5 NakaseGibiyoni uJehova wabonakala kuSolomoni ngebhudango ebusuku, wathi: “Bawa nanyana yini ofuna ngikuphe yona.”+ 6 USolomoni waphendula wathi: “Uyithande khulu* incekwakho uDavida ubaba njengombana ikhambe phambi kwakho ngokuthembeka, ngokulunga nangehliziyo emsulwa. Uragele phambili wayithanda khulu* bekube kunamhlanjesi ngokuyinikela indodana ezokuhlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi.+ 7 Nje-ke Jehova Zimami, wenze incekwakho yaba yikosi esikhundleni sakababa uDavida, ngitjho nanyana ngisesemutjha,* nginganalemuko.+ 8 Incekwakho iphakathi kwabantu obakhethileko,+ abantu abanengi kangangobana akukghoneki nokubabala. 9 Nje-ke ngibawa unikele incekwakho ihliziyo elalelako bona yahlulele abantu bakho,+ ikghone ukuhlukanisa okuhle nokumbi,+ ngombana ngubani ongakghona ukwahlulela abantu bakho abanengi kangaka?”*
