U-Abisalomu wathi kuJowabe: Bheka, ngithumele kuwe, ngithi: Woza lapha ukuba ngikuthume enkosini ukuyothi : Ngisukeleni eGeshuri na ? Ngabe kungcono kimi ukuba bengisekh ona lapho . Ngalokho mangibone ubuso benkosi; uma kukhona icala kimi, mayingibulale.

Yayisithi: Hamba ubone ukuthi uphi ukuba ngithumele ngimlande . Watshelwa ukuthi: Bheka, useDothani.

Ngithumele futhi imisedari, nemisayipuresi, nemi-alimugi evela eLebanoni, ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi izinceku zakho ziyakwazi ukugawula imithi eLebanoni; bheka, izinceku zami ziyakuba nezinceku zakho

Usho kanje uJehova , uMhlengi wenu, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uthi: Ngenxa yenu ngithumele eBabele, ngiyakwehlisa bonke njengababaleki , namaKaledi ngemikhumbi yokujabula kwawo.

ngithumele kini indlala nezilwane ezimbi, zikwaphuce abantwana, kudlule phezu kwakho isifo negazi , ngehlisele inkemba phezu kwakho . Mina Jehova ngikhulumile.

Ngalokho-ke ngithumele kini uThimothewu ongumntanami othandekayo nothembekayo eNkosini , oyakunikhumbuza ngokuhamba kwami okukuKristu, njengokuba ngifundisa ezindaweni zonke emabandleni onke.
