16 Kwathi uDavida nakaphakamisa amehlwakhe, wabona ingilozi kaJehova ijame phakathi kwezulu nephasi, iphethe isabula+ ngesandla sayo esilulekele eJerusalema. UDavida nabadala, bazigubuzese ngemigodla,+ msinyana baziphosa phasi bebahloma iinhloko phasi.+ 17 UDavida wathi kuZimu weqiniso: “Akusingimi na owathi kubalwe abantu? Ngimi owonileko, ngimi owenze okumbi+ kodwana izimvezi zenzeni? Maye! Jehova Zimami, ngibawa isandla sakho sibethe mina nendlu kababa kodwana ungalethi isibethwesi ebantwini bakho.”+
