9 kodwa ufanele umbulale afe.+ Kufanele kufike esakho isandla kuye kuqala ukuba simbulale, kwandule ukufika esabantu bonke isandla emva koko.+

16 Xa wonke uSirayeli wabona ukuba ukumkani wayengamphulaphulanga, bandula ke abantu bamphendula ukumkani, besithi: “Sinasabelo sini na kuDavide?+ Yaye akukho lifa kunyana kaYese. Koothixo bakho,+ Sirayeli. Ngoko zibonele indlu yakho, Davide!”+ Ke uSirayeli waya ezintenteni zakhe.

16 Ke yena wonke uSirayeli, ngenxa yokuba ukumkani engazange amphulaphule, abantu bamphendula ukumkani, besithi: “Sinasabelo sini na kuDavide?+ Yaye akukho lifa kunyana kaYese.+ Ngamnye makaye koothixo bakhe,+ Sirayeli! Ngoko zibonele indlu yakho, Davide.”+ Ke wonke uSirayeli waya ezintenteni zakhe.
