10AmaFilisti asesilwa emelene loIsrayeli; lamadoda akoIsrayeli abaleka phambi kwamaFilisti, awa abulawa entabeni yeGilibowaa.

2 AmaFilisti asenamathela ngemva kukaSawuli langemva kwamadodana akhe; amaFilisti atshaya uJonathani loAbinadaba loMaliki-Shuwa, amadodana kaSawuli.

3 Impi yasisiba nzima imelene loSawuli; abatshoka ngamadandili basebemfica; waselinyazwa ngabatshoki.

4 USawuli wasesithi kumthwali wezikhali zakhe: Hwatsha inkemba yakho, ungigwaze ngayo, hlezi laba abangasokanga bafike, badlale kubi ngami. Kodwa umthwali wezikhali zakhe kavumanga, ngoba wesaba kakhulu. USawuli wasethatha inkemba, waziwisela phezu kwayo.

5 Lapho umthwali wezikhali zakhe ebona ukuthi uSawuli usefile, laye waziwisela phezu kwenkemba, wafa.

6 Wafa-ke uSawuli, lamadodana akhe amathathu, lendlu yakhe yonke; bafa ndawonyeb.

7 Kwathi wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli ayesesigodini ebona ukuthi abalekile, lokuthi uSawuli lamadodana akhe bafile, atshiya imizi yawo, abaleka; amaFilisti asefika, ahlala kiyoc.

8 Kwasekusithi kusisa lapho amaFilisti efika ukuhlubula ababuleweyo, afica uSawuli lamadodana akhe bewile entabeni yeGilibowa.

9 Amhlubula, athatha ikhanda lakhe lezikhali zakhe, athumela elizweni lamaFilisti inhlangothi zonke, ukumemezela imibiko ezithombeni zawo lebantwinid.

10 Asebeka izikhali zakhe endlini yabonkulunkulu bawo, abethela ukhakhayi lwakhe endlini kaDagonie.

12 wonke amaqhawe asuka, athatha isidumbu sikaSawuli lezidumbu zamadodana akhe, aziletha eJabeshi, angcwaba amathambo abo ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi* eJabeshi, azila ukudla insuku eziyisikhombisaf.

13 Ngakho uSawuli wafa ngenxa yesiphambeko sakhe aphambuka ngaso emelene leNkosi, emelene lelizwi leNkosi ayengaligcinangag, njalo langokubuza koledlozi ukudinga kuyeh,

14 njalo kakudinganga eNkosinii. Ngakho yambulala, yaguqulela umbuso kuDavida indodana kaJesej.

11UIsrayeli wonke wasebuthana kuDavida eHebroni esithi: Khangela, thina silithambo lakho lenyama yakhoa.

2 Ngitsho mandulo, ngitsho uSawuli eyinkosi, nguwe owakhupha lowangenisa uIsrayeli; iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yasisithi kuwe: Wena uzakwelusa abantu bami uIsrayeli, njalo wena uzakuba ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.

3 Kwasekufika bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli enkosini eHebroni. UDavida wasesenza isivumelwano labo eHebroni phambi kweNkosi. Basebemgcoba uDavida ukuba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, njengelizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaSamuwelib.

4 UDavida loIsrayeli wonke basebesiya eJerusalema, eyiJebusi, ngoba lapho kwakulamaJebusi, abahlali balelolizwe.

5 Abahlali beJebusi basebesithi kuDavida: Kawuyikungena lapha. Kodwa uDavida wayithumba inqaba yeZiyoni, engumuzi kaDavidac.

6 UDavida wasesithi: Loba ngubani ozatshaya amaJebusi kuqala uzakuba yinhloko lendunad. Ngakho uJowabi indodana kaZeruya wenyuka kuqala, waba yinhloko.

8 Wasewakha umuzi inhlangothi zonke, kusukela eMilo waze wawuhlanganisa. UJowabi wasevuselela okuseleyo komuzi.

10 Lalezi zinhloko zamaqhawe uDavida ayelazo, ezaziqinisa kanye laye embusweni wakhe, loIsrayeli wonke, ukumenza inkosie, njengelizwi leNkosi mayelana loIsrayelif.

11 Laleli linani lamaqhawe uDavida ayelawo: UJashobeyamu indodana yomHakimonig inhloko yamatshumi amathathu; yena waphakamisa umkhonto wakhe emelene labangamakhulu amathathu, wababulala ngasikhathi sinyeh.

12 Lemva kwakhe kwakuloEleyazare indodana kaDodo umAhohi; wayephakathi kwamaqhawe amathathu.

13 Yena wayeloDavida ePasi-Damimi lapho amaFilisti ayebuthanele impi khona. Lesiqinti sensimu sasigcwele ibhali*; abantu basebebaleka phambi kwamaFilistii.

14 Bona bazimisa phakathi kwesiqinti, basikhulula, batshaya amaFilisti, iNkosi yasisindisa ngokukhulula okukhuluj.

15 Abathathu ezinduneni ezingamatshumi amathathu basebesehlela edwaleni kuDavida, ebhalwini lweAdulamu; lebutho lamaFilisti lalimise inkamba esihotsheni seRefayimik.

16 UDavida ngalesosikhathi wayesenqabeni, lebutho lenqaba lamaFilisti ngalesosikhathi laliseBhethelehemal.

17 UDavida waselangatha wathi: Hawu, kungathi1 omunye ubenganginathisa amanzi omthombo weBhethelehema osesangweni!

18 Labo abathathu bafohlela enkambeni yamaFilisti, bakha amanzi emthonjeni weBhethelehema owawusesangweni, bawathwala bawaletha kuDavida; kodwa uDavida kafunanga ukuwanatha, kodwa wawathululela iNkosi.

19 Wasesithi: Kakube khatshana lami, ngoNkulunkulu wami, ukwenza lokho. Nginganatha yini igazi lalamadoda abeke impilo yawo engozini? Ngoba ngokubeka impilo yawo engozini, awalethile. Ngakho kafunanga ukuwanatha. Lezizinto azenza lawomaqhawe amathathu.

20 UAbishayi umfowabo kaJowabi, yena-ke wayeyinhloko yabathathu. Yena ephakamisa umkhonto wakhe emelene labangamakhulu amathathu wababulala; wasesiba lebizo phakathi kwabathathum.

21 Kwabathathu wayehlonitshwa kulababili, wasesiba yinduna yabo; kodwa kafinyelelanga kwabathathu abokuqala.

22 UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, indodana yeqhawe leKabhiseyeli, wayemkhulu ngezenzo: Nguye owatshaya abakoMowabi ababili ababenjengezilwane; futhi yena wehla wabulala isilwane phakathi komgodi mhla weliqhwa elikhithikileyo.

23 Yena wasetshaya indoda engumGibhithe, umuntu omude, ozingalo ezinhlanu. Lesandleni somGibhithe kwakulomkhonto onjengogodo lomeluki; kodwa wehlela kuye ngenduku, wahluthuna umkhonto esandleni somGibhithe, wambulala ngowakhe umkhonton.

24 Lezizinto wazenza uBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, waba lebizo phakathi kwamaqhawe amathathuo.

25 Khangela, wahlonitshwa phakathi kwabangamatshumi amathathu, kodwa kafinyelelanga kwabathathu. UDavida wasembeka phezu kwabalindi bakhep.

26 Lamaqhawe amabutho: OAsaheli umfowabo kaJowabi, uElihanani indodana kaDodo weBhethelehemaq,

31 uIthayi indodana kaRibayi weGibeya yabantwana bakoBhenjamini, uBhenaya umPirathoni,

12Laba-ke yilabo abeza kuDavida eZikilagi, lapho esavalelwe ngenxa kaSawuli indodana kaKishi; njalo babephakathi kwamaqhawe, abasizi bempia.

2 Behlomile ngamadandilib, besebenzisa isandla sokunene lesokhohlo ngamatshe, langemitshoko ngedandili; babengababafowabo bakaSawuli koBhenjaminic.

3 Inhloko yayinguAhiyezeri, loJowashi, amadodana kaShemaha umGibeyad; loJeziyeli loPeleti amadodana kaAzimavethi, loBeraka, loJehu umAnathothie,

4 loIshmaya umGibeyonif, iqhawe phakathi kwabangamatshumi amathathu njalo ephezu kwabangamatshumi amathathu; loJeremiya, loJahaziyeli, loJohanani, loJozabadi umGederag,

8 LakwabakoGadi bazehlukanisela kuDavida enqabeni enkangala, amaqhawe alamandla, amadoda ebutho empi, ephatha isihlangu esikhulu lomkhonto, obuso bawo babuyibuso bezilwanej, enjengemiziki ezintabeni ngesiqubuk.

14 Laba babengabamadodana akoGadi, izinhloko zebutho; omunye wabancinyane wayephethe ikhulu, lomkhulu wayephethe inkulungwane.

15 Laba yibo abachapha iJodani ngenyanga yokuqala lapho yayigcwele iphuphuma inkumbi zonke zayo, baxotsha bonke ababesezigodini ngempumalanga langentshonalangal.

17 UDavida wasephuma ukubahlangabeza, waphendula wathi kibo: Uba lisiza kimi ngokuthula ukungisiza, ngilenhliziyo ehlangene lanim; kodwa uba kuyikunginikela ngenkohliso ezitheni zami, kungelabubi ezandleni zami, uNkulunkulu wabobaba kakubone, ajezisen.

18 UMoya wasesehlela kuAmasayi inhloko yezindunao, wasesithi: Singabakho, Davida, silawe, ndodana kaJese! Ukuthula, ukuthula kube kuwe, lokuthula kube kubasizi bakho, ngoba uNkulunkulu wakho uyakusizap! UDavida wasebemukela, wabenza induna zeviyo.

19 Abavela koManase bahlamukela kuDavida ekufikeni kwakhe lamaFilisti emelene loSawuli empini. Kodwa kababasizanga, ngoba ababusi bamaFilisti bamxotsha ngecebo besithi: Ngamakhanda ethu uzahlamukela enkosini yakhe uSawuliq.

20 Ekuyeni kwakhe eZikilagi kwabalekela kuye abavela koManase: OAdina loJozabadi loJediyayeli loMikhayeli loJozabadi loElihu loZilethayi, inhloko zezinkulungwane ababengabakoManase.

21 Bona basebesiza kanye loDavida bemelene leviyo elihlaselayo, ngoba bonke babengamaqhawe alamandla, bezinduna ebuthwenir.

22 Ngoba ngesikhathi insuku ngensuku beza kuDavida ukumnceda baze babe libutho elikhulu njengebutho likaNkulunkulus.

23 Lala ngamanani ezinhloko ezazihlomele impit; zeza kuDavida eHebroniu ukuphendulela umbuso kaSawuli kuyev, ngokomlomo weNkosiw.

24 Abantwana bakoJuda bethwele isihlangu esikhulu lomkhonto babeyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha lamakhulu ayisificaminwembili, behlomele impix.

25 Ebantwaneni bakoSimeyoni, amaqhawe alamandla empi, izinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lekhulu.

27 LoJehoyada wayeyisiphathamandla sabakoAroni; kanye laye kwakulezinkulungwane ezintathu lamakhulu ayisikhombisa.

28 LoZadoki ijaha, iqhawe elilamandla; lendlini kayise izinduna ezingamatshumi amabiliz.

30 Lebantwaneni bakoEfrayimi, izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lamakhulu ayisificaminwembili, amaqhawe alamandla, amadoda alamabizo endlini yaboyiseb.

31 Lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase, izinkulungwane ezilitshumi leyisificaminwembili, ababeqanjwe ngamabizo ukuthi beze babeke uDavida abe yinkosic.

32 Lebantwaneni bakoIsakari, ababelokwazi beqedisisa izikhathi ukwazi ukuthi uIsrayeli ufanele enzeni, izinhloko zabo zazingamakhulu amabili, labafowabo bonke babesemlayweni wazod.

33 KoZebuluni, abaphuma impi, behlela impi ngazo zonke izikhali zempi, izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu, ukugcina iviyo kungengenhliziyombilie.

38 Wonke lamadoda empi, angagcina iviyo, afika eHebroni ngenhliziyo epheleleyo ukubeka uDavida abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke; njalo loIsrayeli wonke oseleyo wayenhliziyonye ukubeka uDavida abe yinkosii.

39 Njalo baba lapho loDavida insuku ezintathu besidla benatha, ngoba abafowabo babebalungisele.

40 Futhi lababeseduze labo kuze kube koIsakari lakoZebuluni lakoNafithali baletha isinkwa ngabobabhemi langamakamela langezimbongolo langezinkabij, ukudla, impuphu, izinkwa zomkhiwak, lamahlukuzo ezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo, lewayini, lamafutha, lezinkabi, lezimvu, ngobunengi, ngoba kwakulentokozo koIsrayelil.

13UDavida wasecebisana lezinduna zezinkulungwane lezamakhulu laye wonke umphathi.

2 UDavida wasesithi ebandleni lonke lakoIsrayeli: Uba kulungile kini, njalo kuvela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu, kasisabalale sithumele kubafowethu abaseleyo emazweni wonke akoIsrayeli lakubapristi lamaLevi alabo emizini, emadlelweni, ukuze babuthane kithia.

4 Ibandla lonke laselisithi kwenziwe njalo, ngoba udaba lwalulungile emehlweni abo bonke abantu.

5 UDavida wasebuthanisa uIsrayeli wonkec kusukela eShihori yeGibhithed kuze kube sekungeneni kweHamathie ukuletha umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu usuka eKiriyathi-Jeyarimif.

6 UDavida loIsrayeli wonke basebesenyukelag eBhahalah, eKiriyathi-Jeyarimi eyakoJuda, ukuze benyuse lapho umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu iNkosi, ehlala phakathi kwamakherubhi* phezu kwawo, lapho ibizo elibizwa khonai.

7 Basebewuthwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu ngenqola entsha bewususa endlini kaAbinadaba; njalo oUza loAhiyo babetshayela leyonqola.

8 UDavida loIsrayeli wonke babedlala-ke phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngamandla wonke, langengoma, langamachachoj, langezigubhu zezintambok, langezingungu, langezinsimbi ezincencethayo, langezimpondol.

9 Lapho befika ebaleni lokubhulela likaKidoni, uUza welula isandla sakhe ukubamba umtshokotsho, ngoba inkabi zakhubeka.

10 Ulaka lweNkosi lwaselumvuthela uUza, yamtshaya, ngenxa yokuthi welulela isandla sakhe emtshokotshweni; wasefela khonapho phambi kukaNkulunkulum.

11 UDavida wasethukuthela ngoba iNkosi imfohlele ngokufohla uUza; waseyibiza leyondawo ngokuthi yiPerezi-Uza, kuze kube lamuhla.

12 UDavida wasemesaba uNkulunkulu ngalolosuku, esithi: Ngizawuletha njani kimi umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu?

13 Ngakho uDavida kawulethanga umtshokotsho kuye emzini kaDavida, kodwa wawuphambulela endlini kaObedi-Edoma umGithi.

14 Ngakho umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu wahlala kwabendlu kaObedi-Edoma endlini yakhe inyanga ezintathu. INkosi yasibusisa indlu kaObedi-Edoma lakho konke ayelakhon.

14UHiramu inkosi yeTire wasethuma izithunywa kuDavida, lezigodo zemisedari lababazi bamatshe lababazi bezigodo ukumakhela indlua.

2 UDavida wasesazi ukuthi iNkosi yayimmisile ukuthi abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, ngoba umbuso wakhe wawuphakanyiselwe phezulu ngenxa yabantu bayo uIsrayeli.

3 UDavida wasethatha abanye abafazi eJerusalema; uDavida wasezala amanye amadodana lamadodakazi.

4 Lala ngamabizo abantwana aba labo eJerusalema: OShamuwa, loShobabi, uNathani, loSolomoni,

8 AmaFilisti esezwile ukuthi uDavida ugcotshiwe ukuthi abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke, wonke amaFilisti enyuka ukudinga uDavida; uDavida ekuzwa waphuma ukuyamelana lawoc.

10 UDavida wasebuza kuNkulunkulu esithi: Ngenyukele yini kumaFilisti? Uzawanikela esandleni sami yini? INkosi yasisithi kuye: Yenyuka, ngoba ngizawanikela esandleni sakho.

11 Basebesenyukela eBhali-Perazimi, uDavida wawatshaya lapho; uDavida wasesithi: UNkulunkulu ufohlele ezitheni zami ngesandla sami njengokufohla kwamanzi. Ngenxa yalokhu babiza leyondawo ngokuthi yiBhali-Perazimi.

14 Lapho uDavida ebuza futhi kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wathi kuye: Ungenyukeli ngemva kwawo, agombolozele usuka kiwo, uze kuwo maqondana lezihlahla zebhalisamu.

15 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho usizwa umsindo wokuhamba ezihlokweni zezihlahla zebhalisamu, ubusuphumela empini, ngoba uNkulunkulu uzabe esephume phambi kwakho ukutshaya ibutho lamaFilisti.

16 Ngakho uDavida wenza njengoba uNkulunkulu emlayile; basebetshaya ibutho lamaFilisti kusukela eGibeyoni kwaze kwaba seGezeri.

17 Njalo ibizo likaDavida laphumela kuwo wonke amazwef; iNkosi yasibeka ukwesabeka kwakhe phezu kwazo zonke izizweg.

15Wasezenzela izindlu emzini kaDavida, walungisela umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu indawo, wawumisela ithentea.

2 Ngalesosikhathi uDavida wathi: Kakho ongathwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwamaLevi, ngoba yiwo iNkosi eyawakhethela ukuthwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, lokuyikhonza kuze kube ninininib.

3 UDavida wasebuthanisa uIsrayeli wonke eJerusalemac ukuze benyuse umtshokotsho weNkosi endaweni yawo ayeyilungisele wonad.

5 Kumadodana kaKohathie, uUriyeli induna, labafowabo, ikhulu lamatshumi amabili.

6 Kumadodana kaMerari, uAsaya induna, labafowabo, amakhulu amabili lamatshumi amabilif.

7 Kumadodana kaGerishoni, uJoweli induna, labafowabo, ikhulu lamatshumi amathathug.

9 Kumadodana kaHebronii, uEliyeli induna, labafowabo, amatshumi ayisificaminwembili.

10 Kumadodana kaUziyeli, uAminadaba induna, labafowabo, ikhulu letshumi lambilij.

11 UDavida wasebiza oZadokik loAbhiyatha abapristil, lamaLevi, oUriyeli, uAsaya, loJoweli, uShemaya, loEliyeli, loAminadabam.

12 Wasesithi kubo: Lizinhloko zaboyise bamaLevi; zingcweliseni lina labafowenu ukuze lenyuse umtshokotsho weNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayelin endaweni engiyilungisele wonao.

13 Ngoba lina lalingekho kuqalap, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yafohlela kithi, ngoba singayidinganga ngokwesimisoq.

14 Ngakho abapristi lamaLevi bazingcwelisa ukwenyusa umtshokotsho weNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.

15 Abantwana bamaLevi basebethwala umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, njengokulaya kukaMozisi ngokwelizwi leNkosir, emahlombe abo ngemijabo phezu kwabos.

16 UDavida wasesithi ezinduneni zamaLevi zimise abafowabo, abahlabeleli, lezinto zokuhlabelelat lezigubhu zezintambou lamachacho lezinsimbi ezincencethayo, bazizwakalise, ngokuphakamisa ilizwi ngentokozov.

17 AmaLevi asemisa uHemani indodana kaJoweliw, lakubafowabo uAsafi indodana kaBerekiya, lemadodaneni kaMerari abafowabox uEthani indodana kaKushayay.

18 Njalo kanye labo abafowabo besigaba sesibili: OZekhariya, uBeni, loJahaziyeli, loShemiramothi, loJehiyeli, loUni, uEliyabi, loBhenayaz, loMahaseya, loMathithiya, loElifelehu, loMikineya, loObedi-Edoma, loJeyiyeli, abalindi bamasango.

19 Abahlabeleli oHemani, uAsafi, loEthani bazizwakalisa-ke ngensimbi ezincencethayo zethusia.

20 LoZekhariya loAziyeli loShemiramothi loJehiyeli loUni loEliyabi loMahaseya loBhenaya belezigubhu zezintambob ngeAlamothic.

21 LoMathithiya loElifelehu loMikineya loObedi-Edoma loJeyiyeli loAzaziyad belamachachoe ngeSheminithi ukukhokhelaf.

22 LoKenaniya induna yamaLevi emthwalweni, wafundisa ngokuhlabelela ngoba wayeyingcitshi.

24 LoShebaniya loJoshafati loNethaneli loAmasayi loZekhariya loBhenaya loEliyezeri abapristi bakhalisa izimpondo phambi komtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu. LoObedi-Edoma loJehiya babengabagcinimasango bomtshokotshog.

25 Kwasekusithi uDavida labadala bakoIsrayeli lenduna zezinkulungwane bahamba ukwenyusa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi uvela endlini kaObedi-Edoma ngentokozoh.

26 Kwasekusithi uNkulunkulu ewasiza amaLevi ayewuthwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi, banikela umhlatshelo wamajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisai.

27 Njalo uDavida wayegqoke isembatho selembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, lawo wonke amaLevi ayewuthwele umtshokotsho labahlabeleli loKenaniya induna yomthwalo wabahlabeleli; uDavida-ke wayegqoke i-efodi* yelembu elicolekileyoj.

28 Ngakho uIsrayeli wonke wawenyusa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ngokumemeza langokukhala kophondo lwenqamak, langezimpondol, langezinsimbi ezincencethayom, besenza umsindo ngezigubhu zezintambon lamachachoo.

29 Kwasekusithi lapho umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ufika emzini kaDavida, uMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli walunguza ngewindi wabona inkosi uDavida esina edlala, wamdelela enhliziyweni yakhep.

16Basebewuletha umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, bawumisa phakathi kwethente uDavida ayelimisele wona; basebenikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

2 UDavida eseqedile ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula wababusisa abantu ebizweni leNkosi.

3 Wasesabela wonke umuntu wakoIsrayeli kusukela kowesilisa kuze kube kowesifazana, kwaba ngulowo lalowo isinkwa esisodwa, leqatha lenyama, lesinkwa sezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo.

4 Wasemisa izikhonzi kumaLevi phambi komtshokotsho weNkosi, ngitsho ukukhumbula lokubonga lokudumisa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.

5 UAsafi inhlokoa, lowesibili kuye uZekhariyab, uJeyiyeli, loShemiramothi, loJehiyeli, loMathithiya, loEliyabi, loBhenaya, loObedi-Edoma, loJeyiyeli belezinto zezigubhu zezintamboc njalo lamachachod; uAsafi wasezizwakalisa ngezinsimbi ezincencethayoe;

6 loBhenaya loJahaziyeli abapristi ngezimpondo njalonjalo phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkuluf.

7 Ngalesosikhathi ngalolosuku uDavida wanika kuqala lesisihlabelelo ukudumisa iNkosig ngesandla sikaAsafi labafowaboh:

9 Hlabelelani kuyo, liyihubele amahubo, lilandise ngezenzo zayo ezimangalisayol.

10 Zincomeni ebizweni layo elingcwele, kayithokoze inhliziyo yabo abadinga iNkosi.

12 Khumbulani izimangaliso zayo eyazenzayon, izibonakaliso zayo, lezahlulelo zomlomo wayoo,

15 Khumbulani isivumelwano sayo kuze kube nininini, ilizwi eyalilaya kuzinkulungwane zezizukulwana,

17 eyasiqinisa lakuJakobe saba yisimiso, kuIsrayeli saba yisivumelwano esilaphakade,

20 Basebezula besuka esizweni besiya esizweni, besuka embusweni besiya kwabanye abantu.

23 Hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke, litshumayele insuku ngensuku usindiso lwayoy.

24 Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.

25 Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhuluz, iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonkea.

29 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layof, lethani umnikelo lize phambi kwayo. Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcweleg.

30 Lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke; njalo umhlaba uzaqiniswa, kawuyikunyikinyeka.

31 Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabuleh, kabatsho phakathi kwezizwe ukuthi: INkosi iyabusai.

32 Kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo, iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukuloj.

33 Khona zizahlabelela ngentokozo izihlahla zehlathi phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba.

35 Lithi futhi: Sisindise, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwethu, usibuthe usikhulule ezizweni, ukuze sibonge ibizo lakho elingcwele, sizincome kudumo lwakhol.

36 Kayibusiswe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kusukela phakade kuze kube phakadem.

37 Wasetshiya lapho phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi oAsafi labafowabo ukukhonza phambi komtshokotsho njalonjaloo njengodaba losuku ngosuku lwalop.

38 LoObedi-Edoma kanye labafowabo, abangamatshumi ayisithupha lesificaminwembili; uObedi-Edoma indodana kaJeduthuni loHosa babengabagcini bamasangoq.

39 LoZadoki umpristi labafowabo abapristir phambi kwethabhanekele leNkosi endaweni ephakemeyo eyayiseGibeyonis,

40 ukuze banikele iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini phezu kwelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswat njalonjalo ekuseni lakusihlwa, lanjengakho konke okubhaliweyo emlayweni weNkosi, eyawulaya uIsrayeliu.

41 Njalo kanye labo oHemaniv loJeduthuniw labanye ababekhethiwe abamiswa ngamabizo ukubonga iNkosix, ngoba umusa wayo umi kuze kube phakadey.

42 Njalo kanye labo oHemaniz loJeduthunia babelezimpondo lezinsimbi ezincencethayob zalabo abazizwakalisayo, lezinto zokuhlabelela zikaNkulunkuluc. Lamadodana kaJeduthuni ayesesangwenid.

43 Basebehamba bonke abantu, ngulowo lalowo waya endlini yakhe. UDavida wasebuyela ukubusisa indlu yakhee.

17Kwasekusithi uDavida esehlezi endlini yakhe, uDavida wathi kuNathani umprofethi: Khangela, mina ngihlala endlini yemisedari, kodwa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ungaphansi kwamakhethenia.

2 UNathani wasesithi kuDavida: Yenza konke okusenhliziyweni yakho, ngoba uNkulunkulu ulawe.

3 Kodwa kwathi ngabona lobobusuku ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuNathani, lisithi:

4 Hamba utshele uDavida inceku yami: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Wena kawuyikungakhela indlu yokuhlala.

5 Ngoba kangihlalanga endlini kusukela osukwini engenyusa ngalo uIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla, kodwa ngasuka ethenteni ngaya ethenteni njalo ngasuka ethabhanekeleni ngaya kwelinye.

6 Loba ngaphi engihambe khona loIsrayeli wonke ngake ngakhuluma ilizwi yini komunye wabahluleli bakoIsrayeli, engabalaya ukwelusa abantu bami ngisithi: Yini lingangakhelanga indlu yemisedarib?

7 Ngakho-ke uzakutsho njalo encekwini yami uDavida uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Mina ngakuthatha esibayeni sezimvu ekulandeleni izimvu ukuze ube ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.

8 Njalo ngaba lawe loba ngaphi oya khona, ngaquma zonke izitha zakho zasuka phambi kwakho, ngakwenzela ibizo njengebizo labakhulu abasemhlabeni.

9 Njalo ngizabamisela indawo abantu bami uIsrayeli, ngibagxumeke ukuze bahlale endaweni yabo, bangabe besanyikinywa; labantwana bobubi kabasayikubamotsha njengakuqalac,

10 njalo kusukela kulezonsuku engalaya abahluleli ukuthi babe phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli; ngazehlisela phansi zonke izitha zakho; njalo ngiyakutshela ukuthi iNKOSI izakwakhela indlu.

11 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho insuku zakho sezigcwalisekile ukuthi uhambe laboyihlo, ngizavusa inzalo yakho emva kwakho, ezavela emadodaneni akho, ngiqinise umbuso wayo.

12 Yena uzangakhela indlu, ngizaqinisa isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi kuze kube nininini.

13 Mina ngizakuba nguyise, yena abe yindodana yami; njalo kangiyikususa uthandolomusa wami kuyed njengalokho ngalususa kulowo owayengaphambi kwakhoe.

14 Kodwa ngizamqinisa endlini yami lembusweni wami kuze kube nininini, lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sizaqiniswa kuze kube nininini.

15 Njengawo wonke lamazwi lanjengawo wonke lumbono, ngokunjalo uNathani wakhuluma kuDavida.

16 Inkosi uDavida yasingena yahlala phambi kweNkosi, yathi: Mina ngingubani, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, lendlu yami iyini, ukuthi ungilethe kuze kube lapha?

17 Lokhu bekukuncinyane emehlweni akho, Nkulunkuluf; usukhulumile ngendlu yenceku yakho kusesekhatshanag, wangibonah ngokwesikhundla somuntu ophakemeyo, Nkosi Nkulunkului.

18 UDavida angenzani okunye kuwe ngodumo lwenceku yakho? Ngoba wena uyayazi inceku yakho.

19 Nkosi, ngenxa yenceku yakho langokwenhliziyo yakho wenzile zonke lezizinto ezinkulu ukwazisa zonke lezizinto ezinkuluj.

20 Nkosi, kakho onjengawe, njalo kakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho, njengakho konke esikuzwileyo ngendlebe zethu.

21 Njalo ngubani onjengabantu bakho uIsrayeli, isizwe esisodwa emhlabeni, uNkulunkulu owayazihlengela sona sibe ngabantu, ukuzenzela ibizo ngezenzo ezinkulu lezesabekayo, ngokuxotsha elifeni izizwe ukuzisusa phambi kwabantu bakho owabahlenga eGibhithe?

22 Ngoba wenza abantu bakho uIsrayeli ukuthi babe ngabantu bakho kuze kube nininini; lawe Nkosi waba nguNkulunkulu wabo.

23 Khathesi-ke, Nkosi, ilizwi owalikhuluma ngenceku yakho langendlu yayo kaliqiniswe kuze kube nininini, wenze njengokukhuluma kwakho.

24 Yebo kaliqiniswe, lebizo lakho kalibe likhulu kuze kube nininini, kuthiwa: INkosi yamabandla inguNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, nguNkulunkulu koIsrayeli; lendlu kaDavida inceku yakho kayimiswe phambi kwakho.

25 Ngoba wena, Nkulunkulu wami, wembule endlebeni yenceku yakho ukuthi uzayakhela indlu; ngenxa yalokho inceku yakho ithole enhliziyweni ukukhuleka phambi kwakhok.

26 Khathesi-ke, Nkosi, wena unguye uNkulunkulu, ukhulume lokhu okuhle ngenceku yakho.

27 Khathesi-ke, kukuthokozisile ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuze ibe phambi kwakho kuze kube nininini; ngoba, wena Nkosi, uyabusisa, njalo izabusiswa kuze kube nini lanini.

18Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho uDavida watshaya amaFilisti, wawehlisela phansia, wathatha iGathib lemizana yayo ekususa esandleni samaFilistic.

3 UDavida watshaya loHadadezeri inkosi yeZoba kuze kube seHamathi lapho esiyamisa amandla akhe emfuleni iYufrathid.

4 UDavida wasethumba kuye inqola eziyinkulungwane, labamabhiza abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, lamadoda ahamba ngenyawo azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili; uDavida wasequma imisipha yawo wonke amabhiza enqola, kodwa watshiya kuwo amabhiza enqola alikhulu.

5 Lapho amaSiriya eDamaseko eza ukusiza uHadadezeri inkosi yeZoba, uDavida watshaya kumaSiriya amadoda azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili.

6 UDavida wasebeka amabutho enqaba eSiriya yeDamasekoe; amaSiriya asesiba zinceku zikaDavida, aletha umthelo. Ngokunjalo iNkosi yamsindisa uDavida loba ngaphi aya khona.

7 UDavida wasethatha izihlangu zegolide ezaziphezu kwenceku zikaHadadezeri, waziletha eJerusalema.

8 Njalo eTibhathi leKuni, imizi kaHadadezeri, uDavida wathatha ithusi elinengi kakhulu; uSolomoni enza ngalo ulwandle lwethusi, lezinsika, lezitsha zethusif.

9 UTowu inkosi yeHamathig esizwa ukuthi uDavida utshayile ibutho lonke likaHadadezeri inkosi yeZoba,

10 wathuma uHadoramu indodana yakhe enkosini uDavida ukuyibuza impilakahle lokuyibusisa, ngenxa yokuthi ilwe loHadadezeri yamtshaya, (ngoba uHadadezeri wayengumuntu wezimpi esilwa loTowu), elezitsha zonke zegolide lezesiliva lezethusih.

11 Lalezo inkosi uDavida yazehlukanisela uJehova kanye lesiliva legolide eyakuletha kuvela ezizweni zonke, eEdoma, lakoMowabi, lebantwaneni bakoAmoni, lakumaFilisti, lakumaAmaleki.

12 UAbishayi indodana kaZeruya wasetshaya amaEdoma esihotsheni setshwayi, izinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili.

13 Wasebeka amabutho enqaba eEdoma; wonke amaEdoma asesiba zinceku zikaDavida. Ngokunjalo iNkosi yamsindisa uDavida loba ngaphi aya khona.

14 UDavida wabusa-ke phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke, wayesenza isahlulelo lokulunga kubo bonke abantu bakhe.

15 Njalo uJowabi indodana kaZeruya wayephezu kwebutho; loJehoshafathi indodana kaAhiludi wayengumabhalane;

16 loZadoki indodana kaAhitubi loAbhimeleki indodana kaAbhiyatha babengabapristi; loShavisha wayengumbhali;

17 loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayephezu kwamaKerethi lamaPelethi; lamadodana kaDavida ayezinhloko eceleni kwenkosi.

19Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho uNahashi inkosi yamaAmoni wafa, indodana yakhe yasisiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

2 UDavida wasesithi: Ngizamenzela umusa uHanuni indodana kaNahashi, ngoba uyise wangenzela umusa. UDavida wasethuma izithunywa ukuyamduduza ngoyise. Izinceku zikaDavida zasezifika elizweni labantwana bakoAmoni kuHanuni ukumduduzaa.

3 Kodwa iziphathamandla zabantwana bakoAmoni zathi kuHanuni: Kambe uDavida uyamhlonipha uyihlo emehlweni akho, ngoba ethume abaduduzi kuwe? Izinceku zakhe kazizanga kuwe yini ukuphenya lokuchitha lokuhlola ilizwe?

4 Ngakho uHanuni wathatha izinceku zikaDavida wazigela waquma izembatho zazo kungxenye kuze kube sezibunu zazo, waziyekela zahamba.

5 Basebehamba bamtshela uDavida ngalawomadoda; wasethuma ukuwahlangabeza, ngoba amadoda ayelenhloni kakhulu; inkosi yasisithi: Hlalani eJeriko zize zihlume izindevu zenu, beselibuya.

6 Abantwana bakoAmoni sebebonile ukuthi sebelevumba kuDavida, uHanuni labantwana bakoAmoni bathumela amathalenta* esiliva ayinkulungwane ukuziqatshela izinqola labagadi bamabhiza eMesopotamiyab leSiriya-Mahaka leZobac.

7 Basebeziqatshela inqola ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lambili lenkosi yeMahaka labantu bayod; basebesiza bamisa inkamba phambi kweMedebae; abantwana bakoAmoni basebebuthana bevela emizini yabo, beza empini.

9 Abantwana bakoAmoni basebephuma bahlela impi esangweni lomuzi, lamakhosi ayezile ayewodwa egangeni.

10 UJowabi esebonile ukuthi impondo zebutho zimelene laye ngaphambili langemuva, wakhetha kuwo wonke umkhethwa koIsrayeli, wabahlela ukumelana lamaSiriya.

11 Labaseleyo babantu wabanikela esandleni sikaAbishayi umfowabo; basebezihlela ukumelana labantwana bakoAmoni.

12 Wasesithi: Uba amaSiriya engikhulela, uzakuba lusizo lwami; kodwa uba abantwana bakoAmoni bekukhulela, ngizakusiza.

13 Bana lesibindi, siziqinise ngenxa yabantu bakithi langenxa yemizi kaNkulunkulu wethu; leNkosi kayenze okuhle emehlweni ayo.

14 UJowabi labantu ababelaye basebesondela phambi kwamaSiriya ukuya empini; asebaleka phambi kwakhe.

15 Abantwana bakoAmoni sebebona ukuthi amaSiriya ayabaleka, babaleka labo phambi kukaAbishayi umfowabo, bangena emzini. UJowabi wasengena eJerusalema.

16 AmaSiriya esebonile ukuthi atshayiwe phambi kukaIsrayeli athuma izithunywa akhupha amaSiriya ayengaphetsheya komfula. LoShofaki induna yebutho likaHadadezeri wayephambi kwawo.

17 Esetsheliwe uDavida, wabuthanisa uIsrayeli wonke, wachapha iJodani, wafika kibo, wahlela ibutho limelene lawo. UDavida esehlele impi ukumelana lamaSiriya, alwa laye.

18 Kodwa amaSiriya abaleka phambi kukaIsrayeli; uDavida wasebulala kumaSiriya abezinqola abazinkulungwane eziyisikhombisaf, lamadoda ahamba ngenyawo azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane, wabulala loShofaki induna yebuthog.

19 Izinceku zikaHadadezeri sezibonile ukuthi zitshayiwe phambi kukaIsrayeli, zenza ukuthula loDavida, zamsebenzela. Ngakho amaSiriya kawafunanga ukusiza abantwana bakoAmoni futhi.

20Kwasekusithi ngesikhathi sokuthwasa komnyaka, ngesikhathi amakhosi aphuma ngaso, uJowabi wakhokhela amaqhawe ebutho, wachitha ilizwe labantwana bakoAmoni, weza wavimbezela iRaba. Kodwa uDavida wasala eJerusalemaa. UJowabi waseyitshaya iRaba, wayichithab.

2 UDavida wathatha umqhele wenkosi yabo wawususa ekhanda layo, wawuthola ulesisindo sethalenta legolide, laphakathi kwawo kulelitshe eliligugu, wasubekwa ekhanda likaDavida. Wasekhupha impango enengi kakhulu emzinic.

3 Wakhupha abantu ababephakathi kwawo, wabaquma ngesaha, langamapiki ensimbi, langamahloka. Wenza njalo-ke uDavida kuyo yonke imizi yabantwana bakoAmonid; uDavida wasebuyela eJerusalema labo bonke abantu.

4 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho kwavuka impie lamaFilisti eGezerif; ngalesosikhathi uSibekayi umHushathi watshaya uSiphayi owabantwana besiqhwaga; asesehliselwa phansi.

5 Kwasekusiba khona impi futhi lamaFilisti; uElihanani indodana kaJayiri wasetshaya uLahimi umfowabo kaGoliyathi umGithi, oluthi lomkhonto wakhe lwalungangogodo lwabeluki.

6 Kwabuye kwaba khona futhi impi eGathi lapho okwakukhona umuntu omude owayeleminwe lamazwane kuyisithupha lesithupha, amatshumi amabili lane; laye futhi wazalwa yisiqhwaga.

7 Eseyisa uIsrayeli, uJonathani indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida, wamtshaya.

8 Laba bazalelwa isiqhwaga eGathi; basebesiwa ngesandla sikaDavida langesandla sezinceku zakhe.

21USathane wasesukuma emelana loIsrayelia, wavusa uDavida ukuthi abale uIsrayelib.

2 Ngakho uDavida wathi kuJowabi lakubabusi babantu: Hambani libale uIsrayeli kusukela eBherishebha kuze kufike koDani, lilethe kimi ukuze ngazi inani labo.

3 UJowabi wasesithi: INkosi kayandise ebantwini bayo njengoba benjalo ngokulikhulu. Nkosi yami, nkosi, abasizo bonke yini izinceku zenkosi yami? Inkosi yami ikufunelani lokhu? Izakuba licala ngani kuIsrayelic?

4 Kodwa ilizwi lenkosi laba lamandla phezu kukaJowabi. Ngakho uJowabi waphuma, wahambahamba phakathi kukaIsrayeli wonke; wafika eJerusalema.

5 UJowabi wasenika uDavida inani lokubalwa kwabantu. Njalo wonke uIsrayeli wayengamadoda azinkulungwane ezizinkulungwane lezinkulungwane ezilikhulu ahwatsha inkembad; loJuda wayengamadoda azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane lamatshumi ayisikhombisa ahwatsha inkembae.

6 Kodwa uLevi loBhenjamini kababalanga phakathi kwabo, ngoba ilizwi lenkosi lalinengeka kuJowabif.

7 Njalo kwaba kubi emehlweni kaNkulunkulu mayelana lalindaba; ngakho wamtshaya uIsrayeli.

8 UDavida wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Ngonile kakhulu ngoba ngenze linto. Kodwa khathesi, ake wedlulise ububi benceku yakho, ngoba ngenze ngobuthutha obukhulu.

10 Hamba ukhulume kuDavida uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Mina ngikubekela okuthathu; zikhethele okunye kukho engizakwenza kuwe.

12 Kumbe iminyaka emithathu yendlala; loba inyanga ezintathu uqedwa ebusweni bezitha zakho lenkemba yezitha zakho ikufice; kumbe insuku ezintathu inkemba yeNkosi, ngitsho umatshayabhuqe wesifo, elizweni, lengilosi yeNkosi ichitha kuwo wonke umngcele wakoIsrayeli. Ngakho-ke bona ukuthi yimpendulo bani engizayibuyisela kongithumileyog.

13 UDavida wasesithi kuGadi: Ngicindezelwe kakhulu; ake ngiwele esandleni seNkosi, ngoba izisa zayo zinengi kakhulu; kodwa kangingaweli esandleni somuntu.

14 Ngakho iNkosi yathuma umatshayabhuqe wesifo koIsrayeli; kwasekusiwa abantu abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.

15 UNkulunkulu wasethuma ingilosi eJerusalema ukuyibhubhisa; njalo isayibhubhisa, iNkosi yabona yazisola ngalobobubi, yasisithi kuyo ingilosi ebhubhisayo: Kwanele, khathesi buyisa isandla sakho. Ingilosi yeNkosi yayimi-ke ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusi.

16 UDavida wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona ingilosi yeNkosi imi phakathi komhlaba lamazulu lenkemba yayo ehwatshiweyo esandleni sayo iyelulele phezu kweJerusalema. UDavida labadala begqoke-ke amasaka bathi mbo ngobuso baboh.

17 UDavida wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Kakusimi yini othe kababale abantu? Yebo yimi owonileyo owenze okubi sibili. Kodwa lezizimvu zenzeni? Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, isandla sakho ake sibe phezu kwami laphezu kwendlu kababa, kodwa hatshi phezu kwabantu bakho ukuthi bahlutshwe.

18 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasisithi kuGadi katshele uDavida ukuthi uDavida kenyuke ayekwakhela iNkosi ilathi ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusii.

20 UOrinani enyemukula wabona ingilosi; lamadodana akhe amane ayelaye acatsha. UOrinani wayebhula-ke ingqoloyi.

21 UDavida esefika kuOrinani, uOrinani wakhangela wambona uDavida, waphuma ebaleni lokubhulela, wakhothamela uDavida ngobuso emhlabathini.

22 UDavida wasesithi kuOrinani: Nginika indawo yebala lokubhulela ukuze ngakhele iNkosi ilathi kuyo; nginike yona ngemali egcweleyo, ukuze inhlupheko imiswe ebantwini.

23 UOrinani wasesithi kuDavida: Zithathele, inkosi yami inkosi kayenze okuhle emehlweni ayo; khangela, ngiyanika inkabi zibe yiminikelo yokutshiswa, lezimbulo zibe zinkuni, lengqoloyi ibe ngumnikelo wokudla. Ngiyanika konkej.

24 Kodwa inkosi uDavida yathi kuOrinani: Hatshi, kodwa ngizathenga lokuthenga ngemali egcweleyo; ngoba kangiyikuthathela iNkosi okwakho, loba nginikele iminikelo yokutshiswa ngaphandle kwentengo.

25 UDavida wasemnika uOrinani ngaleyondawo amashekeli* angamakhulu ayisithupha egolide ngesisindok.

26 UDavida waseyakhela khona iNkosi ilathi, wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula, wayibiza iNkosi; yasimphendula ngomlilo ovela emazulwini phezu kwelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswal.

28 Ngalesosikhathi uDavida esebonile ukuthi iNkosi imphendule ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusi, wanikela khona imihlatshelo.

29 Ngoba ithabhanekele leNkosi uMozisi ayelenze enkangala lelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa ngalesosikhathi kwakusendaweni ephakemeyo eGibeyonim.

30 Kodwa uDavida wayengelakho ukuhamba phambi kwalo ukudinga uNkulunkulun, ngoba wethuswa yinkemba yengilosi yeNkosio.

22UDavida wasesithi: Le yindlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu, laleli lilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa kaIsrayelia.

2 UDavida waselaya ukubuthanisa abezizweni ababeselizweni lakoIsrayelib; wamisa ababazi bamatshe ukuthi babaze amatshe alungisiweyo okwakha indlu kaNkulunkuluc.

3 UDavida waselungisa insimbi enengi kakhulu yezipikili zezivalo zamasango leyokuhlanganisad; lethusi elinengi kakhulu elalingelakulinganiswa ngesisindoe;

4 lezigodo zemisedari ezingelakubalwa; ngoba amaSidoni lamaTire amlethela uDavida izigodo zemisedari ezinengi kakhuluf.

5 UDavida wasesithi: USolomoni indodana yami ungumfana, ubuthakathaka, lendlu ezakwakhelwa iNkosi kumele yenziwe ibe nkulu kakhulu, ibe lebizo ibe lodumo emazweni wonke. Ngakho ngizayilungiselela. UDavida waselungiselela kakhulu phambi kokufa kwakheg.

6 Wasebiza uSolomoni indodana yakhe, wamlaya ukuthi akhele iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli indlu.

7 UDavida wasesithi kuSolomoni: Ndodana yami, mina-ke, kwakusenhliziyweni yamih ukwakhela ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wami indlui.

8 Kodwa ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi lisithi: Uchithe igazi elinengij, walawula izimpi ezinkulu; kawuyikwakhela ibizo lami indlu, ngoba uchithe igazi elinengi emhlabeni phambi kwamik.

9 Khangela, uzazalelwa indodana ezakuba ngumuntu wokuphumulal; njalo ngizayiphumuza ezitheni zayo zonke inhlangothi zonke: Ngoba ibizo layo lizakuba nguSolomoni, njalo ngizanika ukuthula lokuphumula phezu kukaIsrayeli ensukwini zakhe.

10 Yena uzakwakhela ibizo lami indlum. Yena-ke uzakuba yindodana yami, lami ngibe nguyise; ngiqinise isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kukaIsrayeli kuze kube ninininin.

11 Khathesi, ndodana yami, iNkosi ibe lawe, njalo uphumelele wakhe indlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, njengokutsho kwayo ngaweo.

12 Kuphela iNkosi ikunike inhlakanipho lokuqedisisa, ikulaye ngoIsrayeli, ukuze ulondoloze umlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhop.

13 Khona uzaphumelela, uba unanzelela ukwenza izimiso lezahlulelo iNkosi eyakulaya uMozisi ngoIsrayeliq; qina, ube lesibindir; ungesabi, ungatshaywa luvalos.

14 Khangela-ke, ekuhluphekeni kwami ngilungisele indlu yeNkosi amathalenta* egolide ayizinkulungwane ezilikhulu, lamathalenta esiliva ayizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwanet, lethusi lensimbi okungelakulinganiswa ngesisindou, ngoba kunengi kakhulu; ngilungise lezigodo lamatshe. Uzakwengezelela-ke kukho.

15 Njalo ulezisebenzi ezinengi, ababazi bamatshe, lezingcitshi zamatshe lezezigodo, layo yonke indoda ehlakaniphileyo kuwo wonke umsebenzi.

16 Kakulanani legolide, lelesiliva, lelethusi, lelensimbiv. Sukuma usebenze; njalo iNkosi ibe lawew!

17 UDavida waselaya zonke induna zakoIsrayeli ukusiza uSolomoni indodana yakhex, esithi:

18 INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu kayilani yiniy? Kambe kayilinikanga yini ukuphumula inhlangothi zonkez? Ngoba inikele abahlali belizwe esandleni sami, lelizwe lehliselwe phansi phambi kweNkosi laphambi kwabantu bayo.

19 Khathesi misani inhliziyo yenu lomphefumulo wenu ukudinga iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenua. Sukumani-ke lakhe indawo engcwele yeNkosi uNkulunkulu, ukungenisa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi lezitsha ezingcwele zikaNkulunkulu endlini eyakhelwe ibizo leNkosib.

23UDavida esemdala esanele ngensukua wamisa uSolomoni indodana yakhe ukuthi abe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayelib.

3 AmaLevi asebalwa kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu kusiya phezuluc; lenani lawo, ngamakhanda awod, ngamadoda, laba zinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesificaminwembilie.

4 Kula kwakulezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lane okuqondisa umsebenzi wendlu yeNkosi; lezinduna labahluleli abayizinkulungwane eziyisithuphaf;

5 labagcini bamasango abayizinkulungwane ezine; labadumisi beNkosi abayizinkulungwane ezine ngezinto engizenzele ukudumisag, watsho uDavidah.

6 UDavida wasewehlukanisa ngezigabai, ngokwamadodana kaLevi, oGerishoni, uKohathi, loMerarij.

9 Amadodana kaShimeyi: OShelomithi loHaziyeli loHarani, emathathu. La ayezinhloko zaboyise koLadani.

10 Lamadodana kaShimeyio: OJahathi, uZiza, loJewushi, loBeriya. La ayengamadodana kaShimeyi, emane.

11 LoJahathi wayeyinhloko, loZiza engowesibili; kodwa uJewushi loBeriya babengelabantwana abanengi, ngakho babesendlini yaboyise ngokubalwa kanye.

13 Amadodana kaAmramu: OAroni loMozisiq. UAroni wehlukaniselwa-ker ukungcwelisa izinto ezingcwelengcwele, yena lamadodana akhe, kuze kube ninininis, ukutshisa impepha phambi kweNkosit, ukuyikhonzau, lokubusisa ngebizo layo kuze kube ninininiv w.

14 NgoMozisi umuntu kaNkulunkulux, amadodana akhe abizwa ngaphansi kwesizwe sakoLeviy.

17 Lamadodana kaEliyezeri ayenguRehabhiya inhlokob; uEliyezeri wayengelawo-ke amanye amadodana, kodwa amadodana kaRehabhiya ayemanengi okwedlulisayo.

19 Amadodana kaHebroni: OJeriya inhloko, uAmariya owesibili, uJahaziyeli owesithathu, uJekameyamu owesinec.

22 UEleyazare wasesifa, wayengelamadodana kodwa amadodakazih; amadodana kaKishi, abafowabo, asewathathai.

24 La ngamadodana kaLevi ngendlu yaboyisek, inhloko zaboyise, ngokubalwa kwawo, ngenani lamabizo, ngamakhanda awo, esenza umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu yeNkosil, kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulum.

25 Ngoba uDavida wathi: INkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ibanikile abantu bayo ukuphumula, bazahlala eJerusalema kuze kube sephakadenin.

26 Ngokunjalo-ke kumaLevi; kakulamuntu ozathwala ithabhanekele laloba yiziphi izitsha zalo zenkonzo yaloo.

27 Ngoba ngamazwi kaDavida okucina amadodana kaLevi abhalwa kusukela kwaleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu.

28 Ngoba indawo yawo yayingasesandleni samadodana kaAroni enkonzweni yendlu yeNkosi, phezu kwamaguma, laphezu kwamakamelo, laphezu kokuhlambulula zonke izinto ezingcwele, lomsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulup,

29 lowezinkwa zokubukiswaq, lowempuphu ecolekileyo yomnikelo wokudlar, lowezinkwana eziyizipatalala ezingelamvubelo, lowokubhakwe ngepanis, lowokukhanzingiweyot, lowesilinganiso sonkeu lobukhuluv;

31 lokunikela konke kweminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini ngamasabathaw, ngokuthwasa kwenyangax, langemikhosi emisiweyoy, ngenani, ngokwesimiso kukho, njalonjalo phambi kweNkosi.

32 Njalo azagcina umlindo wethente lenhlangano, lomlindo wendlu engcwelez, lomlindo wamadodana kaAroni, abafowabo, enkonzweni yendlu yeNkosia.

24Njalo izigaba zamadodana kaAroni. Amadodana kaAroni: ONadabi, loAbihu, uEleyazare, loIthamaria.

2 Kodwa oNadabi loAbihu bafa mandulo kuloyise, njalo bengelabantwana; ngakho oEleyazare loIthamari basebenza njengabapristib.

3 UDavida wasebehlukanisa, loZadoki emadodaneni kaEleyazarec, loAhimeleki emadodaneni kaIthamari, ngokwesikhundla sabo enkonzweni yabod.

4 Kwatholakala emadodaneni kaEleyazare inhloko zamaqhawe amanengi okwedlula emadodaneni kaIthamari mhla bewehlukanisa; emadodaneni kaEleyazare kwakulenhloko ezilitshumi lesithupha zendlu yaboyisee, lemadodaneni kaIthamari ngokwendlu yaboyisef, eziyisificaminwembili.

5 Basebezehlukanisa ngezinkatho, lezi laleziyana, ngoba izinduna zendlu engcwele lezinduna zikaNkulunkulu zazivela emadodaneni kaEleyazare lemadodaneni kaIthamarig.

6 UShemaya indodana kaNethaneli umbhali, ovela kumaLevi, wasezibhala phambi kwenkosi leziphathamandla loZadoki umpristih loAhimelekii indodana kaAbhiyathaj, lenhloko zaboyise zabapristi lezamaLevi; indlu kayise eyodwa yathathelwa uEleyazare, leyodwa yathathelwa uIthamari.

19 Isikhundla salaba enkonzweni yabo sasiyikungena endlini yeNkosi ngokwesimiso sabo ngesandla sikaAroni uyise, njengalokho iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yayimlayilep.

20 Labaseleyo emadodaneni kaLevi: Emadodaneni kaAmramu: NguShubayeli; emadodaneni kaShubayeli: NguJehideyaq.

23 Lamadodana kaHebronis, uJeriya owokuqala, uAmariya owesibili, uJahaziyeli owesithathu, uJekameyamu owesinet.

30 Lamadodana kaMushiz: OMahli loEderi loJerimothia. La ngamadodana amaLevi ngokwendlu yaboyise.

31 Lalaba labo benza inkatho yokuphosa njengabafowabob, amadodana kaAroni, phambi kukaDavida inkosic loZadokid loAhimelekie lenhloko zaboyise babapristi labamaLevi, inhloko yaboyise njengomfowabo omnciyane.

25UDavida lenduna zebuthoa behlukanisela-ke inkonzo emadodaneni kaAsafib lakaHemanic lakaJeduthunid, abaprofethae ngamachachof, ngezigubhu zezintambog, langensimbi ezincencethayoh. Lenani lamadoda omsebenzi lalinjengokwenkonzo yawo:

5 Bonke laba babengamadodana kaHemani umboni wenkosi emazwini kaNkulunkulu ukuphakamisa uphondo. Njalo uNkulunkulu wamnika uHemani amadodana alitshumi lane lamadodakazi amathathuo.

6 Bonke laba babesezandleni zikayise ekuhlabeleleni endlini yeNkosi ngensimbi ezincencethayop, izigubhu zezintamboq, lamachachor enkonzweni yendlu kaNkulunkulu, phansi kwesandla senkosi, oAsafis loJeduthunit loHemaniu.

24 UJowabi indodana kaZeruya waqalisa ukubala, kodwa kaqedangay; ngoba kwaba khona ulaka phezu kukaIsrayeli ngenxa yalokho; ngakho inani kalifakwanga1 ekulandiseni kwemilando yenkosi uDavidaz.

33 Njalo uAhithofeli wayengumeluleki wenkosik, loHushayil umArkim wayengumngane wenkosin.

34 Lemva kukaAhithofeli kwakuloJehoyada indodana kaBhenayao loAbhiyathap. Lomphathi webutho lenkosi kwakunguJowabiq.

28UDavida wasebuthanisa zonke iziphathamandla zakoIsrayelia, iziphathamandla zezizweb, leziphathamandla zezigaba ezazisebenzela inkosic, labaphathi bezinkulungwane, labaphathi bamakhulu, labaphathi bempahla yonke labezifuyo zenkosi labezamadodana ayod, lezinduna, lamaqhawe, lawo wonke amaqhawe alamandla, eJerusalemae.

3 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kimi: Kawuyikulakhela ibizo lami indlu, ngoba wena ungumuntu wempi, uchithe igazi elinengih.

4 Kanti iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yangikhetha kuyo yonke indlu kababa ukuthi ngibe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayelii kuze kube ninininij; ngoba yakhetha uJuda ukuba ngumbusik, lendlini yakoJuda indlu kababal; laphakathi kwamadodana kababa yangithanda ukungenza ngibe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonkem.

5 Lakuwo wonke amadodana ami (ngoba iNkosi yanginika amadodana amanengin) yakhetha uSolomoni indodana yamio ukuthi ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso weNkosi phezu kukaIsrayelip.

6 Yasisithi kimi: USolomoni indodana yakho nguye ozakwakha indlu yami lamaguma ami, ngoba ngimkhethile ukuba yindodana yami, lami ngizakuba nguyiseq.

7 Njalo ngizawuqinisa umbuso wakhe kuze kube ninininir uba eqina ukwenza imilayo yami lezahlulelo zami njengalamuhlas.

8 Ngakho-ke phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli wonke, ibandla leNkosi, lendlebeni zikaNkulunkulu wethu, gcinani lidinge yonke imilayo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze lidle ilifa lalelilizwe elihle, lenze abantwana benu badle ilifa lalo emva kwenu kuze kube ninininit.

9 Wena-ke, Solomoni ndodana yami, mazi uNkulunkulu kayihlou, umkhonze ngenhliziyo epheleleyo langengqondo evumayov; ngoba iNkosi iyazihlola zonke inhliziyow, iqedisise konke ukuzindla kwemicabango. Uba uyidinga, izatholwa nguwex; kodwa uba uyitshiyay, izakulahla kokuphelaz.

10 Bona-ke, ngoba iNkosi ikukhethile ukuthi wakhe indlu ibe yindlu engcwele; qina, ukwenzea.

11 UDavida wasenika uSolomoni indodana yakhe umdwebob wekhulusic, lowezindlu zalo, loweziphala zezinto eziligugu, lowamakamelo aphezulud, lowamakamelo aphakathi, lowendlu yesihlalo somusae.

14 Wapha igolide ngesisindo ngezinto zegolide, ngempahla yonke yenkonzo ngenkonzo, ngempahla yonke yesiliva ngesisindo, ngempahla yonke yenkonzo ngenkonzo,

15 lesisindo sezinti zesibane zegolidej, lezibane zazo zegolidek, ngesisindo soluthi lwesibane ngalunye lezibane zalo, langezinti zesibane zesiliva, ngesisindo soluthi lwesibane lezibane zalo, njengomsebenzi woluthi lwesibane ngalunye.

16 Wasenika igolide ngesisindo lamatafula ezinkwa zokubukiswa, ngalelo lalelotafula, lesiliva samatafula esiliva.

17 Lamafologwel lemiganu yokufafazam lezinkezon zegolide elicwengekileyo, langezitsha zegolide ngesisindo saleso lalesositshao, langezitsha zesiliva ngesisindo saleso lalesositsha.

18 Langelathi lempephap igolide elicwengekileyo ngesisindoq, langomdwebo wenqola yamakherubhi*r egolide elule impikos agubuzela umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi.

19 UDavida wathi: Konke lokhu iNkosi yenza ngikuqedisise ngombhalot ngesandla sayo phezu kwamiu, yonke imisebenzi yomdwebo.

20 UDavida wasesithi kuSolomoni indodana yakhe: Qina, ube lesibindi, usebenze; ungesabi, ungatshaywa luvalov; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wami, ilawew. Kayisoze yakulahla, kayisoze yakutshiya, uze uqede umsebenzi wonke wenkonzo yendlu yeNkosix.

21 Khangela-ke, izigaba zabapristi lezamaLevi, zenkonzo yonke yendlu kaNkulunkuluy; njalo kuzakuba lawe kuwo wonke umsebenzi, wonke oyingcitshi ovumayo kuyo yonke inkonzo, labaphathi labo bonke abantu bazakuba njengokulaya kwakho konkez.

29UDavida inkosi wasesithi ebandleni lonke: USolomoni indodana yami, yena yedwa uNkulunkulu amkhethileyo, usengumfana ubuthakathakaa, lomsebenzi mkhulu; ngoba isigodlo kayisiso somuntu, kodwa ngeseNkosi uNkulunkulub.

2 Ngakho ngiyilungisele indlu kaNkulunkulu wami ngamandla ami wonke, igolide lokwegolide, lesiliva lokwesiliva, lethusi lokwethusi, insimbi lokwensimbi, lezigodo lokwezigodo, amatshe e-onikse*c lawokubekwad, amatshe akhazimulayo lalemibalae, lenhlobo zonke zamatshe aliguguf, lamatshe e-alibasta* ngobunengig.

3 Laphezu kwakho, ngenxa yokuthanda kwami indlu kaNkulunkulu wami, nganikela indlu kaNkulunkulu wami inotho yegolide leyesiliva, engilakho, phezu kwakho konke engikulungisele indlu yendawo engcwele,

4 amathalenta* egolide azinkulungwane ezintathu egolidenih leOfirii, lamathalenta* esiliva elicwengekileyoj azinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, ukuhuqa imiduli yezindlu.

5 Igolide kusenzelwa okwegolide, lesiliva kusenzelwa okwesiliva, langawo wonke umsebenzi ngesandla sezingcitshi. Ngubani-ke ovumayo ukuzehlukanisela iNkosi lamuhla?

6 Inhloko zaboyise zasezinikela ngesihle, lezinduna zezizwe zakoIsrayelik, labaphathi bezinkulungwane labamakhulu, labaphathi bomsebenzi wenkosil.

7 Basebenikela emsebenzini wendlu kaNkulunkulu amathalenta* azinkulungwane ezinhlanu egolide, lenhlamvu ezizinkulungwane ezilitshumi, lamathalenta* esiliva azinkulungwane ezilitshumi, lamathalenta* ethusi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili, lamathalenta* ensimbi azinkulungwane ezilikhulum.

8 Lalabo okwatholwa kibo amatshe aligugu bawanika indlu yokuligugu yendlu yeNkosin ngaphansi kwesandlao sikaJehiyeli umGerishonip.

9 Basebethokoza abantu ngokunikela kwabo ngesihle, ngoba ngenhliziyo epheleleyo babenikele ngothando kuNkulunkulu; loDavida inkosi laye wathokoza ngentokozo enkuluq.

10 UDavida waseyibusisa iNkosi phambi kwamehlo ebandla lonke; uDavida wathi: Kawubusiswe wena Nkosi Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ubaba, kusukela ephakadeni kuze kube sephakadenir.

11 Kungokwakho, Nkosi, ubukhulus lamandlat lodumou lokunqoba lobukhosi; ngoba konke okusemazulwini lokusemhlabeni kungokwakho; umbuso ungowakho, Nkosi; wena uziphakamisile waba yinhloko phezu kwakho konkev.

12 Lenotho lodumo kuvela phambi kwakho, wena-ke ubusa phezu kwakho konkew; lesandleni sakho kukhona ukuqina lamandla, lesandleni sakho kukhona ukukhulisa lokupha amandla kubo bonkex.

14 Ngoba mina-ke ngingubani, labantu bami bangobani, ukuthi sithole amandla okunika ngothando ngokunje? Ngoba konke kuvela kuwe, sinikele kuwe okuvela esandleni sakho.

15 Ngoba singabemzini phambi kwakho labahlala njengabezizwe njengabo bonke obabay; insuku zethu emhlabeni zinjengesithunzi, njalo kalikho ithembaz.

16 Nkosi Nkulunkulu wethu, konke lokhu okunengi, esikulungisele ukwakhela wena indlu, kusenzelwa ibizo lakho elingcwele, kuvela esandleni sakho, njalo konke kungokwakho.

17 Ngiyazi-ke, Nkulunkulu wami, ukuthi wena uhlola inhliziyoa, uyabuthanda ubuqothob. Mina, ebuqothweni benhliziyo yami nginikele ngesihle zonke lezizinto; khathesi sengibonile ngentokozo abantu bakho abatholakala lapha ukuthi banikela kuwe ngesihlec.

18 Nkosi, Nkulunkulu kaAbrahama, uIsaka, loIsrayeli, obaba, gcina lokho laphakade ekuzindleni kweminakano yenhliziyo yabantu bakho, ulungise inhliziyo yabo kuwed.

19 Njalo unike uSolomoni indodana yami inhliziyo epheleleyo ukugcina imilayo yakho, ubufakazi bakho, lezimiso zakhoe, lokwenza konke, lokwakha isigodlof engisilungiseleleyog.

20 UDavida wasesithi kulo lonke ibandla: Khathesi busisani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu. Ibandla lonke laselibusisa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyiseh; bakhothama bamkhonza uJehova, lenkosii.

21 Basebehlabela imihlatshelo eNkosini, banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini, ngokusa kwalolosuku, amajongosi azinkulungwane, izinqama eziyinkulungwane, amawundlu ayinkulungwane, kanye leminikelo yabo yokunathwayo, lemihlatshelo ngobunengi kusenzelwa uIsrayeli wonkej.

22 Basebesidla banatha phambi kweNkosi ngalolosuku ngentokozo enkulu. Basebembeka okwesibilik uSolomoni indodana kaDavida ukuthi abe yinkosi, bamgcobela iNkosi waba ngumkhokhelil, loZadoki waba ngumpristim.

23 USolomonin wasehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaJehova njengenkosi esikhundleni sikaDavida uyise, waphumelela; loIsrayeli wonke wamlalelao.

24 Lazo zonke izinduna lamaqhawe kanye lawo wonke amadodana enkosi uDavida bazehlisela1 ngaphansi kukaSolomoni inkosi.

25 INkosi yasimphakamisa uSolomoni kakhulu phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli wonkep, yamnika ubukhosi bombuso obungazanga bube khona lakuyiphi inkosi ngaphambi kwakhe koIsrayeliq.

27 Njalo insuku abusa ngazo phezu kukaIsrayeli zaziyiminyaka engamatshumi amaner; eHebroni wabusa iminyaka eyisikhombisa, leJerusalema wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lantathus.

28 Wasesifa eseluphele kuhlet, enele ngezinsuku, inotho lodumo; uSolomoni indodana yakhe wasebusa esikhundleni sakheu.

29 Njalo izindaba zikaDavida inkosi, ezokuqala lezokucinav, khangela, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwezindaba zikaSamuweli umboniw legwalweni lwezindaba zikaNathani umprofethix legwalweni lwezindaba zikaGadiy umboniz,
