2 Ke kaloku bekukho indoda eMahon, emsebenzi ubuseKarmele. Loo ndoda ke ibisisityebi kakhulu; yayineegusha ezingamawaka amathathu, neebhokhwe eziliwaka. Yayisekuchetyweni kweegusha zayo eKarmele.
3 Igama laloo ndoda lalinguNabhali, igama lomkayo linguAbhigali. Umfazi lowo wayenengqondo entle, eyinzwakazi; ke indoda leyo yayiyingcuka, zímbi iintlondi zayo, ingumKalebhi.
