36 Waya ke uAbhigali kuNabhali, nanko enesidlo endlwini yakhe njengesidlo sokumkani; intliziyo kaNabhali imnandi, enxila kunene. Akamxelela nto, nokuba yencinane nokuba yenkulu, kwada kwasa ngengomso.
37 Kwathi ngengomso, ukuphuma kwewayini kuNabhali, umkakhe wamxelela loo mazwi; yafa intliziyo yakhe phakathi kwakhe, yaba lilitye.
38 Kwathi, zakuba seshumini iintsuku, uYehova wambetha uNabhali, wafa.
39 Weva uDavide ukuba uNabhali ufile, wathi, Makabongwe uYehova okuthetheleleyo ukungcikivwa kwam, wandikhulula esandleni sikaNabhali, wamnqanda umkhonzi wakhe ebubini, uYehova wabubuyisela ububi bukaNabhali entlokweni yakhe. Wathumela uDavide, wathetha kuAbhigali ukuba amzeke, abe ngumkakhe.
40 Baya abakhonzi bakaDavide kuAbhigali eKarmele, bathetha kuye, besithi, UDavide usithume kuwe ukuba akuzeke, ube ngumkakhe.
41 Wesuka, waqubuda ngobuso emhlabeni, wathi, Nanku umkhonzazana wakho wokuba likhobokazana lokuhlamba iinyawo zabakhonzi benkosi yam.
42 Wangxama ke uAbhigali, wesuka, wakhwela e-esileni, elandelwa sisihlanu somthinjana, wabalandela abathunywa bakaDavide, waba ngumkakhe.
