9. Weva uToyi ukumkani waseHamati, ukuba uDavide uyixabele yonke impi kaHadadezere.
10. UToyi wamthuma uYoram, unyana wakhe, kukumkani uDavide, ukuba ambuze ukuphila kwakhe, amsikelele ngenxa yokuba ebelwile noHadadezere wamxabela; ngokuba uToyi ubengumfo obesilwa noHadadezere; waye uYoram lowo eneempahla zesilivere, neempahla zegolide, neempahla zobhedu esandleni sakhe.

16. Ke uYowabhi, unyana kaTseruya, wayephethe umkhosi; noYehoshafati, unyana ka-Ahiludi, wayengumkhumbuzi wezinto zakomkhulu.
17. UTsadoki unyana ka-Ahitubhi, noAhimeleki unyana ka-Abhiyatare, baye bengababingeleli; uSeraya waye engumbhali;
18. uBhenaya, unyana kaYehoyada, ubephethe abancinithi nezigidimi. Oonyana bakaDavide babengababingeleli.
