11 Khawuncede ke, usithabathe isipho sam sentsikelelo esiziswe kuwe,+ ngenxa yokuba uThixo ukholisiwe ndim nangenxa yokuba ndinento yonke.”+ Yaye waqhubeka embongoza, wada wasithabatha.+

18 Kwaoko uAbhigali+ wangxama waza wathabatha amakhulu amabini ezonka neengqayi ezinkulu zewayini+ zambini nezimvu ezintlanu ezilungisiweyo+ nemilinganiselo emihlanu yeseha yeenkozo ezigcadiweyo+ nekhulu lezicumba zeerasintyisi+ namakhulu amabini ezicumba zamakhiwane+ waza wazibeka emaesileni.

26 Xa uDavide wafikayo eTsikelage wathumela inxalenye yexhoba kumadoda amakhulu akwaYuda, abahlobo bakhe,+ esithi: “Nasi isipho+ senu esiyintsikelelo esivela kwixhoba leentshaba zikaYehova.”

15 Wandula ke wabuyela kumntu kaTHIXO oyinyaniso,+ yena nalo lonke iqela lakhe, weza wama phambi kwakhe waza wathi: “Yabona, ndiyazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba akukho Thixo naphi na emhlabeni ngaphandle kwakwaSirayeli.+ Ke kaloku, nceda, yamkela isipho esiyintsikelelo+ esivela kumkhonzi wakho.”

16 Isipho somntu simvulela indawo enkulu,+ size simkhokele ebusweni babantu abakhulu.+

21 Ukuba okuthiyayo ulambile, mnike isonka adle; yaye ukuba unxaniwe, mnike amanzi asele.+

22 Kuba ufumba amalahle phezu kwentloko yakhe,+ yaye uYehova uya kukuvuza.+
