3 Igama lale ndoda yayinguNabhali,+ igama lomfazi wayo linguAbhigali.+ Kwaye umfazi lo wayeqiqa+ yaye eyinzwakazi, kodwa indoda yakhe yayingqwabalala noqheliselo lwayo lulubi;+ yona ke yayingumKalebhi.+

2 Ngako oko uYowabhi wathumela eTekowa,+ wathabatha apho umfazi osisilumko+ waza wathi kuye: “Nceda, ukhe uzile, uze wambathe, nceda, izambatho zokuzila, ungazithambisi ngeoli;+ yaye umele ube njengomfazi lo ubezilele uthile ofileyo kangangemihla emininzi.+
