18 Wagqiba uDavide ukunyusa amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo yoxolo, wabasikelela abantu, egameni likaYehova wemikhosi, wababèla bonke abantu,
19 yonke ingxokolo yamaSirayeli, kwathabathela kwindoda kwesa nakumfazi; elowo wamnika umqhathane wesonka, nomlinganiso wewayini, nesicumba seerasintyisi. Baya ke bonke abantu elowo endlwini yakhe.
20 Wabuya uDavide, eza kusikelela indlu yakhe. Waphuma uMikali intombi kaSawule, eya kukhawulela uDavide, wathi, Hayi, ukuzizukisa kokumkani wamaSirayeli namhla, ozihlubileyo namhla phambi kwabakhonzazana babakhonzi bakhe, njengoko azihlubayo umntu ongenabuntu.
21 Wathi uDavide kuMikali, Kube kusebusweni bukaYehova, owandinyulayo phambi koyihlo, naphambi kwendlu yakhe yonke, ukuba andimise ndibe yingànga yabantu bakaYehova, amaSirayeli; bekusebusweni bukaYehova ukuqamba kwam;
22 ndisaya kudeleka kunoko, ndithobeke emehlweni am; ke abakhonzazana othethe ngabo, ndisaya kuzukiswa ngabo.
23 Ke uMikali intombi kaSawule akabanga namntwana kwada kwangumhla wokufa kwakhe.
