23 UJehova wathi kuye: “Esiswini sakho kulezizwe ezimbili+ njalo izizwe lezi ezimbili eziphakathi kwakho zizakwehlukaniswa.+ Esinye isizwe sizakuba lamandla ukwedlula esinye+ futhi omdala uzasebenzela omncane.”+

14 Wafaka amaqembu amabutho akhe kulo lonke elako-Edomi njalo bonke abantu bako-Edomi baba zinceku zikaDavida.+ UJehova wayesenza uDavida anqobe loba ngaphi lapho ayesiya khona.+

2 “Ngiyalithanda,”+ kutsho uJehova.

Kodwa lina lithi: “Utshengise njani ukuthi uyasithanda?”

“U-Esawu wayengasimfowabo kaJakhobe yini?”+ kutsho uJehova. “Kodwa ngathanda uJakhobe, 3 ngazonda u-Esawu,+ ngenza intaba zakhe zaba ngamanxiwa,+ lelifa lakhe ngalinika amakhanka asenkangala.”+
