Context
4Daudi alikuwa na miaka thelathini alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala Israeli miaka arobaini. 5Huko Hebroni alitawala Yuda kwa miaka saba na miezi sita, na katika Yerusalemu alitawala Israeli yote na Yuda kwa miaka thelathini na mitatu. 6Mfalme na watu wake wakaenda Yerusalemu kuwashambulia Wayebusi walioishi humo. Wayebusi wakamwambia Daudi, “Wewe hutaingia humu, kwani hata vipofu na viwete wanaweza kukufukuza.” Walidhani, “Daudi hawezi kuingia humu.” 7Hata hivyo, Daudi akaiteka ngome ya Sayuni, Mji wa Daudi. 8Siku ile, Daudi akasema, “Yeyote ambaye atawashinda Wayebusi, atatumia huo mfereji kuwafikia hao ‘viwete na vipofu’ ambao ni adui za Daudi.” Ndiyo sababu wanasema, “ ‘Vipofu na viwete’ hawataingia kwenye jumba la ufalme.”
