39 Kwathi uDavida nakezwa bona uNabhali uhlongakele, wathi: “Akadunyiswe uJehova, ojamele indabami+ yokunyefulwa nguNabhali+ nobambe isisebenzi sakhe bona singenzi litho elimbi,+ uJehova ubuyisele ubumbi bakaNabhali phezu kwehlokwakhe!” Ngemva kwalokho, uDavida wathumela ilizwi lokusoma u-Abigeyili ukuthi abe mkakhe.

42 Nje-ke u-Abigeyili+ wasikima msinyana wakhwela udumbanakhe, iinsebenzi zakhe ezisikazi ezihlanu bezikhamba ngemva kwakhe; wakhamba neenthunywa zakaDavida begodu waba mkakhe.
