USolomoni wathi : Wenzele inceku yakho uDavide ubaba umusa omkhulu njengokuhamba kwakhe phambi kwakho ngeqiniso , nangokulunga, nangobuqotho benhliziyo kuwe , wamgcinela futhi lowo musa omkhulu , wamnika indodana ukuba ihlale esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi , njengokuba kunjalo namuhla.

Ngiyazi, Nkulunkulu wami , ukuthi uhlola inhliziyo , uthanda ubuqotho . Mina-ke ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami nginikele ngokuthokoza zonke lezi zinto, futhi sengibonile ngokujabula abantu bakho abakhona lapha ukuthi nabo banikele kuwe ngokuthokoza.

U-Eliyabe umfowabo omkhulu wezwa lapho ekhuluma kubantu ; intukuthelo ka -Eliyabe yamvuthela uDavide, wathi: Wehleleni na? Uzishiye kubani leziya zimvu ezingengakanani ehlane na ? Mina ngiyakwazi ukuziphakamisa kwakho nobubi benhliziyo yakho , ngokuba wehlile ukuba ubuke impi.

Ngiyakukubonga ngobuqotho benhliziyo , lapho ngifunda izahlulelo zakho ezilungileyo.

Njalo wabelusa ngobuqotho benhliziyo yakhe , wabahola ngenhlakanipho yesandla sakhe.

Imihla ngemihla baqinisela nganhliziyonye ethempelini, bahlephula isinkwa ekhaya, badla ukudla kwabo ngentokozo nangobumhlophe benhliziyo,

behlwelwe emqondweni , behlukanisiwe nokuphila kukaNkulunkulu ngokungazi okukubo ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo,

Zinceku, abangamakhosi enu ngokwenyama , balaleleni ngokwesaba nokuthuthumela ngobuqotho benhliziyo yenu kungathi kukuKristu,

Ngakho-ke njengabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu , abangcwele nabathandekayo, yembathani ububele benhliziyo , nesisa, nokuzithoba, nobumnene, nokubheka kade,

Zinceku, lalelani ezintweni zonke labo abangamakhosi enu ngokwenyama , kungengokuthenga amehlo njengabathokozisa abantu kodwa ngobuqotho benhliziyo, niyesabe iNkosi.

UJesu wayesethi kubo : Ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo yenu wanilobela lowo myalo.

Ngasemuva wabonakala kwabayishumi nanye behlezi ekudleni , wabasola ngokungakholwa kwabo nangobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo , ngokuba bengakholwanga yilabo abambonileyo esevukile.

Waqalaza ebabuka ngokuthukuthela , edabukile ngobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo; wayesethi kulowo muntu: Yelula isandla. Waselula, saphiliswa isandla sakhe.

Wathi kubo : Ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo ye nu uMose wanivumela ukwahlukana nabo omkenu, kepha kusukela kwasekuqaleni kwakungenjalo.
