18 Ingilosi kaJehova yasitshela uGadi+ ukuthi ayetshela uDavida ukuthi ahambe ayekwakhela uJehova i-alithare esizeni sika-Onani umJebusi.+ 19 UDavida wasuka wayakwenza lokho uGadi ayemtshele khona ethunywe nguJehova. 20 Ngalesosikhathi u-Onani wayebhula ingqoloyi. Watshibilika wabona ingilosi, amadodana akhe amane asecatsha. 21 Wathi ekhangela wabona uDavida esiza kuye, wahle waphuma esizeni waguqa phambi kwakhe wathi mbo phansi ngobuso. 22 UDavida wathi ku-Onani: “Ngithengisela* isiza sakho, ngifuna ukwakhela uJehova i-alithare. Ngithengisela sona ngentengo yaso epheleleyo ukuze umkhuhlane lo oqeda abantu uphele.”+ 23 Kodwa u-Onani wathi kuDavida: “Sithathe sibe ngesakho. Inkosi yami kayenze lokho ekubona kukuhle. Nanzi inkomo zomnikelo wokutshiswa lesileyi sokubhula+ esizakuba zinkuni zokubasa umlilo. Nansi lengqoloyi ezakuba ngumnikelo wamabele. Konke lokhu ngiyakunika.”

3 Ngemva kwalokho uSolomoni waqalisa ukwakha indlu kaJehova+ eJerusalema entabeni iMoriya,+ lapho uJehova ayebonakale khona kuyise uDavida.+ Indlu le wayakha esizeni* sika-Onani+ umJebusi, endaweni uDavida ayeyilungisile.
