33 Inkosi yathi kubo: “Thathani izinceku zenkosi yenu, nimkhwelise uSolomoni indodana yami kuwo umnyuzi* wami, nimehlisele eGihoni,
34 uSadoki umpristi noNathani umprofethi bamgcobe khona abe yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli; bese nibetha amacilongo, nithi: ‘Mana njalo, nkosi Solomoni.’
35 Bese nenyuka emva kwakhe, afike ahlale esihlalweni sami sobukhosi, ngokuba uyakuba yinkosi esikhundleni sami; ngimbekile ukuba abe ngumbusi phezu kuka-Israyeli noJuda.”
36 UBenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayiphendula inkosi, wathi: “Amen; uJehova uNkulunkulu wenkosi yami, inkosi, makasho njalo naye.
37 Njengalokho uJehova waba nenkosi yami, inkosi, makabe naye uSolomoni, asenze isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sibe sikhulu kunesihlalo sobukhosi senkosi yami, inkosi uDavide.”
38 Base behla uSadoki umpristi, noNathani umprofethi, noBenaya indodana kaJehoyada, namaKhereti namaPheleti, bamkhwelisa uSolomoni kuwo umnyuzi* wenkosi uDavide, bamyisa eGihoni.
39 USadoki umpristi wathatha uphondo lwamafutha etendeni, wamgcoba uSolomoni. Babetha amacilongo, bonke abantu bathi: “Mana njalo, nkosi Solomoni.”
