UDavide wathi kubantu bakhe : Bhincani, kube yilowo nalowo inkemba yakhe. Zabhinca-ke, kwaba yilowo nalowo inkemba yak he; naye uDavide wabhinca inkemba yakhe ; kwakhuphuka emva kukaDavide abantu kungathi abangamakhulu amane, kepha abangamakhulu amabili bahlala empahleni.

U-Abigayili wafika kuNabali ; bheka, wayenedili endlini yak he, linjengedili lenkosi; inhliziyo kaNabali yayithokoza phakathi kwakhe , ngokuba wayephuze kakhulu ; ngalokho akamtshelanga lutho oluncane nolukhul u kwaze kwaba sekuseni.

namakhosi ethu, nezikhulu zethu, nabapristi bethu, nawobaba abagcinanga umthetho wakho , kabalalelanga imiyalo yak ho nezixwayiso zakho obaxwayise ngazo.

Ngiyakumjezisa yena nenzalo yak he nezinceku zakhe ngokona kwabo , ngehlisele phezu kwabo , naphezu kwabakhileyo eJerusalema , naphezu kwabantu bakwaJuda konke okubi engikukhulume ngabo , bengalalelanga kodwa.

Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yak ho, nothando, nokukholwa, nokukhonza, nokubekezela kwakho , nokuthi imisebenzi yakho yokugcina miningi kuneyokuqala.
