35 Baphinda bonke abantu bamlilela. Bonke abantu beza kumdlisa uDavide isonka, kusesemini. Wafunga uDavide, esithi. UThixo makenjenje kum, aqokele ukwenjenje, ukuba ndithe, lingekatshoni ilanga, ndeva isonka, nokuba yinto eyiyimbi.
36 Bakugqala oko bonke abantu, kwalunga emehlweni abo; njengokuba konke abekwenza ukumkani bekulunga emehlweni abantu bonke.
37 Bazi ke abantu bonke namaSirayeli onke ngaloo mini, ukuba ukubulawa kuka-Abhinere, unyana kaNere, bekungaphume kukumkani.
38 Wathi ukumkani kubakhonzi bakhe, Anazi na, ukuba namhlanje kuwé umthetheli, umntu omkhulu kwaSirayeli?
39 Ke ndisebuthathaka, ndisathanjiswa namhla ukuba ndibe ngukumkani; la madoda, oonyana bakaTseruya, alukhuni kum. Akwaba uYehova angambuyekeza umenzi wobubi kwangobubi bakhe.
