5 UJehova wabonakala kuSolomoni ephutsheni ngesikhathi eseGibhiyoni wathi kuye: “Cela loba yini ofuna ngikunike yona.”+ 6 USolomoni wasesithi: “Ubulothando oluqotho futhi olukhulu kubaba uDavida inceku yakho. Wahamba phambi kwakho ethembekile, elungile futhi elenhliziyo eqotho. Ubulokhu ulothando oluqotho kuye kwaze kwaba lamuhla njengoba umnike indodana ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi.+ 7 Khathesi Jehova Nkulunkulu wami ungibeke ngaba yinkosi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikababa uDavida lanxa nje ngisesemncane futhi ngingelalwazi.+ 8 Inceku yakho iphakathi kwabantu obakhethileyo+ abanengi kakhulu okokuthi ngeke babalwe. 9 Ngakho nika inceku yakho inhliziyo elalelayo ukuze yahlulele abantu bakho+ futhi yehlukanise phakathi kokuhle lokubi.+ Kambe ngubani ongenelisa ukwahlulela abantu bakho abanengi kangaka?”*
