8 Ngoko uSawule wazenza mntu wumbi,+ wambatha ezinye izambatho waza wahamba, yena namadoda amabini kunye naye; bafika kuloo mfazi ngobusuku.+ Ke kaloku wathi: “Sebenzisa ukuvumisa,+ khawundincede, ngeshologu uze undinyusele lowo ndiya kumtyumba kuwe.”

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.+

30 Ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wathi kuYehoshafati: “Ndiza kuzenza mntu wumbi ndingene edabini,+ kodwa wena yambatha izambatho zakho.”+ Ngako oko, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wazenza mntu wumbi+ waza wangena edabini.+
