16 Kwaya aboonyana bakaBhenjamin bakaYuda emboniselweni kuDavide.
17 Waphuma uDavide, waya kubakhawulela, wathi kubo, Ukuba niza kum ninoxolo, ukuba nindincede, intliziyo yam yoba nye neyenu; ke ukuba nize kundikhohlisa, nindinikele kubabandezeli bam, kungekho lugonyamelo esandleni sam, wóbona uThixo woobawo bethu, ohlwaye.
18 Umoya wamthi gqubuthu uAmasayi, intloko yabaphathi-mikhosi, wathi, Singabakho, Davide; singakuwe, nyana kaYese. Uxolo, uxolo lube kuwe, uxolo lube kubancedi bakho; ngokuba úya kuncéda uThixo wakho. Wabamkela ke uDavide, wabamisa baziintloko zamaqela.
19 KumaManase kwabakho abaphambela kuDavide, ekuyeni kwakhe namaFilisti ukuba kuliwe noSawule, baza àbawanceda; ngokuba zacebisana zamndulula izikhulu zamaFilisti, zisithi, Wóphambela kuSawule inkosi yakhe, senzakale ke.
20 Ekuyeni kwakhe eTsikelage, wathelelwa ngabakwaManase, uAdena, noYozabhadi, noYedihayeli, noMikayeli, noYozabhadi, noElihu, noTsiletayi, iintloko zamawaka akwaManase.
21 Bona bancedisana noDavide kuloo matutu; ngokuba babengamagorha anobukroti bonke, babengabathetheli emkhosini.
22 Ngokuba ngelo xesha babesiya iimini ngeemini kuDavide ukumnceda, yada yangumkhosi omkhulu, njengomkhosi kaThixo.
