5 Jaanong e rile kgosi Dafita a fitlha kwa Bahurime, ga tlhaga monna teng wa losika lwa ga Saule, leina la gagwe e le Simei morwa Gera; ene a tlhaga a ntse a tlhapatsa;

15 Mme Abesalomo le banna botlhe ba Iseraele ba fitlha kwa Jerusalema; le Ahithofele a na nae.

16 Jaanong ya re Husai wa Moaregi, tsala ya ga Dafita, a tsena kwa go Abesalomo, a raya Abesalomo a re: “A kgosi e phele! A kgosi e phele!”

17 Mme Abesalomo a botsa Husai a re: “A ke lone lorato lwa go rata tsala ya gago? Ntlha ga o a ya nayo?”

18 Ke fa Husai a raya Abesalomo a re: “Nnyaya! Ene yo o tlhaotsweng keMorenale morafe o le banna botlhe ba Iseraele ke ene yo ke tla nnang wa gagwe, ke nna nae.

19 La bobedi, ke direla mang? A ga se morwawe? Ke tla go direla fela jaaka ke diretse rraago.”

20 Jaanong Abesalomo a raya Ahithofele a re: “Gakololanang gore re ka dirang?”

21 Ahithofele a fetola Abesalomo a re: “Tsena kwa bagadingwaneng ba ga rraago ba o ba tlogetseng go disa ntlo; foo Baiseraele botlhe ba tla utlwa gore o tenetse rraago ruri, mme diatla tsa botlhe ba ba nang nao di tla tia.”

22 Ke fa ba tlhomela Abesalomo tente mo godimo ga dithulelo tsa ntlo, mme Abesalomo a tsena kwa bagadingwaneng ba ga rraagwe mo ponong ya Baiseraele botlhe.
