16 Ngoko uDavide wathi kwiintloko zabaLevi mazimise abazalwana bazo abaziimvumi+ nezixhobo zeengoma,+ imirhubhe+ neehadi+ namacangci,+ bazidlale ngokuvakalayo ukuze zenze isandi semihlali.

4 Wandula wabeka phambi kwetyeya kaYehova abathile kubaLevi+ njengabalungiseleli,+ ukuba bakhumbule+ yaye babulele,+ badumise+ uYehova uTHIXO kaSirayeli,

3 Babalwa ke abaLevi kwathatyathelwa kwabaminyaka ingamashumi amathathu ubudala ukusa phezulu;+ intloko nganye, indoda eyomeleleyo ngendoda eyomeleleyo, yaye inani labo laba ngamashumi amathathu anesibhozo amawaka.

25 Ngokubhekele phaya uDavide neentloko+ zamaqela abakhonzi+ bahlulela inkonzo abanye boonyana baka-Asafu, uHeman+ noYedutun+ ababeprofeta ngeehadi,+ ngemirhubhe+ nangamacangci.+ Yaye kwinani lawo kwavela amadoda asemthethweni okuphumeza inkonzo.

25 Ngelo xesha, wabamisa abaLevi+ endlwini kaYehova, namacangci,+ nemirhubhe+ neehadi,+ ngokomyalelo kaDavide+ noGadi+ iimboni noNatan+ umprofeti, kuba kwakungesandla sikaYehova ukuba umyalelo unikezelwe ngabaprofeti.+

10 Xa abakhi babeka isiseko+ setempile kaYehova, ababingeleli bekwizinxibo zasemthethweni,+ benamaxilongo,+ nabaLevi oonyana baka-Asafu,+ benamacangci,+ bema ukuze badumise uYehova ngokolwalathiso+ lukaDavide ukumkani wakwaSirayeli.
