21 U-Ahithofeli wathi ku-Abhisalomu: “Lala labafazi bakayihlo beceleni,+ labo abatshiye bekhangele umuzi wakhe.*+ Bonke abantu bazathi bekuzwa lokhu bakwazi ukuthi uyihlo usekuzonda kakhulu futhi bonke abakusekelayo bazaqina.” 22 Ngakho bafakela u-Abhisalomu itende ephahleni,+ u-Abhisalomu waselala labafazi bakayise beceleni+ phambi kwabo bonke abantu bako-Israyeli.+
