UBati Sheb a wayesengena enkosini ekamelweni ; inkosi yayisindala ; u- Abishagi waseShunemi wayikhonza inkosi.

UBati Sheba wakhothama, wakhuleka enkosini. Yathi inkosi: Ubabeleni na?

Yayisiphendula inkosi u Davide, yathi: Ngibizele uBati Sheba . Wafika ebusweni benkosi, wema phambi kwenkosi.

Wayesekhothama uBati Sheba , ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi , wakhuluma enkosini, wathi: Mana njalo, nkosi yami, nkosi Davide.

UBati-Sheba wathi: Kulungile; ngizakukukhulumela enkosini.

Wayesehamba uBati Sheba, waya enkosini uSolomoni ukuba amkhulumele u-Adoniya kuyo. Inkosi yasukuma ukumhlangabeza, yamkhothamela, yahlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi , yambekela unina wenkosi isihlalo , wahlala ngakwesokunene sayo.

UDavide wathuma wabuza ngalowo wesifazane . Omunye wathi : Lowo akasiye uBati Sheba yini, indodakazi ka-Eliyamu, umka-Uriya umHeti, na?

UDavide wamduduza uBati Sheba umkakhe , wangena kuye, walala naye; wazala indodana , waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uSolomoni . UJehova wamthanda.
