2 Wasuka lawo wonke amabutho la baya eBhahale-juda besiyathatha ibhokisi likaNkulunkulu weqiniso,+ lelo abantu abathandaza phambi kwalo bebiza uJehova wamabutho+ ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi phezu* kwamakherubhi.+

6 UDavida labo bonke abako-Israyeli baya eBhahala,+ eKhiriyathi-jeyarimi yakoJuda, besiyathatha ibhokisi likaNkulunkulu weqiniso ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi phezu* kwamakherubhi.+ Abantu babiza ibizo likaJehova bephambi kwebhokisi lelo.
