11 ke, ekubeni ubawo ubenithwalise idyokhwe enzima, mna ke ndiya kongeza edyokhweni yenu; ubawo ubenibetha ngeentsontelo, ke mna ndiya kunibetha ngeekatsi.
12 Baya ke ooYarobheham nabantu bonke kuRehabheham ngomhla wesithathu, njengoko wayethethe ngako ukumkani, esithi, Nòbuya nize kum ngomhla wesithathu.
13 Ukumkani wabaphendula kalukhuni; ukumkani uRehabheham walishiya icebo lamadoda amakhulu.
14 Wathetha kubo ngokwecebo lamadodana, esithi, Ubawo wayenza nzima idyokhwe yenu, mna ke ndiya kongeza kuyo; ubawo wanibetha ngeentsontelo, ke mna ndiya kunibetha ngeekatsi.
15 Akabaphulaphulanga ke abantu ukumkani; ngokuba esi siphendu sibe siphuma kuThixo, ukuze uYehova alimise ilizwi lakhe, abelithethile ngoAhiya waseShilo kuYarobheham unyana kaNebhati.
16 Akùbona ke onke amaSirayeli ukuba ukumkani akawaphulaphuli, abantu bambuyisela ukumkani ilizwi elithi, Sinasabelo sini na kuDavide? Asinalifa kunyana kaYese; elowo makaye ententeni yakhe, maSirayeli; zíkhangelele ngoku indlu yakho, Davide. Aya ezintenteni zawo ke amaSirayeli onke.
17 Ke oonyana bakaSirayeli, ababehleli emizini yakwaYuda, uRehabheham waba ngukumkani kubo.
