Kwathi lapho inkosi uDavide ifika eBahurimi , bheka, kwaphuma khona umuntu womndeni wendlu kaSawule ogama lakhe linguShimeyi indodana kaGera; waphuma, wahamba ethuka.

Yathi inkosi: Nginamsebenzi muni nani madodana kaSeruya . Njengokuba ethuka, lokhu uJehova eshilo futhi kuye ukuthi : Thuka uDavide , ngubani ongasho ukuthi: Ukwenzeleni lokho na?

UDavide nabantu bakhe bahamba ngendlela ; uShimeyi wahamba eceleni kwentaba malungana naye , wahamba ethuka , wamphonsa ngamatshe , wamthela ngothuli. OHushayi no-Ahithofeli

Nkulunkulu, koze kube nini umcindezeli ethuka , isitha sihlambalaza igama lakho njalo, na?
