Kwathi lapho abapristi sebephumile enda weni engcwele , ifu lagcwalisa indlu kaJehova,

UJehova wathuma ingelosi eyanquma onke amaqhawe anamandla , nabaholi, nezinduna ekamu lenkosi yase -Asiriya. Yayisibuyela ez weni layo ijabhile. Isingenile endlini kankulunkulu wayo , ababephume ezibilinini zayo bayibulala khona ngenkemba.

Kepha uJehova wathi kuDavide ubaba : Njengokuba kwakusenhliziy weni yakho ukwakhela igama lami indlu , wenza kahle, ngokuba kwakusenhliziyweni yakho lokho;

uye ez weni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi . Angiyikukhuphuka ngiphakathi kwenu, lokhu ningabantu abantamo ilukhuni, funa nginiqede endleleni.

Kwathi ekusukeni kwabo empumalanga bafumana ithafa ez weni laseShineyari; bakha khona.

U-Esawu wathatha omkakhe , namadodana akhe , namadodakazi akhe , nabantu bonke bendlu yakhe , nemfuyo yakhe, nezinkomo zakhe, nempahla yonke yakhe owayeyizuze ez weni laseKhanani , waya ezweni elikude nomfowabo uJakobe.

UJakobe wahlala ez weni laseGibithe iminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa; izinsuku zikaJakobe, iminyaka yokuhamba kwakhe , zaziyiminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amane nesikhombisa.

Bayakuhlala ez weni engilinike inceku yami uJakobe , ababehlala kulo oyihlo; bayakuhlala kulo, bona nabantwana babo , nabantwana babantwana babo kuze kube phakade, uDavide inceku yami abe yisikhulu sabo kuze kube phakade.

Ngiyakuthatha insali yakwaJuda ebhekise ubuso bayo ukuba ingene ezweni laseGibithe ukuba igogobale khona , baphele bonke , bawe ez weni laseGibithe, baphele ngenkemba nangendlala , abakhulu nabancane bafe ngenkemba nangendlala , babe yisithuko , nesimangaliso, nesiqalekiso, nehlazo.

Besiyakuliphilisa iBabele, kepha aliphiliswanga; lishiyeni, masihambe siye, kube yilowo nalowo ez weni lakubo , ngokuba ukwahlulelwa kwalo kufinyelela ezulwini, kuphakanyisiwe nasemafwini.

Bafika kubantwana bakwaRubeni nakubantwana bakwaGadi nakuyo inxenye yesizwe sakwaManase ez weni lakwaGileyadi , bakhuluma kubo , bathi:

Uyakugeza umzimba wakhe ngamanzi enda weni engcwele , agqoke izambatho zakhe , aphume, anikele ngomnikelo wakhe wokushiswa nangomnikelo wokushiswa wabantu, azenzele yena nabantu ukubuyisana.
