25 Wanyula ke uMoses amadoda afanelekileyo kuSirayeli ephela waza wawanika izikhundla zokuba ziintloko phezu kwabantu,+ aba ziintloko zamawaka, iintloko zamakhulu, iintloko zamashumi ngamahlanu neentloko zamashumi.

16 Ngenxa yoko amadoda amakhulu endibano athi: “Siya kwenza ntoni na ngamadoda aseleyo ngokuphathelele abafazi, kuba abafazi babhujisiwe kwaBhenjamin?”

3 Xa abantu bafikayo enkampini amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli athi: “Kutheni ukuze uYehova asoyise namhlanje phambi kwamaFilisti?+ Masiyithabathele kuthi ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova eseShilo,+ ukuze ibe phakathi kwethu ize ibe nokusisindisa entendeni yeentshaba zethu.”

3 Ngoko onke amadoda amakhulu+ akwaSirayeli eza kukumkani eHebron, waza uKumkani uDavide wenza umnqophiso+ kunye nawo eHebron phambi koYehova; emva koko amthambisa+ uDavide njengokumkani phezu koSirayeli.+

7 Ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wabiza amadoda amakhulu elizwe+ wathi: “Khanincede, niphawule, nize nibone ukuba lo ufuna intlekele;+ kuba uthumele kum efuna abafazi bam noonyana bam nesilivere yam negolide yam, yaye andalanga nabo kuye.”
