22 Ngelinye ilanga u-Israyeli esahlala kuleyondawo uRubheni wahamba wayalala loBhiliha omunye umfazi kayise njalo u-Israyeli wayizwa indaba le.+

UJakhobe wayelamadodana angu-12.

4 Kodwa awusoze ube mkhulu ngenxa yokuthi waba njengamanzi esikhukhula, awuzange uzibambe, wakhwela phezu kombheda kayihlo.+ Ngalesosikhathi wangcolisa umbheda wami. URubheni wakhwela kuwo sibili!

11 Loba ngubani olala lomfazi kayise, uyabe enzele uyise into elihlazo.+ Yena lomfazi lowo kumele babulawe, yibo abazilethele ukufa.

20 “‘Uqalekisiwe umuntu olala lenkosikazi kayise ngoba uthelela uyise ihlazo.’*+ (Bonke abantu bazaphendula bathi, ‘Ameni!’)

21 U-Ahithofeli wathi ku-Abhisalomu: “Lala labafazi bakayihlo beceleni,+ labo abatshiye bekhangele umuzi wakhe.*+ Bonke abantu bazathi bekuzwa lokhu bakwazi ukuthi uyihlo usekuzonda kakhulu futhi bonke abakusekelayo bazaqina.”

5 Kubikwa ukuthi phakathi kwenu kulabantu abafebayo.*+ Ukuziphatha okubi* okunjalo akukho ngitsho lasebantwini bezinye izizwe,* ukuthi indoda ithathe umkayise.+
