a ba mu zuriyarsa maza bakwai, mu kashe su, mu kuma rataye jikunansu a gaban Ubangiji a Gibeya na Shawulu wannan zaɓaɓɓen Ubangiji.” Sai sarki ya ce, “Zan ba ku su.” 
Sarki ya ware Mefiboshet ɗan Yonatan jikan Shawulu, saboda rantsuwar da take tsakanin Dawuda da Yonatan, ɗan Shawulu a gaban Ubangiji. 
Amma sarki ya ɗauki Armoni da Mefiboshet, ’ya’ya biyu maza waɗanda Rizfa ’yar Aiya ta haifa wa Shawulu, tare da ’ya’ya maza biyar na Merab ’yar Shawulu, waɗanda ta haifa wa Adriyel ɗan Barzillai, mutumin Mehola.

Dawuda ya kawo ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan daga can, a kuma aka tattara dukan ƙasusuwan waɗanda Gibeyonawan suka kashe, suka kuma rataye. 
Suka binne ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan a kabarin Kish, mahaifin Shawulu, a Zela a Benyamin. Suka kuma yi kome da sarki ya umarta. Bayan wannan Allah ya ji addu’arsu a madadin ƙasar. 
Har yanzu yaƙi ya sāke ɓarke tsakanin Filistiyawa da Isra’ila. Sai Dawuda ya gangara tare da mutanensa don su yaƙi Filistiyawa, gajiya ta kama shi. 
Ishbi-Benob kuwa, wani daga zuriyar Rafa, wanda nauyin kan māshinsa na tagulla ya yi shekel ɗari uku, wanda yake kuma da sabon māshi, ya ce zai kashe Dawuda. 
Amma Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya kawo wa Dawuda gudummawa; ya bugi Bafilistin, ya kashe shi. Sa’an nan mutanen Dawuda suka rantse masa suka ce, “Ba za ka ƙara fita tare da mu wurin yaƙi ba, don kada fitilar Isra’ila tă mutu.” 
Ana nan, sai aka sāke yin wani yaƙin da Filistiyawa, a Gob. A lokacin Sibbekai mutumin Husha ya kashe Saf, wani daga zuriyar Rafa. 
Sai aka sāke yin wani yaƙin da Filistiyawa a Gob, Elhanan ɗan Ya’are-Oregim mutumin Betlehem ya kashe Goliyat mutumin Gat, wanda girmar sandan māshinsa ta yi kama da taɓarya.

Waɗannan huɗu zuriyar Rafa ne a Gat, suka kuwa mutu ta hannu Dawuda da mutanensa.
