11 Naku lokushiwo nguJehova: ‘Mine ngiletsa inhlekelele futsi itawuvela endlini yakho;+ utatibonela ngewakho, ngitawutsatsa bafati bakho ngibanike lenye indvodza*+ futsi itawulala nebafati bakho emini libalele.*+

14 Davide wavele watjela tonkhe tinceku takhe lebekanato eJerusalema watsi: “Sukumani sibaleke+ ngobe kute kitsi lotawukhona kuphunyuka ku-Absalomu! Sheshisani ngobe kungenteka asikhandze bese uletsa inhlekelele kitsi entiwa kwesaba futsi ahlasele lonkhe lelidolobha ngenkemba!”+

12 Nakanjani sitamtfola futsi sitabatuma sibahlasele ngelibutfo lelikhulu kuhle kwematolo nakehlela emhlabatsini. Yena nebantfu bakhe ngeke basindze.
