1 Kwathi emva kokufa+ kukaYoshuwa oonyana bakaSirayeli babuza+ kuYehova, besithi: “Ngubani na kuthi oya kunyuka kuqala aye kumaKanan ukuze alwe nawo?”

14 NoDavide ke ngokuqhubekayo wayesenza ngokunengqiqo+ kuzo zonke iindlela zakhe, kwaye uYehova wayenaye.+

6 Kuba ngolwalathiso lwakho lobuchule uya kulwa imfazwe yakho,+ yaye ebuninzini babacebisi kukho usindiso.+

31 Okanye nguwuphi na ukumkani, othi ematsha ukuya kuhlangana nomnye ukumkani emfazweni, angathi kuqala ahlale phantsi, acebe enoba unako na ngabaphumi-mkhosi abalishumi lamawaka ukumelana nalowo uza nxamnye naye enamashumi amabini amawaka?+
