The energies of the degenerate spin-flip doublet (3{sup +}/2,5{sup +}/2) of {sub {lambda}}{sup 9}Be and of the 2{sup +} state of {sub {lambda}}{sub {lambda}}{sup 10}Be are analyzed in the {alpha} cluster model using a phenomenological dispersive three-body {lambda}{alpha}{alpha} force that reproduces the ground state energy of {sub {lambda}}{sup 9}Be. Two types of phenomenological {lambda}{alpha} and {alpha}{alpha} potentials and a few s-state {lambda}{lambda} potentials are taken as input. The energies of the excited states of the hypernuclei, treated as three- and four-body systems, calculated using the Variational Monte Carlo method, are in good agreement with the experimental values. Our results demonstrate that the existing data are insensitive to whether one employs a dispersive {lambda}{alpha}{alpha} force along with potentials in the relative angular momentum state l=0 and 2 as in the present work or whether one uses nonlocal {lambda}{alpha} potential as in earlier analyses.
