8 Zvino Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakaenda vakandopamba vaGeshuri, vaGeziri, navaAmareki. (Kubva kare vanhu ava vakanga vachigara munyika yaisvika kuShuri neIjipiti.)
Na rĩrĩ, Daudi na andũ ake makĩambata magĩthiĩ magĩtharĩkĩra andũ a Geshuru, na Agirizi na Aamaleki. (Kuuma tene andũ acio maatũũraga thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa ũthiĩte ũgakinya Shuri na Misiri.)
