Onke amadodana akhe nawo onke amadodakazi akhe asuka ukuyomduduza, kepha wala ukudud uzwa, wathi: Ngiyakwehla, ngiye endodaneni yami endaweni yabafileyo ngilila. Uyise wamlilela-ke.

Wathi-ke umuntu kuJowabe : Noma bengiyakukhokhelwa izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane zesiliva esandleni sami , nokho bengingayikuselulela isandla sami endodaneni yenkosi, ngokuba ezindlebeni zethu inkosi yakuyala wena no-Abishayi no-Ithayi ukuthi: Yilondeni insizwa u-Abisalomu.

Kwakukhona umuntu omubi ogama lakhe lalinguSheba indodana kaBikri umBenjamini; wabetha icilongo , wathi: Asinasabelo kuDavide , asinafa endodaneni kaJese; yiyani nonke ematendeni enu, Israyeli.

Wonke u-Israyeli esebonile ukuthi inkosi ayibalalelanga, abantu babuyisela izwi enkosini , bathi: Sinasabelo sini kuDavide na? Ifa asinalo endodaneni kaJese. Yana ematendeni akho , Israyeli, zibhekele indlu yakho manje , Davide. Wayesesuka u-Israyeli, waya ematendeni akhe.

Kwathi izitsha sezigcwele , wathi endodaneni yakhe : Sondeza kimi nesinye isitsha. Kepha yathi kuye: Akusekho sitsha. Amafutha anquma-ke.

Wonke u-Israyeli esebonile ukuthi inkosi ayibalalelanga , abantu babuyisela izwi enkosini , bathi: Sinasabelo sini kuDavide na ? Ifa asinalo endodaneni kaJese. Yilowo nalowo makaye etendeni lakhe , Israyeli; zibhekele indlu yakho manje, Davide. Wayesesuka u-Israyeli wonke, waya ematendeni akhe.

Noma yini eniyakukucela egameni lami ngiyakukwenza ukuba uBaba akhazimuliswe eNdodaneni.
