Kwathi sebefikile , wabheka u-Eliyabe, wathi: Impela ogcotshiweyo kaJehova uphambi kwakhe.

Wathi kubantu bakhe: Makube kude nami , Jehova, ukuba ngenze okunjalo kuyo inkosi yami, ogcotshiweyo kaJehova, ngelulele isandla sami kuye, lokhu engogcotshiweyo kaJehova.

Akukuhle okwenzileyo . Kuphila kukaJehova , nimelwe ukuf a, ngokuba anilindanga inkosi yenu , ogcotshiweyo kaJehova . Manje bhekani ukuthi umkhonto wenkosi uphi nesigubhu samanzi esasingasekhanda lakhe.

Jehova Nkulunkulu, ungafulatheli ogcotshiweyo wakho ; khumbula umusa wakho kuDavide inceku yakho.

Kepha u -Abishayi indodana kaSeruya waphendula wathi: UShimeyi akayikubulawa yini ngalokho , njengokuba wathuka ogcotshiweyo kaJehova , na?

UDavide wathi kuyo : Yini ukuba ungesabanga ukwelula isandla sakho , ubhubhise ogcotshiweyo kaJehova, na?

UDavide wathi kuye: Igazi lakho malibe phezu kwekhanda lakho , ngokuba umlomo wakho ufakazile ngawe , lapho uthi : Ngibulele ogcotshiweyo kaJehova. Isililo sikaDavide ngoSawule noJonathani

Lawa angamazwi okugcina kaDavide . UDavide indodana kaJese uthi , umuntu owaphakanyiselwa phezulu uthi , ogcotshiweyo kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe nomhlabeleli omnandi wakwa-Israyeli usho ukuthi:

Ngiyakuhlumisa uphondo lukaDavide , ogcotshiweyo wami ngimlungisele isibani.

Kalokhu ngiyazi ukuthi uJehova uyamsindisa ogcotshiweyo wakhe : esezulwini lakhe elingcwele uyamphendul a ngamandla okusindisa esandla sakhe sokunene.

Kepha usumlahlile, wamala, wamthukuthelela ogcotshiweyo wakho.

Umoya wamakhala ethu , ogcotshiweyo kaJehova , wabanjwa emigodini yabo, esathi ngaye: Phansi kwethunzi lakhe siyakuphila phakathi kwezizwe.

Ngalokho yazi, uqonde ukuthi, kusukela ekuphumeni kwezwi lokubuyisa nokwakha iJerusalema kuze kufike ogcotshiweyo , umbusi, kuyakuba ngamasonto ayisikhombisa , lihlale lakhiwe , izitaladi zalo nogange lwalo , amasonto angamashumi ayisithupha nambili nasesikhathini sokuhlupheka.

Emva kwalawo masonto angamashumi ayisithupha nambili ogcotshiweyo uyakunqunywa angabi namuntu ; umuzi nendlu engcwele kuyakuchithwa ngabantu bombusi ozayo , ukuphela kwakho kube sesikhukhuleni , kube ngukulwa kuze kube sekugcineni; incithakalo inqunyiwe.

Umpristi ogcotshiweyo alethe igazi lenkunzi etendeni lokuhlangana.

uma kungumpristi ogcotshiweyo owone kanjalo , aze ehlisele abantu icala , wonikela kuJehova ngesono sakhe one ngaso iduna elingenasici , kube ngumnikelo wesono,

Umpristi ogcotshiweyo wothabatha igazi lenkunzi , alilethe ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana,

Umpristi ogcotshiweyo esikhundleni sakhe phakathi kwamadodana akhe wonikela ngawo, kube yisimiso esiphakade; woshiswa wonke.
