Hagi ana'ma hige'za Deviti eri'za vahe'amo'za nefa'ma frigeno'ma mani'nea zante Hanuni kenaku Amoni vahe mopafi e'naze.

UDavida wasesithi: Ngizamenzela umusa uHanuni indodana kaNahashi, ngoba uyise wangenzela umusa. UDavida wasethuma izithunywa ukuyamduduza ngoyise. Izinceku zikaDavida zasezifika elizweni labantwana bakoAmoni kuHanuni ukumduduza.
