28 Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, uDavida nakezwa ngalokho, wathi: “Mina nombuswami simsulwa isiphelani phambi kwakaJehova emlandwini weengazi+ omalungana no-Abineri indodana kaNeri. 29 Kwanga ungabuyela ehloko kaJowabi+ nakiyo yoke indlu kayise. Kwanga endlini kaJowabi kungahlala kunomuntu onokugula kwezitho zangaphasi+ namkha onobulepheru+ namkha indoda ephotha intambo* namkha umuntu obulawa ngesabula namkha onganakudla!”+

21 Kwaba nendlala+ emihleni kaDavida iminyaka emithathu ilandelana, yeke uDavida wabuza uJehova, uJehova wathi: “USawula nendlwakhe banomlandu weengazi ngombana wabulala amaGibiyoni.”+
