18 Nxa isihlala esihlalweni sobukhosi embusweni wayo, kumele ithathe ibhuku* izibhalele uMthetho lo kulo, iwuthatha kulelo eligcinwe ngabaphristi abangamaLevi.+

19 “Kumele ihlale ilawo njalo iwubale kuzo zonke insuku zokuphila kwayo,+ ukuze ifunde ukumesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu futhi igcine wonke amazwi oMthetho lo kanye lemilayo le ngokuyilandela.+

25 Khathesi-ke Jehova Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngicela usigcine isithembiso owasenza encekwini yakho uDavida ubaba usithi: ‘Nxa amadodana akho angananzelela indlela aphila ngayo, athembeke futhi ahambe ezindleleni zami njengawe, akusoze kuswelakale umuntu wosendo lwakho ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sako-Israyeli.’+

9 “Solomoni ndodana yami, mazi uNkulunkulu kayihlo njalo umkhonze ngenhliziyo yonke*+ uthokoza,* ngoba uJehova uyazihlola zonke inhliziyo+ azwisise imicabango lenhloso zomuntu.+ Nxa ungamdinga uzamthola,*+ kodwa nxa ungamtshiya uzakulahla kokuphela.+
