(1 Tuʻi 3:​16-28; 2 Kalonikali 9:8) Ko e taha ʻo hono ngaahi fale fakapuleʻangá ko e “Falehala Taloni, ke ne fakamāu ai,” naʻe toe ui ia ko e “Falehala Fakamāuʻanga.” (1 Tuʻi 7:7) Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻa Selusalema ko e feituʻu ia “naʻe tuʻu ʻani taloni fakamāu ʻi he potu ko ia.” (Sāme 122:5) ʻOku mahino lelei, ko e ‘nofo ʻi ha taloni’ ʻoku lava ke toe ʻuhinga ko hono ngāueʻaki ʻo e mafai fakaefakamaaú.​—ʻEkisoto 18:13; Palōvepi 20:8.

(Tāniela 7:​13, 14) Pea ʻoku tau lau “ke hoko mai ʻa Talumeimuʻa, ʻo fakaai ʻa e fakamaau ʻo e meʻa ʻa e kau tapu,” ko kinautolu naʻe fakamāuʻi ʻoku nau feʻunga ke pule mo e Foha ʻo e tangatá.

Naʻe muʻaki hiva ʻa Tēvita: “He kuo ke [Sihova] taukapoʻi hoku fakamāuʻi mo ʻeku totonu; kuo ke nofo ʻi he taloni ko e Fakamāu Faitotonu.” (Sāme 9:​4, 7) Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Sioeli: “Ke ofo hake ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻo ʻalu hake ki he Teleʻa ʻo Sihosafate: he ko e potu ia te u [Sihova] nofo ai ke fakamāu ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga takatakai.” (Sioeli 3:12; fakafehoanaki mo ʻAisea 16:5.) Ko Sīsū mo Paula fakatouʻosi naʻá na ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga fakaefakamaau, ʻa ia naʻe nofo ai ha tangata ke fanongo ki ha hopo mo fakahoko ʻa e fakamaaú.b​—Sione 19:​12-16; Ngāue 23:3; 25:6.

(2 Sāmiuela 7:​12-16) Te ne pule mei hēvani, he naʻe pehē ʻe Tēvita: “Folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki [Sīsū], ‘Nofo koe ʻi hoku toʻomataʻu ni, kaeʻoua ke u ʻai ho fili fuape ke hoko ko ho tuʻunga-vaʻe.’ ʻE mafao atu ʻe Sihova mei Saione ʻa e sēpita ʻo ho hau, heʻene pehe, ‘ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo ho ngaahi fili, pule pe koe.’”​—Sāme 110:​1-4.
