Wathatha izinkabi ezimbili, wazihlahlela, wazithuma emikhawulweni yonke yakwa-Israyeli ngesandla sezithunywa, ethi: Ongaphumi emva kukaSawule noSamuweli kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kuzo izinkabi zakhe . Ingebhe ngoJehova yehlela phezu kwabantu, baphuma njengomuntu munye.

Bachitha yonke imizi ezungeza iGerari , ngokuba ingebhe ngoJehova yayiphezu kwabo ; baphanga yonke imizi, ngokuba kwakukhona impango eningi kuyo.

Kwehlela ingebhe ngoJehova phezu kwayo yonke imibuso yamazwe eyayinxazonke zakwaJuda, ayilwanga noJehoshafati.

Amakhosi omhlaba ayazihlanganisa , nababusi baceba iceb o ngoJehova nangogcotshiweyo wakhe ngokuthi:

Umphefumulo wami uyakuzibonga ngoJehova ; abathobekileyo bayakukuzwa, bajabule.

zithokozise ngoJehova, yikhona ezakukunika okufiswa yinhliziyo yakho.

Kusasa niyakubona inkazimulo kaJehova , lokhu ezwile izinkonono zenu ngoJehova; thina siyini ukuba nikhonone ngathi na?

Uyakuwahlakaza, umoya uwasuse , isivunguvungu siwachithe ; wena uyakuthokoza ngoJehova, uzibonge ngoNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

Ngiyathokoza nokuthokoza ngoJehova , umphefumulo wami wenama ngoNkulunkulu wami , ngokuba ungembathisile izingubo zensindiso , wangisibekela ngesambatho sokulunga, njengomyeni efaka iqhele ngokompristi, nanjengomakoti ezihlobisa ngezimvunulo zakhe.

Ngimisile abalind i phezu kwezingang e zakho , Jerusalema; abayikuthula nakanye imini nobusuku ; nina eningabakhumbuzi ngoJehova maningaphumuli,

Kepha indlu yakwaJuda ngiyakuyihawukela, ngibasindise ngoJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, ngingabasindisi ngomnsalo, nangenkemba, nangokulwa, nangamahhashi, nangabamahhashi.

Enikucebayo ngoJehova uyakuqeda yena ; ukuhlupheka akuyikuvela ngokwesibili.

Abantu bafika kuMose , bathi: Sonile, ngokuba sikhulume kabi ngoJehova nangawe; khuleka kuJehova ukuba asuse izinyoka kithi . UMose wabakhulekela abantu.
