Ɛno enti, Hanun kyeree Dawid abɔfoɔ no, yii obiara abɔgyesɛ fa, twitwaa wɔn ntadeɛ to mfimfini hɔ, tutuu mu, na wɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan, maa wɔde animguaseɛ kɔeɛ. 
Ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ Dawid amaneɛ no, ɔtuu abɔfoɔ ma wɔkɔhyiaa mmarima no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔguu wɔn anim ase yie. Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Montena Yeriko kɔsi sɛ mo abɔgyesɛ bɛfu ansa na moasane aba.”

Ɔgyaa akodɔm a wɔaka no maa ne nuabarima Abisai sɛ ɔnkɔto nhyɛ Amonfoɔ no so. 
Yoab ka kyerɛɛ ne nuabarima no sɛ, “Sɛ Aramfoɔ no yɛ den dodo ma me a, ɛyɛ a, bɛboa me. Na sɛ Amonfoɔ no nso yɛ den dodo ma wo a, me nso, mɛba abɛboa wo. 
Hyɛ wo ho den. Ma yɛmfa akokoɔduru nko nnye yɛn nkurɔfoɔ ne yɛn Onyankopɔn nkuro. Awurade pɛ nyɛ hɔ.” 
Ɛberɛ a Yoab ne nʼakodɔm to hyɛɛ Aramfoɔ no so no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dwaneeɛ. 
Na Amonfoɔ no hunuu sɛ Aramfoɔ no redwane no, wɔdwane firii Abisai ho kɔhyɛɛ kuro no mu. Ɔko no guiɛ no, Yoab sane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
