Wabiza uJehova, yena wamphendula ngomlilo+ owehlela e-alithareni lomnikelo wokutshiswa uvela ezulwini. 27 UJehova wasetshela ingilosi+ ukuthi ibuyisele inkemba yayo esikhwameni. 28 UDavida wabona ukuthi uJehova wayemphendulile esizeni sika-Onani umJebusi, yikho wayesehlala enikela khona imihlatshelo.
