23 Ke yena uAhitofele, wabona ukuba kwakungenziwanga ngecebo lakhe,+ yaye wafaka isali e-esileni, wesuka ke waza waya endlwini yakhe kwisixeko sakowabo.+ Wandula ke wanikela imiyalelo kwindlu yakhe+ waza wazikrwitsha+ waba ngaloo ndlela uyafa.+ Ngoko wangcwatyelwa+ kwindawo yokungcwaba yookhokho bakhe.

18 (Lo mntu, ke ngoko, wathenga+ intsimi ngomvuzo wentswela-bulungisa,+ yaye wakhahleleka phantsi ngentloko+ wagqabhuka ngesandi esikhulu ngaphakathi aza onke amathumbu akhe aphalala.
