1 Hairam, bú eze Taia, we zigara Devid ndi-ozi, na osisi cedar, na ndi-ọ̀kà na nkume, na ndi-ọ̀kà n’osisi, iwuru Devid ulo.

9 Ma ndi Filistia biara, nọdu na ndagwurugwu Refaim.

10 Devid we jua Chineke ase, si, M’gārigo imegide ndi Filistia? Ì gēnye kwa ha n’akam? Jehova we si ya, Rigo; M’gēnye kwa ha n’aka-gi.
