7 Wathumela uDavide kuTamare endlwini, esithi, Khawuye endlwini ka-Amnon umnakwenu, umenzele ukudla.
8 Waya uTamare endlwini ka-Amnon umnakwabo, yena elele phantsi. Wathabatha intlama, waxovula, wenza izonkana eziyolisa intliziyo phambi kwakhe, wazosa izonkana eziyolisa intliziyo.
9 Wathabatha ipani, wazikhuphela phambi kwakhe; akavuma ukudla. Wathi uAmnon, Mabakhutshwe abantu bonke, baphume kum. Baphuma bonke abantu kuye.
10 Wathi uAmnon kuTamare, Kuzise ekhusini apha ukudla, ndidle esandleni sakho. Wazithabatha uTamare izonkana eziyolisa intliziyo abezenzile, wazisa ekhusini kuAmnon umnakwabo.
11 Wazisondeza kuye ukuba adle. Wesuka yena, wambamba, wathi kuye, Yiza, ulale nam, dade wethu.
12 Wathi kuye, Musa, mnakwethu, musa ukundidlwengula; ngokuba akwenjiwa nje kwaSirayeli; musa ukulenza eli nyala.
13 Mna ndingaya phi na nehlazo lam? Ke wena ungaba njengowabanobudenge kwaSirayeli. Khawuthethe ke ngoko nokumkani; ngokuba akangemangali nam kuwe.
