39 Ke mna ndibuthathaka namhlanje nangona ndithanjiswe+ njengokumkani, yaye la madoda, oonyana bakaTseruya,+ aqatha kakhulu kum.+ Ngamana uYehova angambuyekeza umenzi wobubi ngokobubi bakhe.”+

16 Kwaye uYowabhi+ unyana kaTseruya wayephethe umkhosi; uYehoshafati+ unyana ka-Ahiludi wayegcina ingxelo.

10 Ke yena uAmasa, wayengalilumkelanga ikrele elalisesandleni sikaYowabhi; ngokokuze amhlabe+ ngalo esiswini, aza amathumbu akhe aphalala emhlabeni, yaye akuzange kufuneke nokuba enze kwakhona kuye. Waba ke uyafa. Waza uYowabhi noAbhishayi umntakwabo basukela uShebha unyana kaBhikeri.

6 Ngoko uDavide wathi: “Nabani na oxabela+ amaYebhusi kuqala, uya kuba yintloko nenkosana.” UYowabhi+ unyana kaTseruya wenyuka kuqala, waza waba yintloko.
