3 Lingendiselani lazo izizwe lezi. Lingendiseli amadodakazi enu emadodaneni azo kumbe lithathele amadodana enu abafazi phakathi kwamadodakazi azo,+ 4 ngoba azakwenza amadodana enu aphambuke, ayekele ukungilandela ayekhonza abanye onkulunkulu.+ Lapho-ke ulaka lukaJehova luzavutha phezu kwenu ahle alitshabalalise masinyane.+

8 Indlu ayezahlala kuyo yayakhiwe* egumeni eliseceleni+ kweNkundla Yokwahlulela. Zombili izakhiwo lezi zazifanana, zakhiwe ngobungcitshi. Indodakazi kaFaro ayeyithethe layo wayakhela indlu eyayifanana lenkundla le.+

24 Indodakazi kaFaro+ yasuka edolobheni likaDavida+ yayahlala endlini yayo eyayiyakhelwe nguSolomoni. Ngemva kwalokho uSolomoni wakha leMilo.*+

11 INkosi uSolomoni yathatha indodakazi kaFaro,+ yaphinda yathanda labanye abafazi abanengi ababengabezinye izizwe.+ Yathatha abesifazana abangamaMowabi,+ lama-Amoni,+ lama-Edomi, lamaSidoni,+ lamaHithi.+

25 Yikho ngawasola kakhulu amadoda lawo ngawaqalekisa, amanye ngawatshaya+ futhi ngawasiphuna inwele ngathi kuwo: “Fungani ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi alisoze lendisele amadodakazi enu emadodaneni abo, lokuthi alisoze lithathele amadodana enu amakhosikazi kubo njalo lani alisoze lithathe khona.+ 26 Abesifazana bezinye izizwe ayisibo yini abenza iNkosi uSolomoni yenza isono? Kuzo zonke izizwe kwakungelankosi enjengaye+ njalo wayethandwa nguNkulunkulu wakhe,+ yikho wambeka waba yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke kodwa abesifazana bezinye izizwe bamenza waphambuka.+ 27 Kuyamangalisa ukuthi lani selisenza into embi kangaka! Kalithembekanga kuNkulunkulu wethu ngoba selithatha abafazi kwezinye izizwe.”+
