1 Wathuma ke uHiram, ukumkani waseTire, abakhonzi bakhe kuSolomon; kuba ubevile ukuba uthanjisiwe ukuba abe ngukumkani, esikhundleni sikayise; ngokuba uHiram ubehleli emthanda uDavide yonke imihla.
2 Wathumela uSolomon kuHiram, esithi,
3 Ùyazi wena ukuba uDavide ubawo ubengenako ukulakhela igama likaYehova uThixo wakhe indlu, ngenxa yeentshaba ezibe zimjikelezile, wada uYehova wazibeka ngaphantsi kweentende zeenyawo zakhe.
4 Kaloku ke úndiphumzile uYehova, uThixo wam, ngeenxa zonke; akukho lutshaba, akukho sihlo sibi.
