6 USolomoni wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, kamlandelanga uJehova ngokupheleleyo njengoDavide uyise.
7 USolomoni wakhela uKemoshi isinengiso sakwaMowabi indawo ephakemeyo entabeni engaphambi kweJerusalema, noMoloki isinengiso sabantwana bakwa-Amoni.
8 Wabenzela kanjalo bonke omkakhe bezizwe abashisa impepho, bahlabela onkulunkulu babo.
9 UJehova wamthukuthelela uSolomoni, ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe yayiphambukile kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli owayebonakele kuye kabili,
10 wamyala ngale nto yokuthi akayikulandela abanye onkulunkulu; kepha akagcinanga lokho uJehova amyale ngakho.
11 Ngalokho uJehova wathi kuSolomoni: “Njengokuba wenzile lokho wena, ungagcinanga isivumelwano sami nezimiso zami engikuyale ngakho, ngiyakuwuhlwitha nokuhlwitha umbuso kuwe, ngiwunike inceku yakho.
12 Kepha angiyikukwenza emihleni yakho ngenxa kaDavide uyihlo, kodwa ngiyakuwuhlwitha esandleni sendodana yakho.
