Lowo muntu, inkosi yezwe, wayesethi kithi: Ngalokhu ngiyokwazi ukuthi ningabaqotho: shiyani kimi omunye wabafowenu, niphathele indlala yezindlu zenu ukudla, nimuke,

USawule wathi kuma Kheni: Hambani nimuke , nehle kuwo ama -Amaleki, funa nginichithe kanye nawo , ngokuba nabenzela umusa bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ekukhuphukeni kwabo eGibithe . Ayesesuka amaKheni phakathi kwama-Amaleki.

UDavide wayesethi ezincekwini zakhe zonke ezazinaye eJerusalema : Sukani, sibaleke, ngokuba, uma singenzi njalo, akuyikuphunyuka muntu kithi phambi kuka-Abisalomu; sheshani, nimuke, funa asifice masinyane, asehlisele okubi, awuchithe umuzi ngosiko lwenkemba.

Nakumuphi umuzi noma umuzana eniyakungena kuwo , cingani ofaneleyo kuwo, nihlale khona, nize nimuke.

Wathi kubo : Nakuphi lapho ningena khona endlini , hlalani kuyo , nize nimuke khona.

Nakuyiphi indlu eningena kuyo, hlalani lapho, nize nimuke khona.
