12 UJehova wabonakala kuSolomoni+ ebusuku wathi kuye: “Ngiwuzwile umthandazo wakho futhi indlu le sengiyikhethile ukuthi ibe yindawo okuzanikelwa kuyo imihlatshelo+ yami. 13 Nxa ngingavala amazulu, ngenze ukuthi kungabi lezulu, kumbe nxa ngingathumela intethe ukuthi zitshabalalise ilizwe, kumbe ngithumele isifo ebantwini bami, 14 abantu bami ababizwa+ ngebizo lami besebezithoba+ bathandaze becela ukuthi ngibe lomusa kubo futhi batshiye izenzo zabo ezimbi,+ lapho-ke ngizabezwa ngisezulwini ngibathethelele izono zabo njalo ngivuselele ilizwe labo.+
