¹ Davide wakhuluma netindvuna takhe ngayinye ngayinye, tindvuna tetinkhulungwane, netemakhulu.

² Wakhuluma kulo lonkhe libandla lema-Israyeli, watsi: “Nakubonakala kukuhle kini, kantsi futsi nakuyintsandvo yaSimakadze Nkulunkulu wetfu, asitfumele livi kubo bonkhe besive sakitsi kuyo yonkhe imimango yaka-Israyeli, nakubaphristi kanye nakumaLevi labanawo emadolobheni abo lanemadlelo kutsi bete batekutihlanganisa natsi.

³ Asilibuyise lapha kitsi libhokisi lesivumelwane saNkulunkulu wetfu, ngobe asizange sibute kulo, ngesikhatsi kusabusa Sawula.”

⁴ Lonkhe lelo bandla lavumelana nalowo mbono, ngobe kwabonakala kulungile kubo bonkhe bantfu.

⁵ Ngako Davide wahlanganisa onkhe ema-Israyeli, kusukela emfuleni iShihori, eGibhithe, kuze kuyewufika eLebo Hamathi, kuze atewulandza libhokisi lesivumelwane saNkulunkulu eKhiriyathi Jeyarimu.

⁶ Davide kanye nawo onkhe ema-Israyeli bahamba baya eBhala yakaJuda, eKhiriyathi Jeyarimu, kulandza libhokisi lesivumelwane saNkulunkulu Simakadze, lobusela esihlalweni sebukhosi asemkhatsini wemakherubhi lasetikwelibhokisi lesivumelwane lelibitwa ngelibito lakhe.

⁷ Libhokisi lesivumelwane saNkulunkulu balitsatsa endlini ya-Abinadabi ngencola lensha, icondziswa bo-Uza na-Ahiyo.

⁸ Davide kanye nawo onkhe ema-Israyeli babejabula bagidza ngawo onkhe emandla abo embikwaNkulunkulu ngetingoma, nangemahabhu, nangemalire, nangemafahlawane, nangemasimbali kanye nangemacilongo.

⁹ Batsi kube befike ebaleni laKhidoni lekubhulela kolo, Uza welula sandla sakhe, entela kubamba libhokisi lesivumelwane, ngobe letinkhabi takhubatela.

¹⁰ Lulaka lwaSimakadze lwamvutsela Uza, wamshaya, ngobe abesabambe lelibhokisi lesivumelwane. Ngako Uza wafa, wafela embikwaNkulunkulu.

¹¹ Davide wase uyatfukutsela, ngobe lulaka lwaSimakadze lwalwehlele etikwa-Uza. Kuze kube ngulamuhla loku leyo ndzawo seyabitwa ngekutsi yiPheresi Uza.

¹² Ngalelo langa Davide wesaba Nkulunkulu, wate wabuta watsi: “Pho, ngingaliletsa kanjani libhokisi lesivumelwane saNkulunkulu lapha kami?”

¹³ Ngako wangabe asalitsatsa kutsi ahambe nalo aye eJerusalema, Lidolobha laDavide. Esikhundleni saloko, walikhweshisa walibeka endlini ya-Obedi Edomu, waseGathi.

¹⁴ Libhokisi lesivumelwane saNkulunkulu lahlala nebaka-Obedi Edomu endlini yakhe tinyanga letintsatfu; Simakadze wawubusisa umndeni wakhe nako konkhe labenako.
