²Oo Saa'uul wiilkiisii Iishboshed ahaana wuxuu lahaa laba nin oo askartiisa saraakiil u ahaa. Mid magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Bacanaah, oo kan kale magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Reekaab, oo waxayna ahaayeen ilmo Rimmon kii reer Bi'irod, oo waxayna ahaayeen reer Benyaamiin (waayo, Bi'irod waxaa lagu tiriyey reer Benyaamiin,

⁵Oo Rimmonkii reer Bi'irod wiilashiisii oo ahaa Reekaab iyo Bacanaah way tageen, oo wakhti kulul ayay gurigii Iishboshed yimaadeen, isagoo hadhkii nasanaya.

⁶Vakapinda mukati meimba, vachiita sokuda kutora gorosi, vakamubaya nomudumbu; Rekabhu naBhaana ndokutiza.

⁶Oo gurigay soo galeen, sidii iyagoo sarreen qaadanaya; markaasay caloosha ka dooxeen. Markaasaa Reekaab iyo walaalkiis Bacanaah baxsadeen.

⁷nekuti vakanga vapinda mumba make mokuvata, vakamubaya, vakamuuraya, vakagura musoro wake, ndokutora musoro wake, vakaenda nenzira yeArabha usiku hwose.

⁷Markay guriga soo galeen, isagoo sariirta ku jiifa oo qolka la seexdo ku jira, ayay garaaceen oo dileen, oo madaxiina way ka gooyeen oo la tageen, markaasay jidkii Caraabaah habeenkii oo dhan sii guuraynayeen.

⁹Markaasaa Daa'uud ugu jawaabay Reekaab iyo walaalkiis Bacanaah, oo ahaa ilma Rimmonkii reer Bi'irod, Waxaan ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbigii naftayda ka badbaadshay cidhiidhi oo dhan,
