oiteewo, ntyo nakimo wenakuweereryanga.” 
Awo Abbusalomu nʼakoba Akisofeeri ati, “Otuweeku amalabuki, niki ekitubba tukola?” 
Akisofeeri nʼakoba Abbusalomu ati, “Oyabe weegaite nʼabakali ba iteewo abeyalekere okukuuma olubiri. Awo nabuli muntu aali omwIsirairi oweyakiwulira, yamanya ati weesuucirye kyokwenyinyalya eeri oiteewo, era bonabona abali na iwe, beeyongera okubba bʼamaani.” 
Awo ni bakomekera Abbusalomu eweema yʼobugole e ngulu oku nyumba ya kabaka, Abbusalomu nʼaingiramu ngʼabantu bonabona babona, era ni yeegaita nʼabakali ba iteeye. 
Atyanu omu biseera ebyo amalabuki Akisofeeri ageyaawanga, bagatwalanga ooti gazwire eeri oKibbumba. Kale eyo niiyo engeri oDawudi nʼAbbusalomu egibatwalangamu amalabuki gonagona Akisofeeri ageyaawanga.
