umpristi abuye ngosuku lwesikhombisa , abheke; uma ibala landile odongeni lwendlu,

Woyibhidliza, amatshe ayo namapulangwe ayo nalo lonke udaka lwendlu akukhiphe emzini, akulahle endaweni engcolileyo.

Sebehlile endaweni ephakemeyo bangena emzini ; wakhuluma noSawule ophahleni lwendlu.

Wayeselinganisa udonga lwendlu : yizingalo eziyisithupha ; nobubanzi bamakamelo ezinhlangothi: yizingalo ezine nxazonke zendlu emaceleni onke.

Amakamelo ezinhlangothi ayemathathu elakanyene elinye phezu kwelinye , engamashumi amathathu ngomumo . Angena odongeni olwalungolwendlu lwamakamelo ezinhlangothi nxazonke ukuba abambelele kulo, angabambeleli odongeni lwendlu.

Isakhiwo esasiphambi kwendawo eyahlukanisiweyo ngasentshonalanga , ububanzi baso babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa; uhlonze lodonga lwendlu lwaluyizingalo eziyisihlanu nxazonke , nobude balo buyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye.

Bavuka ekuseni ; kwathi kusantwela , uSamuweli wabiza uSawule esophahleni lwendlu, wathi: Vuka ukuba ngikumukise. Wayesevuka uSawule, baphuma bobabili, baya phandle, yena noSamuweli.

Kwathi kusihlwa uDavide wavuka embhedeni , wahamba ophahleni lwendlu yenkosi, wabona esesophahleni owesifazane egeza ; owesifazane wayemuhle kakhulu, ebukeka.

Bammisela u-Abisalomu itende ophahleni lwendlu; u-Abisalomu wangena kuzo izancinza zikayise emehlweni abo bonke abakwa-Israyeli.

Ngasodongeni lwendlu wakha izimpondo nxazonke ngasezindongeni zendlu nxazonke, ethempelini nasegumbini ; wenza amaka melo asezinhlangothini nxazonke;

Abalindi bema , kwaba yilowo nalowo enezikhali zakhe esandleni sakhe , kusukela ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu kuze kube sohlangothini lwesokhohlo lwendlu, ngase-altare nasendlini nxazonke zenkosi.

Amaphiko amakherubi ayeyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili; iphiko lelinye laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu , lathinta odongeni lwendlu ; elinye iphiko nalo laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu, lathinta ephikweni lelinye ikherubi.

Iphiko lelinye ikherubi laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu , lathinta odo ngeni lwendlu; elinye iphiko laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu nalo , lafinyelela ephikweni lelinye ikherubi.

Wamisa abantu bonke , kwaba yilowo nalowo enesikhali sakhe esandleni sakhe, kusukela ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu kuze kube sohlangothini lwesokhohlo lwendlu, ngase-altare nasendlini nxazonke zenkosi.

Base bephuma abantu, balanda lokho, bazenzela amadokodo, kwaba yilowo nalowo opha hleni lwendlu , nasemagcekeni abo , nasemagcekeni endlu kaNkulunkulu, nasesigcawini seSango Lamanzi, nasesigcawini seSango lakwa- Efrayimi.

Ngiyaqwasha, nginjengenyoni eyodwa ophahleni lwendlu.

Bayakuphanyeka phezu kwakhe lonke udumo lwendlu kayise , inzalo nabantwana, zonke izitsha ezincane, imicengezi nezinkamba.

Abayikuthatha umfelokazi nolahliweyo babe ngabafazi babo , kepha bathathe izintombi zozalo lwendlu yakwa -Israyeli, noma umfelokazi ongumfelokazi wompristi.

Wayesengibuyisela emnyango wendlu ; bheka, amanzi aphuma phansi kombundu wendlu ngasempumal anga, ngokuba ubuso bendlu babungasempumalanga; amanzi ehla evela phansi , ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu, ngaseningizimu kwe-altare.

Ngasona leso sikhathi kwavela iminwe yesandla somuntu , yaloba maqondana nothi lwezibani kokunamekiweyo kodonga lwendlu yenkosi ; inkosi yabona inxenye yesandla esalobayo.

UJehova uyakusindisa amatende akwaJuda kuqala , ukuze udumo lwendlu yakwaDavide nodumo lwabakhileyo eJerusalema lungakhuliswa phezu kukaJuda.
